    Israeli soldiers are using slain Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh’s face for target practice – Mondoweiss

    Israeli soldiers are using the photo of murdered American-Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh for target practice. 

    This is one of the revelations in the newly released Zeteo documentary “Who Killed Shireen.” The film exposes previously unreported details around the murder of the famous Al Jazeera journalist by an Israeli sniper in Jenin on May 11, 2022, including the identity of the sniper who assassinated Abu Akleh. It also reveals how the Biden administration knew from…

  • Why Trump cut a deal with Yemen behind Israel’s back and what it means for the region – Mondoweiss

    Why Trump cut a deal with Yemen behind Israel’s back and what it means for the region – Mondoweiss

    Israeli officials were blindsided on Tuesday as they heard the news reports of U.S. President Donald Trump’s agreement with Ansar Allah (also known as the Houthis). The deal, which will end the American bombing of Yemen in exchange for Ansar Allah ceasing its attacks on American ships in the Red Sea, was brokered by Oman completely without Israel’s knowledge.

    It was a clear message that Israel’s position in Washington is not what Benjamin Netanyahu had hoped it would be when…

  • Exterminating Gaza was always Israel’s plan, but now it’s official – Mondoweiss

    Exterminating Gaza was always Israel’s plan, but now it’s official – Mondoweiss

    It has been a year since Israel first invaded Rafah and crossed Biden’s illusory “red line.” The Israeli army destroyed the Rafah crossing, isolating Gaza from Egypt and completely cutting it off from the outside world. Israel was free to conduct the mass displacement of Palestinians away from the Egyptian border, but it never admitted to that goal. 

    But now, Rafah is no more, and Israel’s recently approved plan to reoccupy Gaza indefinitely has made explicit what many…

    India’s attack on Pakistan is straight out of the Israeli playbook – Mondoweiss

    As bombs rain down on Gaza and the world looks away, another settler colonial project is taking notes. From New Delhi to Tel Aviv, the ideological affinity between Israeli Zionism and India’s Hindutva movement has never been more pronounced as India strikes Pakistan.

    And with Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza facing little to no meaningful international accountability, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has every reason to believe that he, too, can escalate his…

    I was in the BBC documentary ‘The Settlers.’ This is the part of my story they didn’t tell. – Mondoweiss

    The BBC documentary ‘The Settlers,” directed by Josh Baker and written by Louis Theroux, has recently aired to much international attention. It aims to give Western viewers an inside look into the minds of Israeli settlers – those who occupy Palestinian land in the West Bank, often with open ideological commitment to ethnic cleansing and supremacy. 

    The film achieves its goal to a certain extent, as it exposed the raw, unfiltered language of settlers who speak brazenly about…

    New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney must chart a new course on Palestine – Mondoweiss

    This week, Canada elected a new prime minister, Mark Carney. In his victory speech upon his election, he indicated a commitment to a new chapter for Canada, one where the country will cease integration with the U.S. and forge a new path forward on foreign policy. Many are hoping this includes a new course for Canadian foreign and domestic policy on Palestine. Prime Minister Carney now has a chance to chart a new course and must act to help stop these atrocities that our country has…

  • Liberal win in Canada’s election upsets Israel supporters – Mondoweiss

    Liberal win in Canada’s election upsets Israel supporters – Mondoweiss

    The Canadian election results angered the right people. But for Palestine the Liberal win represents at best harm reduction.

    “I’m deeply disappointed by the election results,” declared Aviva Klompas, a former speechwriter for the Israeli mission to the United Nations and Toronto native. For her part, Zionist influencer Dahlia Kurtz said she was moving to Florida because the country was now “The Islamic Republic of Canada.”

    In response professor Sabreena…

    White House lied about ceasefire efforts – Mondoweiss

    There were many disheartening moments during the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign for progressives who support Palestinian rights. Yet few were quite as deflating as that moment when the ostensibly progressive, leading member of The Squad, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stood at the podium at the Democratic National Convention and told the audience that then-Vice President Kamala Harris was “working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and bring the hostages home.”

    We knew she was…

  • Violent mobs from Brooklyn to the West Bank are united in the fascism of Zionism – Mondoweiss

    Violent mobs from Brooklyn to the West Bank are united in the fascism of Zionism – Mondoweiss

    “Death to Arabs.”

    Those were the words chanted by many members of a Zionist mob in New York City that engaged in violent acts in support of notable fascist and Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir.

    His visit to the United States has led to countless headlines over the past weeks. That’s hardly surprising, as he has spent over a year enthusiastically supporting the continued genocide in Gaza as a member of the Israeli parliament and on-again, off-again…

    In the West Bank, the media describes relative ‘calm’. Our reality couldn’t be more different. – Mondoweiss

    A few years ago, I witnessed a human rights organization’s interview with a released Palestinian prisoner. He was a 16-year-old teenager who had spent four months in Israeli detention, and when the human rights lawyer asked him if he had been tortured, he shrugged and said that he hadn’t.

    Then the lawyer asked him how he was treated. He said that he was deprived of sleep and kept in the cold on his first night of detention; he was handcuffed to the chair during interrogation…
