The Joint List Releases Election Ad with Drone Footage of the Devastation in Gaza
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.
GERMAN WEAPONS ARE KILLING PEOPLE IN PALESTINE. WE ARE RESISTING!
With the support of the German government, Israel is committing genocide in Palestine. Day after day, innocent people continue to be systematically killed. We refuse to allow this to continue and join the global Palestinian resistance against the colonial Zionist project. In cooperation with national and international groups, we have already staged peaceful, disruptive protests and will continue to do so until the German government ends its complicity in Israeli crimes against Palestinians.
Together, we stand against the crimes committed by the government and the arms industry!
Join us in peaceful resistance

Comedians speaking out against cruel Charlie Kirk jokes on the first anniversary of his death
„Well, yeah, I’ll say anything about the guy who is not going to punch me back. You’re certainly brave about the guy who’s not in the room.”
Loftus, who met Kirk years ago at the nonpartisan political convention Politicon in Los Angeles, said that as a comedian, he’s “all about freedom of speech and the First Amendment,” but described those who made jokes about Kirk as “just absolute cowards.”
DSA Statement on the New State Department Report on Cuba
(August 10, 2026)
We are being depicted as fanatics for building a world where people live in peace, safe from bombs; where no child goes hungry; where no family has to worry that their lives will be ripped apart by ICE; and where no one has to suffer from lack of housing or healthcare. They depict us as such because they are afraid that our ideas are not fringe demands. These are the demands that millions of Americans have already committed to fighting for at the ballot box and in the streets.
Despite Rubio’s attempt to smear us, his report admits that DSA does not organize on behalf of the Cuban Government, only of its own accord.
Occupation Soldiers Block Hadash MK from Besieged Palestinian Home in Qusra
Cassif eventually reached the families and expressed his support.
Louai Ridi, a Palestinian American, has been effectively trapped on his property since settlers first arrived in the area on Aug. 9. The settlers pitched a tent surrounding Ridi’s home before cutting water pipes and electricity lines and blocking roads leading to his property, making it extremely difficult for the Ridi family and other residents to go about the area.
Videos posted by Cassif, Zo Haderekh and the Palestinian families have brought international attention to the standoff, creating an unusual degree of pressure on the Israeli government and its military.
WATCH: Israeli soldiers block Knesset member from besieged Palestinian home

I Saw Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya Save Lives. Now Israel Is Holding Him Hostage.
I first met Abu Safiya at the beginning of February 2024 when I visited Kamal Adwan Hospital. I entered the pediatric intensive care unit, where several premature babies were receiving treatment. Their health conditions were critical, and they were suffering from malnutrition.
I saw Abu Safiya moving between the hospital departments. He appeared anxious and exhausted as he asked one of the nurses to search for formula specifically needed for premature infants…..
Iran says ceasefire in Lebanon remains condition for US deal
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said on June 1 that a ceasefire in Lebanon remains a key condition for any deal with the US to end the Middle East war.
“We insist that a ceasefire in Lebanon is an essential condition for any deal aimed at ending the war,” the ministry’s spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, said at a weekly news briefing, as Israel expands its offensive in Lebanon.
McIver Speaks out Against Unlawful Abuse Against Protestors and Detainees at Delaney
(May 28, 2026)
“I’m hearing from advocates and families on the ground reports of ICE pepper spraying and beating detainees inside Delaney Hall. I have seen the horrific conditions and spoken to those inside about the disgusting food, lack of medical care, and violent and unsanitary conditions as recently as this week. With demoted former USCBP Commander Greg Bovino’s announcement that he is coming to Newark today and his threats online to tear gas our community, I have even more concern that he will only escalate the chaos at Delaney,” said McIver. “More ICE violence has never made a situation safer. The only solution to stop the abuse at Delaney Hall and quell this terror nationwide is to shut down the facility and abolish ICE. We will keep standing up to this administration’s terror campaign and we will keep fighting for justice.”
On Monday, McIver made her fourth visit to Delaney Hall. The chaos created by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during McIver’s first visit to Delaney Hall, led to the Trump administration bringing baseless charges against her for conducting oversight. Her second visit came on the heels of the death of Jean Wilson Brutus in ICE custody. Her third visit was following the release of the S.O.S. letter signed by 300 detainees.
Detained immigrants issue “Our Cry,” a letter from inside Newark ICE facility pleading for due process
(February 12, 2026)
Kathy O’Leary of Pax Christi, an international Catholic peace organization, said she was blown away by the letter’s careful, measured phrasing, as well as the apology it led with.
“It’s heartbreaking,” she told The Jersey Vindicator. “I can’t imagine being in that situation and having the presence of mind to write a letter like that.”
(…)
The message also comes more than a month after the still-unexplained demise of Jean Wilson Brutus, a 41-year-old Haitian man who died at Delaney Hall, and months of complaints and criticism from immigration advocates, local officials, and federal lawmakers about the facility’s treacherous living conditions.
James Talarico for Texas: It’s time to Start Flipping Tables.
James is an eighth-generation Texan, former middle school teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian. As a state representative, he’s led the fight against the billionaire mega-donors and puppet politicians who have taken over Texas.

