Exploiting their impunity, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have once again carried out a deliberate and ruthless massacre against Palestinians, this time targeting a bakery in Gaza’s Al-Nasr neighborhood.
Shortly after, the IOF committed another massacre in the same neighborhood near the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Mosque, which resulted in the injury of five Palestinians and the martyrdom of three others.

Here are Tim Norman, Patrick Henningsen and myself discussing the Skripal charade, at the Beautiful Days Festival near Exeter. At the start 90% of the audience said they believed the official narrative. At the end 80% had changed their mind.

An investigation by CNN into Israel’s strike on the Nasser Hospital this week – an attack that killed more than 20 people, including emergency workers and five journalists – is a case study in how even well-intentioned journalism, ostensibly examining Israeli crimes, ends up concealing more than it reveals.

Samar Abu Elouf (Palestine), Mahmoud Ajjour, Aged Nine, 2025.
Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
On 12 August, Samar Abu Elouf, who won the 2025 World Press Photo of the Year for the picture above, posted on her Instagram account that her son’s close friend Sami Shukour had been killed while he ‘went to look for flour to feed himself and his family’. Samar had taken Sami’s graduation photographs just before the genocide began in October 2023. Sami’s family owns one of the most famous companies in Palestine, which made halawa with tahini. ‘Among the best in Gaza’, Samar wrote. Sami, she added, ‘was killed under a hail of bullets; the sound was very terrifying… We are not just numbers; each one of us is a story’.

As China prepares to commemorate the 80th anniversary of victory over fascism on September 3, 2025, global attention turns to Beijing’s military parade. Speculation swirls about which world leaders will join President Xi Jinping—Putin’s presence is all but certain, though whispers of Trump attending seem far-fetched. Some peace advocates argue this moment offers a chance for global powers to reflect on World War II’s horrors, a sentiment aligned with the UN Charter’s spirit and urgent amid rising global tensions. Yet, European leaders’ refusal to attend, citing concerns about offending Japan, reveals a deeper issue. China’s commemoration closes the cycle of WWII anniversaries, but it begs a critical question: do we truly understand this war’s global scope, or have we allowed vital chapters to fade into obscurity?

Jonathan Hall, the UK’s Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation—whose role includes assessing whether groups like Palestine Action qualify as terrorist organisations—has personal ties to Israel: his father-in-law, Lord Dyson, is a patron of UK Lawyers for Israel, and Hall himself has vacationed in Israel and visited its counter-terrorism units. This was revealed by independent journalist and former UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray.

The shocking evidence heard in the Scottish Covid Inquiry about how people in care homes were denied dignity, love and ultimately life through withdrawal of healthcare during covid has now been echoed in England. Together held a panel discussion including the voices of whistleblowers who have not been heard and addressing fears that the inquiry will not join the dots on the evidence and that damaging new law will embed these practices if any kind of emergency is announced in future.

August 1st marked the 50th anniversary of the Helsinki Accords’ inking. The event’s golden jubilee passed without much in the way of mainstream comment, or recognition. Yet, the date was absolutely seismic, its destructive consequences reverberating today throughout Europe and beyond. The Accords not only signed the death warrants of the Soviet Union, Warsaw Pact, and Yugoslavia years later, but created a new global dynamic, in which “human rights” – specifically, a Western-centric and -enforced conception thereof – became a redoubtable weapon in the Empire’s arsenal.

More than 1.5 years have passed since the beginning of Israel’s genocidal operations in Gaza, under the veneer of eliminating Hamas. Israel has been unable to inflict any major blow to Hamas but has devastated the civilian population of the Gaza Strip.
