June 12th,2025 Palestinians in Gaza spent Eid under siege, enduring starvation and relentless war. The limited aid that is allowed in is tightly controlled at U.S.-Israeli aid distribution points. Over the past 12 days, eyewitnesses and human rights organizations report that Israeli forces have killed 110 Palestinians and injured 583 others—people who were simply waiting in line for food. Holy God, We remember that you were born under occupation, that you broke bread with the poor, and that your table made no room for injustice but welcomed

Israel is desperate for USA involvement to cover even more of the Genocidal, Murderous actions of its government – Peter • Israel and Iran have traded heavy blows for the third consecutive day as the death toll climbs in both countries.• Iran’s top diplomat has accused Israel of crossing a “red line” by targeting its nuclear sites, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Iran will pay a “heavy price” for targeting civilians.• US President Donald Trump has said “many calls and meetings” are now

He is seriously deranged – Peter We know that Donald Trump has long had a soft spot for Vladimir Putin. But now it’s almost as if he’s given him a spot in his administration.The US president has said that Russia’s Putin on the weekend had phoned to offer himself as a new peace mediator in the war between Israel and Iran: “We had a long talk about it,” Trump told the American news network ABC. “I would be open to it. He [Putin] is ready.”Trump himself

The amazing guts of some people – Peter The memories of “starving children” with horrific injuries still haunt emergency doctor Mohammed Mustafa.Dr Mustafa, known as Dr Mo, recently returned from his second volunteer medical mission to Gaza and the 35-year-old is considering a third.He said the only way to describe the situation inside Gaza was “apocalyptic”.“You see dogs eating people in the streets, dead bodies in the streets, [dogs] pulling blown up arms out of rubble, or a leg and running away with it,” he told

I’m astounded that the media is critical of Iran but seem to miss that Israel STARTED this war which is potentially the next WW – Peter Iran has sent “hundreds” of missiles towards Israel in response to Israel’s wave of bombings across Iran, which are believed to have killed a significant number of military leaders and nuclear scientists. US President Donald Trump says he “tried to save Iran humiliation and death”, and insists a nuclear deal is still possible. What’s next? Talks between Iran and the

The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) has welcomed the Australian government’s decision to impose sanctions on Israeli ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich – two of the most extreme figures in Israel’s far-right government. But while this marks a small step in the right direction, it is profoundly inadequate. These sanctions come 613 days after Israel began its genocide in Gaza, and respond only to incitement and violence related to Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise in the West Bank. Not to the broader apparatus of Israeli apartheid,

The Righteous Jews by Jonathan Kuttab One thing that gives me hope in these terrible times is thinking about Righteous Jews:  After the Holocaust, Jews recognized the courage and sacrifice of the very few gentiles who risked much to help Jews escape from the Nazi monsters who were rounding them up and shipping them off to concentration camps. These persons came to be known as the “Righteous Gentiles.” I, too, want to recognize Jewish individuals and organizations who are willing, often at great personal risk, to

Those Who Live by the Sword, Shall Die by the Sword by Jonathan Kuttab The Israeli attack on Iran is very likely the start of a long-term regional war between Israel and Iran, and perhaps include other Arab or Islamic countries.
