End Israeli Apartheid

“Most of the water pipelines have been destroyed due to bulldozing by the Israeli army, and the municipality can’t repair them,“ Badawi, who lives in the neighborhood of Tel Al-Hawa, told +972.

“There’s no well nearby, so I have to send my kids to the sea to fetch water for daily use. Then I wait for the truck to arrive so I can mix clean water with the seawater to reduce its salinity and make it drinkable.“

In a hospital bed at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, Osama Al-Raqab, 4, lies emaciated -- his skeletal frame a stark symbol of the health and living crisis triggered by Israel’s blockade and genocide.

Once a healthy child, Osama’s condition rapidly deteriorated because of months of food shortages, medicine scarcity and restricted access to aid. His current weight is just 9 kg, far below the healthy average of 16 kg for his age.

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. People there remember the horrors of Naziism in Europe, and how Jewish people fled to a place where they would be protected.

Few Israelis want to think of or admit the horrors they're inflicting on their neighbours today.

Never again is now.

several brass memorial plaques, known as "Stolpersteine" or "stumbling stones," embedded in a cobblestone sidewalk in Berlin. These small brass plaques are flush with the cobblestones and contain engraved text. Stolpersteine are Holocaust memorials created by German artist Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of Nazi persecution. Each stone is typically placed in front of the last known residence or workplace of the victim before their deportation or murder. The brass plates usually contain the person's name, year of birth, date of arrest, fate (such as deportation or murder), and date and place of death if known. In the background of the image, there's a street with some pedestrians walking, trees providing shade, and storefronts. The cobblestone pavement has some grass growing between the stones, and there appear to be at least 6-7 Stolpersteine visible in this particular location, suggesting that multiple victims may have lived or worked at this address. These memorial stones serve as a decentralised monument throughout Europe, creating a tangible reminder of the Holocaust integrated into the everyday urban landscape.

End Israeli Apartheid

An investigation has found that an Israeli picture of an alleged Hamas tunnel in the Philadelphi Corridor which separates Gaza and Egypt was fake and used to prevent a ceasefire deal.

KAN reported on Wednesday that the claimed Hamas tunnel was in fact "a canal covered in dirt".

The picture was initially published by the Israeli military on the social media platform X on 4 August 2024. It claimed that the tunnel was three meters deep.

More than 90% of homes in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported, as the ongoing Israeli aggression aggravates the humanitarian crisis in the enclave. The IOM cited data from the UN OCHA in its report on Wednesday.

The IOM highlighted the scale of destruction, warning that civilians in Gaza are increasingly vulnerable with limited access to safe shelter.

"Whether or not Trump actually believes in his obscene neo-imperialist plan for mass population transfer in #Gaza, it had the effect of throwing Netanyahu a political lifeline. The prime minister swiftly pivoted and endorsed a scheme that he had never advocated—but around which his fractious, right-wing-religious governing coalition could consolidate."

US warplanes launched six airstrikes Wednesday targeting Yemen’s Saada governorate, said the Houthi group.

“Six American enemy airstrikes targeted the Sahlin area in Al-Salem district,” the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV channel said on X.

The Houthis have targeted ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden since November 2023 in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

#Palestine / Germany, France and UK demand access to Gaza Strip for aid deliveries

Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have jointly called on Israel to lift the blockade on humanitarian aid to Gaza, which has been in place for over 50 days. The three nations warned of a worsening humanitarian crisis, stating that Palestinian civilians, including 1 million children, face risks of starvation, disease, and death. Nearly all international and Palestinian aid organizations operating in Gaza have been forced to suspend or scale back operations.

The Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank is being fenced off by Israeli troops - disconnecting it from the city.

It's been more than three months since the Israeli assault on the camp began, displacing most of its residents.

In July 2024, the ICJ has ordered Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories “as rapidly as possible” and make full reparations for its “internationally wrongful acts”.

Sen. Peter Welch met with Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi, GS ’25, on Monday at a state correctional facility in Vermont.

According to the ICE detainee locator system, Mahdawi’s current location displays a message which reads “CALL FIELD OFFICE.” The listed phone number directed Spectator to a field office in Boston.

CNN and NBC reported that Mahdawi’s lawyers said he is still in Vermont, where he was initially arrested on April 14.
