Shared Ideology Behind Settler Colonialism In Native America And Palestine

May 2, 2026 Eric Cheyfitz, Mondoweiss. , , ,
The United States was founded and exists on stolen Native American land, taken in the course of an ongoing national genocide. Israel was founded and exists on stolen Palestinian land, taken in the course of an ongoing national genocide. In both nations, these genocides are a structural part of settler colonialism. And as I will argue in what follows, the ideology grounding settler colonialism in both nations comes from the same source, helping to cement a long-standing relationship between Israel and the United States. Settler colonialism is a variation of colonialism.

Global Condemnation As Israeli Ministers Celebrate Death Penalty Law

April 1, 2026 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
With a smile on his face and a bottle of champagne in his hand, Israel’s hardline National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir celebrated on the Knesset floor Monday the passing of the new Israeli death penalty law targeting Palestinian detainees. First introduced as a bill by Ben-Gvir’s own Jewish Power party in November of last year, the law underwent its second and third readings in the Israeli parliamentary body earlier this week, passing with a majority of 62 to 47 votes. The objective of the law? To seek the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of acts that led to the death of Jewish Israelis.

The US Plan For Gaza Has Nothing In It For Palestinians

January 30, 2026 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , ,
The latest iteration of the future U.S. plan for Gaza was revealed last week by U.S. President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, at the inaugural ceremony of the so-called “Board of Peace,” which is tasked with overseeing the reconstruction and administration of the Strip. Kushner’s presentation included a map of what Gaza would look like after reconstruction, including industrial zones, residential blocks, and tourism beaches. The plan advertises a new Rafah and a new Gaza City, completely separate from one another. Meanwhile, the edges of the Strip — which once served as Gaza’s farmland and bread basket — would now be home to industrial complexes.

Yemeni Resistance Leader Vows To Target Israeli Presence In Somalia

December 29, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
The leader of Yemen’s Ansarallah resistance movement, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, warned in a speech on 28 December that any potential Israeli presence in Somaliland will be considered a “military target” for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF).  The speech came as several African, Arab, and Muslim states condemned Israel’s decision last week to recognize the sovereignty of the separatist Republic of Somaliland, which Somalia views as one of its federal states.  Israel’s recognition of Somaliland is “a hostile stance targeting Somalia and its African surroundings, as well as Yemen and the Red Sea and the countries on its shores,” Houthi said on Sunday.

US Citizens Deported By Zionist State After A Week Of Detention

December 18, 2025 International Solidarity Movement. , , , ,
New York-based Irene Cho and Boston-based Trudi Frost, who were arrested by Israeli forces last Friday, remain in custody at the Givon prison after Israeli courts have summarily denied all their appeals while refusing to examine the evidence proving they have committed no offense. They are expected to be deported later tonight from Ben Gurion airport.  Cho and Frost were arrested on Friday, December 12, in the West Bank village of al-Mughayyer while staying with the Abu Hamam family, which is threatened with forced displacement by military and settler violence.

Campaign To ‘Free Palestinian Hostages’ In Israeli Jails Gains Momentum

December 1, 2025 Elis Gjevori, Middle East Eye. , , , ,
Thousands of demonstrators filled central London on Saturday as part of the “Free Palestinian Hostages” campaign, demanding the release of more than 9,100 Palestinians held in notorious Israeli prisons, including over 450 women and children. Waving Palestinian flags and wearing red ribbons to signify detention without charge, protesters denounced Israel’s routine use of torture, rape, arbitrary arrest and inhumane treatment. Protesters accused Israel of running a system rooted in apartheid and genocide, and calling for an immediate end to mass incarceration.

US Security Contractor: ‘I Saw Israel Commit War Crimes At Gaza Aid Sites’

July 30, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
A former contractor for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) says he saw Israeli soldiers commit war crimes at the aid distribution sites being run by the Israeli-backed American agency. In a series of interviews, former GHF employee and Green Beret Anthony Aguilar alleged that he saw Israeli soldiers use “indiscriminate” force against civilians at various Gaza aid sites. “My most frank assessment — I would say that they are criminal,” said Aguilar. “In my entire career, I have never witnessed the level of brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population.”

Why I Resigned As Chairman Of Amnesty Israel

December 10, 2024 Daniil Brodsky, Forward.com. , , ,
After Amnesty International released a report last Thursday calling the war in Gaza a genocide, Amnesty’s Israeli branch quickly issued a statement saying most of its members don’t believe genocide has occurred. Some in Amnesty Israel alleged the report was biased, arguing for a forgone conclusion. Others went further, claiming that the international movement abandoned its commitment to equality in the first place. But even before the report came out — one week before, to be exact — I resigned my position as chair of the board of Amnesty Israel. I didn’t step down because of the imminent controversy over the conclusions of Amnesty International’s report.

