Israel

Hold Israel Accountable Under The UN Convention On The Rights Of The Child

February 10, 2025 Palestine-Global Mental Health Network, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
A so-called “ceasefire” has done nothing to halt the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. Israel’s government is escalating policies that jeopardize the very lives of Palestinian children, and powerful nations are complicit through their silence or direct endorsement. Even now, terror and bloodshed continue in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, while the U.S. administration signals tacit support for what amounts to ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Under the Biden administration, sanctions were imposed on extremist Israeli settlers—17 individuals and 16 entities over 11 months—to curb violence against Palestinians.

Netanyahu Sabotaging Second Phase Of Gaza Ceasefire

February 10, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Israeli sources believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to sabotage the second phase of the prisoner release deal and derail the Gaza ceasefire, Haaretz reported on 9 February. "It's a show," said one source. "Netanyahu is signaling quite clearly that he doesn't want to move to the next phase. He's sending a team without a mandate and without the ability to do anything," the source added. In a sign the Israeli Prime Minister is not serious about reaching the next phase of the deal, he sent a delegation to Qatar that is only allowed to discuss "technical details" rather than begin the second stage of the talks, a senior official said.

Human Rights Expert: Trump Plan For Gaza ‘Worse Than Ethnic Cleansing’

February 10, 2025 Marjorie Cohn, Truthout. , , , , , , ,
Donald Trump’s outrageous plan to remove the Palestinian people from Gaza, assume U.S. ownership of the Gaza Strip and make it into the “Riviera of the Middle East” reveals his intent to commit a war crime and a crime against humanity. What Trump proposed during a February 4 news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House is “unlawful, immoral and irresponsible,” Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, said at a February 5 press conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. “This is worse than ethnic cleansing. It’s forced displacement … which is an international crime.”

The United Kingdom Must Push Back Against Trump’s ICC Plan

February 10, 2025 The Canary. , , , , ,
Donald Trump has signed an executive order that will sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC), placing financial and visa sanctions on individuals and their immediate family who assist ICC investigations against Israelis and Americans. The Executive Order comes after last week’s efforts to pass a bill entitled the ‘Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act’ in Congress. The bill hit a stumbling block when it received 54 votes in favour and 45 against, falling short of the 60 votes required for it to go ahead to a final vote. Instead, Trump has issued an Executive Order to implement the sanctions.

US / Israel-Backed Overthrow Of Syria Was Blow To Palestine Liberation

Opposition forces backed by NATO member Turkey launched an offensive in Syria, in coordination with Israel and the United States, on November 27, 2024. Within 11 days, the government of the Syrian Arab Republic was toppled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a group led by Abu Mohammad al-Julani, who now uses his birth name Ahmed al-Sharaa. Sharaa, who was appointed the unelected “president” of Syria, was previously leader of Al-Nusra Front, the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda. He was also an emissary of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the founder of ISIS.

The Only Way To Stop Netanyahu-Trump Plan To Eliminate Palestine

February 8, 2025 Muhannad Ayyash, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
During their joint press conference this week, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that all Palestinians will be forcibly displaced from the Gaza Strip, the U.S. would take “ownership” of the Strip, and eventually rebuild it as the “Riviera of the Middle East” to be inhabited apparently by everyone from around the world (but clearly, they meant Israeli Jews), but not by the Palestinians who will be forcibly expelled from Gaza. For Trump, those Palestinians must be moved to Egypt, Jordan, and elsewhere once and for all.

Trump Plans To ‘Take Over’ Gaza And Expel Palestinians

February 8, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , ,
When Donald Trump campaigned for president in 2024, he told the Israeli-American Council that, during his first administration, “I was the best friend Israel ever had”. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agrees. In a press conference at the White House, Netanyahu told Trump, “You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House”. Since returning for his second term as US president, Trump has been as pro-Israel — and as anti-Palestinian — as he could possibly be. Trump signed an executive order calling to deport international students who protest Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people.

