Biden’s time in office is coming to an end, but not before a parting gift for Israel. The State Department recently announced that it would notify Congress about another massive arms deal, this one worth $8 billion. It includes medium-range air-to-air missiles, Hellfire missiles, 500-pound bombs, and more. The announcement comes amid a deluge of dire news out of Gaza. Flood. Famine. Extreme cold. Israel killed more than 234 Palestinians during the first 4 days of 2025. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International recently published reports saying Israel is committing genocide.

Israeli forces stepped up their ongoing violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon on 26 December, pushing troops deeper into south Lebanon and kidnapping a Lebanese citizen. “The Israeli enemy continues to violate the ceasefire agreement, attack Lebanon's sovereignty and citizens, and destroy southern villages and towns,” the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) said in a statement on Thursday. “In this context, on 12/26/2024, Israeli enemy forces penetrated several points in the areas of Qantara, Adshit al-Qusayr, and Wadi al-Hujayr.

Schools Are No Place For The ADL

Launched in 1913 to counter antisemitism and discrimination, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) now resembles a mythological shapeshifter that presents alternately as a civil rights organization and a pro-Israel propagandist. In its “No Place for Hate” program that caters to both elementary and secondary schools, the ADL’s stated mission is to empower students, teachers and parents to “stand against bias and bullying …” with school-wide pledges, projects and games aimed at celebrating diversity and stamping out hate in the halls, in the cafeteria, in the reading circle, anywhere that hate may manifest.

Inside ‘Greater Israel’: Myths And Truths Behind The Zionist Fantasy

December 18, 2024 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. Educate! Gaza, Greater Israel, Israel, Israeli Imperialism, Israeli Occupation, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Wars and Militarism, Zionism

As Israel pushed its forces deep into sovereign Syrian territory following the fall of Bashar Al-Assad’s regime the term ‘Greater Israel’ has resurfaced in media coverage. The term has been used in recent days to describe Israel’s military expansion beyond its currently recognized borders, an ever-expanding definition of what the Israeli state can come to encompass. The maps used to describe the vision often echo biblical stories that many Zionists consider as history. But what is the ‘Greater Israel’ idea in actuality? Is there really such an Israeli project? And how realistic is it that it will be realized?

Iran’s Khamenei Blames US And Israel For Syrian Crisis

The US and Israel bear joint responsibility for the current situation in Syria, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said during a public event in Tehran on Wednesday, December 11. This was the first time Khamenei addressed the topic following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government and the establishment of a Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-backed administration in Syria. While acknowledging Turkey’s role in supporting HTS, a designated terrorist organization that seized power after President Assad left the country on Sunday, Khamenei said that “the main conspirator, the main planner and the command centre lie in America and the Zionist regime,” IRNA reported.

The Zionist Effort To Defund Climate And Environmental Justice

While the emissions reduction efficacy of the so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is still in question, it’s less debatable that the “historic climate law” has distributed hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions, to certain climate and environmental justice organizations (CEJ). Many in the U.S. climate community herald this development as CEJ groups have been historically underfunded and markedly less resourced than historically white-led environmental organizations, commonly referred to as “Big Green.” According to a 2020 report by researcher Michael Thomas, environmental justice organizations received between $25 and $50 million.

Death In The Bekaa Valley

On Thursday evening news came through that we had at long last gained the full list of approvals required to travel to report outside Beirut; we were cleared by the Ministry of Information, the Ministry of Defence, and the local authorities. Laith Marouf of Free Palestine TV called me and suggested we go down together on Friday to the southern capital of Nabatieh, which has been enduring heavy bombing. I asked Laith to give me half an hour, and did some quick research. Nabatieh is about 12 miles from the Israeli border and has been devastated by Israeli bombing attacks. In the South of the country some 70,000 homes have been destroyed.

There Is No Place For Zionism, Racism And Fascism In Europe

The Executive Committee of the Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement commented on the events that took place in the streets of Amsterdam and the reactions of the racist Dutch regime that targeted Arab and progressive youth and supporters of Palestine. These repressive attacks continue to target the free revolutionary voices that defend Palestinian rights and reject the Zionist war of extermination in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, instead of the Netherlands preventing the entry of racist hooligan fans of Zionist football clubs and holding them accountable for their assaults on the population. These racist football hooligans participate directly in the crimes of the Zionist enemy and consider themselves an integral part of the ranks of the Zionist army; they form armed colonial militias and carry out daily attacks on our people in occupied Jerusalem and the West Bank and call for the displacement of the Palestinian people and desecration of Islamic and Christian holy sites.

