  • Scholasticide in Palestine

    The term “scholasticide” emerged in the context of Israel’s long history of targeting Palestinian institutions of higher learning, culminating in Israeli forces destroying 95% of campuses and university buildings in Gaza from 2023 to 2025. We partnered with Taawon’s ISNAD program to document scholasticide and the determination of Palestinian scholars and students to resume teaching, […]

  • Using the Slain: Israel Exploits the Bondi Beach Shootings

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rarely passes an opportunity to comment upon the way Jews in other countries are treated. While the manic hatred directed against Jews remains one of history’s grotesque legacies, opportunism in the Netanyahu government is a ready instinct. With a customary sense of perversion, Netanyahu has managed to mangle Israeli policy, […]

  • Israel and the Global Sumud Flotilla

    Showing that cloddishness that we have come to expect from them, Israel’s detention of the activists on the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) was a coarse and violent affair. Having been intercepted in international waters on route to Gaza to break the Israeli-imposed blockade, the 470 or so activists, hailing from some fifty countries travelling on […]

  • Israel Stalls and the International Court of Justice Complies

    One year ago, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel had fifteen months to prepare their defense (“counter memorial”) against the charges of genocide filed by South Africa. They were told to present their arguments by 28 July 2025. That seems like a very long time in a case involving the daily killing of […]

  • Israel Doesn’t Care about the Captives

    Israel Doesn’t Care about the Captives

    What excuses has Israel given for renewing the genocide: 1. Israel says it is trying to force Hamas to release the captives in Gaza. Yet, as we know from those already released, the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza only increases the chances the captives will be killed. There is no plausible scenario in which dropping US-supplied […]

  • Media Silent Over Israel’s Use of the “Hannibal Directive” on 7 October 2023

    ‘Hannibal Directive’ was implemented by Israeli military forces on 7 October 2023, the day of attacks by Hamas and other Palestinian fighters.
