November 17, 2024 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Iraq's State of Law coalition revealed on 16 November that Israel is under “strong pressure” from the US to prevent any response to ongoing operations in support of Palestine by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI). "There is pressure from the United States of America on the Zionist entity to prevent it from carrying out any strikes against Iraq, for fear of straining the relationship between Baghdad and Washington, especially since there is a joint security agreement between the two countries, and for this reason, America is putting strong pressure on the entity," Saad al-Muttalibi, a senior member of the coalition told Shafaq News.

End Of Empathy: Did The Gaza Genocide Render The UN Irrelevant?

November 15, 2024 Ramzy Baroud, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Francesca Albanese did not mince her words. In a strongly worded speech at the United Nations General Assembly Third Committee on 29 October, the UN Special Rapporteur deviated from the typical line of other UN officials. She directed her statements to those in attendance. “Is it possible that after 42,000 people killed, you cannot empathise with the Palestinians?” Albanese said in her statement about the need to “recognise (Israel’s war on Gaza) as a genocide”. “Those of you who have not uttered a word about what is happening in Gaza demonstrate that empathy has evaporated from this room,” she added.

Israel’s Genocide Day 401: Israel Continues Gaza Ethnic Cleansing

November 12, 2024 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
Accusations of Israel committing ethnic cleansing have increased after an Israeli army general admitted that Israeli forces have “evacuated” most of the residents of Beit Lahia, Jabalia and al-Atatra in the north of the strip, and that they will not be allowed back. On Monday, the EU chief diplomat, Josep Borrell Fontelles, said that the term of “ethnic cleansing” is increasingly used to describe what is going on in the north in the north of Gaza. Borrell’s remarks on ‘X’ came a day after the Israeli daily Haaretz published an editorial, saying “the Israeli military is conducting an ethnic cleansing operation in the northern Gaza Strip.”

Meet The US Soldiers And Bureaucrats Defecting Over Gaza

November 12, 2024 Chris Lombardi, Waging Nonviolence. , , , , , ,
As the crisis in the Middle East rages on, a growing movement is confronting U.S. funding of Israel’s wars — including a perhaps-surprising number of those once charged with enforcing U.S. policies. Some are military veterans, while others worked for the State Department and other federal agencies. Such resistance is critical to any nonviolent revolution, says Erica Chenoweth, co-author of “Why Civil Resistance Works.” Chenoweth describes such “defections” as foundational to any hope of real change; dissent by the government’s enforcers — security forces, civilian bureaucrats — show cracks in a regime’s powers.

The majority of the casualties in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip have been women and children, according to a report released on 8 November by the UN Human Rights Office. According to the report, nearly 70 percent of the confirmed number of dead are women and children, which “demonstrates an apparent indifference to the death of civilians and the impact of the means and methods of warfare selected.” It also marks a “a systematic violation of the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law,” the report said. It notes that 80 percent of the deaths took place in residential buildings or in homes.
