June 19, 2025 by Graeme MacKay

Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, the assertive leadership styles of Netanyahu, Khamenei, and Trump raise concerns about the potential for conflict and the need for measured diplomacy.

Hotheads at the Helm: Navigating Middle East Turbulence

The fall of Assad’s regime in Syria marks a crushing blow to Putin and Iran, stripping them of a key ally and undermining their influence in the Middle East.

December 10, 2024

As tensions escalate in the Middle East, the spotlight turns to the leaders at the helm: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and U.S. President Donald Trump. Each of these figures brings a distinct style of leadership, characterized by assertiveness and, at times, unpredictability. In a region fraught with historical grievances and contemporary challenges, the stakes are high, and the need for steady, measured leadership has never been more critical.

Netanyahu’s recent shift in military strategy marks a departure from Israel’s long-standing policy of containment towards more aggressive actions against Iran and its proxies. While this approach aims to neutralize perceived threats, it also risks entrenching Israel further into prolonged conflict. Netanyahu’s decisive yet polarizing leadership style has drawn both support and criticism, reflecting the complex calculus of security and diplomacy in the region.

News: Here’s Donald Trump’s endgame in Iran

On the first anniversary of the war, Iran's continued backing of Hamas and Hezbollah underscores its role in prolonging the conflict and obstructing any path toward peace between Israel and Palestine.

Tuesday October 7, 2024

In Iran, Khamenei’s enduring defiance amid mounting pressures highlights his steadfast commitment to preserving the Islamic Republic’s ideological and strategic interests. However, his leadership faces significant challenges as Iran grapples with internal dissent and external threats. The current crisis tests the resilience of a regime built on a foundation of revolutionary fervour and regional influence.

Trump’s return to the presidency has reintroduced a brand of leadership that is both assertive and controversial. While his administration touts a strong stance against adversaries like Iran, critics argue that his approach lacks the nuance and diplomacy necessary for resolving complex international issues. The U.S., once a beacon of freedom and democracy, faces scrutiny under leadership perceived by some as divisive and unpredictable.

As battle lines are drawn, the world watches with bated breath, aware that the decisions made by these leaders could have far-reaching consequences. The volatile nature of the current leadership landscape underscores the importance of caution and diplomacy. Hotheaded decisions made in the heat of the moment could escalate conflicts, leading to unintended and potentially catastrophic outcomes.

Opinion: Iran War Reflects a Changed Middle East and a New Israeli Military Doctrine

Netanyahu’s military escalation may yield short-term successes, but without a shift toward diplomacy and a genuine commitment to addressing Palestinian grievances, the region risks spiralling into even greater chaos.

September 28, 2024

For the international community, the path forward requires a renewed commitment to dialogue and collaboration. Engaging with regional and global partners to address the root causes of conflict and promote stability is essential. Encouraging restraint and fostering an environment conducive to negotiation will be key to averting further escalation.

In these uncertain times, steady leadership is paramount. The challenges facing the Middle East demand leaders who can balance assertiveness with diplomacy, strength with compassion, and resolve with flexibility. It is through such leadership that the region can hope to navigate its way toward lasting peace and security.

As history has shown, the choices made by leaders today will shape the future for generations to come. The call for measured leadership is not just a plea for peace but a demand for responsible governance that prioritizes the well-being of all people in the region. Only then can the Middle East move beyond the cycle of conflict and towards a brighter, more stable future.


Gambling with World War III

Right now, the future of the Middle East—and potentially the world—rests with three of the most volatile leaders we could imagine: Benjamin Netanyahu, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Donald Trump. Each of them is surrounded by folks eager for conflict and religious extremism, making this a truly nerve-wracking situation.

These aging leaders seem more interested in their legacies than in the well-being of nations and lives. Their actions threaten to tip the world into another crisis, as their inability to sit down and talk things out could set off a chain reaction of chaos.

This isn’t a game with any winners. The lives of countless people are in the hands of these three, and their next moves could lead to widespread suffering. We can only hope that someone, somewhere, finds a way to bring some sanity to the situation before it’s too late.

A Year After October 7: The Dead End of Hamas’s Brutality and the World’s Inaction

Netanyahu’s military escalation may yield short-term successes, but without a shift toward diplomacy and a genuine commitment to addressing Palestinian grievances, the region risks spiralling into even greater chaos.

