Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are being forced on a death march as Israel issued yet another mass displacement order over the weekend. The latest order once again applies to several areas of the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip and is just one in a series of mass displacement orders throughout the current genocide.
The area that the new displacement order covers is said to be one of the largest in the 10-month-old invasion of the enclave and even includes part of an Israeli-declared “humanitarian zone.”
The order came a day after an Israeli air strike on al-Tabin School in northern Gaza’s Gaza City killed more than 100 Palestinians sheltering there. Despite being met with international condemnation for the latest massacre, Israel presses on with its devastating ground operations, including in Khan Younis.

Lady Izdihar recaps how, right after WWII, the US government sent two prominent Jewish Americans to their deaths by electric chair on bogus charges of “nuclear espionage.” Meanwhile, the US government was busy hiring Nazis to develop its nuclear program.

The Black population of Los Angeles, California erupted in fury in six days of unrest today in August 1965, known as the Watts Riots. The unrest occurred during the tense period of the Civil Rights movement where the racist Jim Crow laws of the southern US states were being challenged by activists. However, in Los Angeles the context was slightly different and the causes of the unrest were more long-term.
During the Second Great Migration in the 1940s, the Black population of Los Angeles increased due to defense industry recruitment efforts. As a result, the Black population increased from 63,700 in 1940 to 350,000 in 1965.
However, the white bourgeoisie did not welcome the Black migration. Many covenants prevented minorities, including Black people, from owning property in certain areas of the city. At the same time, the Los Angeles Police Department was gaining a reputation for racist violence. It was these events that created a pressure cooker that exploded in August 1965.

On this day in 1961, the US started spraying Agent Orange in a campaign called “Operation Ranch Hand,” which would last 10 years. The program entailed the spraying of 19 million gallons of defoliants and herbicides over rural South Vietnam. Its alleged aim was to deny the Vietcong access to food and concealment provided by vegetation. In reality, it was to punish and deprive the Vietnamese people for their resistance.
Roughly 20% of South Vietnam's jungles were sprayed at one point, and areas in Cambodia and Laos were also affected. The US Air Force conducted over 20,000 sorties from 1961 to the program's conclusion in 1971.
The Vietnamese government estimates that approximately 4.8 million people were exposed to Agent Orange, leading to 400,000 deaths from cancers and other conditions. Three million Vietnamese experienced health complications due to the program and 150,000 children were born with serious birth defects.

Thousands of fascists marched in Imotski, Croatia, singing songs of the Ustaše, which took power as a Nazi puppet state during World War II to further expand the Holocaust in Eastern Europe. The march also saw mass Nazi salutes and displays of fascist Ustaše symbols.
The march took place during a concert at the same location with 20,000 participants, during which Ustaše songs were also sung.
The Ustaše set about an exterminatory terror campaign with brutality that shocked even the Germans and occasionally obliged the Italians to intervene.

On this day in 1945, the US dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Nagasaki three days after dropping the first nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. The atomic blast killed at least 100,000 people, almost all of them civilians, and included scores of forced laborers from Korea and China who had been trafficked by the Japanese army. By the end of 1945, more than 230,000 people had died from the effects of both atomic bombs.
Watch South Africa's anti-imperialist President Nelson Mandela explain that the US dropped these bombs in order to threaten the Soviet Union, which had emerged victorious from the fight against fascism.

Police in Kenya once again use force to crack down on renewed anti-government protests in Nairobi following two months of deadly protests that killed at least 61. On social media, young Kenyans had called for the “mother of all protests,” dubbed the Nane Nane March, to occur today.
In what has proven to be the biggest crisis for Kenyan President William Ruto during his time in office, the massive protests had previously forced him to abandon a tax reform and fire almost his entire cabinet. The renewed protests come as Ruto swore in his “new” cabinet, reintroducing about half of the previously dismissed ministers.
What began as peaceful youth-led rallies against proposed tax hikes has since expanded into broader protests against Ruto and his administration, with many calling to “liberate the country.”

