Venezuelan Popular Movements Protest ‘Against Imperialism And Zionism’

July 29, 2026 Ricardo Vaz, Venezuelanalysis. , , , ,
Caracas, Venezuela - Hundreds of Venezuelan activists took to the streets on Friday, July 24, to denounce the US and Israeli presence in the Caribbean nation. The rally “against imperialism and Zionism” took place in Caracas’ Plaza Bolívar and was organized by the Anti-Imperialist Front, a newly-formed coalition of grassroots movements that reject Washington’s growing influence over Venezuelan affairs. The demonstrators chose July 24, commemorating the 1783 birth of independence hero Simón Bolívar, to emphasize the importance of national independence and sovereignty.

Israel Builds Massive Barrier Inside Gaza To Partition Beyond ‘Yellow Line’

July 23, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
According to satellite imagery released on 21 July, the Israeli army is constructing a ground barrier extending hundreds of meters beyond the so-called “Yellow Line” in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip, effectively partitioning the enclave and deepening its military presence there. The imagery, reviewed by both AP and Haaretz newspaper, shows Israeli forces building a 23-kilometer earthen barrier, which has been described as a partition effort. The barrier is mainly a trench that has allowed Israel to expand its control and occupation across around 65 percent of the strip. 

Washington Declares Launch Of ‘Pilot Zones’ In South Lebanon

July 21, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Washington announced the launch of its so-called “pilot zones” program in south Lebanon on 20 July, as part of a US-brokered deal between Beirut and Tel Aviv that was signed last month in violation of Lebanese laws.  “Today, pilot zone operations began in the villages of Froun, Srifa, and Zawtar al-Gharbiya in accordance with the Trilateral Framework and under the auspices of the Military Coordination Group for Lebanon,” the US State Department said in a statement.  “This milestone is a direct outcome of last week’s discussions between Israel and Lebanon in Rome. The US will continue working closely with both parties to implement the Framework to a successful conclusion,” the statement added. 

Tyrin Johnson Is Dead; Memphis Is Occupied

July 21, 2026 Earle J. Fisher, Truthout. , , , ,
I met Tyrin “Ty” Johnson neither through a police report, nor through a press conference, nor through the carefully crafted statements of elected officials or the endless speculation that too often follows the death of a young Black man, but rather through the people who loved him most: his mother, his grandparents, his great-grandmother, his aunts, and the grief that filled the room where they gathered only days after his death. I would find out later that I’ve known one of his cousins for over 25 years. They did not describe a headline.

Ansarallah-Led Forces Mobilize En Masse Across Yemen

June 29, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Yemeni tribes nationwide are mobilizing en masse to prepare for renewed conflict with the Saudi-led coalition, following a call from the Ansarallah leader for the “expulsion of occupiers.” Multiple local reports on 29 June and statements from officials confirmed widespread popular movements and mobilization across Yemen. SABA reported that a “massive armed gathering was organized on Monday by tribes of Al-Mansouriya district in Hodeidah to declare the full mobilization and complete readiness [for a battle] to reclaim the rights of Yemenis.” 

Palestinians Resist Israel’s Efforts To Take Over Solomon’s Pools

June 26, 2026 Majd Jawad, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Just days after Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stormed Bethlehem’s Solomon’s Pools in late May, accompanied by hardline Knesset member Zvi Sukkot, both of whom went swimming in one of the pools in an act of provocation, the local Palestinian community responded. A group of residents from Dheisheh refugee camp arrived at the site, Palestinian flags in hand, and jumped in. The community’s response was more than just a knee-jerk reaction to the Israelis — it was an act of defiance. Since that first protest, the ancient site has become almost unrecognizable.

National Guard ‘Summer Surge’ To Strengthen Military Occupation Of DC

June 4, 2026 G. Seb, People's World. , , ,
Washington, DC — The Department of Justice has ordered a massive increase in the number of National Guard troops to be deployed in Washington, D.C., for the upcoming 250th anniversary celebration of U.S. independence. U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro justified the need for a summer surge of federal officers and troops in the city in response to “teen takeovers” that have occurred in neighborhoods like Navy Yard, despite recently-established curfew laws. The Trump administration—along with Pirro and city politicians who have aligned with the federal government on more policing and National Guard presence—has pointed to events like a recent teen fight at a Chipotle restaurant in Navy Yard as proof of the need for more troops.

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 7, 2026 Stephen Millies, Struggle - La Lucha. , , , , , , ,
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.
