Iran objects to revised terms in draft deal
May 24, 2026 ~22:00 ET
from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
Less than a day after #US President Donald #Trump said an agreement with Tehran was “largely negotiated”, signs of friction have emerged over key elements of the proposed deal.
According to #AlJazeera, a source familiar with the talks said #Iran believes Washington is backing away from earlier understandings on the mechanism for unfreezing Iranian assets and the scope of a ceasefire framework for #Lebanon.
The source said the draft agreement includes provisions related to a ceasefire in Lebanon, but #Israel is reportedly pressing the United States to include language allowing #Israeli forces to carry out military operations in response to what it considers threats.
According to the source, Tehran has informed mediators that it will not sign the agreement under those terms, raising new questions about whether a final deal can be reached.

or the last six weeks, the #UK's #GreenParty has been the victim of a sustained smear campaign.
Leader #ZackPolanski has been accused of being an #antisemite, a liar, a fabricator and a hypocrite.
His supporters have been painted as crazed Islamists obsessed by foreign policy at the expense of day-to-day issues.
4 national newspapers published cartoons of #Britain's only #Jewish leader, which have been widely criticised as #antisemitic.
...yesterday, it became obvious that the attempt to destroy #Polanski and the #Greens had failed.

[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Amid a U.S.-imposed #oil #blockade on Cuba that has caused widespread fuel shortages, yesterday thousands of students and workers took over #Havana's #Malecón in a pro-government rally on bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards and electric vehicles.
The gathering celebrated the anniversaries of two Cuban youth organizations.
“This march is a demonstration that we are standing firm,” said one student.

#Cuba Patients Are Dying Because of US Blockade, Doctors Say
Cuban health care was once the pride of the island. Now the #US #oil blockade is upending even basic #medical care.

The #blockade’s effects are cascading through the system. #Hospitals are canceling surgeries and sending patients home because doctors and nurses can’t commute to work. Clinics are struggling to administer treatments like chemotherapy and dialysis because of power outages.
Many ambulances are parked because drivers can’t find gas. Pharmacies are largely empty because the virtually bankrupt state is struggling to buy medicine.
Production of medicine has been mostly halted because factories run on diesel. Vaccine makers are searching for ingredients because flights that once carried them are canceled because of a lack of jet fuel. And refrigerated vaccine stocks could soon spoil if the blackouts continue.

#ICE agents have been turning up in cars around Somali-owned businesses and schools that teach children from immigrant backgrounds. Rightwing so-called “influencers”, including leaders at #TurningPointUSA, have followed suit.
Since then, Somali-owned businesses have struggled to attract customers and schools have closed due to low attendance fueled by the presence of federal agents and anti- #immigrant provocateurs.
Today, the #Somali community in #Columbus, which numbers around 60,000 people, is still reeling from the fallout.

When families were finally directed to a gathering point to receive the bodies of their children, he slowly moved forward. When asked if he needed help, he shook his head silently and waited for his daughter’s body to be brought out.

Israeli soldiers fired nearly a thousand bullets during the massacre of 15 Palestinian aid workers in southern #Gaza on March 23, 2025—with at least eight shots fired at point blank range—according to a joint investigation by the independent research groups Earshot and Forensic Architecture. The report, based on eyewitness testimony and audio and visual analysis, shows that a number of aid workers were executed and that at least one was shot from as close as one meter away.
It immediately triggered international condemnation and was described as “one of the darkest moments” of the war by PRCS.

The spokesperson pointed out that the UN General Assembly has long called for an end to the #blockade. Guterres is urging all parties to pursue dialogue, to respect international law and to avoid further escalation.

In #Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the surrounding suburbs, tens of thousands of #immigrant families are relying on churches and mutual aid for food and financial support. People have not left their homes for weeks. Local schools have reverted to Covid-era online measures to support immigrant students too terrified to come to class. Those students who still attend in person are transported by #US-born neighbors and family friends. Campuses at all grade levels are patrolled by volunteers in fluorescent vests, an effort aimed at deterring federal agents’ practice of targeting parent pick-up and drop-off sites.