September 28, 2024

As we mark the first anniversary of Hamas’s brutal assault on Israel, it is impossible to overstate the devastating consequences of that attack—not just for the Israelis and Palestinians but for the broader goal of peace in the Middle East. In his recent essay, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman forcefully condemned Hamas’s actions on October 7, calling them not only indefensible but also a severe setback to any hopes for a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He is right. Hamas’s violence, fuelled by hatred and driven by no goal other than destruction, has shattered any glimmers of hope for the long-term solution that should be the only acceptable outcome: two states for two peoples, living side by side in dignity and peace.

Thomas L. Friedman: What I’m Thinking About on the First Anniversary of the War

The attack, in which Hamas brutally murdered, kidnapped, and terrorized Israeli civilians, was horrific. It left communities devastated, families shattered, and deepened the abyss of mutual mistrust and hostility. But beyond the raw brutality, what is particularly tragic is how much this act has set back the cause of Palestinian statehood—the very cause Hamas claims to represent. By engaging in terrorism rather than constructive diplomacy, Hamas not only reignited Israel’s fury but also reinforced global skepticism about the possibility of a peaceful Palestinian leadership emerging in Gaza.

Amidst evolving global challenges, Canada must prioritize aiding Ukraine's defence against Russian aggression while also providing crucial humanitarian assistance to address the famine crisis in Palestine.

March 20, 2024

For decades, the two-state solution has been seen by many, including Friedman and countless international diplomats, as the only viable path to peace. Yet Hamas’s actions have pushed that vision further out of reach. It was a strategic blunder as much as it was a moral atrocity, handing Israel the justification to retaliate with overwhelming force and to focus on military victory rather than any long-term political solution.

And what of the innocent civilians on both sides? The war has inflicted untold suffering on ordinary people, caught in the crossfire of this seemingly endless conflict. In Israel, families live in constant fear of rocket attacks. In Gaza, civilians—women, children, the elderly—are paying the price for Hamas’s decision to embed itself in residential areas, hospitals, and schools. Gaza’s residents, already living in crippling poverty and under blockade, have been subjected to unimaginable horrors. Hospitals have been bombed, neighbourhoods reduced to rubble, and the humanitarian crisis has worsened by the day. Israel’s military actions, aimed at Hamas, have also caused widespread civilian casualties, deepening the despair of a people who have already suffered for far too long.

Yet as Friedman rightly points out, Israel, too, bears responsibility for its inability to offer a vision for Gaza beyond “total victory” over Hamas. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government has pursued a war strategy that, without a plan for what comes next, risks turning Gaza into an eternal battlefield. The relentless bombing of schools and homes to kill a few militants is not a long-term solution, and it only solidifies Israel’s image as a brutal occupier in the eyes of much of the world. Without articulating a vision for peace—a real future for the Palestinians who live in Gaza—Israel will never be able to claim victory in the broader battle for the moral high ground.

Putin and Iran are using the Israel-Palestine crisis to divert attention from Russia's Ukraine invasion and undermine the West by supporting Hamas and spreading anti-Western disinformation.

October 20, 2023

The international community, for its part, has failed miserably in its responsibility to broker peace and end the senselessness. For a year, global leaders have stood by, wringing their hands while the violence escalates, incapable or unwilling to step in and demand a cease-fire, negotiate a viable solution, or impose any meaningful consequences for war crimes. The United States, under President Biden, has sent mixed messages—offering tepid warnings to Israel while continuing to supply weapons. Meanwhile, Europe, once a voice for human rights, has largely remained silent as Gaza burns. The global community’s dysfunction and impotence are a tragedy of their own, enabling the continuation of violence and suffering.

News: War rages on multiple fronts as Israel marks a year since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack

Friedman also touches on a darker undercurrent in Israeli politics: Prime Minister Netanyahu’s apparent interest in prolonging the war to serve his own political needs. Facing corruption charges, Netanyahu has used the conflict to delay his day in court and to bolster his standing with his far-right allies, who demand total victory and the continued expansion of settlements in the West Bank. This political calculus, combined with a lack of coherent strategy, risks dragging Israel into a perpetual cycle of violence, one in which neither peace nor security can ever be fully achieved.

The relentless conflict in Gaza places both Palestinian and Israeli civilians in a dire predicament. As Hamas, responsible for numerous deadly acts against Israel and hostage-taking, triggers a planned offensive by Israel's IDF in northern Gaza City, it is inevitable that innocent civilians will suffer the repercussions.

