Pro-Palestine Political Prisoners On Hunger Strike Are Dying

September 5, 2025 Calla Mairead Walsh, Counter Punch. , , , , , , ,
Political prisoner T. Hoxha is dying. She is on her 18th day of hunger strike in HMP Peterborough in protest of the prison’s politically-targeted abuses. One of the Filton 24 detained indefinitely under the UK’s “Terrorism Act” while awaiting trial next spring, Hoxha is alleged to have participated in the heroic dismantling of an Elbit Systems weapons factory, causing €1 million in damages. Over two weeks into her strike, Hoxha’s loved ones report that her physical and mental health is deteriorating fast, her hair is falling out, her jaw is in pain, and her brain fog is worsening, while the prison neglects her medical care. Supporters on the outside are organizing a call-in campaign to demand the prison administration give her electrolyte sachets and meet her demands.

Brazilian Oil Workers Join Genoa Dock Workers To Defend Global Sumud Flotilla

September 4, 2025 La Izquierda Diario Argentina, Left Voice. , , , , , , ,
Brazil’s National Federation of Oil Workers (FNP) and its various unions are demanding that the government of Brazilian president Lula guarantee the safety of Brazilian activists aboard the flotilla bound for Palestine. The Global Sumud Flotilla, the largest international humanitarian aid mission in history, is attempting to break the illegal blockade imposed by the Israeli government. In a statement, the union declared: Palestine is a country recognized by Brazil, and access for Brazilian and other civilians must be guaranteed by the Brazilian government. It is unacceptable that an invading force prevents civilians on a humanitarian mission from reaching Gaza to deliver aid to millions of people exposed to famine due to Israeli policy.

Italian Dockworkers Prepared To Strike For The Global Sumud Flotilla

September 3, 2025 Pola Posen, Left Voice. , , , , , ,
On August 31, 2025, the Global Sumud Flotilla set sail. This flotilla is the most recent and largest coalition of activists from around the world who have embarked to reach Gaza, breaking the siege and delivering humanitarian aid, by sea. Israeli officials have threatened that consequences for the activists will be worse than previous ventures, including detaining participants in prisons reserved for state-designated terrorists and seizing the ships to be turned into Israeli police assets. Amidst this escalation, Italian dockworkers in the Port of Genoa are prepared to go on strike to defend the flotilla in an act that would majorly disrupt global shipping. This act shows the decisive role that the working class has to play in the protection of the Flotilla, the defeat of Israel’s genocidal project in Gaza and the expansion of its occupation of the West Bank.

Xi Jinping Proposes A New Global Governance Framework At SCO Summit

September 3, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
The 25th Heads of State Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) concluded in Tianjin, China, on Monday, September 1, with the adoption of the Tianjin declaration, which calls for a peaceful and equitable global governance and increased South-South cooperation. The summit highlighted the “fluid and chaotic global situation” created due to the unilateral actions of some countries in the West. It noted that the fast changing global scenario has a profound effect on all aspects of life. In this context, the SCO adopted a strategy for the development of the block in the next 10 years, reiterating its faith in international law and the UN charter.

People’s Conference For Palestine Draws Thousands Against Genocide

August 31, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , ,
The second annual People’s Conference for Palestine opened Friday afternoon, August 29, bringing together thousands of people of conscience in Detroit, Michigan. “Through this conference, I invite all of you to take part in the rich revolutionary tradition of Detroit,” said Nelson Garay, a member of Detroit’s People’s Assembly, a grassroots coalition fighting back against Trump’s policies. “In one voice, let us declare that we will not stand for the dehumanization of the Palestinian people, and we will not stand for anything less than their true liberation from a genocidal, apartheid state.” Taher Dahleh, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement and an activist in the labor movement through his membership in the Communication Workers of America, opened the conference by describing the major milestones in the Palestine solidarity movement since last year.

A Public Call For Accountability At The Harvard Education Publishing Group

August 26, 2025 Open Letter, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
We, the undersigned scholars, educators, and education practitioners write to express our alarm at the Harvard Education Publishing Group’s (HEPG) cancellation of a special issue on Palestine and Education in the Harvard Educational Review (HER). Such censorship is an attempt to silence the academic examination of the genocide, starvation and dehumanisation of Palestinian people by the state of Israel and its allies. As reported by The Guardian, contributing authors of the special issue were informed late into the process that the publisher intended to subject all articles to a legal review by Harvard University’s Office of General Counsel. In response to this extraordinary move, the twenty-one contributing authors submitted a joint letter to both HEPG and HER, protesting this process as a contractual breach that violated their academic freedom.

Norwegian Wealth Fund Drops Caterpillar, Five Israeli Banks

August 26, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Norway’s $2-trillion sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, announced on 25 August that it has dropped US-based construction and mining equipment manufacturer Caterpillar and five Israeli banks over their involvement in rights abuses in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. The banks – Hapoalim, Leumi, Mizrahi Tefahot, First International Bank of Israel, and FIBI Holdings – were cut after the fund’s Council on Ethics warned they posed an “unacceptable risk” of enabling serious violations. The Council said Caterpillar’s machinery has been used by Israeli forces in “extensive and systematic violations of international humanitarian law” through the destruction of Palestinian property.

