Israeli Youth Burn Their IDF Draft Orders To Protest Gaza War

July 20, 2025 Al Bawaba. , , , ,
An Israeli human rights activist called Itamar Greenberg recently captured a protest in Tel Aviv showcasing Israeli youth burning their IDF draft orders in protest of the ongoing aggression on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023. The video circulating on X (formerly known as Twitter) garnered hundreds of thousands of views on the social media platform, with many fellow activists praising the protestors for their courage and bravery. Burning the IDF draft orders showcases the activists' refusal to take part in Israel's ongoing aggression on Gaza.

Collective measures to confront Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people have been agreed by 12 nations after an emergency summit of the Hague Group in Bogota, Colombia. A joint statement adopted on Wednesday announced the six measures, which it said were geared to holding Israel to account for its crimes in Palestine and would operate within the states’ domestic legal and legislative frameworks. The 12 countries agreeing are Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and South Africa.

How Israel And The US Are Orchestrating Syria’s Collapse

July 18, 2025 Greg Stoker, MintPress News. , , ,
Southern Syria is once again in turmoil. Recent clashes in the city of Suwayda between Druze militias and Bedouin gangs triggered a swift military response from the Syrian government, and airstrikes by Israel on positions in Damascus. In this episode of State of Play, I’m joined by Ahmad from Propaganda & Co. and MintPress journalist Robert Inlakesh to examine the wider forces behind the violence. Beneath the headlines lies a pattern: outside powers managing chaos to remake Syria in their image. Israel claimed its strikes were defensive, aimed at protecting the Druze population. But according to U.S. intelligence, Syria had informed Israel of its tank movements ahead of time.

Nations Commit To ‘Unprecedented Measures’ Holding Israel Accountable

July 17, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
The Hague Group announced on 16 July that 12 nations have agreed to “unprecedented measures" aimed at stopping the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, following an emergency summit in Bogota, Colombia. According to the summit's final statement, the measures include implementing an arms embargo on weapons to Israel, preventing ships carrying weapons to Israel from docking at ports, reviewing public contracts that support the Israeli occupation of Palestine, fulfilling obligations to ensure accountability for the most serious crimes under international law, and backing prosecutions of Israeli war criminals at national and international levels.

Israel’s ‘Humanitarian City’ Plan

July 17, 2025 Medea Benjamin, Consortium News. , , , ,
The Israeli government has just put forward one of the most brazenly genocidal schemes in modern memory — and unless we act immediately, the world will once again let it happen. As reported in Haaretz, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz is proposing to force some 600,000 Palestinians — and eventually the entire population of Gaza — into a fenced-in “humanitarian city” to be built on the ruins of Rafah in southern Gaza. The plan is to “screen” the population, separate out alleged Hamas members, and then pressure the remaining civilians — men, women, and children — to “voluntarily” leave Gaza for another country. Which country? That hasn’t even been determined.

European Union Refuses To Sanction Israel Over Genocide In Gaza

July 16, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The EU has decided against imposing sanctions on Israel over its war crimes against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, which have continued unabated on a daily basis.  “The EU Council failed yesterday to take a decision on Israel´s violation of the Association Agreement´s Human Rights clause. But this is in itself a decision: Europe decides not to punish Israel's continued war crimes and allows the Gaza genocide to proceed unabated,” said former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on 16 July.  Palestinian Authority (PA) Foreign Affairs Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin described the lack of action as “shocking and disappointing.”

Statewide Campaign Aims To End Illinois’ Investment In Israel

July 15, 2025 Tara Goodarzi, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs has been investing in Israel for nearly a decade. Since becoming the sole fiduciary of the fifth-largest GDP in the country in January 2015, he has invested tens of millions of taxpayer dollars into the Development Corporation of Israel (“DCI”). DCI is the underwriter for “Israel Bonds,” uninsured debt securities issued by the Israeli government to raise capital for the country. The idea to pitch these kinds of bonds originated after the 1948 Nakba, when the new state was critically short on economic resources. According to the the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office, the state of Illinois currently has $100 million invested in Israel Bonds.

Freedom Flotilla’s Handala Begins Its Journey To Gaza

July 14, 2025 Freedom Flotilla Coalition. , , , , ,
Siracusa, Italy, July 13, 2025 — Today, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) announces that Handala, our civilian aid boat, has officially set sail from Siracusa, Italy and begun its journey to Gaza. This marks a bold step in our ongoing effort to challenge Israel’s illegal, deadly blockade of the Palestinian people in Gaza. The boat carries life-saving humanitarian aid and a message of solidarity from people around the world refusing to stay silent as Gaza is starved, bombed, and buried under rubble. This mission comes just weeks after Israel’s illegal attack on the Madleen, another Freedom Flotilla boat, which was violently seized in international waters.

