Palestine

State Of The Palestinian Resistance

May 26, 2025 Julia Kassem, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
16 months of brutal genocide and siege have done all but break the Palestinian resistance, which has steadfastly – if not miraculously – fended off and broken the ruthless siege of the Zionist entity. As an official death toll stands at 61,700 – with much more accurate estimates tallying the martyrs at over 300,000, “Israel” has yet again turned to slaughtering civilians. The Palestinian resistance has recruited at least 30,000 new fighters in Gaza, according to conservative estimates earlier this year. Three-quarters of the Resistance’s tunnels remain and the ambushing and fighting both Al-Qassam and Saraya al-Quds continue against an occupation that has mostly withdrawn its ground occupying troops in Gaza while mulling over sending robots into Gaza.

May 26, 2025 Arab News Japan. , , , , , ,
Tokyo, Japan - DSEI Japan 2025 (Defense and Security Equipment International) is currently being held just outside Tokyo, featuring 450 exhibitors from military companies worldwide that manufacture weapons. However, not everyone in Japan is happy about hosting a weapons exhibition. On Wednesday, the first day of the weapons exhibition, approximately 350 demonstrators gathered around the Makuhari Messe venue to protest weapons manufacturing and trade. They argued that such activities violate principles of international justice, support Israeli genocide in Gaza, and contribute to the military expansion of the Japanese government.

US Protects Israel As Netanyahu Vows To ‘Take Over’ Gaza

May 25, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has admitted that Israel’s goal is to colonize Gaza. “We will take control of all the territory of the [Gaza] Strip”, Netanyahu pledged on 19 May. Israel had agreed to a ceasefire in January, but unilaterally violated the agreement in March and restarted its brutal war on Gaza. Donald Trump personally gave Israel the green light to break the truce, according to Israeli officials. Israel’s extreme-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a member of the Israeli security cabinet and Netanyahu ally, boasted that the IDF is “destroying everything left in the Gaza Strip”, and that “the army is leaving no stone unturned”, reported the top Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

Biden’s Fate And Israel’s Sadistic Revenge

May 25, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , ,
On May 15, 2025, the European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, the last facility there capable of providing cancer treatment, ceased operations. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, “Israel’s targeting of the hospital has made it impossible to provide medical care due to the danger posed to medical staff and patients.” The following day, May 16, Joseph R. Biden, 46th President of the United States, was diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. Joe Biden is the person most responsible for the destruction of Gaza’s last cancer treatment center. His decision to give Israel a free hand in the ethnic cleansing of Gaza beginning in October 2023 led to the destruction of hospitals, homes, schools, and even the tent camps where victims had fled.

Airstrike On ‘Conscience’ Confirmed; Crew Evacuated

Malta – The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) announces two significant developments in the aftermath of the May 2 Israeli drone attack on the Conscience in international waters. Firstly, we are relieved to confirm that the remaining 12 crew members who remained stranded at sea have now safely returned to their home countries. After over two weeks of unjustifiable delay and denial of safe harbor, Maltese authorities finally permitted them to disembark and depart. These volunteers faced not only the trauma of unprovoked Israeli military strikes, but also the risk of further attacks while stranded. Their safe return is a testament to their courage, perseverance and steadfast commitment to challenging Israel’s illegal siege of Gaza.

Across Europe, People Urge Intervention To Stop Gaza Genocide

Thousands of protesters in Berlin, Paris, and Stockholm have demanded their governments break silence on Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza, urging immediate international intervention and sanctions against the regime. In Berlin, thousands of people assembled at Oranienplatz on Saturday to protest Israel’s intensified airstrikes and ground invasion of Gaza. The demonstrators chanted slogans like “Freedom for Palestine,” “Germany finances, Israel bombs,” “Israel is a terrorist state,” and “Stop the genocide.” German protesters asserted that no person or state has the right to deny an entire people their rights, displace them, or commit acts of violence against them. Some German protesters of Jewish descent also joined the rally.

Israeli Settlers Escalate Violence, Forced Displacement Across West Bank

May 25, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
The last few days have witnessed a dangerous escalation of violence, theft, and vandalism against Palestinians by illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. Settlers attacked Palestinians in the Al-Auja Waterfall area in Jericho on 25 May for the third time in one day, as part of ongoing efforts to displace families who have lived in the area for decades and establish a new illegal settlement outpost.This came a day after settlers, under the protection of the Israeli army, cut off the water supply to the area. In the Salim plain east of the occupied city of Nablus, settlers also continued to set fire to wheat fields on Sunday, coinciding with separate attacks on Palestinian livestock herders in the northern Jordan Valley area.

