  • Trump Backs Israel’s Peace-Killing Efforts

    “Three weeks ago, Hamas agreed to a U.S.-Israeli-drafted ceasefire, but its offer was ignored. Now, the movement says it will accept a comprehensive deal in a renewed bid to end the genocide.”

  • Activists Call out EU and Türkiye on “Pieties” on Gaza

      “The Republic of Türkiye must take action for an immediate ceasefire and urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, by immediately imposing unilateral economic sanctions on Israel, beginning with an immediate withholding of oil. Why has the Government of Türkiye not done this yet?”

  • Abbas Urged to Use U.N. “Uniting for Peace” to Get Protection Force for Gaza

    “It is imperative that you act immediately to formally request the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to mandate the deployment of a multilateral protection force in Gaza, pursuant to a ‘Uniting for Peace’ resolution secured in an Emergency Special Session. This force should have a specific mandate to protect civilians, facilitate aid distribution throughout Gaza, secure evidence of Israeli crimes, and assist in reconstruction. As you are aware, member states of the United Nations will need a formal invitation from the State of Palestine in order to proceed with the deployment of such forces to Gaza.”

  • Taxpayers Take Legal Action Against the U.S. Government for Funding the Gaza Genocide

    “This initial phase of the legal action involves filing a historic legal complaint against the U.S. government with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IAHCR), the official human rights body in the Western Hemisphere established by the Organization of American States (OAS). This is the only legal complaint in the world that directly takes on the U.S. government — including the Biden and Trump Administrations, and Congress — for its role in the genocide.”

  • Palestinian and Global Civil Society Call for UN and Global Action

    “The member nations of the UNGA have the power and obligation to stop the genocide, given that the Security Council has repeatedly failed to do so because of the US veto. Using mechanisms available to them, in particular the Uniting for Peace Resolution and non-recognition of Israel’s credentials, the state members of the General Assembly could act immediately to end the genocide within a month.”

  • The Economic Impacts of Science Funding Cuts

    According to the Science and Community Impacts Mapping Project (SCIMaP), the White House FY 2026 budget proposal cuts NIH research funding by $18 billion compared to FY 2024. The budget cuts are projected to lead to widespread economic and job losses in counties across the country. Upwards of 200,000 high-quality jobs in medical research are disappearing and going abroad, writes data analyst Joshua Weitz, “for no reason other than [that] Project 2025 [and] HHS leadership want to dismantle world-class NIH funded research in communities nationwide.” 

  • Europe’s “Snapback” Gamble Risks Killing Diplomacy with Iran

    The move would restore “pre-2015 sanctions on Iran unless concessions are made within 30 days. Designed under the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] as a last-resort remedy, snapback flips Security Council rules: sanctions return automatically unless affirmatively blocked — meaning any veto secures reimposition. With the October 18, 2025 sunset clause approaching, the move is a high-stakes gamble meant to maximize leverage.”

  • How the UN Could Act Today to Stop the Genocide in Palestine

    “Genocide continues to rage in Gaza and is spreading as well in the West Bank. Famine has been declared in Gaza. Israel is expanding its military presence in Gaza and is rampaging across the West Bank. And September 18 will mark the end of a one-year deadline set by the UN General Assembly for Israel to comply with their demands and that of the World Court or face ‘further measures’ The time to act is now.”

  • Blank Check for D.C. Occupation

    Republican governors from six states––Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Ohio, South Carolina, and West Virginia––are all voluntarily sending National Guardsmen to the nation’s capital. President Trump mobilized the National Guard “under the guise of restoring security” in D.C., “getting rid of the slums,” and forcibly removing unhoused people from the city. As of August 21, more than 2,000 National Guard troops had been deployed in Washington. The deployment costs more than a million dollars per day. The daily cost of operating public housing for the 30,000 unhoused people in those six states would be less than one day of the occupation. Meanwhile,…

  • Biden and Trump Both Treat U.S. Jews as “Appendages of Israel”

    “The protests are the latest chapter in a year-and-a-half-long political crisis roiling the country.
