Chris Hedges: Gaza’s Hunger Games

June 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Educate! Famine, Gaza, Human Rights, Israel, Israeli war crimes, Palestine, Starvation

Israel’s weaponization of starvation is how genocides always end. I covered the insidious effects of orchestrated starvation in the Guatemalan Highlands during the genocidal campaign of Gen. Efraín Ríos Montt, the famine in southern Sudan that left a quarter of a million dead — I walked past the frail and skeletal corpses of families lining roadsides — and later during the war in Bosnia when Serbs cut off food supplies to enclaves such as Srebrencia and Goražde. Starvation was weaponized by the Ottoman Empire to decimate the Armenians. It was used to kill millions of Ukrainians in the Holodomor in 1932 and 1933.

Key Nuclear Allegation That Started War On Iran Was Coaxed From Palantir

The sudden claim of Iran being very close to a bomb (that seemingly jumped out of ‘nowhere’ to leave Americans puzzling how could it happen that – in the blink of eye, we are going to war – was subsequently refuted by IAEA Chief Grossi to CNN on 17 June (but only after the abrupt attack on Iran already had taken place): “We did not have any evidence of a systematic effort [by Iran] to move to a nuclear weapon”, Grossi confirmed on CNN. This statement drew the following riposte from Iran by its Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei on 19 June: “This is too late, Mr. Grossi – you obscured this truth in your absolutely biased report that was instrumentalized by E3/U.S. to craft a resolution with baseless allegation of [Iranian] ‘non-compliance’; the same resolution was then utilized, as a final pretext, by a genocidal warmongering regime to wage a war of aggression on Iran and to launch an unlawful attack on our peaceful nuclear facilities.

Court Ruling Raises Serious Questions Over Government Accountability

Judgment in Al-Haq’s historic long-running claim against the U.K. government for its continued licensing of F-35 parts into the global supply reaching Israel. The Court has not upheld Al-Haq’s claim. Today, the UK High Court delivered judgment in Al-Haq’s claim against the U.K. government for its continued licensing of F-35 parts into the global supply chain. The court stated that it could not find any legal flaws in the government’s decision-making and that certain parts of the challenge were non-justiciable, meaning that they are not matters for the Courts. Leaving the question, who is the UK government accountable to in matters of international law?

As Europe’s summer music festival season rolls out, mainstream media and governments are struggling to keep Palestine solidarity off the stage. In its coverage of Glastonbury Festival, the BBC focused on censoring the Irish rap group Kneecap over their staunch pro-Palestinian stance – only to be met by a wave of artists who used their platform to call for a free Palestine and to demand broadcasters share real news about the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Among them was the British duo Bob Vylan, who led the crowd in chanting “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF,” denouncing war crimes committed by the Israeli army, including the starvation of children and the killing of civilians in humanitarian aid lines.

The High Court has granted an urgent hearing for Palestine Action’s legal challenge to threatened proscription. In a hearing which concluded on the morning of Monday 30 June at the Royal Courts of Justice, Mr Justice Chamberlain granted the application for an urgent hearing and set the date for Friday 4 July at 10:30am to consider permission for a judicial review of the Home Secretary’s decision to make an order to add direct action group Palestine Action to the list of proscribed organisations under Schedule 2 of the Terrorism Act 2000, alongside ISIS and Al Qaeda.

50,000 Died In Nicaragua’s Struggle Against Dictatorship; Sócrates Was One Of The Last

June 30, 2025 John Perry and Dan Kovalik, Popular Resistance. Educate! History, Nicaragua, Sandinista Revolution

Nicaraguans will fill the streets later this month to celebrate the 46th anniversary of the Sandinista revolution. On July 19, 1979, the Somoza dictatorship finally fell, ending 18 years of guerilla fighting and urban insurrections. The regime had been supported for 43 years by successive US administrations (the history is told in Nicaragua: A History of US Intervention & Resistance). Only three weeks before, over the two days June 27-28, Sandinista forces had been forced to leave the capital, Managua, where the working-class barrios that they controlled in the east of the city came under aerial bombardment. Under cover of darkness, an enormous, silent retreat took place.

Environmental And Indigenous Groups Mobilize To Stop ‘Alligator Alcatraz’

As Florida's Republican government moves to construct a sprawling new immigration detention center in the heart of the Everglades, nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz," environmental groups and a wide range of other activists have begun to mobilize against it. Florida's Republican attorney general, James Uthmeier, announced last week that construction of the jail, at the site of a disused airbase in the Big Cypress National Preserve, had begun. According to Fox 4 Now, an affiliate in Southwest Florida, construction has moved at "a blistering pace," with the site expected to be done by next week.

