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.

Palestinian Youth Movement Makes Genocide Support Costly For Maersk

August 16, 2025 Tyler Walicek, Truthout. , , ,
After two years of continuous effort in research, agitation and direct action, the organizers of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) celebrated a landmark organizing victory in late June. Their “Mask Off Maersk” campaign had sought to prove the complicity of the Danish freight-logistics titan A.P. Møller – Maersk A/S in the genocide in Gaza. Maersk, as it’s generally known, was found by PYM to be contributing to the ongoing crimes against humanity in Gaza by shipping arms transfers to the perpetrating Israeli military; these shipments included critical parts for the F-35 fighters that have been used to bomb Gaza’s civilian population.

Thousands To Join ‘Mass March For Humanity’ Against Starvation Of Gaza

August 14, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
On Saturday, August 16, demonstrators are set to march in protest of Israel’s starvation of Gaza in a “Mass March for Humanity” through the streets of New York City. Over 200 organizations have endorsed, coming from an array of diverse backgrounds including the Palestinian diaspora, pro-Palestine solidarity groups, labor unions, anti-war groups, faith groups, and others. Buses are set to travel from across the northeastern United States, including from Baltimore, Boston, Burlington, New Hampshire, Philadelphia, Providence and Washington, DC. “​​Genocide will never stop without global intervention,” Dr. Nidal Jboor, the cofounder of Doctors Against Genocide, told Peoples Dispatch.

A Landmark Complaint Vs Pro-Israel Group Silencing Dissent

August 14, 2025 John McEvoy, Consortium News. , , , ,
In February 2023, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital quietly removed a display of artwork from one of its corridors. The artwork, a collection of decorated plates, had been designed by schoolchildren in Gaza. It depicted symbols of peace and the desire for an independent Palestinian state. The plates had been on the walls of the hospital for over a decade, but a strongly worded letter from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) ensured they were promptly taken down. UKLFI director Caroline Turner was quick to claim victory. “We are pleased that the hospital has responded positively to its patients’ complaints,” she declared.

Twenty-Four US-Allied Nations Urge Israel To Lift All Restrictions On Aid

August 14, 2025 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , , , , ,
Twenty-four US-allied nations and three senior EU officials have signed a joint statement calling for Israel to lift all restrictions on aid entering the Gaza Strip, warning that the Israeli-imposed famine has reached “unimaginable levels.” The statement, published by the British Foreign Ministry, comes as Palestinians continue to starve to death every day in Gaza due to the US-backed Israeli blockade. “The humanitarian suffering in Gaza has reached unimaginable levels. Famine is unfolding before our eyes. Urgent action is needed now to halt and reverse starvation. Humanitarian space must be protected, and aid should never be politicized,” the statement reads.

Starving Indigenous Peoples Then And Now

August 13, 2025 Rosalyn R. LaPier, Consortium News. , , , ,
There is increasing evidence that “widespread starvation, malnutrition and disease” are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths“ in Gaza, a group of United Nations and aid organizations have repeatedly warned. A July 29 alert by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a global initiative for improving food security and nutrition, reported that the “worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip,” as access to food and other essential items is dropping to an “unprecedented level.” More than 500,000 Palestinians, one-fourth of Gaza’s population, are experiencing famine, the U.N. stated. And all 320,000 children under age 5 are “at risk of acute malnutrition, with serious lifelong physical and mental health consequences.”

‘Capital One, You Can’t Hide!’: Cambridge Escalates For Palestine

August 13, 2025 Will Hodgkinson, Workers World. , , , , ,
A militant crowd organized by the Boston Coalition for Palestine faced off against a phalanx of cops guarding a Capital One Café and shut down the streets of Harvard Square in Cambridge for nearly two hours during the sweltering afternoon heat of Aug. 10. The action was in response to a violent attack by Cambridge police a week earlier at the same storefront on activists with BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) – Boston. Capital One Café — the target of a month-long campaign by BDS – Boston — is run by the ninth largest bank in the U.S. Besides luring people like students into its credit card debt trap through gimmicks like “cafés,” the otherwise online-only Capital One Financial has amassed much of its $490.6 billion in assets by extending lines of credit to the military-industrial complex.

