The announcement of a cease-fire deal in Gaza is a welcome reprieve after over a year of genocide. But it does nothing to remedy Israel’s numerous violations of international law that produced untold misery among Palestinians and led to the war in the first place.
The barbarities keep coming in Gaza. This week saw a massacre in Gaza City of at least 60 people, mostly children and women, many of them burned alive — followed by a massacre of over 100 in a “humanitarian safe zone.”
Israel’s current genocide in Gaza and recently announced plans to occupy Gaza City are both part of a long and tortured history of Israeli military occupations of the tiny strip.
Gaza’s destruction was a political act. Jacobin spoke to Palestinian refugees about the vibrant, beautiful Gaza they remember and how Israel brought their homeland to ruin.
Israel controls every aspect of life in Gaza, but takes no responsibility for the brutal consequences.
Even before Hamas’s attack on October 7, the Israeli state knew it couldn’t subject Gaza to an unlivable siege forever. Now Israel’s rage has turned huge swathes of the densely populated territory into a howling wasteland.
How much longer will we watch Israel starve children to death and massacre civilians seeking food before American political leaders put a stop to this madness?
French historian Jean-Pierre Filiu has visited Gaza many times — but he had to make his most recent visit in December in secret. Defying Israel’s attempt to control reporting, his latest book is a devastating account of the destruction of Gazan society.
For six months, Israel has been deliberately killing civilians in Gaza and destroying infrastructure to make the area uninhabitable. Israeli academic Lee Mordechai summarizes the horrific results of an operation that is wholly immoral and criminal.
A seven-month-old child, Fayez Abu Ataya, starved to death yesterday in central Gaza. He lived his entire brief life under Israeli siege. How many more Palestinian children must die?
Continuing the relentless assault on civilians in Gaza, Israeli troops killed more than 100 starving Palestinians waiting for flour from aid trucks yesterday. Emboldened by US complicity, Israel persists in acting with impunity in Gaza.
What does it say about the state of Israel and its backers that it can get away with repeated attacks on aid shipments to Palestinian civilians?
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.
Israel has no legal right to use any kind of force in Gaza — under any circumstances.
Gaza is a nightmare of Israel's creation, with thousands of civilians killed, children buried under rubble, and food, water, and medicine rapidly disappearing. Yet Joe Biden still refuses to call for a cease-fire to halt this calamitous war.
Israel’s war in Gaza combines a staggeringly high death rate, shocking violence toward children, unparalleled physical destruction, and now a world-historical famine. The world has, by objective measure, never seen anything like this.
Brazilian president Lula forcefully condemned Israel’s brutal war on Gaza on Sunday before expelling Israel’s ambassador to Brazil on Monday. These actions are part of his decades-long commitment to standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Israel’s brutal attack on Gaza has already killed over 24,000 Palestinians. But the environmental effects of the war — from pollution of groundwater and soil to destruction of Gaza’s olive trees — will have devastating impacts long after the bombing stops.
Entire Palestinian families massacred. Children slaughtered. Threats of a “second Nakba.” Israel’s war on Gaza isn’t a war on Hamas — it’s a war on Palestinian civilians.
Carpet-bombing entire residential blocks, wiping out entire neighborhoods, slaughtering at least 100. It’s another weekend of Israel’s impunity in killing Gazans, this time in Beit Lahiya in the north.
