Welcome To Hell, Remembrances Of Time In Israeli Prison

They loaded the bus with us and we sat there for a while without moving. "Don't take your blindfold off, they have a camera," someone observed. "They are recording everything we are saying," said another comrade. I recognized the voice of the activist sitting next to me. He was a big guy, well over six feet tall. I was squashed into the corner of the last row of the bus. I tried to sit sideways to get more room. The steel seats of the bus made that difficult. It was uncomfortable. At least they didn't zip tie my hands too tightly. It must have been well after midnight when the bus started moving. We were all tired. I dozed fitfully, the whine of the bus transmission in my ears.

Investigation Identifies Over 20 Israeli Soldiers Behind Hind Rajab’s Killing

A new Al Jazeera documentary released on 20 October has identified the Israeli soldiers and officers who were directly involved in the killing of six-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab and her family last year, as well as the rescue workers who were dispatched to the scene. The investigation reveals the involvement of the Israeli army’s 401st Brigade. This includes Lt. Col. Daniel Ela and field officer Maj. Shon Glass. According to the report, Glass was the one who ordered Israeli troops to fire the tank shells that killed the Rajab family in Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa. He also ordered the attack on the ambulance teams sent to the rescue.

Why The Gaza Tribunal Is Still Needed After Trump’s Ceasefire

The Gaza Tribunal, a people's tribunal, was formed a year ago in response to the failure of the established world order of sovereign states and international institutions to stop what experts and ordinary people increasingly recognised as genocide in Gaza. The Gaza Tribunal will hold its final session from 23-26 October 2025 at Istanbul University. Our initiative was inspired by an earlier civil society effort during the Vietnam War, when leading public intellectuals Bertrand Russell and Jean-Paul Sartre established the Russell Tribunal, which held hearings in 1966 and 1967.

The Speech A Press Club Banned

This talk is not sponsored by Raytheon, BAE Systems and Thales, which sell weapons to Israel to sustain the genocide. It is not sponsored by Amazon Web Services – which provides cloud infrastructure to Israeli defense and intelligence agencies – Deloitte or Mastercard, which also do business with the apartheid state of Israel. This is how you know we are not at The National Press Club of Australia. There are two types of war correspondents. The first type does not attend press conferences. They do not beg generals and politicians for interviews.

US Coalition Calls For Immediate Release Of American Teenager Detained By Israel

A US-wide coalition is calling for the immediate release of a Palestinian-American teenager being held in Israeli military detention since February of this year. The coalition, comprising a diverse range of activists, distributed on Saturday more than 2,000 flyers at the "No King" protests across six US states, urging people to contact their representatives and demand the release of Mohammed Ibrahim, 16, from Tampa, Florida. The group has been raising awareness about Mohammed's incarceration and lobbying their congressional representatives. In August, the group sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio to secure his release.

Somerville For Palestine Initiative Is On November Ballot

Somerville, Massachusetts - “Disclose! Divest! We will not stop, we will not rest!” This chant rang out loud and clear at the Somerville for Palestine (S4P) meeting in Somerville, Massachusetts, on Oct. 6, when members and friends learned that 8,000 of their 11,400 petition signatures were legally certified by the Election Commission. The Commission also overruled an objection by the right wing to the ballot initiative. It will be on the ballot in November as Question 3. For the past seven months, 288 volunteers have been canvassing people to sign a petition directing the Somerville City Council to stop using taxpayers’ money to fund Israeli genocide.

A Return To The Balfour Declaration

The highly touted picture of “Middle East peace” is quite deceptive. Nobody in the region truly believes that peace is at hand, that there is a credible path to peace, or that the thorny issues of the Arab-Israeli conflict have been resolved. It is not the first time that a U.S. president congratulates himself — and is congratulated by Western and Middle Eastern parties — for reaching a settlement of the conflict. Jimmy Carter was hailed when he presided over the Camp David Accords — it was supposed to end the conflict, but in reality it gave Israel a free hand to attack any combination of Arab countries and the Palestinians because the major Arab military force was neutralized (through bribes to the ruling despot and the military brass).

Trump Threatens To ‘Kill’ Hamas Over Execution Of Israeli-Backed Gangs

US President Donald Trump threatened late Thursday, October 16, that he would endorse a military action against Hamas if it continues to target local gangs hired by Israel in the besieged Gaza strip.  “If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.  Trump’s stern warning was proclaimed, days after he was asked by reporters onboard Air Force One about the executions of who they considered Hamas’ rivals, suggesting they are a sign that Hamas is reestablishing its authority in the besieged Gaza Strip. The answer of the US president then was totally contradictory to his Thursday post on Truth Social, because he confirmed to reporters that the US had given approval to the Palestinian group to do so “for a period of time” to eradicate crimes, and stop problems. 

