The only option Netanyahu and his criminal gang of warlords have to package Israel’s public image as a “benevolent democracy” as well as to justify the mass slaughter of hundreds…
By Sõzarn Barday A Washington-based think tank is calling for the United States to pressure South Africa into punishing organisations and individuals who advocate for Palestinian rights. In August 2025, the Foundation for Defence of Democracies (FDD) urged the U.S. government to impose “diplomatic pressure and targeted sanctions that would restrict the operations of key Hamas supporters in South Africa” and to lobby the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to keep South Africa on its grey list. The FDD, a Washington-based Zionist think tank, claims that the African National Congress (ANC), South Africa’s liberation movement during apartheid, maintains close ties with what…
BY Hassen Lorgat This story has been circulating on social media, but the SABC—especially its leadership—must take the blame for it. I do not blame the front-line workers for this mess. Last week, the SABC board unilaterally canceled a scheduled meeting with media activists to discuss their coverage of the genocide. the invitation to the meeting came from the Khathutshelo Ramukumba, Chairperson of the SABC Board. Since they had set the date unilaterally in the first place, the cancellation was not a surprise, but it was a waste of our time and energy as we had to make arrangements and…
By Dr Ahmed Haroon Jazbhay Today, the Media Review Network joins the freedom-loving world to commemorate two years since Operation Al Aqsa Flood, an attempt to break free from the Gaza Ghetto and loosen the shackles of Zionist settler colonialism. Israel killed 1000+ of its own people on this day by invoking the Hannibal Doctrine, which authorises the military to use maximum force to prevent them from being taken hostage. What has followed is the world’s most brutal genocide, epistemicide, and ethnical cleansing operation of the 21st century. Against all odds, and despite widespread death and destruction, the resistance movements in…
By Saadia Gani The echoes of freedom songs for Gaza filled the seas, sounding the voices of non-violent resistance with the 50 ships of the Sumud Flotilla on the brink of reaching Gaza. Their hearts poured out songs like “Bella Ciao” and chants like “Gaza will be free from the river to the sea,” “The Little Flame,” and a specific song titled “Good People Sailing” to express their bonds of solidarity and sincere hopes to reach Gaza. They represented the best of humanity: courage, compassion, and conscience — activists from 44 countries risking life and limb to carry humanitarian aid…
The Media Review Network welcomes Hamas’s wise and strategic response to the 20-points outlined by US President Donald Trump for an end to the genocide in Gaza. Though it has stopped short of a full and unqualified approval of the “proposed plan”, Hamas has responded with great wisdom and maturity to ensure that the collective will of all Palestinian “factions and forces” is embodied in its response: “In light of the ongoing aggression and genocidal war waged against our steadfast people in the Gaza Strip, and stemming from our national responsibility to uphold the principles, rights, and higher interests of…
By Hassen Lorgat He claims he deserves the Piece Prize while supporting the emptying of Gaza. Let’s not forget the proposed concessions of land in Ukraine, nor the critical minerals seized from here, there, and the DRC. We’ll leave aside the pieces of Mexico his predecessors stitched together. So there you have it: for free, and for freedom, a piece of my mind. Author Recent Posts Hassen Lorgat Has worked in trade union movement, civic associations, and anti apartheid sports movement led by the South African Council on Sports (SACOS) as well as NGOs for the past while.

Bilal Irfan, MS; Aayesha Soni, MD; Mohammed Al-Hasan, MBBS; Belal Aldabbour, MD Since Palestinians began broadcasting the live devastation of Gaza in October 2023, many Muslim individuals have found themselves living 2 simultaneous realities. In one, they have witnessed flattened neighborhoods, mass casualties, starvation, and pleas for help; in the other, they have walked through streets where keffiyehs, hijabs, or pro-ceasefire slogans could trigger suspicion, verbal abuse, or tar- geted violence. Watching ongoing death and destruction abroad while being subjected to racism at home is exerting an under- recognized mental health challenge on a population already bur- dened by decades of surveillance and…
By Sõzarn Barday Since October 2023, Israel’s assault on Gaza has claimed the lives of at least 66,055 Palestinians, leaving entire neighbourhoods in rubble and families erased from the civil registry. Amid this ongoing humanitarian catastrophe, former U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled a 21-point plan that he claims will end the bloodshed. Yet a closer look reveals that the plan envisions Gaza’s future shaped not by Palestinians, but by foreign powers with long histories of enabling Israel’s occupation and undermining Palestinian rights. At the heart of the proposal is a blueprint drawn from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, whose…
By Hamid Javadi US President Donald Trump on Monday unveiled a 20-point proposal for post-war Gaza that is dangerously skewed in favor of the Israeli regime and ignores Palestinian realities. At its core, the plan demands Hamas disarm within 72 hours of a ceasefire, release all captives, and accept a phased Israeli troop withdrawal. But here’s the catch: there’s no binding commitment to end the military occupation, no clear roadmap for Palestinian sovereignty or right to self-determination of Palestinians and no guarantee that Israel won’t resume its genocidal aggression once its captives are returned. The much-hyped “plan” that has been…
