Palestine

No, Israel Does Not Have ‘A Right To Exist’

July 15, 2026 Craig Mokhiber, Mondoweiss. , , ,
News that, in the midst of the genocide in Palestine, the German parliament was this week advancing legislation that would criminalize speech that denies that Israel has a “right to exist,” with penalties of up to five years in prison, came as a surprise to virtually no one.  This is, after all, the same Germany that perpetrated genocide first in Namibia and then in Europe, and is now actively and enthusiastically participating in the ongoing genocide in Palestine while brutally repressing all who dare speak out against it inside Germany.  Indeed, alongside Israel and the U.S., the German state today has the dubious distinction of being among those most captured by Zionist interests and most corrupted by Zionist ideology. 

Dr. Feroze Sidhwa Reports On The Atrocities Being Committed In Gaza

July 13, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , , ,
July 2 marked 1,000 days of the current phase of escalated genocide of Palestinians, particularly in Gaza. The Israeli military continues bombing and murdering Palestinians daily despite a ceasefire and blockading food, medicines and other supplies from entering Gaza. Clearing the FOG speaks with Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a trauma surgeon from the United States who has volunteered in Gaza twice and has spoken out about the atrocities being committed there. He reports on the state of the healthcare system and the illegal detention and torture of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and other Palestinians. Dr. Sidhwa makes the critical point that the United States is behind and responsible for all of the crimes being committed by the Zionist state.

Palestine And The Role Of The Activist Intellectual

July 13, 2026 Philip Weiss, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
Bruce Robbins is a professor of literature at Columbia. His new book Who’s Allowed to Protest explores the new McCarthyism in which campus supporters of justice for Palestine serve as the “new Communists, identified in the media… as supporters of violence and terror whose presence in American institutions is intolerable.” Liberals have failed to defend the protesters’ rights, Robbins writes. While right-wing critics have sought to discredit the protesters as spoiled elitists, and the left-wing critique of “unwarranted privilege” has also undermined the role of elites. Robbins’s book responds by outlining the obligations of the privileged to speak out.

UN Panel Reaffirms Israel Commits Genocide

July 11, 2026 Jessica Corbett, Consortium News. , , , ,
Just over 1,000 days into Israeli forces’ genocidal violence against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, a United Nations commission has forcefully denounced Israel’s treatment of health workers from the besieged territory and specifically demanded “the immediate, unconditional, and safe release” of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. Israel has detained Abu Safiya without charge since capturing him at Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, where he was the director, in December 2024. Renewed calls for Abu Safiya’s release have mounted in recent days following his transfer to the underground Rakefet interrogation facility at Nitzan Prison, where his lawyer, Nasser Odeh, said that his life is at risk.

AI’s Rise Is Being Fueled By The Sprawling US Military State

July 10, 2026 Sarah Lazare, In These Times. , , ,
Hossam Nasr was never under the impression Microsoft is a force for good, but says he ​“did genuinely believe it to be one of the lesser evil big tech companies.” So when he graduated with a computer science degree, he took a job there and moved to its Seattle campus in 2021. ​“I sort of felt like I had to work at a big tech company,” he recalls, ​“because that was the definition of what success in my field looks like.”  To his horror, he discovered the cloud storage service he worked on, Azure, provided the Israeli military with artificial intelligence tools essential to the post-October 2023 onslaught on Gaza.

Chris Hedges Report: What Happens ‘When the World Sleeps’?

July 9, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , ,
Francesca Albanese, the special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories comprising the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, is one of the singular most courageous voices against the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the savage repression meted out to Palestinians in the West Bank. Her detailed UN reports have been fearless examinations of the machinery of apartheid and genocide and Israel’s disregard for international humanitarian law. She has been viciously attacked. The Trump administration ordered the U.S. Department of Treasury to classify her as a “specially designated national”, cutting her off from the global financial system and blocking any U.S. citizen and corporation from engaging with her.

Palestinian Families Have Barricaded Themselves Inside Their Homes

July 9, 2026 Shathad Hammad, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Bassam Ideis opens the large gate leading to his home’s courtyard in the Masoudiyya area of the northern West Bank to welcome his guests, staying by the entrance to shut it quickly behind him. Before walking away, he turns back after a few steps to check that it’s locked. Settler incursions from the new outpost erected on May 15 have increased of late. He checks the lock again, just to be sure. On either side of the gate, a long fence encircles the Ideis family home. Iron shutters have been placed over every window. Children rarely come out to play in the courtyard, and the entire property looks abandoned from the outside.