Occupation Soldiers Detained Solidarity Delegations Supporting Palestinian Victims of Settlers Terror
he delegations to Bethlehem and the Jordan Valley, were stopped by soldiers and police officers, and activists held protests on the scene. In other areas, activities proceeded as planned. “While settler terror gangs operated across the West Bank unhindered, the police and army blocked hundreds of activists this morning who came to demonstrate solidarity with the victims,” one of the participants told Zo Haderekh.
Hundreds of activists from a wide range of organizations took part in the protest, including Partnership for Peace, Rabbis for Human Rights, Peace Now, Hadash, Zazim, The Parents Circle-Families Forum, Standing Together, Jordan Valley Activists, Looking the Occupation in the Eye, Women Wage Peace, A Land for All, Combatants for Peace, Breaking the Silence, and Mothers Against Violence.
Partnership for Peace stated: “Hundreds of Israelis who set out to oppose terror and demand the state enforce the law in the occupied territories were detained at all checkpoints. It was proven that when the army wants to, it can act efficiently. We expect authorities to show the same determination in protecting innocent people who undergo daily violent pogrom attacks. We will not stop striving for peace, justice, and equality for all residents of the region.” “We will continue the struggle against the occupation and ethnic cleansing! They will not succeed in stopping us!” they emphasized.
GUIDO IS COMING DOWN AFTER 5 DAYS ON THE BRIDGE
After five days on top of the bridge, Guido is finally coming down.
Through wind, rain, and exhaustion, he stayed up there to sound the alarm about the wars in Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, and Palestine and to remind all of us that silence is not an option.
He risked his life to send a message and now we all have a responsibility to do more.
Thank you, Guido.
Germany: Trial of ‚Ulm Five‘ protesters accused of Elbit break-in postponed
Known by the name „Ulm Five“, the activists allegedly entered the factory on the 8 September 2025 by smashing a glass facade and subsequently destroyed office equipment, including computers, screens and telephones.
Shortly after, the five were arrested and have since been held in pretrial detention in different prisons across southern Germany.
‘Extraordinarily far-reaching’ Palestine Action trial gets underway in Germany
(April 28, 2026)
In the early hours of Sept. 8, 2025, a group of activists wearing black hoodies that bore the red and white logo of Palestine Action broke into the offices of Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems in Ulm, southern Germany.
Once inside the compound, according to prosecutors, they damaged and partly destroyed furniture, windows, and technical equipment with axes; sprayed slogans on the walls; lit pyrotechnics; and chanted “Free, free Palestine” and “Germany finances, Israel bombs.” As visible from the activists’ own filming of the break-in, no one was harmed during the action. They remained on site and called the police, who later detained them.
Since their arrest, the five activists — Daniel Tatlow-Devally (an Irish citizen), Leandra Rollo (a Spanish citizen), Crow Tricks and Zo Hailu (British citizens), and Vi Kovarbasic (a German citizen) — have been held in pre-trial detention in separate prisons across southern Germany.

