Microsoft Faces Reckoning For Assisting Israel’s Genocide In Gaza

December 4, 2025 Mike Ludwig, Truthout. , , , ,
Ahead of its annual shareholders meeting on December 5, Microsoft is coming under mounting pressure to reconsider its relationship with the Israeli military, which has used the tech giant’s products to carry out the genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank. In an open letter to the company released on Tuesday, December 2, an international coalition of legal aid groups said Microsoft and its executives potentially face legal liability for “aiding and abetting … atrocity crimes” committed by the Israeli military against Palestinian civilians. “Over the last few months, it has become exceedingly clear that Microsoft’s services and technologies have been used to violate Palestinian human rights, and shareholders should be aware of just how much this opens up the company to legal liability,” said Eric Sype, U.S. national organizer at 7amleh–The Arab Center for Social Media Advancement, in a statement on December 2.

Inside Coca-Cola’s Multi-Billion Dollar Theft Of Trade Secrets

December 4, 2025 Ray Rogers, Work-Bites. , , ,
Since 2004, as part of the Campaign to Stop Killer Coke, I have attended Coca-Cola’s annual meetings of shareholders to confront The Coca-Cola Company’s chief executives and board members over the company's involvement in horrific human rights abuses and other criminal behavior. These meetings often became confrontational and tense. I was violently attacked from behind while standing at the microphone raising issues of Coca-Cola’s complicity in deadly human rights abuses perpetrated against union leaders in Colombia. The assailants turned out to be Wilmington, Delaware police dressed in plain clothes moonlighting as Coca-Cola security.

Campaigners Disrupt Oil Executive Awards Dinner In London

December 4, 2025 The Canary. , , ,
To highlight damage caused by the oil and gas industry, campaigners from Fossil Free London interrupted the World Energy Council Assembly’s dinner at the Hilton in Mayfair on 3 December. Oil and gas executives had gathered to present and receive industry “achievement awards”. Award nominees and attendees included Shell, BP, and Ithaca Energy. Campaigners chanted “no awards for climate criminals”, as they were dragged out of the building by security. The protest comes after devastating flooding has killed at least 1,250 people across much of southeast Asia in recent days.

Hundreds Of Western Artists Demand Freedom For Marwan Barghouti

December 3, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Over two hundred prominent cultural figures have joined a global campaign advocating for the release of Palestinian political prisoner Marwan Barghouti, widely regarded as a unifying figure capable of reigniting a viable path to Palestinian statehood. Writers Margaret Atwood, Philip Pullman, Zadie Smith, and Annie Ernaux joined actors Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, and Mark Ruffalo, along with public figures such as Gary Lineker and Richard Branson, in signing an open letter urging Barghouti’s freedom. The statement expresses “grave concern at the continuing imprisonment of Marwan Barghouti, his violent mistreatment and denial of legal rights whilst imprisoned,” and calls on governments and the UN to actively work for his release.

CARICOM Nations Must Defy Trump’s Illegal No-Fly Zone

December 3, 2025 By Organization for the Victory of the People, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP) condemns Donald Trump’s latest moves in his war games off the coast of Venezuela. First, he declared the CIA created “Cartel de los Soles” a terrorist organization and the greatest terrorist threat to the world”, and second, he illegally and unilaterally declared the airspace over Venezuela closed. He has no authority to do this, and in the absence of any institution capable of enforcing international war, we call on CARICOM and countries across the Caribbean, Central and South America to break this no-fly zone immediately.

Worldwide Solidarity For Indigenous Liberation

December 3, 2025 Will Hodgkinson, Workers World. , , ,
Plymouth, Massachusetts - Over 3,000 protesters occupied Cole’s Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Nov. 27 to observe the 56th National Day of Mourning (NDOM). As Mahtowin Munro (Oglala Lakota), co-leader of United American Indians of New England (UAINE) described, this year’s Day of Mourning action triumphed despite reactionary attempts at sabotage. In a flagrant violation of the agreement it made with UAINE in 1998 — after police beat, gassed and falsely arrested 25 UAINE leaders and supporters in 1997 — the Town of Plymouth refused to allow UAINE to provide a stage on Cole’s Hill unless UAINE took out extortionate insurance policies.

