Israel continues to ethnically cleanse northern Gaza by forcibly displacing people from Beit Lahiya. Thousands of people have fled after Israel attacked schools where displaced Palestinians were sheltering.
Israel’s assault on northern Gaza started two months ago and has been one of the most brutal since the start of the genocide. Since then, almost no humanitarian aid, including food, medicine, and fuel, has been allowed into the north.

Happy birthday to the Italian anarchist socialist theorist and militant revolutionary Errico Malatesta! He was described by friends and foes alike as the greatest Italian revolutionary of his generation.
Malatesta led an armed insurrection with about 30 comrades in the province of Benevento, capturing two villages from the ruling monarchy in southern Italy. Due to the quick arrival of troops, the uprising was soon crushed.
Malatesta was imprisoned for 16 months before being released into exile, living in Switzerland, France, Romania, England, Argentina, the US, the Netherlands, and finally Egypt, where he organized a group of fighters to oppose the British during the Anglo-Egyptian War in 1882.
A blossoming anarchist movement in Italy and a collapsing government lured Malatesta back to his homeland in 1898, where he was soon arrested following clashes. He spent his last years working as an electrician and passed away in 1932, suffering from bronchial pneumonia.

Today, we remember the late Fred Hampton, a legendary figure in the Black Panther Party and a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist, who was assassinated by the FBI on this day in 1969.
Born in Chicago in 1948, Hampton served as the Black Panther Party’s deputy chairman and the Illinois chapter’s chair. His contributions as a prominent anti-racist figure and his commitment to multicultural organizing left a lasting impact.
Recognizing fascism as a significant threat to humanity, Hampton emphasized the critical importance of preventing its rise, believing that its impact would extend to everyone. Identified as a threat by the FBI, Hampton faced attempts to undermine his influence through the placement of spies within the Black Panthers.
Tragically, in December 1969, he was murdered in cold blood by police who were assisting the FBI during a pre-dawn raid, with 100 gunshots fired into his apartment.

A China Coast Guard vessel fired a water cannon and “sideswiped” a Philippine government vessel during a patrol in disputed South China Sea waters. Tensions between the two nations continue to escalate over territorial claims in what the Philippines calls the West Philippine Sea.
Last month, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed two laws defining the country’s maritime boundaries and imposing fixed navigation lanes for foreign vessels, prompting China to summon the Philippine ambassador in protest.
Relations further deteriorated when the Philippines and its closest ally, the US, signed a security agreement allowing both countries to share classified information. The deal intensifies inter-imperialist competition between the US and China over influence in the region.

Belgium’s court of appeal found five Congolese women, now in their 70s, to be victims of “systematic kidnapping.” As children, they were forcibly taken from their mothers and sent to Catholic institutions because they were of mixed race.
Initially, the Belgian state argued that their forced removal was not considered a crime under colonial-era laws. The court of appeal rejected these claims, citing Belgium’s signing of the Nuremberg tribunal statutes. The court ordered the state to pay each woman €50,000 in damages and ordered the state to pay over €1 million in legal fees.
Thousands of children were subjected to forced removal and segregation under Belgium’s colonial policies across its former colonies in the Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi.

Police murdered 15-year-old student Alexis Grigoropoulos in cold blood in the center of Athens, Greece, on this day in 2008. The murder of Grigoropoulos led to widespread outrage, sparking an unprecedented wave of protests that rocked the country for weeks as students organized riots and occupied schools and universities across Greece. 16 years later, justice has still not been served.
Police initially attempted to give a false account of the murder. Grigoropoulos’ murderer, police officer Epaminondas Korkoneas, walked free after his initial life sentence had been reduced despite being found guilty. He only spent 11 years in prison.
Meanwhile, one of Grigoropoulos’ best friends, the young anarchist Nikos Romanos, who was with Grigoropoulos on the night of his murder, was arrested under false pretexts five years later. Having suffered abuse at the hands of the police, Romanos led a hunger strike in 2014. The jailed anarchist was freed in 2019.

The Syrian government accused the US of providing air support to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Pentagon also said its airstrikes constituted “self-defense,” even though occupying forces do not have the right to self-defense according to international law.
