Zionist Israel just assassinated Gaza’s police chief in yet another war crime

On 13 August, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) assassinated Gaza Governorate’s civil police chief, 43-year-old Jamal Mahmoud Abu Kamil. His vehicle was targeted by a drone, which fired three missiles, while travelling on al-Rashid Street, southwest of Gaza City. Two other Palestinians were reportedly wounded in the strike. ‘Israel’ uses accusations of Hamas membership yet again as excuse for assassination ‘Israel’ has claimed, with no evidence as usual, that Kamil was a 7 October Hamas commander. In a social media post, the IOF said: the terrorist was eliminated from the air to remove the threat. Gaza’s Interior Ministry confirmed the killing, saying…

NATO commander confirms crucial role of Ireland in murderous US war machine

NATO military chief, general Alexus Grynkewich, has spoken of how Ireland’s Shannon airport is crucial in allowing the US military to “project power” globally. In other words, Ireland is a critical cog in a war machine that has delivered genocidal violence this century, particularly to the people of West Asia. Grynkewich is also commander of US European Command. He was speaking to RTÉ, telling them Shannon functions as a “very important logistics hub”. He continued: It allows America to project power and keep threats at bay from all over the world. I think there are some significant security implications to losing…

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…

Desperate troops try jumping from USS Abraham Lincoln to escape Iran war hell

US troops deployed in the illegal US-Zionist war on Iran are reckoning with the consequences of their life choices. Navy soldiers are reportedly undergoing a “mental health crisis at sea” as the war drags on. This has resulted in reports of multiple troops attempting to jump overboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Hell on the USS Abraham Lincoln Family members of “sailors” aboard USS Abraham Lincoln are “sounding the alarm” after multiple soldiers attempted to go overboard. Media call it an “unusually prolonged deployment” to the Middle East. The conservative, Zionist-owned New York Sun calls the events evidence of a “mental health crisis“.…

Gold and the global power games fuelling Mali’s escalating civil war

Gold production and global power struggles are fuelling a brutal and escalating conflict in Mali, one of Africa’s biggest countries. With the UK being a key player in the global gold trade, what role do we have to play? The battle to trade other people’s gold London has a central position in the global gold trade, despite producing almost no gold itself. The Bank of England, for example, boasts that it’s: the second-largest custodian of gold in the world This is part of the lingering financial power that justifies the US empire keeping the UK on as a junior partner. Gold…

“We never know if we will return safely”: West Bank students speak out against the war on education

Students in the West Bank have become “desensitised” to what Israeli occupation forces have made routine: checkpoints, incursions, intimidation and violence. But what they endure is far from normal. It’s a systematic campaign of disruption and dismantlement. Shams, a 24-year-old journalism and media graduate from Birzeit University, says fear is woven into their everyday life. They tell the Canary: Whenever we leave our homes in the morning, we never know if we will return safely. Death is always close to us. Now young people are dying before the older ones. The journey is extremely difficult. Settler violence and military checkpoints constantly…

Fresh call for Europe to back climate action rather than war

A new report by Allianz SE says that the pressing issue of climate breakdown could be set to cost Europe €800 billion by 2030 — nearly the same as a pot of money for defence. Allianz is a criminal company investing massively in the genocide economy of so-called ‘Israel’. However, the insurer’s climate analysis has been backed by experts such as Patrick Bresnihan, associate professor at the geography department of Ireland’s Maynooth University. Writing for the Irish Times, Bresnihan called for: …nothing less than the wholesale remaking of our infrastructure, built environments and economic systems. Climate breakdown set to cost Europe €800…

From Qalandiya to Jenin, Israel’s war on West Bank refugee camps

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have ended their raid on Qalandiya Refugee Camp and neighbouring Kafr Aqab, north of occupied East Jerusalem. This followed a dawn assault on 5 August that saw roads blocked and residents placed under strict curfew. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) reported that more than 60 Palestinians had been arrested and interrogated by 12pm local time on 6 August. Those detained included women and children. Israeli occupation forces continued their raid on Qalandiya refugee camp for the second day, demolishing shops, raiding homes, and blocking roads. The Palestine Red Crescent said 10 Palestinians were injured, while its crews…

The culture war comes for Nolan’s The Odyssey

The culture war comes for Nolan’s The Odyssey

The furore surrounding the film the Odyssey exposes, again, how right-wing media discourse, tinged with overt racism, can be weaponised to fuel culture wars. Furthermore, it is used to score political points. Amid the cacophony of praise surrounding Christopher Nolan’s Hollywood retelling of the Homer epic, it’s easy to forget that the controversy erupted long before its release. Not long after casting was made public, Nolan’s film was drawn into a wider right-wing cultural war battleground. The official trailer received the highest number of dislikes of any Nolan release. Even Elon Musk jumped on the bandwagon, bringing his familiar inflammatory culture-war…

