Two years into its war on Gaza, Israel faces global condemnation and a growing Palestinian solidarity movement. Yet, as analyst Mouin Rabbani explains, US support remains unwavering, and Israel shows little concern for the world’s outrage.
An interview with the anonymous owner of @LegitTayUpdates. She’s a nineteen-year-old Taylor Swift fan in Israel — and she just finished a two-month prison sentence for refusing to enlist in the Israel Defense Forces.
Horrific, genocidal atrocities are being carried out against Palestinians in Gaza right now. But Israeli historian Ilan Pappé explains that Palestinian Israelis also find themselves in an “apartheid state” inside Israel.
Rasmea Odeh is a dedicated community leader and Palestinian-American activist. No wonder the US government went after her.
European states have armed Israel through almost two years of genocide in Gaza. While the European Union’s trade deal with Israel is meant to be conditional on human rights, in practice EU leaders have turned a blind eye to its crimes.
Far-right Hungarian premier Viktor Orbán has claimed that his refusal to help Ukraine is a “pro-peace position.” Yet Hungary is also the only EU state that openly backs an Israeli attack on Rafah — showing the hypocrisy of Orbán’s supposed pacifism.
Western states would like to move on as if the Gaza genocide never happened, even though Israel is still terrorizing the Palestinian people. But the legal cases holding Israel and its leaders accountable are going ahead despite their best efforts.
Prior to Israel’s founding, the majority of European Jews rejected the idea of an ethnically Jewish nation. Instead they fought antisemitism by building solidarity.
Indian prime minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, the electoral arm of a Hindu nationalist movement, represents the largest and most organized far-right force on the planet. To understand its rise, we must look to India’s 20th-century history.
This summer, Oday Dabbagh became the first homegrown Palestinian footballer to play in Europe’s top leagues. His story is a symbol of Palestinian resistance to decades of Israel’s brutal occupation.
During the war in Iraq, the fight against South African apartheid, and the coup that brought down Salvador Allende, British unions showed their solidarity through boycotts, strikes, and protests. It’s time they do the same for workers trapped in Gaza.
Over the past five months, Israel has killed at least 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza, the vast majority women and children. It has also been deliberately destroying Gaza’s rich cultural heritage, from mosques and churches to libraries and children’s theaters.
In the last year and a half, thousands of left-wing American Jews have protested Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. They are taking part in a long tradition of anti-Zionist Jewish radicalism in the United States.
Israel’s war on Gaza has already resulted in a horrendous death toll, yet Western politicians still refuse to call for a cease-fire. We need mass popular pressure in the US and Europe against the killing and the threat of forced population transfer from Gaza.
In tsarist Russia and interwar Poland, the Jewish Bund developed a socialist alternative to Zionism while fighting against antisemitic oppression. The neglected international history of their movement is a vital resource for our own time.
