Media Largely Ignored Gaza Famine When There Was Time To Avert Mass Starvation

August 1, 2025 Julie Hollar, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , , ,
Since the October 7 attacks, Israel has severely restricted humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, using starvation of civilians as a tool of war, a war crime for which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Yoav Gallant have been charged by the International Criminal Court. Gallant proclaimed a “complete siege” of Gaza on October 9, 2023: “There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed.” Aid groups warned of famine conditions in parts of Gaza as early as December 2023. By April 2024, USAID administrator Samantha Power (CNN, 4/11/24) found it “likely that parts of Gaza, and particularly northern Gaza, are already experiencing famine.”

US Embassy-Israel Consular Officials Have NOT Visited Citizens From Flotilla

July 30, 2025 Ann Wright, former US Diplomat, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
As a former US diplomat charged with the protection of US citizens outside the U.S., I am appalled that no officials from the US Embassy in Israel have made visits to Givon prison in Israel to check on the welfare of the seven US citizens from the Gaza flotilla ship Handala who have been imprisoned for over four days. Officials from other countries whose citizens were on the Handala have made visits to the prison to talk in person about their welfare, conditions and treatment in the prison and treatment by Israeli commandos when the ship was boarded in international waters on July 26, 2025 and US citizens taken against their will to Israel and then charged with illegally entering Israel. There were 7 US citizens on the Handala. 

Palestinians Are Not Starving In Gaza; They are Being Starved!

July 29, 2025 Dr. Wilmer J. Leon, III, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
Recently I was listening to an NPR program talking about Palestine and the genocide in Gaza and the point was made that Palestinians in Gaza are starving.  People need to be very clear on this point, Palestinians in Gaza are not starving! I repeat, that’s just not true. Palestinians in Gaza are being starved to death.  This is not a distinction without a difference. It would be appropriate to say that Palestinians are starving if they were the victims of a natural catastrophe or an act of God, such as a drought. One could say that Palestinians are starving if crops could not be grown and grass were burned so the animals could not graze, such as in Sudan.

Brooklyn Navy Yard Has Palestinian Blood On Their Hands

July 29, 2025 Emmy, Workers' World. , , , , ,
New York City - The Brooklyn Navy Yard is a manufacturing complex that is heavily involved in military research and technological development. Originally a shipbuilding facility for the U.S. Navy, BNY now aids and abets the genocide of people living on Turtle Island and West Asia. Hidden among art studios and food vendors, the Navy Yard leases space to two companies that directly supply military equipment and tactical gear to the Israel Occupation Forces: Easy Aerial and Crye Precision. Founded by Ivan Stamavski and former IOF soldier Ido Gur in 2015, Easy Aerial is an Israeli-U.S. drone manufacturer that supplies autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles to the IOF for use across West Asia.

International And Internal Pressure On Israel Building; Concentration Camp Stalled

July 28, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
Two leading Israeli human rights organizations issued reports on 28 July accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, marking the first time any major Israeli group has made such a declaration. “An examination of Israel’s policy in the Gaza Strip and its horrific outcomes, together with statements by senior Israeli politicians and military commanders about the goals of the attack, leads to the unequivocal conclusion that Israel is taking coordinated, deliberate action to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip,” B’Tselem wrote.

Worldwide Actions: Bang Your Pots For Gaza

July 28, 2025 Roya News. , , , ,
Activists are urging people worldwide to participate in a "pot-banging" demonstration daily at 6 PM local time, wherever they are, aiming to raise urgent awareness about the escalating famine in Gaza caused by the “Israeli” blockade.  The initiative, dubbed "Pot-Banging for Gaza," calls on participants to bang pots and pans from their windows or balconies for 2-5 minutes to highlight the dire humanitarian crisis caused by what organizers describe as “Israel's” illegal blockade. It was inspired by a viral video shot on Monday in Nuseirat, central Gaza, where hungry children, men, and women banged on their empty pots demanding the opening of crossings.

Adalah Demands Immediate Release Of 21 Activists Aboard The ‘Handala’

July 28, 2025 Adalah, The Legal Center for Minority Rights in Israel. , , , , , ,
Israeli forces intercepted the Handala in international waters at around midnight (Israel time) on 27 July 2025 and contact with the activists was lost. This peaceful civilian mission was dedicated to the children of Gaza and named after the Palestinian national symbol Handala, created by political cartoonist Naji al-Ali, who represents a barefoot refugee child who turned his back on injustice and vowed not to face the world again until Palestinian refugees are allowed to return to their homeland. This ship, which sailed as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FCC), is part of the coalition’s ongoing efforts to break Israel’s illegal and deadly blockade on the Palestinian people in Gaza, amid the ongoing genocide and deliberate starvation imposed on Gaza’s population.

