How do I comfort the loved ones I left behind in Gaza?

Mahmoud Mushtaha

October 17, 2024 For more than a year, Gaza has been stuck in an endless loop of destruction. While the rest of the world moves forward, for us, time feels frozen. People everywhere celebrate milestones, build futures, and pursue their passions, but in Gaza, Palestinians are still living the same day on repeat: bombs exploding, homes collapsing, funeral after funeral, and suffocating fear.

A fascist specter is haunting America

      Alberto Toscano

October 17, 2024

State racism in the name of workers’ interests.” That’s not the only response to the perennial question ​“What is fascism?” — but it is a compelling one. Now that mass deportation — starting with the Haitian residents of Springfield, Ohio — has joined sealed borders and ​“drill, baby, drill” as keystones of the Republican Party platform, it’s undeniable that the GOP’s much-ballyhooed effort to rebrand as the ​“party of workers” is inseparable from its assault on the rights and safety of immigrants. While the Trump campaign has run on protective tariffs, and some MAGA Republicans have praised the antitrust work of Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, the GOP’s core pitch remains simpler and more powerful: assuaging the fears of the ​“American worker” by ramping up terror against their ​“non- American” peers.

Israel is turning northern Gaza into a killing cage

MR

October 16, 2024

With the full support of the Biden administration, Israel is waging a merciless war of extermination against the 400,000 Palestinians remaining in the northern Gaza Strip as the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering a plan to annex the territory. No food, water, or medicine have entered the north since October 1 as Israeli forces have conducted a campaign of intense airstrikes and ground forces have invaded and encircled much of the area.

Reject the Failed Hawkish Consensus on Iran

Daniel Larison

October 09, 2024

No matter who wins the presidential election next month, US policy towards Iran seems likely to remain extremely hostile and confrontational. Both campaigns seem determined to out-hawk each other. The Iran policy debate in Washington, such as it is, is focused entirely on the same bankrupt coercive measures of sanctions, threats, and military action that are guaranteed to make things worse. There is no serious discussion of reducing tensions or resuming negotiations in the new year. The persistence of this failed hawkish consensus is dangerous for the US, Iran, and the wider region, and it needs to end.

Israelis Burn up Refugee Tents in Central Gaza, as they Plan Ethnic Cleansing of North

Juan Cole

October 14, 2024

Ann Arbor(Informed Comment) – One reason for which Palestinians in northern Gaza are resisting attempts of the Israelis to expel hundreds of thousands of them from what is left of their residences is that the center and the south of the country are still being indiscriminately bombarded by the Israeli military. Early on Monday morning (today), the Israeli army shelled the courtyard of al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in the center of the Gaza Strip, setting fire to refugee tents there. Initial reports said that 3 people were killed and 40 injured, though observers expect the casualty toll to climb. Some images from the scene released on social media showed patients in the courtyard hooked up to IV drips being engulfed by flames.

 

Indigenous Sovereignty Is Under Attack as Supreme Court Bends Rules for Settlers

Rebecca Nagle

October 14, 2024

The Supreme Court has made headlines in recent years for a variety of controversial rulings — for gutting affirmative action, granting the president broad immunity and overturning the constitutional right to an abortion. As the Supreme Court has moved further to the right (and struggles with a legitimacy crisis thanks to compounding ethics scandals), a growing portion of the U.S. population is concerned by how much power the court has. But long before Dobbs, Citizens United or even Bush v Gore, the Supreme Court was wreaking havoc in an area of the law that doesn’t often make mainstream news headlines: the sovereignty of Indigenous nations.

Israel subjects northern Gaza to one of the most violent campaigns of its genocide; int’l intervention required

Euro-Med HumanRights Monitor

October 10, 2024

An unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe is imminent as the Israeli occupation tightens its siege on the Jabalia camp and Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip for the fourth consecutive day. Israel is accelerating the pace of its genocide against the Palestinians there by carrying out mass and planned killings, as well as widespread forced displacements. The international community, led by the United Nations, must act swiftly and decisively to save 10s of thousands of residents who are being subjected to one of the most violent campaigns of genocide the Strip has ever witnessed.

I’m still reporting on Gaza. But the blood on our streets is no closer to drying

Mohammed R.Mhawish

October 9, 2024

On October 7 last year, the sky over Gaza ignited. The day began with the shocking scenes of Hamas rockets fired from Gaza, followed later by a torrent of Israeli missiles and warplanes. As a journalist who was on the ground in Gaza, I did what I’ve always done: I wrote, I documented, I interviewed, I bore witness. But nothing could have prepared me for the days, weeks, and months to come.

As Israel Extends Its Genocide Into the West Bank, It Targets and Kills Children

Marjorie Cohn

October 8, 2024

The Israeli occupation forces have extended their genocidal campaign in Gaza to the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Using drone strikes, troops in armored vehicles and bulldozers, their regular raids since October 7, 2023, have escalated into extensive and deadly attacks. Between August 28 and September 6, Israel launched “Operation Summer Camps,” a major military invasion, in the northern West Bank. “We watched their bulldozers tear up streets, demolish businesses, pharmacies, schools. They even bulldozed the town soccer field, and a tree in the middle of a road,” Kamal Abu al-Rub, the governor of Jenin, told The New York Times.
