April 15, 2026 Global Sumud Flotilla. , , , ,
Barcelona, April 12 - Following a major international launch press conference at Moll de la Fusta Port this morning, the Global Sumud Flotilla has formally entered its active Barcelona departure window, transforming months of organizing, testimony, and international coordination into the next phase of the largest civilian-led flotilla mission in history to challenge Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza. Today’s press conference unfolded as one continuous global story: from family loss and displacement, to the collapse of governments and international institutions, to the deliberate destruction of Gaza’s hospitals, coastlines, fisheries, farmland, and water systems, to the collective decision that civil society must now move where states have failed.

Amjad Ashour, 50, stands in the nutrition department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, holding his four-month-old infant as doctors warn him that a lack of formula leads to stunted growth, developmental delays, and serious health complications. His child is already suffering from the shortage. Ashour’s wife, the baby’s mother, is herself malnourished, leaving the family entirely dependent on infant formula, which is no longer available at the hospital. Ashour said he struggled to find milk for his child every day, and when the hospital had none, he turned to international organizations.

Global Sumud Flotilla: We Refuse To Wait

The Global Sumud Flotilla will set sail from Barcelona this Sunday, April 12, 2026, joined by Open Arms and Greenpeace’s Arctic Sunrise. While countries trade ceasefire announcements, the Israeli regime’s assault on Gaza and ground offensive in Lebanon continue as of this morning, underscoring how little has changed for civilians under fire and how urgent it is to act. The flotilla’s strategy and purpose are clear: to challenge israel's illegal siege on Gaza, deliver aid, and confront the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and the complicity that enables it.

America’s Moral Suicide

April 9, 2026 Michael Brenner, Consortium News. , , , ,
Collective suicide always is an ugly business to observe — especially when it’s your own country debasing itself. Yet, we seem unfazed. Indeed, we redouble our acts of inhumanity as if reiteration somehow normalizes the perversity of what we have done. The systematic insulation of ourselves from the magnitude of our turpitude is all the more remarkable for its requiring the constant filtering of graphic images of odious criminality to which we are accomplices. There may be some faint recognition, subliminally, of our culpability in the diligence with which dissenters and truth-tellers are suppressed and punished.

Barcelona, Spain – Greenpeace has today announced that its ship, the Arctic Sunrise, will join the upcoming Global Sumud Flotilla. Sailing alongside more than seventy vessels and over a thousand participants who seek to directly challenge Israel’s ongoing blockade of aid to Gaza. The Arctic Sunrise’s role is to provide technical and operational maritime support so that the vessels safely transit across the Mediterranean before they complete the last 200 nautical miles onto Gaza’s shores.  Greenpeace has long condemned both the humanitarian and environmental crises caused by Israel’s genocide on Gaza.

In Gaza, Education Is A Daily Act Of Quiet Resistance

In a corner of a displacement camp in Al-Mawasi, in southern Gaza, Alaa carefully tapes a sheet of white paper onto a worn wooden board. Dust moves through the air as the wind blows across the camp, where noise and movement rarely stop. Around her, other tents stretch across the sandy ground of the camp, where thousands of displaced families now live. Children move between the narrow paths separating the tents, while the distant sound of generators and conversation fills the air. Just a week before the war began in October 2023, Alaa, a 23-year-old fine arts student at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza, worked inside the university’s art studio, surrounded by paints and materials as she planned her graduation project.

Chloé Fíona Ludden is a scientist who grew up between France and Ireland. She describes herself as a “curious person,” scientifically-minded, who has long been driven by questions like, “How can supposedly rich and developed societies tolerate so much poverty and inequality?” She studied environmental governance, and worked at multiple research institutes and international organizations, including the European Union, IPCC and the United Nations Secretariat. As a person, she strives “to restore a sense of the future as a place where we actually want to go.”

The World According To Gaza

March 16, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
Gaza is only the start. The new world order is one where the weak are obliterated by the strong, the rule of law does not exist, genocide is an instrument of control and barbarism is triumphant. The war on Iran and the obliteration of Gaza is the beginning. Welcome to the new world order. The age of technologically-advanced barbarism. There are no rules for the strong, only for the weak. Oppose the strong, refuse to bow to its capricious demands and you are showered with missiles and bombs. Hospitals, elementary schools, universities and apartment complexes are reduced to rubble. 

