West Splits On Israel: US threatens ICC And Allies Over Arrest Warrant

November 24, 2024 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, charging them with war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. This historic decision has led to a political split in the West. The European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia have expressed support for the ICC. On the other hand, the United States is openly attacking the ICC and threatening to impose sanctions. US President Joe Biden blasted the ICC’s charges as “outrageous”. The White House said it “fundamentally rejects” the Court’s order.

The Right Wing Action Plan To Take Down The Palestine Movement

November 23, 2024 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
The Heritage Foundation got a lot of publicity during this election cycle for its infamous Project 2025. But that’s not the only project they intend to carry out now that Donald Trump is returning to the White House. Project Esther is a new proposal from Heritage that claims to lay out a plan to combat antisemitism in the United States. In fact, it aims to destroy the Palestine solidarity movement as a first step in a crusade to, ultimately, restrict activism against American policy of all sorts, foreign and domestic. . It’s not a new enterprise, of course.

US-Israeli Barbarity In Lebanon

November 23, 2024 Craig Murray, Consortium News. , , ,
I could not tell the easy, comforting lie. “No,” I told the woman, her traumatised children clinging to her legs, “I can’t say you are safe here; not one of us is safe. The Israelis are genocidal. But in Lebanon so far, I don’t think they have bombed a school.” I was with 67 families, with 215 children, who are living as refugees in a small school at Ain Rumaila in Southern Beirut. The area borders the evacuated suburb of Dahiya which the Israelis are systematically demolishing, and bombings rattle the windows of the school every day. This woman is a school teacher when at home in Southern Lebanon, and her husband a retired soldier.

Israel: Beginning Of The End

November 22, 2024 Stefan Moore, Consortium News. , , ,
Contrary to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s bellicose July 24 speech before a joint session of the United States Congress pledging to achieve “total victory” over Hamas, Israel is being decisively defeated – militarily, economically and as a society. On the battlefield — despite Israel’s genocidal campaign of bombing, mass starvation and assassinations — the prospect of victory over Hamas and Hezbollah is now seriously disputed by many of Israel’s former and current military and intelligence officials. “The country really is galloping towards the edge of an abyss…losing more and more soldiers as they get killed or wounded,” wrote former General Yitzhak Brik in Haaretz.

Israel’s Genocide Day 412: Israel Kills 87 Palestinians In Gaza

November 22, 2024 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians in a military raid on Jenin that lasted more than 48 hours between Wednesday and Thursday. Local residents told Mondoweiss that Israeli forces entered the industrial area in Jenin late night Wednesday and headed towards the city’s refugee camp, where they clashed with Palestinian fighters. The Israeli army also took over several rooftops and installed snipers on the refugee camp’s perimeter. Shortly before the start of the invasion of the refugee camp, Israeli forces raided the village of Kufr Dan, to the west of Jenin city, where the Palestinian Red Crescent said that its teams treated a Palestinian man wounded by a live bullet in the chest.

Why Did The FBI Show Up At Alison Weir’s Door?

November 22, 2024 Robert Inlakesh, MintPress News. , , , , ,
Journalist and author Alison Weir has raised concerns over what she describes as an unsettling visit from the FBI, alleging that agents showed up at her home unannounced to question her. In a public statement on November 18, Weir revealed that she was approached by agents who informed her the visit was connected to a matter involving Press TV, the Iranian state-owned news outlet. She said she asked agents to allow a family member to be present before continuing the discussion, during which she learned the agents had been directed by one of their offices to “check in with certain people.”

Mass Blockade At Air Force Base Protesting The Arming Of Israel

November 22, 2024 The People's Arms Embargo, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Travis AFB/Fairfield, CA – On Wednesday, as reported by police authorities, 28 people were arrested in a mass nonviolent rally and "human blockade” that blocked all 4 entrances into Travis Air Force Base, the state’s largest air base, to “Nonviolently stop the supply chain for weapons to Israel.” All arrestees were charged with misdemeanor "failure to comply with a lawful order,” and released by 4 p.m. Wednesday, and given January court dates. Travis has been a key air base transporting US weapons to Israel in it’s yearlong military offensive in Gaza, which many experts, nationally and globally, are calling a genocide. 

White House Sabotages Senate Vote To Block Israel Arms Sales

November 20, 2024 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
The US government is lobbying Democratic senators to vote against legislation that would halt $20 billion worth of arms sales to Israel, according to US officials who spoke with the Times of Israel on 20 November. “Biden aides have argued that the weapons in question are essential for Israel’s defense and won’t be delivered for another year or two, ‘so the likelihood of them being used in this iteration of the Gaza context is very low,’” the Israeli daily cites the sources as saying, adding that officials from the White House, State Department, and Pentagon have reached out to “various lawmakers on the fence about how they might vote.”

