In a symbolic joining of older and contemporary struggles against apartheid, Francesca Albanese delivered the Nelson Mandela lecture this autumn. Did her address manage to bury the fiction of the ‘liberal world order’ once and for all?

US president Donald Trump rumbles fatuously on as his phony “peace” plan for Gaza unravels, the US/NATO war against Russia sinks ever deeper in the mud of Ukraine, and his bunker-buster blow failed to put a dent in Iran’s nuclear program. In the United States he has sent federal agents in military gear to grab […]

During last year’s harvest period, while international attention was largely focused on Gaza, more than 1,400 settler attacks were documented in the West Bank. Especially notorious are the so-called “Hilltop Youth”—far-right hooligan settlers that have repeatedly attacked Palestinians, destroying homes and uprooting trees.

The genocide in Gaza, the threat to Venezuela, and the targeting of Iran are not isolated crises. They are coordinated fronts in a single war effort attempting to enforce imperial dominance.

MintPress has detailed the deep collaboration between the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Amazon, Google, TikTok, Apple, Palantir, and Oracle, but Microsoft’s relationship with the government and armed forces of Israel is potentially the closest, leading then-CEO Steve Ballmer to state that “Microsoft is as much an Israeli company as an American company.”

Outcry grows as footage filmed by American journalist Jasper Nathaniel goes viral, revealing messages between him and U.S. embassy in Israel.

Forensic examination of 120 Palestinian bodies show ‘clear evidence’ of torture and possible organ theft.

In not quite one year since the ceasefire deal in Lebanon, Israel has broken the ceasefire 4,600 times. It has killed hundreds of people, including infants, demolished tens of thousands of homes and annexed five areas of Lebanon. It was supposed to withdraw completely.

The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas brokered by Donald Trump has come into effect.

Calls to “deradicalize” Palestinians ignore Israel’s embrace of fascism.

It makes a difference in driving the greater intensity of political, diplomatic, and civic pressures to have a count of 600,000 rather than 67,000 or 200,000 children rather than 20,000 children murdered.

In refusing to bow to the applause of killers, Odeh and Cassif embody what it means to act with conscience in a place built on coercion and military might.

The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas includes halting military actions, an Israeli withdrawal, increased humanitarian aid, and a prisoner swap. But it doesn’t guarantee an end to the war or that Israel won’t resume the genocide.

Everything before October 7 explains why October 7 happened, and so does everything that’s happened since.

The Lancet paper concludes with a stark warning: future generations will judge whether the global medical community stood up to defend life or chose to look away.

On October 8, 2023, the Israeli war machine, armed and financed by Washington, launched the first genocide in history to be broadcast live before the eyes of the world. As we enter October 2025, the second year of this open genocide, neighborhoods in Gaza continue to be leveled, hospitals bombed, and children condemned to death […]

The communist movement in Palestine and Israel is as old as the twentieth century upheavals that reshaped the Middle East.

UNRWA and the ICRC warn of catastrophic conditions in Gaza, where over 100 Palestinians are killed daily alongside famine deaths, as Israel’s assault pushes the death toll past 66,000.

More important than anything else, we must insist that as long as Zionism ideologically dominates the reality in historical Palestine, there will be no Palestinian self-determination, freedom, or liberation.

With full western backing, Tel Aviv is entrenching a one-state apartheid system and extinguishing any prospect of Palestinian sovereignty.
