From The Battle of Okinawa To The New Cold War

January 21, 2026 Tings Chak and Atul Chandra, People's Dispatch. Educate! Occupation, Okinawa, US military, Wars and Militarism

We descended into Chibichibi Cave in southern Okinawa with the heavy feeling that this was not a site of distant history, but a warning. The cave is low enough that you have to bend forward as you walk. The air is damp, the light disappears quickly, and the air becomes suffocatingly warm. In April 1945, as US forces landed on the island, 140 Okinawan civilians (mostly elders, women, and children) hid here. Eighty-five of them would die by their own hands. Parents killed their children first, then themselves. This was not an act of collective madness, nor a cultural predisposition to suicide.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen announced on 14 January that talks with US officials at the White House did “little” to budge Washington's position on annexing Greenland. Rasmussen said the US remained fixed on acquiring the Arctic territory, despite Danish objections and warnings that such a move would violate sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination. “We did not manage to change the American position,” he told reporters after the meeting in Washington. Present at the talks were Rasmussen, Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt, US Vice President JD Vance, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Greenland Prime Minister Responds To Trump’s Threats

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, on 5 January, publicly rejected renewed threats by US President Donald Trump calling for US annexation of Greenland, warning Washington to “stop the threats against a historically close ally.” “It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the US needing to take over Greenland,” Frederiksen said, stressing that “the US has no right to annex any of the three countries in the Danish Kingdom.” The Danish PM noted that Denmark, “and thus Greenland,” is a NATO member and protected by the alliance’s collective security guarantees.

Preparing An Illegal Occupation In Venezuela

I listened to the January 3 press conference with a knot in my stomach. As a Venezuelan American with family, memories, and a living connection to the country being spoken about as if it were a possession, what I heard was very clear. And that clarity was chilling. The president said, plainly, that the United States would “run the country” until a transition it deems “safe” and “judicious.” He spoke about capturing Venezuela’s head of state, about transporting him on a U.S. military vessel, about administering Venezuela temporarily, and about bringing in U.S. oil companies to rebuild the industry.

Israel’s Expanding ‘Yellow Line’ Swallows Gaza Districts

When Ahmed Hamed returned to his home in Gaza City after the ceasefire, it stood about 1.5km west of the so-called “Yellow Line” enforced by Israel. Two months on, that distance has shrunk to roughly 200 metres. “Before the war ended, our home was in a dangerous area, and it was difficult for us to return,” the 31-year-old Palestinian journalist told Middle East Eye. “We waited two weeks after the ceasefire to make sure it was safe.” Eventually, the family went back to their house near the Shujaiya neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City. Almost immediately, the sounds of war returned with them.

DC Residents Blast Trump’s ICE ‘Occupation’ At Hearing

December 7, 2025 Mark Gruenberg, People's World. Resist! City Council, National Guard, Occupation, Washington DC

Washington, DC - Residents of Washington, D.C., are upset and unhappy with Donald Trump’s ICE troops’ invasion, occupation, and deportations–and with their own officeholders’ cooperation with it. So a parade of 150 witnesses let the City Council know it in a day-long hearing on December 4. They didn’t get much satisfaction, however, from the council members who attended. Councilmember Brooke Pinto, D-2nd Ward, who chaired the session, explained the city’s hands are tied because Washington is really under federal control and subject to Trump’s edicts and his troops. Council Chair Phil Mendelson (D) gave lip service to witnesses’ complaints while pushing an unrelated piece of legislation.

Report: Trump-Led ‘Board Of Peace’ Considers ‘Expropriating’ Gaza Land

November 24, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Donald Trump, Gaza, Israel, Occupation, Palestine, Report

Following the passage of a UN resolution authorizing the US plan for post-war Gaza, President Donald Trump's so-called "Board of Peace" is considering 'expropriating" land from Palestinian owners displaced from the Israeli-controlled half of the strip, Haaretz reported on 23 November. Citing US officials and diplomats, the Israeli newspaper said the Board of Peace, headed by Trump, would be a "cornerstone" of the US plan for Gaza. "As outlined in the United Nations Security Council resolution adopted this week, the Board of Peace will coordinate the delivery of humanitarian assistance and facilitate Gaza's development," one US official said.

