Arab-Islamic Leaders Gather In Doha To Reject Israeli ‘Treachery’

Qatar hosted on 15 September an emergency Arab-Islamic summit aimed at rejecting Israel’s recent attack on Doha, which targeted Hamas leaders as they were meeting to discuss a US ceasefire proposal for Gaza. The summit consisted of members of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was among several regional leaders who attended the meeting on Monday. “The capital of my country was subjected to a treacherous attack targeting a residence housing families of Hamas leaders and its negotiating delegation,” Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani said while addressing the summit. Al-Thani said the “terrorist attack” was “cowardly” and “despicable,” adding that Israel’s plans to “impose new realities” on the Arabs were “dangerous,” stressing that these plans “will not pass.”

Global Sumud Flotilla Sets Out On Last Leg Of Journey To Gaza

The Global Sumud Flotilla, carrying critical aid to Gaza, began the final leg of its planned route after departing ports across Tunisia this weekend. The first of over 40 boats now at sea left Gammarth port on Saturday, with the final boat departing Bizerte on Monday morning. One week after arriving in Tunis, 16 of the fleet’s original 24 boats resumed their journey east from Barcelona, carrying aid and international passengers in a bid to open a humanitarian corridor and break Israel’s siege on Gaza, which is illegal under international law. At least 422 people in Gaza have died from malnutrition caused by Israel’s blockade, since famine was declared in August.

Massive Pro-Palestine Protests Shut Down Spain’s La Vuelta Race

The final stretch of the Vuelta a Espana road cycling race was abandoned in Madrid on 14 September after over 100,000 pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted routes and forced organizers to call off the event. Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard was declared the winner as police struggled to contain the demonstrations, overwhelmed by their large numbers. “The race is over,” a spokesperson for the organizers told Reuters after barriers were overturned and crowds moved onto the course.  More than 1,000 officers were deployed across the capital, but confrontations escalated as protesters threw water bottles and other objects at police, chanting “It's a genocide, not a war,” and the police responded with tear gas.

The Doha Assassination Plot, Emergency Summit, And Trump’s Double-Cross

Last week’s failed assassination attempt of the Palestinian negotiating team in Doha, Qatar, raises critical questions that extend far beyond the attack itself. The crux of the problem lies in three interconnected issues: the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in targeting individuals, the failure, or deliberate negligence, of the US-led air defense system, and Qatar’s vulnerable position as a host to both a major US base and the ceasefire negotiations. The use of AI will be the topic of a future analysis. Meanwhile, the raid on Qatar did not happen in isolation. The skies over Doha are monitored by the American Air Base in Al Udeid, the largest US military installation in the Middle East. This base is not a marginal outpost; it is the forward headquarters for US Central Command, USCENTCOM, overseeing US military operations throughout the Middle East.

Israeli Strikes Leave 50,000 Homeless In Gaza

Since dawn on Sunday, Israeli occupation forces have killed 31 Palestinians, including aid workers, in a series of airstrikes and ground assaults across the Gaza Strip.  Local officials said that at least 50,000 people were made homeless following Israeli evacuation orders that forced residents to flee south along Rashid Al-Bahri Street. The attacks come as Israel presses ahead with its nearly two-year genocidal war on Gaza, marked by attempts to reoccupy Gaza City and forcibly displace its residents. Hospitals across the Strip reported dozens of casualties. Al-Quds Hospital confirmed seven people were killed in strikes on the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood in southern Gaza City, while 20 others were wounded by Israeli fire on Street 8. Emergency services reported four deaths in a strike on a displacement tent at Palestine Stadium, west of Gaza City. 

Display Of ‘Humiliation’: Israeli Army Detains Over 1,000 Palestinians

Israeli forces arrested at least 1,000 Palestinians in a single day on Thursday during a wide-ranging raid on Tulkarem in the northern West Bank, Abdullah Kamil, the governor of the Tulkarem area, told local media. The raid came following a roadside bomb attack on an armored Israeli military vehicle earlier in the day, taking place near a checkpoint outside the city. The attack wounded two Israeli soldiers, according to the Israeli army radio. Kamil added that Israeli forces imposed a total closure on Tulkarem and conducted a campaign of home searches across the city, describing it as a “systematic policy.” The explosion that targeted the armored vehicle as it exited Checkpoint 104, west of Tulkarem, was the first armed Palestinian action in the northern West Bank since the Israeli army forcibly expelled the residents of the refugee camps of Tulkarem and Jenin from their homes earlier this year.

Universities Worldwide Sever Ties With Israeli Academia, Netherlands To Boycott Eurovision

Universities and scholarly associations across Europe and South America have announced suspensions of cooperation with Israeli institutions, citing their role in aiding the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, The Guardian reported on 13 September. Trinity College Dublin announced this summer that it was ending collaboration with Israeli partners. Meanwhile, the Federal University of Ceará in Brazil had already canceled a planned innovation summit with an Israeli university last year. Similar actions were announced by institutions in Norway, Belgium, and Spain. The University of Amsterdam confirmed it was terminating its student exchange with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The European Association of Social Anthropologists also said it would refuse cooperation with Israeli bodies and called on its members to follow the same path.

