New Footage Exposes Ragtag US Mercenaries Firing Toward Aid Seekers

July 8, 2025 Max Blumenthal and Wyatt Reed, The Grayzone. , , , , , , , , ,
On July 2, the Associated Press released an exposé containing short videos which appeared to show American mercenaries associated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) opening fire on aid-seekers in Gaza during an incident in southern Gaza this May. The footage was supplied by a former employee of UG Solutions, a firm charged with securing GHF distribution sites. “I think you hit one,” one soldier of fortune says to another following a loud burst of gunfire. “Hell yeah, boy!” another exclaims. In an apparent attempt to control the damage from the AP investigation, UG Solutions has distributed a pair of videos comprising over seven minutes of footage to the press.

What The 17th BRICS Summit Declaration Says And Omits

July 7, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , ,
At the 17th BRICS Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro from July 6 to 7, 2025, the bloc’s leaders issued a declaration reaffirming the bloc’s central role as a representative voice of the Global South. However, the declaration does not mention the word “genocide” when referring to the Israeli massacre of the Palestinian population, and despite condemning unilateral sanctions, it fails to mention one of the countries that has suffered the greatest impact from them: Venezuela, a strategic ally of China and Russia, two of the founding countries of the BRICS. In this regard, the final declaration condemns “the imposition of unilateral coercive measures contrary to international law” and denounces that such measures “have far-reaching negative implications for human rights, including the rights to development, health and food security of the general population of the affected states.”

Freedom Flotilla Ship Will Attempt To Break Israeli Blockade Of Gaza

July 7, 2025 Kyle Anzalone and Will Porter, The Libertarian Institute. , , , , ,
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) has said it will attempt to break the Israeli siege of Gaza with another ship. Last month, the FFC vessel ‘Madleen’ was seized by Israeli forces before it could reach the starving people of the Strip. A statement on the organization’s X account announced that the next ship will set sail from Italy next week: “We are setting sail again. On July 13, 2025, our boat Handala will depart from Siracusa [Syracuse], Italy, to break Israel’s illegal blockade. This mission is for the children of Gaza.” It continued, “Just weeks ago, Israeli forces illegally seized our boat Madleen and abducted 12 unarmed civilians aboard her in international waters.”

4,000 People Tried To March From Egypt To Gaza; Egypt Stopped Them

July 7, 2025 Tobiah Palm, Novara Media. , , , , ,
Lien Arits stepped off a plane in Cairo on a sweltering June evening. The Belgian politician wore heels and make-up at border control to avoid looking like an activist. It was a sensible precaution: the previous day, 40 members of the Dutch delegation to the Global March to Gaza had been denied entry to Egypt. Arits was travelling to the action with three fellow members of the Belgian Green party – but to avoid being identified as a group, they agreed to act like strangers. No talking at the airport; no eye contact on the plane. Weeks earlier, Arits and over 4,000 others from more than 80 countries had signed up for the march, which planned to take participants just 30 miles from El Arish to Rafah over three days between 15 and 19 June.

US Firm Behind GHF Modeled ‘Voluntary Relocation’ Plan

July 6, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
A major US consulting firm, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), was tasked by Israeli backers to model the costs of "relocating" Palestinians from Gaza as part of a project "imagining" post-war Gaza reconstruction, a Financial Times (FT) investigation published on 5 July revealed. The complex financial model for the reconstruction of Gaza “included cost estimates for relocating hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from the strip and the economic impact of such a mass displacement.” In one scenario, Palestinians would be provided "voluntary relocation" packages valued at $9,000 per person, or $5 billion total. Each person would reportedly receive $5,000 in cash, subsidized rent for four years, and subsidized food for a year.

Faith Leaders Are Standing Up To The Largest Pro-Israel Christian Lobby

July 5, 2025 Jaisal Noor, Waging Nonviolence. , , , , ,
At lunchtime on July 1, as the Senate prepared to vote on Trump’s deeply unpopular “Big Beautiful Bill,” the cafeteria line at the Rayburn House Office Building ground to a halt. Where lobbyists and staffers usually rushed through the midday crush, over 100 clergy and faith leaders had gathered in solemn resistance. They linked arms and broke into song with the message: “Congress doesn’t eat ‘til Gaza eats.” At the other end of Capitol Hill, the Dirksen Senate Office Building cafeteria filled with chants and prayerful silence. Within minutes, Capitol Police arrested over 65 people.

Israel Is Trying To Expel Us From Masafer Yatta

July 4, 2025 Mohammad Hesham Huraini, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Approximately one month ago — after years of harassment and intermittent demolitions — Israeli occupation forces arrived in the Palestinian village of Khallet al-Dabe’, one of the 12 communities that make up Masafer Yatta in the South Hebron Hills in the occupied West Bank. They proceeded to demolish the village almost entirely. In just two and a half hours, Israeli occupation forces reduced almost the entire village to rubble. Like Khallet al-Dabe’, all of the Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta are now under threat of permanent expulsion after the Civil Administration — the Israeli military body in charge of governing the West Bank — issued an order allowing what it calls “live-fire training” in Masafer Yatta, an action taken to reinforce its designation of the area as “Firing Zone 918.”