What do people in Gaza think of the appointment of Yahya Sinwar as the new leader of Hamas?
Sinwar was unanimously elected as head of the group’s political bureau, succeeding the late Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in an attack on his residence in Tehran last week.
Sinwar was born in 1962 in the Khan Younis refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip and is one of the founders of the Hamas movement in the late 1980s.
An Israeli court had previously sentenced him to life in prison for killing Palestinian collaborators and Israeli soldiers. He was released in 2011 along with more than 1,000 other Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
He was appointed leader and head of Hamas in 2017 and was re-elected in 2021.

Israeli authorities demolished the slain Palestinian Moamen Fayez Al-Masalma’s house in the occupied West Bank city of Dura. At dawn, the occupation forces stormed Dura, surrounded Masalma’s house, and forced the family out of the house before blowing it up. They even mockingly put up a banner equating Hamas to the so-called Islamic State, despite Masalma having had zero connection to any group.
The demolition of Masalma’s house comes after Israeli forces killed him on April 1 in the ‘48 occupied territories. Authorities had notified the family of the demolition of the house on June 5.
Recent reports recorded the demolition of at least 135 structures, including inhabited homes, uninhabited homes, and agricultural facilities, in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in July alone. The report also noted that the Israeli army issued further demolition notices for 16 homes and other structures in several West Bank provinces.

The anti-fascist counter-protest in Walthamstow, London, has attracted massive crowds. People are still anticipating the over 100 planned far-right events tonight, including in Walthamstow. Meanwhile, thousands of police officers have also been deployed, with more on standby.
Several hundred protesters have also gathered elsewhere in London. Protests in other cities across the UK are said to match the vast numbers seen in Walthamstow.
Counter-protesters have been able to largely keep the far right off the streets for now, successfully organizing a human shield for vulnerable migrant communities. However, how the events unfold further into the night is yet to be seen.

NOW: At least 1,000 protesters rallying against the racist pogroms across the UK have flooded the streets of London. While the far right is rumored to target dozens of “hit list” areas tonight, counter-protesters, mainly consisting of migrants, are planning to defend their communities. red. media is on the ground, speaking to the counter-protesters.
Thousands of police officers are said to already be on the streets in the capital, with 1,300 more on standby. The UK’s Home Office has warned that anyone “involved in criminal disorder or violent thuggery [...] will have to pay the price.”
However, while authorities claim to be determined to crack down on the pogroms, only 425 people have been arrested in almost a week of racist mobs wreaking havoc daily. At the same time, counter-protesters have been urged to stay home rather than organize themselves in resistance to the racist violence.

Anti-fascist demonstrations took place in numerous towns and cities of the UK and Ireland as the violent pogroms of the far-right begin to subside.
Following clashes and counter-protests last week, mobilizations from the far-right have mostly fizzled out and prison sentences have been handed to many of those involved.
The violence broke out two weeks ago after rumors spread that a Muslim immigrant had committed a stabbing attack on young children. Subsequently, the far-right rioted and launched arson attacks on immigrant-owned shops and at hotels where refugees were being temporarily housed.

Today marks the anniversary of the first genocide in the history of the 20th century, the blood of which is on the hands of the German colonialists in Namibia. From 1884 to 1915, the German Reich ruled over what is now Namibia, brutally suppressing local uprisings.
The Herero and Nama War from 1904 to 1908 saw mass killings, with historians estimating that 65,000 out of 80,000 Herero and at least 10,000 out of 20,000 Nama were killed in retaliation for their anti-colonial resistance.
Even today, the legacy of this violence lingers. Seventy percent of Namibia's farmland remains in the hands of the descendants of German settlers, while the destruction of Herero and Nama culture has led to widespread poverty among their communities.

The first genocide of the 20th century was carried out in Africa by German colonial authorities, which started today in 1904. Namibia’s government reminded Germany of this fact during the recent ICJ hearings when Germany expressed their full support for Israel against the genocide charges brought by South Africa. Let’s take a deeper look into the horrors of the concentration camps in Namibia, built decades before those of the Nazi Holocaust.

