After it was given full impunity to destroy Gaza and kill tens of thousands of Palestinians, Israel is bringing its horrific, mass violence to other parts of the world. Enough.
Israel has ordered half a million people in Beirut to evacuate. Beirut is the capital of Lebanon. Israel has no right to order its evacuation or to bomb the homes and communities of the families who live there.
With eyes on Iran, Israel is starving Palestinians in Gaza by shutting down border crossings to block the entry of food-aid.
“No one in Gaza has forgotten the taste of hunger. Nor have they yet recovered from the famine.”
Israel’s illegal closure of the West Bank has banned Palestinian movement and allowed Israeli settlers to ramp up their violence against Palestinians.
In the first 4 days of the closure, there were at least 50 incidents of settler violence.
Trump’s Board is planning to take over Gaza and force the remaining Palestinians into concentration camps.
25 of the 27 member states that make up the Board have been cited by the US State Department for human rights abuses.
“Community kitchens are already closing, and prices for basic goods have started to rise. Even amid a widening regional war, international humanitarian law still requires Israel to facilitate relief for civilians under its control.”
Israel has shut down Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan, the holiest month of the year for Muslims, preventing thousands from praying at one of their religion’s holiest sites.
Israel’s closure of Al-Aqsa is an unprecedented escalation in Israel’s control over Palestinian lives.
“There is a [...] confluence of global events and national domestic sentiment that has created the conditions for the left and right to actually agree on something: that this relationship we’ve got going on with Israel is no good for us.”
Israel’s closure of most of Gaza’s border crossings is forcing humanitarian organizations to ration life-saving supplies and fuel, putting hospital operations and water and sanitation services at risk of closure.
Israeli settlers violently attacked two foreign peace activists, one 71-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man, for attempting to defend Palestinians from Israeli settlers who were trying to steal their land.
“What could possibly explain Trump’s decision to opt for such self-inflicted wounds to U.S. interests? The answer, in a word, is Israel."
As Israel and the US launched their attack on Iran, Israel closed all military crossings in the West Bank and Gaza, stranding hundreds of Palestinians.
Israeli soldiers have no right to be on Palestinian land—let alone to control where Palestinians can and can’t go at all times of day.
Israel has left behind countless unexploded ordnance like bombs, grenades, and landmines all over the West Bank.
Last Tuesday, a 14-year-old boy was killed by one as he was picking plants.
“Palestinians are not a problem to be solved or a population to be pacified. They are a people with political demands that no amount of construction can build over: an end to occupation, the right of return, sovereignty, and freedom.”
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has stated that Israel’s disregard for human rights in Gaza and the West Bank appear to be “aimed at making a permanent demographic change.”
This is ethnic cleansing.
Israel killed at least 6 Palestinians in Gaza last night in attacks on police posts.
Israel is continuing to blatantly disregard the ceasefire and carry on with its brutal genocide in Gaza—it must face global sanctions.
“Where tables once overflowed with rich dishes shared among relatives & neighbors, Gazans struggle to feed their children from scarce humanitarian parcels.[...] But all of us still here cannot help but wonder: Will we live to see the next Ramadan in Gaza?”
A mob of 30 or more Israeli settlers violently stormed the Palestinian town of Susiya and set fire to Palestinians’ cars and property.
Israeli settlers are trying to violently remove Palestinians from their land in order to steal it.
“Israel has simply invented new ways to violate international law, further entrenching its unlawful occupation & apartheid – while the international community continues, at best, to pay lip service to Palestinians’ rights & taken no effective action.”
Israeli soldiers were caught on video shooting a 14-year-old Palestinian boy at close range. Immediately after, 14 soldiers stood around him for about 45 minutes as he died, blocking two ambulances from saving his life.
WATCH NOW: Ms. Rachel has released her special friendship episode, featuring Rahaf, a 3-year-old girl from Gaza who lost both her legs in an Israeli strike, and Tareq Hailat from PCRF.
“He [an Israeli officer] said that ‘Gaza is ours — if not today, then in twenty years, in thirty years. We own Gaza now. Not a single Palestinian will remain. You will all leave, and it will belong to us.’”
Israeli settlers have killed another Palestinian American, 19-years-old Nasrallah Abu Siyam.
The US should be taking action to protect Americans from violent Israeli settlers. Instead, the Trump administration hasn’t even condemned his killing.
Israel banned dozens of humanitarian aid organizations from carrying out their life-saving work providing aid to Palestinians.
Now, 17 of these organizations are going to court to fight for their ability to work in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.
Of the 129 journalists and media workers who were killed in 2025, two-thirds of them were killed by Israel.
Israel was also responsible for 81% of killings that the Committee to Protect Journalists classified as “intentionally targeted.”
Last night, Akinola Davies Jr. ended his BAFTAs victory speech by dedicating the award to those living under occupation and calling for a free Palestine.
BBC completely cut it out of the broadcast.
A new report finds that after Israel massacred 15 Palestinian aid workers in Gaza with nearly 1,000 bullets in March 2025, it began to build a GHF site atop the site of the massacre.
GHF was the US-backed project that used the promise of food to attract starving Palestinians before killing them.
The Trump administration is planning to build a 350 acre military base in Gaza where Israel has been committing a genocide on for over two years.
