The United Nations Embraces Colonialism

November 21, 2025 Craig Mokhiber, Mondoweiss. Educate! Colonialism, Genocide, Israel, Palestine, Trump Administration, United Nations

More than two years into the genocide in Palestine, the UN Security Council has finally acted. But rather than acting to enforce international law, protect the victims, and hold the perpetrators accountable, it adopted a resolution that openly flouts key provisions of international law, disempowers and further punishes the victims, and rewards and empowers the perpetrators. Most disturbingly, it hands control of Gaza and the survivors of the genocide over to the United States, a co-perpetrator of the genocide, and provides for the participation of the Israeli regime in decision making.

UN Security Council Gives US ‘Mandate’ Over Palestine

The United Nations Security Council on Monday adopted a resolution that gives the world body’s imprimatur to Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, a territory he said publicly should be ethnically cleansed to develop a Mediterranean resort. The council voted 13 nations in favor with two abstentions from China and Russia, which could have vetoed Trump’s plans. The resolution essentially revives the colonial mandate system of the League of Nations after the First World War, and the United Nations’ trusteeship system after the Second World War, both schemes in which colonial powers remained in charge of a colonized territory while it was supposed to wean it towards independence.

Ex-UN Official Decries Resolution Backing Gaza Force As ‘Colonial Outrage’

A former senior UN human rights official has denounced the Security Council’s adoption of a resolution backing a US plan for foreign forces and governance in Gaza, calling it a “colonial outrage”. Craig Mokhiber, former director of the New York office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), described the vote as a “day of shame” for the UN and accused governments worldwide of being “on their knees before the US empire and its violent Israeli client”. He criticised the "horrific" resolution as a violation of international law. “This proposal has been rejected by Palestinian civil society and factions, as well as by defenders of human rights and international law everywhere,” Mokhiber said on X.

Seattle Marches For Indigenous People’s Day

Seattle, WA – Hundreds marched for Indigenous People’s Day on October 13, this year marking the city of Seattle’s first recognition of the holiday. Starting at the city’s Henry M. Jackson Federal Building where immigration hearings are held, drummers of all ages led marchers through the streets of downtown Seattle, ending at Pike Place’s Indian Park. Grief and pride resonated through the march, as ICE kidnappings, the genocide in Palestine, and missing and murdered indigenous peoples were mourned and honored through continued resistance.

World leaders from roughly 190 countries gathered in September for the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). This year, many governments condemned the United States and Israel for carrying out crimes against humanity in Gaza. Representatives of numerous countries expressed support for the Palestinian people, while denouncing Western imperialism. A UN commission and multiple UN legal experts have stated conclusively that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. At the 2025 UNGA general debate, it was left-wing leaders from Latin America who led the resistance against the US empire. Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro compared the US government to Nazi Germany and referred to Donald Trump as the “new Hitler”.

‘A Recipe For Igniting West Asia’: Palestinians React To Trump’s Plan

Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza have condemned the “peace plan” introduced by US President Donald Trump on 29 September, calling it “vague” and accusing it of supporting Israeli aims to prolong the genocide in Gaza. “We will not accept any proposal that does not include the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and protection from massacres,” Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi declared, adding that Trump's announcement “is an attempt to stifle international momentum and recognition of the Palestinian state.” Qatari and Egyptian officials delivered the US-Israeli plan to Hamas’s negotiating team overnight, according to Al-Jazeera. The Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Ziad al-Nakhala, blasted the proposal, calling it "a US-Israeli agreement, reflecting Israel’s full stance.”

Trump Wages Economic War On US Allies; BRICS Builds Alternative System

The US government has always had a very aggressive foreign policy. The United States has intervened in dozens of countries all around the world. But what is unique about Donald Trump is that many of his aggressive policies not only target US adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, but also longtime US allies. Trump has imposed high tariffs that have hurt the economies of key US allies such as Japan, South Korea, and Europe. In fact, the details of the agreement that Trump imposed on Japan are quite shocking. This was reported on by the Financial Times, which wrote that “Japan confronts the increased price of US friendship”. Although I would say it’s not so much “friendship”; rather it’s vassalage. Japan has been militarily occupied by the US for 80 years, and we’re now seeing the cost of this imperial relationship.

The Second Africa Climate Summit Reveals The New Face Of Colonialism

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - Ethiopia may be impoverished financially, but is irrefutably one of the wealthiest nations I’ve ever been to as it pertains to culture, heritage, and national pride. Addis Ababa is a proper city that is clearly rising with new construction everywhere from housing, to hotels, and infrastructure that includes the largest hydroelectric dam on the continent, which began operations on September 9, 2025. To this end, the vibrant city with its gregarious and affable residents was more than an appropriate location to host the second bi-annual Africa Climate Summit (ACS2). This is especially true as ACS2 was held at a time when Ethiopia is celebrating its national New Year Holiday and the opening of its new, aforementioned, hydroelectric dam, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), which Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed hailed as, “the greatest achievement in the history of the Black race.”

