Salah Sarsour: A Pillar Taken, A Community That Will Not Yield

April 12, 2026 Dr. Hatem Bazian, In These Times. Resist! Detention, ICE, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Retaliation

There are people you meet in the struggle for Palestine and justice who leave a mark not because of titles they hold or platforms they command, but because of who they are — quietly, consistently, and without asking for anything in return. Salah Sarsour is that kind of person. And the fact that he is sitting tonight in a detention facility, torn from his family and his community by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who pulled him over with no legitimate cause, is an injustice that demands that every one of us speak. I first met Salah over thirty years ago, when I was beginning to organize for Palestine on a national level and found myself visiting the Muslim community in Milwaukee.

Iran Warns United States Of ‘More Destructive Phase’

April 5, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! False Flag, Gulf States, Infrastructure, Iran, Oil and Gas, Retaliation, Wars and Militarism

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for several strikes targeting US-linked energy and petrochemical sites in the Gulf, following US-Israeli attacks on major Iranian infrastructure. The IRGC said it attacked US gas facilities linked to ExxonMobil and Chevron in the UAE. It also said it launched “a missile attack on US petrochemical facilities producing fuel materials for the US armed forces and military products for the Israeli entity in Al-Ruwais, UAE, causing a widespread fire.” It also confirmed that Tehran was behind drone attacks on US-linked petrochemical sites in Sitra, Bahrain, including the Bapco refinery, as well as in southern Kuwait’s Shuaiba.

Francesca Albanese Is A Powerful Voice For Justice

February 24, 2026 Michael Lynk, Mondoweiss. Educate! Francesca Albanese, Israel, Palestine, Retaliation, United Nations

Mark Twain and Winston Churchill are both purported to have once said that a lie can travel half-way around the world before truth has had a chance to put its pants on. On February 7, Francesca Albanese, the current UN Special Rapporteur for human rights in Palestine, gave a short presentation by video conference to a media forum in Doha, Qatar, organized by the Al Jazeera network. She was part of a panel, which included Fatou Bensouda, the former Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, speaking about the role of international law in addressing serious human rights violations.

Prisoners Who Appeared in HBO Documentary Are Being Punished

January 26, 2026 Matthew Vernon Whalan, Counter Punch. Educate! Alabama, Prisoner rights, Retaliation, Torture

I don’t normally write about higher profile prisoners, opting instead to interview those prisoners who no one has heard of and have never accessed journalists before, for whatever reason. I don’t feel I’m contributing much unless I’m finding people I feel are really successfully hidden. Recently, however, and especially in the last week, on the heels of the major HBO documentary about the horrendous conditions in Alabama’s prisons and the struggle for freedom and human rights inside of them, and with a statewide prisoner work stoppage looming in February, the Alabama Department of Corrections is working hard to keep the most prominent, often the most accessible and well known voices inside the prisons inaccessible and suppressed.

NFL Athlete Fined Over Palestine Solidarity Message

January 20, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Resist! Israel, National Football League (NFL), Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Retaliation

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez al-Shaair was fined by the National Football League (NFL) for displaying a pro-Palestinian “Stop the genocide” message during a televised game, ESPN reported on 18 January. The linebacker wore the message of solidarity beneath his eyes during a pre-game team address before Houston faced the New England Patriots, but removed the message before kickoff. The brief display followed an earlier league penalty for wearing the same message during live play. Al-Shaair was fined $11,593 the previous week for violating NFL uniform rules that prohibit unapproved personal or political messaging.

California’s AB 715 Claims To Combat Antisemitism

December 23, 2025 Jenin Younes and Deyar Jamil, Mondoweiss. Educate! Antisemitism, California, Censorship, Free Speech, Gavin Newsom, Retaliation

It’s not just Washington, DC that has sold out to the Israel lobby. In October of this year, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 715 into law, amending California’s education code, despite significant public opposition. The ostensible purpose of the AB 715 amendments is to address the crisis of rising antisemitism by fortifying anti-discrimination law in public schools. A closer look says otherwise. The bill was rushed through the state legislative process: at the legislative hearing, even its proponents acknowledged that it had been drafted rather hastily and would require “clean-up” legislation down the road to ensure compliance with constitutional requirements.

Corporate Pressure Mounts On Chileans Opposing Copper Mine

December 4, 2025 Viviana Herrera, Canadian Dimension. Strategize! Canada, Chile, Environment, Mining, Retaliation

Vancouver-based Los Andes Copper, developer of the proposed Vizcachitas copper-molybdenum mine in Chile’s Valparaíso region, has launched an aggressive campaign targeting the municipality of Putaendo’s mayor, Mauricio Quiroz, and local biologist Arón Cádiz-Véliz. The company is pressing legal and media challenges against them for opposing the mine and leading scientific efforts to protect the area. The conflict centres on a report and technical study commissioned by the municipality, aimed at designating the Rocín River Valley—a high-altitude ecosystem with glaciers, wetlands, and endemic species—as a protected area.

