Maccabi’s Birmingham Match Met With Protests

Protests took place in Birmingham on Thursday, November 6 as local football club Aston Villa faced Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv. The match took place after authorities banned visiting supporters over security concerns. Palestine solidarity groups and anti-racist organizations called for the match to be fully canceled, citing the violent record of Maccabi supporters and the club’s support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. “Allowing football clubs from a state committing genocide and implementing apartheid to compete in international competitions normalizes its atrocities, and sends the signal that there are no consequences for them,” the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) stated ahead of the match.

The Right To Resist Is The Right Of The People!

Just days after the Zionist entity of “Israel” signed the ceasefire agreement with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, numerous violations were already reported, including the firing on civilians, the blocking of the full amount of daily aid convoys promised, and failure to withdraw soldiers from all areas stipulated in the ceasefire. After two years of outright genocide and over 75 years of an openly racist settler colonial regime enacting apartheid law, there is little to be surprised about regarding “Israel’s” behavior. The question is not why "Israel" has repeatedly violated its own agreements and international law, as that is to be expected from a rogue entity committing genocide.

Palestine Solidarity In US Labor Will Come From The Rank And File

As Israel’s genocide in Gaza intensified in late 2023, a small number of U.S. labor unions began calling for a ceasefire. Others soon joined in, and many also started calling for a halt of military support to Israel. For many union members, statements didn’t go far enough, so they formed new national networks or pushed their unions to divest from Israel. Some even went on strike. Pro-Palestine organizing within U.S. unions is not new, but the breadth of criticism of Israel’s actions and sympathy with Palestinians coming out of the labor movement may have signaled a shift away from U.S. labor’s historic support for the Zionist movement and the State of Israel

Over 150 New York Times Contributors To Boycott Paper Over Gaza Coverage

More than 150 New York Times contributors have signed a pledge not to write for the US newspaper's opinion section, citing its “biased coverage” of the Israel-Palestine conflict and war on Gaza. “Until The New York Times takes accountability for its biased coverage and commits to truthfully and ethically reporting on the US-Israeli war on Gaza, any putative 'challenge' to the newsroom or the editorial board in the form of a first-person essay is, in effect, permission to continue this malpractice,” the signatories to the letter wrote. “Only by withholding our labor can we mount an effective challenge to the hegemonic authority that the Times has long used to launder the US and Israel’s lies,” the writers added.

New Yorkers Organize Against Weapons Components Manufacturer

On June 24, 2024, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Al-Daraj clinic in Gaza City, killing five, including key medical personnel. Recovered from the ensuing rubble was the remnant of a Hellfire missile, strewn amidst the chaos of destruction it unleashed on the clinic in moments prior. The AGM-114 Hellfire, a brand of precision-guided weaponry, is manufactured by Lockheed Martin, funded through U.S. federal contracts, and often purchased by Israel through American foreign military sales. While Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor responsible for manufacturing the Hellfire missile, it procures key components from Mini-Circuits, a company specializing in the manufacture of radio frequency (RF) and microwave components.

This Is The Moment To Scale Up Mobilizations For Palestine

It was a great honor to join the “Conscience”, a large ship with 92 participants. We were mainly medics and journalists because we wanted to emphasize that these are the two professions most targeted during the genocide in Gaza. We wanted to show solidarity with our colleagues there. Almost all participants had direct links with people in Gaza through humanitarian work or Palestinian NGOs like Awda Association. Several doctors on board had worked in Gaza during the genocide, and many journalists were in touch with Palestinian citizen journalists and local news agencies. We wanted to reach Gaza to report and to offer medical assistance: that was the core message of the “Conscience”. Normally, in any conflict, humanitarian workers and journalists have access to document conditions and preserve the right to health.

11 Arrested Protesting Minnesota Investment Board’s Israel Ties

Saint Paul, MN – On Tuesday, October 21, the typically quiet Retirement Systems Building was filled with chants of “Free Palestine” as advocates of divestment from Israel staged an all-day sit-in. The building houses the staff offices of the State Board of Investment (SBI), whose long-delayed quarterly meeting was held that morning in an online-only format in the board’s latest effort to avoid Palestine protesters. The SBI is chaired by Governor Tim Walz, joined by Attorney General Keith Ellison, State Auditor Julie Blaha and Secretary of State Steve Simon. Growing numbers of public employees, pension holders and other community members have spoken at quarterly SBI meetings, calling on it to divest state-managed funds from the state of Israel and companies complicit in Israel’s apartheid system and genocide in Gaza.

