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.

Israeli Army Expands Outposts In Gaza; Laying Groundwork For Permanent Occupation

December 22, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The Israeli military is preparing to establish a permanent presence inside the Gaza Strip, new satellite imagery released by Forensic Architecture has confirmed. According to Forensic Architecture’s research, Israel is consolidating control over 50 percent of the strip – continuously demolishing civilian infrastructure to make room for new outposts. Since the ceasefire, the Israeli army has built at least 13 new outposts – mainly east of the so-called “Yellow Line,” the perimeter to which Tel Aviv withdrew its forces as part of the agreement.

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.

Campaign Launches To Secure The Release Of Dr Hossam Abu Safiya

December 20, 2025 Middle East Monitor. , , ,
The Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB) has announced the launch of a new solidarity campaign calling for the release of Dr Hossam Abu Safiya and all Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli occupation prisons. The campaign will take the form of a calm, symbolic action titled the “Red Ribbons Campaign”, to be held on Saturday 20 December at Oxford Circus in central London, at 1:00 pm. The Forum explained that the event is neither a demonstration nor a protest march, but a silent, peaceful act of solidarity. Participants will hang red ribbons and display specially designed posters carrying clear demands for freedom and justice, conveying a humanitarian message to British and international public opinion about the suffering of Palestinian prisoners.

Doctors Warn Lives Of Palestine Action Hunger Strikers ‘At Risk’

December 19, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
Medical professionals in the UK have warned that eight Palestine Action activists held in British prisons are at "imminent risk of death," with concerns raised publicly during a press conference in south London on 18 December. Emergency physician and University College London lecturer Dr. James Smith said the detainees’ condition has sharply deteriorated and told reporters that “the hunger strikers are dying." Smith said accounts from inside the prison system point to “substandard monitoring and treatment." “It is my view, as an NHS doctor, that the complexity of the hunger strikers’ care needs must now be managed with regular specialist input if not continuous monitoring in hospital,” he said.

Elbit Factory Shut Down For A Second Time In Two Weeks

December 19, 2025 The Canary. , , , , ,
A group of protesters have shut down the entrance to a factory belonging to Elbit Systems. The halt of Israel’s weapons supplier is one of the key demands of the anti-genocide activists. Eight prisoners, all being held on remand for allegedly taking action in solidarity with Palestine, have been on open ended hunger strike since the 2 November in British prisons. This is the biggest coordinated prison hunger strike in UK prisons since the 1981 H-block strike in the North of Ireland. Six of the hunger strikers have been hospitalised so far. Despite the enormity of the strike, the media coverage has been minimal, and the government fails to respond.

Holiday Shoppers Are Flexing Political Power Through Boycotts

For 38 weeks straight, racial justice protesters have been gathering outside a Target in Washington, D.C. to call out the company for suspending its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts, aligning itself with the Trump administration’s attacks on DEI. To put additional pressure on the company, those advocates have been calling for “Target fasts,” in which people completely abstain from purchasing anything from Target. The boycott began in February, following Target’s suspension of DEI efforts, and was initiated by Until Freedom, a nonprofit organization dedicated to community activism and rapid response.

Rebranding Genocide

December 16, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
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 Corporate Platforms Are Suppressing Artists Who Dissent

December 15, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , , ,
David Rovics is an activist musician who composes songs that educate about historical events, provide political analysis about current events, and raise up people from social movements. His solidarity with Palestinian liberation is deep, spanning his entire musical career. Recently, his entire 50-album catalog on YouTube Music was deleted. Clearing the FOG speaks with Rovics about the retaliation he has faced, some of his recent songs, how platforms like Spotify and YouTube are impacting the music industry, his artificial intelligence band, Ai Tsuno, and calls to boycott Spotify.

Israel’s Expanding ‘Yellow Line’ Swallows Gaza Districts

December 13, 2025 Maha Hussaini, Middle East Eye. , , , , , ,
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.

Chris Hedges Report: The Encampments

December 12, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , , , , ,
The ongoing genocide in Gaza has become a litmus test of institutional integrity. When a university denies the reality of Israel’s brutality, it reveals complicity with the genocidal regime’s actions. To then misrepresent campus dissent over institutional investment in the Zionist entity as illegitimate — or even “antisemitic” — makes it clear that that these institutions are invested in the existence of Israeli apartheid and genocide.

Palestine Activists Conducting Historic Hunger Strike Need Our Solidarity

December 12, 2025 E. S. Wight, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Seven people, all being held on remand pending trial for allegedly taking action in solidarity with Palestine, are on hunger strike in British prisons. Their names are Qesser Zuhrah, Amu Gib, Heba Muraisi, Jon Cink, T Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, and Muhammad Umer Khalid. An eighth prisoner, Lewie Chiaramello, who is diabetic, is also on a partial hunger strike, refusing food every other day at serious risk to his health. Today marks Day 40 without food for Qesser and Amu, who began the strike on November 2, the 108th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.

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

December 11, 2025 Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , ,
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.

YouTube And Big Tech Censorship Threatens Global Accountability

December 11, 2025 Majd Jawad, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
In a stark escalation undermining global efforts to preserve accountability for Israeli violations, Palestinian civil society organizations have been hit by an unprecedented campaign to erase their digital archives and silence their documentation work. What began as a U.S. political decision has now translated into sweeping and coordinated digital censorship, threatening decades of human rights documentation that formed the backbone of Palestinian legal submissions to international courts. For years, Palestinian human rights groups have meticulously collected evidence of Israeli abuses, from targeted killings and home demolitions to torture and violations against detainees.

Israel’s Continued Defiance Of World Court And United Nations

December 8, 2025 Mona Ali Khalil, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
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.
