From Royal Air Force Fighter Pilot To Gaza Blockade Buster

A British veteran has joined the largest aid flotilla to Gaza in history and is calling on the Royal Air Force (RAF) to end its intelligence support to Israel. Malcolm Ducker, who served as a fighter pilot in the RAF between 1972 and 1979, is sailing with a flotilla of over 50 boats loaded with aid for Gaza. The initiative is being led by the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), a “coalition of everyday people… who believe in human dignity and the power of nonviolent action.” The first boats departed from Spanish ports on Sunday but were briefly delayed due to bad weather. More ships are set to join the flotilla in Tunisia in the coming days before arriving in Gaza in mid-September.

Israel Bombed Qatar To Assassinate Hamas’s Lead Ceasefire Negotiators

Israel attempted to assassinate top Hamas leaders in Qatar on Tuesday, after large explosions were heard in the capital city of Doha, and smoke columns rose from the building targeted in the attack. A joint statement by the Israeli army and Israel’s internal intelligence agency confirmed that it was targeting Hamas’s senior leadership in a “precise strike.” The statement added that the targeted leaders were “directly responsible” for the October 7 attack and that “measures were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians.” Israeli media said that the strike targeted the office of the lead Hamas negotiator in the ongoing ceasefire talks, Khalil al-Hayya, in addition to other members of the negotiating team.

Propaganda 101: The Illusion Of Truth

The Israeli crimes perpetrated AFTER October 7th 2023 represent the reason why the October 7th events unfolded.  You read that correctly, but I’ll say it again: the Israeli crimes perpetrated AFTER October 7th are why the heroic Palestinian resistance (i.e. Hamas) attacked the Nazi Zionist apartheid terrorist entity to begin with. But what happened on October 7th?  This is something that’s been discussed extensively; discussed honestly only in rare cases, but distorted, misinterpreted and lied about the vast majority of the time.  This is because the doctrine/policy of (pro-)Israeli propagandists and their allies – the prostitutes of propaganda- such as CNN, the BBC, Fox News, Talk TV and countless others, conforms to the Nazi practices of Hitler and his minister Joseph Goebbels. 

Over 1,800 Prominent Film Figures Launch Boycott Of Israeli Films

Over 1,800 internationally known actors, directors, and film professionals pledged on 8 September to boycott Israeli film institutions that are “implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.” The pledge, released by Film Workers for Palestine, states, “As filmmakers, actors, industry workers, and institutions, we recognize cinema’s power to shape perceptions. In this urgent crisis, where many governments enable the carnage in Gaza, we must address complicity in this unrelenting horror.” It highlights that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has determined a “plausible risk of genocide” in Gaza and describes Israel’s occupation and apartheid policies as unlawful.

Banksy’s Latest Piece Has Already Been Shut Down

The street artist Banksy has unveiled a new piece at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. Looking at it, it’s clear he’s making a statement about the how the UK is increasingly using legal means to restrict the right to speak out. Fittingly, the powers-that-be immediately moved to hide his message from public view. Under Keir Starmer, Britain is increasingly keen to tell people what they shouldn’t do. Don’t protest. Don’t oppose the genocide. Don’t even call it a genocide. Don’t look at the Banksy. For the love of god, don’t look at the Banksy!

Hamas Says Leaders Survived Israel’s Attack On Qatar’s Doha

Jeremy Scahill, cofounder of Drop Site News, says the attack in Doha is “yet another sign” that “neither the United States nor Israel are interested in actually having a negotiated end” to the war on Gaza. Scahill underscored that Hamas made major concessions in accepting a ceasefire proposal last month, dropping demands for a timetable for Israeli withdrawal from the border area with Egypt and lowering the number of Palestinian captives it is requesting in exchange for Israelis held in Gaza. The veteran journalist said Israel did not even respond to the Hamas-approved proposal, and instead pushed on with the assault on Gaza City in a plan to forcibly displace more than one million Palestinians.

People’s Arms Embargo Campaign: No Weapons From Oakland To Israel

The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), Arab Resource and Organizing Center Action (AROC Action), and the US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) have partnered together to call for an end to all shipments of military cargo from ports of Oakland to Israel and to demand an Oakland Arms Embargo on Israel. Breaking research has uncovered Oakland's hidden and central role in transporting military cargo to the Israeli military. Shipments have been sent from Oakland to Israel multiple times per week, almost every single week this year. The fact that shipments of F-35 fighter jet components are flowing through the Oakland airport to the Israeli military has been concealed from the people of Oakland, our workers, our city officials, our families, and our educators. Together, we are launching a broad based coalition to demand an end to Oakland’s participation in genocide.

The Peoples Conference For Palestine: Another Step Forward

The well-organized Palestine conference in Detroit brought over 4600 there, with a heavy Palestinian presence. Most of the speakers in the plenaries were genuine Palestinian activists tested in battle, not well-known writers or professors. The over 270 journalists who have been targeted and murdered for informing the world of the endless US-Israeli slaughter of civilians were honored throughout the three days that included over 20 sessions and plenaries, exhibits, including Palestinian cultural performances, a grand vendor fair and art exhibits.  It was made clear that Israel is the US garrison state in the Middle East, out to break the Palestinian people’s resistance.