Global Sumud Flotilla Vows To Continue Mission Despite Attacks

Activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla vow to continue their mission to set sail to Gaza, insisting nothing will stop them from breaking Israel’s blockade and bringing aid to Gaza. Members of the Flotilla have reported two suspected drone attacks on their boats while docked in Tunisian waters. Still, the first wave of Flotilla ships departed the Sidi Bou Said port in Tunisia where they were stationed on the night of September 11, and the rest are set to depart on September 12. “We know who has interest in stopping these flotillas, in stopping this mission to Gaza,” Mariana Mortágua, a member of the Portuguese Parliament who joined the Global Sumud Flotilla, told Democracy Now!, indicating that Israel had a role in the attacks on the ships.

Somalia Resistance Targets US AFRICOM Base Over Gaza Genocide

The Somalia resistance group Al-Shabaab issued a statement on Sept. 4 claiming responsibility for an attack on U.S. military forces in retaliation for U.S. support for Israel in the ongoing genocidal war in Gaza. The U.S. forces were at a base located near Kismayo Airport in southern Somalia. Blogger Muhammad Od reported in a You Tube video on Sept. 5: “According to a statement by the movement, quoted in the local Baidoa Online website, the operation targeted the ‘American camp’ in response to the war in Gaza, and resulted in ‘heavy losses among U.S. soldiers and the destruction of military vehicles.’” Od noted that in its X account, AFRICOM acknowledged the attack but claimed it was “indirect” with no serious damage.

Anti-Islam US Biker Gang In Charge Of ‘Security’ For Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

The private security firm hired to secure Gaza aid distribution sites, where Israeli soldiers have shot over one thousand Palestinians as they seek food, employs dozens of members of an explicitly anti-Islam US motorcycle gang, BBC reported on 11 September. A BBC investigation identified at least 10 members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club (Infidels MC) working for UG Solutions (UG), which provides security at the deadly Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid sites in Gaza. At least seven members of Infidels MC work in senior positions with UG in Gaza. Infidels MC was formed in 2006 by US soldiers who fought in Iraq during and after the 2003 invasion. They are known for having tattoos that say “kafir” or “infidel” in Arabic.

Understanding Israel’s Attack On Qatar; What It Means For The Region

Israel attacked the Qatari capital of Doha on Tuesday, killing six people. The target was a gathering of Hamas’ leadership who were meeting to consider the latest proposal from the United States for an end to the genocide and the release of the remaining Israeli hostages being held in Gaza. There is a lot to unpack in this attack. While there is neither evidence nor reason to believe the U.S. was directly involved, Washington’s claim that they were taken completely by surprise by the attack seems like only part of the story in light of some of President Donald Trump’s statements. Qatar, meanwhile, initially said it was suspending its role as mediator for talks between Israel, the U.S., and Hamas, but soon after said it would continue in that role, although its efforts are obviously hampered by the Israeli attack.

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

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."

Lawsuit Implores International Court To Halt US Funding Of Gaza Genocide

Taxpayers Against Genocide (TAG) filed a petition in May to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights requesting that it investigate the United States for its material support of Israel’s war crimes and that it order the U.S. to immediately halt all military aid and weapons transfers to Israel. The grassroots group submitted the petition on behalf of Palestinian Americans with family and close ties to Gaza and other U.S. taxpayers opposed to Washington’s use of public funds to support genocide and crimes against the Palestinians. IACHR is a principle and autonomous organ of the Organization of American States whose mission is to promote and protect human rights in the American hemisphere.

Two Incendiary Bombs Dropped On Gaza Flotilla Ships In Past Two Days

For the past two nights around 11:30pm Tunisia time, Israeli forces have dropped incendiary bombs from quadcopter drones on boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla in the waters near Tunis, Tunisia.  On the night of September 8, 2025, the first incendiary bomb hit the deck of the lead ship of the flotilla, the “Familia,” causing a fire. A crew member onboard “Familia” told me that he saw the quadcopter hovering about 20 feet above the ship and then going higher and moving to the bow of the ship. The quadcopter then dropped the incendiary device. The second incendiary bomb dropped from a quadcopter drone hit the “Alma” ship in the night of September 9, 2025 and again caused a fire to break out.

Chris Hedges Report: The Death Of Holocaust Studies

Raz Segal, an Israeli historian and an associate professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Stockton University, analyzes how the weaponization and distortion of the Holocaust, in the midst of the genocide in Gaza, has been used to serve the narrative of Zionists and the Israeli government. He tells host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report: “We know that Holocaust education eventually was more focused on transmitting this feeling of exceptionality than actually teaching about Holocaust as history, as real history, as normal history, as a part, indeed, of the making of the modern and late modern world.” Segal recounts his personal experience learning about the Holocaust in Israel, revealing a Zionist perspective that is both skewed and contradictory.
