By Ron Jacobs| CounterPunch Verified As residents of a Vermont town that recently passed the AFSC Apartheid-Free Communities pledge, we write today to ask our Vermont state and federal representatives to stop collaborating with the weapons industry made up of corporations like GlobalFoundries, General Dynamics, and Israel’s Elbit Systems that, besides building deadly weapons, have been exposed as causing severe harm to our pristine Vermont environment.
By Ron Jacobs| CounterPunch Verified I got on the city bus relatively early on the morning of April, 14, 2025. The sun was shining, but the temperature was only a couple degrees above freezing, normal for this time of year in Vermont. Fifteen minutes later I got off, walked a couple blocks and joined a protest outside the building housing the federal courthouse in Burlington, VT.
By Ron Jacobs| CounterPunch Verified Recently, Verso Books published a translation of Louisa Yousfi’s Rester barbare, giving it the English title In Defense of Barbaraism: Non-whites Against the Empire. Some would call this text a brutal, crude, even savage book. My response to that charge is simple. That is part of its intention. In Defense of Barbarism is a compact punch to the gut of western colonialism and its detritus.
