May 6, 2025 Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return UW, Popular Resistance. Resist! Boeing, Campus Movement, Palestine, Student Activism, Washington State

We are taking this building amidst the current and renewed wave of the student Intifada, following the uprising of student action for Palestine after the heroic victory of Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th, which shattered the illusion of zionist-imperialist domination and brought Palestine to the forefront for all justice-loving people of the world. We respond to the call made by the Palestinian student movement in Gaza to “raise the pace and ceiling of your struggle and your honorable stances, quantitatively and qualitatively, against the institutions, corporations, and governments that participate in the slaughter of our children, our students, and our people.

Meet Fired Employees Challenging Microsoft’s Complicity In Genocide

May 6, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. Strategize! Gaza, Genocide, Israel, Microsoft, Palestine, Retaliation

Last fall, Microsoft fired software engineer Hossam Nasr and data scientist Abdo Mohamed after they held a vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza outside the company’s headquarters. Nasr and Mohamed are members of No Azure for Apartheid, a group calling on Microsoft to stop providing its cloud computing to the Israeli military. “As technology workers, we are hyper aware of the fact that our work—especially with the advancement of AI and cloud technologies—has the potential to enable any company and any organization to inflict harm and violate human rights,” reads a petition circulated by the organization.

NYU Law Students Refused To Sign Away Their Right To Protest

May 6, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. Resist! Divestment, Free Speech, Higher Education, New York University, Palestine, Repression, Student Activism

Pro-palestine law students at New York University have secured a major victory against the university administration’s attempts to silence protests. On May 4, the NYU administration confirmed that 31 law students who had been barred from campus and prohibited from sitting for final exams, unless they sign away their right to protest, are now permitted to take their exams. “This type of public pressure, the backlash that [the administration] got from not allowing students to sit for exams, was not something that they expected,” said one of the affected NYU law students, who spoke to Peoples Dispatch about this latest decision.

US And Hungary Stand Alone At ICJ In Favor Of Israel’s Blockade On Gaza

Just days after the World Food Programme said it had run out of food in Gaza, the hearing commenced at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands. Thirty-nine states, the United Nations and three other international organizations presented oral arguments. All states but two — the U.S. and Hungary — condemned Israel’s denial of humanitarian assistance to the starving people of Gaza. Although Israel refused to orally address the ICJ, it filed a written statement with the court. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said that Israel decided “not to take part in this circus” and called the ICJ hearings part of a “systematic persecution and delegitimisation of Israel.” Patricia Pérez Galeana, representing Mexico, quoted UN Secretary-General António Guterres’s April 29 statement to the UN Security Council: “The humanitarian situation throughout the Gaza Strip has gone from bad, to worse, to beyond imagination.”

Freedom Flotilla Coalition Update On The Conscience And Malta

May 5, 2025 The Freedom Flotilla Coalition. Resist! Freedom Flotilla, Gaza, International Law, Israel, Malta, Palestine

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) wishes to inform the public that we received a very welcome update from the government of Malta, with a stated intent to provide logistical supports and potential repairs to our ship, the ‘Conscience’. We would like to reiterate our intent to be let into Malta, with the guarantee that our peaceful action to sail to Gaza will not be hindered in any way. When the ‘Conscience’ was initially approached by coast guards, they allegedly did not identify themselves, and took just under one hour before helping extinguish the fire on board. The crew signalled for help, where their radio signal was tampered with, creating further doubt.

Today, little Hind Rajab should have been blowing out candles on her 7th birthday. On this day of remembrance and heartbreak, the Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a war crimes complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. After a year of tireless investigation, we have identified the military unit responsible, as well as the commander who led the operation that killed Hind, her family, and the two medics who tried to save her. The Commander, the Brigade, the Battalion We now publicly name the commander responsable for killing Hind: Lieutenant Colonel Beni Aharon Commander of the 401st Armored Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at the time of the killing.

I Am In Malta With The Gaza Flotilla Ship ‘Conscience’ Bombed By Israel

May 3, 2025 Colonel Ann Wright (Ret), Popular Resistance. Resist! Freedom Flotilla, Gaza, Genocide, Israel, Malta, Palestine

I am in Malta with the group ready to board the Gaza flotilla ship "Conscience" which was bombed by Israel yesterday. As one of the organizers of the US Boats to Gaza and the Gaza Freedom Flotilla coalition, we have been working for months to bring activists from 22 countries to board the next ship to challenge the Israeli genocide of Gaza and break the illegal Israeli Siege of Gaza. As an American citizen, and a retired US Army Colonel and a former US diplomat who resigned in opposition to the US war on Iraq in 2003, I have been horrified in the blatant complicity of the United States in providing bombs, weapons and targeting information to the Israeli military.

