OBITUARY- Ismail Haniyeh (1963-2024)

Posted by: John Phoenix On 31 July 2024 Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, was murdered, along with one of his bodyguards, by Israel by means of a 2 a.m. “airborne guided projectile” strike on a special residence for military veterans in the north of Tehran where he was staying during the inauguration of Iran’s President Pezeshkian.  Haniyeh’s whole life had been dedicated to the struggle of the Palestinian people against the injustice of having their land stolen from them, robbing the vast majority of them also from the life opportunities that they might otherwise have expected to have had. He himself was a son of Palestinians driven out from their home in the coastal city of Ashkelon, in what is now Israel, during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948.  He was born 1...

Gaza – What ceasefire?

Posted b: John Phoenix The ceasefire in Gaza, which took effect on 10 October, has by no means had the effect of ceasing the firing, the bombing, or any other of the war crimes perpetrated by Israel on the Middle East.  There has been some alleviation but certainly not a cessation. As at Christmas eve, Israel had violated the ceasefire at least 875 times (including 421 bombing raids), killing over 400 more people – men, women, and innocent little children – and injuring over 1,100. In the 76 days between 10 October and Christmas eve, there were only 11 days free of Israeli violations. Israel and its US imperialist backers have sought to ‘justify’ some of these violations as reprisals for Hamas killing of Israeli soldiers, action that is credibly denied by that organisat...
