Apartheid

Over 30 New Laws Enacted Since 7 October Further Entrench Apartheid

November 27, 2025 Adalah Legal Center, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Over the past two years, the Israeli Knesset has passed dozens of new laws, the cumulative effect of which is to further entrench and deepen Israel’s regime of apartheid and repression over all Palestinians under its control – both in Israel and in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). Adalah’s new report, "Post-7 October: A New Wave of Anti-Palestinian Israeli Laws", reviews key legislation passed between 7 October 2023 and 27 July 2025. The laws span multiple themes, including freedom of expression, protest, and thought; the right to citizenship and family life; equality and social rights; and the rights of detainees and prisoners.

Zionist Shakedown

August 8, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
It is rare for the peoples of the world to be of one mind, to have unanimity of opinion on any subject, yet we are seeing that phenomenon take place right now. There is very little disagreement over whether or not the United States backed regime in Israel is committing war crimes and genocide. Millions of people have protested on the streets, conducted boycotts, and urged their governments to join in condemnation of Israel at the International Court of Justice and at the United Nations. It is no exaggeration to say that there were feelings of joy around the world when the International Criminal Court (ICC) finally issued an arrest warrant for prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Denver Continues Protests Against Palantir

August 2, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Denver, CO – On July 26, Coloradans gathered outside Denver’s Union Station in a rally against software development company Palantir, which is complicit with apartheid Israel. Palantir develops artificial intelligence used both by ICE to facilitate mass arrests and deportations and by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), with programs like “Lavender” and “Where’s Daddy” used to target and slaughter innocent Palestinian civilians and families by identifying targets, tracking them back to their homes, and deploying bombs. The protesters took aim at the Tabor Center, a skyscraper located in downtown Denver which leases out the 15th floor to Palantir to use as its headquarters.

Struggle For The Freedom Charter Goes On

July 13, 2025 Ronnie Kasrils, Mail and Guardian. , , ,
The Freedom Charter was adopted in Kliptown 70 years ago, on 26  June 1955. Thousands of delegates travelled across South Africa — by train, by bus, on foot — to take part in the Congress of the People. They met under an open sky, gathered on a dusty field where a wooden stage had been erected. Armed police watched from the perimeter but the atmosphere was determined and jubilant.  One by one, the clauses of the Charter — on land, work, education, housing, democracy, peace — were read aloud, and each was met with unanimous approval. The charter distilled months of discussion and collective vision.

Episcopal Church Refuses To Resettle White Afrikaners

May 13, 2025 Jack Jenkins, NPR. , , , , ,
In a striking move that ends a nearly four-decades-old relationship between the federal government and the Episcopal Church, the denomination announced on Monday that it is terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by President Trump's administration. In a letter sent to members of the church, the Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe — the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church — said that two weeks ago, the government "informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees."

The Hidden Story Of Britain’s Anti-Apartheid Militants

December 2, 2024 Marcus Barnett, Jacobin. , , , ,
At an East London cinema last summer, several dozen people in their late sixties and early seventies took to the stage. After being beckoned forwards by the compere, the veteran South African revolutionary Ronnie Kasrils, the shying group of mostly retirees received repeated standing ovations from loved ones, politicians, and diplomats filling out the private screening. Afterward, they chatted at the cinema bar and signed pamphlets and books, while their proud children and grandchildren took selfies with the actors who had portrayed their family members in the film they had just enjoyed.

Oxford Union Declares Israel An ‘Apartheid State Responsible For Genocide’

November 30, 2024 Middle East Eye. , , , , , , , , ,
The prestigious Oxford Union voted by an overwhelming majority that Israel is an "apartheid state responsible for genocide" at a fiery event in which the society's president denounced Israel's war on Gaza as a "holocaust", and a pro-Israel speaker was ejected from the debating chamber. The exclusive debating society, founded in 1823, held an unprecedented debate on Thursday night on the motion: "This house believes Israel is an apartheid state responsible for genocide". The motion was carried with a thumping majority of 278 to 59. The packed debate on Thursday evening, observed by Middle East Eye and largely attended by Oxford students, was often raucous and heated, with nearly every speaker interrupted several times by students raising objections.

A Free State Of Palestine Is Inevitable; How Many Must Die First?

October 7, 2024 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , , , ,
October 7, 2024 marks the first anniversary of the launch of Operation Al Aqsa Flood when members of the Palestinian resistance movement broke out of Gaza, known as the world's largest open air prison. The occupying state of Israel responded with a genocidal attack on Gaza that has since spread to the West Bank, Lebanon and other countries in the region that are acting in solidarity with Palestine. Clearing the FOG speaks with activist and author Miko Peled about the goals of Israel, what is happening in Palestine and West Asia and his new project, the Palestine House of Freedom, in Washington, DC.

