Photo by Chris J Ratcliffe/AFP via Getty Images Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper’s government arrested elderly protesters, a blind man using a wheelchair, and others – all in the name of providing diplomatic cover for a genocidal regime. Marianne Sorrell is an 80-year-old retired teacher from the idyllic rural English town of Wells in Somerset. About a year ago, I met Marianne after speaking on a panel at the Wells literary festival. She…

(Photo by AFP via Getty Images) “We understand these are our last days.” Abdel Qader Sabbah and Sharif Abdel Kouddous GAZA CITY—The prominent Palestinian journalist Anas al-Sharif was buried in Gaza City on Monday, a broken slab of rock used as a headstone, one day after his assassination by the Israeli military. Five other journalists —four from Al Jazeera, Mohammed Qraiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Aliwa, and Mohammed Noufal, and one from media outlet Sahat, Mohammed Al-Khalidi—were killed alongside him and also laid…
By Nco Dube, a political economist, businessman and social commentator Image: Supplied For over seven decades, the Palestinian people have endured relentless dispossession, occupation, and cycles of brutal violence. In the current moment of crisis, few places on earth provide a starker indictment of our global failures than Gaza. This 42km strip of coastal land, a narrow corridor home to two million people, half of them children, has become an open-air prison under siege. Starved of freedom, water, food, and medicine, battered by warplanes and shells, and left without functioning hospitals or schools, Gaza is a crucible of suffering. Yet, beyond…
By ZAFAR BANGASH The Arabian rulers remain unmoved by zionist Israel’s starvation of Palestinian children. Instead, they are demanding that the Israel resistance must disarm and leave Gaza. The number of Palestinian children starving to death in Gaza is rising alarmingly. With each new death, a new milestone of horror is reached. Gaza’s Health Ministry reported on August 7 that nearly 200 people, among them 96 children, had died of starvation. The World Health Organization (WHO) director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus shared other grim statistics. He said that about 12,000 children younger than five were suffering from acute malnutrition. These figures…
Palestinian mother Samah al-Nouri comforts her son in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza, on July 10, 2025 [Ramadan Abed/Reuters] By Iqbal Suleiman For decades the Palestinian woman was depicted as the “Weeping Mother”. This was the stereotypical image that was embedded in the public mind. A helpless woman with a headscarf, tears rolling down her eyes with no agency, no mind of her own and subservient to men. She was pitied and scorned simultaneously. Pitied for her undeniable suffering as she wept beside the dead body of her child. Scorned because she was perceived to…
By Rasha Abou jalal Inside her tent in the “Al-Samedeen” displacement camp west of Gaza City, 32-year-old Sanaa Halawa sits with her hand on her swollen belly, now in her eighth month of pregnancy. She contemplates the fate of her unborn baby, hoping he will be born alive, yet fearing he may be born amid the bombardment — or never be born at all. “Every day I wake up and ask myself: Will I live long enough to give birth? Will this child get to let out his first cry, or will he suffocate inside me before he ever sees…
Displaced Palestinian families in Gaza. (Photo: Shaimaa Eid, The Palestine Chronicle) By Ramzy Baroud As for those who have delayed their verdict regarding the Israeli genocide, no rationale can possibly absolve them. They will be judged by history. The Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem released a comprehensive report on July 27 describing the Israeli war on Gaza as genocide. However, the delay in publishing such an indictment is troubling and adds to an existing problem of politically motivated decision-making processes that have, in their own right, prolonged the ongoing Israeli war crimes. The report accused Israel of committing genocide, a conclusion reached after a…
By Dr Ahmed Haroon Jazbhay The Media Review Network welcomes confirmation by the Hawks that it is investigating Aaron Bayhack and 15 other South Africans who have served in the ‘Israeli Genocide force’, some of whom during the ongoing Gaza Genocide. The investigation is the result of years of painstaking work by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, MRN and Attorney Ziyaad Patel which handed evidence to the Hawks on a silver platter. In the same breath, we need to ensure that the investigation is not hampered by Zionists and their political allies who would be up in arms and do their…
Very little food can be bought in Gaza. (Abdallah Alattar/APA images) by Eman Hillis I can barely function as a journalist and I can’t even explain why. I am a fact-checking journalist. My job is to sit in front of my laptop and debunk false and misleading claims. Now as I sit, trying to type a word, my fingers freeze, and my brain refuses to connect one sentence to the next. This has been the issue for the past four months, ever since my family…
By Iqbal Jassat If there is a word to capture or describe how badly Israel’s public image is damaged, what would it be? Most certainly the word would be “disaster”! Some may argue that even metaphorically speaking, the Netanyahu regime has exhausted all efforts aimed to overcome its disastrous public relations. Every action – whether military, political or diplomatic – has led from disaster to disaster. A recent example of the extent of worldwide outrage against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the Occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, saw thousands upon thousands – some estimates place the number at more than 300,000 -…