United Nations Security Council Votes On Draft Ceasefire Resolution

November 20, 2024 Al Mayadeen. , , ,
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will vote on a draft resolution calling for an "immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire to be respected by all parties in the Gaza Strip, informed sources told Al Mayadeen. Informed sources explained that the draft resolution reiterates the Council’s demand for the "immediate and unconditional release" of all captives and rejects "any effort to starve the Palestinian population." The resolution also calls for "immediate access to essential services and humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza, facilitating the wide-scale entry and delivery of humanitarian assistance, including to civilians in the besieged north Gaza."

US Tries To Pound Lebanon Into Submission

November 19, 2024 Craig Murray, Consortium News. , , , ,
Israel has intensified its air strikes on Lebanon and in particular on Beirut, ahead of a visit on Tuesday or Wednesday by U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein, at which he will press Lebanon to accept a U.S./Israeli ceasefire plan. This plan is touted as being based on U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 [of 2006], but in fact represents its abnegation. You may have noted that neoliberal politicians and media pundits, who ignore and denigrate every other U.N. resolution on the Middle East, are suddenly very enthusiastic about UNSCR 1701. This is because it mandates withdrawal of Hezbollah forces to the north of the river Litani.

Pro-Palestine Protests Erupt In Rio Ahead Of G20 Summit

November 19, 2024 Al Mayadeen English. , , , , , , , ,
Hundreds of protesters marched along Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Copacabana Beach on Saturday, rallying in solidarity with Palestinians and addressing global issues just days before global leaders gather for the G20 summit. The peaceful demonstration, held under steady rain and watched by heavy security, aimed to send a message to the heads of state and government convening in the city on Monday and Tuesday. Protesters carried Palestinian flags and banners demanding an end to Brazil-"Israel" relations and a halt to military funding for "Israel's" genocidal campaign in Gaza and Lebanon.

Protests At Weapons Companies Expose Canada’s Involvement In F-35s

November 18, 2024 World Beyond War. , , , , , , ,
On Saturday November 16, hundreds of people gathered outside 16 factories and facilities across the country to expose Canada’s involvement in the production and maintenance of the F-35 fighter jets that are devastating Gaza and Lebanon, and to demand that Canada impose an immediate, two-way arms embargo on Israel. Each targeted company produces components of Lockheed Martin’s flagship war plane, which Israel is using to drop 2000 lb bombs on residential neighborhoods, schools, and refugee camps in what is already the most destructive bombing campaign of the twenty-first century.

Israel Convicted Of Genocide At People’s Tribunal In Rio De Janeiro

November 17, 2024 Brasil De Fato, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
Israel was convicted of genocide against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip on Friday, November 15. The ruling was made by the People’s Tribunal, which brought together jurists, lawyers, and activists at the Fundição Progresso in Rio de Janeiro (RJ) to judge the crimes of capitalism. “In the case of the genocide of peoples, the evidence in the case file reveals that the people of Palestine, particularly in Gaza, have been subjected to colonialism for 76 years and have been suffering genocide for 409 days, openly practiced by the State of Israel with the complicity of the United States, Germany and other European and Western countries,” says the sentence read out by judge Simone Dalila Nacif, from the Brazilian Association of Jurists for Democracy (ABJD), who presided over the session.

‘Strong US Pressure’ Behind Muffled Israeli Response To Iraqi Resistance

November 17, 2024 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Iraq's State of Law coalition revealed on 16 November that Israel is under “strong pressure” from the US to prevent any response to ongoing operations in support of Palestine by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI). "There is pressure from the United States of America on the Zionist entity to prevent it from carrying out any strikes against Iraq, for fear of straining the relationship between Baghdad and Washington, especially since there is a joint security agreement between the two countries, and for this reason, America is putting strong pressure on the entity," Saad al-Muttalibi, a senior member of the coalition told Shafaq News.

Another Blow Struck Against Canada’s Largest Pro-Israel Charity

November 17, 2024 Anna Lippman, Canadian Dimension. , , , ,
On November 8, another blow was struck against one of Canada’s most prominent Israel-serving charities. In August, the Canada Revenue Agency notified the Jewish National Fund Canada that its charitable status was being revoked due to the organization’s contravention of Canadian charity law. This week, the JNF’s application for a judicial review of the revocation was denied. While this story is far from over, the ruling holds great significance for Palestine solidarity activists in Canada and around the world. Founded in 1968 as the Canadian branch of the Jewish National Fund, JNF Canada is notorious for its role in greenwashing the Israeli occupation and settlement expansion in the West Bank.
