No Other Land, which recounts the criminality of Zionist “ethnic cleansing” operations in the West Bank aimed at terrorizing or driving out the local Palestinian population, has won dozens of awards and prizes at dozens of film festivals and other events throughout the world. No one has challenged the truth of its content. But the Israeli regime and its agencies are moving toward murdering the filmmakers.

2. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s call for a “Coalition of the Willing” against Russia in Ukraine, with “boots on the ground and planes in the air” and a massive increase in military spending, confirms the Labour Party is ruling as a militarist cabal, the most right-wing and authoritarian government in post-war British history

8. Public outrage grows over the forcible apprehension of two Honduran workers by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Indianapolis recently

9. In two separate overseas trips last week, New Zealand's prime minister and foreign minister move to strengthen bilateral ties with the fascistic administrations of US President Donald Trump and India’s Narendra Modi

10. None of the political parties running in Canada's hasty federal election offers a way forward for workers seeking to fight Trump’s threats, oppose rearmament and imperialist war, defend their jobs and living conditions, and reject the drive towards authoritarian forms of rule

11. A recently published Australian intelligence review calls for “urgent” powers amid intense social and political disaffection fueled by deepening social inequality, the Israeli genocide and an intensifying turn to war
