‘My children were killed hungry’, mother grieves after Israeli air strikes on Gaza A Palestinian mother in Gaza says her children were killed in an Israeli air strike without having had suhoor, the pre-dawn meal which initiates a day of fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. ‘My children were killed hungry,’ she weeps. ‘I was asleep. I woke up to findmy husband and my children dead.’ The family was one of many who have struggled to find food as Israel imposed a complete blockade on the territory, blocking all aid from entering Gaza since 2 March. Israel has resumed its bombing campaign on Gaza with US approval, as the humanitarian crisis worsens. With food, water and medical supplies severely limited, aid organisations warn that starvation is becoming as great a threat as the air strikes themselves. The Israeli military is resuming its all-out assault on Palestinian families in…

South Africa’s ambassador to the USA, Ebrahim Rasool, has been expelled from the country after he made comments calling Trump and Elon Musk “white supremacists”. The state department issued a swift statement that declared the career ANC partyman “persona non grata” in the USA, and a “race baiting” politician who hates President Donald Trump. Well, Mr. Rasool breached diplomatic norms by abusing the leader of his host country. There is no way any ambassador can do what Rasool did, and expect no retaliation. However, this small diplomatic storm has much larger roots: the Israeli-Palestine conflict. South Africa took Israel to the ICC, accusing the Jewish state of genocide against Palestinians during their 17 month war in Gaza. Israel lost that case, and cut diplomatic ties with South Africa, which responded in kind too. USA always takes Israeli side no matter what. The ANC government has never forgotten, nor forgiven Israel…

“There is no escape from the conclusion that Israel has employed sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians to terrorise them and perpetuate a system of oppression that undermines their right to self-determination.” A new report by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry accuses Israel of employing systematic sexual, reproductive, and gender-based violence against Palestinians as part of a broader strategy to undermine their right to self-determination. The report states that Israel has committed genocidal acts through the destruction of reproductive healthcare facilities, the imposition of a siege, and the denial of humanitarian aid. Key Findings: ➤ Sexual and Gender-Based Violence as a Strategy of War: ➝ Israeli security forces allegedly force public stripping, sexual harassment, threats of rape, and sexual assault as standard procedures against Palestinians.➝ Rape and genital violence were reportedly committed under explicit orders or implicit encouragement from Israeli leadership.➝ Israeli settlers in the West Bank allegedly…

Caribbean Leaders Stand Firm Against U.S. Visa Threats Over Cuban Medical Program The United States announced visa restrictions related to Cuba’s international medical cooperation.U.S. Secretary of State accuses Cuba of exporting “exploited labor”, as part of a campaign to discredit the prestige of Cuban medical mission.The decision of the U.S. Government intends to affect the health services of millions in Cuba and the world. Photo: Araquém Alcántara The United States will expand the policy of restricting visas related to Cuba, which will now involve the suspension of those associated with the island’s international medical cooperation agreements. This would restrict the issuance of visas to Cuban and third country government officials, qualified as “alleged accomplices”, as well as to persons responsible for this international medical care program. The action, which constitutes the seventh aggression against the Caribbean nation in a month, was announced on Tuesday by U.S. Secretary of State Marco…

*Food as weapon* 🌏 We produce enough food to feed 10 billion people, yet 783 million go hungry. Why? Because under capitalism, food is not a human right ,it’s a commodity used for profit and control. ✅ *Hunger Amidst Abundance*Supermarkets throw away tons of food daily while families struggle to afford a meal. Corporations manipulate prices, hoard supplies, and even destroy food to keep profits high. ✅ *Land Grabs & Displacement* Smallholder farmers and Indigenous communities are being pushed off their lands to make way for large-scale agribusiness. These lands grow export crops like coffee and palm oil instead of feeding local communities. ✅ *Food Prices & Speculation* Banks and hedge funds gamble on food prices, making staples like maize and wheat unaffordable for millions. When crises hit, the poor starve while the rich profit. ✅ *Exploitation in the Food Industry* From plantation workers to supermarket clerks, food workers earn…