DRAD Seeks Answers About US Government Role In ‘Slaughter Masquerading As Humanitarian Aid’

July 3, 2025 Defending Rights & Dissent. , , , , , , , , ,
Yesterday, Defending Rights & Dissent filed two Freedom of Information Act requests to uncover details about the U.S. government’s relationship with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the shadowy private aid group that has been mired in controversy since announcing efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza in early May. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) published a statement which declared that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution effort “is a slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid.” The first FOIA request seeks internal State Department reports and communications about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, as well as the U.S. government’s communications with Israel about the organization.

Spying On Iran: How MI6 Infiltrated The IAEA

July 3, 2025 Kit Klarenberg, The Grayzone. , , , , , , , ,
A notorious British MI6 agent infiltrated the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on London’s behalf, according to leaked documents reviewed by The Grayzone. The agent, Nicholas Langman, is a veteran intelligence operative who claims credit for helping engineer the West’s economic war on Iran. Langman’s identity first surfaced in journalistic accounts of his role in deflecting accusations that British intelligence played a role in the death of Princess Diana. He was later accused by Greek authorities of overseeing the abduction and torture of Pakistani migrants in Athens. In both cases, UK authorities issued censorship orders forbidding the press from publishing his name. But Greek media, which was under no such obligation, confirmed that Langman was one of the MI6 assets withdrawn from Britain’s embassy in Athens.

UK Blacklists Palestine Action In ‘Grotesque, Chilling’ Move

July 3, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
The British parliament passed a vote on 2 July proscribing the Palestine Action activist group as a terrorist organization, a move strongly condemned by various groups and individuals as “grotesque,” “chilling,” and an “unprecedented legal overreach.” In parliament, 385 voted in favor of the proscription, while 26 voted against it. UK Security Minister Dan Jarvis said in parliament that Palestine Action is not “a legitimate protest group.” “People engaged in lawful protest do not need weapons. People engaged in lawful protest do not throw smoke bombs and fire pyrotechnics around innocent members of the public.

The Evolution Of Domestic Counterinsurgency In The US

July 3, 2025 Carrie Zaremba, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
By the time DHS agents showed up at Mahmoud Khalil’s door, a full-spectrum campaign had already marked him as a target. Columbia professor Shai Davidai had posted Khalil’s name and image online, called him a terrorist, and urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to deport him. The smear was picked up by a network of doxxing accounts like “Documenting Jew Hatred on Campus,” which publicly lobbied for the revocation of Khalil’s visa. Rubio repeated the call, Khalil received death threats, and the university stayed silent. Then, federal agents arrived. A professor’s tweet had become a trigger for federal enforcement. A tweet, a tag, a dossier — these were the new informant files. This time, professors, NGOs, and anonymous social media accounts were the new operators.

Profiting From Genocide

July 2, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
War is a business. So is genocide. The latest report submitted by Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, lists 48 corporations and institutions, including Palantir Technologies Inc., Lockheed Martin, Alphabet Inc., Amazon, International Business Machine Corporation (IBM), Caterpillar Inc., Microsoft Corporation and Massachusetts Institue of Technology (MIT), along with banks and financial firms such as Blackrock, insurers, real estate firms and charities, which in violation of international law are making billions from the occupation and the genocide of Palestinians.

Ukraine Demands Answers After US Halts Missile Shipments

July 2, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
Officials in Kiev are seeking clarification on a US decision to halt a delivery of air defense munitions to Ukraine, which a White House spokesperson said was taken to “put America’s interests first.” “We’re now checking with the Americans what’s really happening,” an anonymous Ukrainian official was cited as saying by the Washington Post on 2 July. Other Ukrainian officials were “silent or declined to answer, and seem to have been caught by surprise by the news,” the report added. The US Department of Defense announced halting shipments of air defense missiles and other precision munitions over concerns that stockpiles were running low.

1,500 Israeli Soldiers Will Attend Jewish Summer Camps In North America

July 1, 2025 Aaron Kreuter, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
It’s June, which means a similar scene is playing out at tens of thousands of Jewish houses across the continent. Duffel bags dug up from basements. Toiletries laid out on carpeted floors, emergency trips to the drug store for one final item. Last-minute clothing decisions. Bags of carefully curated candy. Tearful midnight goodbyes to school friends. For so many of us Jewish North Americans, the summers of our younger years mean one thing: sleepover camp. Unfortunately, it’s not just Jewish kids, teenagers, and twenty-somethings getting ready to go to one of the hundreds of Jewish camps in North America.

United States Approves $510 Million Arms Deal For Israel

July 1, 2025 Dave DeCamp, News From Antiwar.com. , , , , , ,
The Trump administration has approved a new arms deal for Israel that will provide the country with $510 million worth of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMS), kits that turn bombs into precision-guided weapons, as the US continues to provide military aid to support the genocidal war in Gaza. According to the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the State Department notified Congress of the sale of 3,845 JDAMS for 2,000-pound BLU-109 bombs and 3,280 JDAMS for 500-pound MK 82 bombs. The deal also includes US “government and contractor engineering, logistics, and technical support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.”
