Report of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel
3. Crimes against humanity (underlying crimes)
Extermination, and other inhumane acts
47. The Commission considered (i) the large number of victims killed; (ii) the methods used by the Israeli forces to target the civilian population (through the firing of live ammunition and airstrikes); (iii) the locations of the killings (densely populated areas); and (iv) the remarks and statements of the Israeli authorities, and finds that the cases it investigated and documented show a pattern where civilians in the West Bank were intentionally and directly targeted and killed by the Israeli soldiers on a mass scale since 7 October 2023. The Commission finds that, together with the mass killings by the Israeli forces, settler violence constitutes a component of the attack against this civilian population. Conduct of Israeli authorities indicate that they knew and intended settler violence to be part of the attack. The Commission concludes that the Israeli authorities and security forces have committed the crime against humanity of extermination against the civilian population in the West Bank since 7 October 2023.
48. The Commissionâs findings on extermination apply equally to the crime against humanity of other inhumane acts. The Commission concludes that the Israeli authorities and forces have committed the crime against humanity of other inhumane acts, in particular causing serious injury to body and to mental or physical health against the civilian population in the West Bank since 7 October 2023.
Torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence
49. The Commission finds that investigated cases of torture, reproductive violence, rape and other forms of sexual violence of comparable gravity were not isolated incidents. Rather, these acts form part of the broader attack directed against the civilian population. Furthermore, the Commission finds that the Israeli authorities support and encourage such acts. The Commission therefore concludes that the Israeli authorities and security forces have committed the crimes against humanity of torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence of comparable gravity against the civilian population.
Israelâs Rogue State Behavior Is Somehow Only Worsening
Letâs 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 â who are financed, armed, enabled, and otherwise supported in every possible way by the Israeli government â 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.
âMELONI RESIGN!â: Italy Erupts As Protesters Storm Rome‘s Colosseum, Violent Clashes Explode
Thousands of young protesters marched across Italy, with demonstrations in Rome, Milan and Turin over issues including the Gaza war, education, corruption, housing and the rising cost of living.
Clashes broke out in parts of Rome and Turin, where police used tear gas and water cannons, while security was heavily reinforced in Milan after violence during earlier protests. Several hundred demonstrators also briefly entered the Colosseum carrying Palestinian flags and chanting anti-government slogans.
Angela Gonzales-Torres Hopes to Bring International Solidarity to the U.S. House
DSAâs choice in a high-profile California congressional race hopes to build internationalism â understood as âsolidarity between working people across bordersâ â into her service in the U.S. House, should she be elected in November.
Los Angeles DSA and DSA National have endorsed Angela Gonzales-Torres in her race to represent Californiaâs 34th congressional district. The run-off election against embattled incumbent U.S. Rep. Jimmy Gomez will be one of the highest-profile DSA challenges on the ballot for the Nov. 3 general election. Due to Californiaâs jungle primary system, both candidates in the general will appear on the Democratic ballot line.
Whither My Democratic Party?
In the current political environment, Iâm struggling with an extreme case of what psychologists call âcognitive dissonance.â Put simply, half of me is praying for a Democratic takeover of the House and Senate; and the other half is suffering fitful sleeplessness that the Democratic Socialist Alliance (DSA) and its fellow travelers may become the dominant voice in my once beloved Party.

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
German activists block arms factories over weapons exports to Israel
Pro-Palestinian activists blocked entrances to several German arms manufacturing sites on Tuesday, protesting the countryâs continued weapons exports to Israel, Anadolu reports.
The coordinated sit-ins were organized by the group Peacefully Against Genocide.
Protesters targeted multiple locations of weapons manufacturers, including Rheinmetall facilities and a General Dynamics site.
In Berlin, demonstrators staged a sit-in in front of Rheinmetallâs plant in Wedding.
Gaza death toll nears 75,000
Palestinian health authorities said Monday that Israeli attacks in Gaza in the past 24 hours killed 5 people and injured 22.
Bild published pro-Netanyahu disinformation. Where is the outcry?
The so-called âBibileaksâ scandal has caused a firestorm in Israel in recent months. After it emerged that classified material was leaked from the Israeli military to a spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then manipulated and passed to foreign media outlets â in an apparent attempt to influence the Israeli publicâs perception of the ceasefire negotiations, while bypassing the military censor â the spokesperson and a military reservist were arrested in November and face charges that could carry significant prison sentences.
In the UK, meanwhile, there has been a major public outcry against the Jewish Chronicle after it was revealed â in part through reporting by +972 Magazine â that the newspaper had published entirely false material via this pipeline, causing several of its leading writers to quit in protest. Yet in Germany, where the countryâs biggest newspaper, Bild, similarly published misinformation fed to it by the Netanyahu aide, there has been very little inquest at all.
Berlin: Merz warnt SPD und GrĂŒne vor LinksbĂŒndnis
Merz sagte, die moralischen MaĂstĂ€be in Deutschland gerieten âlangsam ins Rutschenâ. Die CDU werde sich damit nicht abfinden und auch das angehende BĂŒndnis von SPD und GrĂŒnen mit der Linken in Berlin infrage stellen.