Concentration Camps Are Back; Why Does That Not Bother Anyone?

July 14, 2025 HG, The Canary. , , , , , ,
Israel has soft-launched its concentration camp in Rafah, and Donald Trump has hard-launched Alligator Alcatraz, while other countries look the other way. Israel has made it clear that anyone who does not make their way to the new concentration camp, on what used to be Rafah city, will become a legitimate target for elimination. Just to be clear, though. At no point so far has Israel needed a legitimate justification for eliminating anyone. They have done what they want, to whom they want, from the start. Israel could not have made their intentions clearer – ethnic cleansing. And still, Western Government are supporting it – providing weapons and support and pretending they don’t see the long list of war crimes because little Netanyahu might throw a temper tantrum.

Gaza Ceasefire Talks Collapse Over Israel’s Occupation Demands

July 13, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israeli officials hit a deadlock in Doha, as Palestinian and Israeli sources say the talks are faltering over the scope of the proposed Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. The discussions are based on a US-backed framework for a 60-day ceasefire and the phased release of Israeli captives, but key issues remain unresolved. Hamas reportedly rejected Israeli-proposed maps that would leave 40 to 45 percent of the territory under occupation, including all of southern Rafah as well as parts of northern and eastern Gaza.

Israel Unveils A Concentration Camp In Southern Gaza

July 12, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
It is said that no news is good news. But when the cone of silence is dropped over meetings between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it is prudent to be apprehensive about what we don’t know. Before Netanyahu’s arrival in Washington, Trump had indicated that he expected their conversations to be focused almost exclusively on ending the Gaza “war.” The sickening euphemism aside, the fact that neither Trump nor Netanyahu are eager to disclose the contents of their meetings opens a wide range of possibilities.  The optimistic view is that Netanyahu is attempting to find a way to accommodate the President’s stated desire to end the genocide in Gaza without causing a rupture in his governing coalition.

Tiger Teams To Concentration Camps

July 12, 2025 Greg Stoker, MintPress News. , , , ,
This week on State of Play, host Greg Stoker is joined by Jalyssa Dugrot, an independent journalist recently arrested while covering anti-ICE protests for MintPress News in Los Angeles, and Robert Inlakesh, a Middle East analyst and MintPress contributor known for his reporting on politics, repression, and empire, to examine a rapidly expanding surveillance regime that connects U.S. immigration enforcement to Israeli military intelligence and private tech firms. In early 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) assembled a covert unit called the “Tiger Team,” a task force supposedly created to address “critical threats.”

Why Would The Tiny Nation, Palau, Be Complicit In Israeli Genocide?

July 11, 2025 Colonel Ann Wright (Ret), Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Why would the tiny western Pacific island nation of Palau with a population of only 21,862 allow itself to be complicit in the Israeli genocide of three times its own population, now over 60,000 Palestinians killed by the Israeli military in Gaza and tens of thousands of Palestinians unaccounted for under the rubble? I doubt if anyone in Palau realizes what the Palau government did in their name to make them complicit in a genocide. The question of complicity in the genocide swirls around who made the decision and why for Palau to take away the certification and flag of Gaza bound ship "Conscience, " a ship that had had the Palau certification for over twelve months.

Spain And Ireland Join More Than 20 States To Declare ‘Concrete Measures’ Against Israel

July 11, 2025 Sondos Asem, Middle East Eye. , , , ,
More than 20 countries are convening in Bogota next week to declare “concrete measures against Israel’s violations of international law”, diplomats told Middle East Eye. The “emergency summit” is due to be held on 15-16 July, co-hosted by the governments of Colombia and South Africa as co-chairs of The Hague Group, to coordinate diplomatic and legal action to counter what they describe as “a climate of impunity” enabled by Israel and its powerful allies. The Hague Group is a bloc of currently eight states, launched on 31 January in the eponymous Dutch city with the stated goal of holding Israel accountable under international law.

Workers In Europe Refuse Cargo To Israel

July 11, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
A growing number of logistics and transport workers, along with trade unions across Europe, are taking action against military shipments to Israel as it continues its genocide in the Gaza Strip. One of the most recent examples is the refusal by airport workers in Paris, primarily organized by the trade unions SUD Aérien and CGT Roissy, to deal with military cargo destined for Israel. “As workers in the aviation sector, we categorically refuse to participate, directly or indirectly, in logistical operations that could contribute to the crimes currently being committed in Gaza,” SUD Aérien stated. French workers have also called for similar blockades in other locations, expressing their solidarity with Palestinians.
