Gaza has exposed the West’s ‘human rights’ as a colonial farce. Now, the world is experiencing a descent into imperial barbarism, and only collective resistance can build a future beyond fascism.

On April 17, U.S. airstrikes on Yemen killed 74 people and injured 171 in a dangerous escalation of U.S. President Donald Trump’s war against the poorest country in the Middle East.

Pope Francis telephoned a church in Gaza nearly every night since October 2023. But the New York Times didn’t include that fact in its obituary.

UNRWA warned that the humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly, describing it as likely the worst it has been since the outbreak of the brutal Israeli military campaign in October 2023.

The Israeli government, backed by the Trump administration, is laying the groundwork for the full expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, a move that has the potential to ignite a regional conflagration.

Following an overwhelming membership vote in favor of a resolution opposing scholasticide in Gaza the Council of the American Historical Association, in a blatantly undemocratic act, vetoed the decision. The Council’s cowardly actions are complicit in a pattern on institutional silence (and worse) within the U.S. academy in the face of the U.S. backed genocide by Israel. Daniel Johnson reports on the events and plans to challenge this decision

Imagine a group of a dozen armed men storming your village at nightfall. They assault you and your neighbours, throw stones at your house, beat you. If you try to defend yourself, or document the violence, they attack you. When the military arrives, they detain you. Some of them join in with the violence.
