Ex-UN Official Decries Resolution Backing Gaza Force As ‘Colonial Outrage’

November 18, 2025 Mera Aladam, Middle East Eye. , , , , , ,
A former senior UN human rights official has denounced the Security Council’s adoption of a resolution backing a US plan for foreign forces and governance in Gaza, calling it a “colonial outrage”. Craig Mokhiber, former director of the New York office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), described the vote as a “day of shame” for the UN and accused governments worldwide of being “on their knees before the US empire and its violent Israeli client”. He criticised the "horrific" resolution as a violation of international law. “This proposal has been rejected by Palestinian civil society and factions, as well as by defenders of human rights and international law everywhere,” Mokhiber said on X.

Join Us In Italy To Support The Nationwide Strike Against Israel

November 18, 2025 Chris Hedges, Peace & Planet News. , , , , ,
Western nations will do nothing to halt Israel’s ongoing slaughter of Palestinians. They will do nothing to alleviate the hunger and disease that is decimating Palestinians in Gaza. Our nations have been, and remain, full partners in the genocide. They will remain partners until the genocide reaches its grim conclusion. Unless we stop them. At least 242 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel since the “ceasefire” was announced. The first major ceasefire breach led to Israeli airstrikes that killed more than 100 Palestinians, including 46 children, and wounded 150 others.

More Horrific Than Abu Ghraib And Guantánamo

On June 19, 2024, Khaled Mahajneh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, became the first lawyer to visit a notorious detention facility for Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, located inside the Sde Teiman military base in the Negev Desert, one of several detention facilities established after October 7, 2023 to hold Palestinians seized in Gaza. Speaking to +972 Magazine a week after his visit, Mahanjeh drew a pertinent comparison with the treatment of Muslim prisoners in the US’s post-9/11 “war on terror”, but concluded that Israel’s behavior was even worse.

Samsung Users Report ‘Unremovable’ Israeli Bloatware Appcloud On Devices

November 17, 2025 Middle East Eye. , , , , ,
South Korean tech giant Samsung has come under fire after users flagged that its devices contained what cybersecurity experts are calling bloatware across multiple regions globally. Bloatware is a pre-installed application that runs on a device’s operating system. Initially, the software, AppCloud, was reported to be pre-installed in Samsung Galaxy A and M series phones across West Asia and North Africa. But now, users from Europe and South Asia have reported that the bloatware also comes pre-installed on their devices, and is "unremovable". Uninstalling bloatware requires root access, the highest level of control in a computer system. In February, SMEX (formerly Social Media Exchange), a digital rights organisation based in Beirut, reported that AppCloud secretly harvests user data and lacks an accessible privacy policy, raising legal and ethical concerns due to its ties to the Israeli firm ironSource.

What Genocide Looks Like When Silicon Valley Writes The Brochure

November 16, 2025 Ramah Kudaimi and Evan Sutton, In These Times. , , , ,
It’s being called the GREAT Trust. A glossy plan for Gaza’s ​“redevelopment” that includes solar plants, hospitals and an Elon Musk-branded ​“Smart Manufacturing Zone.” But, as analysts have suggested, it only works if the people of Gaza are gone. The slides leaked over a month ago to the Washington Post spell out the game plan: Gazans will be forced to choose between dubious and iniquitous ​“voluntary” mass relocation or ​“temporary housing,” while and billionaires get their branded tech playground built on ashes and bones. This is what genocide looks like when Silicon Valley writes the brochure: ethnic cleansing dressed up as innovation.

Israel Kills Gazans Trying To Return To Homes Beyond The ‘Yellow Line’

There is an invisible line dividing Gaza, and any Palestinian who attempts to cross it, or even get close to it, is killed. That is what happened to Ibrahim and Mazen al-Najjar, two men from the same family, on November 5th. Displaced in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, they attempted to go to their home in the eastern part of Khan Younis, to attempt to retrieve some belongings. It was a simple enough task. The only problem was, their home lies behind the ‘yellow line’, which is the area of Gaza under full Israeli military control since the ceasefire on October 10.

Chris Hedges Report: The Member States Complicit In Genocide

November 13, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
After two years of genocide, it is no longer possible to hide complicity in Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians. Entire countries and corporations are — according to multiple reports by UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese — either directly or indirectly involved in Israel’s economic proliferation. In her latest report, “Gaza Genocide: a collective crime,” Albanese details the role 63 nations played in supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians. She chronicles how countries like the United States, which directly funds and arms Israel, are a part of a vast global economic web.

