Yesterday, the United Nations passed a resolution commemorating July 11, the day of the Srebrenica genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1995, Serbian forces massacred more than 8,000 Bosniaks to support their territorial claims in the region.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić capitalized on the opportunity to stoke ethnic tensions in the Balkans and smear the resolution as “anti-Serb.” He also used the hypocrisy of the West on questions of genocide in order to distract from his own war crimes. In March, the UN refused to hold a debate on NATO’s 1999 illegal bombing of Serbia.
In reality, the only people being condemned by the resolution are war criminals. It’s therefore no surprise that the man who proclaimed, “kill one Serb and we will kill 100 Muslims,” is feeling attacked.
A minority of Serbs have gone against the reactionary nationalist tide in Serbia and are reckoning with the crimes committed by those in power.

BREAKING: Downtown Rafah comes under attack as Israeli aircraft bomb the city located in the southern Gaza Strip.
As international pressure on Israel grows with the ICC’s issuing of arrest warrants for Israel’s top leaders and the ICJ ordering Israel to halt its latest Rafah offensive, Israel is only intensifying its attacks against the Gaza Strip. ICJ President Nawaf Salam says the humanitarian situation in Rafah has “deteriorated further” since the last court order in March.
Since October 7, at least 35,800 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed as a result of Israel’s war of extermination against the enclave.

Germany’s massive racism problem has been caught on camera again. This time, the German elite partying on the luxury island of Sylt were filmed singing “Germany for Germans, foreigners out,“ while mimicking Adolf Hitler‘s salute and moustache.
Singing this racist slogan to the electronic tune of "L’amour Toujours" by Gigi D'Agostino has become a trend among partying white Germans, particularly within the social circles of the far-right party AfD and its youth wing, Young Alternative.
While the resurgence of Germany’s far-right is often associated with the economically impoverished east of the country (former GDR), the North Sea island of Sylt is the playground of the super-rich.
The enemy does not come by boat, he comes by limousine.
NB: An earlier version of this post incorrectly included footage that depicted another unrelated event as part of this one, it has since been removed.

HAPPENING NOW: Large crowds gather at the occupation of Humboldt University’s Department of Social Sciences, which students have renamed the Jabalia Institute.
After successfully negotiating with the administration, the students have entered their second day of occupation. They have been permitted to remain on the premises until 6pm. The students, however, assert that they will stay until their demands are met.
They are demanding that the university provide scholarships to Palestinian students as it did for Ukrainian ones. They also demand that the university stop adhering to the IHRA definition of anti-semitism, which conflates anti-Zionism with antisemitism.

Unrest in New Caledonia continues as French President Emmanuel Macron visits the Pacific island amid rising tensions. Protesters continue to block several roads while riot police and military vehicles patrol the streets of the capital, Nouméa.
At least six people have been killed and hundreds wounded after violence erupted across New Caledonia following Macron’s attempts to tighten French colonial rule over the archipelago.
While in New Caledonia, Macron pushed for removing protesters’ barricades, saying that the approximately 3,000 French security forces deployed “will remain as long as necessary, even during the Olympic and Paralympic Games” in Paris.
Pro-independence leaders, who a week earlier declined Macron’s offer to hold talks via video call, now joined an in-person meeting with him in Nouméa. Rival pro-France leaders, who want the archipelago to remain part of France, also attended the talk.

Today marks the 104th anniversary of the founding of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) in 1920 – at one point the largest communist party outside of China and the USSR.
The PKI was brutally wiped out during the US-led Cold War anti-communist frenzy. Top-secret CIA reports described the killings as among the worst mass murders of the 20th century.
Following political unrest and a failed coup in 1965, communism was banned in Indonesia as a political movement and ideology. The ban on the PKI remains in place to this day.
The aftermath of the coup led to brutal purges and mass killings from 1965 to 1966, resulting in a death toll ranging from 500,000 to nearly two million.
Despite evidence from declassified documents that Western intelligence agencies were aware of and supported the massacres, the CIA has denied their involvement. History textbooks in Indonesia often omit or downplay the killings.

