Israel’s Rogue State Behavior Is Somehow Only Worsening

Let’s just keep it to things that have happened roughly this past week; otherwise this piece could end up being the length of a medium-sized book.

There was the incident where illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank — who are financed, armed, enabled, and otherwise supported in every possible way by the Israeli government — viciously attacked a Washington Post photojournalist, breaking her ribs and fracturing her vertebrae, and a day later attacked a group of European diplomats from Belgium, France, and Poland (countries that, unlike Israel, actually are US treaty allies).

The reaction was, well, muted.

Israel begins demolitions in West Bank city after two soldiers killed in shooting attack

Hamas praised the attack in a statement but did not claim responsibility.

“Together with all the people of Israel, I pray for the full and speedy recovery of those wounded in the attack,” said Netanyahu’s main rival, former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, said in a statement on X.

After three years in which the scale of destruction in Gaza has remained largely hidden from the Israeli public, the Joint List has dedicated its election campaign ad to showing the reality that has been kept off Israeli screens. The ad was also aired on Israel television.

Washington — The U.S. Army Reserve is examining whether it can provide the military‘s Southern Command with police forces, medical personnel and other support units within the next four months, according to an internal Army message reviewed by CBS News.

Israeli groups receive testimonies of 22 Palestinian prisoners shot at close range in Israeli detention

JERUSALEM, October 15, 2026 (WAFA) – Two leading Israeli human rights groups revealed on Thursday that they received testimonies of 22 Palestinian prisoners shot at close range in Israeli detention centers, according to Arab News.

Physicians for Human Rights Israel and the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) said that they have documented “22 testimonies and reports from attorneys, prisoners’ families, and released prisoners point to the dangerous practice of firing rubber- or plastic-like bullets at close range inside prison wings.”

The testimonies span seven detention facilities, including Ofer, Ganot, Ktzi’ot, Gilboa, Megido, Nitzan and Eshel.

Torture in Israel Today

Does torture exist in Israel?
It definitely is.
Every year, the public committee against torture in Israel (PCATI) receives dozens of complaints alleging to physical and psychological torture used by ISA (Shabak) interrogators. Torture methods reported include painful shackling, sleep deprivation, exposure to extreme heat or cold, threats, sexual harassment, and religion- based humiliation. In addition, instances of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment by the Israel police and Israel prison service are regularly reported.

Is torture legal?
No.
Torture and cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment are absolutely prohibited, both by international as well as Israeli law. However, Israel has yet to enact a law explicitly prohibiting torture, despite its previous commitment to do so.

Israel’s Genocide in Gaza Persists One Year into the So-Called “Ceasefire” | Report

A year ago, on October 10, 2025, a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip was announced. For a moment, we at PHRI had a glimpse of hope that this would bring relief and rehabilitation to Palestinians and allow the recovery and reconstruction of the decimated healthcare system.

The ICC strongly rejects US sanctions against the institution

This measure targets an independent judicial institution, created by treaty and entrusted by 125 States Parties with investigating and prosecuting genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. It is an attempt to obstruct the course of justice and to prevent the Court from doing what it was created to do. It is an assault on the rule of law and on the very foundations of the international legal order which strikes at the simple principle that no one stands above the law.

The designation is aimed at disrupting the Court’s operations and at intimidating those who work for or cooperate with the Court. The Court, for its part, will not be deterred. “The Court will continue to fully discharge its mandate, with independence and impartiality, acting only on the basis of the law and the evidence, for the sake of the countless victims of grave crimes” said ICC President Tomoko Akane.

Thomas Fazi: Die Brüsseler Tyrannei

Die Europäische Union wurde auf der Grundlage von Versprechen von Frieden, Freiheit, Wohlstand und strategischer Autonomie gegründet. Wofür steht sie heute? Krieg, Zensur, Autoritarismus, wirtschaftliche Stagnation, wenn nicht gar regelrechte Deindustrialisierung und geopolitische Unterwerfung unter Washingtons Diktat. Der britisch-italienische Publizist Thomas Fazi argumentiert, dass der gesamte Prozess der europäischen Integration, selbst in seinen Vorläuferformen vor der EU, in erster Linie nicht als wirtschaftliches, sondern als politisches Projekt verstanden werden sollte: als ein Projekt, das darauf abzielte, die Massendemokratie zu entmachten, die die Eliten seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg einzudämmen versucht hatten. Dieser Prozess erreichte mit der Unterzeichnung des Maastricht-Vertrags einen Wendepunkt, der den Neoliberalismus effektiv in das Gefüge der Europäischen Union einbettete. Auf diese Weise wurden die Mitgliedstaaten in so etwas wie Kolonien von Brüssel und Frankfurt verwandelt.

Europas Rechte leckt Trump die Stiefel

Es zeigt sich: Immer wieder haben sich gerade jene Parteien, die behaupten, die Nation an die erste Stelle setzen zu wollen, als die eifrigsten Verräter der Interessen ihres eigenen Volkes erwiesen. Sich mit Trump und Netanjahu gut zu stellen, scheint schlichtweg wichtiger.

In diesem Sinne kuschelt sich die radikale Rechte auch eng an das liberal-konservative Establishment in den europäischen Institutionen. Tatsächlich hat sich die einstige Kluft zwischen diesen beiden Fraktionen seit Jahren stetig verringert. Die jüngsten Kriegshandlungen in Nahost machen diese Annäherung noch deutlicher sichtbar. Beide Seiten sind nur allzu gerne bereit, ihre Rolle als Untergebene in der globalen Hierarchie zu spielen.

Israel’s top court backs barring Palestinian politician from election over article

Abu Shehadeh, a key figure in the Palestinian-majority Joint List, was disqualified from standing last month by the Central Elections Committee, a body controlled by the governing coalition.

His disqualification centred on an article he wrote in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas-led attack in southern Israel on 7 October.

The article, titled “The Al-Aqsa Flood: Preliminary Observations”, was published in Arabic by the Arab48 news outlet on 8 October 2023. It presented a preliminary analysis of the attack and its ramifications.

(…)

He also wrote that the attack showed that “Israel and its intelligence services are made up of human beings like us” and could “be prevented from penetrating our countries, parties, and political movements – if there is the will to do so and if we organise ourselves properly”.

Italy ends twelve-year military presence in Iraq

The final group had stayed behind to recover and ship out logistical equipment, Crosetto said. Italian forces, along with those of other countries in the Global Coalition and NATO, left Iraq by the September 30 deadline agreed with the Iraqi government.

Crosetto said the withdrawal was „not an Italian decision,“ but part of a new phase agreed with Iraqi authorities and partner countries, in which Iraqi security forces take full responsibility for the country‘s security.

The Global Coalition‘s Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), the US-led military campaign against ISIS, will continue to operate from other countries, according to the statement.

Asked what war would mean, Smotrich pointed to earlier Israeli operations in West Bank refugee camps.

„We already did it. There are three refugee camps there that are empty, that we evacuated the population from for its protection and cleansed of all the terror. I want to kill all the terrorists and collect all the weapons,“ he said.

Mr. President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,

We live at a dangerous moment.
But our future is not predetermined.
War is a choice.
Peace is also a choice.
And sometimes —
the greater courage, lies, not in starting a war —
but in preventing one.
Pakistan has made its choice.
We have chosen dialogue over confrontation.
We have chosen cooperation over coercion.
We have chosen peace over war.
Let this eighty-first General Assembly make it unanimous choice.
For ourselves.
For our children.
And for generations yet unborn.
Let us restore trust. Let us preserve peace.
And let us prove that even in a divided world —
humanity can still choose to stand together.

I thank you.
