Violent protests have rocked the small Gulf state of Bahrain since Hassan Nasrallah was murdered by the Israeli occupation on September 27, 2024. The majority Shia island state of Bahrain is governed with an iron fist by the Sunni Al Khalifa dynasty, which is politically supported by Saudi Arabia. The country has long had a revolutionary underground movement of varying ideological foundations since the 1950s.

In France’s colony Martinique, protesters stormed the airport Aimé Césaire, forcing flights to be diverted and shutting down the island’s main gateway. Dozens of protesters stormed the tarmac, determined to block the imminent arrival of 300 CRS French anti-riot police. They are fueled by anger over the French government’s mishandling of the island’s economic crisis.
The prefecture only responded hours later to deny police deployment, which many activists viewed as a tactic to quell mass outrage. They also announced a curfew and a ban on demonstrations until Monday. However, unrest persists. Protesters continue to clash with police, setting radars ablaze during nighttime protests.
The unrest in Martinique coincides with rising tensions in New Caledonia, where Indigenous Kanak people have also recently engaged in protests against French colonial rule.

Students in Argentina are occupying almost all the major universities in the country to protest state attacks on education. The ultra-neoliberal President Javier Milei yesterday blocked new funding for universities.
Milei placed a veto on a law that would have increased university funding in line with inflation, which is currently at 240% under the libertarian government. This means that the current budget available to universities has suffered a giant devaluation.
The destruction of public education in Argentina has triggered mass protests across all sections of society. Even the traditional conservative parties are opposing this move by Milei. The right-wing ex-mayor of Buenos Aires, Horacio Larreta, joined the latest student march in the capital.

Israel continues its brutal attack on northern Gaza, isolating it from the rest of the Strip and forcibly displacing hundreds of thousands. Israeli occupation forces have ordered the evacuation of three hospitals in northern Gaza, exacerbating the already catastrophic situation.
This is not the first time hospitals in Gaza have warned of the imminent shutdown of their operations due to Israeli attacks and evacuation orders. Since the start of the genocide on October 7, the Israeli occupation army has deliberately targeted the health system throughout the Strip. They’ve conducted extensive raids on hospitals and clinics to kill and detain medical staff.

Intense escalations are sweeping Martinique as local communities mobilize against the rising cost of living. On Wednesday, protesters set several buildings on fire, including a police station. They erected barricades on major roads, resulting in significant disruptions to traffic across the island.
Clashes between protesters and French police forces continue as activists launch operation “île morte” (“dead island”). The campaign is a coordinated effort aimed at paralyzing the island’s economy to demand justice and an end to colonial oppression.
The protests reflect deep-seated grievances over rising living costs, exacerbated by police violence directed at local communities, particularly from the French CRS 8 police unit recently deployed to the region.
Martinique is a French colony located in the Caribbean. It faces unique economic challenges, including a significantly higher cost of living compared to France.

🟡 NEW: The UN’s Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) report that their positions have come under direct fire from advancing Israeli Merkava tanks and additional assaults. This morning, Merkava tanks shelled the high-profile UNIFIL headquarters in Naqoura, located in southern Lebanon. The attack resulted in several injured UNIFIL soldiers.
Earlier this week, Hezbollah issued a statement declaring they would not target Israeli forces hiding behind UN positions, accusing the Israeli occupation forces of using UNIFIL as a human shield. Previously, the IDF set up a “Forward Operating Base” right outside UNIFIL outpost 6-52, deep in southern Lebanon.
Despite Israeli military requests to vacate border bases, UNIFIL has refused to budge. The UN’s military vehicles, personnel, and bases are clearly marked—bright, unmistakable “symbols of neutrality”—which makes the repeated Israeli shelling hard to write off as mere “crossfire” in the ongoing war with Hezbollah.

Yesterday’s Nazis, today’s victims!
Canadians are outraged at an unopened memorial dedicated to the “victims of communism” which honors Nazis. More than half of the names included in the memorial are linked to Nazis or other fascist groups. The memorial’s original budget was $1.5 million but ended up costing $6 million in public funds and has taken over 15 years to build.
The memorial’s opening was delayed in November 2023 after the Canadian Parliament honored Yaroslav Hunka, a Ukrainian soldier with the Waffen-SS Galicia Division which was under the command of the Nazis. Since then, there has not been a new opening date set.
Holocaust remembrance organizations repeatedly warned the Department of Canadian Heritage of the presence of Nazis on the list. According to their accounts, “the problem did not appear to be a priority.”

Savor the moment a journalist confronts US spokesman Matt Miller’s complicity in the genocide in Palestine the way millions have been yearning for. Miller was pressed on the question of the looming threat of nuclear escalation and then dodged the question entirely on how they can still claim to be “the good guys” a year into Gaza’s bloodshed.

