ISRAEL’s genocide in Gaza and the 12-day war between Israel and Iran saw Israel destroying all universities in Gaza and assassinating top scientists of Iran. Not a tear or word of condemnation from the U.S. and European powers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Prime minister says Israel has photographs of thousands of unclothed prisoners, an ‘indication’ of sufficient food, as experts warn of looming famine.

The Government Media Office of Hamas, which technically rules Gaza, said today 77 per cent of the Strip’s territory was now under direct Israeli occupation, and called on the UN to act to stop “continued genocide, ethnic cleansing, colonialism, aggression” and what it termed the “final solution” Israel is trying to impose on Gaza by force.

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) expressed alarm on Monday over the increasing risk of famine in the Gaza Strip, where “two million people are starving,” according to him.

They have opted for their slow-motion strangulation approach because that’s what’s necessary to maintain essential western support and avoid war crimes tribunals.

Since the earliest days of the post–October 7 U.S./Israeli genocide in Gaza, corporate media outlets have claimed that Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields.

Israel is targeting Palestinians’ slim means of accessing food, bombing two makeshift kitchens and UNRWA’s distribution center in Jabalia in the past few days.

Let us forget for a moment the fact that the very existence of Israel is an instance of ruthless settler colonialism that has displaced millions of Palestinians and taken over their land.

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.

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.

It’s significant that Jagmeet Singh raised Israel’s genocide at both leaders’ debates.

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.

The only functioning hospital in Gaza City has been forced out of service after an Israeli airstrike destroyed key medical departments.