McGill University Professors And Librarians Endorse Boycott Of Israel

On October 10, 2025, the McGill Association of University Teachers (MAUT) succeeded in passing a resolution at a special general meeting endorsing the academic and cultural boycott of Israel. The resolution calls for the association to “take all necessary steps to implement the boycott of Israeli academic institutions, while ensuring that the boycott applies to institutional partnerships and agreements, not individual Israeli academics.” This principled stance taken by full-time professors and librarians is a major victory at a university where such an action was thought to be impossible until recently.

Activists Rally, Fill Courtroom For Mahmoud Khalil

Philadelphia - Oct. 21. Dozens of pro-Palestine activists and other supporters of Mahmoud Khalil filled the courtroom and an overflow room today, while others rallied outside the federal court here. Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and Palestinian activist, appeared before a hearing of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals to determine if he would be returned to custody or remain free. No decision was made at today’s hearing. Khalil is a legal resident and green card holder. He was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last March 8 in New York City.

Somerville For Palestine Initiative Is On November Ballot

Somerville, Massachusetts - “Disclose! Divest! We will not stop, we will not rest!” This chant rang out loud and clear at the Somerville for Palestine (S4P) meeting in Somerville, Massachusetts, on Oct. 6, when members and friends learned that 8,000 of their 11,400 petition signatures were legally certified by the Election Commission. The Commission also overruled an objection by the right wing to the ballot initiative. It will be on the ballot in November as Question 3. For the past seven months, 288 volunteers have been canvassing people to sign a petition directing the Somerville City Council to stop using taxpayers’ money to fund Israeli genocide.

Thousands Of Film Workers Pledge To End Complicity With Genocide

In recent months, a wave of artists throughout the entertainment industry has begun speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. On September 8, more than 1,200 film workers — including A-list stars like Olivia Colman, Tilda Swinton, and Riz Ahmed — publicly pledged to refuse any work with Israeli film companies that are “implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.” Since September, thousands more filmworkers have signed onto the pledge, with the number of signatories now exceeding 5,000. “Both the language of this pledge, which echoes the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement’s emphasis on institutional complicity, and its material commitment to reject offers to work with nearly all Israeli film companies, represent a significant shift for a film world dominated by executives who have either remained silent about or vocally supported Israel’s genocide in Gaza for the past two years.

FIDH Report: The Repression Of The Solidarity Movement With Palestine

Behind the fight against hate, a trend of repressing dissenting voices is emerging. Titled Criminalisation and Narrative Control: Solidarity with Palestine in the Crosshairs, the report documents how across all the countries studied, the dynamics observed since 7 October 2023 have intensified pre-existing structural trends: the continued shrinking of civic space, the weakening of democratic safeguards, the normalisation of Islamophobia, and the institutionalisation of racial profiling. Under the guise of maintaining public order, fighting antisemitism, or protecting national security, authorities have resorted to exceptional measures such as bans on demonstrations, arbitrary arrests, repression within academic institutions, media censorship, and legislative threats.

Francesca Albanese Wins ‘Lay Down Your Arms’ Award

Lay Down Your Arms awards its annual prize to the United Nations special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories – as the person who, in accordance with Alfred Nobel’s will, has “done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations and for the abolition or reduction of standing armies as well as for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” Francesca Albanese [who is a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize] has forcefully and unwaveringly worked against Israel’s full-scale war on the occupied Palestinian territories, in particular Israel´s ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. She has confronted Israel’s systematic war crimes and crimes against humanity in a truly global outreach.

Spain To Submit ICC Complaint Against Israel Over Attack On Flotilla

Spain’s Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska announced on 7 October that Madrid will submit a formal complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over Israel’s kidnapping of hundreds of activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. Grande-Marlaska said any assault on civilians in international waters constitutes an act of unlawful detention under both Spanish and international law. On Sunday, 29 Spanish activists who were part of the flotilla landed in Madrid after being detained by Israeli forces in international waters. Many of the activists were subjected to “physical and psychological ill-treatment” while in detention.

The Effects Of US-Israel Bond Are ‘Etched Into The Mass Graves Of Gaza’

As the number of Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza exceeds 67,000 and famine has reached the “catastrophic” phase, thousands of taxpayers across the country have united with Palestinian-Americans to file an international legal complaint against the U.S. government for funding Israel’s genocide in Gaza. An initial petition was filed in the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) in Washington D.C., on May 15, 2025, by Taxpayers Against Genocide (TAG) and the National Lawyers Guild. It charged the United States with aiding and abetting Israel in its commission of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Gaza, in violation of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide, and the Geneva Convention. The petition alleged that the U.S. violated the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man.
