Global Sumud Flotilla Boats Attacked By Israeli Drones

September 24, 2025 Colonel (Retired) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
As the Israeli government continues unabated its horrific genocide of Palestinians and the destruction of housing and infrastructure in Gaza, in the third attack on the 42-ship Global Sumud flotilla, drones attacked multiple boats in international waters south-west of the Greek island of Crete, this morning September 24, 2025. In May 2025, another flotilla ship, the Conscience, was attacked in international waters off Malta. It  was damaged by Israeli bombs that blew holes in the deck of the ship’s bow causing severe damage in the hold in the bow of the ship.

Italy Redirects Navy Ship To Assist Global Sumud Flotilla After Attacks

September 24, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
Italy’s Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said in a statement on 24 September that an Italian navy ship has been redirected towards the Global Sumud Flotilla to provide it with “possible assistance,” after it came under a series of Israeli attacks overnight. The Italian defense minister strongly condemned the overnight drone attacks. Activists on board several of the flotilla’s boats reported at least 10 explosions after witnessing drones launch several attacks early on Wednesday. The boats were situated off the coast of Greece. “Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed, and explosions heard from a number of boats. We are witnessing these psychological operations firsthand, right now, but we will not be intimidated,” Global Sumud Flotilla said.

Can The United Nations General Assembly End Israel’s Occupation?

September 16, 2025 Mona Ali Khalil, Consortium News. , , , ,
With illegal settlements rising and settler violence surging in the West Bank and with famine and relentless bombing killing more than 64,000 Palestinians in Gaza so far, most of them women and children, the world is looking to see what, if anything, the General Assembly can do to ensure that there are meaningful consequences for Israel’s blatant violations of the Geneva Conventions and the Genocide Convention. Just days before the Sept. 18 deadline established by the United Nations General Assembly for Israel to comply with the advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice, in which it confirmed the unlawful nature of the Israeli occupation, annexation and settlement of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), Israel has failed to comply.

Venezuela Denounces US Navy For Illegal Boarding Of Fishing Boat

September 14, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Venezuela reported that a US destroyer illegally boarded a Venezuelan fishing boat carrying nine fishermen and detained them for eight hours. According to the Venezuelan statement, issued on Saturday, September 13, the vessel was in Venezuelan waters, “48 nautical miles from Blanquilla Island.” The incident occurred on Friday, September 12, in Venezuela’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Under international law, an EEZ is a maritime area adjacent to a country’s territorial sea, extending up to 200 nautical miles from the baseline. The coastal state has sovereign rights to explore, utilize and preserve natural resources there, and has jurisdiction over economic and research activities in the region.

SanctionsKill Demands An End To US Aggression Against Venezuela

September 12, 2025 Sanctions Kill, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
We condemn the escalating US attacks on Venezuela that have been ongoing since the Bolivarian Revolution began in 1998, including pressuring the country to bend to US interests through the imposition of unilateral coercive measures (“sanctions”) since 2015. These illegal measures are deliberately designed to cause inhumane suffering to destabilize the country and compel regime change. It has always been clear that the sanctions on Venezuela are a ploy to gain access to the country’s vast natural resources, including the world’s largest oil reserves. While the coercive measures imposed on Venezuela “succeeded” in causing over 100,000 excess deaths, the imperial objective of regime change was thwarted by President Nicolás Maduro in concert with the people of the country and in firm alliance with their military.

Israeli War Chief Vows To Strike Enemies ‘Wherever They Are’

September 11, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on 10 September that Tel Aviv will strike at “enemies” wherever they are in the world, one day after an illegal Israeli airstrike that failed to assassinate senior leaders of Hamas in Qatar. Referring to the attack, dubbed “Operation Summit of Fire,” Katz said, “Israel's security policy is clear – Israel’s long arm will act against its enemies wherever they may be.” “There is no place where they can hide,” the defense minister went on to say. “Everyone who was involved in the 7 October massacre will be held fully accountable. Anyone who engages in terrorism against Israel will be targeted."

Why The SanctionsKill Campaign Supports BDS

September 9, 2025 Jill Clark-Gollub, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
The SanctionsKill campaign was formed in 2019 to raise awareness of the human cost of the “sanctions”—actually economic coercive measures—imposed by the United States and its allies on over 40 countries, in which one-third of humanity lives. Our coalition of grassroots activists has exposed the suffering and death caused to populations targeted with these measures, particularly among children, the elderly, and people with health conditions. We also strongly support the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement advanced by Palestinian civil society as a legitimate way for grassroots activists around the world to pressure the settler-colonial state of Israel to comply with international law and recognize the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination.  

