June 20, 2025, Newark, NY– A federal court today granted bail to Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate student and lawful permanent resident targeted for deportation by the Trump administration because of his Palestinian rights advocacy. He will be able to return to New York to be with his wife and newborn son while his case proceeds.  “After more than three months, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief and know that Mahmoud is on his way home to me and Deen, who never should have been separated from his father,” said Dr. Noor Abdalla, Mahmoud Khalil’s wife.

The Real Reasons For The US-Israeli War On Iran, Explained

June 19, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , ,
In its war on Iran, the US empire seeks to impose hegemony in West Asia (aka the Middle East), destroy the Axis of Resistance, colonize Palestine, destabilize the revolutionary Iranian government, preserve the petrodollar system, prevent de-dollarization, divide BRICS, and break up the Iran-Russia-China partnership. The United States and Israel are jointly waging war on Iran, but why? What are their real goals? What the US empire would like to accomplish is the following: Maintain US hegemony in West Asia (aka the Middle East) Destroy the anti-colonial Axis of Resistance, making possible the total colonization of Palestine Prevent Iran from ever developing nuclear capabilities Overthrow or at least weaken Iran’s independent, revolutionary government Scare other countries in the region that may seek to move away from the US and the dollar (especially the Gulf monarchies)

Iran Now First Line Of Defense Of BRICS And The Global South

June 19, 2025 Pepe Escobar Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , ,
Israel’s shock’n awe on Iran—straight from the trademark US playbook—essentially failed, despite the initial combination of speed, meticulous military planning and the element of surprise, including hacking the Iranian electronic communications within the military grid; decapitation of the vertical IRGC nomenklatura; the spiderweb drone attack playbook; and bombing—ultimately ineffectual—of key nodes of the Iranian nuclear infrastructure. It took hours for top Iranian technicians to get their grid back. And once that happened, the tide began to turn, to the point that after surgical missile volleys deep in the night on Sunday, the IRGC announced its capability to seriously disrupt Israel’s command and control systems using “enhanced intelligence,” thus breaching Iron—or Paper—Dome.

The Middle East Is On Fire; Israeli And US Imperialism Lit The Match

June 19, 2025 Black Alliance For Peace, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
Overnight, the zionist entity of Israel escalated its war of aggression against Iran by launching unprovoked attacks on the Islamic Republic. The notion that a rogue ethnostate that is currently carrying out a genocide believes that it possesses the right to determine which countries can and cannot develop a nuclear weapon is both bizarre and egregious as well as brazenly hypocritical, and further demonstrates that the State of Israel operates firmly within the structures of white “supremacy” ideology, colonialism, and imperialism. Iran, like all sovereign nations, has the right to defend itself from aggression and uphold its security in the face of repeated threats and acts of war.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation: Direct Accomplice In Israel’s Killing

June 18, 2025 Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. , , , , ,
Palestinian Territory – The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is directly responsible for the escalating Israeli crimes against starved Palestinian civilians near aid distribution points in central and southern Gaza The foundation's operational model involves luring civilians to specific locations coordinated with the Israeli army, where they are subjected to killing, injury, and cruel and degrading treatment. These points have effectively become death traps used as tools in Israel’s ongoing genocide against the Palestinian population for over 20 months. On Tuesday morning, at least 80 Palestinians were killed and 200 others injured by Israeli fire near a US-backed aid distribution point in eastern Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, as they approached the site to collect aid.

Mahmoud Khalil Still Detained Despite Court Ruling It Unconstitutional

June 18, 2025 Palestine Legal. , , , , ,
Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, who has been detained in a remote ICE facility in Jena, Louisiana, since March, was hoping to be released last Friday after U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz ruled there was no legitimate basis for his continued detention. The judge ruled that Mahmoud Khalil’s months-long detention by the Trump administration on the grounds that Khalil’s campus activism in support of Palestinian rights posed a danger to “U.S. foreign policy” had chilled Khalil’s ability to express himself and was presumptively unconstitutional. But in a letter to the judge Friday, the government justified not releasing Khalil based on false allegations that he committed fraud on his 2024 green card application by not disclosing his previous employment with organizations including a UN agency that helps Palestinians.

June 18, 2025 India's World, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
A group of eight (formerly nine) nations known as The Hague Group recently announced an emergency ministerial meeting on Palestine, to be held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bogota on 15-16 July 2025. The meeting will focus on the question of international law and accountability in the context of the ongoing crisis in Gaza. In a joint statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Colombia and the Department of International Relations and Cooperation of the Republic of South Africa, co-chairs of the group, stated that the meeting will outline a plan for concrete actions to enforce international law and end the genocide in Palestine through coordinated state action.

