Genocide

The Absurd Excuse Notre Dame Gave Me When They Canceled My Talk

Mary E. Gallagher, dean of the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame, wrote University of Chicago Professor and In These Times columnist Eman Abdelhadi on Saturday morning to tell her that her upcoming keynote speech was canceled. “We were unaware of your planned lecture, and since this conference overlaps with two other annual events on campus, we cannot provide security at short notice,” Gallagher wrote in an email. ​“For this reason, we respectfully request that you do not participate in the conference.” Abdelhadi is a widely celebrated academic, organizer, author and journalist. She frequently speaks on campuses across the country and from 2023-24 was a faculty fellow at Notre Dame.

United Kingdom Lawyers To Charge 10 Britons For Gaza War Crimes

A leading UK human rights lawyer is set to submit a war crimes complaint to the Metropolitan police against 10 British citizens who served with the Israeli army in Gaza. Michael Mansfield KC will hand the 240-page complaint to the police department’s war crimes unit on 7 April. It cites Israel’s targeted killing of civilians and humanitarian aid workers, as well as airstrikes on hospitals and densely populated civilian neighborhoods. It also includes the targeting of religious sites and historic monuments. The documents were prepared by British lawyers and researchers from The Hague. The names of the 10 Britons in question have not been made public.

Pro-Palestinian Protesters Interrupt Microsoft’s 50th Anniversary Event

A pro-Palestinian protest by Microsoft employees has interrupted the company’s 50th anniversary celebration, the latest backlash over the tech industry’s work to supply artificial intelligence technology to the Israeli military. The protest began on Friday as Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman was presenting product updates and a long-term vision for the company’s AI assistant product, Copilot, to an audience that included Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and former CEO Steve Ballmer. “Mustafa, shame on you,” shouted Microsoft employee Ibtihal Aboussad as she walked towards the stage and Suleyman paused his speech.

New Video Evidence Disputes Israeli Army’s Account Of Medic Killings

New video evidence relating to the killing of 15 Palestinian rescue workers by Israeli forces has emerged, contradicting the Israeli account of the attack on a medical convoy in Rafah last week. The footage, which was retrieved from a phone belonging to one of the medics who was killed, shows the Israeli army attacking clearly marked Red Crescent ambulances that had their emergency signal lights on, and emergency medical workers wearing reflective vests. Officials from the Palestine Red Crescent Society said in a news conference on Friday at the United Nations headquarters that they had presented the nearly seven-minute recording to the UN Security Council.

Congress, Trump Administration Use Weapons And Threats To Continue Israel’s War

US senators voted 82-15 and 83-15 on 3 April to reject two resolutions of disapproval regarding Washington's massive arms transfers and other military assistance to Israel. The resolutions were offered by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and received the support of only 15 out of 45 Democrats in the Senate. “The United States must end our complicity in these atrocities, we cannot be part of this any longer,” Sanders said in a video he released on Wednesday. Sanders has presented four resolutions since January 2024 to end or freeze US arms transfers to Israel, with none of them passing a vote on the Senate floor.

Gaza Endures Intense Israeli Bombing As Ground Troops Return To Shujaiya

Israeli ground forces advanced into the eastern Shujaiya neighbourhood of Gaza City on Thursday amid heavy carpet bombing across the besieged enclave. The Israeli military said its troops began operations in Shujaiya in northern Gaza to "deepen control" and expand the so-called "security zone", according to a statement on X. It claimed to target "several militants" and "Hamas infrastructure", saying that troops were facilitating civilian evacuations from the conflict zone. Despite these claims, local media reports indicate that the majority of victims have been children, women and the elderly.

Yemen Is Acting Responsibly To Stop Genocide; The US Is Bombing Them For It

The U.S. is bombing Yemen because Yemen is acting, as required by international law, to stop the genocide and unlawful siege in Palestine. This is not an editorial opinion. It is a statement of both law and fact. Neither of these facts has been featured in the reporting or commentary of Western media corporations, let alone in the statements of perpetrator governments like the U.S. Because to perpetrate a genocide in plain sight requires the suppression of the truth and the obscuring of the law. But international law is clear.