Gaza Is The Compass: Second Annual People’s Conference For Palestine

August 24, 2025 People’s Conference For Palestine, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
For two years, Gaza has been a moral and political compass that has guided so many towards true liberation. Israel, with full US backing and support, is starving 2 million Palestinians, carrying out a plan for mass displacement and ethnic cleansing in both Gaza and the West Bank, and continuously bombing and shooting Palestinians with the number of martyrs rising daily. Israel’s brutality, though gruesome and with the ultimate price being paid by Palestinians in Gaza, resembles more the last thrashes of a dying beast, than it does a mighty force. Zionism itself is facing an existential crisis. Around the world, Israel’s murderous rampage has given it a spotlight for international scrutiny and has turned Zionism into a pariah among the world’s masses.

Australia: Tens Of Thousands Rally To Demand Sanctions On Israel

August 24, 2025 Middle East Monitor. , , , , ,
Tens of thousands of Australians rallied in more than 40 cities and towns on Sunday to protest Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, with participants calling for sanctions on Tel Aviv, local broadcaster SBS reported, Anadolu reports. Palestine Action Group organizers said the demonstrations aimed to pressure the federal government to sanction Israel and impose an arms embargo. Josh Lees, a rally organizer, estimated crowds of “about 40,000 here in Sydney, 50 or 60,000 in Melbourne, 10,000 in Hobart, thousands in Perth and Brisbane and everywhere else.” In Brisbane, police put the turnout at 10,000, while organizers claimed closer to 50,000.

Dutch Foreign Minister Quits Over Cabinet Refusal To Punish Israel

August 24, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Dutch foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp resigned on 22 August after he failed to secure harsher sanctions against Israel during a cabinet meeting with fellow ministers. “I see that I am insufficiently able to take meaningful additional measures to increase pressure on Israel,” Veldkamp said after a cabinet meeting of the caretaker government in which the Gaza genocide was debated. Veldcamp is a member of the centrist New Social Contract (NSC) party, which rules the Netherlands as part of a coalition with the center-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and the populist Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB). Veldcamp said the steps he had proposed were “seriously discussed.” However, he failed to win the support of NSC’s coalition partners.

Black People Who See Themselves In Palestinians Find Israel Sees The Same

August 18, 2025 Jon Jeter, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , ,
Zoharah Simmons’ first trip to Israel and its occupied territories in 1994 got off to an inauspicious start. Born Gwen Robinson in Memphis, Tennessee, the great granddaughter of a slave and a former organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee who volunteered to work in Mississippi during Freedom Summer, Simmons was hardly unfamiliar with European settler colonialism or the violence that is its motor. She was, however, caught off guard by what she experienced upon her arrival in Tel Aviv as part of a peace delegation with the American Friends Service Committee, a social justice organization founded by the Quakers. First, there was the matter of getting past Israel’s immigration and customs agents.

Why National Education Association Members Voted To Support Palestine

August 18, 2025 Gwen Lee and Samuel Karlin, Left Voice. , , , , , ,
As an educator, to me, it’s so important that students are part of the struggle. I know when I was in high school during the Vietnam War, anytime I asked about it, I was shot down and told, “What does that have to do with education?” It has everything to do with education. It has everything to do with growing new leadership and teaching students or helping students, assisting students take the leadership in terms of being involved in the movement for justice. In a sense, Trump and the policies of the federal government have done a lot of the organizing for us because there’s lots of young people who just really want to know what’s going on and want to be involved in stopping it, whether it be Palestine, fighting ICE, or actions against the terrorism of the police.

Gazans Go On Hunger Strike In The Midst Of Famine

August 17, 2025 Tareq S. Hajjaj, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
Wadea Abu Soud, a reporter for Yemen TV in Gaza and father of four, declared his hunger strike on July 20 alongside two of his colleagues. He says his hunger strike is a message to the world about the famine in Gaza, where most families can’t feed their children. “I am a starving journalist who is attempting to convey the suffering of his starving people,” Abu Soud says. Abu Soud is one of a growing number of journalists and first responders in Gaza who have declared that they are going on hunger strike in the midst of a famine. Their demand is that all of Gaza’s children must be fed. “Our voices are reaching the world,” Abu Soud says. “The occupation has failed to launder its lies to the world.”

New Yorkers Mobilize For Gaza As Protests Grow Around The World

August 17, 2025 Samuel Karlin, Left Voice. , , , ,
This month has been an especially horrific one in the nearly two-year-long genocide of Gaza. Israel is intentionally starving Gazans, threatening total occupation, and expanding their ethnic cleansing of Palestinian land to the West Bank. But this has all only fueled greater support for the movement for Palestine. The passive sympathy for Palestine which has been growing for a long time has begun to show more publicly. This was apparent in the August 16 rally for Gaza in New York City. The action was initially called by Palestinian Youth Movement and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, groups which have regularly called mobilizations since the start of the genocide.

Pro-Palestine Activists Target US-Backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

August 1, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
For days, pro-Palestine protesters in the Washington, DC metropolitan area have organized pickets and rallies to “confront” leaders of the now-infamous Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. On July 25, dozens of protesters gathered outside of the home of GHF’s Interim Executive Director John Acree, banging pots and pans, holding signs that read “our tax $$$ could fund UNRWA and end genocide but Joe + Don choose to fund genocide.” Demonstrators wrote a message in chalk on the asphalt: “WAR CRIMINAL LIVES HERE GOOGLE GHF”.