ICC Has Taken ‘Confidential’ Measures To Protect Court From US Sanctions

December 2, 2025 Sondos Asem, Middle East Eye. Resist! ICC, International Law, Retaliation, Sanctions

International Criminal Court (ICC) officials on Monday said the court is implementing countermeasures to protect the court from US sanctions, but they will remain confidential to ensure their effectiveness. The officials spoke in The Hague on the first day of the annual meeting of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), which is made up of representatives from 125 countries that have ratified the ICC's founding Rome Statute. The gathering is taking place at a time of unprecedented threats to the court, prompted mostly by its investigation into Israeli officials over alleged war crimes in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories.

Texas College Teacher Fired For Free Speech

November 26, 2025 David Finkel, Labor Notes. Resist! Freedom of Speeh, Retaliation, Teachers, Texas, Worker Rights and Jobs

Support is building within the labor, academic, and Palestine solidarity movements in defense of Tom Alter, a history professor at Texas State University in San Marcos. Shortly after receiving tenure, Alter was hastily fired on September 10 by university President Kelly Damphousse. He had spoken in his private capacity at an online socialist conference, where his presentation and comments were flagged by a self-described “fascist” and reported to the university administration. Alter is a member of the Texas State Employees Union, part of the Communications Workers (CWA).

British Journalist Sami Hamdi Recounts ICE Detention

November 19, 2025 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. Educate! Freedom of Speech, ICE detention, Journalists, Palestine, Retaliation, Sami Hamdi

British journalist Sami Hamdi, who was recently released from ICE detention in the United States, recounted what he experienced during an online discussion organized by the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Hamdi had a valid visa and a ticket for a domestic flight to Tampa, Florida, where he was scheduled to speak at a banquet for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Yet as a result of pressure from anti-Muslim activists Laura Boomer and Amy Mek, the State Department revoked his visa, and he was held in confinement for around 18 days. On October 26, the Department of Homeland Security took him into custody at the San Francisco International Airport. His detention and removal was in retaliation for his speech in support of Palestinian human rights and against the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.

Health Care Workers Spoke Out For Their Peers In Gaza; Then Backlash

November 19, 2025 Marianne Dhenin, Truthout. Educate! Employer retaliation, Gaza, Health Care, Healthcare workers, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Retaliation

Chandra Hassan, an associate professor of surgery at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) College of Medicine, spent three weeks in Gaza in January 2024, treating patients who had survived tank shelling, drone strikes, and sniper fire amid Israel’s ongoing genocide. When Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis came under siege, Hassan and the MedGlobal doctors he was serving with were forced to flee. “We were evacuated when they bombed just across the street from the hospital [and] tanks were rolling in,” Hassan told Truthout. When Hassan returned home to Chicago, he was eager to share his experiences and advocate for an end to Israel’s assault on Gaza, which has killed an estimated 68,000 Palestinians since October 2023.

Civil Society Should Be Resisting Trump’s Authoritarianism

November 2, 2025 Amy Hagopian, Mondoweiss. Strategize! Higher Education, Human Rights, Public Health, Retaliation, Trump Administration

This November, I’ll be standing outside the American Public Health Association’s annual meeting in Washington, D.C., holding a sign that reads: “Ask me why I’m not allowed inside the APHA meeting.” After more than two decades as a member — serving as editorial board chair of the American Journal of Public Health, as an elected section chair, and as a governing councilor — APHA revoked my membership in September, stripped me of my elected leadership position, and banned me from attending meetings for two years. My offense? In November 2024, I participated in a protest at APHA’s Minneapolis meeting. Three dozen of us donned red latex gloves — signifying “blood on our hands” — and walked through the exhibit hall.

Activists Rally, Fill Courtroom For Mahmoud Khalil

Philadelphia - Oct. 21. Dozens of pro-Palestine activists and other supporters of Mahmoud Khalil filled the courtroom and an overflow room today, while others rallied outside the federal court here. Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and Palestinian activist, appeared before a hearing of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals to determine if he would be returned to custody or remain free. No decision was made at today’s hearing. Khalil is a legal resident and green card holder. He was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last March 8 in New York City.

Chicago Day Laborer, In ICE Detention, Facing Retaliation

October 21, 2025 Sarah Lazare, In These Times. Educate! Chicago, ICE, ICE detention, Immigrant Rights, Retaliation, Willian Giménez González

Willian Giménez González, a known advocate for the rights of day laborers who was abducted by federal agents on September 12, is speaking out from ICE detention. He says that federal authorities transferred him from the Broadview, Ill., ICE facility, to a detention center in Michigan, to move him away from his supporters. “I believe I was moved to Michigan at the last minute because I had the support of the community, and because my lawyer and politicians were protesting outside the jail,” he said, referring to the Broadview ICE facility. “I believe that because I had people fighting for me, I was targeted for transfer to prevent my supporters from helping me.”