WATCH: Trump admits US war on ICC is to protect Netanyahu

Donald Trump has admitted that the US’ attempt to destroy the International Criminal Court (ICC) is about protecting wanted Israel’s Prime Minister and wanted war criminal, Benjamin ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu. Trump makes admission at press conference Trump’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio first tried to spin a tale about US sovereignty and a supposedly arrogant court. But Trump blew his confection out of the water in one sentence, as journalist Ahmed Eldin spotted. At a White House press conference on Friday (31 July), the US president said that they’re not “after me”, but that it was about “protecting Bibi”. Like pretty much…

Everything’s a target: Israel’s war on reproductive health in Gaza

The destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system has placed reproductive health under unprecedented threat. Israel has decimated hospitals and healthcare infrastructure, and restricted access to reproductive and maternal care. This has left Palestinian women without the support they need to sustain life. The war on reproductive health has been allowed to continue under the farcical “ceasefire” announced in October 2025. Meanwhile, women have nowhere to turn. Reproductive violence Pregnant women are moving between overcrowded shelters, sleeping in tents, or damaged buildings. Nothing is guaranteed, not even their next meal or when they may go into labour, and epidurals are largely unavailable. Ultimately,…

Wes Streeting said Israel was committing war crimes. What now?

Andy Burnham’s new defence secretary is now responsible for the military treaty with a country he believes exhibits “rogue state behaviour” Late last July, as a famine unfolded in Gaza and Israeli settler attacks intensified in the West Bank, Wes Streeting texted a friend shortly before midnight. “Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes,” the then health secretary told Peter Mandelson over WhatsApp.“Their government talks the languages of ethnic cleansing and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children.”In messages that Streeting released earlier…

Trump’s Iran war plunges the Global South into a state of siege

In a scathing new report, the International Development Economics Associates Limited (IDEAs) has documented the heavy toll Global South continues to pay for a war it did not create — as corporations cash in. The report describes a state of siege across the Global South region, with countries facing mounting economic pressure as the fallout from the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran spreads. Global South picks up the tab The report stated that operations of Epic Fury waged by the US, and Roaring Lion waged by the colonial-settler state Israel have led to substantial hardship for countries throughout the global…

Interestingly, the outlets ganging up on Reform include the Daily Mail and Rupert Murdoch’s the Times: Pleased as I am to see the Murdoch and Rothermere press attacking Farage as stridently as they previously lavished praise on him, I can't help wondering what has brought on the recent U-turn — David__Osland (@David__Osland) July 13, 2026 Reform: right-on-right violence The broader strokes of what these outlets are reporting on are things independent journalists began covering years ago.

The Green Party tells the Canary that Labour’s “contempt for Greater Manchester residents” is on full display as the mayoral election looms soon. The party slams Labour for failing to yet deliver a costed manifesto, saying that Greater Manchester voters need to know what they are voting for. It’s now just over two weeks until Greater Manchester goes to the polls on 30 July. Postal votes are already landing on doorsteps for the single most significant ongoing election in English politics outside of Westminster.

The Capitulation Treaty: How the Lebanese Regime Shielded Israeli War Crimes

If the Lebanese state refuses to stand as a shield for its own people, who will hold the Israeli war machine accountable for its savage campaign of devastation? Israel’s unchecked brutality The numbers released by the Lebanese Ministry of Health paint a horrifying picture of unchecked brutality: more than 4,000 human lives extinguished; over 12,000 individuals maimed and wounded; an entire nation subjected to calculated terror. This is not mere collateral damage; it is a systematic logbook of unpunished war crimes. From the deliberate obliteration of entire villages and the engineering of mass human displacement to the calculated targeting of journalists,…

China has saved the global oil market amid Trump’s war on Iran

A prominent oil analyst has claimed that China’s dramatic reduction in crude oil imports since the US/Israel war of choice on Iran helped prevent a full-blown global energy shock. Real demand for oil plateauing in China In an interview with German DW, oil analyst Rory Johnston said: Chinese crude oil imports fell by roughly 40- 45%, roughly 5 million barrels a day from pre-war levels to the levels we saw average through June. That is gargantuan. That is a larger shift than the entirety of the world’s SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserves) releases combined. According to Reuters, since the unprovoked war on…

Matt Kennard explains how the ‘War on Terror’ put the far right in charge

Journalist Matt Kennard’s book Irregular Army shows how the ‘War on Terror’ pushed the US further into authoritarian extremism. And following the release of a new expanded and revised edition, we spoke to him to find out why the book remains so relevant today. War atrocities, neo-Nazis, and Trump The Declassified UK co-founder told the Canary that: The War on Terror militarised American political life. It taught the public to accept permanent emergency, surveillance, secrecy, executive violence, and the idea that whole populations could be treated as enemies. That logic did not stay in Fallujah or Kandahar; it came home. The…

Stop the War slams media platforming generals and arms companies

Keir Starmer announced his defence investment plan (DIP) today and while the media is welcoming it with open arms (pun intended), the Stop the War (StW) Coalition has rightly called out the BS. The FT said the increase in defence spending of approximately £15 billion was recently raised by £1 billion in the wake of John Healey’s resignation as defence secretary this month. It has apparently been signed off by Starmer’s expected successor, Andy Burnham. Stop the War: ‘Never mind the cost of living crisis…’ Stop the War (StW) Coalition posted on X that generals and arms companies have been all…
