Students Demand: TU Berlin Cut Ties With Genocide-Enabling Institutions

May 22, 2025 Not In Our Name TU, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
Every university in Gaza has been reduced to rubble. Thousands of students and hundreds of educators have been killed. The genocide is nearing its final, most brutal phase. Meanwhile, Israeli universities continue to develop the weapons and ideologies that made all of it possible. And the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) still refuses to sever ties, 8 months after being confronted with the undeniable proof. The call for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions is not merely symbolic. These institutions have never been neutral bystanders to state violence. They are engineers of it, embedded in the military-industrial complex, drafting demographic warfare strategies, justifying settler expansion, and persecuting Palestinian students and faculty.

Two Israeli Embassy Staffers Shot Dead In Washington, DC

May 22, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Two employees of the Israeli embassy in the US were killed in a shooting attack in Washington DC early on 22 May, causing an uproar and accusations about “antisemitism” being the motive behind the killings. Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, the two Israeli diplomats, were shot while leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in the US capital. The two were reportedly set to be engaged, as Lischinsky had planned to propose to Milgrim in occupied Jerusalem next week. The shooter has been identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez, who chanted “Free, free Palestine” as he was being detained by Metropolitan Police shortly after the attack.

Britain, France, and Canada Threaten Israel If Gaza War Is Not Halted

May 21, 2025 Juan Cole, Scheer Post. , , , , , , , , ,
Britain, France and Canada issued a statement on Monday, demanding that the Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu cease its military campaign against the people of Gaza and halt its months-long blockade of food and medical aid, which has left the Strip on the verge of widespread famine. The three threatened Tel Aviv with “concrete steps” should it fail to do as they insist. The three NATO powers went further than a 22-nation petition to Israel to halt its food and aid blockade issued on Monday, which they also signed. The other 19 countries apparently declined to go so far as to demand an end to the war, as well.

Wall Street, Zionists, And Ex-CIA Operatives Take Over Gaza Relief

May 21, 2025 Robert Inlakesh, MintPress News. , , , , , ,
With over half a million people in Gaza on the brink of starvation and aid groups warning of an “imminent famine,” Israel has agreed to allow a token number of relief trucks into the besieged enclave. But what’s entering Gaza now isn’t humanitarian aid, it’s a Trojan horse. A new, U.S.-backed private aid scheme staffed by former CIA operatives, ex-Marines, and mercenaries tied to Israeli intelligence and Wall Street elites has been deployed in Gaza under the guise of relief. The project is led by a shady NGO registered in Switzerland just months ago, and human rights groups are calling it what it is: a hostile corporate takeover of the aid sector, designed to militarize relief, displace civilians, and profit from Gaza’s agony.

The Human Cost Of Syria Sanctions

May 20, 2025 Rick Sterling, LA Progressive. , , , , ,
On May 13, Trump announced he is ordering the removal of sanctions on Syria. Some of the U.S. sanctions can be quickly terminated because they were issued by Executive Order. Other sanctions, including the extremely damaging 2019 "Caesar" sanctions, were imposed by Congressional legislation and may require Congressional action to terminate. The Syrian people are joyous at the prospect of the end of their country's economic nightmare. In 2010, before the conflict began, Syria was a middle-income country with free education, free healthcare, and no national debt. It was largely self-sufficient in energy and food. After fourteen years of war, occupation, and strangulating Western sanctions, the U.N. reports that "nine out of ten Syrians live in poverty and face food insecurity".

Another Fictional ‘Iranian Plot’ In London?

May 20, 2025 Robert Inlakesh, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
The arrest of a group reportedly consisting of Iranian nationals, accused of planning an attack on the Israeli embassy in London, has coincided with an aggressive lobbying campaign to classify Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization in the UK. While details of the case remain sparse, previous such allegations suggest that linking this plot to Tehran without substantiated evidence is politically motivated. On 7 May, The Telegraph claimed that five individuals were detained in what the UK Home Secretary described as one of the "biggest counter-terrorism operations in recent years."

Civil Society Groups Call For Diplomatic Convoy To Get Aid Into Gaza

May 20, 2025 Julia Conley, Common Dreams. , , , , , ,
As Israeli leaders were split over a plan to allow a "minimal" amount of aid into Gaza on Monday, Palestinian and global civil society groups issued a call for an international humanitarian mission that would go much further in fighting the looming famine across the enclave. With the World Food Program and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East having "exhausted their reserves," more than 750 international groups joined "Unified Call to Confront Famine" and ensure the blockade stopping more than 3,000 food aid trucks and 116,000 metric tons of food are allowed into the enclave.

I Was Fired From Emerson College For Speaking Out About Palestine

May 19, 2025 Anna Feder, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
After 17 years at Emerson College, I was fired for my activism in support of Palestinian liberation. My last day was October 11, 2024, just over one year into the genocide in Gaza and ongoing ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestine. Over my time at Emerson, I established my professional home, weathering the financial crash and the pandemic. During my time, I helped organize the professional staff with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and served my peers as a steward. I started a free, public film series with a strong focus on social justice cinema that I successfully ran for over twelve years.

