How many times must Gaza be rebuilt, to be bombed again?

Smoke rises after an Israeli bombing run over the Ansar Government Complex building in Gaza City, Gaza on May 14, 2021 [Ali Jadallah / Anadolu Agency] Anjuman Rahman Israel is infamous for bombing the innocent in the Gaza Strip. During Israel's latest three-day military offensive against the besieged enclave on 5 August, 49 people, including 17 children and four women were killed. Israeli air and artillery strikes also struck various targets across Gaza that it claimed belonged to Islamic Jihad, destroying refugee camps and more than 1,500 housing units, displacing approximately 450 Palestinians from homes that were completely damaged. Dubbed "Operation Breaking Dawn", Qatar Red Crescent Society has since launched a "Devotion to Gaza" campaign to collect $2.7m to help ...

Nazi’s new rules for visitors to the occupied West Bank reveal an oppressive regime

Israel's new rules for visitors to the occupied West Bank reveal an oppressive regime Palestinians and foreigners take part in a demonstration against Israel's controversial Israeli barrier in the West Bank village of Bilin near Ramallah on November 27, 2009 [AHMAD GHARABLI/AFP via Getty Images] Motasem A Dalloul The Israeli occupation authorities are set to impose new rules next week on Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank, and foreign citizens who wish to visit the territory; the rules violate the basic human right to privacy. This is defined by jurists as the right to have personal information protected from public scrutiny. This right is recognised internationally and applies to everyone, apart from Palestinians and those wishing to go to the occupied West Bank. ...

Attack on anti-Zionist Jewish leader exposes scale of UK Labour’s anti-Palestine problem

A Labour Party logo during the Labour Party conference in Brighton, UK on September 29, 2021 [Hollie Adams/Bloomberg/Getty Images] Nasim Ahmed The scale of Labour's anti-Palestine problem under the leadership of Keir Starmer was laid bare yesterday following the election of Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi to the party's National Executive Committee (NEC). Wimborne-Idrissi, who is a co-founder of Jewish Voice for Labour (JVL) – the main grouping of left-wing Jews in the Labour party, known for their highly critical stance on Israel – was one of several prominent Jewish members previously suspended over her criticism of the suspension of other left-wing party members during the height of the anti-Semitism row within the party. Wimborne-Idrissi was one of nine constituency Labour Party (...

The road to fascism: How the war in Ukraine is changing Europe

A general view of the European Commission weekly College Meeting at the EU headquarters in Brussels, Belgium on March 02, 2022 [EU Comission / Pool - Anadolu Agency] Dr Ramzy Baroud As soon as I landed in Rome, I discovered that I was no longer able to access any Russian media whatsoever. Unfortunately, threats by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that Europe should sever all links with "Russia's propaganda machine" were taken seriously by the Italian government. As a journalist, having access to only one side of the Russia-Ukraine war story was a major predicament. How can one develop a rounded view of such a complex issue when only a one-sided narrative of the war is allowed to be propagated? Of course, the problem is widespread and has afflict...

Racist Nazi regime exaggerates the ‘threat’ of Palestinian population growth

Racist Israel exaggerates the 'threat' of Palestinian population growth Palestinian students attend class on the first day of the new school year at a UN-run school in the West Bank Balata refugee camp, on August 24, 2015 [JAAFAR ASHTIYEH/AFP via Getty Images] Dr Adnan Abu Amer Racist Israel continues to promote the perceived threat of Palestinian population growth, the so-called "demographic time bomb". Every time this issue comes up, Professor Arnon Soffer — the "Arab counter" — is called upon to comment. Soffer incites against the Palestinians and exaggerates the threat that they pose through their natural population growth. He keeps making comparisons between the Palestinian population in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, Jerusalem and the 1948-occupied territory — Israel — ...

Should we be worried by the possibility of a Shia civil war in Iraq?

Supporters of Iraqi Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr chant slogans as they gather outside the local government headquarters in the city of Nasiriyah in Iraq's southern Dhi Qar province on August 29, 2022 [ASAAD NIAZI/AFP via Getty Images] Raed Ahmed There is usually a lot of competition between near-equal armed groups in Iraq. Resisting the 2003 US-led invasion provided a good opportunity for emerging groups from Sunni and Shia communities across the country to do just that. Such groups became the main protagonists in the bloody civil war, which declined after 2008 when the Sunnis resisted Al-Qaeda's presence. Thereafter, the main armed groups were Shia, but the withdrawal of US forces in 2010 politicised them, and they started to engage more in politics. Shia militias gained offic...

Saudi Zio-Wahhabi releases Shia minor

Saudi Arabia releases Shia minor after commuting his death sentence The Saudi Arabia national flag on October 5, 2018 [Chris McGrath/Getty Images] Saudi Arabia yesterday freed Dawoud Al-Marhoon who had previously been sentenced to death for protesting while he was a minor. Al-Marhoon was 17 when he was detained in 2012 during anti-government protests by the kingdom's Shia Muslim minority. In 2015, he and two other minors, Ali Al-Nimr and Abdullah Al-Zaher, were handed death sentences, but these were commuted in February 2021 to ten years in prison after King Salman said the kingdom will no longer impose the death penalty on people who committed crimes as minors.

Saudi Zio-Wahhabi regime snitching app turns citizens into social media police

Saudi snitching app turns citizens into social media police Thomson Reuters Foundation Social media platforms in Ankara, Turkiye on February 09, 2022. [Mehmet Ali Özcan - Anadolu Agency] A Saudi app that lets ordinary people "play the role of a police officer" may have alerted authorities to the tweets of a student whose sentencing to 34 years in jail has drawn international condemnation. Just weeks after the verdict against Salma Al-Shehab – a doctoral candidate at Britain's Leeds University – rights groups say another woman was given a 45-year sentence for her social media posts – highlighting a crackdown targeting women online. Nourah bint Saeed Al-Qahtani was convicted of "using the internet to tear the (Saudi) social fabric", according to D...

WATCH: UN Security Council on Ukraine

The U.S. has called for a U.N. Security Council meeting on Monday at 10 am in order for Russia to “explain itself” over U.S. allegations that Moscow will “imminently” invade Ukraine, a charge even Kiev has denied. Watch it here. By Joe LauriaSpecial to Consortium News The United States has called for a 10 am EST meeting Monday of the U.N. Security Council in New York in order for Russia to “explain itself” over what the U.S. says is Russia’s imminent plans to “invade” Ukraine. One problem for the U.S. is that even the Ukrainian government doesn’t believe Russia is ready to invade.  “Our voices are unified in calling for the Russians to explain themselves,” Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said on ABC’s This Week on Sunday. “We’re going into the room prep...
