One Million Palestinians ‘Reject Displacement’ From North Gaza

September 17, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
About one million Palestinians in Gaza City and northern Gaza are refusing or are unable to be forcibly displaced to overcrowded “safe zones” in southern Gaza, according to a statement issued by the Gaza Government Media Office on 16 September. “More than one million Palestinians remain rooted in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, holding onto their land and homes, and categorically rejecting displacement to the south, despite the savage bombardment and genocidal war carried out by the Israeli occupation,” Palestinian officials said. The statement highlights that the population of Gaza City and northern Gaza “exceeds 1.3 million people,” most of whom have already been displaced from their neighborhoods to central and coastal areas.

Chris Hedges Report: Israel, Charlie Kirk, And Weaponization Of Murder

September 16, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
Charlie Kirk’s assassination will likely serve as the crux of a new era of political violence and repression in the United States. In the days since Kirk was shot at a speaking event at Utah Valley University, right-wing groups and figures have demanded mass censorship of all critical online speech directed at Kirk. President Donald Trump has effectively attributed the attack to the “radical left” and vowed to go after those he deems responsible. Mass doxing campaigns targeting people who contextualized Kirk’s politics or celebrated his killing has led to firings across the country. Amid the online chaos, narratives surrounding Kirk’s assassin, stemming from incomplete reporting from mainstream outlets and a lack of clear analysis by the FBI, have further fueled confusion and outrage across the political spectrum.

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.

September 16, 2025 Middle East Eye. , , , , ,
The foreign ministers of 16 countries on Tuesday expressed concern about the safety of the Global Sumud Flotilla headed to Gaza, and warned against “unlawful or violent” acts against it. A joint statement was signed by Turkey, Spain, Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Ireland, Libya, Malaysia, the Maldives, Mexico, Pakistan, Qatar, Oman, Slovenia and South Africa. “The Global Sumud Flotilla has informed about its objective of delivering humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and raising awareness about the urgent humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people and the need to stop the war in Gaza,” the foreign ministers said. “Both objectives, peace and humanitarian aid delivery, together with the respect of international law, including humanitarian law, are shared by our governments.”

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

September 16, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
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

September 15, 2025 Mathilda Mallinson, Middle East Eye. , , , , ,
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

September 15, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
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

September 15, 2025 Jamal Kanj, Palestine Chronicle. , , , , , ,
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

September 14, 2025 Palestine Chronicle. , , , ,
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

September 13, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
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

September 13, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , , ,
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

September 13, 2025 People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
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

September 13, 2025 Betsey Piette, Workers' World. , , , , , , , ,
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

September 12, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
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

September 11, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
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.