Israel To Allow ‘Basic Quantity’ Of Aid Into Gaza After Total Blockade

May 19, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
The Israeli government has approved the entry of “basic” amounts of aid into Gaza following three months of total blockade that has significantly compounded the humanitarian crisis in the strip, coinciding with the start of Tel Aviv’s new military operation. The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on 19 May that the flow of aid is being renewed “at the recommendation of the IDF and due to the operational need to enable the expansion of intense fighting to defeat Hamas.” Netanyahu’s office added that Israel “will allow the entry of a basic quantity of food for the population in order to prevent the development of a hunger crisis in the Gaza Strip,” given that such a crisis “would endanger the continued operation to defeat Hamas.”

Activists Showed Up JCB For ‘Bulldozer Genocide’ At 80th Anniversary Event

May 19, 2025 The Canary. , , , , ,
On Sunday 18 May, British bulldozer manufacturer JCB was due to celebrate its 80th anniversary at its headquarters in Rocester in the British midlands with a so-called ‘sportive’, a cycle ride which aimed to raise money for the children’s charity NSPCC. However, the sportive did not go according to plan thanks to people highlighting JBC complicity with Israel. Activists from the Stop JCB Demolitions Campaign disrupted the event. They turned it into an expose of JCB’s complicity in ethnic cleansing and genocide. On top of this, they shamed NSPCC for accepting funds from a company which has destroyed children’s lives in Palestine, India, and Kashmir, plunging them into homelessness, poverty, and lasting trauma.

Over 45 members of public sector unions and local advocacy groups joined to learn about Divest MN, the state campaign to get the State Board of Investment to divest public employee pensions from genocide and apartheid.

Chris Hedges: The New Dark Age

May 18, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
Cairo, Egypt — It is 200 miles from where I am in Cairo to the Rafah border crossing into Gaza. Parked in the arid sands in the northern Sinai of Egypt are 2,000 trucks filled with sacks of flour, water tanks, canned food, medical supplies, tarps and fuel. The trucks idle under the scorching sun with temperatures climbing into the high 90s. A few miles away in Gaza, dozens of men, women and children, living in crude tents or damaged buildings amid the rubble, are being butchered daily from bullets, bombs, missile strikes, tank shells, infectious diseases and that most ancient weapon of siege warfare — starvation. One in five people are facing starvation after nearly three months of Israel’s blockade of food and humanitarian aid.

Israel Just Launched Its Offensive To Permanently ‘Conquer’ Gaza

May 18, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Massive explosions shook the Gaza Strip in the first hours of Saturday morning as Israeli warplanes launched intensive airstrikes on north, south, and central Gaza, in what the Israeli army called “preparations to expand operations” in the Strip. Israeli airstrikes hit Khan Younis, Deir al-Balah, several parts of Gaza City, and Jabalia. A resident of the Shati’ refugee camp in Gaza City told Mondoweiss that “the occupation army had issued orders to evacuate Shati’ camp, but they called off the orders — and then they called for an evacuation again, keeping residents in constant anxiety.” “Then, yesterday night, they began bombing all over Gaza, including Shati’ camp,” the Shati’ resident added. “It lasted all night.”

How NYT Reports On Weaponized Famine So You Don’t Have To Give A Damn

May 18, 2025 Janine Jackson, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , , , , , , , ,
More than two months ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a complete blockade of aid—including food, water and medical supplies—from entering the besieged Gaza strip. It’s a severe escalation of Israel’s now 19-month genocide against Palestinians in Gaza—and what the World Health Organization (5/12/25) has described as “one of the world’s worst hunger crises, unfolding in real time.” With no replenishing stock, aid groups have begun running out of supplies to distribute to families in need. The UN Relief and Works Agency (5/16/25) reports that their “flour and food parcels have run out,” and that “one third of essential medical supplies are already out of stock.”

Trump’s Deals With Gulf Leaders Are An Explicit Act Of Feudalism

May 18, 2025 Aseel Saleh, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , , , ,
All eyes were on US President Donald Trump last week during his tour of the Gulf Arab states, with many hoping that his trip would speed up Gaza ceasefire talks and bring a permanent truce in the war-torn enclave. While the ceasefire is still out of reach, the trip proved to be one of Trump’s most lucrative business journeys ever. Trump’s first major overseas trip in his second presidential term started on Tuesday, May 13 and ended on Friday, May 16, during which he visited three Gulf oil-producing countries, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Dr. Saeed Dhiyab the General-Secretary of the Jordanian Democratic Popular Unity Party (Wihda Party) criticized the heads of the Gulf Arab countries who hosted Trump.