The Gaza Riviera

July 27, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Israelis do not see the images of skeletal corpses of Palestinian children who they have starved to death as a curse. They do not see the slain families they gun down at food hubs — designed not to deliver aid but lure starving Palestinians into a massive concentration camp in the south of Gaza in preparation for deportation — as a war crime. Israelis do not look at the savage bombing and shelling that kill or wound dozens of Palestinian civilians, where an average of 28 children die daily, as anything extraordinary. They do not see the wasteland of Gaza, pulverized by bombs and methodically being torn down by bulldozers and excavators, leaving virtually the entire population of Gaza homeless, as barbaric.

United States Pulls Out Of Gaza Ceasefire Talks

July 27, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
The U.S. envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, said on Monday that the U.S. will consider “alternative options” to negotiating with Hamas following the breakdown of ceasefire talks between Israel and the resistance group. Witkoff’s statements came as part of his announcement of Washington’s withdrawal from the talks in Qatar, only a day after Hamas presented its response to the latest Witkoff proposal. Witkoff’s statement that the U.S. would find another way of securing “stability” in Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages in the Strip was later backed with a similar statement from President Trump, who said on Friday that Hamas “didn’t really want to make a deal.”

Reflections From My Time On The Handala

July 26, 2025 Dr. Yipeng Ge, Rabble. , , , ,
I spent the past week with the Handala freedom flotilla team. I was planning on supporting and sending off the Handala boat from Siracusa, Italy. Last minute, I was offered the opportunity to join the Handala boat as it sailed from Siracusa, Italy to Gallipoli, Italy. Spending time with the crew and ground team was incredibly inspiring and hopeful. It was the honour of a lifetime and I made memories that I will treasure forever. We held each other in our collective grief, sorrow, and rage for Gaza and for Palestine. We were actively translating this into action and solidarity work for Gaza and for Palestine.

US Physicians Read Aloud The Searing Testimony Of Desperate Doctors And Patients In Gaza

July 25, 2025 Linda Pentz Gunter, Counter Punch. , , ,
“I have a cold. And in one hour, I’ll have finished a twenty-four-hour shift, heartbroken again. I lost a cardiac patient because we had no medication. Another patient shot in the head, was left to die slowly because we had no ventilator. A child with a shattered skull and exposed brain matter just died in front of me. I also just found a kidney patient collapsed on the bedroom floor. He had a seizure due to brain damage because he has not had dialysis in three months. A diabetic man hadn’t eaten in four days. He cried when I asked why. I gave him fluids and some money to buy flour.

Israel Is Changing The Legal System Governing The West Bank

July 24, 2025 Jeff Wright, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Israel is accelerating its efforts to cement its permanent control over the West Bank through a number of sweeping legal and institutional changes, according to a new report from Adalah, The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel. The 87-page report, Legal Structures of Distinction, Separation, and Territorial Domination, describes the ways in which the Netanyahu government is rapidly building on a long-standing legal matrix that further threatens Palestinians’ right to self-determination. “These developments are not something new to us,” Dr. Suhad Bishara, Legal Director of Adalah and lead author of the report, told Mondoweiss.

Dell Supplied Tech Used In Israeli Kill-List Programs

July 24, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Dell Technologies enjoys deeper ties with the Israeli military than previously known, including enabling Israeli soldiers to target and kill Palestinian civilians using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, the Electronic Intifada reported on 24 July. In January 2023, the US-based multinational won a $150 million tender from Israel’s Defense Ministry to supply servers and IT infrastructure to the Israeli army, other security bodies, and the ministry itself. The deal included services provided by Dell subsidiaries VMware and EMC Israel Advanced Information Technologies, which offered both technology and training to Israeli military units.

Veterans And Allies Come Together At A Critical Moment In History

July 24, 2025 Veterans For Peace, Popular Resistance. , , , , , ,
After six years apart due to the COVID-19 pandemic, military veterans and peace activists from around the world will gather in-person once again for the Veterans For Peace National Convention, held July 24–27, 2025, at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The hybrid event also offers virtual access for attendees worldwide. Veterans For Peace, a national organization of former service members committed to ending war and militarism, will host workshops, speakers, and strategy sessions focused on peacebuilding, climate justice, and veterans' advocacy—including issues like demilitarizing police, returning deported veterans, confronting mass deportation, and ending U.S. involvement in Gaza and Ukraine.

Europe’s Betrayal Of Gaza

July 23, 2025 Medea Benjamin, Consortium News. , , , ,
While the U.S. government has given Israel carte blanche to commit genocide, many of us held out hope that Europe would be different — more principled, more bound by its own human rights commitments. But Europe has proven no better; it has been complicit through trade deals, a steady flow of weapons, and brutal crackdowns on pro-Palestine protesters across the continent. At the July 15 meeting of the European Union-Israel Association Council, European foreign ministers had a chance to act, but they refused to take punitive action under the agreement’s human rights clause.