October 14, 2023

This anniversary is a grim reminder of what happens when extremism, short-term thinking, and cynical political maneuvering drive policy instead of a genuine commitment to peace. Hamas, with its embrace of terror and rejection of diplomacy, has done as much harm to the Palestinian cause as it has to Israeli civilians. Meanwhile, Israel’s military response, unchecked by the international community and lacking any clear endgame, has deepened the suffering of Palestinians and alienated the global moral support it once relied on.

But there is a way forward—if only the world will seize it. As Friedman suggests, the key lies in rebuilding a legitimate Palestinian partner for peace, one that is capable of leading Gaza and the West Bank toward statehood. The Palestinian Authority, despite its flaws, remains the only viable alternative to Hamas. Israel must support its reform and empower it to govern Gaza, as part of a broader vision of two states. At the same time, the international community must pressure Israel to halt settlement expansion and recognize that permanent occupation and endless war will never bring security or peace.

It is a bitter irony that, one year after the October 7 attacks, the future seems bleaker than ever for both Israelis and Palestinians. But it does not have to be this way. There is still a path toward peace, if leaders on all sides are willing to take it. That path, however, requires an end to violence, an end to cynicism, and a renewed commitment to the only solution that can ever bring lasting justice and security: two states for two peoples, living side by side. Anything less is not just a failure of leadership—it is a failure of humanity. (AI)

Cartoon an ‘inversion of reality’

October 9, 2024 letter

Graeme Mackay’s Oct. 8 cartoon depicted Israel’s prime minister fighting over a dove with Iran’s ayatollah, standing over a mountain of bones. This caricature drew an obscene moral equivalence.

One year ago, Hamas (an Iranian-backed terrorist proxy), launched the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. The next day, Hezbollah, another Iranian proxy, began firing 10,000 rockets indiscriminately into Israel. Soon the Houthis in Yemen and other groups allied with Iran joined in. All of them are sworn to Israel’s destruction.

And yet Israel — for refusing to lie down and die — is put in the same category as the genocidal maniacs who seek to destroy it, and whose followers have been rampaging on our streets for a year? This is akin to showing Hitler and Churchill fighting over a mountain of graves and is an absolute inversion of reality.

Innocents caught in the crossfire
Re: Cartoon an ‘inversion of reality’ Oct. 9

October 10, 2024 

Graeme MacKay’s Oct. 8 cartoon depicted the reality of what is now happening in Gaza and the West Bank. What happened on Oct. 7, 2023, is pure horror for the people of Israel and for Jews around the world. As for how it was allowed to happen, the Israeli people deserve an honest answer.

For Israel, when it comes to defending its people, that is totally understandable. What the gentleman from HonestReporting Canada has failed to see is, peace is something that is earned. In all honesty whether it is Hamas, an extremely violent terrorist group, or prime minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu — both have caused the deaths of thousands of innocent people. The failure to see what has happened to these people is unconscionable.

Donald Trump's proposals to end the Ukraine war by conceding territory to Russia undermine the Ukrainian people's fight for sovereignty and should not dictate the fate of a nation fighting for its freedom.

Editorial Cartoon by Graeme MacKay, The Hamilton Spectator – Saturday September 28, 2024

Ukraine’s Fate Should Be Decided by Ukrainians, Not Trump’s Self-Serving Schemes

Both former President Trump and President Biden have expressed differing approaches towards Ukraine, with Trump facing impeachment over allegations of pressuring Ukraine for political gain, while Biden has pledged continued support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

January 4, 2023

Donald Trump’s recent statements about Ukraine, including his repeated pledge to end the war “on day one” if elected, paint a dangerously simplistic picture of an incredibly complex and devastating conflict. His rhetoric is filled with vague promises like “I’ll work for a deal that’s good for both sides” and the notion that “Ukraine is gone”, suggesting that he already views the war-torn nation as a lost cause. But in reality, what Trump offers is not a path to peace but a deal on a silver platter for Vladimir Putin, all while ignoring the will and determination of the Ukrainian people. Ukraine’s future should not be decided by Trump or anyone else with a self-serving agenda. It should be determined by the Ukrainians themselves, who continue to fight for their sovereignty, independence, and freedom.

News: Harris decries Trump’s ‘proposals of surrender’ as Zelenskyy visits White House

Donald Trump's recent remarks, cheering on aggression against NATO countries, and Canada's position as a buffer between Russia and potential U.S. instability, highlight the urgent need for a rethink on global security.

