​Brussels / London, 9 June 2025 — The Hind Rajab Foundation has formally filed a war crimes complaint with the Metropolitan Police War Crimes Unit (Counter Terrorism Command, SO15) concerning the Israeli naval raid on the British-flagged humanitarian vessel Madleen, which took place in international waters on 8–9 June 2025. The complaint targets the Shayetet 13 unit that executed the attack and Vice Admiral David Saar Salama who is the commander in chief of the Israeli Navy. The Madleen, sailing as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was carrying medical supplies, food, and baby formula to civilians in Gaza. The ship, legally considered an extension…

By Mariam Jooma Carikci This morning, 9 June 2025, the Israeli military commits a flagrant act of state piracy in international waters—storming the Madleen, a British-flagged civilian vessel en route to Gaza, flying the Union Jack. The Madleen, renamed in honour of Palestinian fisherwoman Madleen Culab, departed from Catania, Sicily on 1 June, carrying a modest yet symbolically powerful consignment of humanitarian supplies: baby formula, flour, diapers, emergency medical kits, and prosthetics for children maimed in Israel’s bombardments. Despite sailing with full transparency and clearance from European ports, the ship is illegally intercepted approximately 90 nautical miles off Gaza’s coast. The Israeli…

By Iqbal Suleman It’s the day of Eid ul Adha. Muslims around the globe are engaged in the process of slaughtering sheep, camels and goats and distributing the meat amongst the poor. Meanwhile in Gaza, Occupied Palestine, Israeli’s are slaughtering poor and starving Palestinians as they line up waiting to collect food. For three consecutive days, the Israeli dubbed “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” run by Israel and America have lured starving Palestinians to collect food and shot them dead in the dozens. The United Nations says that Gaza is the hungriest place on earth. The chief of the ICRC says that…

By Iqbal Jassat  Now that the genie is out of the bottle despite Benjamin Netanyahu’s vain efforts to suppress news of a devious third-force element he set up to counter Palestinian resistance, be sure the proverbial “bad changes” will haunt him.  War criminals especially of the Netanyahu-type who morbidly celebrate their gruesome massacres and destruction of Palestinian lives in Gaza, have obviously much to learn about the rebounding effect of third-forces. A quick glance at South Africa’s apartheid history and the despicable role of counter-revolutionaries to disrupt, fracture and fragment the liberation movements, provide many crucial lessons. The period between…

As we celebrate Eid-ul-Adha, a time of sacrifice, compassion, and unity, our hearts remain heavy with the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Gaza. The spirit of this sacred occasion calls us to remember those enduring oppression, displacement, and unimaginable loss. The genocide in Gaza is a stark reminder of the injustices we must confront with courage and unwavering faith. Prophet Ibrahim (AS) demonstrated ultimate submission to Allah’s will, teaching us that true sacrifice means standing for justice, even in the face of immense hardship. Today, our sacrifice must extend beyond ritual—it demands action. Let us use our voices,…

By Iqbal Suleman If my skin is white And my eyes are blue Would you burn me alive And blow my brains out too If my skin is white And my hair is blond Would you support a Genocide By providing all the bombs If my skin is white And I spoke English like you Would you close your eyes And let them do as they do If my skin is white And if I am a Zionist Jew Would you force me to starve And watch me die of hunger too If my skin is…

A protestor expressing solidarity with Palestine on Jalan Asia Afrika in Bandung City, West Java, Indonesia, on April 25, 2025. Recently Rowan Polovin, chair of the SA Zionist Federation, offered readers the binary choice of aligning with the West or descending into irrelevance and state failure.  By Ziyad Motala IN recent weeks, the Sunday Times writers have not so much reported on the Middle East as performed ideological ventriloquism for Israel’s defenders. What began as a murmur has grown into a discernible editorial drumbeat — measured, rehearsed, and with each successive article, increasingly brazen in its pro-Israel slant. First came S’thembiso…

By Iqbal Suleman The Prime Minister of Britain, the President of France and the Chief of the European Union have in recent days criticised the actions of the Israeli Government. Hooray! At last. After more than fifty five thousand Gazans were slaughtered and bodies of starved skeletal children haunt your screens. Tens of thousands of Palestinians lie rotting under the rubble for more than a year. Now you finally muster up some courage to criticize Israel with mild words. Okay so there is a slight change in tone from European leaders but no action whatsoever to immediately stop the Genocide…

“SA’s pro-Genocide lobbyists for supporting Netanyahu’s war crimes is shameful”  By Iqbal Jassat  While there appears to be tension between US President Donald Trump and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu over differences in the Zionist regime’s war goals against the Islamic Republic of Iran, does it absolve the American empire of the horrendous genocide in Gaza?  Certainly not, for it is widely known the US has been a destabilising force complicit in mass murders of millions of people globally as indeed it is in the besieged Gaza as well as the rest of Occupied Palestine.  A few days ago, Netanyahu once again…

By Sõzarn Barday Growing reliance on military-grade surveillance has drawn concern from civil society and privacy advocates. In 2024, the City of Cape Town unveiled its Eye in the Sky (Eye) Information, Surveillance and Reconnaissance initiative — an advanced aerial technology system designed to provide real-time monitoring of activities on the ground. Marketed as a milestone in the City’s crime-fighting strategy, Eye forms part of a broader push to integrate surveillance technologies into public safety and urban governance. According to JP Smith, mayoral committee member for safety and security, the city has also invested in similar technologies to address environmental issues…