Israel Is Murdering Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya

July 8, 2026 James North, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
By now, editors at the New York Times and producers at CNN are surely squirming over what to do about Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the Gazan doctor and hospital director who Israel has locked up for a year and a half without trial, and who says his jailers are trying to kill him. Worldwide campaigns, by Amnesty International and other human rights groups, have called for Dr. Abu Safiya’s release and global media coverage has been significant. Britain’s flagship newspaper, the Guardian, has naturally already reported about Dr. Abu Safiya. Here is its July 6 headline: “Detained Gaza doctor almost unrecognisable after injuries in Israel jail, lawyer says.”

Monsters Playing Victims

July 7, 2026 Ramzy Baroud, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
Whether Israelis will ever comprehend the irreparable damage inflicted upon their country’s reputation by their U.N. ambassador, Danny Danon, is a moot point. The damage Israel has done to itself through its barbaric practices in occupied Palestine is simply impossible to overcome. Danon, however, utilizes a peculiar approach to defending Israel within international institutions: he relies on bullying, intimidation, and an overt attempt to silence anyone who dares to challenge the official Israeli narrative — particularly women leaders.

Confronting The Palestine Exception Of The American Historical Association

July 7, 2026 Juan Cole, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
The American Historical Association (AHA) was founded in 1884, a time of continuing dispossession, displacement, and assault on Indigenous peoples; systematic discrimination and violence targeting Black, immigrant, and other marginalized communities; and when women were denied the right to vote. The early AHA was often complicit in such exclusionary practices, with non-US and non-European histories relegated to the association’s sidelines. Thanks to the intergenerational struggle of students and scholars to hold the AHA accountable to higher standards, the association has come a long way since.

Salt Lake City Protest At Raytheon Facility On July 4

July 6, 2026 Adam Koritz, Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Salt Lake City, UT – On July 4, dozens of protesters gathered to demonstrate at the Raytheon Applied Signals Technology facility located in an industrial area on the outskirts of the city. Raytheon, a company long since linked to U.S. and Israeli war crimes, is the target of a new campaign by the Utah Anti-War Committee. Protesters began the event chanting, “Not another nickel, not another dollar, we won’t pay for Raytheon’s slaughter!” Speaking on behalf of the Utah Anti-War Committee, Nova Morra stated, “I am done being complicit in a genocide."

Dr. Hussam Abu Safia Faces Risk Of Death In Israeli Prison

July 5, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, the Kamal Adwan Hospital director who was abducted from Gaza by Israel in late 2024, is facing an immediate risk of death due to the torture and severe negligence he has been subjected to by his jailers, the physician’s lawyer said on 4 July.  “Alarming new information conveyed by … Abu Safia's lawyer, in cooperation with Physicians for Human Rights, conclusively demonstrates that Israeli occupation authorities are intensifying direct targeting of Dr. Abu Safia by subjecting him to systematic torture and harsh detention conditions,” Palestinian Prisoners’ Club (PPC) said.

Victory Rally After Reinstatement Of SJSU Professor Dr. Sang Hea Kil

July 3, 2026 Tim Phan, Fight Back! News. , , , , ,
San Jose , CA – On June 30, San Jose State University Professor Dr. Sang Hea Kil of the Justice Studies Department held a victory rally after her arbitration allowing her to return go with full backpay. This came after a protracted campaign where she bravely resisted her firing due to her vocal disapproval of the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Palestine. She was the first tenured professor to be fired from a public university for speaking against the genocide in the wake of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. At the rally outside of the Martin Luther King Library, Dr. Kil triumphantly exclaimed, “This is an incredible victory for free speech, academic freedom, student protest, freedom of assembly and pro-Palestine speech on campus and beyond.”

Gaza Marks 1,000 Days Of Genocide

July 2, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Palestinian resistance factions released a joint statement on 2 July marking 1,000 days of Israeli genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip, while affirming their right to resistance against occupation “by all forms.” “One thousand days have passed since the beginning of the Zionist genocide in Gaza, carried out with direct support from the US administration and western governments,” the joint statement said.  “We affirm our people's right to resist [occupation] in all forms, and the necessity of escalating resistance in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and all our occupied land. We reject any foreign tutelage over our people and affirm that the administration of the Gaza Strip is an internal matter,” it added. 

Weaponizing Civil Death To Crush Dissidents

July 2, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , , ,
The war on information in the West has tread new grounds since the genocide in Palestine. Journalists and media outlets who report on the imperialist endeavors of the ruling class increasingly find themselves under the boot of legislators who concoct fascist legislation to act as imperial henchmen. Their methods are stretching the limits of the law with the scope and severity of the punishments imposed. Nowhere is this repression more apparent than in Germany where, since October 7 of 2023, governments have banned languages and symbols related to Palestine and many people, not only journalists but also professors, doctors and lawyers, have lost their jobs for speaking out against the genocide or participating in pro-Palestine demonstrations.