The ICJ Finds That BDS Is Not Merely A Right, But An Obligation

August 14, 2024 Craig Mokhiber, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
Israel and its lobby have, for years now, been engaged in a frenzy of activity to further insulate Israel from accountability by using their influence in the West to effectively outlaw organized opposition to Israel. Foremost among these efforts has been the Israeli campaign to penalize calls to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel for its gross violations of human rights. As a result, countless laws and policies are now on the books across the U.S. and the broader West, trampling on core constitutional principles and internationally guaranteed human rights in defense of Israeli impunity. But an advisory opinion issued last month by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) should help to turn that around.

World Court Opinion On Illegal Israeli Occupation Gives Tools To End Genocide

July 30, 2024 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , ,
On July 18, 2024, the World Court (aka the International Court of Justice) issued an advisory opinion that found Israel to be an illegal occupation of Palestine and that the settlements must be dismantled, Palestinians must be allowed to return to their homes and they must be paid reparations. International human rights lawyer Francis Boyle talks to Clearing the FOG about how the court's opinion came about, what it means and how it can be used by activists in their communities to end the genocide in Palestine. Boyle explains why now is the time to escalate our actions and end the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine.

Tourism Giants Illegally Enrich Israeli Settlements On Stolen Land

June 13, 2024 Kit Klarenberg, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
On 23 May, Netherlands-based European Legal Support Centre (ELSC) reportedly filed a criminal complaint against Booking.com in Holland. The company, known for providing short- and long-term vacation booking services, is accused of money laundering linked to Israeli war crimes and profiteering from the occupation state’s illegal settlement expansion projects. Booking.com is alleged to advertise accommodations and “experiences” in illegally occupied Palestinian territories. The complaint highlights Booking.com’s alleged complicity in Israeli genocide, as detailed in a report by Don’t Buy Into Occupation (DBIO), a coalition of 25 European and Palestinian NGOs, including the ELSC.

My Heart Makes My Head Swim

May 17, 2024 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. , , , , , ,
The title of this newsletter, ‘My heart makes my head swim’, comes from Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks (1952). In a chapter called ‘The Fact of Blackness’, Fanon writes about the despair that racism produces, the immense anxiety about living in a world that has decided that certain people are simply not human or not sufficiently human. The lives of these people, children of a lesser god, are assigned less worth than the lives of the powerful and the propertied. An international division of humanity tears the world into pieces, throwing masses of people into the fires of anguish and oblivion. What is happening in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, is ghastly.

Documentary – Automated Apartheid: Walking Through Hebron Smart City

May 12, 2024 Mnar Adley, MintPress News. , , , , , ,
A silent sentinel watches over every corner in the bustling streets of Hebron, the largest city in the West Bank, where the ancient echoes of history collide with the modern hum of daily life. This sentinel is not a person but a network of surveillance technology known ominously as the “Hebron Smart City.” Designed by Israeli authorities, this system blankets the city in a web of cameras, sensors and even automated weapons, tracking every movement of its Palestinian residents. “Palestinians in Hebron are the most surveilled people on the planet,” explains journalist and activist Mnar Adley, highlighting the omnipresence of cameras and face-scanning technology.

‘Occupation’s Nightmare’ Continues Despite Jordanian Crackdown

May 6, 2024 Aseel Saleh, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
Since the recent war on Gaza was launched by the Israeli occupation forces in October 2023, Jordan has witnessed mass protests across the country. Such protests are not unusual for the Jordanian people in spite of their government’s compromising stance on the Israeli entity. Jordanians have taken to the streets for decades in protest over the Israel-Jordan Peace treaty, also known as “Wadi Araba”, that was signed in 1994. “‘Wadi Araba’ is not peace, ‘Wadi Araba’ is surrender, has been chanted by Jordanians for around 30 years.

2009 US Policy Paper Planned Current Israeli-Iranian Tensions

April 18, 2024 Brian Berletic, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
Since October 7, 2023 it would appear a spontaneous chain of events is leading the Middle East deeper and deeper into conflict. From Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza to its strikes on Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and repeated strikes across Syria (including the recent strike on Iran’s embassy in Damascus), to the ongoing US-led confrontation with Yemen in the Red Sea, it would appear that poor diplomacy is failing to prevent escalation and is instead leading to mounting tensions and a growing potential for wider war.
