America Inc.: Top 11 Companies Supporting Israel’s Crimes

November 21, 2023 Lee Camp, BreakThrough News. Resistance Report Gaza, Israel, Palestine, War crimes, Wars and Militarism

You would think with all the war crimes and atrocities being committed by Israel right now that US corporations would not want their brand name slapped on top of the rubble that was once a school or a hospital. But that would suggest some sort of conscience. Most companies don't seem to care. Here are the top 11 corporations deepest in bed with Israel. Let's start with the weapons contractors because they are the most villainous. The stocks of the big war profiteers have shot up since Israel's war on Gaza began. Northrup, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and BAE Systems have gained more than $30 billion in value over just the past few weeks.

Did Israel’s Military Kill Its Own Civilians On October 7?

November 19, 2023 Chris Hedges, The Real News Network. Resistance Report Friendly Fire, Israel, Operation Al Aqsa Flood, Palestine, Wars and Militarism

For all the sensationalism surrounding the events of Oct. 7, when Hamas broke through the Gaza fence and seized territory in the Gaza Envelope as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there is still much that we do not know. The official Israeli death toll from the attack is estimated at 1,200 civilians, revised from an initial estimate of 1,400. Among this figure are several hundred civilians, which Israel says were killed by Hamas militants. Other testimony from survivors of Oct. 7 suggests an alternative explanation—that in its fervor to defeat Hamas, Israeli commanders may have willingly targeted and sacrificed Israeli soldiers and civilians in the crossfire.

Ceasefire Now: Workplace Organizing For Palestine

November 18, 2023 Lisa Xu, Labor Notes. Resistance Report Israel, Labor Movement, Palestine, Solidarity, Worker Rights and Jobs

On November 15, Labor Notes hosted a Zoom call to hear reports from workers who are organizing to stop an escalating genocide in Palestine. Many are also fighting against the repression of workers who are speaking up for a ceasefire and against Israel’s occupation. We heard speakers from unions in education, health care, construction, and others who have organized their co-workers into action. Registration is open for the Labor Notes conference on April 19-21, 2024, for which we plan to develop programming on the labor movement and Palestine.

The Nakba 2.0: Issa Amro’s Insider Account Of Israeli Torture In Hebron

November 16, 2023 Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. Resistance Report Genocide, Israel, Issa Amro, Palestine, State Repression, West Bank

Coming back to his house on October 7, world-renowned activist Issa Amro was dragged away by 15 armed Israelis, blindfolded, gagged, and cuffed so tightly he now needs an operation on his hands. The settlers and soldiers kept him imprisoned for days, beating and torturing him, constantly simulating his execution. Speaking with MintPress News, Amro told the story of what life is like for Palestinians living in the West Bank city of Hebron. “In my city where I live now, since October 7, there is a curfew,” he told Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod. But this curfew is far more restrictive than others. Palestinian families – those who have not already fled the genocidal Israeli violence – are given only six hours a week to leave their homes.

On The Ground In Jenin With The West Bank’s Resistance Fighters

November 14, 2023 Ross Domoney, Nadia Peridot and Ahmed Al-Bazz, The Real News. Resistance Report Occupation, Palestine, Resistance, West Bank

Israel continues to unleash hell upon the 22-by-5-mile concentrated area of Gaza, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, with relentless airstrikes and indiscriminate bombings of hospitals, residential buildings, schools, and other civilian sites. As besieged Palestinians shelter and flee and die within the walls of their cage in Gaza, Resistance forces are mobilizing to rise up against an Occupation that has presided over lives for 75 years. Where there is occupation, there is resistance, and numerous Palestinian resistance groups exist across the Occupied Territories. These groups consist of occupied subjects turned freedom fighters.

Why Does The United States Support Israel?

November 13, 2023 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report Israel, Joe Biden, US Hegemony, Western Asia

Geopolitical Economy Report editor Ben Norton interviewed economist Michael Hudson to explore the reasons why Israel is such an important part of U.S. foreign policy and Washington’s attempt to dominate not only the region of the Middle East, but really the entire world. It is crucial to stress that Israel is an extension of U.S. geopolitical power in one of the most critically important regions of the world. In fact, it was current U.S. President Joe Biden, back in 1986, when he was a senator, who famously said that, if Israel didn’t exist, the United States would have to invent it: If we look at the Middle East, I think it’s about time we stop, those of us who support, as most of us do, Israel in this body, for apologizing for our support for Israel. There is no apology to be made. None. It is the best $3 billion investment we make.

