Germany: Imprisoned ‘Palestine Action’ Activists Face Harassment

December 29, 2025 Leon Wystrychowski, Middle East Monitor. Resist! Elbit, Germany, Palestine, Palestine Action, State Repression, Ulm 5

For years, Palestine activists in Germany have looked to Britain with a sense of astonishment. The state that promised Palestine to Zionist settler colonialism in the 1917 Balfour Declaration is scarcely less pro-Israel than the Federal Republic of Germany, with its so-called Staatsräson (‘reason of state‘) that proclaims unconditional solidarity with Israel – albeit without ever having been codified into law. And yet, solidarity in Britain appears – at least from this vantage point – to be more vibrant, broader, and above all more effective.

Eastern Europe: Resistance Grows To Militarism, Israeli Arms Production

As Western European elites scramble to maintain influence amid waning backing from the Trump administration and growing domestic opposition to pro-militarization, anti-people policies, countries in Eastern Europe are faced with a different set of dynamics. Starting from distinct political and economic conditions, movements across the region are organizing against expected cuts and deepening ties with Israel’s genocidal regime, while also pushing back against local elites seeking to profit from the EU’s expanding armament agenda. Peoples Dispatch spoke with Oana Uiorean and Vlad Mureşan of the Elbit OUT! campaign in Romania about the specific challenges facing left movements in the region and efforts to build strong Palestine solidarity campaigns in Eastern Europe.

The leader of Yemen’s Ansarallah resistance movement, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, warned in a speech on 28 December that any potential Israeli presence in Somaliland will be considered a “military target” for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF). The speech came as several African, Arab, and Muslim states condemned Israel’s decision last week to recognize the sovereignty of the separatist Republic of Somaliland, which Somalia views as one of its federal states. Israel’s recognition of Somaliland is “a hostile stance targeting Somalia and its African surroundings, as well as Yemen and the Red Sea and the countries on its shores,” Houthi said on Sunday.

Syrian citizens of the Alawite minority sect took to the streets on 28 December to protest against government violence and sectarian persecution, in line with a call made by the community’s religious leader a day earlier. Members of the minority sect protested in the Alawite neighborhoods of the central governorate of Homs, and in several towns and cities on the country’s coast, including Tartous, Jableh, and Latakia. Protests also erupted in Hama governorate, including in the city of Masyaf. Alawite Syrians held up banners reading “Federalism is the solution” and “the blood of Alawites is not cheap,” among other slogans.

Prisoners for Palestine have announced that hunger striker T Hoxha has lost the ability to stand. Hunger striker Heba Muraisi, meanwhile, is losing the ability to speak. The hunger strikers have endured 18 months in prison without trial. As a consequence of this and other instances of alleged mistreatment, they recently launched legal action against justice secretary David Lammy. Notably, these activists were imprisoned before the government proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.

The Venezuelan government stated that the recent report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) constitutes a resounding legal and political condemnation of the armed blockade imposed by the United States. The report demonstrates that this policy gravely violates international law and the Charter of the United Nations. On Wednesday, December 24, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil highlighted that the statement by independent UN experts confirms what Venezuela has been stating for years: that Washington is carrying out a colonial-style strategy of threats, force, and plunder against the nation.

In 2025, Educators Didn’t Just Endure Repression; They Built Resistance

December 28, 2025 Jesse Hagopian, Truthout. Resist! Education, Organizing, Repression, Resistance, Worker Rights and Jobs

On a humid June afternoon, I arrived at Florida International University expecting to give what I thought would be a standard talk on my new book, Teach Truth, about the escalating assault on antiracist education. But when historian and freedom fighter Dr. Marvin Dunn took me to the campus, he made clear this would be no ordinary event. “This is Florida,” he said. “They banned saying ‘systemic racism’ in the classroom.” I knew this was true in theory. But when he locked eyes with me and I saw the turmoil beneath his composure, it became profoundly real.

Exactly one year after Israeli forces kidnapped Kamal Adwan Hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, relatives and health officials renewed demands for his release on 27 December, citing his deteriorating health. The anniversary prompted statements from Gaza authorities and international rights groups calling for disclosure of his fate and an end to his arbitrary detention. Occupation forces took Dr. Abu Safia on 27 December 2024 during a military raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia. At the time, the hospital was the last operational medical center serving northern Gaza. Witness accounts said he was detained while actively carrying out his medical duties.

The Institute of Political Economy (IPE), Sri Lanka and the UK-based Debt Justice issued a joint statement demanding the International Monetary Fund (IMF) suspend Sri Lanka’s debt repayment to help it tackle its prolonged economic crisis compounded by Cyclone Ditwah.

No To The Re-Militarization Of Puerto Rico

We are now on the threshold of a new year, and for the Puerto Rican people, it means a renewal of our struggle for independence and sovereignty. With renewed vigor, we may resume the battle against the militarization of our archipelago. In 2003, we were able to expel the most powerful naval force in the world, the U.S. Navy, after four years of relentless struggle. The entire population, regardless of political beliefs, bravely united, facing beatings and arrests at the hands of U.S. security forces. The people were determined to close the bases that stored deadly weapons and from which the Navy bombed the pristine beaches of our small island of Vieques, sowing pain, disease, and death among its inhabitants.

Nurses At 12 New York City Hospitals Vote To Authorize A Strike

The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA)voted overwhelmingly on Monday to authorize a strike for 20,000 nurses in NYC — a move made just two weeks before their contract expires. The nurses, all from private hospitals throughout the five boroughs, cited staffing issues, safety concerns, fair wages and other reasons for considering a strike. The union’s vote on Dec. 22 now gives its bargaining committees the authority to call a strike if a contract that protects safe patient care is not settled by the end of the year.

Shinnecock Nation Fights New York State Over Signs And Sovereignty

The Shinnecock Indian Nation’s battle to keep its two electronic signs operational will move to federal court next Tuesday, December 30, 2025. The tribal nation, located about 90 miles east of Manhattan at the gateway to the Hamptons on Long Island, is a federally recognized tribe in an area known for estates owned by the wealthy and famous. At issue is a New York state court ruling earlier this year that found the tribe did not have the right to construct and operate the billboards and ordered them shut down. Last month, the judge in the case said the company that operates the billboards and sells advertising on them was in contempt of court and again demanded that the signs be shut down.

Algeria’s parliament unanimously passed legislation on 24 December declaring France’s colonization of Algeria a crime, stating that “full and fair compensation for all material and moral damages” is an inalienable right of the Algerian state and people. The law was adopted by Algeria’s lower house in Algiers, with lawmakers voting in favor of a bill explicitly assigning France “legal responsibility for its colonial past in Algeria and the tragedies it caused.” The vote took place on Wednesday inside the Algerian parliament, with MPs marking the moment by standing in the chamber wearing national colors, chanting “long live Algeria,” and singing the national anthem before and after the vote.

Tuesday, during an emergency United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting, Venezuela condemned what it called the “confession of a crime of aggression” by the United States. Ambassador Samuel Moncada detailed US crimes in region, including a declared naval blockade of Venezuela, the theft of four million barrels of Venezuelan oil, and electronic warfare in Venezuelan airspace, all of which constitute violations of international law and threats to peace. Venezuela noted that on December 16, US President Donald Trump publicly declared the following: “Today, I am ordering a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.”

The labor actions were organized to support 10,000 UNITE HERE members working for LSG Sky Chefs. They provide food and beverages served aboard flights for American, Delta, United, Alaska and other major U.S. airlines.