Judge Ana Reyes did not have to go far to discover Homeland Security Secretary #KristiNoem’s animus toward #Haitians. She just had to read her social media feed. “I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches and entitlement junkies,” Noem wrote on X in December. She added, “WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”
Reyes, a Federal District Court judge in Washington, cited Noem’s post at the very beginning of a blistering opinion issued Monday night preventing the administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, at least for now. That status was due to expire on Tuesday, rendering more than 350,000 Haitians who are now legally living and working in America #undocumented overnight.

"It was only a matter of time before this happened," the resident said, noting a drastic change in the behaviour of Israeli forces in recent months.
"They’re here almost every night," he added. "[The Israeli soldiers] usually just set up positions, wait for people to get angry, act aggressively and brazenly - and then shoot."

#UPF is also rapidly displacing fresh #food in the diets of children and adults on every continent, and is associated with an increased risk of a dozen health conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and depression.
The sharp rise in UPF intake worldwide is being spurred by profit-driven corporations using a range of aggressive tactics to drive consumption, skewer scientific debate and prevent regulation, the review of evidence suggests.

“We may have survived physically, but we haven't survived mentally.”
Five Gaza journalists reflect on the toll of the genocide as the ceasefire takes effect.
from #DropSiteNews
Oct 10, 2025
The ceasefire in #Gaza went into effect at 12 p.m. on Friday following the announcement of an agreement by Palestinian factions on Wednesday evening and the Israeli cabinet approving the deal on Thursday night. The bombs have stopped and Israeli troops have withdrawn to the agreed upon lines, retaining control of 53% of Gaza. Tens of thousands of Palestinians returned to the north today, making their way along the coastal Al-Rashid road.
While many Palestinians in Gaza are celebrating the deal, the elation is also tempered by fear that #Israel will restart the genocide whenever it wants.
Drop Site contacted five Palestinian journalists—four in Gaza and one in exile—to get their reactions.
[Responses are from Thursday.]

In the weeks after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, he has become a target of right-wing hate, accused of being a part of the movement he studied. Jack Posobiec, a right-wing influencer, called Dr. Bray a “domestic terrorist professor” on X. The #Rutgers chapter of #TurningPointUSA then circulated a petition accusing Dr. Bray of being an “outspoken, well-known #antifa member” and called for him to be fired.
“My role in this is as a professor,” Dr. Bray, an assistant teaching professor at Rutgers, said..

Israel says it is opening “gates of Hell” as it demolishes high-rise in Gaza City, Hamas posts new video of Israeli captives as it calls on Trump to force a deal
Drop Site Daily: September 5, 2025
from #DropSiteNews
69 #Palestinians were killed and 422 injured in the past 24 hours. Israeli Defense Minister says the "gates of hell" are opening in #Gaza as the Israeli military destroys a high-rise building in a densely populated part of Gaza City. #Israel has killed more than 19,000 children in Gaza, at a rate of one child every 52 minutes. The Israeli army says it now controls 40% of Gaza City and says it will escalate the offensive in the coming days. President Donald #Trump insists on a deal where “all hostages are returned immediately,” and #Hamas reaffirms their agreement to this deal. #US sanctions three leading Palestinian NGOs.

Over the past few weeks, as reports of starvation and mass killings in #Gaza have spread, a significant number of clergy across the spectrum of #Jewish observance and affiliation have signed a series of high-profile, carefully crafted public letters criticizing the #Israeli government.

#KilmarAbregoGarcia detained by #ICE during Baltimore check-in
from #NPR #NationalPublicRadio [USA]
August 25, 2025 915am ET
#AbregoGarcia on Monday filed a lawsuit challenging his current detention and any deportation to Uganda or any other country until a trial is held at an immigration court.
In a statement after his detention, Kristi Noem, the secretary of the #US #DHS, said he is being processed "for removal to Uganda."
At the core of Abrego Garcia's case is the question of due process under President #Trump's aggressive crackdown on undocumented immigrants in the US. The man was arrested in March and sent to a notorious prison in #ElSalvador despite a 2019 court order barring his #deportation to the Central American country because of the "well-founded fear" of gang persecution there. The Trump administration conceded his removal was an "administrative error" and returned him to the US in June to face criminal charges.

