Friends Of The Hague Group Statement: Principles And Initial Objectives

August 8, 2025 Friends of the Hague Group, ICSGP.org. , , , ,
Friends of The Hague Group (FoTHG) launched in Bogotá on July 17, 2025, to support multilateral efforts like that of The Hague Group (THG) to end the Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people, and to ensure that all such efforts be grounded in the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including: the right to self-determination; the right of return for all Palestinian refugees and deportees forcibly displaced since 1948; and the right to full reparation, including restitution, compensation, satisfaction, and guarantees of non-repetition. FoTHG is guided by the demands of Palestinian Civil Society convening organizations, and prioritizes the leadership of FoTHG founding international organizations based in the Global South.

FIFA: The Beautiful Game Cannot Support Genocide And Repression

August 8, 2025 Black Alliance for Peace, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
The Black Alliance for Peace North South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights delivered a message to FIFA's President and Head of Human Rights regarding the ongoing and rapidly deteriorating human rights conditions in Palestine, as well as current conditions in the United States that BAP believes makes the United States a dangerous nation for citizens and residents of foreign nations to visit. In that communication we made the argument that because of the ongoing genocide and the role of the U.S. as a facilitator of that genocide, as well as the unsafe and hostile conditions in the U.S. that has compelled a number of nations to issue advisories against travel to the U.S., we called on FIFA to ban the United States and Israel from hosting and participating in international competition, and to relocate the 2025 World Cup from the United States.

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.

FEMA Reverses Plan To Require Israel Loyalty Oath For Disaster Aid

August 8, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , ,
This week, the Trump administration reversed its decision to link disaster relief funds with loyalty pledges to Israel. Originally, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had published a statement declaring that states and cities had to certify that they wouldn’t boycott Israeli companies in order to qualify for disaster relief. Under DHS’s standard terms and conditions it reads, “Recipients must comply with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws material to the government’s payment decisions” and adds: Discriminatory prohibited boycott means refusing to deal, cutting commercial relations, or otherwise limiting commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies or with companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by, or organized under the laws of Israel to do business. The story quickly made the rounds on social media, prompting it to remove the statement from its website.

Chris Hedges Report: The Israeli And CIA Sponsored Guatemalan Genocide

August 7, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
Known as the “Silent Holocaust,” the genocide in Guatemala is seldom mentioned in modern history. The United States, with support from Israel, backed yet another violent crusade against an indigenous population as well as against communism. The Guatemalan genocide — preceded by a CIA-instigated coup d’état of the Guatemalen government in 1954 and the ensuing civil war — saw hundreds of thousands of the Mayan Indigenous peoples and alleged communists massacred or disappeared. Jennifer Harbury, an attorney, author and human rights activist, witnessed the horrors of the genocidal campaign waged by the U.S.-backed Guatemalan military. Included in these horrors was the torture and disappearance of her husband, Mayan rebel leader Efraín Bámaca Velásquez (known as Everardo) by CIA-backed Guatemalan military officials.

Microsoft Helping Israel Spy On Millions Of Palestinians Since 2021

August 7, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Israel has been using a Microsoft cloud platform to store massive amounts of data and intelligence on Palestinians in both the occupied West Bank and Gaza, according to a new investigation carried out by +972 Magazine, Local Call, and The Guardian.  The investigation reveals that Microsoft’s chief executive met in 2021 with the commander of Israel’s notorious Unit 8200 – the military intelligence unit involved in the pager terror attacks against Lebanon and other covert operations across the region.  Unit 8200 chief Yossi Sariel convinced Microsoft’s Satya Nadella to grant Israeli military intelligence access to a “customized and segregated area” inside the Azure cloud platform, according to The Guardian.

Veterans Force NY County Sheriff To Take Down Israeli Flag

August 6, 2025 Jack Gilroy, Popular Resistance. , , ,
The flag of Israel represents the greatest human rights disaster in modern history, yet has flown proudly at the Broome County Correctional Facility by order of Sheriff Akshar. His dedication to Trump's unconstitutional actions has also made Broome County one of the leading penal camps for immigrants in New York State.  For over 600 days the Israeli flag flew over our county jail. It was a flagrant display of a Sheriff knowingly engaging in a divisive, illegal act in violation of New York State Public Building Law.   New York State Law forbids a foreign flag from flying over public property. The actual wording of the law states, “It shall not be lawful to display the flag or emblem of any foreign country upon any state, county or municipal building; provided, however, that whenever any foreigner shall become the guest of the United States, the state or any city, upon public proclamation by the governor or mayor of such city, the flag of the country of which such public guest shall be a citizen may be displayed upon such public buildings.”