US Envoy: Syria Will ‘Actively Assist’ Washington In Confronting Hezbollah

November 13, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
US envoy Tom Barrack said on 13 November that the extremist-led government in Damascus will “actively assist” Washington and Tel Aviv in confronting Hezbollah in Lebanon. “I had the profound honor of accompanying Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa to the White House, where he became the first Syrian Head of State ever to visit since Syria gained its independence in 1946,” Barrack said on X. He also hailed the former Al-Qaeda chief’s “commitment” to joining Washington's ‘anti-ISIS’ coalition, “marking Syria’s transition from a source of terrorism to a counterterrorism partner – a commitment to rebuild, to cooperate, and to contribute to the stability of an entire region.” “Damascus will now actively assist us in confronting and dismantling the remnants of ISIS, the IRGC, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist networks, and will stand as a committed partner in the global effort to secure peace,” the envoy added.

On The Prisoners For Palestine Hunger Strike

November 13, 2025 Calla Mairead Walsh, New Socialist. , , , , , ,
It has been 10 days since political prisoners Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib ate any food. It has been 9 days since Heba Muraisi ate any food. It has been 7 days since Jon Cink ate any food. It has been 4 days since Teuta Hoxha ate any food. It has been 3 days since Kamran Ahmed ate any food. After the first 2 to 3 days without food, your body begins breaking down its own fat stores for energy, then its muscles, vital organs, and bone marrow, eating itself alive. The first days are the hardest. Then, you stop craving food at all as your body settles into the inharmonious rhythm of starvation. By day ten, significant medical intervention is required.

Al-Qaeda Goes To Washington

November 12, 2025 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , , , , , , ,
I never thought I would see the day, but the day came Monday, when Ahmed al–Sharaa arrived at the White House for a sit-down with President Donald Trump and the usual gaggle of misfits who must be there to make sure the Trumpster understands at least a little of what is being said. A freak-show terrorist amid all that retro Oval Office elegance: Who could have imagined so offensive a tableau? Al–Sharaa, alert readers will know, is one of those dripping-with-blood Sunni jihadists who, during the West’s extended covert operation against the Assad regime in Syria, had the habit of changing their names and the names of their murderous militias whenever the world figured out who they were and the extent of their savagery.

Winter In Gaza

November 12, 2025 Kathy Kelly, World Beyond War. , , , , ,
On Saturday, 8 November, 2025, Dan Perry wrote in The Jerusalem Post about Israel’s projected lifting of the media blockade on Gaza. Perry laments that Israeli censorship has left all reporting of the atrocity in the hands of Palestinians, who refuse to be silent. To date, Israel has assassinated over 240 Palestinian journalists. Perry writes: “The High Court ruled last week that the government must consider allowing foreign journalists into Gaza but also granted a one-month extension due to the still-unclear situation in the Strip.” He asserts that Israel had and has no motive for excluding foreign journalists save concern for their own protection.

US To Build Internment-Style Camps In Israeli-Controlled Gaza

November 12, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump's administration is advancing a controversial plan to build what US officials called “Alternate Safe Communities” for displaced Palestinians inside the Israeli-controlled areas in Gaza that make up half of the strip, The Atlantic reported on 10 November. According to The Atlantic, the initiative envisions a string of US-backed settlements for Palestinians screened and approved by Israel’s domestic intelligence service. Anyone – or their relatives – found to be affiliated with or supportive of Hamas would be barred from entry, effectively separating them from the majority still living under Hamas administration on the western side of what Israeli troops now call the “yellow line.”

Israeli Settlers Torch Factories And Farmland In West Bank Raid

November 12, 2025 Mera Aladam, Middle East Eye. , , , ,
Israeli settlers carried out a large-scale arson attack on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, the latest in a series of army-backed assaults that have surged since October. Dozens of masked settlers targeted an industrial area east of Tulkarm, near Beit Lid, in the attack, setting fire to a dairy factory, surrounding farmland, several buildings and multiple trucks. Settlers also hurled rocks at Palestinians on the scene, wounding at least four people. The fire spread to a nearby nomadic Palestinian community, engulfing their tents.

Netherlands Advances Plan To Ban Imports From Israeli Settlements

November 11, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The Netherlands is moving ahead with a partial trade ban targeting imports from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, Dutch Foreign Minister David van Weel said on 10 November during a visit to the region. Van Weel confirmed that while a wider package of sanctions on Israel has been paused following last month’s ceasefire in Gaza, work continues on legislation specifically addressing settlement products. “The Netherlands is still working on legislation to bar imports from illegal settlements in occupied Palestine,” he said, adding that the measure responds to expanding settlements and what he called “spiralling Israeli violence” that threatens the viability of a two-state solution.

US Replaces Israel As ‘Overseer’ Of Gaza Aid Deliveries

November 10, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The US-led Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC), established by Washington last month, is replacing Israel as the “overseer” of humanitarian aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip, the Washington Post reported. According to informed sources, the first weeks of operations have been “chaotic and indecisive.” A US official said Israel remains “part of the conversation” but overall decisions will be made by the new center, established weeks ago in Kiryat Gat – a city just north of the besieged strip. “The move relegates Israel to a secondary role in determining how and what humanitarian relief can enter Gaza as CMCC takes the lead,” other familiar sources told the outlet. More than 40 countries are participating in the US-led center.