Israel Bombs Gaza Hospital, Kills 5 Journalists from AP, Al Jazeera, Reuters, NBC
from #DemocracyNow!
Interview with Muhammad Shehada
Palestinian writer and analyst
August 25, 2025
[contains chilling details of the methodical Israeli attack]
#Israeli airstrikes on Nasser Hospital in southern #Gaza killed at least 20 people Monday, including five #Palestinian journalists. Eyewitnesses say Israel carried out a “double-tap” strike on the hospital. A drone initially hit the hospital’s roof, killing one journalist setting up a live stream, and then another strike hit journalists and rescue workers who were responding to the initial strike. “#Israel knew exactly who was there,” says Palestinian writer and analyst #MuhammadShehada. “Israel has killed 244 journalists, by far surpassing all 20 years of the war in Vietnam or all six years of the Second World War.”

EPA Is ‘100 Percent’ Union-Busting, Workers Say
After ending their collective-bargaining agreements, the #EPA ordered employees to seek prior approval for protected #union activities on non-duty time.
August 25, 2025
According to an internal advisory obtained by the Prospect, the agency has resorted to citing U.S. Criminal Code as justification for prior authorization, specifically referencing “the representational conflicts of interest statute.” The statute is designed to prevent conflicts of interest emerging from outside employment, whether paid or unpaid, but the EPA appears to be using it to restrict federal #workers from participating in union-protected activities. In the agency’s plane of reality, building support for improved working conditions without permission could be a criminal offense. Describing the agency’s conduct, Chen said “it’s 100 percent union-busting.”

“It will be live on YouTube and lots of other platforms and channels, and that inquiry will be hearing voices from people in Gaza, in the #WestBank, aid workers, journalists, lawyers, international legal experts.”

#BELGRADE, SERBIA—On August 12, 2025..., several hundred people took to the streets to protest against the repression by the regime of President Aleksandar Vučić. That evening, pro-government supporters attacked demonstrators, throwing stones and frozen water bottles and targeting them with fireworks. The protestors retaliated, throwing objects back at Vučić’s supporters.
These events sparked outrage, in part because the police stood by and allowed the violent attacks by Vučić’s supporters against the demonstrators, and on August 13, people in several Serbian cities protested... The police responded with force, and since then, clashes between protestors and police have continued across Serbia.

Activism you can feel: How pro-Palestine youth are responding to online censorship
Faced with digital fatigue and heightened surveillance, Gen Z and millennial organisers are turning to zines, posters, stickers and embroidery to express solidarity with #Palestine
from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
Published date: 21 August 2025 12:53 BST
When Israel initiated plans to evict #Palestinians from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem to make way for illegal settlers, millions of young people around the world got involved in a high-profile social media campaign to raise awareness.
Using the hashtag #SaveSheikhJarrah, more than 40 million people joined in, forming part of a wave of online organising that set the stage for a new era of pro-Palestine digital activism.
That trend continued as #Israel launched its ongoing genocide in #Gaza in October 2023 with activists dedicating their Instagram feeds and TikTok reels to spreading awareness of #Israeli atrocities.

Maine oyster farmer wants to upend #Democratic politics with #Senate bid

By Holly Otterbein

Platner is running on several progressive tenets — though he rejects the label “liberal” — and his announcement sets up the possibility of a clash between Democratic Party factions over generational change, Israel and other issues. In an interview with #POLITICO, Platner said he would not support Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader if Democrats managed to take back control in the 2026 midterm elections.
#Platner embraced a number of progressive causes..., calling for universal health care, saying “the enemy is the oligarchy,” and asking, “Why are we funding endless wars and bombing children?” He also zeroed in on high prices, a top concern of voters and one that helped fuel #Mamdani’s rise in NYC.

