The relentless brutality of settler-colonialism must not be overlooked

In a series of posts on X, the Senior Communications Officer of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Louse Wateridge, gave a brief but succinct description of Gaza after ten months of Israel’s ongoing genocide.

Herzog’s faux ‘humanitarian objective’ is soaked in Palestinian blood

Israel and the US have made the clearest admission yet that any ceasefire resolution is solely about the return of the Israeli hostages.

Israel’s creation and exploitation of Palestinian human shields

How many times have Israeli officials justified massacring Palestinian civilians because Hamas uses them as human shields? Israeli media has now reported the opposite – the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) using Palestinian civilians as human shields in areas slated for incursion.

The EU is consistent in getting its priorities wrong

As international organizations warned about outbreaks of serious diseases in Gaza, caused by Israel’s genocidal bombing, the EU got on board and pronounced itself “gravely concerned” over Israel’s targeting of Gaza’s infrastructure.

The Olympic Games and Israel’s security narrative

The Israeli Olympics team will be provided with 24-hour security during their stay in Paris, after left-wing MP Thomas Portes said that protests should be staged against the Israeli team’s participation.

Is the international community as dehumanized as Israel has proved itself to be?

Israel is forcibly disappearing future Palestinian generations

Humanitarian aid and Israel’s ‘voluntary migration’ scheme

Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis said earlier this week that, “We have offered ourselves to host injured people from Palestine but also children from Palestine to come to Europe and stay here until the war is over.”

The US role in Israel’s genocide in Gaza

US President Joe Biden’s interview with Time magazine attracted the attention of mainstream and Israeli media due to one particular comment.

UN resolutions did not stop Israel’s colonial expansion or its violence. And neither will they stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The US continues to provide cover for Israel’s genocide in Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains set in his plans to invade Rafah, with or without US assistance.