What’s New In Trump’s ‘Board Of Peace’ For Gaza

March 2, 2026 Aseel Saleh, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
One month after Washington had announced the launch of phase two of the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire deal, developments regarding Trump’s “Board of Peace”, which is supposed to administer the besieged enclave in the post-war era, are still unfolding. The new developments revolve around three major pivots, including a pledge of USD 17 billion for rebuilding the war-ravaged territory, exploring the creation of a new digital currency to boost its economy, and the commitment of five countries to join the so-called International Stabilization Force (ISF).

Anti-Genocide Groups Confirm Massive ‘Freedom Flotilla’

Activists coordinating under the Global Sumud Flotilla and Freedom Flotilla Coalition announced on 26 February that a fleet of up to 200 boats will depart on 12 April from several Mediterranean ports in a renewed bid to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza. “This is not only about delivering aid. It is about asserting the right of civilians to challenge the isolation of Gaza through peaceful means,” said Dilek Tekocak, speaking at a press conference in Istanbul’s Fatih district on behalf of the flotilla’s international coordination committee. “This initiative represents global civilian resistance,” Tekocak said, describing the effort as a peaceful mobilization against Israel’s unlawful blockade of Gaza that continues despite the ceasefire.

‘Board Of Peace’ Debut Sparks Fears For Gaza’s Future

The first official "Board of Peace" meeting for Gaza on Thursday drew mixed reactions online, after several announcements and policy signals prompted frustration across social media. In Washington, DC, US President Donald Trump convened the inaugural session of his proposed Board of Peace for Gaza, an initiative framed within the 20-point ceasefire plan that took effect on 10 October and was later ratified in Davos, Switzerland, on 22 January. Trump is set to serve as the board’s chairman for life. During the meeting at the newly renamed Donald J Trump Institute for Peace, several pledges and policy directions were outlined, including a reported $7bn commitment from nine countries towards relief efforts in Gaza.

US Plans To Build A 5,000-Person Military Base In Gaza

February 22, 2026 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , , ,
The Trump administration is planning to build a 5,000-person military base inside Gaza, the Guardian reported on Thursday, citing contracting records from the so-called “Board of Peace.” The report said that the base would take up more than 350 acres of land in southern Gaza and is envisioned as a future base for the international force that may deploy to the Strip under President Trump’s plan for the Palestinian territory, though so far, only Indonesia has announced plans to commit troops to the force. The Guardian said that the plans it reviewed “call for the phased construction of a military outpost that will eventually have a footprint of 1,400 metres by 1,100 metres.

Palestinian Resistance And The Trap Of Trump’s ‘Board Of Peace’

February 19, 2026 Abdaljawad Omar, Mondoweiss. , , ,
The first meeting of Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace” is scheduled for later this week. Palestinian resistance factions face a defining predicament in how to respond: reject the Board outright and risk annihilation and the stalling of reconstruction, or engage with it and risk the slow erosion of their nature as resistance organizations. Although it has been billed as a postwar administrative mechanism, the Board’s ultimate goal is to reorganize Palestinian political life in Gaza — under direct colonial oversight — into a permanent state of political submission.

Apple Bought A Sinister ‘Pre-Speech’ Tech Company Implicated In Genocide

February 16, 2026 Nate Bear, Scheer Post. , , , , , ,
Apple has paid nearly $2 billion for a ‘pre-speech’ tech company whose employees helped Israel commit genocide in Gaza. And Apple has paid this money, the second-biggest deal in its history, for a company that doesn’t have a product, doesn’t have any revenues and whose website is a single page containing 15 words. The company, Q.ai, is developing sensors which map the imperceptible movements of a human face to determine the words someone is thinking before they’re spoken. They call it silent speech. Or pre-speech.

Thousands Of Western Nationals Serve In Israel’s Army

February 15, 2026 Middle East Eye. , , ,
The Israeli military has published official data for the first time detailing how many of its soldiers hold foreign citizenship alongside Israeli nationality, revealing a large presence of dual-national personnel within its ranks. Figures obtained by Declassified through a freedom of information request made in March 2025 and filed by the NGO Hatzlacha show that 50,632 serving soldiers hold at least one additional citizenship. Personnel carrying passports from the United States, France, Russia, Germany, the United Kingdom and Ukraine form the largest groups, accounting for most of the total.
