UN calls for an investigation following Thursday’s “flour massacre” where Israel killed at least 115 Palestinians waiting for aid and injured more than 760. The need for aid is becoming even more dire as starvation worsens in northern Gaza.

For months Palestinian prisoners have shared testimonies of torture at the hands of Israeli military and prison authorities. New reports shed more light on the abuse, particularly sexual violence, carried out inside Israeli detention centers.

Joe Biden has stepped up public criticisms of Israel to save his faltering electoral prospects in Michigan, but there remains an incredible disconnect between these words and his administration’s ongoing support for Israel’s genocidal attack on Gaza.

A ruling by the International Court of Justice in favor of South Africa, which has accused Israel of genocide, could mean saving thousands of lives in Gaza. The alternative, however, could be devastating and further embolden Israeli violence.

Israeli forces killed eight Palestinians in the West Bank in overnight raids. In Gaza, an Israeli airstrike killed Hamza Dahdouh, son of Al Jazeera Gaza bureau chief  Wael Dahdouh, in Khan Yunis.

Israel has no vision. It appears now to want world war as a fix to its core problem– that Palestinians have no rights.

In a wide-ranging interview, Craig Mokhiber reflects on his time as Director of the New York Office of the UN’s High Commissioner of Human Rights after he stepped down in protest over the UN’s failure to prevent a “textbook case of genocide” in Gaza.

Palestinians have called for a global strike on Monday as Israel continues to kill Palestinians by the thousands, refusing a ceasefire as analysts warn a miscalculation could trigger a regional war.

The system of international law affords impunity to the strong, while the weak are lectured on humanity, which they are denied, and the value of the rule of law and human rights, which do not seem to apply to them. 

The U.S. was the lone Security Council member to vote against a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, casting its veto despite nearly 100 states sponsoring the proposal. The American veto provoked outcry from humanitarian and advocacy groups, with Doctors Without Borders (MSF) calling it “a vote against humanity.”
