US To Build Internment-Style Camps In Israeli-Controlled Gaza

November 12, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump's administration is advancing a controversial plan to build what US officials called “Alternate Safe Communities” for displaced Palestinians inside the Israeli-controlled areas in Gaza that make up half of the strip, The Atlantic reported on 10 November. According to The Atlantic, the initiative envisions a string of US-backed settlements for Palestinians screened and approved by Israel’s domestic intelligence service. Anyone – or their relatives – found to be affiliated with or supportive of Hamas would be barred from entry, effectively separating them from the majority still living under Hamas administration on the western side of what Israeli troops now call the “yellow line.”

US Human Rights Record Under Fire After Boycott Of UN Review

November 10, 2025 Charlie Jaay, The Canary. , , ,
On November 7, the US became only the second country in history – after ‘Israel’ in 2013 – to skip its scheduled Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the United Nations. (ISHR) The Universal Periodic Review is designed to promote and protect human rights in every UN member country. The UPR was established in 2006, and occurs every four to five years. Its aim is to review each of the 193 UN member states’ human rights record. The most recent review session took place on Friday, at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. There was no US representative present. This has shocked the international human rights community and also sparked widespread criticism and concern. The move ends nearly two decades of unbroken US participation, and comes at a time when there has been growing concerns over America’s human rights record.

The United States Violates The Human Right To Health

November 7, 2025 Martha L. Schmidt, LL.M., J.D., Popular Resistance. , , ,
Health care activists in the U.S. have a huge struggle to get the corporate media to take the human right to health seriously. The corporate media reports on some injuries and deaths, but their doom and gloom scenarios typically conclude nothing can be changed in this private, insurance-controlled system, which doesn’t work for the people. Despite the difficult time we’re in, with millions lacking access to health care, it’s an opportunity for health care activists to increase efforts for a public, not for profit, universal system in the U.S. One way is to use the international human rights system organized through the United Nations to broadcast our message to the rest of the world and to shame the U.S.

Chicago Residents ‘Refuse To Budge’ As ICE Terrorizes Communities

October 16, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
From hunting people down through the aisles of retail stores, to intentionally crashing into a vehicle on a residential street and then deploying tear gas against a gathered crowd of residents and protesters, agents with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement have been wreaking havoc in Chicago as part of their “Operation Midway Blitz”. According to the Department of Homeland Security, federal agents have made more than 1,500 arrests in the greater Chicago area since September 8 when the operation was announced – although data reveals some of these arrests to be outside of the state of Illinois.

FIDH Report: The Repression Of The Solidarity Movement With Palestine

October 15, 2025 the International Federation for Human Rights. , , , , , , , ,
Behind the fight against hate, a trend of repressing dissenting voices is emerging. Titled Criminalisation and Narrative Control: Solidarity with Palestine in the Crosshairs, the report documents how across all the countries studied, the dynamics observed since 7 October 2023 have intensified pre-existing structural trends: the continued shrinking of civic space, the weakening of democratic safeguards, the normalisation of Islamophobia, and the institutionalisation of racial profiling. Under the guise of maintaining public order, fighting antisemitism, or protecting national security, authorities have resorted to exceptional measures such as bans on demonstrations, arbitrary arrests, repression within academic institutions, media censorship, and legislative threats.

Burkina Faso Is A Place Of Dignity, Not Expulsion

October 15, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
“Burkina Faso is a place of dignity … not a place of expulsion,” said its Foreign Minister Karamoko Jean-Marie Traoré, rejecting US President Donald Trump’s deportation deal. Deeming Trump’s proposal for Burkina Faso to accept foreign nationals he is deporting from the US as “indecent”, he said it was “totally contrary to the value of dignity, which is … the very essence of the vision of Captain Ibrahim Traoré.” Coming to power in 2022 after the ouster of Roch Kaboré’s unpopular regime, propped up by France, Traoré expelled French troops, consolidating his mass support in the country. His avowed anti-imperialism and pan-Africanism have won him admirers across Africa and Black and Afro-descendant communities in the West.

Pro-Palestine Movement Vows To Continue Struggle For Lasting Peace

October 13, 2025 People's Dispatch. , , ,
Scenes of Palestinian emergency workers, journalists, displaced refugees, and children in Gaza celebrating on the streets widely circulated following the announcement of a ceasefire deal. In the United States, Israel’s most powerful ally, people involved in the Palestine solidarity movement met the moment with a similar sense of both mourning and cautious optimism.  The Palestinian Youth Movement, a Palestinian diaspora organization that has played a key role in organizing mass demonstrations in the United States since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza, joins “our people in welcoming the prospect of a durable ceasefire agreement,” according to a statement released October 9.

