New Footage Exposes Ragtag US Mercenaries Firing Toward Aid Seekers

July 8, 2025 Max Blumenthal and Wyatt Reed, The Grayzone. , , , , , , , , ,
On July 2, the Associated Press released an exposé containing short videos which appeared to show American mercenaries associated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) opening fire on aid-seekers in Gaza during an incident in southern Gaza this May. The footage was supplied by a former employee of UG Solutions, a firm charged with securing GHF distribution sites. “I think you hit one,” one soldier of fortune says to another following a loud burst of gunfire. “Hell yeah, boy!” another exclaims. In an apparent attempt to control the damage from the AP investigation, UG Solutions has distributed a pair of videos comprising over seven minutes of footage to the press.

What The 17th BRICS Summit Declaration Says And Omits

July 7, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , ,
At the 17th BRICS Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro from July 6 to 7, 2025, the bloc’s leaders issued a declaration reaffirming the bloc’s central role as a representative voice of the Global South. However, the declaration does not mention the word “genocide” when referring to the Israeli massacre of the Palestinian population, and despite condemning unilateral sanctions, it fails to mention one of the countries that has suffered the greatest impact from them: Venezuela, a strategic ally of China and Russia, two of the founding countries of the BRICS. In this regard, the final declaration condemns “the imposition of unilateral coercive measures contrary to international law” and denounces that such measures “have far-reaching negative implications for human rights, including the rights to development, health and food security of the general population of the affected states.”

Freedom Flotilla Ship Will Attempt To Break Israeli Blockade Of Gaza

July 7, 2025 Kyle Anzalone and Will Porter, The Libertarian Institute. , , , , ,
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) has said it will attempt to break the Israeli siege of Gaza with another ship. Last month, the FFC vessel ‘Madleen’ was seized by Israeli forces before it could reach the starving people of the Strip. A statement on the organization’s X account announced that the next ship will set sail from Italy next week: “We are setting sail again. On July 13, 2025, our boat Handala will depart from Siracusa [Syracuse], Italy, to break Israel’s illegal blockade. This mission is for the children of Gaza.” It continued, “Just weeks ago, Israeli forces illegally seized our boat Madleen and abducted 12 unarmed civilians aboard her in international waters.”

4,000 People Tried To March From Egypt To Gaza; Egypt Stopped Them

July 7, 2025 Tobiah Palm, Novara Media. , , , , ,
Lien Arits stepped off a plane in Cairo on a sweltering June evening. The Belgian politician wore heels and make-up at border control to avoid looking like an activist. It was a sensible precaution: the previous day, 40 members of the Dutch delegation to the Global March to Gaza had been denied entry to Egypt. Arits was travelling to the action with three fellow members of the Belgian Green party – but to avoid being identified as a group, they agreed to act like strangers. No talking at the airport; no eye contact on the plane. Weeks earlier, Arits and over 4,000 others from more than 80 countries had signed up for the march, which planned to take participants just 30 miles from El Arish to Rafah over three days between 15 and 19 June.

Next Week, Trump And Netanyahu Will Meet To Plan ‘New Middle East’

July 6, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
U.S. President Donald Trump seems to have largely moved on from Iran and is now setting his sights on instituting a broader new order in the Middle East. Trump’s vision consists of an Israel-centric regional order that sees Iran and Hezbollah defeated and normalization with Israel spreading across the region, from Lebanon and Syria to Oman and Saudi Arabia. Joining him in creating this vision is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is slated to visit the White House on Monday. While there are potentially many obstacles to enacting this U.S./Israeli plan, it is clear that one focus is to quash any Palestinian aspirations for freedom.

DRAD Seeks Answers About US Government Role In ‘Slaughter Masquerading As Humanitarian Aid’

July 3, 2025 Defending Rights & Dissent. , , , , , , , , ,
Yesterday, Defending Rights & Dissent filed two Freedom of Information Act requests to uncover details about the U.S. government’s relationship with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the shadowy private aid group that has been mired in controversy since announcing efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza in early May. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) published a statement which declared that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution effort “is a slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid.” The first FOIA request seeks internal State Department reports and communications about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, as well as the U.S. government’s communications with Israel about the organization.

Profiting From Genocide

War is a business. So is genocide. The latest report submitted by Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, lists 48 corporations and institutions, including Palantir Technologies Inc., Lockheed Martin, Alphabet Inc., Amazon, International Business Machine Corporation (IBM), Caterpillar Inc., Microsoft Corporation and Massachusetts Institue of Technology (MIT), along with banks and financial firms such as Blackrock, insurers, real estate firms and charities, which in violation of international law are making billions from the occupation and the genocide of Palestinians.

