THE FREEDOM FLOTILLA SAILS AGAIN

(September 2, 2026)

The violence and torture that Israel inflicted on hundreds of flotilla volunteers this past spring, including severe beatings, repeated tasering, and sexual assault, has not deterred the FFC, just as Israel’s murder of 10 flotilla activists aboard the Mavi Marmara, in 2010 did not stop the movement. If anything, action is needed now more than ever. While much of the world has moved on from Gaza, believing a supposed “ceasefire” has ended the genocide, Israel continues to kill Palestinians in Gaza at will; use its blockade to restrict and manipulate the entry of the food, medicine, and fuel that a besieged population depends on to survive; and deny Palestinians their fundamental right to freedom.

The new mission involves a port-to-port voyage throughout Europe, bringing together human rights advocates, union activists, elected representatives, journalists, medical professionals, and other supporters of Palestinian freedom.

You Could Be Next: Trump’s Gestapo Tactics Are Getting Worse

You might even be murdered, without a trial finding you guilty of anything. In addition to Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota last January, ICE agents have murdered two others just this summer.

One was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, murdered by ICE in Houston on July 7, 2026. Salgado Araujo had lived in the US for decades. ICE agents pursued him in unmarked cars and shot him while he was driving a work crew to a job site. The Department of Homeland Security claims Salgado Araujo tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against an officer, but witnesses dispute this account.

The other was Johan Sebastian Durán Guerrero, murdered by ICE on July 13, 2026, in Biddeford, Maine. Durán Guerrero was a 25-year-old immigrant from Colombia. Agents pursued him while he was driving to work. The Department of Homeland Security claims its agent feared for public safety as Durán Guerrero tried to drive away, but elected officials and family members dispute this account, noting that Durán Guerrero was not an intended target of the immigration operation.

None of these murders has been fully investigated.

The Guardian view on Israel’s death penalty: capital punishment is always wrong. This new law is doubly so

(March 31, 2026)

Execution will be the default for Palestinians found guilty of lethal attacks deemed as terrorist acts in the West Bank’s military courts – which have a conviction rate of around 96%. Amnesty International says that the system routinely relies on evidence extracted through torture and abuse. The death sentence will be imposed even if prosecutors do not seek it. Convictions need no longer be unanimous. There is no possibility of pardon. Executions must take place within 90 days. Within Israeli civilian courts, the new law imposes the death penalty for deliberately killing a person with the intention of “negating the existence of the State of Israel”. Life imprisonment can only substitute in unspecified “special” circumstances.

There could hardly be a more shocking contrast with the near-total impunity of Israelis killing Palestinians in the West Bank, amid increasing – and increasingly systematic – state-backed settler violence.

Israel’s Ben Gvir boasts of planned execution facility for Palestinian prisoners

“In this place, the terrorists will be executed,” Ben Gvir said in a video posted on Instagram, where he has around 150,000 followers.

In the video, Ben Gvir points towards what appears to be an active construction site and says the complex will include “viewing chambers where crime victims will be able to come and watch” Palestinians being hanged.

„We are fulfilling what we promised,“ the minister added.

Extremist Israeli minister calls for killing ’30 to 40′ Palestinians in Gaza each night

“It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister,“ he said. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night,” said the far-right Israeli minister.

“Not just those who pose an immediate threat, there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people,” added Ben-Gvir.

Ben-Gvir also promised Braslavski that he would seek to allow him to personally take part if prisoners are executed under Israel’s recently enacted death penalty law for Palestinians convicted in military courts of deadly attacks on Israelis.

Israeli minister calls for hanging Palestinian prisoners ‚one by one‘

Speaking with former Israeli captive Rom Braslavski, Ben-Gvir said that hanging would be the primary method of execution under the death penalty legislation he has been actively promoting.

„I will do the impossible when the time comes,“ the minister remarked during the conversation. „I promise you that I will do everything in my power and turn the world upside down to make this happen“.

In addition to his comments on the death penalty, Ben-Gvir expressed satisfaction regarding the harsher conditions Palestinian prisoners are currently facing within the Israeli penal system.

Mysterious Attacks on Ecuadorian Fishers Raise Fears of Expanded US Boat Bombings

According to the Times, it was registered to a private company whose address was a UPS store mailbox in Virginia, deepening the mystery over who was operating it—and for whom.

