The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas brokered by Donald Trump has come into effect. The agreement has drawn triumphal commentary from the Right and hostile criticism from some commentators who believe themselves to be leftist. These commentators have missed the actual significance of what has taken place.
‘Europe Explodes with Rage After Israel Intercepts Global Sumud Flotilla’: This essay traces the mass demonstrations that erupted across Europe in October 2025 following Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. Also: ‘Italy in Revolt: Mass Protests Spread Throughout Europe and the Genocide in Gaza Continues’; and: ‘The Flotilla’s Glimpse into the Palestinian Condition’.
‘What We Know About the First Phase of the Gaza Ceasefire and What Comes Next’; ‘A History of Deception: US-Israeli Pacts and the Gaza Proposal’; ‘The Trump Gaza Plan and the Politics of Coercion’.
Israel’s war minister, Israel Katz, declared: “Gaza is burning.” His words were not a battlefield report. They were a boast—almost celebratory—as though the incineration of a city, a gas chamber for a million human beings, were what defined Israel’s notion of military achievement.
‘More Than a Boat: The Gaza Flotilla as a Symbol of a Growing Global Movement’; ‘The Sumud of Direct Nonviolent Action’; ‘Spain Joins Italy in Sending Ship to Protect Gaza-Bound Sumud Flotilla’; ‘In Genoa’.
A report prepared by the advocacy group Centre for Financial Accountability focuses on top Indian business giants as well as public sector undertakings and their defence ties with Israeli defence firms—stating that India accounts for nearly 45% of Israel’s total arms exports.
‘In Conversation with Ros Petchesky, a Feminist, Jewish Voice for Peace’: Ros has thought deeply about the connections between feminism, human rights, peace and justice in the context of Israel and Palestine. Also: ‘Albert Einstein, Palestine and Israel today’.
‘Scorched Earth Capitalism: U.S. Imperialism’s Genocide in Gaza’; ‘Nowhere to Run: I am Choosing Death at Home Over Forced Evacuation’; ‘Ex-Israeli Army Chief Admits Over 200,000 Palestinians Killed or Injured in Gaza Genocide’; ‘What’s Happening in Gaza City?’.
This article addresses the BRICS’ international policy regarding their relations with Israel and the genocide being committed by the Israeli government. The author writes that the BRICS countries are not taking any concrete measures as a group to effectively prevent the continuation of the massacres and genocide.
‘U.N Declares Famine in Gaza: No Middle Ground on Genocide’; ‘Famine and Mass Murder in Gaza: A Crime of Zionism and World Imperialism’: The Gaza genocide is not a cancerous growth on an otherwise healthy society but a symptom of the inner malignancy of capitalism.