Violent clashes erupted in Martinique as French police intervened at a blockade against rising living costs, resulting in five arrests and several injuries. For over a month, the Rally for the Protection of Afro-Caribbean Peoples and Resources (RPPRAC) has mobilized for fair living conditions.
On October 7, CRS 8, a French unit specialized in "urban violence," dislodged protesters. Their deployment last month is viewed as a provocation, and marks the first time in 65 years such forces have operated in Martinique. Their presence reminds people of the 1959 riots when French authorities killed several young demonstrators. The recent crackdown left at least four protesters injured, including Rodrigue Petitot, a key RPPRAC leader. Authorities reported that eleven police officers were injured.
Martinique remains a French overseas territory, a status many view as colonial. Food prices are, on average, 40% higher than in France, making essential goods unaffordable for residents.

The US State Department has confirmed that at least half of all homes in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged during Israel’s genocide this past year.
Knowing the irreversible destruction of Palestine being done by Israel, Biden’s administration continues to funnel more and more money to the occupying force, while continuing to claim that a simple ceasefire would resolve the conflict and allow Palestinians to return.
Furthermore, the “two state solution” they claim to support clearly becomes an impossibility if more and more of Palestine’s territory is being rendered uninhabitable by both Israeli destruction of Gaza, and colonization in the West Bank.

South Africa’s unions are protesting against neoliberal austerity measures and growing unemployment in the country.
The largest union confederation, Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), is allied with the ruling African National Congress (ANC) and the South African Communist Party. Nevertheless, the discontent among union members has forced the organization to mobilize on the streets.
The ANC is governing in a coalition with the white-led Democratic Alliance (DA) for the first time since the fall of apartheid. The DA holds numerous government ministries and their influence is pushing the government to the right on numerous issues.

“We have supplied weapons, and we will supply weapons. That is the attitude of the German government.” — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz once again summarizes the sophisticated German policy in relation to the genocide in Gaza. As Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip surpasses its one-year mark, Germany still only knows of one thing: continue the killing.

A wave of nationwide protests against femicide has erupted across Türkiye. Protesters are demanding urgent action to stop the rising rate of femicide and condemning government inaction. The protests were sparked by the recent murders of two women, highlighting the ongoing crisis of gender-based violence in the country.
In the first eight months of 2024 alone, 261 women have been murdered in Türkiye, underscoring the country’s persistently high rates of violence against women. September saw 34 women killed, with 20 of them murdered by their husbands or boyfriends and three by relatives. At least 12 victims were killed over personal decisions such as seeking a divorce, rejecting reconciliation, or turning down marriage proposals or romantic relationships.
Many blame the ruling right-wing Justice and Development Party (AKP), headed by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, for the rise in violence against women. They accuse it of protecting violent and abusive men by granting them impunity.

Numerous mass protests are taking place across Argentina to save health and education services that are on the verge of total destruction under libertarian President Javier Milei.
Doctors held marches against the closure of public hospitals and against low pay. Due to inflation under Javier Milei, most are living below the poverty line.
At the same time, a wave student occupations are taking place across the largest universities. Students have mobilized against Milei’s decision to veto funding for public universities, which many fear is a prelude to massive cuts or even privatization.
Argentina is one of the few countries in Latin America to have free access to universal healthcare and higher education. Both are among the best quality in the region.

Che Guevara was executed on this day in 1967. Did you know that his executioner, Bolivian soldier Mario Terán, was cured of blindness by Cuban doctors?
After retiring into a life of poverty under the neoliberal governments he had defended, Terán was blinded from cataracts in his old age. Then in 2005, Evo Morales was elected president in Bolivia. He brought in Cuban doctors that performed cataract surgery free of charge for working class Bolivians. Terán was among the beneficiaries.

Over 26,000 demonstrations and events for Palestine have been held across Europe in the past year. While most European leaders and governments continue to support Israel’s genocide, the people have stood on the side of the oppressed.
Remarkably, Germany—which is one of the biggest supporters of Israel politically and militarily—had the highest number of pro-Palestine protests in Europe. In one year, there were over 4,140 demonstrations across 122 cities.

At least 31 alleged Maoist guerrillas have been killed by Indian police and paramilitary forces. The clashes are just the latest in the state’s coordinated efforts to crush the movement aiming to bring about socialist revolution.
The attacks occurred in the Abujhmad forest in the eastern state of Chattisgarh, a stronghold of the Maoist movement and an area which contains rich deposits of natural resources like iron and bauxite.
Since 2004, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) has led the armed rebellion by Adivasi people preventing attempts by multinational mining companies and the government to displace them from their land.
