Pressure is intensifying across Europe for concrete action against Israel’s Itamar Ben-Gvir, over a recent video showing the violence used on Sumud Flotilla activists. Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Poland are some of the EU states calling for sanctions on Ben-Gvir.

At a Cannes Film Festival screening of Land And Freedom earlier this week, Ken Loach cited Martin Luther King Jr as he delivered powerful words of solidarity for Palestinians in Gaza.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib said that the US government is supplying Israel with white phosphorus bombs that are being used in Lebanon and are killing civilians. She called on the US government to end what she described as its complicity in war crimes and to pass the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

In Rotterdam, members of The Netherlands' Muslim community attended Eid al-Adha prayers at Moskee Essalam as celebrations took place across the city for the Islamic holiday

Itamar Ben-Gvir is often portrayed as an outlier in Israel, but he is no marginal figure. His views reflect not only where mainstream Israeli politics stand today, but also ideological currents that trace back to Israel’s founding:

Naama Srour, a 102-year-old survivor of an Israeli strike that killed at least 10 people in Deir Qanoun en-Nahr, southern Lebanon, said it was a miracle she had not been killed. Srour had left her house just minutes before the attack. She is exhausted: "I am fed up with Israeli strikes all the time"

A young Lebanese singer drew crowds in Rome after spontaneously performing the Italian classic Sara Perche Ti Amo in the streets of the Trastevere district, turning the moment into a festive public singalong:

Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a ceasefire aimed at stopping ongoing hostilities, following US-led talks in Washington DC. The deal, announced by the Trump administration, is intended to support wider efforts to reduce regional tensions linked to the war with Iran

Israeli settlers have been setting fire to crops, agricultural land, and trees across the West Bank, targeting the basic food and income sources that Palestinian families depend on. The attacks are part of a systematic settler campaign against Palestinian daily life.

Israel launched heavy strikes on residential areas in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre early this morning, hours after Israel declared large parts of south Lebanon “combat zones” and issued forced 'evacuation' orders

As Trump and Stephen Miller use domestic surveillance to suppress our constitutional rights, it’s more urgent than ever that we reform FISA and establish warrant requirements. Today’s reauthorization of FISA Section 702 completely fails to protect our privacy. I am a NO.

Making an American Citizen (1912) uses a Russian couple to depict Eastern European immigrants as abusive, backward, and unrefined. Through public interventions, the film shows the husband being forcefully civilized framing assimilation as an absolute cure for ethnic flaws.