Anti-ICE Protests Continue As Judges Block National Guard Deployments

October 12, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
A US federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on October 9, blocking the Trump administration’s deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops to Chicago. Hundreds were already stationed in the midwestern city at the time of this ruling. This comes days after a separate judge blocked the deployment of the National Guard to Portland, Oregon. Currently, there are around 500 National Guard troops in the greater Chicago area, 2,400 in Washington, DC, and 100 still in Los Angeles down from a peak of 4,700 in June. With the support of the Governor of Tennessee, the state’s National Guard troops are set to begin patrolling the city of Memphis.

Tiktok, Oracle, And Israel: The New Geopolitics Of Algorithms

October 9, 2025 Miguel Ruiz, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
Launched in 2017 by the private Chinese company ByteDance, TikTok quickly became one of the most important social networks on the planet. By early 2025, it had 1.6 billion active users, more than half of them outside China, of whom an estimated 170 million are North American; 1 in 5 people in the US get their news from this network, 4 in 10 among the 18-29 age group. Today, it is the fastest-growing platform among the younger segments of the global population. The US government has waged a long battle to force ByteDance to sell the US branch of TikTok to a group of “domestic” capitalists, citing national security concerns and threatening to ban the platform in the US if the deal did not go through.

Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Fernández de Cossío, along with Cuban diplomats from the Permanent Mission of Cuba to the United Nations, gathered in Harlem alongside US-based activists and organizational leaders to commemorate the historic meeting between Fidel Castro and Malcolm X which took place 65 years ago. “The meeting at the Hotel Theresa was not a photo-op or passing event,” said Manolo De Los Santos, the executive director of New York City-based movement incubator The People’s Forum. De Los Santos addressed the crowd gathered in the Riverside Church in Harlem. “It was a profound act of solidarity that showed the world a different way forward.”

China Warns Of Retaliation As US Pushes 100% Tariffs

September 17, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
Last week, US President Donald Trump demanded that his European allies impose a 100% tariff against China and India for importing oil from Russia. He apparently promised the European envoy that he would match Europe and impose similar tariffs against both countries. Trump has accused China and India of funding the war in Ukraine by importing oil from Russia. This was confirmed by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday in an interview with Reuters. He claimed that his country will not impose more tariffs on China and India over Russian oil imports until the Europeans do it. In response, China reiterated that no amount of external pressure or coercion will make it compromise its “sovereignty, security and development interests” and warned that if its “legitimate rights and interests are harmed” in any way it will “resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard” them.

Media Outlets Ask Trump Not To ‘Edit’ Press Visas

September 16, 2025 Cuba Periodistas, Resumen English. , , , , ,
A hundred media outlets and journalists’ associations have signed a statement asking the US government to withdraw its previously announced plans to shorten the duration of visas for foreign journalists to less than one year. “The proposal to limit visas to 240 days would disrupt a proven system, create instability for correspondents and their families, and reduce the quantity and quality of coverage from the United States,” the statement said. According to the signatories, the current visas, which allow stays of up to five years, “have for decades ensured that international journalists can accurately report on live and breaking news in the United States.”

The Caribbean On A Knife’s Edge: Trump’s Military Buildup Threatens Venezuela

September 10, 2025 Manolo De Los Santos, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
The sun glints off the gray hull of the USS Iwo Jima, a massive amphibious assault ship cutting through the Caribbean Sea. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, a key architect of the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” policies, stands on deck before a group of sailors and marines. His voice, amplified by the ship’s public address system, is a low, serious rumble that carries across the choppy waters. “What you’re doing right now is NOT training,” he says, in a scene reminiscent of George W. Bush’s staged landing to declare victory in Iraq. “This is a REAL-WORLD EXERCISE on behalf of the vital national interests of the United States of America, to end the POISONING of the American people.”

USA Can Only Regain Strength If It Understands Why It Lost It

September 8, 2025 Bharat Dogra, Countercurrents. , , ,
The USA is a country well- endowed with natural resources and strategically suited geographical location. In the 20th century history too was on its side as a number of factors added to its strengths and, overcoming the setback of the great depression, after the end of the Second World War the USA emerged as the most powerful country in the world with its great military power supported by wider military alliances and above all its currency having worldwide acceptance. Subsequently the USA added very substantially to its military strengths and even after unilaterally moving away from the gold standard the international acceptance of its currency was retained. Its glory appeared to be complete with the disintegration of the Soviet Union around 1990.

‘We’re Going In’: Trump Moves To Deploy Troops To Chicago

September 4, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
After weeks of threats, US President Donald Trump officially announced that he is sending federal forces to the US city of Chicago. On September 2, Trump declared his intent to send federal troops, including National Guard personnel, to Chicago to address rising crime, stating: “We’re going in. I didn’t say when, but we’re going in.” On Tuesday, Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that Chicago is “the worst and most dangerous city in the World, by far.” Chicago is not the most dangerous city in the world or even the nation in terms of violent crime and homicide. Chicago’s overall violent crime rate remains higher than the national average, but it’s seeing a steady decline.
