Moazzam Begg: the British activist protesting genocide

Held and tortured in Guantanamo for three years, Begg was released in 2005 without any charge. He sued the UK for complicity, and years after his release, he continues to advocate for the oppressed.

Once shrugged off, Al Aqsa violations now irk more Israelis

There is a growing awareness in Israeli society, deeply divided by the war in Gaza, that such provocations by far-right Jewish zealots do nothing but fan the flames of violence

The new 'Superman' is not as pro-Palestine as some think

The depiction of a land-grabbing colonialist power turning on its weaker neighbour feels aimed at Israel, its advocates say. Yet supporters of Palestine should be up in arms, too.

Performative politics: Palestine recognition pledges ring hollow

The moves by France, the UK and other Western states appear to be more about appeasing domestic critics with symbolic gestures rather than a genuine attempt to change Israel's behaviour

How Gaza’s hakawati use storytelling to cling to memory and life

Storytelling in a genocide in which there has been no formal education for two years is no luxury. Rather, it is an attempt to revive the imaginations of a generation robbed of their childhood.

Instead of respite, Gaza's war-torn brace for full Israeli occupation

After nearly two years of bombing, death, and displacement, a further mass evacuation order from the north to the south is pending, with the Israeli endgame being the settlement of the Strip

Israelis are finally fed up with Netanyahu's endless war on Gaza

The gulf between the political and military establishments is widening. Politicians speak of a delayed victory, but military leaders warn of an inescapable quagmire.

04 June 2026

The Israeli leader's intransigence is proving deeply problematic for the White House, so much so that Trump swore at him on a recent phone call

Sadr once again dismantles his armed militia. Why now?

03 June 2026

The decision to dismantle the Peace Brigades may herald a new stage in the Iraqi state's trajectory, or it could just be a shrewd recalibration to disorient friend and foe alike