“It would be one thing if the US didn’t have an overt maritime strike campaign, but they do, and they’re posting snuff films of boats going up in flames regularly,” Brian Finucane, a former State Department lawyer who specializes in the laws of war, told the Times.

“And that’s what makes this even more squirrelly,” added Finucane, now a senior adviser in the US Program at the International Crisis Group. “Who are these people that are operating, and under what authority? And they are using a UPS store as their company address? Come on.”

After Israel killed her three sons, she found hope in a newborn. Then he was killed too

„On the day he was killed, he was restless in the afternoon and wanted to go outside. I told his sisters how much I wished I could take him out, but there are no places left for children to play.“

„He spent his whole life indoors. Even his cousins had been killed in Israeli air strikes, so he had no one to play with.“

Anschlag auf den CSD: Dobrindt stuft Tat als „islamistischen Terroranschlag“ ein

Am Sonntagnachmittag trat Bundesinnenminister Alexander Dobrindt vor die Presse und stufte die Tat als „islamistischen Terroranschlag“ ein. Auch die Ermittler gehen von einem islamistischen Terroranschlag aus.

Laut CSU-Chef Markus Söder zielte der Angriff auf die freiheitlich-demokratische Grundordnung in Deutschland. „Er ist auch ein bewusster Anschlag auf die Freiheitsidee unseres Landes. Und deswegen muss auch mit aller Härte dagegen vorgegangen werden“, sagte der bayerische Ministerpräsident im ZDF-Sommerinterview.

Angriff beim Berliner CSD: So schildern Polizei und Feuerwehr die Nacht im Tiergarten

„Die alles entscheidende Frage, die uns momentan umtreibt, ist: Wer war das und wie hat er das geschafft, hier reinzukommen?“

Florian Nath, Pressesprecher der Berliner Polizei

Auch das Motiv sei bislang unklar.

Polizeisprecher: „akribische“ Sicherheitsvorbereitungen

„Wir sind alle ziemlich betroffen hier“, sagte Nath. „Wir haben dieses Event zusammen mit dem Veranstalter akribisch vorbereitet. Wir haben unglaublich viele Kräfte im Einsatz.“ Damit Fahrzeuge nicht auf das Veranstaltungsgelände fahren können, seien umfangreiche Zufahrtssperren eingerichtet worden.

Der Täter müsse an einer noch unbekannten Stelle unbemerkt in den Tiergarten gefahren sein. Nun werde untersucht, wie das Fahrzeug auf das Gelände kam, warum der Fahrzeugführer die Menschen anfuhr und vor allem, wo dieser nun ist.

Prosecutor Investigating U.S. Boat Strikes and Claims of Torture Was Murdered in Ecuador

(July 23, 2026)

QUITO, Ecuador—Alexandra Bravo, the prosecutor assigned to investigate U.S. strikes on three Ecuadorian boats and the 36 survivors’ subsequent accounts of torture and kidnapping, was shot dead in the coastal city of Manta last month. According to police, on June 14 a hitman aboard a black motorcycle opened fire on Bravo as she and her sister were leaving a café at about 11 a.m. Bravo’s sister, who jumped to protect her, was also killed in the attack.

Upon arriving at the crime scene, officers say they found five 9mm shell casings and Bravo’s injured driver, but no sign of the police detail that had been assigned to protect her.

Rare Survivors of Pacific Boat Strikes Allege U.S. Forces Kidnapped and Tortured Them

(April 21, 2026)

Under right-wing president Daniel Noboa, Ecuador has become a critical U.S. proxy in the region; described as a “North American colony” by political analyst and former advisor to Ecuador’s Secretary of International Relations Daniel Granja.

The military regime, which rules by martial law, has stonewalled all inquiries into the whereabouts of the fishermen. “They slammed the door in our face,” Angelica Mero told Drop Site News.

The United Nations Committee on Forced Disappearances, which was already investigating Noboa’s armed forces prior to this incident, has issued a letter demanding answers on La Fiorella. Opposition lawmaker Mónica Palacios echoed those calls, announcing she will bring this case directly to the U.N.

Now, 36 survivors of two Pacific attacks fitting a similar profile alleged that they were abducted and tortured by American forces and taken by boat all the way to El Salvador before being returned to Ecuador. Drop Site spoke to multiple survivors and attorneys from both boats.

