Infertility After the War: Is Gaza Facing a Reproductive Health Crisis?

The consequences of war are often measured in the number of people killed, the scale of destruction, and the hospitals forced out of service. But in Gaza, another crisis is unfolding quietly – one whose consequences may extend for decades: a reproductive health crisis. Beyond the immediate injuries of war, thousands are living through conditions that may affect their ability to conceive and build families. Yet this issue receives little attention compared with the other dimensions of Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe. Uncertain futures For Palestinians, having children has long represented continuity, hope, and life. But war does not only kill people; it…

Karoline Leavitt resigns after Trump leaves her on decoy plane

In July, US president Donald Trump secretly changed planes while several members of his administration flew on what’s been described as a ‘decoy plane’. This happened because of a supposed threat to the president’s life. And people have taken it as a sign that Trump was more than happy to use his top people as bait. Now, one of the people he left on the decoy plane has resigned – press secretary Karoline Leavitt. And people are speculating it’s directly linked to Trump’s airborne shenanigans: Karoline Leavitt announced her resignation 24 hours after she found out that Trump left her for…

As US weaponry runs out, “Iranians proved remarkably resilient and adept” at rebuilding after strikes: NYT

Iran has proved “remarkably resilient and adept” at rebuilding after US strikes since the April ceasefire, according to Eric Schmitt of The New York Times, a damning indictment of US military overreach as its weaponry runs out. On the NYT podcast The Daily, national security correspondent Eric Schmitt said that after the April ceasefire, Pete Hegseth’s claim that Iran has “no air defences, no air force, no navy” was a “fundamental miscalculation.” The podcast frames the US not being the villain, despite it starting wars and destabilising the world. The framing is that suggests that Trump is simply stupid — having…

Father grieves son, 27, after Israeli settler shooting leaves his second child paralysed

Israeli settlers continue their violent campaign of intimidation, displacement and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. On 9 August, colonisers from the nearby Susya settlement attacked residents of Wadi Rakhim village in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron. Israeli settlers devastate family-of-three During the attack settlers opened fire on residents and threw stones. Five Palestinians were assaulted and beaten while Mohammed Shiniran (pictured below), was shot in the shoulder and taken to hospital. Mohammed’s two sons were shot on 7 March by Luria Lusky, an illegal settler who wore a military reserve uniform. Sadly, 27-year-old Amir was killed while…

Polanski slams BBC Reform-friendly hypocrisy after Newsnight ambush

Green Party leader Zack Polanski has taken aim at “absurd” editorial decisions by the BBC. In particular, Polanski slammed the Beeb for giving far more airtime to Reform UK than the Greens. His comments come after tge BBC was seemingly ambushed on Newsnight by presenters last week. There, Polanski’s interviewers read anonymous texts from “senior” Reform figures live on air. For context, Reform UK’s unelected spokesperson Zia Yusuf has appeared on BBC Question Time a whole 38 times. That’s more than the Green Party’s people have appeared collectively on the show. After multiple such failures at the BBC, it’s quite clear…

Trump targets birthright citizenship again after losing Supreme Court case

Trump signed two new executive orders on Thursday. These orders were aimed at narrowing birthright citizenship. This came just a month after the Supreme Court struck down his previous attempt. According to Fox News, “the new directives rely on existing executive and immigration authorities and are intended to narrow eligibility for automatic citizenship in certain cases while cracking down on foreigners who travel to the United States to give birth.” Trump announced the orders in the Oval Office, with adviser Stephen Miller looking on. Miller called birth tourism “a fraud on the American system” and “a fraud against the American government.”…

15 year old Palestinian on life support five months after Israel arrest

15 year old Mohammad Suleiman Hamed, was detained by genocidal Israel. Because he suffered no previous health conditions, his family was surprised by a call from Physicians for Human Rights, informing them their son would undergo surgery in the hospital. Hamed is now unconscious, on life support in the intensive care unit of the “Israeli” Shaare Zedek Medical Centre, in occupied Jerusalem.

UKLFI’s desperate efforts to control anti-Israel narrative succeeds after vegan fest cancelled

A new four‑day vegan festival in London, billed as being “built on principles of love and kindness for all sentient beings” has been cancelled after complaints from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI). The Scout Association cancelled the Great Vegan Festival’s venue booking just weeks before the event was to take place at their Gilwell Park Activity Centre in Chingford. The association pulled the plug after UKLFI wrote to management warning them that several acts on the line‑up were “antisemitic”. A statement from the Great Vegan Gathering read: After pressure from UK Lawyers for Israel, Gilwell Park decided to cancel our venue…

US mocked after mislabelling every country in Africa on AIDS conference map

A US government delegation to an AIDS conference mislabelled every nation in Africa on a map it used during a presentation. Audience members at the conference in Brazil naturally snapped the bizarre map and shared it online. A Reuters analysis found: The image of the map included ⁠in the presentation contained an artificial intelligence watermark that signals it was made with OpenAI tools. The ​company said it was investigating the report. The state ‌department said it took “full responsibility” ‌for the confusion caused and that the map had been produced by a team member who hastily changed ‌the slide deck before…

