Operation Al Aqsa Flood

Anti-Imperialism And The Tricontinental Vocation

December 4, 2024 Hanna Eid, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , ,
Radical economist Samir Amin understood well that revolutionary offensives against the imperialism of the triad (USA, EU, and Japan) will come from the tricontinental sphere of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The peripheries of the world-system are where the contradictions of capitalist-imperialism are the most heightened, and where the fissures can be exploited. According to Amin, we must analyze social struggles at three levels: the popular classes, nations, and states. This essay seeks to validate Amin’s argument by highlighting the anti-imperialist victories in the tricontinental sphere, while also providing a dose of hope and vitality against the defeatist attitude present in much of the US left since the victory of Trump, the Zionist massacres across West Asia, and the renewed attempts by imperialism to dismantle anti-systemic movements and States.

August 23, 2024 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
ِAn Israeli negotiating team will head to Egypt in the coming days in order to resume the latest round of ceasefire talks that started last week, Israeli media sources reported on Thursday. The team will hold talks with Egyptian and Qatari mediators and with U.S. officials over the status of the Philadelphi corridor and the Rafah land crossing. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield addressed the UN Security Council on Thursday, stating that a ceasefire deal was “in sight,” despite evidence that Netanyahu is once again aiming to sabotage the talks by insisting on holding onto the Philadelphi and Netzarim corridors, hence continuing to occupy Gaza and maintain an indefinite military presence in the coastal enclave.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the Middle East on Sunday for the ninth time since last October in an attempt to advance the talks for a ceasefire deal in Gaza.

On Sunday, Blinken told the media that the current talks are the last chance to achieve a ceasefire and free Israeli captives. Blinken also said that the talks are currently in a critical phase, calling on Hamas and Israel to refrain from taking steps that could sabotage them. Meanwhile, Israeli public broadcasting quoted an Israeli official saying that the remaining issues to settle in the ceasefire talks include the maintenance of Israeli forces in the Philadelphi corridor along Gaza’s border with Egypt and that differences between Hamas and Israel on this issue can be settled.

The Philosophy Of Hamas In The Writings Of Yahya Sinwar

July 5, 2024 Haneen Odetallah, Mondoweiss. , , ,
The following was originally published in Arabic in Babelwad, titled “The Philosophy of Hamas: Politics and Existence According to Yahya Sinwar,” by Haneen Odetallah. The author uses Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s novel, “Thorns and Carnations,” as a lens through which the mindset of the contemporary resistance can be analyzed, delving into themes of self-reliance, sacrifice, and security awareness. Odetallah explores how these concepts are ingrained in individuals to foster political ascendancy and collective liberation, illustrating the strategic and existential dimensions of resistance and providing a unique perspective on the ideological framework of the resistance.

Former Israeli Captive In Gaza Says Biggest Fear Was Israeli Airstrikes

June 8, 2024 Robert Inlakesh, MintPress News. , , , , , ,
In an interview with Israel’s Haaretz, a former Israeli soldier who was held captive in the Gaza Strip said his biggest fear of being killed was from Israeli airstrikes, not Palestinian fighters. In the interview, 70-year-old Louis Har, an Israeli who was held captive in the Gaza Strip, recounted his “biggest fear was the IDF planes and the fear that they would bomb the building we were in. It is clear that this is war, and the IDF is working. I was a soldier myself. But the feeling that it could be our bombs, our planes—that is what will make us die—is very scary and very stressful.” The exclusive interview, published in Hebrew and not yet released on Haaretz’s English-language website, offers a glimpse into the reality of Israelis held as prisoners of war in Gaza.
