Have you heard of Israel's "Netzah Yehuda" unit? This section of their military has committed so many human rights abuses that even the US wanted to sanction them. Nevertheless, the IDF has stood by them and the State Department has quietly dropped the matter.

The most far-right EU parliament in history is likely heading for victory in the upcoming EU election. Over 373 million Europeans will be able to cast their vote, but with the far-right dominating the polls, the fate of the future European Parliament seems to have already been decided.
Far-right parties already rule large parts of Europe or are on the verge of seizing power. While the far-right parties present themselves as anti-system insurgents, their programs facilitate the exact opposite.
The broad policies of the far-right parties include increasing militarization, further barricading the EU's borders, and exploiting the spreading pessimism of economic and social crises to crack down on progressive and revolutionary forces.

“It is so important not to be used, as the queer community, to wash the genocide that has been conducted by the Israeli forces in Gaza.”
Tel Aviv Pride March: A day of rainbow flags, colourful parades, and the pinkwashing of Israeli war crimes.
And standing firmly against Israel’s pink washing narrative, is “Queers for Palestine.” This intersectional movement is gaining global momentum as it fights Israel’s erasure of queer Palestian voices, as well as the ongoing occupation and genocide in Gaza.
Despite being dismissed by out-of-touch, conservative media pundits as a “chickens for KFC” movement, Queers for Palestine has maintained a powerful presence at Palestinian protests and among the LGBTQI+ community worldwide.
Hasan Kilani is a queer Palestinian activist with “Queers for Palestine.” He explains the hypocrisy of Tel Aviv’s June pride march and how he is using his voice to fight back.

Israel’s threats to launch a full-scale military invasion against Lebanon-based resistance groups appear closer than ever to materialise. But did you know that this is far from the first time Israel has invaded Lebanon militarily?
Today marks the 42nd anniversary of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, also known as the First Lebanon War. The invasion aimed to weaken the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and shift the balance of the Lebanese Civil War in Israel’s favor.
The occupation of parts of Southern Lebanon lasted until 2000. One of the most infamous moments was the Sabra and Shatila massacre, during which over 3,000 Palestinian civilians were killed.
The war led to the Palestinian liberation movement moving their headquarters back to their home territory. Around 76,000 Israeli troops were deployed, and estimates suggest that between 17,000 and 19,000 Lebanese, Palestinians, and Syrians lost their lives.

Students at Stanford University in the US broke into and occupied the office of President Richard Saller, demanding immediate divestment from Israel. 75% of the student body voted in favor of divestment, yet university authorities have refused to listen.
Students successfully seized the office, but local police were called to break in and arrest 13 students. Student protests for Palestine are still raging across campuses despite many school terms having finished. Protesters have found other ways to express themselves, such as using graduation ceremonies to display Palestinian keffiyehs and wave Palestinian flags.

Escalation along the Israel-Lebanon border is approaching a full-scale war between Israel and H3zb0ll@h. The Israeli military recently carried out intense bombardment and shelling of villages and towns in southern Lebanon. The escalatory bombing follows a drone attack by H3zb0ll@h that killed at least one Israeli soldier.
In the last few days, some Israeli politicians have called for the restoration of deterrence against H3zb0ll@h. The looming war seems to be closer than ever, as the Israeli military mobilized 50,000 reservists and called for 300,000 more to be ready by the end of August.

Jewish settlers attacked Palestinians in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem as they marched through the streets to celebrate the occupation of the city back in 1967. Several Israeli politicians and ministers took part in the march. The march takes place every year and is always marked by attacks on journalists, racist chants and slogans calling for the death of Arabs, and religious slurs.
This year's march comes as Israel faces international criticism over its war crimes in Gaza and regarding its extremist right-wing government.

As Donald Trump leads the polls, Biden is pivoting towards anti-immigrant rhetoric with real-world consequences for millions, many of whom have been forced to flee their home countries due to the effects of US sanctions and imperialism.
A similar response can also be seen across Europe, as far-right groups have been able to shift the entire political spectrum to the right on this issue with the complicity of liberals and social democrats.

”The total media blackout that Israel is imposing on the Gaza Strip encourages Israel to do more massacres.” Listen to our colleague Hassan R. Esdodi report from Rafah, where most of the journalists have left. Rafah has been turned into a ghost town as most people have fled to the north in search of safety. As more journalists leave, Rafah is experiencing a media blackout that encourages Israel to commit more crimes against the people remaining in the city.
At the beginning of the Israeli invasion, Rafah was designated a safe zone and 1.7 million people were sheltering there. Despite this, Israel continued its invasion of the city and blockade of all aid, irrespective of global condemnation.

