US Democratic Party Leader Chuck Schumer joined far-right Israeli Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other far-right Israeli lawmakers and American politicians in the annual Israel Day Parade in New York City over the weekend. Smotrich, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, is openly genocidal and has repeatedly called for Israel to completely ethnically cleanse all 1.8 million people from Gaza, so it can ‘be settled’. Smotrich also called to annex the entirety of the West Bank during a speech at a Jerusalem Day rally last month. Chuck Schumer is marching in NYC alongside a genocidal maniac wanted for war crimes…

A bill before the US Congress seeks to essentially merge the US and Israeli militaries — with many saying it puts the IOF in the driving seat. Many would say the IOF already is, of course. The ‘United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative’ has been described as a “sweeping proposal” to merge the two militaries to an “unprecedented degree”. Foreign policy thinktank Responsible Statecraft said that “Section 224”: lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of US-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation. Others put it more succinctly, like Arab-Jewish ‘ex-Israeli’ analyst…

A screenshot from the Kan 11 programme, which is only viewable on YouTube in Hebrew, and by using a VPN set to Israel. Israel’s long-running paedophilia scandal has exploded. A new documentary shown on Israeli TV has capped years of campaigning by victims and allies this week. Titled “No longer in denial: Gush Etzion admits to ritual abuse”, the Kan 11 ‘Zman Emet’ programme contained testimonies by victims living in illegal settlements that their leaders engaged in the gang-rape of children. The ‘leaders’ filmed the abuse and distributed it to their fellow paedophiles — and the local council has acknowledged the…

The US government has dropped all federal charges against Ori Solomon, who is now free to leave the US and return to Israel. Solomon’s hidden, illegal biolab in a rental lock-up left neighbours and the police who entered it “deathly ill”. However, the only charges he now faces relate to illegal waste disposal. The official story now is that the lab was making unlicensed “medical testing kits”. Those, however, do not commonly make people “deathly ill”. US operates revolving door of impunity The US has a track record of turning a blind eye or dropping cases in order to allow Israelis…

It might have looked like a scene from a prison in so-called ‘Israel’, but the appalling scenes actually unfolded at Bilbao airport. It wasn’t Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) beating peaceful Basque activists, but rather their own police force, the Ertzaintza, who smashed them with batons as they lay helpless on the ground. More shockingly still, the activists had only just returned from captivity in ‘Israeli’ dungeons. They were participants in the heroic Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which sought to bring aid to Palestinians starved by Zionists’ grotesque restriction of aid to Gaza. As GSF explain: When a family member, waiting anxiously…

A dangerous and rapidly escalating outbreak of the skin disease scabies is again sweeping through Israeli occupation prisons. This is causing huge suffering to the many thousands of Palestinian political prisoners who, for the past few years, have intentionally had the worst conditions ever inflicted on them. Abdullah al-Zighari, head of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society, told the Canary: The Israeli occupation system is carrying out acts of retaliation against Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, by denying them the necessary medical care, posing a serious threat to their lives. “Intentional health catastrophe” and deliberate deprivation of treatment for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli…

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) and War on Want have issued letters to 15 Premier League clubs. They’re raising concerns about the clubs’ complicity in Israeli atrocities via their ties to companies linked to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and apartheid across the Occupied Palestinian Territories. These findings come from War on Want’s latest report: Red Card: English Premier League Sportswashing of Israel’s Atrocities against the Palestinians. ICJP has also supported the report. The report details the connections of at least 15 Premier League club sponsors to Israel’s devastating military assault and blockade on Gaza, construction of illegal settlements,…