‘Crime’, The Trojan Horse For Colonial Control

September 2, 2025 Erica Caines, Hood Communist. Educate! Colonialism, Crime, Domestic Imperialism, Haiti

The concept of “crime” is not a fixed, objective reality but a fluid and politically potent construct which has been meticulously weaponized to serve the interests of power. Crime is in fact a dialectical product of the very systems of domination it purportedly challenges. An elusive chameleon, the shifting definitions of crime justifies the expansion of state control, the suppression of dissent, and the advancement of imperial projects, both domestically and globally. Whether “high crime” or “low crime” , the rhetoric is rarely about public safety; rather, it is the primary language through which state agencies validate their own existence, and the imperialist state escalates its violence, masking the carceral and militaristic enforcement of social order to maintain hegemony under the guise of moral necessity.

Why Arab Campaigns To Boycott Israel Aren’t Working

September 1, 2025 Amena Al-Ashkar, Mondoweiss. Strategize! Arab Countries, BDS Movement, Colonialism, Gaza, Israel, Palestine

Under the urgency of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, many of the public tactics adopted by grassroots Arab movements to pressure their governments to boycott Israel and reflect the will of their people simply aren’t working. After nearly two years of genocide, the conventional tools of the Arab boycott campaign are hitting a wall. This failure is not only about tactics — it is also about a deeper misreading of where the centers of power lie in Arab countries. This has led to the inability to pressure governments into taking action. Power is no longer centralized in a colonial regime that directly governs us, but is rather scattered and diffused everywhere. But if we understand hegemonic power in this way, then how can we channel our energies strategically into where the boycott movement can have a larger impact?

End The Colonial Occupation Of Washington D.C

President Donald Trump’s recent announcement to deploy the National Guard to Washington, DC, framed as a crackdown on crime, marks a dangerous escalation in the federal government’s militarization of one of the spaces of the Black/African internal colony. On August 11, Trump declared, “We’re taking our capital back,” while signaling an unprecedented federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department. This move, under the pretext of public safety, follows his March 2025 executive order establishing the “Safe and Beautiful” task force, led by Stephen Miller, an architect of white nationalist immigration policies. The initiative has accelerated mass surveillance, aggressive policing, and the criminalization of Black/African and working-class communities, particularly in Southeast DC.

How The World Can Free Itself From US Financial Colonialism

August 6, 2025 Ben Norton and Michael Hudson, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report BRICS, Colonialism, Debt, Global Economy, US Hegemony

We are all living in a time of great change. There are massive geopolitical shifts happening in the world today, and we see the rise of new organizations like BRICs, which now represents more than 50% of the global population. The 20 countries of the extended BRICS+ now also make up more than 40% of world GDP, when measured at purchasing power parity (PPP). These new Global South-led organizations like BRICS represent the Global Majority. But there’s still a problem, which is that the most powerful international organizations today are largely dominated by the United States and the Western powers. This includes institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or the World Bank. These are organizations where the U.S. is the only country on Earth that has veto power.

The Terrible Origins Of July Fourth

“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.” -- Declaration of Independence The July 4 holiday in the United States commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Anyone educated in this country has been propagandized with lies about patriotic colonists seeking freedom from a tyrannical British monarch. Our minds were filled with tales of Paul Revere and Betsy Ross which erase the role that indigenous and Black people played as they attempted to end true tyranny over their lives.

Colonial Mining Fuels Israeli Genocide: Global Protests Target Glencore

In a protest against Glencore, one of the world’s largest mining conglomerates fueling Israel’s genocide in Gaza and devastating the environment of the local communities in the mining towns in Africa and South America, activists organized a global day of action on Wednesday, May 28. Demonstrations were reported in South Africa, Colombia, Peru, Germany, and Switzerland, where the Anglo-Swiss multinational held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) that day. The company’s shareholders have gathered in Switzerland “to celebrate the record profits” it makes by extracting and transporting coal to “the genocidal state of Israel” where it is “used to fuel the killing machine,” Socialist Youth Movement member Zaki Mamdoo told Newzroom Afrika.

Malcolm X And Human Rights In The Time Of Trumpism

52 years ago, on February 21st, the world lost the great anti-colonial fighter, Malcolm X. Around the world, millions pause on this anniversary and take note of the life and contribution of Brother Malcolm. Two years ago, I keynoted a lecture on the legacy of Malcolm X at the American University in Beirut, Lebanon. While I had long been aware of the veneration that Malcolm inspired in various parts of the world, I was still struck by the love and appreciation that so many have for Malcolm beyond activists in the black world. There are a number of reasons that might explain why, 52 years later, so many still pay homage to Malcolm.