Hundreds March Outside ICE Facility Where Mahmoud Khalil Remains

May 25, 2025 People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
On the morning of Thursday, May 22, detained Columbia graduate and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil had an immigration hearing after US officials allowed him to meet his 1-month-old son, Deen, for the first time. As Khalil testified in an immigration court in rural Jena, Louisiana, dozens rallied outside of the immigration detention and court building, protesting against the continued detention of Khalil. Khalil has been in ICE custody since he was arrested outside of his own home in New York City on March 8. In the months since his arrest, support for Khalil’s release has not abated, with supporters rallying on Thursday in cities across the country, including New York City.

Europe Is Finally Taking Action For Palestine, But It’s Too Little, Too Late

May 24, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
On Wednesday, Israeli forces in the West Bank opened fire in the direction of a delegation of European, Arab, and Asian diplomats. In yet another mark of Israeli hubris, the Israeli military said it “regrets the inconvenience.” The timing of this incident is not coincidental. Earlier this week, the European Union, many of its member states, and other Western countries issued statements and took steps that appeared to finally represent concrete actions to pressure Israel to change its behavior in Gaza and the West Bank. The question is whether that is really what happened. It started with a letter from a coalition of states that fund international humanitarian efforts.

Elias Rodriguez’s Murderous Gift To Israel

May 24, 2025 John Wight, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
Days after the deed, we can only but wonder what are the thoughts now occupying the mind of 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago. As he languishes in his jail cell contemplating life and fate, is he still satisfied that he did the right thing? Or has he awoken to the totality of what he now faces in consequence, up to and including a possible death sentence? With the murder of Israeli embassy staff members Yaron Lischinksy and Sarah Milgrim as they emerged from an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, what Rodriguez has done in truth is hand Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his supporters across America and beyond a most prized gift.

Anti-War Organizers Shut Down US Representative’s Recruitment Event

May 24, 2025 Joseph Ostheller, Fight Back! News. , , ,
Tukwila, WA – On Wednesday, May 21, protesters rallied to Foster High School to disrupt a military academy ceremony. Congressional Representative Adam Smith was the host for the event. He was slated to personally hand out these endorsements to prospective military academy cadets, but, not for the first time, Smith failed to attend his own event, giving no notice to attendees. He had staffers play a video instead. Organizers from Seattle Against War (SAW) teamed up with Veterans for Peace to infiltrate this event and make sure the real consequences of war were told. After a short video of Adam Smith, SAW members interrupted a speech by a West Point military officer with chanting and disruption.

Columbia Students Boo President, Cheer Mahmoud Khalil At Graduation

May 23, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
Columbia University held its graduation ceremony this week. When acting school president Claire Shipman addressed the crowd, she was met with a loud chorus of boos and “Free Mahmoud!” chants. “Good morning, Class of 2025. I know that many of you feel some amount of frustration with me, and I know you feel it with the administration,” she told the students. Shipman’s attempt to separate the two entities was met with louder boos, and why wouldn’t it be? Since Columbia students erected a Gaza Solidarity Encampment last spring, the school has worked to stifle pro-Palestinian activism on campus.

Graduating CUNY Law Students Walk Out Of Ceremony

May 23, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
Dozens of City University of New York (CUNY) law graduates walked out of their graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 22, in solidarity with Palestine and in protest of their administration’s repression of pro-Palestine protest activity. Students donning keffiyehs and sporting Palestinian flags walked out of the ceremony which took place in the Apollo Theater in Harlem, and rallied together a few blocks away at the monument to Adam Clayton Powell. “We’re walking out of our own commencement ceremony today in protest of CUNY law’s suppression of free speech, and the CUNY system’s investments in Israeli settler colonialism and genocide,” said CUNY law graduate Parima Kadikar at the Adam Clayton Powell monument.

Microsoft Bans Use Of ‘Gaza, Palestine’ In Internal Emails

May 23, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Microsoft has implemented a policy blocking employee emails containing the words “Palestine,” “Gaza,” or “genocide” on its internal Exchange servers, Drop Site News reported on 22 May. According to No Azure for Apartheid, a group of pro-Palestine Microsoft employees, an automated filter silently prevents such emails from reaching recipients. The filter became effective on Wednesday following Microsoft’s Build developer conference, which faced repeated disruptions by the activist group, Drop Site added. Microsoft has faced internal dissent from employees upset over the company’s collaboration with the Israeli military in its ongoing war on Palestinians in Gaza, which scholars widely consider genocide.

Students Demand: TU Berlin Cut Ties With Genocide-Enabling Institutions

May 22, 2025 Not In Our Name TU, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
Every university in Gaza has been reduced to rubble. Thousands of students and hundreds of educators have been killed. The genocide is nearing its final, most brutal phase. Meanwhile, Israeli universities continue to develop the weapons and ideologies that made all of it possible. And the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) still refuses to sever ties, 8 months after being confronted with the undeniable proof. The call for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions is not merely symbolic. These institutions have never been neutral bystanders to state violence. They are engineers of it, embedded in the military-industrial complex, drafting demographic warfare strategies, justifying settler expansion, and persecuting Palestinian students and faculty.