For months, violent protests have regularly erupted in the capital, Tirana, against alleged corruption scandals and links between high-level Albanian politicians and organized crime. Protesters demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who denies the allegations.
Two police officers were injured as protests outside parliament turned violent. The protests led to clashes with the police, with burning barricades, tear gas, and even attempts to set fire to government buildings.
The unrest is also driven by the Albanian right-wing opposition Democratic Party of Albania, one of the two main parties in Albania, alongside the Social Democratic Party of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
The turmoil started and is running in parallel with an Italy-Albania deal to take 36,000 migrants from Italy, which has met with outrage from the Albanian right-wing. Italy's influence in Albanian politics is seen by some as a continuation of its occupation of the country in the 20th century.

Did you know the Bolsheviks decriminalized homosexuality immediately after the October Revolution in 1917?
While some historians try to dismiss the legalization after the victory over the Tsar as an “accident,” the Soviets insisted on the legalization of homosexuality when they revised the Penal Code in 1926.

Yet another massacre has been committed in Sudan as a paramilitary attack on a central Sudanese village killed up to 100 people. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked the town of Wad al-Noura, causing widespread displacement and dozens of casualties.
The Wad Madani resistance committee said that “up to 100 people were killed.” However, they are still awaiting “a confirmed toll of the dead and injured.” Meanwhile, footage shows rows of white shrouds laid out in what appears to be a mass grave.
Fighting between the RSF and the Sudanese military spread across Sudan just a little over a year ago, with recent estimates by the UN saying that the conflict has caused 15,550 casualties and the displacement of over 8.8 million people.

Unrest and protests erupted in the city of Hakkari in the Kurdish populated area of Türkiye after the Turkish state arrested the elected co-mayor of the left-wing Kurdish DEM party.
In a fast-tracked trial, Mehmet Sıddık Akış was sentenced to almost 20 years in prison just two days after his arrest. Authorities used massive police violence, pepper spray, and water cannons against protests that developed against the arrest.
The DEM party called the arrest a coup d'état. In the previous regional elections held at the end of March, the AKP party of ruling President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan lost many areas to opposition parties. Large parts of the east, the Kurdish regions, were won by the DEM party.
Similar strategies to disempower pro-Kurdish politicians shook Türkiye in March 2024, when the Turkish government tried to replace the elected DEM party mayor in the city of Van with an AKP politician. A subsequent uprising prevented this.

On World Environment Day, here are some facts mainstream media will likely ignore. Contrary to the usual narrative, the Global North is the biggest polluter, responsible for 92% of excess CO2 emissions since 1750. The US has been responsible for a staggering 25% of historical emissions since 1750, while the Global South, effectively half the world, has only been responsible for 8%.
However, the Global South is likely to suffer much more from climate change than the Global North. For example, it is estimated that in sub-Saharan Africa as many as 86 million people could be displaced by climate change by 2050, and 19 million in North Africa. Read on.

The raging war in Sudan has triggered a mass exodus from the fiercely contested town of El Fasher, which was once home to 2.8 million people.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have launched a major offensive against Sudan’s armed forces, with El Fasher being the last stronghold in the Darfur region in western Sudan. The RSF, after months of mobilization, is striving to capture the strategic region since May.
They have engaged in discussions with representatives of the African Union to explore the possibility of peace. Simultaneously, the US has begun to exert pressure on the Sudanese military to bring an end to the fighting.
The crisis is exacerbated by a spreading famine, with 18 million people now facing hunger and food insecurity. The Sudanese Health Ministry has responded by air-dropping 20 tons of life-saving medicines in El Fasher.
Recent estimates by the UN say that the conflict has caused 15,550 casualties and the displacement of over 8.8 million people across Sudan.

Today Palestinians mark 57 years since the Naksa, which means “setback” or "defeat" in Arabic. The event refers to Israel’s occupation of the remaining 22% of Palestine that they could not initially occupy during the Nakba of 1948. The Naksa set the stage for Israel's ongoing military occupation and apartheid systems of today.
The decades of impunity and unconditional western support of Israel continues today as Israel is waging its genocidal war in Gaza.