Climate Activists Protest At Headquarters Of Global Ad Giant WPP

Climate campaigners turned out on Wednesday in London to occupy the lobby of UK-based communications giant WPP, demanding that the company stop working for the fossil fuel industry. As demonstrators inside staged a “die-in” — wrapping themselves in shrouds emblazoned with logos of Shell, BP, and other WPP clients — a grim reaper figure in front of the building climbed atop a mock-up of an oil rig and set off a plume of black–coloured smoke. Protesters also unfurled a 15-metre banner in front of the building which declared “WPP are climate criminals, ban fossil fuel advertising”.

EPA Employees Send ‘Declaration Of Dissent’ Over Policies Under Trump

A group of Environmental Protection Agency employees on Monday published a declaration of dissent from the agency’s policies under the Trump administration, saying they “undermine the EPA mission of protecting human health and the environment.” More than 170 EPA employees put their names to the document, with about 100 more signing anonymously out of fear of retaliation, according to Jeremy Berg, a former editor-in-chief of Science magazine who is not an EPA employee but was among non-EPA scientists or academics to also sign. The latter figure includes 20 Nobel laureates.

Bee Hotels Can Help Native Pollinators Recover In The Wake Of Wildfires

June 30, 2025 Cristen Hemingway Jaynes, EcoWatch. Create! Bees, climate crisis, Pollinators, Wildfires

Wild pollinator populations are declining all over the world, with increasingly severe climate change-fueled wildfires threatening their survival. These intense wildfires are also putting long-term ecosystem health and biodiversity at risk. Bee hotels are artificial nesting structures that have been specially designed to house cavity-nesting species. Often placed in backyards or gardens, they provide safe havens and nurseries for essential pollinators. New research led by conservationist Dr. Kit Prendergast, a native bee scientist with University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ), has found that bee hotels can play an essential role in helping native bee populations recover from wildfires.

US Policy On Sudan Hurts Civilians Rather Than Warring Factions

June 29, 2025 Zeina Mohammed and Ragad Babiker, Scheer Post. Educate! Africa, Sudan, Trump Administration, Wars and Militarism

As the war in Sudan enters its third year, experts, activists, and other community members say recent U.S. foreign policy is hurting, not helping, civilians. This month, the Trump administration banned Sudanese nationals, in addition to 11 other nationalities, from entering the U.S., a couple of weeks after the administration imposed sanctions on the country, claiming the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) used chemical weapons in their fight with Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Both moves, experts say, have drastically reduced resources and mobility for civilians at the center of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis more than they hinder the competing armed forces. As of this April, nearly 13 million people have been displaced, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency.

What Comes Next Following The US-Israeli War On Iran?

June 29, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. Educate! Iran, Israel, United States, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

The fighting between Israel and Iran, sparked by an illegal and entirely unprovoked attack by Israel, has abated for the moment. After the United States did what Israeli Prime Minister hoped it would do and bombed Iran’s underground nuclear facilities, including the one at Fordow with bunker buster weapons, U.S. President Donald Trump told Israel to stop its attacks and reinforced that order when Israel sent dozens of bombers toward Iran shortly after the ceasefire was enacted, claiming a response to two Iranian missiles. The entire battle, fought on the basis of a fictional threat of Iran being close to acquiring a nuclear weapon, demonstrated how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can manipulate intelligence, politics, and ignorance in the U.S. to provoke American action.

Iran’s Army Chief Expresses ‘Serious Doubts’ Israel Will Adhere To Ceasefire

June 29, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Ceasefire, Iran, Israel, Wars and Militarism

The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, expressed on 29 June his “doubt” that Israel will adhere to the ceasefire with Iran, indicating Tehran’s preparedness to respond to any violation. The comments came during a phone call with Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman. "We have serious doubts about the continuation of the ceasefire and are prepared to respond to any aggression,” Mousavi was quoted as telling the Saudi war chief. "Israel and the United States have proven their lack of commitment to any international rules and norms,” he went on to say. "We did not initiate the war, but we responded to the aggressor with all our might and are prepared to deliver a decisive response in the event of repeated attacks."

How Structural Racism Fuels America’s Endless Wars

June 29, 2025 Sharon Kyle, LA Progressive. Educate! Class Struggle, Economic draft, History, Structural Racism, US military, Wars and Militarism

From the very inception of the United States, a privileged elite has engineered laws, institutions, and cultural narratives to preserve its dominance—initially through racialized land seizures and redistribution, the brutal system of chattel slavery, and exclusionary immigration policies; later through Jim Crow segregation; and today through more insidious mechanisms like militarized borders, discriminatory policing, mass incarceration, exploitative labor practices, and the weaponization of poverty. At the core lies structural white supremacy—an evolving, interlocking system of racial and class oppression that resists democracy, adapts with time, and refuses to cede power.