[probably the most critical article of Israel I have seen in the #NYT]
Eleven days ago, #Israel assassinated a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, a young man who had suddenly become the face and voice of the desperate people of his homeland, #Gaza.
In gripping dispatches on #AlJazeera and his social media feeds, that journalist, #AnasAlSharif, documented the relentless #Israeli assault on civilians, breaking down on camera as he reported on the gathering famine. [...] He, four of his colleagues from Al Jazeera and at least one freelance journalist were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a press tent...
The Israeli military made no attempt to obscure this brazen strike on civilians, which is a war crime.

Airdropped Aid Is Crushing Starving People in Gaza
Human rights groups have stressed that it’s safer to provide aid by land. Israel is killing #Palestinians by dropping it from the sky.
Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi
August 22 2025, 6:30am
As #Israel’s siege approaches the two-year mark, on-the-ground access to food and other crucial supplies is mostly controlled by the Israel-backed and #US-run #Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, whose aid sites have become shooting grounds where the #Israeli army kills hungry civilians.[...]
The aid has itself become a weapon in the literal sense: At least 124 people have been struck by falling aid packages since October 2023, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office, and 23 of them killed. #TheIntercept spoke to more than 10 people who were injured by or witnessed injuries from falling aid packages for this story.

Here is a t-shirt I just came up with, produced and sold by a vendor on Etsy (I get no money from it). It's 2-sided, so you can be a human billboard. 😉 (Or you could order it special with one side.)

Community rallies around #LA teen detained by #ICE while walking dog
People attend rally for Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz, 18, arrested in Van Nuys in what family call kidnapping

Tue 19 Aug 2025 21.22 EDT
Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz was supposed to be starting his senior year of high school at Reseda charter high school this month. But just days after his 18th birthday, masked Ice agents detained him as he walking his dog in the #LosAngeles neighborhood of Van Nuys in what his family described as a kidnapping.
The agents allowed his dog to run loose, and treated Guerrero-Cruz like a criminal and joked while arresting him, his family said in a GoFundMe.

Hamas Continues Its Battle Against #UK Terror Designation
On Tuesday, Hamas formally accused the #British Home Secretary of improperly subordinating her authority to “Zionism and the Apartheid State of Israel.”
from #DropSiteNews
Jeremy Scahill
Aug 19, 2025
In a six-page legal filing, lawyers for Hamas argued that Home Secretary Yvette Cooper “acted with an improper motive,” when she rejected #Hamas’s April 9, 2025, appeal of the terror designation, saying she failed to give it proper review or engage its legal arguments because of “her support for, and belief in, #Zionism and the #Apartheid State of #Israel, and/or her related and racist hostility towards non-Jewish #Palestinians.” The lawyers charged that Cooper had “fettered her discretion by subordinating her decision to a prior, longstanding, and inflexible government policy of support for Zionism—a racist and fascist ideology.”

CIUDAD DE NUEVA YORK, 25 de julio de 2025 — Como parte de un Día Internacional de Acción, más de mil personas se manifestaron hoy frente a la sede de las Naciones Unidas (#ONU) para exigir “¡Dejen de matar de hambre a Gaza YA!”
La manifestación y la posterior marcha por el centro de Manhattan fueron organizadas por el capítulo local del Movimiento Juvenil Palestino (PYM, por sus siglas en inglés), con el apoyo de muchas organizaciones asociadas. La Voz Judía por la Paz (#JVP) jugó un papel importante, ya que el #PYM le pidió que movilizara a sus miembros y mantuviera un piquete antes del inicio de la manifestación.