Israel’s Roots In European Colonialism Explain Its Genocidal Ideology

Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. This is precisely what numerous United Nations experts have determined. Several countries have joined South Africa in a case in the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinian people, and judges at the Hague have stated that it is “plausible” that Tel Aviv is violating the Genocide Convention. Top Israeli officials have made genocidal calls for the elimination of the Palestinian people, whom they demonize as “human animals”. Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich argued that it would be “justified and moral” to starve to death all 2 million Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

The Fall Of Israel

October 9, 2024 Scott Ritter, Consortium News. Educate! Hamas, Israel, Middle East, Palestine, Wars and Militarism, Zionism

I have previously written about Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, calling it “the most successful military raid of this century.” I have described the Hamas action as a military operation, while Israel and its allies have called it a terrorist action on the scale of what transpired against the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. “The difference between the two terms,” I noted, “is night and day — by labeling the events of October 7 as acts of terrorism, Israel transfers blame for the huge losses away from its military, security, and intelligence services, and onto Hamas. If Israel were, however, to acknowledge that what Hamas did was in fact a raid — a military operation — then the competency of the Israeli military, security, and intelligence services would be called into question, as would the political leadership responsible for overseeing and directing their operations.”

The True Lesson Of October 7 Is That Israel Cannot Be Reformed

October 9, 2024 Ghada Karmi, Mondoweiss. Strategize! Genocide, Israel, Palestine, Wars and Militarism, Zionism

As we come up to the first anniversary of Israel’s war on Gaza, I think back to 1948, when Israel was first created. Our family lived in Jerusalem, where I was born. But, like most of Palestine’s population, we were forced out from our homes in 1948 to make room for the state of Israel being created in our place. Learning to live in exile, people’s one comfort was the thought that Israel would not last. Such gross injustice could not prevail, they said, and the rag-tag collection of immigrants who came to Palestine from a variety of countries and were artificially assembled into something they called a ‘state’ would soon return to the places from which they came.

US Jewish Institutions Are Purging Their Staffs Of Anti-Zionists

Dan Fischer had been working as a Hebrew and Jewish ethics teacher for three years at Sinai Synagogue in South Bend, Ind., when a television reporter asked him for comment during an “All Out for Palestine” rally held four days after October 7. “I am one of multiple Jews that are here today, proud to be in solidarity with the people of Gaza and Palestine,” Fischer said. “And I know that my tradition, the Jewish tradition, is a religion of tzedek, meaning justice, and shalom, meaning peace.” He was fired the next day. The synagogue sent a letter to the congregation saying it “had no choice but to release a teacher from his employment … effective immediately.”

Imperialism Makes Mockery Of The United Nations General Assembly

Next year will represent the 80th anniversary of the formation of the United Nations Organization in San Francisco which took place in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Since 1945 the composition of the organization has been transformed as a direct result of the successes of the national liberation movements and socialist revolutions that came to power from the late 1940s through the modern period. In its earliest phase, the overwhelming number of governments represented at the UN were colonial powers which welded political and economic power based upon the outcomes of the victories of the war. The bulk of the military clashes during the Second Imperialist War were in Europe, North Africa, Asia and the Asia-Pacific.

President Maduro Orders Checks Of All Army Communication Devices

The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, has asked the Bolivarian National Armed Forces to proceed with plans to review all communications and cyber equipment owned by the national military and security institution, in order to prevent such equipment from being used to attack the country. During his participation in the 19th anniversary commemoration of the Strategic Operational Command of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (CEOFANB) this Thursday, September 26, President Maduro explained that this decision was made after the Israeli settler state recently hacked communication devices such as cell phones or pagers to carry out terrorist attacks in Lebanon, killing dozens and injuring thousands.

Zionist Organizations’ Latest Strategy To Criminalize Palestine Advocacy

September 25, 2024 Amira Jarmakani and Emmaia Gelman, Mondoweiss. Educate! Anti-Semitism, Civil Rights, Education, Israel, Palestine Solidarity, Zionism

Universities welcomed their students back this fall with a set of policies designed to silence pro-Palestine speech and preemptively criminalize protest. Fortified by strategies from the security industry, they provide an administrative alibi for further militarizing campuses. Yet there’s another, more insidious move at play, one belied by the fact that some universities house these new repressive policies under the guise “free speech” and student’s rights. Across the county, universities are employing the right-wing tactic of weaponizing rights to quash dissent. In the process, we are seeing how the pretense of civil rights mobilizes a machinery of repression aimed to eradicate the movement for Palestinian liberation.