We Have To Mobilize In Even Greater Numbers Than Ever Before

As the Trump administration escalates attacks on the pro-Palestine student movement and Israel continues the genocide in Gaza in full force, thousands are expected to partake in a mass demonstration for Palestine on April 5 in Washington DC, undeterred by repression. Trump’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced that he has signed off on the revocation of over 300 student visas for reasons related to pro-Palestine protest activity, raising alarms about free speech violations. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa,” Rubio said at a press conference in Guyana on Thursday.

They’re All Going to Hell For The Genocide Of Gaza

Every single one of them ….who participated in the US and Israeli genocide of Gaza …..are going to hell! I’m not much of a believer in hell but I sure as hell hope there is one now... because a lot of people need to go there. What the Israeli politicians and military have done to Gaza with the complicity of United States Presidents, the US Congress and US military is deserving of going to hell!! I hope every one of the souls of the children killed by US bombs dropped by the Israeli military will visit every one of the perpetrators of the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. 

Government Forces Carry Out New Civilian Executions In Syria’s Coast

At least six people were killed and several others from the Alawite community were wounded on 31 March in a new civilian massacre in Harf B-Nimra village, located in Syria's Tartous governorate. According to local reports, armed men wearing military uniforms entered the village in Baniyas countryside and executed the Mukhtar (the village elder), his son, and five other men. “The gunmen set off from Al-Desaynah base, a former camp of the [disbanded Syrian Arab Army], in Baniyas countryside. The attackers carried out that attack and returned to the base where forces of the ministries of defense and interior are stationed,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Monday.

Schools Are No Place For The ADL

Although the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has long portrayed itself as a champion of civil rights, this has been undermined by its unconditional support for Israel and its efforts to weaponize antisemitism against Israel’s critics. As those fighting racism increasingly embrace the cause for Palestinian human rights, the ADL has moved further away from its commitment to racial justice. As a former ADL education director Danielle Bryant wrote in the New York Daily News: I watched from the inside as the ADL erased racial justice from its civil rights priorities, caved to pressure from conservative media for being “too woke,” and quietly abandoned core education programs. The shift began with an internal pause on its use of the word “racism”. . . .

Alawites And Christians: Behind Syria’s Silent, Sectarian Slaughter

The massacres and repression of Alawites and Christians in Syria began immediately after the fall of Damascus and have continued for the past three and a half months. On 7 December 2024, the day after the capital city fell to Idlib-based militants, Israel began bombing Syrian territory and deployed tanks into the country's south. Yet the barrels of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its affiliated Salafi extremist groups – who had taken control of Damascus – were not pointed at Israel, but at Syria's Alawite population. What began as attacks on Alawite and Christian religious sites quickly turned into the systematic slaughter of Alawites.

The Far-Right Hate Group Helping Trump Deport Israel’s Critics

A far-right, pro-Israel group with a history of support for terror and genocide is working closely with the Trump administration, preparing dossiers on thousands of pro-Palestine figures it wants deported from the United States. Betar U.S. is known to have had several meetings with senior government officials and has claimed credit for the arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of the nationwide anti-genocide student demonstrations that began at Columbia University last year. Ross Glick, the group’s executive director until last month, noted that he met with a diverse set of influential lawmakers, including Democratic senator John Fetterman and aides to the Republican senators Ted Cruz and James Lankford.

‘I Will Wear My Persona Non Grata As A Badge Of Dignity’

Cheering crowds thronged outside the Cape Town International Airport on Sunday, March 23, to welcome the South African ambassador expelled from the US after being subjected to repeated attacks for his stance in solidarity with Palestine. “Ebrahim Rasool is a race-baiting politician who hates America,” US State Secretary Marco Rubio accused in a X post on March 15. “We have nothing to discuss with him and so he is considered PERSONA NON-GRATA,” Rubio added, sharing the alt-right Breitbart News report on the academic observations Rasool had made on the white supremacist character of the “MAGA movement” in a webinar hosted by a South African think tank.

Chris Hedges: The Last Chapter Of The Genocide

This is the last chapter of the genocide. It is the final, blood-soaked push to drive the Palestinians from Gaza. No food. No medicine. No shelter. No clean water. No electricity. Israel is swiftly turning Gaza into a Dantesque cauldron of human misery where Palestinians are being killed in their hundreds and soon, again, in their thousands and tens of thousands, or they will be forced out never to return. The final chapter marks the end of Israeli lies. The lie of the two-state solution. The lie that Israel respects the laws of war that protect civilians. The lie that Israel bombs hospitals and schools only because they are used as staging areas by Hamas.
