Land Day, day of struggle for Palestine

Édouard Soulier — 2026-03-31T06:37:43Z

Land Day, on 30 March, marks a central moment in Palestinian history: in 1976, a general strike broke out in historic Palestine against the confiscation of land belonging to Arabs by the state of Israel. It was the first mass mobilization of Palestinians in the 1948 territories, where they are supposed to be “equal”. The targeted lands are located in particular in Sakhnin, Arraba and Deir Hanna, as part of the policy of “Judaizing Galilee”. On that day, six unarmed Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces during demonstrations. 50 years later, the Palestinians are still there and continue to fight against the confiscation of land and the bloody repression of the Israeli state.

Israel's International Prison Policies

Édouard Soulier, Monira Moon — 2026-02-26T15:20:00Z

As colonization and repression intensify in Palestine, Israeli prison policy is reaching an unprecedented level. Mass arrests, torture, arbitrary detentions and the international extension of repressive measures are part of a globalized colonial system.

Support the prisoners, stop the repression in Tunisia

Édouard Soulier — 2025-12-30T07:23:04Z

Fifteen years after the start of the Tunisian revolution, the authoritarian regime established by Kais Saied is increasing arrests, unfair trials and repression against all civil society. In the face of this offensive, international solidarity is more necessary than ever.

Our eyes on the flotilla, not on the UN

Édouard Soulier — 2025-09-23T11:29:09Z

While Gaza City is reduced to ashes, media attention is focused on the futile and poisonous posturing around ‘recognition of the State of Palestine'. We must not lose sight of grassroots solidarity, support the Global Sumud Flotilla, isolate Israel and counter the process of normalisation.

Gaza: An undeniable genocide, a criminal complicity

Édouard Soulier — 2025-09-07T13:21:39Z

Two years after the genocide in Gaza began, the population is suffering from relentless bombing, organized starvation and attacks on journalists and relief workers. Israeli propaganda, relayed by its allies, no longer masks the colonial and genocidal character of its policies, while Palestinian and international resistance continues.

Massacres and starvation in a criminal silence

Édouard Soulier — 2025-07-04T10:15:02Z

The situation in Gaza is terrible, with massacres during the distribution of food aid, starvation imposed by Israel and the systematic destruction of the region. Impunity remains total, and those who speak out against this genocide are silenced.

We need to talk about Gaza more than ever

Édouard Soulier — 2025-04-26T07:38:56Z

The images keep coming, one after another, more of the same. Explosions, screams, cries and tragedies. Starving people who have had to survive displacement and bombardment. Access to drinking water is once again becoming a problem because Israel has destroyed Gaza's second desalination plant. It feels like we are reliving the horrors of a year ago.

Algeria: Colonisation and racism

Jean-Michel Apathie, a well-known French mainstream columnist, was suspended from the RTL television channel on 5 March after pointing out that France had committed massacres during the colonisation of Algeria.

Palestine: still on the brink of catastrophe

Édouard Soulier — 2025-03-05T07:50:45Z

The second phase of the ceasefire agreement should come into force next week, but it will probably be postponed by Israel. In a break with plans, Benyamin Netanyahu and his cabinet have suspended the release of 600 Palestinians under the terms of the agreement until further notice.

Israel does not want peace!

Édouard Soulier — 2024-12-14T10:08:03Z

The United States said it could impose a ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel. This was declared on 29 November for a period of 60 days. Just long enough for Biden to say that he had ‘done the job' and hand over to Trump at the end of January. An inglorious end to the reign of ‘Genocide Joe', who has spent the entire year supporting, arming and ultimately encouraging Israel's genocidal escalation.