Stop Netanyahu Before He Gets Us All Killed

June 17, 2025 Jeffrey D. Sachs, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
For nearly 30 years, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has driven the Middle East into war and destruction. The man is a powder keg of violence. Throughout all the wars that he has championed, Netanyahu [who is wanted by the International Criminal Court] has always dreamed of the big one: to defeat and overthrow the Iranian government. His long-sought war, just launched, might just get us all killed in a nuclear Armageddon, unless Netanyahu is stopped. Netanyahu’s fixation on war goes back to his extremist mentors, Ze’ev Jabotinsky, Yitzhak Shamir and Menachem Begin.

UC San Francisco Fired Me For Speaking Out Against Genocide

June 17, 2025 Rupa Marya, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
In May 2025, after 23 years of service, I was fired from my position as a Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). As healthcare workers were being targeted, tortured, and killed in Gaza by Israel’s US-backed genocide, I could not remain quiet. I spoke out as Gaza’s hospitals were bombed. I brought everything I had as a physician dedicated to building a world of health for all, as a scholar of colonialism and health, as an activist who has stood with Indigenous grandmothers at Standing Rock and survivors of racist police violence in San Francisco, and as a mother who cares for my own children and as a corollary, all children.

Chicago Jewish Activists Embark On Indefinite Hunger Strike Over Gaza

June 17, 2025 Shane Burley, In These Times. , , , , , , , ,
The risk of famine increases in Gaza as the Israeli government’s blockade of nearly all aid to Gaza approaches its third month. “I felt this almost sense of panic as every day went by without food let in,” Ash Bohrer, a Chicago-based Jewish activist in the Palestinian solidarity movement, told me as she outlined how high the stakes are as the genocide continues in Gaza. “When I first heard it, my initial thought was … if there is some way I can use my body,” Bohrer said, ​“I am ready and willing to do it, and I think about it as a personal, moral and religious obligation to do so.”

Meet The American Military Veterans Fasting For Gaza

June 17, 2025 Azad Essa, Middle East Eye. , , , , ,
Joy Metzler was a second lieutenant in the US Air Force when Aaron Bushnell self-immolated in protest against the US's role in Israel's war on Gaza. The 23-year-old Metzler was so moved by Bushnell's sacrifice in February 2024 that she began researching Palestine. Horrified by Israel's occupation and US backing for what international human rights groups, experts and several countries now qualify as an act of genocide in Gaza, she became a conscientious objector to the war, choosing to leave the air force in August 2024. Her application to be excused from the air force was approved in April 2025.

Minnesotans Protest Democratic Party Support For Genocide

June 17, 2025 Sonja Tomasko, Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Minneapolis, MN – On June 13, over 100 protesters rallied outside the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) annual Humphrey-Mondale fundraising dinner. Despite hours of rain, picketers chanted outside the Minneapolis Hilton hotel, demanding that DFL leaders use their power to divest Minnesota funds from apartheid Israel after almost two years of U.S.– funded genocide of Palestinians. The action was organized by the Minnesota Anti-War Committee (AWC). The protest came during a critical time in the pro-Palestinian struggle; Israel has not only continued its genocidal bombing campaign against Palestinian civilians, but it has implemented an explicit starvation policy in which IDF troops massacre Palestinians at so-called “humanitarian aid” centers.

Reports With Video From The March To Gaza

June 16, 2025 David Swanson, World Beyond War. , , , , , ,
On the morning of the 13th, delegates headed in taxis to a remote site in the Sinai desert. There were three military checkpoints: at the first some delegates were turned back and forced into a bus that left them in Cairo; those of us that made it to a third checkpoint were stopped and all our passports were confiscated… about 1200 of us gathered and were gradually encircled by the Egyptian military. At that point we were told we could turn back or “risk being arrested”—about 50 people left and were bussed back to Cairo. Those remaining chanted and talked among ourselves and the time passed quickly despite the desert heat.

Finally Free: The Last Three Head Home And Ask You To Keep Mobilizing

June 16, 2025 Freedom Flotilla. , , , ,
Occupied Palestine — The Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirms that all the international human rights defenders and journalists that were aboard the civilian aid ship Madleen are now en route home. The twelve were forcibly abducted and detained by Israeli forces while attempting to break Israel’s illegal and inhumane siege of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to its besieged population. The last three detained Freedom Flotilla volunteers, Marco van Rennes, Pascal Maurieras, and Yanis Mhamdi, were released from Israeli detention this morning and have begun their return to their home countries via the Jordanian border.

Israel Opens New Front With Iran, But Gaza Still Bleeds

June 15, 2025 Quds News Network. , , , , ,
In the hours after Israel attacked Iran, international pressure over Israel’s starvation and civilian killings in Gaza had apparently dissipated. Since Israel launched attacks on Iran, it has killed more than 140 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, including over 40 aid seekers near the distribution sites run by the controversial US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Internet and fixed-line communications were down across Gaza after Israeli forces bombed the territory’s last remaining fiber optic cable on Thursday. Israel prevented repairs to the internet and telecommunications infrastructure until Saturday evening, when service was finally restored.