In Richtung von SPD und GrĂŒnen fragte der Kanzler, ob sie âwirklich und ernsthaft mit einer solchen Partei weitere KoalitionsgesprĂ€che fĂŒhrenâ wollten. Wer die politische Mitte stĂ€rken und die Demokratie schĂŒtzen wolle, dĂŒrfe mit solchen âLinksradikalenâ keine GesprĂ€che fĂŒhren und schon gar keine Koalition eingehen, sagte Merz.
Trumps Drohung: HĂ€nde hoch, Diesel her!
(October 1, 2026)
Alles nur, weil Trump seine Umfragewerte mit einem kurzen MilitĂ€r-Quickie im Iran pushen wollte. Das jedoch löste eine destruktive Kettenreaktion sondergleichen aus, wie ein Elefant, nein, eine Atombombe im Porzellanladen. Diese Ăra wird in ein paar Jahren zumindest gute Serien auf Netflix oder HBO erzeugen, und man wird sich fragen, wie zum Teufel ein Mensch wie Trump je an die Macht kommen konnte.
Studie zur deutschen Nahostberichterstattung
Ein Forschungsteam der Freien UniversitĂ€t Berlin hat untersucht, wie HandlungsspielrĂ€ume bei der Berichterstattung ĂŒber den Nahostkonflikt von Medienschaffenden wahrgenommen werden. Diese Studie ist im Oktober 2026 als Arbeitspapier des CeMIL erschienen.
FĂŒr die Studie befragten Prof. Dr. Carola Richter, Dr. Jannis Julien Grimm und Nina Moya Schreieder im Mai und Juni 2026 Journalist:innen, die fĂŒr deutsche Medien zur Nahost-Region und damit verbundenen Themen berichten. Von fast 600 systematisch ausgewĂ€hlten Journalist:innen nahmen rund 30 Prozent an der anonymen Online-Befragung teil â eine vergleichsweise hohe RĂŒcklaufquote. âOffensichtlich gab es ein groĂes BedĂŒrfnis bei mit dem Thema befassten Journalist:innen, sich zu Ă€uĂernâ, sagt Prof. Dr. Carola Richter.
Drang zur SelbstÂzensur im Gaza-Krieg
Es ging dabei um das Klima nach dem 7.â Oktober 2023 â das Datum markiert den Angriff palĂ€stinensischer Gruppen auf israelisches MilitĂ€r und Zivilist*innen mit 1200 Toten und den Beginn von Israels Gaza-Krieg mit inzwischen mindestens 74.000 Toten, darunter 21.000 Kinder.
An der anonymen Online-Befragung beteiligten sich 179 von 597â gezielt angeschriebenen Journalist*innen, 145â davon fĂŒllten den Fragebogen vollstĂ€ndig aus.
Israeli groups receive testimonies of 22 Palestinian prisoners shot at close range in Israeli detention
JERUSALEM, October 15, 2026 (WAFA) â 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 â22 testimonies and reports from attorneys, prisonersâ families, and released prisoners point to the dangerous practice of firing rubber- or plastic-like bullets at close range inside prison wings.â
The testimonies span seven detention facilities, including Ofer, Ganot, Ktziâot, 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.
Israelâs Genocide in Gaza Persists One Year into the So-Called âCeasefireâ | Report
(October 8, 2026)
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 analysis weâre releasing today exposes Israelâs continued prevention of any meaningful recovery of Gazaâs healthcare system.
Gaza death toll rises to 74,396 since start of Israeli assault
GAZA, October 15, 2026 (WAFA) â The death toll from Israel‘s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip has risen to 74,396, with 175,449 people injured, since October 7, 2023, according to medical sources.
Health authorities reported that hospitals across the Gaza Strip received four fatalities and nine injured people over the past 24 hours.
Report: Netanyahu pressed Trump to renew Iran fighting before election; PMO denies
The US officials tell the network they came away with the impression that Netanyahu wanted to launch an attack before the elections, with Netanyahu citing concerning steps by Iran in the nuclear arena.
Even though Trump has said publicly that he will not resume attacks on Iran before the US midterms, the IDF and CENTCOM are both at a high state of readiness and are completing preparations in case Trump changes his mind, the report quotes unnamed sources saying.
Beteiligung der Marine an EUNAVFOR Aspides im Roten Meer soll fortgefĂŒhrt werden
(October 9, 2026)
Am 8. Oktober 2026 haben die parlamentarischen Beratungen ĂŒber die Fortsetzung der Beteiligung bewaffneter deutscher StreitkrĂ€fte an der von der EuropĂ€ischen Union gefĂŒhrten Operation European Union Naval Force (EUNAVFOR) Aspides begonnen.
Daten und Fakten
– Die personelle Obergrenze soll unverĂ€ndert bis zu 350 Soldatinnen und Soldaten betragen.