Twitter/X is now banned in Venezuela for the next 10 days on orders of President Nicolás Maduro, who accuses Elon Musk of promoting violence and fascism in the country.
The ban took effect late last night and was announced at a mass rally held by Chavistas in support of Maduro and in rejection of a US-backed coup. The government has condemned social media platforms, particularly WhatsApp and Twitter, for promoting fake news about the recent elections and inciting violent pro-coup protests.
Opposition mobilizations have fizzled after the government arrested over 2,000 people this past week for their involvement in violent acts since the July 28th elections. Opposition candidate Maria Corina Machado now uses her social media platforms to call on the military to lead a coup.

“By God, this is the twentieth time we’ve been displaced.” — Palestinians in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip are left without a break, as Israel has issued yet another wave of renewed forced displacement orders for several districts in eastern Khan Younis city.
With scores of Palestinians from eastern Khan Younis being once more displaced, what’s going on in the city is practically a repetition of what happened two weeks ago, when the Israeli military launched a military offensive into the city’s east, displacing tens of thousands of residents.
Now, just as many have returned to eastern Khan Younis, the Israeli military launched an offensive into the territory once more, marking the third time such “clearing operation,” purportedly aimed at ridding the area of Palestinian fighters.
Last night, eastern Khan Younis has already faced a heavy bombardment, with some 30 air attacks taking place in the span of a few hours, including strikes on two schools.

Argentinians returned to the streets for mass protests against sky-rocketing poverty under ultra-neoliberal President Javier Milei. The occasion was the saints day of "San Cayetano", the patron saint of workers and the unemployed, a revered figure in working class communities where mixing leftist and religious catholic traditions is common.
Milei's first six months saw an accumulated rise in inflation of 115%, double that of his predecessor's first six months. Despite a massive devaluation of the currency and a promise to end currency controls, a black market for foreign currency persists with the government's exchange rate at 936 Pesos for 1 dollar, while black market rate stands at 1,385 Pesos per dollar, exposing the continuing devalued status of the currency.

An Israeli soldier who raped a Palestinian prisoner alongside other soldiers appeared on Israeli channel 14 to defend his unit that committed the rape. The incident sparked outrage as it was filmed on CCTV cameras and spread to the media.
The incident happened in the Sde Teiman detention center, where several reports have revealed the brutal condition and systematic torture, including rape, electric shocks, and starvation against Palestinian prisoners.
The incident has sparked an outrage in Israel, mainly for initiating an investigation and questioning the soldiers but not for the rape itself. Israelis, including politicians and reserve soldiers, have even taken a step ahead, storming a military base to protest the investigation and release the soldiers, simply protesting the soldiers’ rights of raping prisoners.

Happy birthday to the Mexican revolutionary leader, Emiliano Zapata! Born today in rural Mexico in 1879, he led the armed farmers uprising that eventually snowballed into the Mexican Revolution of 1911. Zapata commanded the “Liberation Army of the South,” fighting for land rights and for power to be in the hands of the peasants.
Beyond the fight for land, Zapata stressed the vital connection between the struggle of the Mexican peasantry and the fight for social justice and material necessities: “We fight for the land and not for illusions that give us nothing to eat […] With or without elections, the people are chewing the cud of bitterness.”
Emiliano Zapata’s life was tragically cut short when he was gunned down by federal forces in 1919. Today his legacy lives on through Zapatista revolutionary groups that emerged in the mid-1990s fighting for land reform and justice, such as the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN).

Genocide doesn’t matter because Trump bad? Pro-Palestine protesters disrupted a campaign rally by US Vice President Kamala Harris with chants like “We won’t vote for genocide.” The seemingly pressed Kamala found few sympathetic words for Gaza in response, answering, “If you want Donald Trump to win, just say that.” Her apparently equally ignorant voter base cheered her genocide-pleasing “clapback.”
