  UN inquiry verifies Israel’s systematic use of sexual, reproductive violence; silence no longer an option in  Palestine  by  Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor   14/03/2025 Geneva – Israel’s systematic sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians is widespread and amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to United Nations experts. Anew report released by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, also concludes that Israel has been responsible for acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 2023. The long-standing impunity enjoyed by Israel, which has enabled it to continue its systematiccrimes against Palestinians, must end immediately due to the seriousness of the report’s contents. In its report “‘More than a human c...

  UN reports nothing is entering Gaza, as Israel imposes total food and energy blockade in  Palestine   by  Andre Damon      11/03/2025 Displaced Palestinian girls fill a plastic jerrycan with water at a school run by UNRWA, the UN agency helping Palestinian refugees, which they use as a shelter, west of Gaza City on Sunday, March 9, 2025.  [AP Photo/Jehad Alshrafi] The Israeli government announced Sunday that it will completely shut off electricity into Gaza, following the blockade of all food and humanitarian supplies earlier this month. The total blockade is aimed at implementing the plan, first proposed by far-right members of the Israeli government and later publicly adopted by the Trump administration, to ethnically cleanse Gaza by making the enclave unlivable, forcing its people to flee “voluntarily” in order to avoid starving to death. When asked, “What does Israel’s government allow to get into Gaza so far?”, UN spokesperson Stéphane Duja...

  TELL CONGRESS:  Israel just blocked all humanitarian aid to Gaza as the ceasefire begins to fall apart. And Trump just announced yet ANOTHER weapons sale to the Netanyahu regime.  Sign the petition: Join Sen. Bernie Sanders and oppose Trump’s weapons sales to Israel! ADD YOUR NAME Israel has blocked all humanitarian aid to Gaza   as the ceasefire falls apart AND violence against Palestinians in the West Bank intensifies. 1 U.S. funding continues to support Israel’s violence in Gaza and the West Bank and punishment of civilians in need of food, water, and medical aid.

  Donald Trump just posted a horrific AI-generated video envisioning Gaza as an ethnically cleansed Trump-owned resort. 1 It's appalling, but not a surprise.  For weeks, Trump has been calling for the ethnic cleansing of 2 million Palestinians from Gaza, which has been absolutely devastated by Israel's brutal 16-month bombardment. 2 Now Trump announced yet another $8.5 billion weapons sale to Israel, including thousands of small-diameter and 500-pound bombs, and 3,000 Hellfire missiles. 3 The good news is that Congress has the power to stop this massive new arms sale, and Bernie Sanders has filed a series of resolutions of disapproval to do just that. 4  So we're working to flood Capitol Hill with phone calls supporting Bernie's effort to block this deal — but we need your help. Will you make a donation to support our work, including pushing to stop Trump's $8.5 billion arms sale to Israel? Since the start of the war on Gaza, Israel has killed at least 62,000 Palest...