Are We On The Verge Of Another Nuclear War?

August 5, 2025 Gerry Condon, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
Eighty years ago, the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs on the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are now nine nuclear-armed nations, many in military confrontation with one another. It is quite remarkable that there has not been another nuclear war. How can this be explained? Some say the absence of another nuclear war proves that nuclear “deterrence” is working, and to some extent that is true. These nations are rightfully afraid of a nuclear conflagration which could obliterate their societies, and even destroy all life on planet Earth.  With escalating military confrontations today – even the possibility of a World War – how long can “deterrence” work?

Netanyahu Orders Israeli Army To Conquer All Of Gaza

August 5, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
The Israeli war cabinet met on Monday to decide on the next phase of Israel’s war on Gaza. The meeting was reportedly to choose between ending the war in favor of ceasefire talks or expanding it to reoccupy the entire Strip. According to initial unconfirmed reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has briefed “friendly journalists” that he has ordered the Israeli army to “conquer Gaza” in the face of opposition from the army’s Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir. Netanyahu’s office reportedly told N12: “The decision has been made — Israel is going to conquer the Gaza Strip.”

FIFA And IOC Must Ban The US And Israel From International Sporting Events

August 4, 2025 Black Alliance For Peace, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , ,
The United States has become dangerous for members of the global community, and specifically for non-white/non-European people. The world is witnessing massive violations of human rights and the Constitution of the United States as masked agents using unmarked vehicles raid work places, homes, and places of public assembly to incarcerate and disappear Black, Brown, and Indigenous people and, in too many cases, denying them legal representation and basic information as to their whereabouts and wellbeing to their families and attorneys. Under the current U.S administration anyone suspected of residing in and/or visiting the United States with or without “proper” documentation, including U.S. citizens, are being harassed, questioned about their political beliefs and even detained without due process.

Retired Security Officials Warn Israel On ‘Precipice Of Defeat’

August 4, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Over a dozen former Israeli security officials issued a joint video statement on 3 August demanding an end to the war in Gaza and warning that Tel Aviv is on the brink of “defeat.” Former officials have also demanded that US President Donald Trump pressure Israel to end the genocidal campaign which has raged since October 2023 – in a separate letter accompanying the video and signed by 550 former security officials. The video statement was made by 19 retired army chiefs, intelligence heads, Shin Bet and Mossad directors, and police commissioners. 

Israel Launches Ground Raids In Southwest Syria

August 4, 2025 Jason Ditz, AntiWar.com. , , ,
Israeli ground troops have carried out multiple ground raids across southwestern Syria over the weekend, including overnight raids in the Quneitra Governorate overnight Saturday, which led to the capture of multiple “suspects” who have not been conclusively identified and appear to simply be local Syrians. On Friday, Israeli troops attacked farmers near Jubata al-Khashab, first opening fire on them while they were actively farming their own land then confiscating a tractor in the area because the tractor was trying to haul away trees within the area which Israeli military bulldozers had recently knocked down. Three Syrians were captured in that incident.

International Sociological Association Suspends Israeli Sociological Society

August 3, 2025 Global Sociologists for Palestine, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Global Sociologists for Palestine (GS4P) applauds the successful boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) mobilization for justice in Palestine spearheaded by its members at the International Sociological Association (ISA) Forum held in Rabat, Morocco, in July 2025. At the international level, the BDS mobilization represents a landmark achievement in the global social science academic landscape. It was the first major successful BDS campaign at an academic sociological association, as realized through the suspension of the Israeli Sociological Society (ISS) by ISA due to pressure from its membership.

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.

Israel’s International Isolation Has Begun

August 2, 2025 Philip Weiss, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
We’ve never lived through such rapid change in the politics of Israel as we are now. Two nights ago more than half of Democratic senators – 27– voted to block some arms sales to Israel. A day before that, the UK and Canada said they will recognize a Palestinian state at the U.N, echoing France’s recent statement.  These are steps that advocates for Palestinians thought might be years away. But today the world is shocked by Israel’s starvation of Gaza, and the mainstream press is at last reporting the charge of genocide.   Israel’s international isolation has begun.
