    No comments on Gaza’s US-Israeli ‘aid’ laced with Narcotics

    Gaza’s US-Israeli ‘aid’ laced with Narcotics

    Friday, 27 June 2025 — Al Mayadeen English

    The Government Media Office in Gaza has strongly condemned what it described as “a heinous crime” after discovering Oxycodone pills hidden inside flour bags distributed through US-Israeli aid centers, widely referred to as “death traps.”

    Authorities have documented multiple citizen testimonies confirming the presence of these narcotics, sounding the alarm that “some may have been deliberately ground into or dissolved within the flour itself.”

    The office accused “Israel” of using narcotics as a “soft weapon” in a systematic effort to destroy Palestinian society, calling it “a war crime and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.”

    It urged Palestinians to avoid these centers, inspect all aid products carefully, and report suspicious findings. It also called on international bodies, including the UN Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court (ICC), to intervene, shut down the centers, and ensure aid is delivered solely through official UN and international institutions.

    Israel Monetizes Genocide in the Gaza Strip

    Friday, 27 June 225 — Al Mayadeen English

    Private contractors working with Israeli occupation forces in Gaza are being paid 5,000 shekels (around $1,500) for every Palestinian home they demolish, according to testimonies from Israeli soldiers reported by Haaretz.

    An occupation fighter described the situation: “From their perspective, any moment where they’re not demolishing houses is a loss of money, and the forces have to secure their work.”

    The demolitions often take place near aid routes and residential areas, leading to deadly confrontations with civilians.

    “For a contractor to make another 5,000 shekels and take down a house, it’s deemed acceptable to kill people who are only looking for food,” one soldier confessed.

    This demolition-for-profit system is another facet of “Israel’s” genocidal war on Gaza.

    Update on Can NHS managers deny employment rights when doctors speak up on Gaza?

    Friday, 27 June 2025 — Crowd Justice

    Dear Friends,

    I’m writing to you today with an urgent request for support for a crucial campaign that needs our collective help to succeed.

    A vital legal effort has launched a CrowdJustice page to fund its important work. This campaign is dedicated to challenging a new uniform policy at Barts Health NHS Trust that bans any visible expressions of support for Palestinians. This policy was imposed following pressure from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).

    • Amro Allan Amro Allan

    Amro Allan examines how Iran emerged from 12 days of war with its nuclear program intact, forcing a ceasefire without concessions, an act of strategic defiance that redefined the deterrence established against “Israel” and the US.

    Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR)

    In the early hours of June 13, 2025, Israel decisively expanded its war on the Axis of Resistance by targeting Iran directly. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the strikes as a blow delivered directly to “the heart” of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and, consequentially, to the regional resistance project. Justifying this aggression was an IAEA report alleging Iran’s accumulation of 408.6 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, a claim promptly mobilized as diplomatic cover for escalation and aggression.

    Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Tehran University Professor Mohammad Marandi explained that as far as Iran is concerned, what happened was not a ceasefire, but a cessation of hostilities. He further stressed that the result of this round is undoubtedly a victory for Iran and the Resistance in the region.

    The government’s decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is being rushed through Parliament. 

    It will be subject to a legal challenge, but legal action will take time and the ban on Palestine Action will have an immediate impact on the movement.

    The Global North Lives Off Intellectual Rents: The Twenty-Sixth Newsletter (2025)

    Thursday, 26 June 2025 — The Tricontinental

    Dear friends,

    Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.

    The number in the graph above, based on data from the International Monetary Fund, is not an exaggeration. Despite the growing technological and industrial capacity of countries in the Global South, countries and corporations in the Global North continue to own intellectual property patents on key products, locking the South into indefinite patent payment regimes. These include patent payments for pharmaceuticals, digital technologies (such as licensing fees for software and telecommunications infrastructure), and agricultural goods (such as genetically modified seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, and equipment). Scientific and technological advances have indeed accelerated in the Global South, with several countries – particularly in Asia – developing sophisticated high-speed rail, green technologies, and telecommunications infrastructure. Yet even in these sectors, most countries continue to pay large rents to Global North firms that own patents on key components.

    IRAN, A WORLD WAR IN ONE COUNTRY

    19 June 2025 — theplanningmotive

    As Iran secures missile dominance over the skies of Israel. As a third US aircraft carrier group approaches. As Trump calls for Iran’s unconditional surrender. As Trump calls for the evacuation of Tehran. As chatter in Tel Aviv and Washington intensifies about something big about to occur on the 20th, Iran is becoming the focus and the arena for a clash between the major powers.

    There are tariffs and there are tariffs. Tariffs applied to a youthful capitalism are to be sharply distinguished from those applied to a geriatric capitalism. The former is designed to catch up, the latter to stop falling further behind. A rising capitalism in an expanding world market can use tariffs as a means of shielding its economy from international competition in order to nurture its own industries until they can stand on their own feet. This is normally associated with state support and the centralisation of capital assisted by the state. On this basis, as in China, it can lead to the emergence of a new independent international competitor though this is a rare event, made even rarer as capitalism develops over time.

    Pepe Escobar: Iran’s Response to US Attack Just Happened & Its DEVASTATING

    Wednesday, 25 June 2025 — Danny Haiphong

    Iran just hit Israel with a devastating strike in apparent payback for the US’s attack on its nuclear sites. Israel is increasing attacks on Iran’s infrastructure as well, escalating a war that the US has plunged head first into. This next move could break Trump, however, and Pepe Escobar joins to detail just what that is as well as analyze the huge implications of the US/Israeli march to WW3 against Iran.

    Iran’s Calculus: The West Will Only Get Weaker Over Time

    Wednesday, 25  Jnue 2025 — Geopolits & Climate Change

    Roger Boyd

    The calculus for China, Russia and Iran is that the West is in long-term decline so they win by not being dragged into a possibly disastrous conflict. Russia was forced into a war with the proxy Ukraine due to the impending invasion of the Donbass by the Ukrainian army (presaged by an intensifying artillery barrage and concentration of Ukrainian forces opposite the Donbass), but it had gained eight years in which to strengthen its ability to withstand the inevitable Western attempts to destroy it economically and financially. China has skilfully stayed out of a conflict over Taiwan while its strength builds and that of the US (and its Western vassals) declines.

    Peiman Salehi

    The recent ceasefire declared between Iran and the U.S.-Israel axis might appear to be a temporary pause in escalating tensions. However, it reflects a deeper geopolitical reality: the Islamic Republic of Iran has not only withstood sustained pressure but, in many respects, has seized the strategic initiative.

    Israeli Delusions and American Encouragement Are Destroying Peace in the Middle East

    Trump Netanyahu

    The Arab world held its breath in anticipation of the resumption of U.S.-Iran negotiations on June 15 in Muscat. It seemed that a chance for de-escalation and a reasonable compromise on the nuclear program was within reach. Iran prepared a counterproposal, demonstrating its willingness to engage in dialogue despite Washington’s harsh conditions. But Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister whose statements have long lost any connection to reality, had other plans. His government, as always, chose the path of violence, terrorism, lies, and provocations. As Egypt’s Al-Ahram noted, “This was the last hope, trampled by Israeli aggression.”