February 13, 2024

Trump has repeatedly suggested that Ukraine should give up some of its land to Russia as part of a peace settlement. This is an outrageous proposition. It’s a move that would embolden not just Russia but any country with territorial ambitions, sending a message that military aggression pays off in the long run. Trump’s cavalier attitude toward Ukraine’s territorial integrity, which he frames as merely a bargaining chip, mirrors his broader “America First” ethos — one that sacrifices international norms and human dignity for expediency and personal gain.

Should Trump’s vision come to pass, the consequences would reverberate far beyond Ukraine. A brokered deal that allows Russia to carve up Ukraine could serve as a green light for other aggressive regimes to pursue territorial ambitions. China’s saber-rattling against Taiwan is an obvious concern. If Russia successfully annexes Ukrainian territory through force, what’s to stop China from making a similar attempt in Taiwan? And what about other former Soviet states like the Baltic countries? Once Putin succeeds in Ukraine, what’s to stop him from casting his gaze toward Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania, former Soviet territories now firmly within the NATO umbrella?

As Ukrainian President Zelenskyy urgently seeks continued U.S. support against Putin's invasion, the resistance from Republican lawmakers prioritizing immigration over aiding Ukraine underscores the disheartening politicization and potential neglect of a critical international conflict.

December 13, 2023

Trump’s laissez-faire approach to autocrats is not just morally bankrupt; it’s a strategic catastrophe in the making. It weakens the global norm against the forceful seizure of territory and undermines the international order that has helped prevent major conflicts since World War II.

News: U.S. House Speaker Demands That Ukraine Fire Ambassador

At the heart of this conflict is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has become the symbol of his country’s resistance. He understands better than anyone the resolve of his people to defend their homeland. His non-stop crusade for military aid is not about prolonging suffering but about ensuring that Ukraine can survive as a free and independent nation. Zelenskyy’s tireless efforts to garner international support underscore the determination of Ukrainians to fight for their freedom. If they are willing to endure, to fight, and to sacrifice, why should anyone else, especially Donald Trump, decide that their fight is no longer worth continuing?

June 6, 2023

The fact that Trump believes he can bypass the will of the Ukrainian people by imposing a top-down peace agreement — one that likely involves Ukraine ceding its own territory — is a stark reminder of how out of touch he is with the reality on the ground. Zelenskyy, more than anyone, represents the people of Ukraine and is in the best position to gauge the country’s desire to keep fighting or negotiate. This is a war for self-determination — something Trump, in his own twisted sense of victimhood, has co-opted for his personal benefit in the U.S. while offering none of the same respect for the Ukrainians defending their homeland.

Trump’s rally cry of “Fight! Fight! Fight!” is about one thing: Donald Trump. Whether he’s invoking the term at political rallies, as in his dramatic “messianic” display in Milwaukee, or during his second impeachment trial after the Capitol insurrection, his use of “fight” is always about his own survival, his own ego, and his desire to galvanize his base. He has perfected the art of turning grievances and victimhood into political currency, using the idea of “fighting” to frame every setback as a personal attack on him.

November 11, 2022

The fact that Trump is even in a position to propose such a plan underscores the surreal political reality we are living in. How can someone who has been criminally indicted, impeached, and accused of undermining American democracy be trusted to decide the fate of another nation? It’s a deeply unsettling thought — one that speaks to the broader crisis of leadership in the U.S. and the erosion of political norms that have allowed Trump to remain a force in American politics despite his repeated failures and transgressions.

The fate of Ukraine should be decided by Ukrainians, not by Trump or any other outside power with a vested interest. Zelenskyy, through his relentless advocacy and leadership, embodies the spirit of the Ukrainian people’s fight for freedom. Trump’s harebrained ideas of handing land over to Russia in exchange for a false peace are not just morally repugnant but strategically disastrous. Ukrainians deserve the right to determine their own future, without interference from a man who has shown time and again that his only real cause is himself.

Canada's hesitant response to the Gaza-Israel conflict signals diminishing influence, urging a need for principled leadership and meaningful diplomacy to regain its historical role in promoting peace.

Canada’s Fading Diplomacy: A Call for Principled Leadership in the Middle East

Trudeau's government is failing to prioritize military commitments, evident in the protracted delay of the NASAMS defence system to Ukraine, raising concerns about national security preparedness.