Mike Ferner, of Veterans For Peace, threw blood at the US mission to the UN today: “Here, United States, have some blood! You like shedding it all over the world so much? There you go! How about some blood? A small amount of the blood — the blood money — that corporations make taking us to war all the time. No. More. Killing. Please. Stop it.” He and 28 others were reportedly arrested today. He had been participated in #FastForGaza Most arrests took place at the Israeli mission to the UN where a mass action was. Joy Metzler, co-founder of Servicemembers For Ceasefire, was among those arrested there.

1,500 Israeli Soldiers Will Attend Jewish Summer Camps In North America

July 1, 2025 Aaron Kreuter, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
It’s June, which means a similar scene is playing out at tens of thousands of Jewish houses across the continent. Duffel bags dug up from basements. Toiletries laid out on carpeted floors, emergency trips to the drug store for one final item. Last-minute clothing decisions. Bags of carefully curated candy. Tearful midnight goodbyes to school friends. For so many of us Jewish North Americans, the summers of our younger years mean one thing: sleepover camp. Unfortunately, it’s not just Jewish kids, teenagers, and twenty-somethings getting ready to go to one of the hundreds of Jewish camps in North America.

United States Approves $510 Million Arms Deal For Israel

July 1, 2025 Dave DeCamp, News From Antiwar.com. , , , , , ,
The Trump administration has approved a new arms deal for Israel that will provide the country with $510 million worth of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMS), kits that turn bombs into precision-guided weapons, as the US continues to provide military aid to support the genocidal war in Gaza. According to the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the State Department notified Congress of the sale of 3,845 JDAMS for 2,000-pound BLU-109 bombs and 3,280 JDAMS for 500-pound MK 82 bombs. The deal also includes US “government and contractor engineering, logistics, and technical support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.”

Over 170 NGOs Urge End To US–Israeli ‘Aid Traps’ In Gaza

July 1, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
More than 170 international NGOs, including Oxfam, Save the Children, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, and the Norwegian Refugee Council, issued a joint declaration on 1 July in Geneva calling for an immediate end to the US-Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). According to medical authorities in Gaza, over 550 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured near GHF aid distribution sites and transport routes since the foundation began operating in late May. The statement warned that “Palestinians in Gaza face an impossible choice: starve or risk being shot while trying desperately to reach food to feed their families.”

Chris Hedges: Gaza’s Hunger Games

June 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , , ,
Israel’s weaponization of starvation is how genocides always end. I covered the insidious effects of orchestrated starvation in the Guatemalan Highlands during the genocidal campaign of Gen. Efraín Ríos Montt, the famine in southern Sudan that left a quarter of a million dead — I walked past the frail and skeletal corpses of families lining roadsides — and later during the war in Bosnia when Serbs cut off food supplies to enclaves such as Srebrencia and Goražde. Starvation was weaponized by the Ottoman Empire to decimate the Armenians. It was used to kill millions of Ukrainians in the Holodomor in 1932 and 1933.

Artists Speak Up Against Genocide In Gaza At Europe’s Music Festivals

June 30, 2025 Ana Vračar, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
As Europe’s summer music festival season rolls out, mainstream media and governments are struggling to keep Palestine solidarity off the stage. In its coverage of Glastonbury Festival, the BBC focused on censoring the Irish rap group Kneecap over their staunch pro-Palestinian stance – only to be met by a wave of artists who used their platform to call for a free Palestine and to demand broadcasters share real news about the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Among them was the British duo Bob Vylan, who led the crowd in chanting “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF,” denouncing war crimes committed by the Israeli army, including the starvation of children and the killing of civilians in humanitarian aid lines.

Chris Hedges Report: Starvation And Profiteering In Gaza

June 26, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , , ,
There is not much more that can be said about the unfathomable levels of devastation the genocide in Gaza has reached. Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, has been chronicling the genocide and joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to shed light on the current situation in Gaza, including parts from her upcoming report on the profiteers of the genocide. Israel’s siege on the Palestinians is leaving the population starving, and Albanese lambasts other nations for not stepping up and completing their obligations under international law.

‘We Need More Angry Young Women’ To End Israeli Genocide Of Gaza

June 26, 2025 Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Climate Activist and Gaza Flotilla volunteer Greta Thunberg’s response to Trump’s assertion that she needs anger management. After arriving at a Paris airport on June 10, 2025, four hours after she was deported from Israel following the illegal Israeli commando interception in international waters of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla sailboat Madleen, tired, sleep deprived climate and Palestinian activist Greta Thunberg responded  to a reporter’s question of her response to President Donald Trump’s comment that she was “an angry young woman who needed anger management.” Thunberg shrugged off Trump’s attempted disparagement with a jab right back at the bully President: “Considering the state of the world, I think we need many more angry young women.”
