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.

Google AI Workers Unionize Against Tech Giant’s Role In US, Israeli War Crimes

On 6 May, Google DeepMind workers in the UK asked management to recognize the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and Unite the Union as their workplace representatives, as staff prepare to challenge the use of Google AI technology by the US and Israeli militaries. “We don’t want our AI models complicit in violations of international law, but they already are aiding Israel’s genocide of Palestinians,” one DeepMind employee said. “Even if our work is only used for administrative purposes, as leadership has repeatedly told us, it is still helping make genocide cheaper, faster, and more efficient.

We Have To Restore People’s Confidence In Collective Strength

In a recent interview with German Foreign Policy, Peter Mertens talks about the wave of protests in Belgium against the erosion of workers’ rights and social standards, which has been ongoing for more than a year. Mertens is an author and General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Belgium (PVDA-PTB), which has participated in the trade union-led demonstrations and strikes from the outset and is currently the strongest party in the capital region of Brussels, polling at more than a quarter of the vote. Mertens argues that the link between social protests and the fight against militarization is obvious: “It is the same people who are footing the bill for both”; this is “impossible to ignore”.

We Will Never Abandon Our Prisoners Alone In Their Struggle

For over five decades, Palestinians have observed Palestinian Prisoner’s Day on April 17 as a national day to honor the thousands of Palestinian political detainees held in Israeli occupation prisons, highlight their struggle, and demand their freedom. In commemoration of the day, which is considered by Palestinians as a sacred occasion of patriotism and loyalty, Peoples Dispatch spoke to Mr. Raed Abu al-Hummus, head of the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs. Abu al-Hummus, who is also a freed Palestinian prisoner, assumed his new position in the commission with the rank of minister in February 2025, amid highly challenging political and security circumstances.

Salah Sarsour: A Pillar Taken, A Community That Will Not Yield

There are people you meet in the struggle for Palestine and justice who leave a mark not because of titles they hold or platforms they command, but because of who they are — quietly, consistently, and without asking for anything in return. Salah Sarsour is that kind of person. And the fact that he is sitting tonight in a detention facility, torn from his family and his community by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who pulled him over with no legitimate cause, is an injustice that demands that every one of us speak. I first met Salah over thirty years ago, when I was beginning to organize for Palestine on a national level and found myself visiting the Muslim community in Milwaukee.

Global Sumud Flotilla: We Refuse To Wait

The Global Sumud Flotilla will set sail from Barcelona this Sunday, April 12, 2026, joined by Open Arms and Greenpeace’s Arctic Sunrise. While countries trade ceasefire announcements, the Israeli regime’s assault on Gaza and ground offensive in Lebanon continue as of this morning, underscoring how little has changed for civilians under fire and how urgent it is to act. The flotilla’s strategy and purpose are clear: to challenge israel's illegal siege on Gaza, deliver aid, and confront the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and the complicity that enables it.

UK Mass Crackdown On Palestine Activism: Chaos In The Courts

The conviction of two leaders of the Palestine solidarity movement, Chris Nineham, the vice-chair of the Stop the War Coalition, and Ben Jamal, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, for breaching police conditions as organisers of a peaceful Palestine protest has been widely seen as a direct assault on the right to protest. But it’s far from the only case of its kind. In fact state overreach is causing confusion in the UK court system, as it struggles to cope with hundreds of cases brought under the Public Order Act and anti-terrorism legislation.

Why I Resigned From The UN To Join The Gaza Freedom Flotilla

Chloé Fíona Ludden is a scientist who grew up between France and Ireland. She describes herself as a “curious person,” scientifically-minded, who has long been driven by questions like, “How can supposedly rich and developed societies tolerate so much poverty and inequality?” She studied environmental governance, and worked at multiple research institutes and international organizations, including the European Union, IPCC and the United Nations Secretariat. As a person, she strives “to restore a sense of the future as a place where we actually want to go.”

The Planes Across The Tarmac

From the warehouse floor at Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport (OAK), Talia Rose can see the FedEx planes. “They’re directly across the tarmac from me,” they told me. Rose works the overnight shift at the UPS air hub. Most days, they clock in before dawn, when much of Oakland is asleep. Metal containers — ULDs — are rolled off the aircraft and pulled into the building. Rose unloads them, sending boxes down conveyor belts to be sorted and routed. Sometimes they’re on the other side, throwing freight toward outbound trucks. It’s physical work, repetitive and precise.

Australia: Thousands Mobilize To Protest Israeli President Visit

Thousands of anti-genocide demonstrators rallied across Australia on 9 February to protest a visit by Israeli President Isaac Herzog, with large gatherings in central Sydney and further actions planned nationwide. Police clashes were reported as protests spread beyond Sydney, with thousands rallying in Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, and other cities, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).  Officers were seen restraining demonstrators in Sydney as crowds chanted slogans opposing Herzog’s visit.

Mediterranean Dockworkers Launch Historic International Strike

Dockworkers in more than 20 ports across the Mediterranean marked a historic moment today as they launched an international day of strike and protest against war and rearmament. Dockers also protested the privatization and militarization of port infrastructure. Unionists involved in preparing the action described it as the result of a long and complex process, built on dockworkers’ solidarity with Palestine and their struggles for dignified working conditions at home. The impact of the strike was felt even before it fully unfolded on February 6, as reports emerged of ships – vessels that regularly transport military cargo to Israel – disrupting their itineraries due to the actions.

The US Workers Who Went On Strike For Gaza

The most significant U.S. labor strike in the past two years in solidarity with Palestinians started with a simple premise. According to Nate Edenhofer, a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, ​“Everybody has some sort of vision of how they think the society we live in should be — most of them don’t think of it as being a genocide.” Edenhofer was part of organizing that strike, the only major strike so far from U.S. labor to defend the Gaza protest encampments and oppose the mass killing of Palestinians since Oct. 7, 2023.

NFL Athlete Fined Over Palestine Solidarity Message

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez al-Shaair was fined by the National Football League (NFL) for displaying a pro-Palestinian “Stop the genocide” message during a televised game, ESPN reported on 18 January. The linebacker wore the message of solidarity beneath his eyes during a pre-game team address before Houston faced the New England Patriots, but removed the message before kickoff. The brief display followed an earlier league penalty for wearing the same message during live play. Al-Shaair was fined $11,593 the previous week for violating NFL uniform rules that prohibit unapproved personal or political messaging.

Australian Writers’ Festival Cancelled After Disinviting Palestinian Author

One of Australia’s largest art festivals has axed its writers’ week amid a boycott by more than 180 authors and guests after the cancellation of Randa Abdel-Fattah, a prominent Palestinian-Australian author and scholar. In a statement published on Tuesday, the Adelaide Festival’s board said its “decision has created more division and for that we express our sincere apologies”. It also added that its three remaining board members would also be stepping down. Four board members - including the chairperson of the festival - had resigned over the weekend. The board also added that it “apologise(d) to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah for how the decision was represented”.

Denver Anti-War Protests Target New Palantir Headquarters

Denver, CO – On December 21, protesters gathered at the Cherry Creek Financial House in Denver for a noise rally to protest at the new headquarters of Palantir. The tech and AI surveillance company has plans to move into the new Cherry Creek location after months of community organizing have made their downtown headquarters untenable. Palantir, whose technology is widely used by ICE to track immigrants and by Israel to facilitate genocide in Gaza, was invited to place its headquarters in Denver by Colorado Governor Jared Polis, after protests drove them out of California in 2020.
