Israel

Rebranding Genocide

First, it was Israel’s right to defend itself. Then it was a war, even though, by Israel’s own military intelligence database, 83 percent of the casualties were civilians. The 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, living under an Israeli air, land and sea blockade, have no army, air force, no mechanized units, no tanks, no navy, no missiles, no heavy artillery, no fleets of killer drones, no sophisticated tracking systems to map all movements, or an ally like the United States, which has given Israel at least $21.7 billion in military aid since Oct. 7, 2023.

How Your Engagement Ring Helps Fund Genocide In Gaza

Did your engagement ring help fund a genocide in Gaza? Quite possibly. Despite possessing no mines of their own, Israel is a major player in the world’s diamond business, buying up minerals across Africa and selling them to the West, netting billions in the process. Diamonds are Israel’s most important export, and directly bankroll the country’s ongoing genocide against the people of Gaza. MintPress explores the dark world of Israeli blood diamonds. Any visitor walking through Tel Aviv’s exclusive Ramat Gan district will be struck by its wealth. Skyscrapers are everywhere, and expensive jewelry stores lines the streets.

Exploiting A Massacre To Cover Up A Genocide

The 15 innocent victims killed in Sunday’s terrorist attack on a Hanukkah party at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia are being exploited by extreme Zionists in a bid to distract from Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.   Their memories are being used by the likes of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli as well as Australian officials, sections of the media and members of the public. Instead of putting the blame on the only known perpetrators police have identified so far — the father and son shooters Sajid and Naveed Akram — Zionist extremists are implicating innocent citizens who have dared protest Israeli atrocities. 

Israeli ‘Predator’ Smartphone Spyware Exposed

New research published by Amnesty International exposes the disturbing internal workings of Intellexa, and its constellation of digital espionage products. This includes ‘Predator’, a highly invasive resource linked to grave human rights abuses in multiple countries. Intellexa’s menacing technology allows government customers to access target smartphones’ cameras, microphones, encrypted chat apps, emails, GPS locations, photos, files, browsing activity, and more. It’s just the latest example of an Israeli-linked spyware specialist acting with no consideration for the law – although one wouldn’t know that from Amnesty’s probe.

Israel’s Expanding ‘Yellow Line’ Swallows Gaza Districts

When Ahmed Hamed returned to his home in Gaza City after the ceasefire, it stood about 1.5km west of the so-called “Yellow Line” enforced by Israel. Two months on, that distance has shrunk to roughly 200 metres. “Before the war ended, our home was in a dangerous area, and it was difficult for us to return,” the 31-year-old Palestinian journalist told Middle East Eye. “We waited two weeks after the ceasefire to make sure it was safe.” Eventually, the family went back to their house near the Shujaiya neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City. Almost immediately, the sounds of war returned with them.

Stop The Hate UK: The Shadowy Israel-Aligned Group Targeting Mintpress

A prolific writer who has penned 28 pro-Israel articles in the past two months alone, Sawer asked the British Palestinian journalist to respond to pro-Israel pressure group Stop The Hate U.K.’s campaign for him to be prosecuted for “anti-Semitic hate crimes.” Abul-Essad’s “crime” was attending an October 2024 demonstration in London protesting an event featuring former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert speaking on the future of Gaza – a case that the Metropolitan Police have already looked into and dismissed. Sawer has previous connections to Stop The Hate U.K.

Inside The Israel Lobby’s Lesser-Known Tool For Influencing Congress

While AIPAC has attracted increased scrutiny for its influence on national elections, the Israel lobby also has another route to political influence: travel. Each year, private donors invite large contingents of American politicians on free tours of the Holy Land, making Israel the largest international destination for paid congressional travel.  Israel accounted for over a quarter of the international gift travel so far this year. House members and their staff accepted 156 invitations to Israel during the first nine months of 2025, significantly exceeding the 117 trips made in the entire previous year.

Elbit Systems At Center Of NATO Corruption Investigation

Israeli weapons giant Elbit Systems is at the center of a corruption investigation involving NATO’s procurement agency, according to a series of reports published by the French outlet La Lettre in collaboration with Belgian and Dutch partners. As part of this ongoing inquiry, contracts between the company and the war alliance, estimated in the millions of euros, have been frozen, the media organizations suggest. The outlets reported that internal NATO communications dated July 2025 listed 15 contracts as suspended after inquiries were launched against current and former employees of the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).