‘We Will Not Be Silent’: Hearing Stilled Voices Of The Gaza Genocide

In his last minutes of freedom before the Israeli army arrested him, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, clad in a medic’s white coat, walked alone toward two Israeli tanks. His captors awaited him amid the rubble of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan hospital. An artist swiftly created a dramatic poster showing Dr. Safiya striding through the ruins of the hospital he directed. The artist, David Solnit, recently updated the poster’s caption. It now reads: Free Dr. Abu Safiya, Eight months in prison Dec. 27, 2024 – August 27, 2025. Dr. Safiya had already endured agonizing losses at the Kamal Adwan hospital. In late October 2024, an Israeli drone attack killed his son, also a doctor.

Global Sumud Flotilla Advances Towards Tunisia Under ‘Harassment’ Of Surveillance Drones

The Global Sumud Flotilla is advancing towards Gaza and is already sailing towards Tunisia, divided into two large groups. Both expeditions will meet in Tunisia at the end of the week, when they will be joined by another twenty boats in what the organizers consider to be the “largest humanitarian mission in solidarity with Palestine.” Technical problems and bad weather have significantly delayed the flotilla’s schedule, which set sail on August 31 from Barcelona and has so far only been able to cover a handful of nautical miles. Harsh sea conditions forced several boats to be repaired, and after a particularly violent storm on Monday, September 1, the expedition was divided between the ports of Mahón (Menorca) and Barcelona.

Gaza Aid Whistleblower Arrested For Interrupting Senate Hearing

Two United States military veterans, including a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) whistleblower, were arrested for interrupting a Senate Foreign Affairs Committee hearing. They said “the U.S. government is complicit” in the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza and were quickly removed by U.S. Capitol police. GHF whistleblower Anthony Aguilar stood up. “You have an obligation to the Constitution of the United States.” Former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Josephine Guilbeau also spoke up. “Israel is ethnically cleansing Gaza. They’re building a concentration camp!” Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman James Risch declared, “Off to jail,” and when he hear Guilbeau, “Someone else is anxious to go to jail.”

Brooklyn Activists And Residents Are Banding Together Against Genocide

Most New Yorkers are not aware that companies contributing to Israel’s genocide in Gaza operate in their backyard. That is, unless they happen to walk, bike, or drive down Flushing Avenue outside the Brooklyn Navy Yard on a Wednesday afternoon, as I did a month ago—in which case, they are absolutely aware. The campaign Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard (DBNY) organizes weekly noise demos and pickets, demanding the eviction of two companies from the city-owned industrial park on the East River, where 550 businesses are located. Protestors bang drums, blare airhorns, picket, chalk sidewalks, fold zines, and hand out flyers reading: “MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS, EASY AERIAL & CRYE PRECISION, LOCAL WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS IN OUR BACKYARDS.”

Israeli Arms Maker Shuts Site After Sustained Anti-Genocide Protests

Israeli arms producer Elbit Systems closed its site in Bristol, UK, after years of protests by Palestine Action, The Guardian reported on 6 September. The facility at the Aztec West business park appeared deserted when the daily visited this week, with only a security guard present outside. Elbit Systems UK, a subsidiary of Israel’s largest arms manufacturer, has leased the site since 2019 under a contract running until 2029. The company did not comment on the status of the facility. The site had been the focus of repeated protests, including one on 1 July, just days before the UK government banned Palestine Action under the 2000 Terrorism Act.

More Than 425 Arrested As Protesters Defy Ban On Palestine Action In London

More than 425 people have been arrested at the largest demonstration yet opposing the proscription of Palestine Action. Defend Our Juries, who organised the demonstrations, said there were 1,500 sign-holders in Parliament Square on Saturday at a fresh protest in London against the ban. At the previous major demonstration last month, 532 people were arrested for taking part. Participants gathered in Parliament Square by 1pm, many holding signs that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” At just after 9pm, the Metropolitan police said it had made more than 425 arrests. The Met’s deputy assistant commissioner, Claire Smart, who led the operation, said: “In carrying out their duties today, our officers have been punched, kicked, spat on and had objects thrown at them by protesters.

How Administrators Failed To Stop The Presses At The University Of Texas

It would have been easy for the small team of student journalists at the University of Texas Dallas to just crash. Administrators had been throwing obstacles in front of them since October 7. But the students forged a new path. A path riddled with craters, bumps, and sometimes stars. And as for administrators… University administrators are not competent. They are career bureaucrats. … They’re not there because they are the best in their field. They’re there because they had good political maneuverings to get into their position. … They’re there because they make the school look good sometimes. So if there is pressure on you, it’s not because they know the law. It’s not because you did something wrong. …They will do their violations and they will move on. You’re just another student to them unless you stand up for yourself. And I think we really show that you can stand up for yourself and be successful.