Congress Won’t Demand A Ceasefire In Gaza; Activists Pressure Them

November 12, 2023 Chris Hedges, The Real News. Resistance Report Ceasefire, Chris Hedges, Congress, Gaza, Genocide, Israel, Palestine

Israel's devastating campaign of collective punishment against the people of Gaza has aroused international condemnation and popular mobilization in support of a ceasefire and an end to Israeli Apartheid. This movement has also spread to the US, where hundreds of thousands of people flocked to Washington D.C. on Nov. 4 for the largest pro-Palestine march in US history. Support for a ceasefire in Gaza is widespread among the US public—with more than half of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike in favor of such a measure, according to Data for Progress. Yet the federal government continues to largely ignore calls for a ceasefire and an end to US aid to Israel

Norman Finkelstein Responds To Bernie Sanders

November 7, 2023 Dr. Norman Finkelstein, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Bernie Sanders, Ceasefire, Hamas, Israel, Palestine, Wars and Militarism

Norman Finkelstein responds to Bernie Sanders’ statement in a recent interview on CNN where he openly opposed a ceasefire in Gaza using the justification that Hamas is causing chaos in Israel and saying that “Hamas has got to.” Finkelstein answers with: “I was so furious at that remark of Bernie’s when he said he opposed the ceasefire and my innards started to writhe and I decided I had to respond. Bernie said in the interview that he opposed a ceasefire and his grounds for opposing a ceasefire were that Hamas wanted to destroy Israel and therefore Hamas has to be destroyed. So let’s look at the facts. I am going to start with 2006."

USA Vs The World: Blockade On Cuba Opposed By 97% Of Countries

November 7, 2023 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report Cuba, Economic Blockade, Israel, Sanctions, Ukraine, United Nations (UN), US Imperialism

US officials frequently talk about the “rules-based international order”, and label other countries as “rogue states” if Washington doesn’t like their policies. But a look at votes in the United Nations clearly shows that the United States consistently opposes the will of the entire international community. The world saw a striking example of this on November 2, when almost every country on Earth supported a UN General Assembly resolution that called to end the US embargo against Cuba. Only two countries voted against the measure: the United States and Israel. Just one country abstained: Ukraine.

Craig Mokhiber On UN’s Failures In Palestine And Why He Quit

November 6, 2023 People's Dispatch. Resistance Report Genocide, Human Rights, Israel, Palestine, Protests, United Nations (UN), Wars and Militarism

Senior UN Human Rights official Craig Mokhiber recently resigned over the organization's failure to address the brutal genocide in Gaza and Israel's apartheid policies against Palestinians. In this interview with Vijay Prashad, he talks about how the UN failed the people of Palestine over the decades and how the UN moved away from the principled norms-based approach rooted in international law when it came to the question of Palestine. Mokhiber explains the role played by countries such as the United States in this shift. He also says that hope lies in the massive demonstrations that are taking place across the world in solidarity with the people of Palestine and against the Israeli genocide.

Chris Hedges Report: We’re A War Machine As A Nation

November 4, 2023 Chris Hedges, The Real News. Resistance Report Chris Hedges, Dennis Kucinich, Wars and Militarism

Israel's ongoing massacre in Gaza has stirred worldwide calls for a ceasefire to stop the genocide unfolding. The United States has been no exception, which countless demonstrators taking to the streets in recent weeks. That hasn’t stopped the US government from backing Israel’s horrific campaign in Gaza to the hilt. The White House has refused to heed calls for a ceasefire and even deployed two aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean—not to defend Palestinians, but to dissuade regional powers from joining the fray to defend Palestine. As the possibility of a regional war looms with the entry of Yemen into the conflict, many wonder how the US might respond to such a scenario.

The Watchdog With Lowkey: Palestine Action On Trial

November 3, 2023 Lowkey, MintPress News. Resistance Report Direct Action, Elbit, Legal System, Palestine Action, United Kingdom (UK)

The British state – and quite possibly its Israeli counterpart – are attempting to shut down Palestine Action. Since its founding in 2020, the activist group has launched hundreds of operations against arms factories across the United Kingdom, especially Israeli ones. Its goal is to break British complicity in the Israeli military-industrial complex. Palestine Action has already caused serious economic damage to companies like Elbit Systems. Joining Lowkey on this edition of “The Watchdog” is returning guest Huda Amori. Born in the U.K., Amori is a Palestinian-Iraqi whose father was chased out of his home by Israeli soldiers in 1967 and forced to flee without even a pair of shoes.

Dr. Gabor Maté: This Is Genocide

November 3, 2023 Max Blumenthal and Aaron Maté, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Gaza, Genocide, Palestine, Zionism

It's one of those situations where somebody who deals with trauma in my work and who and speaks so much, and words really are my metier, the words fail me at this point. It's difficult to explain how I perceive the situation but in a certain deep sense, I feel that it's the worst thing I've seen in my whole life. It's impossible to compare atrocities - I mean nothing compares with the mechanized murder of five, six million Jews by the Nazis. What can compare to the slaughter of three million Vietnamese civilians by the Americans; the many murders and mass killings that are not even reported in the Western press such as the Indian-Asian Genocide in East Timor...

The Hannibal Directive: What Really Happened On October 7

October 30, 2023 Mnar Adley, MintPress News. Resistance Report Hannibal Directive, Israel, Media, Operation Al Aqsa Flood, Palestine

We were told Hamas killed 1400 Israelis on October 7, that they carried out rapes and torture of civilians en masse and, of course, that they beheaded babies. These claims are being used to justify Israel’s bombardment of Gaza – the world’s largest open-air prison. Israel’s bombing of the strip, where over 50% of the population are children, has cost the lives of more than 5,000 people and left more than one million homeless. Recent events surrounding the Gaza conflict have prompted questions about the accuracy of reported actions attributed to Hamas and Israel’s military response. A closer examination reveals a complex and, at times, conflicting narrative.