– Das Mandat soll bis zum 31. Oktober 2027 verlĂ€ngert werden.
– EUNAVFOR Aspides (âSchildeâ) ist eine Operation der EuropĂ€ischen Union. Der Einsatz wurde am 8. Februar 2024 von der EU beschlossen. Die Bundesregierung sprach sich fĂŒr eine deutsche Beteiligung am 16. Februar 2024 aus und das Parlament gab am 23. Februar 2024 grĂŒnes Licht.
– Der deutsche Beitrag zum Einsatz umfasst derzeit Stabspersonal im Hauptquartier im griechischen Larissa, sowie auf dem FĂŒhrungsschiff der Operation.

Netanyahu denounces Riyadh attack, calls for a region „united against threats“
„Terrorism targets innocent people and seeks to spread fear and instability. It must be confronted with resolve,“ said Netanyahu in a statement posted to X. „Israel looks forward to a strong Middle Eastâone that stands united against threats, protects its people, and builds a future of security, cooperation, and prosperity for all the peoples of our region.“
Thomas Fazi: Die BrĂŒsseler Tyrannei
Die EuropĂ€ische Union wurde auf der Grundlage von Versprechen von Frieden, Freiheit, Wohlstand und strategischer Autonomie gegrĂŒndet. WofĂŒr 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 europĂ€ischen Integration, selbst in seinen VorlĂ€uferformen 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 einzudĂ€mmen versucht hatten. Dieser Prozess erreichte mit der Unterzeichnung des Maastricht-Vertrags einen Wendepunkt, der den Neoliberalismus effektiv in das GefĂŒge der EuropĂ€ischen Union einbettete. Auf diese Weise wurden die Mitgliedstaaten in so etwas wie Kolonien von BrĂŒssel und Frankfurt verwandelt.
We Are All Living at the Mercy of Donald Trumpâs Brain
(August 18, 2026)
And in truth, whatever happens as far as Iran is concerned (or for that matter Greenland) by the time this piece appears, who among us wonât have long known that, with such a president, we simply couldnât be in a stranger, more happenstantial, less predictable universe? For all I (we) know, by the time it comes out or anytime thereafter, âourâ president could be doing more or less anything, including, say, kidnapping the first secretary of the communist party and leader of Cuba, Miguel DĂaz-Canel BermĂșdez. After all, if he could do so for Venezuelaâs leader, why not Cubaâs?
The truth is that Donald Trumpâs brain, returned to the White House by 49.8% of American voters in 2024, should make us all anxious (even them). At any moment, any thought might enter it and the next thing you know… well, unfortunately, you already do know that, whatever it might be, weâre not likely to know until it smacks us all in the face!
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 VerrÀter 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 europĂ€ischen Institutionen. TatsĂ€chlich hat sich die einstige Kluft zwischen diesen beiden Fraktionen seit Jahren stetig verringert. Die jĂŒngsten Kriegshandlungen in Nahost machen diese AnnĂ€herung noch deutlicher sichtbar. Beide Seiten sind nur allzu gerne bereit, ihre Rolle als Untergebene in der globalen Hierarchie zu spielen.
BND und Verfassungsschutz: So weit sollen die Befugnisse der Nachrichtendienste reichen
(September 24, 2026)
Zudem werden Analyse- und Ăberwachungsbefugnisse ausgebaut, beispielsweise mit Blick auf den Einsatz kĂŒnstlicher Intelligenz, Speicherfristen oder die Ăbermittlung von Informationen an andere Behörden.
(…)
Im Fall des BND heiĂt es im Entwurf, er soll bei einer „spezifischen GefĂ€hrdungslage“ auf Ziele „einwirken“ dĂŒrfen. Gemeint sind beispielsweise Hackbacks, also Gegenangriffe im Netz oder Manipulationen von Bauteilen.
Im Fall des Verfassungsschutzes sind einige konkrete MaĂnahmen bereits im Entwurf aufgezĂ€hlt, etwa das „VerfĂ€lschen“ von Informationen oder die BeeintrĂ€chtigung von „Tatmitteln“.
Union und Linke: Mehr als ein „Pocket Call“
(May 7, 2025)
Kurz nachdem Friedrich Merz im ersten Wahlgang gescheitert ist, erhĂ€lt die ehemalige Chefin der Linkspartei Janine Wissler einen Anruf. Alexander Dobrindt ist am Apparat, bis vor kurzem CSU-Landesgruppenchef. Das sei jetzt kein „Pocket Call“, also kein Taschenanruf aus Versehen, gibt er Wissler zu verstehen, er mĂŒsse dringend mit ihr sprechen……
Iran denies involvement in suspected plot targeting UK airbase
The embassy said the claims were âunfounded and maliciousâ and criticised British individuals and media outlets for attempting to link Iran to the incident at RAF Fairford.
The embassy also threatened legal action to âsafeguard the rights and interests of the country and its peopleâ over what it described as misleading and damaging media reports.
