Christmas Is Not A Western Story; It Is A Palestinian One

December 24, 2025 Rev Dr Munther Isaac, Al Jazeera. , , ,
Every December, much of the Christian world enters a familiar cycle of celebration: carols, lights, decorated trees, consumer frenzy and the warm imagery of a snowy night. In the United States and Europe, public discourse often speaks of “Western Christian values”, or even the vague notion of “Judeo-Christian civilisation”. These phrases have become so common that many assume, almost automatically, that Christianity is inherently a Western religion — an expression of European culture, history and identity. It is not.

Venezuela Warns The World About US State-Sponsored Attacks And Piracy

December 24, 2025 Alba Ciudad, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , ,
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro sent a letter on Monday to the heads of state of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as to the 194 nations that make up the United Nations General Assembly. The document, read by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil from the Yellow House in Caracas, warns of an escalation of aggression by the US government that threatens to destabilize the security of the entire region and the international legal order. The letter’s central complaint focuses on the US military’s so-called “Operation Southern Spear,” a naval and air deployment that includes the presence of nuclear submarines off the coast of Venezuela, under the pretext of combating drug trafficking.

Anthony Aguilar Wins Sam Adams Award For Integrity

December 24, 2025 Sam Adams Associates For Integrity In Intelligence, Consortium News. , , , ,
We are honored to give this year’s award to Anthony Aguilar (LTC, USA, ret.) for exposing some of the more egregious brutalities of the genocide in Gaza, including the U.S. role. Asked why he has spoken out about what he witnessed — like the corralling of starving people into four distribution sites and sometimes shooting them indiscriminately. Aguilar explained, when “I hung up my uniform. I didn’t hang up my oath to the Constitution.” A 25-year Army Special Forces veteran, Aguilar agreed to work with the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” with the thought that “there is nothing more Christian than feeding the hungry.”

City of London Police detained the 22-year-old under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000 for displaying a placard backing the proscribed organization. Video footage captured by Prisoners for Palestine shows Thunberg holding a sign. It read: "I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide."

Global Sumud Flotilla Announces Launch Of Its Spring 2026 Mission

December 23, 2025 Global Sumud Flotilla. , , ,
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) announces the launch of its Spring 2026 mission, a historic escalation in civilian-led maritime action to break the illegal blockade of Gaza. Moving beyond previous aid delivery efforts, this mission represents a strategic shift toward a sustained civilian presence and the establishment of a replicable model grounded in international law and Palestinian leadership. A primary focus of the 2026 mission is the deployment of a specialized medical fleet. Carrying more than 1,000 healthcare professionals and stocked with life-saving medicines and equipment, this fleet aims to stabilize Gaza's healthcare system and support the efforts of local medical teams who have endured two years of genocide.

Denver Community Stops Expansion Of Deportation Flight Operation

December 23, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Denver, CO – Organizers in Denver are continuing the fight against local airline Key Lime Air, responsible for deportation flights. Over the last week, the campaign to stop Key Lime Air from operating deportation flights has expanded. Organizers from Aurora Unidos CSO, Immigrant Partnership Teams, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, and Casa de Paz gathered outside of the Denver City Council meeting on December 15. The city councilors were scheduled to vote on Key Lime Air’s presence at Denver International Airport. If passed, the bill would expand Key Lime Air’s contract with the airport by increasing its operating space there.

Bolivians Mobilize In Rejection Of Rodrigo Paz’s Fuel Price Hike

December 23, 2025 TeleSur English. , , ,
Members of the Bolivian Workers’ Central (COB), the country’s largest labor organization, mobilized this Monday in a national strike against Decree 5503 imposed by President Rodrigo Paz, which eliminated fuel subsidies after more than 20 years. In this regard, miners, coca growers, and some sectors affiliated with the COB gathered in La Ceja, El Alto, marched through the avenues of La Paz, and finally descended towards the seat of government. The mining leaders, represented in one sector by Alfredo Uño Villca, demanded the immediate annulment of the decree and the opening of genuine channels of dialogue with the central government.

Logging Blockade Brewing In Alberta’s Rocky Mountains

December 23, 2025 Drew Anderson, The Narwhal. , , ,
The woods surrounding the Highwood Pass, a mountain valley southwest of Calgary, are quiet. The traffic snarls of fall, which brought day trippers flocking to see larch trees pop yellow against the green hills, are gone. The road through the pass is closed until the spring. Gone too is a temporary camp and barrier across a logging road, set up to protest in advance of clear-cut operations in this popular corner of Kananaskis Country along the rocky spine of southwestern Alberta. At least for now. At first blush, it’s odd for protesters opposed to logging to leave the area before the logging starts, but that wasn’t really the point of the camp set up by a group called Defenders of the Eastern Slopes. 