‘Destroy Gaza including kidnapped soldiers’ – leaked clip again proves Israel’s Hannibal Directive

(June 29, 2026)

The clip was shot very early on the morning of the raid. We know this because Israeli forces conducted ‘Hannibal Directive attacks’ on its own people, on average around three times an hour, from just after 6am that day until after 9pm. The Hannibal order was clarified as “kill anything that moves” – hundreds of Israelis were killed, including most of those slain at the ‘Nova’ music festival.

Israeli media admit this. Israeli military figures have admitted killing an “immense” number of their own people. Israel’s then-defence minister, wanted war criminal Yo’av Gallant, admitted it – and said he wished it had been used more. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly even tried to have one specific captured soldier killed before his release from Gaza to prevent a ceasefire.

UK politicians and media continue to keep silent about it – and even attack those who expose it.

Dieser Artikel ist eine erweiterte Neuauflage eines Artikels zur Hannibal-Direktive, der 2024 auf den NachDenkSeiten erschienen ist.

Das Video wurde offenbar in den Morgenstunden im israelischen Polizei-Kommandozentrum in Jerusalem aufgenommen. Zu sehen ist ein Gespräch zwischen dem damaligen israelischen Polizeichef Kobi Shabtai und anderen hochrangigen Vertretern von Polizei und Militär. Dort fällt der entscheidende Satz. „Nein in Gaza. Zerstört alles. Zusammen mit den entführten Soldaten.“ Kurze Zeit später betritt der damalige Minister für Öffentliche Sicherheit, Itamar Ben-Gvir, den Raum und unterbindet das weitere Filmen.

Assassination of Al-Arabiya journalist highlights tensions in southern Yemen

(June 30, 2026)

At the time of writing, no group from Yemen‘s fragmented political landscape has claimed responsibility.

The Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), backed by Saudi Arabia and based in Aden, condemned the attack. Salem Ahmed Al-Khanbashi, the governor of Hadramaut and the general who led the military recapture of the region from the STC in early January, ordered an investigation. Prime Minister Shaya Mohsen al-Zindani directed the Interior Ministry and security agencies to identify those responsible.

(…)

The assassination of Mohammed Aydah, whether or not it is ultimately linked to STC remnants, shows how much remains unsettled in the territory Saudi Arabia now formally controls.

„Whoever targeted Mohammed wanted to silence him, but it was also a threat to all other journalists. At the end of the day, they won‘t be able to silence everyone if everyone is speaking up and everyone is active,“ said Shiban.

ICE officer „fearing for public safety“ shot fleeing man, DHS says after hours of silence

An ICE officer fired his weapon “fearing for public safety” as the victim of Monday’s fatal shooting, in a vehicle, “attempted to flee the scene,” the Department of Homeland Security said in its first official statement nearly 12 hours after the incident in Maine.

The department did not share details on why the officer believed the man was a public safety risk.

The man was not the target of the immigration enforcement operation, according to the office of Maine Sen. Angus King, citing a conversation with DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.

Israeli settlers attack journalists, including CNN, on the anniversary of deadly West Bank beating

This attack on journalists comes just days after US Rep. Ro Khanna was detained by settlers near the village of Turmus Ayya in the West Bank. The village has a population of thousands of Palestinian-Americans who have come under repeated attack by settlers in the area.

Khanna visited the village to show solidarity with American citizens who have told CNN they feel forgotten by their government.

“I saw the arrogance in the eyes of those settlers, 21- and 22-year-olds with guns, laughing that they had detained us, the arrogance of those young IDF soldiers that my tax dollars are funding, having no respect for the fact that they were detaining Americans, no respect that there was an American congressperson in that bus, and laughing when our translator told them that there are Americans there and the American embassy is concerned,” Khanna told Reuters.

What we know so far about the fatal ICE shooting of a Mexican father in Houston

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have said an agent opened fire after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old Mexican national, rammed a law enforcement vehicle and refused to follow verbal commands during a a traffic stop that was part of a “targeted operation” Tuesday.

But attorney Hugo Balderas-Ibarra said three men detained during the operation told him the version of events presented by ICE is false.

“At no point did they use the van to ram into the ICE agents and at no point were these ICE agents’ lives ever in any danger,” Balderas-Ibarra said in a video posted to his Instagram.
