Towards a resumption of genocide in Gaza

Édouard Soulier — 2026-05-24T08:51:06Z

Behind the so-called ceasefire, the reconstruction of Gaza is blocked, and Israel is already preparing a new large-scale offensive. As always with Israel, agreements are not respected and ceasefires are mainly used to rearm and prepare for the next offensive. Nearly 800 people have been killed during this so-called ceasefire.

Justice for the Middle East Is Also About Climate

Adam Hanieh, Denys Gorbach, Simon Pirani — 2026-05-11T17:10:15Z

“The deepening climate emergency means that we need to put upfront the question of the climate and the urgent need to move away from fossil fuels. The Middle East is absolutely key to this because it sits at the centre of the world oil and gas industry, particularly in relation to global exports. The politics of the region – from Palestine to Iran – cannot be understood separate from this role of the Middle East in the global energy system.”

In the night of 29-30 May, as was foreseen by Ramiro Giganti, Israeli forces illegally detained some twenty boats of the flotilla and arrested nearly 200 activists - trade-unionists, healthworkers, solidarity activists, electd representatives. They rendered the boats unusable.

Demonstrations in many countries of the evening of 30 April called for the liberation of all these activists and for the flotilla to continue its mission of bring even symbolic material aid to Gaza and breaking the blockade.

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.