Unifor Workers Threaten To Occupy GM Plant

Unifor Local 88 has threatened to take over the GM CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Ontario if the company attempts to remove anything from the building. This comes after GM announced last month that it was pausing production of an electric cargo van at the plant which put more than 1,000 jobs at risk. Members of Unifor Local 88, which represents the workers employed by the plant, quickly took to the streets to call for the protection of Canadian jobs. “For nearly four decades, Unifor Local 88 members at the GM CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll have built vehicles that drive Canada’s auto industry forward,” a web post by Unifor reads.

Palestinians In Gaza Reject UN Security Council Approval Of Trump’s Plan

The UN Security Council voted on Monday in favor of a U.S.-backed resolution establishing an “International Stabilization Force” (ISF) in Gaza under a “Board of Peace” headed by U.S. President Donald Trump. Under a two-year mandate, the stabilization force is reportedly planned to have an “executive” role in Gaza, not just as a peacekeeping force. The ISF is being established under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which means it is being granted the authority to disarm Palestinian resistance factions, aligning with Israeli demands, and could be established unilaterally, without the approval of the Palestinians. The UN Security Council resolution voted 13-0 in favor of the resolution, with two permanent members, Russia and China, abstaining from the vote.

Western Sahara’s Decolonization At Crossroads After 50 Years

November 15, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. Resist! Decolonization, Morocco, Occupation, Sahrawi, Western Sahara

On November 6, the Sahrawis marked 50 years of occupation by the Moroccan kingdom, and continued resistance by activists, risking street violence, arrests, custodial torture, forced disappearances, and rapes by the occupation’s security forces. The anniversary came at an ominous time for the cause of Sahrawi liberation. The US, UK, and Europe, especially France, are bringing ever more pressure on the international community to legitimize the illegal occupation of Western Sahara by Morocco, which in turn is handing over the occupied resources for Western countries to loot.

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.

Israel Is Trying To Divide Gaza In Half Along The ‘Yellow Line’

Today, there are essentially two Gazas. One is ruled by Hamas as the de facto governing body in the Strip, and makes up about 47% of the territory. The remaining 53% is under the total military control of the Israeli army. Separating these two zones is an invisible border that’s being called “the Yellow Line,” splitting Gaza roughly in half down the middle. Even though Israel has been placing yellow cement blocks all across Gaza to demarcate the line, it’s supposed to be temporary. But what makes it very real is the number of people who are being killed near it.

Iraq Can Only Disarm Militias Once US Troops Leave The Country

November 4, 2025 Middle East Eye. Educate! Iraq, Lebanon, Occupation, US military

Iraq will only be able to disarm its militias after US troops leave the country, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani told Reuters in an interview on Monday. Sudani’s comments come ahead of Iraq's highly anticipated parliamentary elections on 11 November. Sudani is balancing between Washington, which is critical for Iraq’s dollar transactions, and neighbouring Iran, which backs a constellation of mainly Shia militias called the Popular Mobilisation Forces. Sudani is courting public support ahead of elections as he seeks a second term in office.

Recognizing Palestinian Statehood Is The Floor

Since I first opened my eyes to this world as a third-generation refugee, I was taught that the notorious Balfour Declaration had brought upon us this long, unrelenting history of suffering. Issued in 1917, the statement declared the British government’s support for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. It blatantly denied our existence in our own homeland, instead granting the Jewish people the right to establish their nation on land that is ours — under cover of the myth of “a land without a people for a people without a land.” Our homeland, with its people, was then presented on a gilded plate to Zionist militias and, eventually, the state of Israel, both of which wasted no time in massacring and displacing the Indigenous population during the Nakba and beyond.

Trump And The UN’s New ‘Gang Suppression Force’ Will Invade An Already Occupied Haiti

October 4, 2025 Danny Shaw, Popular Resistance. Educate! Haiti, Militarization, Occupation, United Nations, Western imperialism

On September 30th, the UN Security Council voted 12 in favour to none against, with 3 abstentions (China, Pakistan, Russian Federation), “to authorise Member States to transition the Multinational Security Support mission [in Haiti] to the Gang Suppression Force for an initial period of 12 months. Among other terms, the organ decided that the Force shall have an authorized personnel ceiling of 5,550, consisting of 5,500 uniformed personnel — comprised of both military and police — and 50 civilians.” The UN stated that the mission is scheduled to be for just one year, but all evidence points towards an extended occupation with the U.S. using The Global Fragility Act which Trump signed into law in 2020 to justify the action.
