[snip] To begin CNN This Morning's discussion of the anti-ICE riots, host Audie Cornish called on Karen Attiah, the creator and leader of the Resistance Summer School. As per its website, the school is: A "structure for radical learning . . . Students will explore how colonial legacies and racial hierarchies shape global politics, diplomacy, conflict, and coverage —and how media systems often reinforce (or resist) these power structures." Take a look below at the school's insignia featuring a clenched fist, a traditional socialist symbol. And it adopts as its motto, "A Luta Continua" [The Struggle Continues.] That was the...

Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president, has called for Hamas to “hand over its weapons,” immediately free all hostages and cease ruling Gaza, the French presidency said on Tuesday after receiving a letter from him. The letter was addressed to President Emmanuel Macron of France and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, who will jointly chair a U.N. conference in New York next week to explore the creation of a Palestinian state. Mr. Macron has set a number of conditions for the possible French recognition of such a state at that meeting, including the disarmament of Hamas. “Hamas...

Major media is acting hand in glove with Hamas to broadcast fake Gaza atrocity stories and enflame antisemitism. Immediately following the Hamas atrocities in Israel on October 7, key media outlets played a significant role in fomenting antisemitism, bruiting blood libels against Israel and those who support her. Last week, the same week Jews were firebombed in Boulder, Colorado, some publications seem to have by design or bias aided Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. Background There is no “genocide” in Gaza. “Gaza genocide” is a lie, and the people spreading that lie are partially responsible for the crimes these three...

The United States on Wednesday vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza because it was not linked to the release of hostages.

Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and other activists will set sail Sunday for Gaza on a humanitarian ship aimed at protesting Israel's war on the territory, a French-Palestinian lawmaker said. The trip is organised by the Freedom Flotilla, a coalition of groups opposed to the blockade on humanitarian aid for Gaza that Israel imposed on March 2 and has only recently begun lifting. Rima Hassan, a European Parliament member also taking part in the trip, said the operation had "several aims: to condemn the humanitarian blockade and ongoing genocide, the impunity granted to the state of Israel and raise international awareness."...

Sami Abu Zuhri, head of Hamas Political Department Abroad, said in a March 30, 2025 interview with Al-Tanasuh TV (Libya) that the story of Gaza is far bigger than the number of martyrs or the destruction of homes.

Hamas is calling on Gaza residents not to accept food from the new Israeli aid mechanism that began operating today. Hamas’s Interior Ministry warns Gaza residents against cooperating with the new Israeli food distribution mechanism, claiming its purpose is “the occupation’s takeover of aid distribution in the Strip.” The Hamas ministry adds: Israel is funding the mechanism through the “Gaza” aid fund and is violating international law by operating it. Gazans have the right to receive aid at their place of residence under international law. Cooperating with the occupation’s mechanism threatens the work of international organizations. If the mechanism fails,...

A former diplomat from the Biden administration is raising serious concerns about a slogan widely used in pro-Palestinian demonstrations, stating there is “no question” that “Free Palestine” is often a call for violence. Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt’s remarks challenge the narrative pushed by many on the left that the phrase is purely symbolic or peaceful. “I think there’s no question, whatever its initial intent and whatever people were saying initially or meant it, it has become a call for violence, and not violence against Israelis, which is wrong, but violence against Jews," Lipstadt told CNN's "Inside Politics" host Dana Bash. Her...

May 19, 2025:The somber face of Caitríona Perry reporting on Netanyahu getting basic aid trucks into Gaza. Caitríona Perry is current anchor of BBC America. Just like typical BBC bigoted propaganda "journalists" only so happy if and when they can bombard Israelophobia. They, constantly, stream genocidal Hamas provided or/and controlled footage - to shock. Amazingly they can't show adult terrorists being eliminated. Adults - the key. And of course they wouldn't mention cruel Palestine Hamas using = robbing aid as a controlling power.
