The movement for Palestine in the U.S. has mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to oppose the U.S. policy of unshakable support for Israel. Last Saturday, 100,000 surrounded the White House as part of the “people’s red line” against genocide.

The operation saw the mass killing of over 200 Palestinians, with health officials describing the inside of Al-Aqsa Hospital as a ‘slaughterhouse’

If the people were actually in charge, there would be some option available to them to end the worst thing happening in the world right now. But the people are not in charge. When it comes to matters of the most importance, they never get a vote.

The Venezuelan government also condemned Israel’s latest assault on Gaza following Monday’s invasion of Rafah.

“Israel’s fascist government is on the verge of bringing about a humanitarian disaster in Rafah,” Hadash and Communist Party of Israel (CPI) says in a common statement on Monday, May 6.

Echoing President Biden, Netanyahu labeled the demonstrations ‘antisemitic’.

As Israel prepares for a ground invasion of Rafah, the U.S.-authored resolution presented to the UN Security Council merely noted an “imperative” for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Algeria, Russia, and China rejected the resolution, stating that it had failed to deliver on the core demand for a ceasefire.

Israel is unlikely to stop its assault on Gaza without massive pressure, and the reasons are rooted in the history of Zionism, argues Chris Bambery.

While denouncing Israel’s actions in Gaza as a ‘genocide’ and ‘inhumane,’ Erdogan is stealthily supplying Israel and its military forces with all the necessary goods to keep on ticking.

Have they considered digging a giant tunnel to get aid into Gaza as well? Or launching aid into Gaza by building a giant slingshot? Or perhaps they could invent some type of portal gun à la Rick and Morty?

People across the world have highlighted the bravery and sacrifice of the U.S. active duty soldier who was protesting the genocide in Gaza.

All of this–the language of genocide, the genocide itself and the threats of committing a greater genocide–is rooted, not in a rational political theory, but in Zionism.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva recalled his ambassador to Israel, Federico Mayer, after the Zionist State declared the Brazilian president persona non grata for comparing the Israeli genocide in Gaza to the Nazi-led holocaust during the African Union summit held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Apologists for Israel’s brutality against Palestinians in Gaza are continuing to use the past persecution of Jews to neutralise criticism of Israel.

The Biden administration colluded with Israel to slander the United Nations Relief Works Agency for Palestine in anticipation of the ICJ ruling against Israel on the charge of genocide. Washington is attempting to cover up genocide by committing the war crime of collective punishment against the people of Gaza.

On 12 January, the day commemorating the 1904 revolt of the Herero people against German colonialism, Olaf Scholz’s government announced that it would intervene in the International Court of Justice to oppose South Africa’s charge of genocide against Israel.

On December 6, it was announced with much fanfare that the 10/7 Project, a new “centralized communications operation to promote continued U.S. bipartisan support for Israel; push for accurate, complete coverage of the Israel-Hamas war,” and achieve a “stronger” media “focus” on the victims of October 7’s Al-Aqsa Flood would be launched, by a quintet […]

The outcome of U.S.-led conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia will have a profound impact on the developing world order. Washington has already lost the former, and its major adversaries are vested in making sure it loses the latter too.