Israel Prime Suspect In Attack Off Malta On Gaza Aid Ship

May 3, 2025 Medea Benjamin, Consortium News. Educate! Freedom Flotilla, Gaza, Humanitarian Aid, Israel, Malta, Palestine

In the early hours of May 2, the quiet of night was shattered aboard the Conscience, a civilian vessel anchored in international waters, 17 kilometers off the coast of Malta. Aboard were 18 crew members and passengers, jolted from sleep by the sound of two explosions. Flames and smoke filled the air. The ship had just been struck — by what the crew members say were drone attacks. The very day of the attack, more passengers from 21 countries were waiting in Malta to be ferried out to join the Conscience. Among those slated to join the ship were world-renowned environmentalist Greta Thunberg, retired U.S. Army Colonel Ann Wright and longtime CODEPINK activist Tighe Barry.

Israeli Drone Bombs Gaza Freedom Flotilla Near Malta Coast

May 2, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Resist! Freedom Flotilla, Humanitarian Aid, Israel, Israeli war crimes, Palestine

An Israeli drone bombed a Freedom Flotilla aid vessel that was en route to Gaza early on 2 May, blowing a hole through the ship, causing a fire, and putting it at risk of sinking. The ship was transporting humanitarian aid, 12 crew members, four civilian passengers, and dozens of rights activists. It was in international waters off Malta and had reportedly set off from Tunisia. The Maltese government released a statement confirming that the crewmembers were brought to safety and that the ship remains in international waters. No injuries were reported.

One Democratic State Campaign For Palestine

May 2, 2025 One State Campaign. Create! Israel, One Democratic State, Palestine, Self-Determination

In recent years, the idea of a single democratic state in all of historic Palestine has re-emerged as the best solution to the conflict, and it has begun to gain increasing popular support. This idea is not new; the Palestinian national liberation movement, both before and after the Nakba, embraced it, including the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), until its engagement in peace negotiations in the late 1980s, culminating in the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993. The Palestinian leadership envisioned this agreement as a transition to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the territories occupied in 1967.

Why Protesters Are Being Sent To For-Profit ICE Prison In Rural Louisiana

April 29, 2025 Stephanie Guilloud and Desiree S. Evans, Mondoweiss. Educate! Campus Movement, ICE, Kidnapping, Louisiana, Palestine, Prison, Racism, Student Activism

In recent weeks, students Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, and Alireza Doroudi were abducted by ICE and are being held in ICE detention centers in rural Louisiana. Khalil’s powerful statement connects multiple realities that demonstrate how state repression is activated to support the rise of authoritarianism. That Khalil and others are being sent to detention centers in remote towns across Louisiana is not an accident. Rising authoritarianism requires a police state, and the expansion of prisons, police, and detention centers is extremely profitable. As the current U.S. government disappears people to a brutal prison camp in El Salvador, they are also moving people to rural Louisiana in attempts to disappear people within the United States borders.

Join Palestinian Workers’ May Day Call To Act Now Against Israeli Genocide

April 27, 2025 Mondoweiss. Resist! Genocide, Israel, Labor Movement, May Day, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity

The Labor for Palestine National Network, National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), and U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) join the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions-Gaza’s 2025 May Day call* in urging U.S. unions to “go beyond statements and speeches and create real pressure”—including “general strikes and widespread civil disobedience”—against the ongoing bipartisan, U.S.-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza, and to “coordinate efforts with the student movement” against the Trump regime’s domestic assault on Palestine solidarity and on “civil liberties and freedom of expression.”

Medics On Hunger Strike Against Gaza Genocide Reach European Parliament

April 26, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. Resist! European Parliament, Healthcare workers, Hunger Strike, Palestine

On April 23, medics on hunger strike against the genocide in Gaza joined a meeting with European parliamentarians, delivering testimonies inside an institution complicit in the crimes perpetrated by Israel to this day. Speaking to MEPs, doctors, paramedics, and other health workers described the “hell” they witnessed during volunteer rotations in the Gaza Strip and explained their decision to undertake such a radical act of protest. The health workers reasserted their demands, including the lifting of the medical blockade imposed by the occupation, the prevention of further attacks on Palestinian health workers, and, significantly, an end to European support and complicity in the genocide.

I Faced Censorship And Attacks For Trying To Teach About Palestine

April 25, 2025 Michel DeGraff, Mondoweiss. Educate! Censorship, Education, Fascism, Massachusetts, MIT, Palestine, Repression

At MIT, I have witnessed firsthand how institutional priorities shift under the weight of political pressures and personal allegiances. My proposal for a course that critically engages via language and linguistics with the realities of settler colonialism vs. decolonization was not simply met with skepticism; it was censored and actively surveilled, doxed, and it is still being delegitimized. My experience is not an isolated incident, but part of a larger, systemic issue that permeates education across the United States. It is a symptom of what I have come to understand as the “Palestine exception,” where conversations surrounding Israel/Palestine are subjected to unique levels of scrutiny and suppression, from academic units, to students’ newspapers and faculty newsletters, to Executive Orders and Homeland Security.