On the first of December, the Israeli occupation forces raided the offices of La Via Campesina’s member organization in Ramallah and Hebron. Military units have sealed off the entire area, blocking all roads leading to the offices and preventing any movement toward the sites. The forces have detained our members inside the buildings, subjecting them to harsh and humiliating treatment, while conducting violent searches throughout the premises. Several of the members have been arrested and are now detained. The raid included the destruction and confiscation of all office contents, including computers, hard drives, administrative files, financial documents, and logistical equipment.

The Palestine solidarity movement in Europe again brought record numbers to the streets on the UN’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, November 29, reaffirming demands for an end to government complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the occupation of Palestine. Hundreds of thousands marched across the region, with demonstrations in London and Rome each reaching an estimated 100,000 participants. “On this day, people around the world express their support for the inalienable rights that are currently denied to Palestinians: the right to live free from discrimination, the right to self-determination, and the right to return to their lands,” the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) wrote on social media.

December 2, 2025 Sondos Asem, Middle East Eye. , , ,
International Criminal Court (ICC) officials on Monday said the court is implementing countermeasures to protect the court from US sanctions, but they will remain confidential to ensure their effectiveness. The officials spoke in The Hague on the first day of the annual meeting of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), which is made up of representatives from 125 countries that have ratified the ICC's founding Rome Statute. The gathering is taking place at a time of unprecedented threats to the court, prompted mostly by its investigation into Israeli officials over alleged war crimes in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories.

December 2, 2025 Peter Fousek and Cameron Harrison, People's World. , , ,
The struggle over who controls the roof over a worker’s head erupted into open confrontation on the steps of New Haven City Hall last Thursday, as a newly formed public tenants union at Sunset Ridge Apartments faced down a landlord-backed “counter-demonstration.” The response by the landlord, Capital Reality, which included counter-protestors, police presence, and a union-busting law firm, highlights the growing battle between private equity and working-class renters in a national tenant organizing drive.

Iran Reiterates Demand For US Accountability For Role In Israeli Aggression

December 1, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, on Thursday November 27, wrote a letter to the UN Security Council announcing Iran’s intentions to seek US accountability for its role in Israeli aggression on Iran in June this year. “The Islamic Republic of Iran once again reiterates its call on the UN Secretary General and the Security Council to take appropriate measures, consistent with their responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, to ensure accountability of both the US and the Israeli regime for” their grave violations of international laws, the letter reportedly says.

The Ontario Federation Of Labour Adopts ‘Hot Cargo’ Resolution

November 30, 2025 Gabriela Calugay-Casuga, Rabble. , , , , , , ,
The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) became the fourth Canadian labour federation to adopt a hot cargo resolution against Israeli goods last week. The resolution has the OFL declare trade relationships and services with Israel to be “hot cargo” that workers will not touch. “Hot cargo” is used to define goods that workers will not handle due to its association with exploitation or oppression. The New Brunswick Federation of Labour was the first to adopt a resolution supporting the boycott of Israel when it passed a resolution against handling weapons bound for Israel in May. Since then, three other provincial federations of labour have taken similar actions in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario.

The Red Cup Rebellion Expands

November 30, 2025 Starbucks Workers United. , , ,
More union Starbucks baristas are on ULP strike Friday, joining what has become the longest unfair labor practice (ULP) strike in Starbucks history. With the addition of hundreds of new union baristas from 26 new stores across nearly 20 new cities joining the picket lines, 2,500 baristas from 120+ stores across 85 cities are now engaged in the open-ended ULP strike that began on Red Cup Day, November 13 and expanded on November 20, to protest Starbucks’ historic union busting and failure to finalize a fair union contract.  “We’re joining the Red Cup Rebellion to fight for a better future at Starbucks that we all know is possible,” said Hailie Muro.

Italy Holds Third General Strike In Three Months

November 30, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
Italy is on general strike for the third time in less than three months, following a call by the grassroots union Unione Sindacale di Base (USB). Pickets, industrial actions, and demonstrations were organized in over 40 cities, with massive rallies demanding an end to rearmament plans and the war budget shaped by Giorgia Meloni’s government. On Friday, workers stressed that their mobilization is tied both to worsening material conditions at home and to international events, specifically the struggle of the Palestinian people – whose fate, they insist, is inseparable from Europe’s expanding war economy.
