Synagogues That Sell Stolen Palestinian Land Should Be Protested

May 14, 2026 Maura Finkelstein, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
As the State of Israel and the United States collectively engage in innumerable forms of spectacular state violence, the question of who has the right to protest and where continues to be used as a distraction. The latest debate once again involves the “Great Israeli Real Estate Event,” organized by the Israeli land-theft organization, My Home in Israel. The event, which occurs annually, is sponsored and hosted by Jewish community organizations, including synagogues, all over the United States. This month, events were held at the Park East Synagogue in New York City’s Upper East Side neighborhood on May 5 and at Young Israel of Midwood in Brooklyn on May 11.

Palestinian Supporters Attacked By Cops At Stolen Land Sale

May 5 — New York City police attacked people protesting illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land. Officers used pepper spray and kettled demonstrators. Some of these cops were trained by the Zionist state’s military, who’ve committed genocide in Gaza. The protest was called by PAL-Awda NY/NJ, which has long been campaigning against these illegal land sales. Members of Healthcare Workers 4 Palestine, CUNY 4 Palestine and other groups also participated. The stolen land sale had been condemned by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whose election campaign featured support for Palestinian rights.

Israel Is Implementing Its Gaza Strategy In Lebanon

April 4, 2026 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
While the US-Israeli war on Iran and its economic repercussions on the global economy continues to be at the center of global media attention, Israel is in the process of re-drawing the map of the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon. If successful, Israel’s plans could have regional and global repercussions. And yet, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon has barely made a blip on the Western media’s radar.  Last week, Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, said that Israeli forces will not leave the south of Lebanon after the end of the current war. Katz’s statements are in line with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said last weekend that he had instructed the Israeli army to expand its control in the south of Lebanon up to 10 kilometers, to create a “security buffer zone.”

Iran War Blowback: Iraqi Resistance Targets US Forces

April 3, 2026 Robert Inlakesh, Mintpress News. , , ,
The US-Israeli attack on Iran has revived a 23 year old war front in Iraq, a blowback against the US military that continues over two decades after the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. Unlike in 2003, today’s Iraqi resistance is proving capable of successfully combating American forces and it appears to be adapting tactics used in the Russia-Ukraine war. A force, born out of the disastrous rise of Daesh (ISIS) in Iraq, is now turning its guns on another invading army, reviving bad blood between Washington and Baghdad that spans decades. The Iraqi front in the ongoing regional war could prove to be one of the most decisive, as the Popular Mobilisation Units (PMU/PMF/Hashd al-Sha’abi) could muster up to 250,000 fighters if fully mobilised.

KKK-Style Israeli Lynching Leaves American Teenager Dead

February 23, 2026 Middle East Monitor. , , , , , , ,
Details have emerged of the killing of a 19-year-old American from Philadelphia who was shot dead by an armed Israeli settler during a raid on the Palestinian village of Mukhmas in the illegally occupied West Bank. The events were reconstructed by journalist Jasper Nathaniel, who interviewed multiple eyewitnesses present during the attack. Nasrallah Abu Siyam was killed on the first full day of Ramadan after masked settlers, some armed with automatic weapons, stormed the small shepherding community alongside Israeli soldiers. At least four other Palestinians were shot, several more were beaten with metal rods, and more than 300 sheep and goats were driven off by settlers as troops fired tear gas and stun grenades into residential areas.

Netanyahu Strikes Out In Washington

February 13, 2026 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a hasty trip to Washington this week. He met with U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday, and the main topic of discussion was a potential war with Iran.  In an unusual, though not unique, turn of events, very little about the meeting was made public. There was no press conference, no major statement, not even a readout from either the American or Israeli side.  Aside from Iran, the only other topic mentioned specifically was Gaza, and this tells us something. Given the major developments in the West Bank earlier this week and the response those developments have gotten from Europe and some Arab and Muslim states, the fact that there was no specific mention of the West Bank is significant. 

Judge Dismisses Bid To End ‘Occupation’ Of Minneapolis

February 4, 2026 Marjorie Cohn, Consortium News. , , , ,
U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez last Saturday found evidence that ICE and border patrol agents in Minneapolis “have engaged in racial profiling, excessive use of force, and other harmful actions.” Nevertheless, she refused to issue a preliminary injunction temporarily halting “Operation Metro Surge.” The state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sued Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other immigration officials five days after ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents murdered Renee Good and 12 days before the public execution of Alex Pretti by border patrol agents in the streets of Minneapolis.

The US Occupation Of Gaza Has Begun

January 31, 2026 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
This week, Drop Site News revealed a draft resolution from Trump’s newly christened “Board of Peace.” The resolution outlines what is, in essence, Phase Two of Trump’s unrealistic peace plan that ushered in a new phase of horror in Gaza under the guise of a ceasefire.  The actions outlined in the resolution ignore realities on the ground and paint a very grim picture of what the United States is planning for Gaza. Far from abandoning the ludicrous and offensive imagery Trump shared in that AI video from last year of himself and Elon Musk on a beach in an unrecognizable Gaza, this resolution is the battle plan to turn Gaza into the playground for the wealthy that Jared Kushner presented to the World Economic Forum at Davos last week.

From The Battle of Okinawa To The New Cold War

January 21, 2026 Tings Chak and Atul Chandra, People's Dispatch. , , ,
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 FM: ‘Talks Did Little To Dissuade White House From Greenland Plan

January 16, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
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

January 5, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
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

January 3, 2026 Michelle Ellner, CODEPINK. , , ,
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

December 13, 2025 Maha Hussaini, Middle East Eye. , , , , , ,
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. , , ,
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. , , , , ,
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.
