Anthony Aguilar Wins Sam Adams Award For Integrity

December 24, 2025 Sam Adams Associates For Integrity In Intelligence, Consortium News. , , , ,
We are honored to give this year’s award to Anthony Aguilar (LTC, USA, ret.) for exposing some of the more egregious brutalities of the genocide in Gaza, including the U.S. role. Asked why he has spoken out about what he witnessed — like the corralling of starving people into four distribution sites and sometimes shooting them indiscriminately. Aguilar explained, when “I hung up my uniform. I didn’t hang up my oath to the Constitution.” A 25-year Army Special Forces veteran, Aguilar agreed to work with the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” with the thought that “there is nothing more Christian than feeding the hungry.”

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) announces the launch of its Spring 2026 mission, a historic escalation in civilian-led maritime action to break the illegal blockade of Gaza. Moving beyond previous aid delivery efforts, this mission represents a strategic shift toward a sustained civilian presence and the establishment of a replicable model grounded in international law and Palestinian leadership. A primary focus of the 2026 mission is the deployment of a specialized medical fleet. Carrying more than 1,000 healthcare professionals and stocked with life-saving medicines and equipment, this fleet aims to stabilize Gaza's healthcare system and support the efforts of local medical teams who have endured two years of genocide.

Winter In Gaza

November 12, 2025 Kathy Kelly, World Beyond War. , , , , ,
On Saturday, 8 November, 2025, Dan Perry wrote in The Jerusalem Post about Israel’s projected lifting of the media blockade on Gaza. Perry laments that Israeli censorship has left all reporting of the atrocity in the hands of Palestinians, who refuse to be silent. To date, Israel has assassinated over 240 Palestinian journalists. Perry writes: “The High Court ruled last week that the government must consider allowing foreign journalists into Gaza but also granted a one-month extension due to the still-unclear situation in the Strip.” He asserts that Israel had and has no motive for excluding foreign journalists save concern for their own protection.

US Replaces Israel As ‘Overseer’ Of Gaza Aid Deliveries

November 10, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The US-led Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC), established by Washington last month, is replacing Israel as the “overseer” of humanitarian aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip, the Washington Post reported. According to informed sources, the first weeks of operations have been “chaotic and indecisive.” A US official said Israel remains “part of the conversation” but overall decisions will be made by the new center, established weeks ago in Kiryat Gat – a city just north of the besieged strip. “The move relegates Israel to a secondary role in determining how and what humanitarian relief can enter Gaza as CMCC takes the lead,” other familiar sources told the outlet. More than 40 countries are participating in the US-led center.

The Only Sane Response To A Dystopian World Is To Have Radical Imagination

November 2, 2025 Caoimhe Butterly, Hot Press. , , , ,
At sunrise in Gaza, fifteen years ago, a group of fishermen prepared their nets to set sail. Restricted to six nautical miles from shore by the recently imposed and illegal Israeli naval blockade, members of the Abu Bakr family, a fisherfolk clan from Al Shaati refugee camp, spoke of the sea as giver and taker of life. It was weeks after the Cast Lead bombardment had stopped, a brief pause post massacre. We had accompanied Gazan ambulance services, working alongside committed and courageous paramedics as they responded to the devastation. A small, disparate group of international volunteers, trying to act as humble, hoped-for deterrence to the systematic targeting of Palestinian healthcare workers and bombing of ambulances.

Hurricane Melissa Relief: An Urgent Message From The Peoples Forum

October 30, 2025 The People's Forum, Resumen English. , , , ,
Right now, the people of Cuba are facing an unprecedented crisis: crippling electrical blackouts, the relentless weight of the U.S. blockade, and now the arrival of Hurricane Melissa. We are sending urgently-needed food, clean water, and supplies to the island—and we need your help This hurricane is not merely a severe storm; it is a catastrophic event that has shredded infrastructure and left entire communities in life-threatening conditions. But this natural disaster is amplified exponentially by a man-made catastrophe. For over six decades, the U.S. blockade has choked the Cuban economy, preventing access to essential goods, medicines, and the materials needed for recovery. This policy of strangulation has been devastatingly intensified by measures put in place under the Trump administration and championed by figures like Marco Rubio.

International Court Of Justice Condemns Israel’s Restrictions On Humanitarian Aid

October 23, 2025 Andy Worthington. , , , , ,
On the same day that the Israeli Knesset gave “preliminary approval to a bill to impose Israeli sovereignty on the occupied West Bank”, as Al Jazeera described it, accurately calling it “a move tantamount to annexation of the Palestinian territory, which would be a blatant violation of international law”, over 3,300 km away, in the Hague, the International Court of Justice delivered a blistering condemnation of Israel’s existing failures to “fulfil its obligations under international humanitarian law” as the occupying Power in the Occupied Palestinian Territory; namely, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, first occupied in 1967.

Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah, said on Thursday that Yemen will be “monitoring” Israel’s compliance with the Gaza ceasefire deal, warning Yemeni support for the Palestinians in Gaza would continue if the deal isn’t implemented. “We must be at the highest levels of caution and readiness, and continue the massive popular momentum with the Palestinian people, until we determine whether the agreement will be achieved, or whether we will continue our path of support and assistance to the Palestinian people,” al-Houthi said, according to Yemen’s SABA news agency. “We will remain vigilant, prepared, and monitor the progress of the agreement. Will it lead to an end to the aggression on the Gaza Strip and the entry of aid, food, medicine, and humanitarian needs to the Palestinian people?"

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) confirms that Israel continues to illegally imprison and abuse many international human rights defenders at Ktzi’ot Prison in the Naqab (Negev) desert. This follows the Israeli occupation’s illegal and violent attack and pirating of the FFC and Thousand Madleens to Gaza (TMTG) flotilla on October 8, 2025, 120 nautical miles (220 km) from Gaza in international waters, and the forcible transfer of nine vessels and 145 international volunteers from over 25 countries to Ashdod Port. Adalah attorneys continue to receive reports of aggressive and violent conduct by the Israeli forces during and following Israel’s unlawful interception of their vessels, as well as appalling detention conditions, including inadequate access to drinking water and in some instances, physical and verbal abuse. Hearings began without legal representation in a clear denial of access to legal counsel.

Second Wave Of Flotillas Are Heading For Gaza Now

October 5, 2025 US Army Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
n the past three months, citizens around the world have participated in dramatic challenges to the horrific Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza with over 66,000 known dead and at least a hundred thousand souls under the rubble, most of whom are women and children. The genocide includes the destruction of virtually all food and food distribution systems, hospitals and clinics, schools and universities, water and sanitation facilities and a huge amount of the housing for 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza. For the past 18 years, the Gaza Freedom Flotilla Coalition has used ships to attempt to carry citizens from all over the world to Gaza in a non-violent challenge to the genocidal violence of the Israeli government and the illegal Israeli naval blockade of Gaza. 

Arab Grassroots Decry Israel’s Flagrant ‘Piracy’ Against Flotilla

October 3, 2025 Aseel Saleh, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
Day after day, Israel grows more and more audacious in its quest to impose its hegemony not only over the West Asia region, but also over the entire world, violating land, air, and international waters alike. Hundreds of peaceful international activists aboard over 40 civilian vessels were subjected to a brutal act of piracy on the high seas, just 75 miles away from the Gaza coast. Their boats were loaded with life-saving humanitarian aid for the forcibly-starved two-million-person population in the Gaza Strip. The activists were kidnapped and the ships were forcibly steered towards Israeli ports. Few governments took any action to prevent the mass abduction from happening. The interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla is a grave crime, which revealed that many Western countries are indifferent to the lives of their citizens when the offender is Israel.
