Over 170 NGOs Urge End To US–Israeli ‘Aid Traps’ In Gaza

July 1, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
More than 170 international NGOs, including Oxfam, Save the Children, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, and the Norwegian Refugee Council, issued a joint declaration on 1 July in Geneva calling for an immediate end to the US-Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). According to medical authorities in Gaza, over 550 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured near GHF aid distribution sites and transport routes since the foundation began operating in late May. The statement warned that “Palestinians in Gaza face an impossible choice: starve or risk being shot while trying desperately to reach food to feed their families.”

July 1, 2025 Martha Grevatt, Workers World. , , ,
Although there is a temporary “ceasefire” in the U.S./Israeli effort to destroy Iran, many groups internationally are determined to stay mobilized. The horrific genocide in Palestine, both in Gaza and the West Bank, continues, as do plots against Iran.  There were more than 65 actions around the world listed on the website of the United National Antiwar Coalition, based on a call from Global Resistance for a week of actions June 21 to 28. Internationally actions were held in the Philippines, Bangladesh, Japan, Norway, Denmark, Germany, India, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Sweden. Across Canada there were multiple actions, from Vancouver to Hamilton, Ontario.  In the U.S. the week of actions stretched coast to coast.

Chris Hedges: Gaza’s Hunger Games

June 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , , ,
Israel’s weaponization of starvation is how genocides always end. I covered the insidious effects of orchestrated starvation in the Guatemalan Highlands during the genocidal campaign of Gen. Efraín Ríos Montt, the famine in southern Sudan that left a quarter of a million dead — I walked past the frail and skeletal corpses of families lining roadsides — and later during the war in Bosnia when Serbs cut off food supplies to enclaves such as Srebrencia and Goražde. Starvation was weaponized by the Ottoman Empire to decimate the Armenians. It was used to kill millions of Ukrainians in the Holodomor in 1932 and 1933.

Court Ruling Raises Serious Questions Over Government Accountability

June 30, 2025 Al-Haq. , , , , ,
Judgment in Al-Haq’s historic long-running claim against the U.K. government for its continued licensing of F-35 parts into the global supply reaching Israel. The Court has not upheld Al-Haq’s claim. Today, the UK High Court delivered judgment in Al-Haq’s claim against the U.K. government for its continued licensing of F-35 parts into the global supply chain. The court stated that it could not find any legal flaws in the government’s decision-making and that certain parts of the challenge were non-justiciable, meaning that they are not matters for the Courts. Leaving the question, who is the UK government accountable to in matters of international law?

Artists Speak Up Against Genocide In Gaza At Europe’s Music Festivals

June 30, 2025 Ana Vračar, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
As Europe’s summer music festival season rolls out, mainstream media and governments are struggling to keep Palestine solidarity off the stage. In its coverage of Glastonbury Festival, the BBC focused on censoring the Irish rap group Kneecap over their staunch pro-Palestinian stance – only to be met by a wave of artists who used their platform to call for a free Palestine and to demand broadcasters share real news about the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Among them was the British duo Bob Vylan, who led the crowd in chanting “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF,” denouncing war crimes committed by the Israeli army, including the starvation of children and the killing of civilians in humanitarian aid lines.

Counter-Terrorism Police Arrest Four People After Paint Sprayed On Planes

June 27, 2025 Palestine Action. , , , , ,
Counter-terrorism police have arrested four people in connection to the protest by Palestine Action at RAF Brize Norton, in which two activists on scooters spray painted two British military planes with red paint and evaded security and police. Three have been arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Another was arrested of assisting an offender. The embarrassment caused to the government by the recent Palestine Action incursion at Brize Norton, has led rapidly to the announced proscription of Palestine Action. Keir Starmer explicitly referred to the spray-painting of the planes as “vandalism”, not ‘terrorism’ and many Parliamentarians including former Justice Secretary Lord Falconer, have stated that the protest may be criminal damage, but not terrorism.

Washington Green-Lights $30m For Gaza Aid Scheme

June 25, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
The US government approved a $30 million grant to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) on 20 June under a “priority directive” from the White House and the State Department. According to a document reviewed by Reuters, an initial $7 million had already been disbursed at the time. This is the first publicly known financial contribution by Washington to the GHF, which until now had received only diplomatic backing. Two officials cited in the report said the US may approve additional continuous monthly grants of $30 million to the group. GHF, launched in late May, is a joint US–Israeli initiative that relies on private US military and logistics contractors to deliver and distribute aid across Gaza.