Police Arrest And Assault Doctors Supporting Hunger Striker

December 22, 2025 Katherine Hearst, Middle East Eye. , , , ,
An NHS doctor says she was “strangled” by police officers at a protest outside a British prison demanding an ambulance for a critically ill Palestine Action-linked prisoner on hunger strike. Olivia Brandon, an Accident and Emergency doctor at a London hospital, told Middle East Eye that she was dragged by the hood of her coat by police, causing arterial compression and resulting in her losing consciousness. She also reported that another doctor, Ayo Moiett, who had been repeatedly demanding that Bronzefield prison call an ambulance for prisoner Qesser Zuhrah, was arrested by two police officers after he declined to attend a “voluntary interview” following allegations that he had assaulted a prison officer.

Chicago Budget Fight: Corporate Interests Clash With Working-Class

December 22, 2025 Gabriel Miller, Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Chicago, IL – Corporate-backed alderpersons pushed through an unbalanced budget to avoid taxing big businesses on Saturday, December 20, but conceded important measures after sustained pressure from working-class Chicagoans. The final budget package, championed by conservative council members, promises to sell to private debt collectors nearly $100 million debt from water bills, parking tickets and ambulance fees. It also increases liquor and gambling taxes and sells city spaces for advertising. These measures, which have been assessed as fiscally irresponsible by the city’s budget experts, are the last ditch effort by the group of oppositional alderpersons who have fought to avoid instituting a corporate head tax, in which the largest 3% of corporations would pay less than a thousandth of a percent of their profits based on the number of workers they employ.

Rail Workers Group Vows To Fight Proposed Rail Mega-Merger

December 22, 2025 Railroad Workers United. , , , ,
Today, Union Pacific (UP) and Norfolk Southern (NS) officially filed an application with the Surface Transportation Board (STB) requesting approval to combine the two railroads. Railroad Workers United (RWU) - a cross-craft group of North American railroad workers from all unions, crafts and carriers, promises an all-out fight to block the merger, and urges all rail workers, unions, community groups, shippers, passenger rail advocates and other stakeholders to resist what would be the largest rail merger in history. According to RWU Organizer and BMWED member from Ohio Matt Weaver, “There’s no way in hell that this acquisition will be good for anyone in Rail Labor, nor most shippers, nor the American people.”

VP Delcy RodrÍguez: US Must Pay Reparations For Stealing CITGO

December 21, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , , ,
At a massive rally in front of Venezuela’s national oil company PDVSA headquarters in La Campiña, Caracas, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez condemned the ongoing US aggressions against the country. In her speech on Friday, December 19, Rodríguez, who is also the minister of hydrocarbons, emphasized that Venezuela has a firm stance of dignity and resistance. She underscored that the country has no outstanding debts with the Trump administration. Rather, Washington owes the Venezuelan people compensation for stealing Venezuelan state assets.

CUNY Union Passes Resolution Condemning Military Aggression Against Venezuela

December 21, 2025 Left Voice. , , , , , , ,
On December 19, the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) delegate assembly voted to pass a resolution repudiating the U.S. military aggression against Venezuela. The resolution follows Trump’s announcement of an escalation of his offensive, introducing a “total blockade” on Venezuela. As we have written previously, “This blockade and continued military escalation is only going to impoverish and hurt the Venezuelan working class, who face not only an acute economic and social crisis due to imperialist sanctions and increasing military attacks, but also repression by the Maduro government.”

Embargo Movement Exposes Oakland Airport’s Role In Weapons Shipments To Israel

December 21, 2025 Lallan Schoenstein, Struggle - La Lucha. , , , , , ,
Unions and community organizations demonstrated at the Port of Oakland on Dec. 18 as part of an ongoing campaign to demand an embargo on the shipment of weapons to Israel from both the city’s sea port and air port (OAK). The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), in coordination with The People’s Embargo for Palestine (PEP), released a report titled “Exposing Oakland’s Military Cargo Shipments to Israel” last August. They were horrified to discover that Oakland, California, a city with a progressive history of solidarity with Palestine, had become one of the most frequent departure points for shipping F-35 bomber components to Israel.
