Genocide

Shared Ideology Behind Settler Colonialism In Native America And Palestine

May 2, 2026 Eric Cheyfitz, Mondoweiss. , , ,
The United States was founded and exists on stolen Native American land, taken in the course of an ongoing national genocide. Israel was founded and exists on stolen Palestinian land, taken in the course of an ongoing national genocide. In both nations, these genocides are a structural part of settler colonialism. And as I will argue in what follows, the ideology grounding settler colonialism in both nations comes from the same source, helping to cement a long-standing relationship between Israel and the United States. Settler colonialism is a variation of colonialism.

DNC Winners: Ethnic Cleansing And Genocide

April 22, 2026 Norman Solomon, Consortium News. , , ,
In the aftermath of this month’s big meeting of theDemocratic National Committeein New Orleans, supporters of the U.S.-Israel alliance have been quite content. “We’re pleased that the DNC Resolutions Committee rejected a set of divisive, anti-Israel resolutions,” the president of Democratic Majority for Israel said. The CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, a former national security advisor to Kamala Harris, expressed gratitude to the DNC’s leadership. Why did pro-Israel groups voice so much pleasure and praise — not only for the sidelining of pro-human-rights resolutions but also for the process that sidelined them?

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced on 19 April that his government will formally propose that the EU suspend its Association Agreement with Israel. “A government that violates international law and, therefore, the principles and values of the EU cannot be our partner,” Sanchez said, speaking at a PSOE rally in the province of Huelva. “This Tuesday, the Government of Spain will take to Europe the proposal that the EU sever its association with Israel,” he stressed. Sanchez was careful to say that Spain’s stance is directed against the Israeli government and its policies, and not its citizens, saying, "We are a people friendly to Israel.”

For over five decades, Palestinians have observed Palestinian Prisoner’s Day on April 17 as a national day to honor the thousands of Palestinian political detainees held in Israeli occupation prisons, highlight their struggle, and demand their freedom.

Passage of the new edict was celebrated by Israel’s right wing National Security Minister and zionist zealot, Itamar Ben Gvir.

Barcelona, April 12 - Following a major international launch press conference at Moll de la Fusta Port this morning, the Global Sumud Flotilla has formally entered its active Barcelona departure window, transforming months of organizing, testimony, and international coordination into the next phase of the largest civilian-led flotilla mission in history to challenge Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza.

Amjad Ashour, 50, stands in the nutrition department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, holding his four-month-old infant as doctors warn him that a lack of formula leads to stunted growth, developmental delays, and serious health complications. His child is already suffering from the shortage. Ashour’s wife, the baby’s mother, is herself malnourished, leaving the family entirely dependent on infant formula, which is no longer available at the hospital. Ashour said he struggled to find milk for his child every day, and when the hospital had none, he turned to international organizations.

Sudanese ‘Resistance Theater’ Animates A Future Without War

April 11, 2026 Lital Khaikin, Waging Nonviolence. , , ,
When a homeland is decimated by war and life must be repeatedly rebuilt anew, how does one find the way back to purpose?  Since the start of the war in Sudan, Sudanese theater director and artist Rabee Al-Hassan has brought theater to survivors of war and displacement across the country. He uses a kind of participatory theater that he calls “resistance theater,” which gives voice to many issues that remain taboo under oppressive laws and authorities in Sudan. Resistance theater confronts themes of human rights, social justice and equality, as well as despair, fear and post-war trauma.