On this day in 1942, the Yugoslav antifascist partisan, Stjepan Filipović, was executed by the Nazis in what is modern-day Serbia.
Filipović had been a key figure in the 1941 partisan uprising against the Nazi occupation forces and their collaborators. In 1942, he was captured by Chetnik collaborators in Valjevo and publicly hung.
Even when he was being dragged through the streets of the city, Filipović remained defiant, shouting slogans in support of the partisan anti-fascist resistance. His final words were “Death to fascism, freedom to the people!”
This slogan became a rallying cry for the partisan movement and a symbol of resistance against Nazi occupation. Despite Filipović’s death, the partisans continued their struggle against fascism and were ultimately successful in liberating Yugoslavia in 1945.

Police have joined anti-austerity protesters in the province of Misiones, Argentina. Officers are now on strike, and Milei's “libertarian” government has had to send federal agents from the capital to try to keep order.
Misiones is a strategic province bordering both Brazil and Paraguay. The protests began as a teachers’ strike against low pay and inflation. The police then refused orders to repress the population and instead joined them, citing their own low pay as the reason.
A police mutiny is illegal, and if it spreads to other regions, it would be a threat to Milei's power. Numerous Latin American countries have seen a coup result from police mutinies, such as Bolivia in 2019 and Ecuador in 2010.

UPDATE: Berlin police have broken into the building and are storming the pro-Palestine Humboldt University student occupation in Berlin.
This has followed hours of flimsy negotiations on the part of the university’s president, who claims she has no power over the police’s actions. Allegedly, the decision to storm the building has come from the Berlin Senate.
Up until now, the police have also refused to allow those who wish to vacate the building to leave. However, some students have managed to exit, escorted by the university’s vice president. The majority remain inside.

Did you know that a white South African communist and legendary anti-apartheid activist was Nelson Mandela's housing minister? On this day in 1926, Joe Slovo was born. A long-time comrade of Nelson Mandela, Slovo dedicated his life to the struggle against apartheid and racism while fighting for a socialist revolution that would end racial and class inequality in South Africa. Slovo also supported Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupation.
In 1961, he helped found Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC), which would lead the resistance against apartheid. Due to political persecution from the apartheid government, Slovo was forced into exile in the United Kingdom, Angola, Mozambique, and Zambia. He returned to South Africa in 1990, and following the 1994 elections, he was appointed minister of housing in Nelson Mandela's post-apartheid government.

BREAKING: Students occupying Humboldt University in Berlin have won an important victory: The uni management will NOT order police to evict them. The unprecedented decision comes following a few hours of negotiations with the student protesters, and was met with cheers by protesters who have gathered in solidarity outside the occupied university.
Until now, Berlin's student occupations have ended in violent police evictions, arrests, threats of exmatriculation and vicious smear campaigns against the students by German media. Today, those same students have shaken Germany's hitherto unshakeable support for Israel.

Israeli invasions throughout several parts of the West Bank are met with relentless resistance by Palestinian armed groups.
In Tubas and Jenin, Palestinian forces blew up Israeli bulldozers with IEDs (improvised explosive devices), a tactic that is being used increasingly often in the current period of fighting.
Jenin, a key resistance stronghold, remains a primary target of Israeli attacks. On May 17, Israeli fighter jets bombed the city, and ground offensives occur almost daily.
In Tubas, Palestinian fighters responded to Israeli raids targeting several homes. Resistance fighters managed to destroy at least one bulldozer involved in the raid.
Footage shows Israeli forces using collective punishment tactics such as destroying infrastructure.
Since October 7, the death toll in the West Bank has reached at least 510, all victims killed by Israeli forces.

Several European countries, including Norway, Spain, and Ireland, have now made the move to recognize Palestinian statehood. While the US and its allies are busy blocking the UN from recognizing and granting full membership to Palestine, the vast majority of the international community, 143 of the 193 UN member states, already recognizes Palestine as a state.
As international pressure on Israel and its allies grows amid its continuing war of extermination against Gaza, along with the ICC’s latest arrest warrants for top Israeli politicians, countries all over the world are pushing for the recognition of Palestine and an end to Israel’s crimes.
In response, Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz has ordered Israel’s ambassadors in Ireland and Norway to return immediately to Israel, as Israel becomes increasingly isolated on the international stage.