From Axis Of Resistance To Political Cuckolds

October 10, 2024 Jon Jeter, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , ,
The assault on the Palestinian Authority’s headquarters in the West Bank occurred only days after Israel began its siege of Gaza in October of 2023, leaving the building pockmarked with bullet holes. It might be surprising to know, however, that the assailants were not the Israeli Defense Forces, nor any settler mobs but the throngs of Palestinians who live under occupation and assembled outside the government building in Jenin to protest Israel’s control of the quisling Palestinian Authority, known as the Sultah. The Los Angeles Times wrote of the dispute: Disgusted with the authority’s inability to protect its own people or stand up to Israel, militants in the crowd aimed their bullets at the government compound after its security forces tried to break up the demonstration.‘

Jury Finds Activist Not Guilty After They Dismantled Arconic

October 6, 2023 Palestine Action. , , ,
On Thursday 5th October 2023, a jury unanimously found an activist from Palestine Action, Sohail Sultan, not guilty of criminal damage against Arconic at the closing of a trial overseen by Judge S Ward at Wolverhampton Crown Court. They took 3 hours and 25 minutes to deliberate on whether the action taken which cost Arconic over £500K was done to protect property in Palestine and/or in necessity to save lives. The verdict comes after the activist occupied the roof for two days and dismantled the site on the fourth anniversary of the Grenfell fire, in solidarity with the victims of the fire and the Palestine people.

The Israeli ‘Coup’ And The Death Of False Democracy

September 24, 2023 Ramzy Baroud, Mintpress News. , , , ,
From its very onset, Israel has constructed a brand for itself, a powerful gimmick that was predicated on two main pillars: democracy and stability. The main target audience for this brand has been powerful Western states that wielded disproportionate political, economic and military powers. These Western governments, along with their influential mainstream corporate media, did their part, by polishing Israel’s image – as most democratic and most stable – while tarnishing that of their Arab and Palestinian enemies – or anyone else who dared criticize Israel. It mattered little whether Israel was truly a beacon of democracy and stability, because these terms are often conjured up and used to conveniently fit the interest of those in power.

Israel Is Unifying Arabs And Muslims Around Palestine

April 15, 2023 Ramzy Baroud, Mintpress News. , , ,
By ordering a brutal attack against Palestinian worshipers inside Al-Aqsa Mosque on the 14th day of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knew very well that the Palestinians would retaliate. Netanyahu’s motive should be clear. He wanted to generate a distraction from the mass protests that have rocked Israel, starting in January, and divided Israeli society around ideological and political lines, in ways never witnessed before. Unwilling to relinquish his hard-earned achievement of finally winning a decisive election and forming an entirely rightwing coalition while fearing that major concessions to his political rivals could eventually dissolve his government, Netanyahu set his sights on the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

West Opposes Rest Of World In UN Votes For Fairer Economic System, Equality

December 23, 2022 Ben Norton, Multipolarista. , , ,
Most countries on Earth voted at the United Nations General Assembly to support a call for a new international economic order that is based on sovereign equality and cooperation, that rejects unilateral sanctions and advocates for debt relief for the Global South. The only countries that opposed this widely popular proposal were the West and its allies. The United States and its proxies were also the lone votes against common-sensical resolutions promoting sustainable development, biological diversity, and basic civil rights for Palestinians. Almost the entire world supported these proposals. Washington showed itself to be a rogue state on the international stage, voting against practically every resolution, even on uncontroversial issues where the rest of the planet is in agreement.

Jerusalem’s Last Decade Of Revolt

November 27, 2022 Fayrouz Sharqawi, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Palestinians have led many uprisings in the history of the Zionist colonization of Palestine, from the 1936 Great Palestinian Revolt, to the First and Second intifadas, to the Unity Intifada of 2021. Yet these grand revolts are only significant in how they have encompassed all the other revolts that have preceded them. For the past ten years, I made my home in a small apartment in Shu’fat, just north of Jerusalem’s Old City, after having lived in Jerusalem for more than two decades. Shu’fat is one of only 18 small and heavily policed areas afforded to Palestinians in Jerusalem.       I can see the Al-Sahel (the meadow) area west of my balcony. Most of it remains empty, untainted by construction. Yet it is also a strange scene for a community that suffers from discriminatory restrictions in housing opportunities.

Miko Peled: ‘The Danger To Palestinians Has Never Been So Severe’

November 14, 2022 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , ,
The recent elections by the Israeli State will likely bring to power what author and activist Miko Peled calls "the most openly fascist government" in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Peled wrote about Netanyahu, a known war criminal who was re-elected as Prime Minister, in Mintpress News. In this interview on Clearing the FOG, Peled explains why the danger to Palestinians has never been greater and why international action to end the occupation is critical. He discusses the rise of the far right, the escalation of violent attacks on Palestinians, retaliation against Palestinian journalists and activists, including the dire case of Issa Amro, and how Palestinian resistance is changing.
