A world body like the United Nations should have the power to enforce its resolutions and impose sanctions on the offending countries regardless of how powerful they are. No country should be allowed to continue committing crimes against humanity with impunity. The world should unite and act quickly to stop such aggression. The simple majority decision is all that it should take to isolate and punish the criminal country. This ability is woefully lacking in the current United Nations.

This is the last chapter of the genocide. It is the final, blood-soaked push to drive the Palestinians from Gaza. No food. No medicine. No shelter. No clean water. No electricity. Israel is swiftly turning Gaza into a Dantesque cauldron of human misery where Palestinians are being killed in their hundreds and soon, again, in their thousands and tens of thousands, or they will be forced out never to return. The final chapter marks the end of Israeli lies. The lie of the two-state solution.

On March 13, the Trump fascists issued an outrageous and unprecedented list of demands that Columbia University must comply with in order to even negotiate with the government for federal funds. This comes five days after the Gestapo-like abduction of Mahmoud Khalil (the Palestine solidarity activist and a movement spokesperson at Columbia) by ICE agents! It comes six days after the federal government cut off $400 million for scientific research conducted at Columbia.

Goats are generally at the margin of rural development efforts, but thanks to a well-planned initiative in Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh, efforts related to better care of goats and improved livelihoods based on these have progressed in very creative and useful ways, including progress of an endearing concept of giving goat kids (babies) a more protective childhood in the form of memna nursery (memna is the local word for goat babies or kids).

As the world wonders what the first thing Palestinians in Gaza might do after the ceasefire, I know the answer shared by so many here: we’re left with the haunting reality of sleeping each night fearing bombings at any moment. I’ve lost several family members, but I’m grateful that my mother, father, and siblings are still with me. As soon as the ceasefire agreement came into effect, my mother, father, and two brothers rushed to check on our home.

Mazin Qumsiyeh | Popular Resistance – TRANSCEND Media Service 9 Jan 2025 – My family is Greek Orthodox and Christmas falls on 7 January but we do not celebrate. Only religious observances. After all as a recipient of these messages (Paul) summed it well:“Every day, Israel is killing 50 to 100 or more Palestinians in Gaza, who are already enduring unbearable suffering. 70% of those killed are women and children, which reflects the composition of the population.

By Mazin Qumsiyeh Dec 29, 2023Why I am optimistic about 2024 despite the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip largely absent from Western media coverage? Just the two bits of news yesterday could be enough to depress us: that about 1000 children had undergone amputations without anesthesia and that Israeli trafficking business in Palestinian organs is flourishing. Well, let me explain my optimism despite the horror.