✅ The communities that have contributed the least to the crisis i.e indigenous groups, small-scale farmers, and people in the Global South are often the ones who suffer the most. This is not just an environmental issue; it is a matter of justice. ❌Fascist and oppressive systems thrive on division, exploitation, and hoarding resources for the privileged few. 💯 Climate justice, on the other hand, demands solidarity across borders. It calls for dismantling systems that prioritize profit over people and the planet. 💯 It means fighting for policies that hold polluters accountable, ensuring that vulnerable communities have access to climate adaptation resources, and amplifying the voices of those who are often silenced. ✊🏾We cannot allow nationalism and corporate greed to stand in the way of a just and sustainable future. The devastating cyclone in La Réunion is a stark reminder that the EU’s outermost regions—many of them shaped by colonial…

✊🏻💜 Statement from the Antifascist International in Commemoration of International Women’s Day Today, March 8, 2025, from the Antifascist International, we raise our voices in a collective song to honor International Women’s Day. This day is not just a date on the calendar, but an echo that resonates in the heart of history, a tribute to the unyielding light of women who, with their hands, dreams, and courage, have woven the threads of resistance and hope. Women, beacons in the darkness, have been the guardians of life and the warriors of freedom. With steady feet and gazes that defy the horizon, they have walked over the ruins of fascism, patriarchy, and injustice. They have been the sowers of rebellion, the forgers of futures, those who, with their serene strength and inner fire, have transformed pain into struggle and struggle into victories. Today, we remember the women who, like mighty rivers,…

What if patriarchy ended tomorrow? Women would no longer have to justify the violence we endure. No more victim blaming, no more excuses—only justice, dignity, and freedom.If patriarchy fell, women would have full political, economic, and social equality. No more wage gaps, no more barriers to leadership, no more control over our bodies. Gender-based violence would no longer be silenced, and survivors would be believed. Power would be shared, not hoarded.This is not a dream—it is a fight we are determined to win. Dismantling patriarchy is a matter of life and death.On this 8th of March, we take to the streets, marching side by side with our sisters and siblings, demanding a world where women are free from violence, free to choose, free to live. We will never stop until the chains are broken for all. The Anti Fascist International, Kenya Chapter has been on the forefront to incorporate women…

At today’s Special European Council on Defence, the Commission President unveiled the “ReArm Europe Plan”, pledging a massive €800 billion for defence. But at what cost, and who really stands to benefit? Weapons manufacturers are cashing in. Companies like BAE, Rheinmetall, Thales, and Leonardo see their profits soar while people watch vital funding for social programmes, schools, and hospitals disappear.Furthermore, this decision comes without a transparent consultation with democratic institutions, leaving people out of the conversation about how their money is spent. The time is now to affirm a collective security architecture that leads to a just peace. Defending ourselves against threats does not mean capitulating to the profits of arms lobbies at the expense of our schools, hospitals, and climate action. We are seeing €800 billion funnelled into defence, more than what we’ve spent on climate policy over the past 7 years. Security should not come at the cost…

“NO OTHER LAND FILM.” In regards to the recently released and Oscars award winning film “No Other Land”, that was produced by both a Palestine and an Israeli, controversies arising create a two sided atmosphere yet still not attaining an equilibrium.Most Palestine people to whom the context and setting of the film was made from believe that this is a stage-managed electro-art tool that’s meant to falsify the struggles of Palestine and cultivate a global intermarriage propaganda for the antagonists.On the other hand, the film points out the real experience of Palestine following the attacks and genocide from Israeli.We held interviews with the following and they had these opinions; 1. Jordanian Popular Democratic Party – Palestine.“Based on the presence of two of the crew working on the film, it became clear that they did not actually renounce their “Israeli” citizenship and did not consider the occupation a colonial settlement entity,…
