The mass-killing of students at #TrisaktiUniversity proved too great a scandal for the dictatorship of #Suharto to survive and he resigned on #ThisDayInHistory in 1998. He had ruled the country since 1966, with US backing for his #democide of socialists & #genocide in #EastTimor.

Today in Labor History March 12, 1967: Suharto took power from Sukarno in Indonesia. He ruled Indonesia as an authoritarian, kleptocratic dictator for 31 years, and is widely considered one of the most brutal and corrupt dictators of the 20th century. During that time, he amassed a fortune worth $38 billion. Suharto rose to power under Sukarno during the 1965-1966 genocide. During that ostensibly anti-Communist purge, Suharto’s troops murdered 1-3 million communists, labor activists, peasants and ethnic minorities. During that genocide, he received support military and economic from both the U.S. and the U.K. In 1974, the Suharto regime, with approval of U.S. president Gerald Ford, invaded East Timor, killing over 200,000 Timorese. Another 75,000-200,000 died from starvation and disease. The current Indonesian government is considering awarding him the posthumous honor of National Hero.

"Since the atrocities of October 7, 2023, a number of American and Israeli negotiators — among them Robert Malley and Daniel Levy — have spoken openly about how deeply flawed and performative past peace efforts have been. Behind closed doors, they acknowledge what was long known: that the so-called “peace process” was never designed to deliver a Palestinian state."

Timor-Leste and the Future of Palestine: Lessons in Freedom and the Failure of Power

“We will continue to kill the idea of a Palestinian state.” With those words, Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich abandoned any remaining pretense. What he announced on February 10, 2026, was not merely another policy adjustment, but a deliberate escalation, one that is designed to make it even easier for Jewish settlers to dispossess Palestinians of their land, permanently and irreversibly. Smotrich’s declaration reads less like public policy than a declaration of war on political reality itself.

“It is white people supporting white people being attacked. But then they are silent on Israel as it bulldozes the whole of Palestine; carpet bombing, killing tens of thousands of civilians.”