Launching A Global Campaign Against The Insurers Of Israel’s Genocide

August 13, 2025 The Canary. , , , , , , , ,
This September, activist groups across five continents plan to strike two of the world’s most powerful insurance companies: AXA and AIG. Together, they are launching a powerful wave of global resistance with a synchronised campaign of disruption. The aim is to expose the companies’ role in fueling genocide, climate destruction, and social collapse. Under the banner ‘Insure Our Survival‘, thousands of campaigners in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas will take action from 8 September. Organisers are calling the wave of action a “coordinated global backlash” against the insurance giants underwriting fossil fuel expansion and weapons war criminal states are using in mass atrocities – particularly in Palestine.

Journalist Anas Al-Sharif’s Final Message Released After Israel Assassinates Him

August 11, 2025 Anas Al-Sharif, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification.

Israel’s Government Issues ‘Death Sentence’ To Remaining Captives

August 10, 2025 Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone. , , , , , , , ,
In June 2024, after Israel’s army slaughtered over 200 civilians in Gaza’s Nuseirat Refugee Camp, including several execution style killings to extricate a hostage, Noa Argamani, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced a new policy: if Israel soldiers came too close to areas where captives were held, the prisoners would lose their lives. Israel’s refusal to heed this policy led to the killing of Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five others just over two months later. Now, in a fit of desperation, after failing to force the hand of Hamas through imposed famine and previous campaigns of military pressure, Israel’s security cabinet has approved plans to ethnically cleanse the whole of Gaza City and occupy urban areas where captives might be located.

Friends of The Hague Group (FoTHG) launched in Bogotá on July 17, 2025, to support multilateral efforts like that of The Hague Group (THG) to end the Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people, and to ensure that all such efforts be grounded in the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including: the right to self-determination; the right of return for all Palestinian refugees and deportees forcibly displaced since 1948; and the right to full reparation, including restitution, compensation, satisfaction, and guarantees of non-repetition. FoTHG is guided by the demands of Palestinian Civil Society convening organizations, and prioritizes the leadership of FoTHG founding international organizations based in the Global South.

Microsoft Helping Israel Spy On Millions Of Palestinians Since 2021

August 7, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Israel has been using a Microsoft cloud platform to store massive amounts of data and intelligence on Palestinians in both the occupied West Bank and Gaza, according to a new investigation carried out by +972 Magazine, Local Call, and The Guardian.  The investigation reveals that Microsoft’s chief executive met in 2021 with the commander of Israel’s notorious Unit 8200 – the military intelligence unit involved in the pager terror attacks against Lebanon and other covert operations across the region.  Unit 8200 chief Yossi Sariel convinced Microsoft’s Satya Nadella to grant Israeli military intelligence access to a “customized and segregated area” inside the Azure cloud platform, according to The Guardian.

As Columbia Capitulates To Trump Over Palestine, Student Activists Regroup

August 6, 2025 Tamara Turki, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
Over the past two years, Columbia University has become a case study in the growing battle between grassroots movements in the U.S. and the institutions determined to silence them. What began as a student-led call for divestment from Israel escalated into a high-stakes confrontation between students, university leadership, and, eventually, the U.S. president.  That battle now appears to have reached a grim turning point. In trading student rights to free speech and protest for federal funding, Columbia, once known as the “activist Ivy,” has signaled the end of an era of American higher education nurtured political dissent and the beginning of a new one, marked by increased surveillance, censorship, and punishment.

Genoa, Italy: Union Stops Arms Shipment

August 5, 2025 Unione Sindacale di Base, Workers World. , , ,
July 31, 2025 – The Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) [rank-and-file union organization] today celebrates another significant victory in the fight against the arms trade in Italian ports. Thanks to the mobilization of dockworkers in Genoa and the international solidarity network that grows stronger each day after helping to block the Zim ship in June, we were informed today that the three containers carrying military equipment, destined for La Spezia and transported aboard the Cosco Pisces [ship], will not be unloaded in either Genoa or La Spezia.

Chris Hedges Report: This Is Not A Drill

August 4, 2025 Chris Hedges, Consortium News. , , ,
Fame and fortune are often corrupting forces, ones that beget power and comfort. To stand with the afflicted requires sacrificing this privilege and few embody that sacrifice more profoundly than the legendary musician of Pink Floyd Roger Waters. For years, through his music and political action, Waters has amplified the voices of the oppressed. He has championed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, defended attorney Steven Donziger, demanded the closure of Guantánamo Bay, has long stood against the apartheid state of Israel and now unwaveringly against the genocide of Palestinians.