Agonising heat wave hits Gaza amid widescale dehydration and famine
An outbreak of skin diseases is also spreading due to the sweltering weather and harsh displacement conditions
from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
By Mera Aladam
Published date: 15 August 2025 15:33 BST
The #UN's agency for #Palestinian refugees (#UNRWA) warned in a post on X that the scorching heat is "making an already desperate situation far worse".
The agency noted the limited water supply across the besieged enclave, as Israel continues its months-long blockade on the territory.
"Bombardments and forced displacement continue. With limited electricity and fuel, there is no relief from the extreme heat," it said. "There must be a ceasefire."
#Gaza is facing severe water shortages due to months of #Israel's attacks targeting water and sanitation infrastructure, including desalination plants and sewage systems.

DNC Leadership Pressured Gen Z Member to Kill Resolution on Banning Arms to Israel
Democrats say they need enthusiasm among young voters. They aren’t listening to what Gen Z wants.
from #TheIntercept
Matt Sledge
August 15 2025, 10:38 a.m.
When it comes to #Israel’s handling of the war on #Gaza, #Democrats are nearly united. Only 8 percent of party members support Israel’s military actions, according to a Gallup poll from last month.
A vote at the #Democratic National Committee meeting later this month could once again expose the yawning rift between the party’s base and its leaders, who are lining up to oppose a resolution against arms for Israel.

One of the Few Israelis with a Direct Line to Gazans Urges the Public to Confront ‘Extreme’ Horrors
[
The following was the lead article in the #Israeli daily Haaretz on August 7, 2025.
reprinted with an introduction by #WorldOutlook
August 11, 2025
“I read and translate testimonies of people who walk 7 kilometers each way in order lug a sack of flour weighing 30 kilos in this horrific heat. How can we even imagine that? The extreme heat is also playing a part.
“It’s terribly frightening because every time, you feel as if you’ve crossed another threshold from which it’s already impossible to return. For example, the erasure of #Gaza — there is no way back from that. What that means is, that even if the last soldier returns to Israel today and the Gaza Strip is opened to the world, we’re in a situation in which there is no way to exist in Gaza.”

At just 28 years old, Anas had emerged as the most recognized #Palestinian journalist still alive and reporting from #Gaza. He remained in the north from the beginning of #Israel’s onslaught of the enclave and became a near-constant presence on television and online, reporting almost every day on airstrikes, shelling, massacres, displacement, famine, death, and dismemberment—while relaying glimpses of hope and accounts of Palestinian resilience whenever he could.
Barely an hour before he was killed, al-Sharif warned of the impending #Israeli invasion. “If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased...

...some in the crowd sported red bandanas around their necks—a nod to the state's long history of labor organizing and the thousands of coal mine workers who formed a multiracial coalition in 1921 and marched wearing bandanas for the right to join a union with fair pay and safety protections.
"Fifteen million Americans, including 50,000 right here in West Virginia, are going to lose their healthcare," #Sanders said of the Medicaid cuts...
Seven hospitals are expected to shut down in the state as a result of the law's #Medicaid cuts, and 84,000 West Virginians will lose #SupplementalNutritionAssistanceProgram benefits, according to estimates.

British campaigners reported Saturday that the sheer volume of people who showed up in #London's Parliament Square to support the nonviolent advocacy group #PalestineAction presented a major challenge for the Metropolitan Police, who had threatened to arrest anyone supporting the organization.
The campaign group #DefendOurJuries reported that as of 4:00 pm local time, at least 200 people had been arrested for joining the protest, where more than 1,000 sat silently in the square with many displaying signs that read: "I oppose genocide. I support #Palestine Action."

Israeli Security Cabinet approves PM Netanyahu's plan to occupy Gaza City
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to occupy Gaza City was approved by the Security Cabinet on Friday morning.
ByJAMES GENN
Updated: AUGUST 8, 2025 05:47
The statement did not use the term "occupation," rather using the term "takeover," due to legal ramifications for the civilian population, Ynet reported.
The Security Cabinet also adopted five principles for ending the war, namely disarming #Hamas, returning all hostages, both living and murdered, demilitarizing the #Gaza Strip, #Israel maintaining security control over the Gaza Strip, and the existence of civilian government that is not controlled by either Hamas or the #PalestinianAuthority