Hadash Announces Primary Elections and Push for Joint List Consolidation
During the session, political leaders, including the Communist Party of Israel Secretary-General Adel Amer and Hadash Secretary Amjad Shbita, addressed the regional political situation. Discussions centered on the fragile ceasefire, the risk of renewed war on Iran and Lebanon, and the concerning rise of internal fascism and ongoing occupation of Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian territories.
“The establishment of the Joint List is not merely a tactical maneuver,” Hadash stated in an official communique. “It is a fundamental mission to shift the political balance of power and intensify the struggle against the occupation.” In addition to election preparations, Hadash leadership issued a formal call for public mobilization. Activists and supporters are urged to participate in International Workers’ Day events on Friday, May 1, in Tel Aviv, on Saturday, May 2 in Nazareth and other localities.
One Month Later- Free The Tunisian 7
On March 6th, 2026, an arrest campaign was started that shook the pro-Palestinian landscape in Tunisia. Seven activists, some of whom put their own bodies on the line for the possibility of breaking the illegal siege on Gaza, were arrested and sent to prison on what appear to be unfounded charges. Let’s say their names:
• Jawaher Channa
• Wael Nawar – Member of the Global Steering Committee
• Ghassan Henchiri
• Ghassan Boughediri
• Sana Msahli
• Dr. Mohamed Amine Ben Nour
• Nabil Chennoufi – Member of the Global Steering Committee
Each of these 7 activists have played a vital role in the unprecedented GSF mission that was launched from Sidi Bou Said Port, Tunisia in September of 2025, an act that is protected under international law. Their mission was simply to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged people of Gaza and to establish a humanitarian corridor.
Hadash MKs Visited Bani Odeh Children’s, Their Parents and Two Young Brothers Were Murdered by Occupation Soldiers
(March 19, 2026)
Hadash MK Ayman Odeh, Ofer Cassif and Aida Touma-Sliman visited on Tuesday evening, March 17, Khaled and Mustafa Bani Odeh whose parents and their two young children were murdered by occupation forces on last Saturday, demands justice and above all demands an end to the occupation “for as long as the occupation continues crimes like these are not rare, they are a part of our daily lives.”
The Palestinian man, his wife, and their two children were killed after midnight by Israeli occupation forces in the town of Tammun, south of Tubas, while their two other children were injured by shrapnel. WAFA reported that Israeli special forces infiltrated the town, followed by military reinforcements arriving from the Ein Shibli checkpoint and the Tayasir checkpoint.
Forces opened fire on a vehicle, killing Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, 37, his wife Waad Othman Bani Odeh, 35, and their two children, Mohammed, 5, and Othman, 7. Their other two children, Mustafa, 8, and Khaled, 11, sustained minor shrapnel injuries to the head and face. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said Israeli forces prevented its crews from reaching the injured inside the vehicle and forced them to leave the area before later allowing them to retrieve the four bodies — a man, a woman, and two children — along with the two injured children.
The ‘Crazy’ Plot to Release the Epstein Files
Khanna’s staff and consultants tried to talk him out of pursuing such legislation, explaining that it could make him look like a conspiracy theorist, instead of his desired image as a “serious economics guy.” But Khanna explained to his staff that the topic of Epstein kept coming up, especially when he appeared on podcasts or visited the more conservative parts of his district. He recalled a young man delivering a long rant at a recent town hall about how he didn’t trust the government because it was “protecting pedophiles” by not releasing the Epstein files or holding more people accountable. In that moment, Khanna told me, he realized that standing up for Epstein’s victims—and against the wealthy or powerful—was a way to build trust.
More than 50 MPs and Peers have joined me in urging David Lammy to immediately meet with the lawyers of those on hunger strike. The government needs to wake up, take responsibility, and show some humanity before it is too late.

After the Bondi massacre, we don’t have the luxury to grieve silently
In response to the Bondi attack, it is tempting, as many on the Jewish left have done for years, to promote the idea of safety through solidarity, according to which the strengthening of bonds between different marginalized communities is the key to each other’s protection. But as a colleague said to me recently, the pursuit of safety may be a delusion. Such sentiments feel empty in the face of an attack like Bondi. Indeed, so few of these communities enjoy any sense of safety in the unfolding era of political violence and instability.
