Israeli military preparing to expel Gaza City residents as baby in tent among those killed in latest attacks

NB: The US-UK-Israel Axis is a sinkhole of murder and depravity. They will never recover any moral status whatsoever, not in this century nor the coming ones. Infamy is forever. May God protect the Palestinian people, whom humanity has abandoned. I salute those in the Western world who are resisting the criminal actions of their… Read More Israeli military preparing to expel Gaza City residents as baby in tent among those killed in latest attacks

Israel is wiping out Gaza’s journalists – and it’s no longer even hiding it

Hanno Hauenstein: German media helped pave the way for Israel’s murder of journalists The laws of war are clear: journalists are civilians. To target them deliberately is a war crime Jodie Ginsberg Israel always boasted that it was the only country in the region to support press freedom. That boast rang hollow even before the current war. Now, it’s… Read More Israel is wiping out Gaza’s journalists – and it’s no longer even hiding it

My sweet friend Awdah Hathaleen was murdered by a West Bank settler. May his memory be a revolution

A Palestinian activist, he helped his community resist Israel’s attempts to erase it. On Thursday, they buried him. Emily Glick I got the news last Monday afternoon: a text from Ali, a fellow activist, that simply read: “Awdah </3, Allah y’rahmo” – an Arabic blessing for the dead. I pulled over on the highway, jaw… Read More My sweet friend Awdah Hathaleen was murdered by a West Bank settler. May his memory be a revolution

When will we finally admit: the Gaza death toll is higher than we’ve been told

How many people have been killed by Israel in Gaza since 7 October 2023? Arwa Mahdawi It’s an almost impossible question to answer but, as the likes of the New York Times publish atrocity-minimizing op-eds that argue Israel hasn’t killed all that many people really – certainly not as many people as it could kill if it wanted to… Read More When will we finally admit: the Gaza death toll is higher than we’ve been told

Guilty silence

The IDF-induced famine in Gaza became a Live Aid moment; weirdly, starvation depoliticised the genocide, bleaching it into a humanitarian cause that writers could get behind Mukul Kesavan Why have Western writers and public intellectuals been so feeble and belated in their response to Israel’s genocide in Gaza? The general public can be forgiven for… Read More Guilty silence

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. It couldn’t have done it without the west’s help

NB: The Western rulers are complicit in mass murder. They are also unashamed racists – some lives are more worthy of dignity than others. We all know this and they know it too – they hurl their impunity in our faces. Had there been any justice in the world they would have been tried for… Read More Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. It couldn’t have done it without the west’s help

Netanyahu’s Forever War in Gaza Is Crushing Israel’s Soldiers and Their Families

An overwhelming majority of Israelis support ending the Gaza war in return for the release of all the hostages, but Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners would rather sacrifice Israeli soldiers on the altar of endless war Amir Tibon On Monday afternoon, while driving my car through the streets of Tel Aviv, I happened to turn on… Read More Netanyahu’s Forever War in Gaza Is Crushing Israel’s Soldiers and Their Families