Bowdoin Students Launch First Gaza Solidarity Encampment Of Trump Era

February 8, 2025 Brett Wilkins, Common Dreams. , , , , , ,
Activists at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine have launched what is believed to be the first Palestine solidarity encampment since President Donald Trump took office, occupying the first floor of the liberal arts school's student union to protest the U.S. leader's proposal to take over the Gaza Strip and expel its native Palestinian population. Bowdoin Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) occupied the first floor of Smith Union on Thursday night and erected tents there, The Bowdoin Orient reported. They named the encampment after Sha'ban al-Dalou, a 19-year-old computer engineering student at al-Azhar University in Gaza who burned alive in a refugee tent encampment bombed by Israel last October.

Chris Hedges Report: Arab Regimes And The Betrayal Of Palestine

February 7, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , , ,
Farah El-Sharif, writer, academic and Visiting Scholar at Stanford, is uncompromisingly blunt in her assessment of the Middle East. The decades of repression faced by an entire people have produced a fragmented society—culturally and through colonially imposed borders. To help understand why the Muslim world is so broken, corrupt and full of contradictions, El Sherif joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report. “The systemic repression that Muslim communities worldwide experience is inextricably linked to the interventionist, expansionist, supremacist American-Israeli Western project,” El Sharif says.

Tom Brady And Snoop Dogg’s Super Bowl Ad Isn’t What You Think

February 7, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , , , ,
Football star Tom Brady and rap legend Snoop Dogg will appear in a big-money Superbowl ad denouncing hatred. The ad is paid for by the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, a group staffed by Israel lobbyists that attempts to equate opposition to Israel’s destruction of Gaza with anti-Jewish racism. The group was founded by billionaire owner of the New England Patriots, Robert Kraft, who is one of the pro-Israel Lobby’s most generous benefactors. Kraft has used his power to attempt to crush the nationwide Palestine solidarity movement on campus and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

US Officials Backtrack On Trump’s Illegal Gaza Gambit

February 6, 2025 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
A day after all hell broke loose in reaction to President Donald Trump’s plan to remove 1.8 million Palestinians from Gaza, which he said the U.S. would rebuild and make a U.S territory, administration officials began backtracking as it emerged that only Trump himself knew he would make the plan public. Asked in Guatemala about Trump’s intention to relocate the Palestinian population from the Gaza Strip, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that Palestinians would be allowed to “move back in,” which was not what Trump had said the day before.

Protesters March On White House To Oppose Netanyahu’s Visit

Washington, DC – On Tuesday night, February 4, hundreds of protesters gathered at Lafayette Square, near the White House, to raise their voices and stomp their feet in opposition of the meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump. Organized by Palestinian Youth Movement DMV, Md 2 Palestine, Party for Socialism and Liberation, and the Muslim American Society, the organizers united around the demands to arrest genocidal Zionist Netanyahu, the end of all U.S. aid to Israel, and no normalization of relations between occupied Palestine and Israel.

Palestine Action Once Again Hit Allianz In Dramatic Overnight Raid

February 6, 2025 The Canary. , , , , , ,
Palestine Action has once again piled the pressure on genocidal insurer Allianz – as it continues to prop-up Israel’s weapons manufacturer Elbit amid Donald Trump’s calls for ethnic cleansing in Gaza. During the early hours of 5 February, Palestine Action once again targeted Allianz, this time with a direct action protest at the company’s Milton Keynes office. The action has been taken as part of an escalating campaign to force Allianz to drop its financial ties and end its insurance policies for Elbit Systems – Israel’s largest weapons firm and a key player in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Erik Prince Smells Blood In Gaza And He’s Ready To Cash In

February 6, 2025 Robert Inlakesh, MintPress News. , , , , , ,
On January 20, as Donald Trump took office for the second time, it seemed that the “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay, which had recently marked the 23rd anniversary of its opening, might become as marginalized and generally forgotten as it was in his first term in office, when he largely sealed it shut for four years. Last Wednesday, however, and seemingly out of the blue, Trump suddenly announced that he had just issued a new executive order, “Expanding Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantánamo Bay to Full Capacity”, to expand an existing migrant detention facility at the naval base

Trump Reiterates Plan To Remove Palestinians From Gaza

February 5, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , , ,
On Tuesday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became the first foreign leader to meet Donald Trump in The White House during his second term. The meeting took place amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations between the Israeli government and Hamas. Speaking with reporters after the meeting, Trump made the stunning announcement that the United States would try to take over Gaza. “The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too,” he said. “We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out.”
