By Iqbal Jassat  In his frustration with media coverage of the “Sumud Flotilla”, Nicholas Woode-Smith (Biznews) relies on the usual Zionist-Israeli talking points to rubbish the humanitarian efforts of the flotilla. This comes as no surprise because the regime of Netanyahu has and remains in the midst of a rotten stinking public image. The last two years of devastating cruelty inflicted on Palestinians in Gaza in what the world and a range of credible human rights organisations – barring the US empire – has acknowledged to be a genocide, has reduced the image of the apartheid regime to tatters. There…

By Ramzy Baroud Gaza-born journalist Ramzy Baroud traces how Palestinians have turned survival into a struggle for dignity, history and freedom, with Gaza at the heart of the resistance. Days before my sister, Suma Baroud, was killed by the Israeli army in Khan Yunis, she texted me a long message about her future plans for the land where her home once stood. In Gaza, virtually all of my extended family’s homes had been bombed or demolished by Israeli warplanes and bulldozers. Suma’s plan, however, wasn’t to build a bigger house or sell the land and leave the Strip. ‘Once the wreckage is…

Now it only reminds them of what they’ve lost—the right to speak, to gather, to demand anything.” We have a commitment to ensuring that our journalism is not locked behind a paywall. But the only way we can sustain this is through the voluntary support of our community…

By Saadia Gani Gaza just breathed a sigh of relief at the news of the ceasefire and the brave return home to the north had begun… Alas, nothing is sweet for too long, and Gaza was thrown into mourning yet again as one of its brightest stars was martyred — Saleh Al-Jafarawi. Saleh Al-Jafarawi was the light of Gaza. A young man who wore many hats: journalist, content creator, table tennis ranked player, singer, and a great patron of Gaza who dedicated every waking moment to serving his people, comforting them, and caring for them. He carried the flame of hope…

By Iqbal Jassat  Military experts will agree that if any power sets out beating war drums and loudly proclaiming clearly defined goals but after a lengthy period of killing innocent people, including causing enormous devastation and destruction by its army, is forced to accept a ceasefire without attaining any of its goals militarily, cannot claim to be victorious.  Yet this is exactly what Israel’s war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu is claiming, despite failing miserably apart from the horrendous genocide and mass slaughter of thousands upon thousands of Palestinians in the Occupied Gaza Strip. For understanding the context of Netanyahu’s boastful claims of…

By Faruk Hoosain & Saadia Gani We have reached a moment in history when the cries of humanity have been heard. The Sumud Flotilla was sent back, its activists sent home — yet the seas themselves erupted and opened to allow the entry of a ceasefire agreement. And at last, the sigh of the steadfast was allowed a moment of grace. Gaza’s ceasefire is one such moment that compels us to seek its deeper meaning — laden with lessons. It is the pause between the suffering of oppression and the silence of those complicit; the sacred breath of a people…

By Dr Ahmed Haroon Jazbhay The Media Review Network, with immense relief and pride, welcomes Phase One of the Gaza Ceasefire coming into effect. In the face of genocidal aggression, the likes of which the world has never seen before in the 21st century, the people and Resistance of Gaza have stood tall. Whilst the rest of the world stood idly by, the Resistance in Gaza rose up to defend Palestine on behalf of the ummah. Whereas Muslim countries, with vast armies and military resources, failed to provide one bullet to the Resistance, they brought the Zionist genocidal forces to…

By Dr Ahmed Haroon Jazbhay The Media Review Network (MRN) strongly condemns the South African Carp Angling Federation’s (SA Carp) decision to host the Israeli national team in a fishing competition. MRN views this move as a dangerous act of normalisation that undermines South Africa’s legacy of solidarity with oppressed peoples, particularly Palestinians, suffering under Israeli genocide. Source Facebook The inclusion of the Israeli team comes amid Israel’s ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, where civilians, including athletes and sports infrastructure, are being targeted. MRN argues that allowing Israeli participation in…

By Saadia Gani The seas off Gaza were filled with songs of freedom as the Sumud Flotilla, a steadfast fleet of fifty ships carrying humanitarian aid, sailed toward the besieged territory. Among the 443 activists from 44 countries were South Africans Nkosi Zwelivelile “Mandla” Mandela, Carrie Shelver, Zaheera Soomar, Dr. Fatima Hendricks, and Reaz Moola — brave citizens united by a single mission: to carry hope, medicine, and solidarity to the people of Gaza, who have endured relentless bombardment and siege for over two years. But what they encountered was not humanity — it was a wall of Pharaonic warships.…