Spain deploys army to Moroccan colony after mass influx of refugees

Spain has deployed the military after up to 50,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta, a common crossing point and Spanish colonial enclave on the north African coast. Authorities are tightlipped about the mass crossing but up to 34 people are reported to have died. Time magazine reported: While surges in illegal crossings have happened before in Ceuta, it’s unclear what caused the recent one. Thousands of migrants have streamed into the tiny Spanish territory of Ceuta in North Africa from Morocco, prompting local officials to call for help from Spain’s national government in Madrid to restore the border. pic.twitter.com/S2fTWapBzR — The Associated…

Boy George exits ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ after releasing pro-genocide track

Former pop star Boy George has pulled out of his planned appearance from next week in the London Palladium’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar. The withdrawal comes shortly after the performer released a track supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, which he denies is a genocide. George’s manager said the decision had been made with the “utmost respect” for those involved in the show’s production. This ‘respect’ claim is despite manager Paul Kemsley’s assumption that “many people purchased tickets in the hope of seeing George perform”. Genocide apologist No mention of the disgust at his support for the apartheid occupation’s slaughter and…

Eddie Howe leaves Newcastle after nearly five years in charge

Eddie Howe’s time at Newcastle United is over. After nearly five years in charge, the head coach has stepped down following discussions with the club’s hierarchy over the past 48 hours. The move, however, did not come out of nowhere. Howe had already begun contemplating a departure weeks earlier, even as he continued preparing the squad for their Premier League opener against Liverpool on August 23. His exit lands just 25 days before that fixture. It also arrives at a moment when Newcastle are attempting to stabilise after a turbulent summer of major sales, shifting priorities and growing uncertainty around key…

Israel bombs Gaza family’s tent, killing children – after bombing their home

The occupation has murdered children of the Al Balawi family overnight in Gaza. Israel is continuing to violate the supposed ‘ceasefire’ nightly. The family’s tent in Gaza City was bombed, killing several children and severely wounding others – among multiple such bombings around midnight. Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat posted a graphic series of images depicting the bodies of murdered children covered in blood – viewer discretion is advised. Gaza pummelled by terror state This is not the first time that the family’s children have been targeted by the colonial occupier. The IOF bombed their home in southern Gaza City eight months…

Reform quibble ‘Nazi’ label after councillor speaks at violent ‘Unite the Clans’ rally

On Saturday 25 July, a far-right ‘Unite the Clans’ rally saw masked, violent fascists attacking people of colour on the streets of Glasgow. However, Reform MSP Thomas Kerr has since taken to social media to complain about the racist thugs being called Nazis — because obviously that’s the most important issue at hand. Glasgow police force has reported 15 arrests so far. The charges included hate crimes, assault, carrying an offensive weapon, and breaching the peace. The BBC also reported that the police expected to make more arrests in the coming days: Ch Supt Emma Croft said the suspects, many of whom…

MP: UK must stop evading genocide obligations after Sadiq Khan’s admission

Independent MP Adnan Hussain has demanded action from the UK government after London Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan admitted Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Khan is supported in his demand by at least nine other parliamentarians. International law requires International Criminal Court (ICC) member states take every available action to prevent genocide. The Starmer government contorted itself shamelessly to strenuously deny the genocide. New PM Andy Burnham has shown similar evasiveness. But Khan’s admission, coming from one of the Labour party’s most senior representatives, puts the Burnham government firmly on the legal hook. Quoting Khan’s recent speech, Hussain made the point emphatically below.…

Campaigners march to end greyhound racing after 100 years of suffering

Animal welfare campaigners took to the streets of central London on Saturday 25 July. They were calling on the government to ban the “inherently dangerous” sport of greyhound racing in England. Campaigners organised The Century of Suffering: March to End Dog Racing Now to highlight the scale of pain and suffering greyhounds have faced at the hands of the greyhound racing industry since the first race took place 100 years ago. It follows landmark moves by the Welsh and Scottish parliaments earlier this year to ban greyhound racing in both Wales and Scotland. The government stipulates that governing body the Greyhound…

Spain win second World Cup after suffocating Argentina out of game

Spain’s second World Cup title did not arrive in a blaze of chaos or a flurry of goals. It came through something far more familiar, control. Luis de la Fuente’s side beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time in New Jersey. Ferran Torres delivered the decisive moment, but the story of this final was written long before the ball hit the net. Spain dominated every phase, every rhythm, every inch of the pitch. This was a victory for football philosophy. Spain dominated The match never resembled the dramatic, end‑to‑end final of 2022. It never threatened to. Spain imposed their game immediately, pinning…

Nigel Farage had state security after accepting £5m, so what is the truth?

Nigel Farage and Reform UK have several ongoing scandals, with some of them being interlinked. Farage’s biggest controversy is probably the undeclared £5 million gift he received from a foreign-based crypto donor. This is linked to Reform UK’s controversial recent claim that their MPs receive no security from the state because Farage has at times claimed he needs that £5 million for security. Now, it turns out he was getting state security. The arrogance of Farage’s lie about being refused state funded security is exceeded by his crass stupidity in thinking he could get away with it Yesterday Yusuf revealed that…