Study Finds Israel ‘Disappeared’ Nearly 400,000 Palestinians In Gaza

June 24, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
A new report published by the Harvard database reveals that Israel has “disappeared” at least 377,000 Palestinians since the start of its genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip in 2023. Half of this number is believed to be Palestinian children. The report was written by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, who used data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to show how the Israeli army’s siege of Gaza and indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the enclave have led to a serious drop in its population. The 377,000 Palestinians who are unaccounted for due to Israel’s genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Strip’s entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the strip’s population was estimated at 2.227 million.

‘Disarmiamoli!’ Brings 30,000 To Rome Against NATO And War

June 24, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
Some 30,000 people took to the streets of Rome on June 21 to protest war and rising military expenditures. Organized under the banner “Disarmiamoli!” (Let’s disarm them!), the demonstration brought together workers, grassroots trade unions, student collectives, and social movements. Protesters condemned the expansion of military budgets across Europe, coming at the direct expense of public services like healthcare, education, and other public services. “Forty billion [euros] more will be gradually handed over to war instead of addressing our real needs, schools, hospitals, emergency services and environmental transition, and social support for those in need,” the Disarmiamoli! network stated ahead of the protest.

The US-Israeli War On Iran Undergirds The Need For A Multipolar World

June 23, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , , ,
On June 12, just days before a scheduled negotiations session, the illegal state of Israel attacked Iran, killing top military leaders and scientists. Iran responded the next day by returning the attack on Israel, and there have been daily attacks between the two countries since then. On June 21, the United States, which had been providing support to Israel, attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran. Clearing the FOG speaks with Dr. Foad Izadi from the University of Tehran about the long history of US and Israeli aggression on Iran, how the current war is impacting the country and why this conflict is pivotal to the end of US/Western hegemony and the rise of a multipolar world.

June 22, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
The Italian grassroots trade union Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) launched a general strike on Friday, June 20, to escalate national mobilization against armament and war. Echoing a slogan from broader peace campaigns – “Abbassate le armi, alzate i salari” (“Lower the weapons, raise the wages”) – striking workers aiming to expose the consequences of Europe’s, and more specifically Italy’s, growing military-industrial agenda, including more cuts in the region’s public services. “This is a strike against war and rearmament, but also against the devastating militarization of the economy and society,” USB stated ahead of the strike.

As Israel Attacked Iran, Multi-National Effort To Bring Last Three Madleen Sailors Out Of Prison

June 21, 2025 Colonel Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , ,
As Israel began its unprovoked attack on Iran on June 13, the last three of the twelve volunteers of the Gaza Flotilla ship Madleen were still in Israeli prisons. Marc van Rennes, Dutch citizen, was in the detention cell at Ben Gurion airport when Israeli authorities closed the airport expecting Iranian retaliation to target the airport.  He was then taken back to Israeli prison from the airport. There he joined French citizens Pascal Mauerieras and Yanis Mhamdi who were awaiting deportation the following day. Instead, the three ended up in Israeli prison for 4 more days, until an international pressure campaign finally brought their release from prison.

Palestine Action Damage Military Planes To Intervene In Genocide

June 21, 2025 Palestine Action. , , ,
Palestine Action have damaged two military planes at RAF Brize Norton, where flights leave daily for RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, a base used for military operations in Gaza and across the Middle East. Two activists broke into the largest air force base in Britain and used electric scooters to swiftly manoeuvre towards the planes. They used repurposed fire extinguishers to spray red paint into the turbine engines of two Airbus Voyagers and caused further damage using crowbars. Red paint, symbolising Palestinian bloodshed was also sprayed across the runway and a Palestine flag was left on the scene. Both activists managed to evade security and arrest.

June 20, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
On 18 June, the US began relocating aircraft and naval assets from key military sites in West Asia over concerns of potential Iranian retaliation, two US officials told reporters on condition of anonymity. The repositioning effort includes aircraft not housed in hardened shelters at Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, and naval vessels previously stationed at the port of Bahrain, home to the US Navy’s 5th Fleet. One official said the moves fall under standard force protection procedures. “It is not an uncommon practice,” the official said. “Force protection is the priority.”