Inside Oakland’s Campaign To End Military Shipments To Israel

Talia Rose starts their shift at Oakland International Airport (OAK) at 3:00 a.m., unloading same-day packages from UPS planes. Across the tarmac, they watch FedEx planes come and go. “I never had any idea what the hell is on those planes besides big metal containers that carry packages,” Rose said. But that would change in August, when Rose attended a local organizing forum where a member of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) presented a soon-to-be-public report titled “Exposing Oakland’s Military Cargo Shipments to Israel.”

Michigan Retirement System Drops All Investments In Israel Bonds

For over a year, Michigan Divest, a statewide coalition of Michigan residents, human rights activists and active and retired public employees, led a campaign to divest Israel Bonds from public pensions. Thousands of Michigan taxpayers, including current and former public employees with pensions in the SMRS, and over 50 endorsing organizations, including labor unions representing public school and state pensioners, expressed disapproval at taxpayer funds being invested in a $10 million Israel Bond purchased less than one month into the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Israel’s Continued Defiance Of World Court And United Nations

The United States pushed its resolution on Gaza through the United Nations Security Council on Nov. 17, moving forward on President Donald Trump’s purported peace plan while disregarding Israel’s violations of the ceasefire and despite its rejection of Palestinian statehood, a quintessential element of the U.S. resolution. Contrary to the pronouncements of the International Court of Justice, successive resolutions of the U.N. Security Council and General Assembly and even Trump’s Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity, Israel is further entrenching its occupation in Gaza; exponentially expanding its illegal settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem; and publicly planning to annex significant parts of the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Go Tell It On The Mountain: Genocide Is Wrong

Israel and its partners continue to wage genocide against the Palestinian people. Those who, so far, have survived the hideous attacks since October 7, 2023, now face ongoing jeopardy. Hemmed in by yet another military border, over two million Palestinians in “East Gaza” live amid rubble, unexploded ordnance, decaying corpses, starvation conditions, and the uncertainties of inhabiting makeshift homes without sewage, sanitation, clean water, or protection against harsh winter weather. A saddening certainty was hammered home on November 17, 2025, when not a single country stood up for them at the United Nations.

Selling Out Australian Sovereignty

Exclusive reports by Declassified Australia of at least 71 packages of F-35 fighter jet weapons parts being exported from Sydney to Israel have revealed that Australia has forfeited control over the plane’s spare parts stored here for Australia’s fleet of F-35s. Australia has signed up to a system where, at a moment’s notice, those “parts and components” may be whisked off the shelves at the RAAF Williamtown Air Base in New South Wales on the whim of a foreign state to be exported to a foreign country in a distant war zone. “What you’re probably talking about is items that Lockheed Martin imported into Australia to support the maintenance and sustainment of our fleet and then needed to move around to someone else. They are entitled to do that under the F-35 global supply chain mechanism.”

Gazans Feel Little Relief From Israeli Strangulation Since Ceasefire

It’s been nearly two months since the ceasefire was reached in Gaza. Hopes were high among the 2 million Palestinians in the besieged Strip that not only would the Israeli bombings stop, but that everything they had been deprived of for the past two years – food, clean water, adequate medicine and healthcare – would flood into Gaza to ease their struggles. The hopes of regaining a fragment of the life they knew before the war, have dissipated, as the reality of a “new genocide” sets in. Though some aid has come into Gaza, and people have tried to restore some semblance of normalcy, the reality in Gaza is far from peacetime.

Public Broadcasters Quit Eurovision 2026 Over Participation Of Israel

At least four countries will withdraw from next year’s Eurovision Song Contest following a decision to allow Israel to compete. After a European Broadcasting Union (EBU) discussion in Switzerland this week, public broadcasters from Slovenia, Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands issued statements denouncing the failure to address concerns over Israel’s participation in the contest, while Palestine solidarity movements elsewhere in Europe are demanding from more broadcasters to follow suit. “For more than a year, we have been warning that we cannot stand on the same stage with a representative of a country that has committed genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza,” said Ksenija Horvat