Trump Admits Complicity In Genocide

As Donald Trump congratulates Israel for its conduct of the genocide in Gaza, he should be charged with aiding and abetting genocide, not given the Nobel Peace Prize. In his speech on Monday to the Israeli Knesset, Trump spent an hour bragging about how he ended the “war” in Gaza and “an age of terror and death,” declaring, “This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.” He decried the “thousands of innocent Israeli civilians” who “were attacked by terrorists in one of the most evil and heinous desecrations of innocent life the world has ever seen; the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust,” adding, “The cruelty of October 7th struck to the core of humanity itself. Nobody could believe what they were witnessing.”

Whitewashing Gas Exploration In Post-Genocide Gaza

In December 2022, Israeli Ministry of Energy launched the Fourth Offshore Bid Round offering new exploration licenses. A year later, it awarded licenses to several Israeli and international companies: Eni (Italy), Dana Petroleum (UK, a subsidiary of a South Korean company, and Ratio Petroleum (Israel). The problem is that these tenders violated international law. A few months later in June 2023, following years of stalled talks, Israel approved the development of the Gaza Marine field, while Egypt’s state-owned EGAS (Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company) was to lead extraction efforts in cooperation with the Palestinian Authority.

Iran Announces Legal Campaign To Hold Israeli Officials Accountable

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei announced on 18 October that Tehran is launching a comprehensive legal campaign to hold Israeli officials accountable for crimes against humanity. Speaking at a specialized meeting titled Legal Response to the 12-Day Aggression: From Criminal Justice to Restorative Justice, Baghaei said the legal challenge aims to end what he described as Israel’s “entrenched impunity.” “Iran will pursue justice through international legal channels,” he said, warning that the absence of accountability has emboldened Israel’s continued violations across West Asia.

Israel’s Perpetual War Machine Demonstrates That Environmental Warfare Is A Tool

The zionist ethnostate’s recent pause in hostilities against the people of Gaza due to so-called Phase 1 of President Trump’s 20 Point Gaza Peace Plan has resulted in a collective sigh of relief for many the world over, who have observed and/or have been victims of the ongoing genocidal onslaught that’s pillaged an estimated 70,000 lives, including approximately 20,000 women and children, included the use of starvation as a weapon, and has reduced the Gaza Strip to rubble as critical infrastructure including homes, schools/universities, hospitals and places of worship have all been decimated by the Israel Occupying Force’s (IOF) war machine that has been aided, abetted, and funded by the United States and other Western governments.

Thousands Of Film Workers Pledge To End Complicity With Genocide

In recent months, a wave of artists throughout the entertainment industry has begun speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. On September 8, more than 1,200 film workers — including A-list stars like Olivia Colman, Tilda Swinton, and Riz Ahmed — publicly pledged to refuse any work with Israeli film companies that are “implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.” Since September, thousands more filmworkers have signed onto the pledge, with the number of signatories now exceeding 5,000. “Both the language of this pledge, which echoes the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement’s emphasis on institutional complicity, and its material commitment to reject offers to work with nearly all Israeli film companies, represent a significant shift for a film world dominated by executives who have either remained silent about or vocally supported Israel’s genocide in Gaza for the past two years.

Gaza, Gas, And The Real Estate Empire Behind Trump’s Deal

As the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas comes into effect, two million Gazans are returning to what is left of their homes. Part of the deal includes a vast prisoner swap, that sees the remaining 20 Israelis captured on October 7, 2023, going back to their homeland, and almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners being released from Israeli jails. A further 10,000 remain behind bars, including top political prisoners, such as Marwan Barghouti. Israel has also stated that it will not return the remains of hundreds of Palestinians it is holding, sparking intense speculation as to what those corpses would reveal. Joining the Behind the Headlines show & MintCast Podcast to discuss the ceasefire, and the increasingly pro-Israel tone of our corporate media, is Aaron Maté. Aaron is an award-winning journalist from Canada.

General Strike Kicks Off With Road Cuts And Logistics Sites Blocks

The first protests and demonstrations of Wednesday's general strike day saw more than a hundred people block access to the Zona Franca industrial area and Mercabarna market wholesalers in Barcelona. Workers at car manufacturer Seat went on strike during the night shift. The strike has been called across the country to stand in solidarity with Palestine. The atmosphere of the protest is peaceful and festive. The demonstrating workers then moved to the entrances of the Port of Barcelona, from where the different groups gathered together and started marching towards the city centre.