January 11, 2024

In the ever-intertwined complexities of the Middle East, Canada’s once-prominent role as a mediator and advocate for peace seems to be fading into the shadows. Recent events surrounding the Gaza-Israel conflict highlight not only our government’s indecision but also its waning influence on the international stage. As other nations, notably the USA, UK, and the EU, engage in meaningful shuttle diplomacy to address the horrific toll on innocent lives, Canada appears to be stuck in a quagmire of symbolic gestures and theatrical statements.

The current Trudeau government’s response to the conflict, as highlighted by Robyn Urback in The Globe & Mail, reflects a pattern of indecisiveness and inconsistency. From the redundant and belated sanctions on Hamas leaders to the half-hearted support for a UN resolution lacking a call for Hamas to surrender, Canada’s actions appear more as domestic theatre than a meaningful contribution to resolving the crisis. The prime minister’s seemingly strategic yet vacillating approach raises questions about Canada’s ability to navigate the complexities of the Middle East with credibility and efficacy.

Septemebr 30, 2023

In the face of Canada’s diplomatic shortcomings, the contrasting reactions from leaders like UK Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken underscore the need for a more principled stance. Cameron’s expressed concern over the next phase of Israel’s military operation in Gaza and Blinken’s persistent efforts to broker a ceasefire highlight a commitment to addressing the immediate humanitarian crisis and working towards lasting peace. In comparison, Canada’s seemingly symbolic sanctions and equivocal statements project an image of diplomatic ambiguity.

Opinion: ‘Shrinking’ political, practical capacity stunts Canada’s engagement in the Middle East, say experts

The erosion of Canada’s influence in the Middle East is a far cry from the days of Lester Pearson and the pivotal role played during the 1957 Suez Crisis. Today, as the Gaza-Israel conflict unfolds, we find ourselves relegated to the sidelines, with limited sway over the course of events. The lack of a clear and assertive stance diminishes our capacity to contribute meaningfully to diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing further bloodshed and fostering a sustainable resolution.

February 17, 2023

It is time for Canada to reassess its role in the Middle East and revive the spirit of principled leadership that once defined our diplomatic endeavours. Our government must move beyond symbolic gestures and engage in substantive diplomacy that addresses the root causes of the conflict. This requires a commitment to both immediate humanitarian relief and a steadfast pursuit of long-term peace, even if it means taking a principled position that might face domestic opposition.

Canada’s historical commitment to a two-state solution should not be relegated to mere rhetoric. We must actively work towards this goal and leverage our diplomatic relationships to play a constructive role in the region. It is essential to rebuild our credibility as a serious player on the international stage by engaging with all relevant parties, including those with whom we may disagree.

April 11, 2002

As the Middle East stands on the precipice of a humanitarian catastrophe, Canada must rise above the limitations of past indecision. The time is now for principled leadership and a renewed commitment to our historical legacy of fostering peace and stability in the face of adversity. (AI)

On Remembrance Day, we must honour the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and democracy, while also recognizing the need to speak out against injustice and work towards a peaceful world.

Editorial Cartoon by Graeme MacKay, The Hamilton Spectator – Saturday November 11, 2023

“Remembering Sacrifice: Honouring the Past and Building a Peaceful Future”

May 5, 2000

On Remembrance Day, it is important to reflect on the conflicts currently happening worldwide and hold a strong desire for peace. The men and women we honour on this day understood things that we may not fully comprehend. They enlisted and fought not just for their own countries, but for the ideals of freedom and democracy that we enjoy today. They recognized that totalitarianism and injustice in faraway places threatened the very fabric of society and democratic values that allowed them to live in a free society.

The atrocities committed during the Holocaust and other instances of genocide remind us of the importance of speaking out against injustice. As Eli Wiesel said, “neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.” Silence only encourages the tormentor. It is our responsibility to stand up against any form of violence and oppression, even in the face of conflicts that may seem distant or complex.

June 6, 2019

We must remember that in any conflict, there are victims on all sides. The grief and loss experienced by these victims should not be diminished by knowing who is responsible. It is crucial to recognize and speak out against all forms of violence, even the silent ones that often go unnoticed.

The conflicts in the world today serve as a reminder that peace is not a given. We must actively work towards peace by rejecting leaders and systems that perpetuate violence and oppression. Ordinary people on all sides of a conflict have the power to make a difference by speaking up and standing against injustice.

On this Remembrance Day, let us honour those who sacrificed themselves for the greater good. Let us wear the poppy as a symbol of our commitment to peace and strive to do more for peace each day. We must not glorify war, but rather acknowledge the failure of finding peaceful resolutions to conflicts. Together, let us say and do more for peace, starting today. (AI)
