Hundreds of bodies have been uncovered so far following the discovery of a mass grave inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. The discovery comes just a couple of weeks after Israeli forces withdrew from the hospital on April 7.
Those retrieved from the mass grave include women, children, patients, and medical staff, with Ravina Shamdasani, a spokeswoman with the UN’s human rights office, saying that some of the bodies found at the Khan Younis hospital were “found with their hands tied and stripped of their clothes.”
A similar mass grave with over 300 bodies uncovered so far has been found at Al-Shifa Hospital, the enclave’s largest health facility, which endured a two-week Israeli siege before it ended on April 1.
The mass graves at Gaza’s two largest medical facilities are just two among several discovered since Israel launched its war of extermination on the besieged coastal enclave on October 7, killing more than 34,000 Palestinians so far.

Italian communists led the anti-fascist resistance that overthrew Mussolini and helped end WW2. Today, Italy celebrates “Liberation Day” to commemorate the resistance’s victory.
We should remember that the most significant armed resistance group was the “Garibaldi Brigades,” led by the Communist Party of Italy. Liberals and social democrats were also part of the resistance but played a much smaller role.
However, the Communist Party did not always support a strategy of armed struggle against Mussolini, despite being urged by Lenin and Gramsci to do so.

The largest anti-government protests yet since the Milei-takeover shook the streets of Argentina's capital. Some sources report millions of protesters nationwide standing in defense of public education against ultra-libertarian President Javier Milei's damaging neoliberal shock therapy reforms.
Students and university professors were joined by the country's powerful trade unions and opposition political parties. Argentina's education system is considered one of the best in Latin America. The public universities are free of charge, with some 2.2 million people studying at the state-run institutions.
Far-right President Milei campaigned on a promise to cut public spending aggressively and continues to defend his hardline approach. He is pursuing a fanatically pro-western policy, with plans to dollarize the country and even seek NATO membership.
In his first 100 days in office, the country's infection and poverty rates soared. Nearly 60% of Argentinians live in poverty, a 20-year high.

Happy 70th birthday to the Black revolutionary, journalist, and former Black Panther Party member Mumia Abu-Jamal, described as “perhaps the world’s best-known death-row inmate.”
He received a death sentence in the US 42 years ago. After spending three decades on death row, a global solidarity movement successfully persuaded US authorities to commute his sentence to life imprisonment in 2011.
Mumia honed his skills as a revolutionary journalist while a member of the Philadelphia chapter of the Black Panther Party. Renowned for viewing journalism as a potent political tool for developing a mass movement, he wrote extensively against capitalism, war, racism, and poverty.
His trial was marred by numerous controversies, including allegations of witnesses being blackmailed and the presentation of questionable evidence.
One report concluded that “the proceedings used to convict and sentence Abu-Jamal to death violated minimum international standards that govern fair trial procedures.”

This weekend, a massive anti-tourism protest rocked the Canary Islands as Spanish locals grew tired of being priced out of their homes.
Around 50,000 protesters flooded the streets of Tenerife and stated that the issues caused by excessive tourism include gentrification, unaffordable housing for locals, and environmental damage.
The issue of housing is present across Spain, with substantial rent increases in cities like Barcelona, where an average apartment can cost more than many workers' monthly wages.
Despite tourism making up around 30-40% of the Canary Islands’ employment, locals feel that the soaring cost of housing and other factors are now outweighing the benefits.