Kathmandu Declaration Of The IADL

September 4, 2025 International Association of Democratic Lawyers. , , , ,
The 19th Congress of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL) held in Kathmandu on the theme: “The Role of Democratic Lawyers in Promoting and Defending Peoples’ Rights, Peace and International Law in the Face of Fascism, Genocide, Militarization and Wars of Aggression” has been a vibrant forum for lawyers and jurists from around the world to come together in mutual understanding and collective work towards full implementation of the principles of the United Nations Charter. Together we reaffirm our commitment to work for a world with peace; without wars, conflicts, oppression or repression, poverty and hunger; and with full respect for justice, equality and human dignity. We reiterate our support for the creation of a just international economic order based on the interest of the whole people and not of the few.

On The Ethics Of Embedding With Génocidaires

August 28, 2025 The Public Source Editorial Committee, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , , , ,
On Sunday, August 10, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a dramatic announcement: After 674 days of barring foreign media from Gaza, Israel was planning to begin staging guided tours, under Israeli military control, for embedded members of the foreign press. “We have decided, and have ordered, directed the military, to bring in foreign journalists—more foreign journalists, a lot,” said Israel’s premier, in a rambling, paranoid half-hour press conference—staged, he said, to dispel “the global campaign of lies” against Israel. “There’s a problem with assuring security, but I think it can be done in a way that is responsible and careful to preserve your own safety.

White ‘Supremacy’s’ Subjective Identification Of War Criminals Reveals Deeper Psychopathology

August 22, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , ,
Last week the world witnessed the geopolitical spectacle that took place in Anchorage, Alaska when Presidents Trump and Putin met to discuss ending the feckless, unnecessary, and fossil-fueled war between the Russian Federation and Ukraine that’s been ongoing for three years. Unsurprisingly, the three hour discussion between the leaders led to no comprehensive agreement that would, in Trump’s words, “stop the killing.” However, while the Trump/Putin meeting failed to result in an armistice, it did elucidate profound hypocrisies and revealed that when it comes to who is considered a war criminal it largely depends on who the victims are.  

Could Poor Countries Hold The US Accountable For Climate Chaos?

August 20, 2025 Basav Sen, In These Times. , , ,
The verdict is in: Rich countries can be held responsible for their contributions to climate change. And that decision could leave the United States more isolated than ever. In late July, the UN’s highest court — the International Court of Justice (ICJ)—unanimously ruled that countries have an obligation to prevent catastrophic climate change by transitioning from fossil fuels and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The ruling specifically condemned governments that subsidize fossil fuels and license their expansion — and said that these actions may make states liable for harmful climate impacts. In the last year, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) and International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) have made similar rulings. The overarching conclusion: mainstream global institutions are calling for an end to fossil fuels.

Twenty-Four US-Allied Nations Urge Israel To Lift All Restrictions On Aid

August 14, 2025 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , , , , ,
Twenty-four US-allied nations and three senior EU officials have signed a joint statement calling for Israel to lift all restrictions on aid entering the Gaza Strip, warning that the Israeli-imposed famine has reached “unimaginable levels.” The statement, published by the British Foreign Ministry, comes as Palestinians continue to starve to death every day in Gaza due to the US-backed Israeli blockade. “The humanitarian suffering in Gaza has reached unimaginable levels. Famine is unfolding before our eyes. Urgent action is needed now to halt and reverse starvation. Humanitarian space must be protected, and aid should never be politicized,” the statement reads.

Zionist Shakedown

August 8, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
It is rare for the peoples of the world to be of one mind, to have unanimity of opinion on any subject, yet we are seeing that phenomenon take place right now. There is very little disagreement over whether or not the United States backed regime in Israel is committing war crimes and genocide. Millions of people have protested on the streets, conducted boycotts, and urged their governments to join in condemnation of Israel at the International Court of Justice and at the United Nations. It is no exaggeration to say that there were feelings of joy around the world when the International Criminal Court (ICC) finally issued an arrest warrant for prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

New Report: US Economic Wars Kill Over 560,000 People Every Year

August 4, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , ,
The Lancet, a renowned medical journal, recently published a groundbreaking report on the number of people who die each year as a result of economic sanctions primarily imposed by the United States. US economic wars have killed more than 560,000 people each year for the past ten years, over half of those killed are children five years of age and younger. This number is higher than the number of people who die in military conflicts. Clearing the FOG speaks with Sara Flounders, a co-founder of the Sanctions Kill campaign, about what sanctions are, how they kill, and why the United States wages economic warfare.

Report Reveals Israel’s Intimidation Campaign Against ICC Chief

August 3, 2025 Press TV, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
An investigative report has uncovered an intensifying intimidation campaign targeting British ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, revealing extraordinary details of threats and warnings aimed at forcing him to drop the probe into Israeli war crimes in Gaza. The report published by the Middle East Eye (MEE) on Friday revealed that Khan has been warned to withdraw arrest warrants for the Israeli regime’s leadership over the occupying entity’s genocidal war crimes in Gaza, or he and the top tribunal would be “destroyed.” According to the report, the warning was delivered in May to Khan by Nicholas Kaufman, a British-Israeli defense lawyer linked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s adviser, during a meeting with Khan and his wife, Shyamala Alagendra, at a hotel in The Hague.
