A Pentagon rift over military aid to “Israel” reveals tensions between advocates of Middle East engagement and those prioritizing Asia, shaping Trump’s foreign policy.

Trump says Iran is weeks from a nuclear weapon, contradicting U.S. intelligence assessments.

Communists in Iran and Israel strongly condemn Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s attack on Iran and President Donald Trump’s backing for it. 

Hundreds of U.S. veterans and allies have been fasting for weeks across the country, in protest against the ongoing war in Gaza.

Israel’s right to self-defense and other tall tales for big children in high office.

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk has condemned Israel’s ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, where relentless attacks continue and humanitarian aid remains severely restricted for over 2 million Palestinians facing starvation.

As the Gaza Freedom Flotilla approached Palestinian waters, a British spy flight took off from a British military base on Cyprus to surveil Gaza. Despite the recent narrative shift on relations with Israel, Britain remains deeply involved in the genocide of Palestinians, its efforts centred around its RAF Akrotiri military base on Cyprus, using it to launch these spy flights, which send intelligence, including targeting data, directly to the Israeli military.

SENDING more RAF jets to the Middle East underlines Britain’s involvement in Israel’s escalating aggression in the region.

IDF troops have raided the Madleen, a sailboat that was carrying aid intended to break the Israeli siege on Gaza.

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has said the Israeli regime kidnapped her and other pro-Palestinian activists in international waters while they were aboard the Gaza-bound Madleen aid ship.

Israel’s own actions since June 1 have proved that Israeli forces do indeed deliberately fire upon starving civilians seeking humanitarian aid. Israel lied. Again.

The world looks on in horror as Israel continues its genocidal assault on the Palestinian people.

Two weeks ago, Ayman Odeh, MP and head of the Parliamentary Group of Hadash (Democratic Front for Peace and Equality), was violently removed from the podium of Knesset for denouncing the genocide in Gaza.

The victims had gathered in hopes of finding food for themselves and their families, following a nearly three-month total Israeli blockade of the territory. At least 31 people were killed; one Palestinian was also killed by Israeli fire the same day at another distribution site in central Gaza.

The letter—addressed to the Association of University Heads in Israel, the Board of Academic Public Colleges, the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, and Academics for Israeli Democracy—is a reaction to the launching of “Operation Gideon’s Chariots”.

Israel is using the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to condense Palestinians into increasingly narrow enclaves, forcing displacement through need. We are witnessing the rise of a new humanitarianism where aid sites double as kill zones.

Irony is dead. It lies buried in Gaza, under the rubble the West helped create.

Glencore, one of the world’s largest mining conglomerates at the confluence of worker exploitation, environmental destruction, and genocide, brought Palestine solidarity activists, trade unionists and mining affected communities together in a unified protest.

We’ve seen multiple reports from doctors documenting Israeli forces actually entering hospitals they’ve attacked and destroying all the individual pieces of medical equipment in those facilities, one by one.
