"Hind Rajab Foundation files complaint in Italy against ‘Israeli’ soldier
The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a criminal complaint in Italy against ‘Israeli’ soldier Yonatan Chalich, accusing him of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide linked to the war on Gaza.
Chalich is currently vacationing in Tuscany.
The Brussels-based organization, named after a young Palestinian girl killed in Gaza in early 2024, announced the filing on September 21.
It states that its investigation links Chalich to three specific incidents during his deployment in Gaza between October 2023 and August 2024, while serving with the Tycoon Company of the Givati Shaked Battalion under the 401st Armored Brigade."

Daar zit wat in, in die opmerking over het boeren-gedogen gedrag. Het gevoel van onaantastbaarheid misschien ook vanwege het succesvolle "zonder ons is er geen eten" fabeltje. 🧐 Wel jammer dat de NOS er meteen voor kiest om het woord boeren zo snel mogelijk niet meer te noemen en het dan over XR op de snelweg te hebben (Dat stukje A12 is geen snelweg, en daar mag je geen 100 of 130 rijden).
👉"Zelfs al waren ze niet bewust uit op doden of gewonden, dan namen ze wel het risico dat er treinen zouden ontsporen of op elkaar zouden botsen, of dat er iets anders zou gebeuren wat ze niet hadden voorzien. Mogelijk is er gedacht na de acties op de snelwegen dat ze alles konden doen, dat er toch niet wordt opgetreden."👈

Key Developments
France authorized Benjamin Netanyahu’s aircraft to cross its airspace despite the ICC arrest warrant.
European Parliament member Emma Fourreau said it was the fifth such authorization and accused France of disregarding international law.
Israeli media reported that Netanyahu would make an unusually brief UN visit, without meeting US President Donald Trump and amid expected protests."

"The Hague Group: South Africa Leads Coalition Against U.S./Israel’s “Unilateral Bullying” of the ICC
(video)
At the United Nations this week, President Trump repeated his attacks on the International Criminal Court and urged other nations to pull out of the global tribunal. The United States earlier this year imposed sanctions on the president of the ICC and a senior prosecutor who was part of the team that issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for crimes against humanity in Gaza, and the Trump administration is reportedly preparing more sanctions against the institution itself. Meanwhile, a coalition of nations has formed to defend international law in solidarity with the people of Palestine under the banner of the Hague Group, which was established last year by Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa.
“It’s an absolute low point for the sacred grounds of the United Nations that President Trump has shown up here and attacked the international legal order,” says Varsha Gandikota, executive secretary of the Hague Group.
We also air remarks from South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola, who spoke earlier this week at the historic Riverside Church in New York City to urge respect for international law."

"Macklemore’s "Hind’s Hall" hits iTunes top 10 after removal from Ed Sheeran tour
The chart surge came after intense public focus surrounding Macklemore removal as an opening act on Ed Sheeran’s North American stadium tour.
Several high-profile opening acts, including Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham, and Beoga, withdrew from the tour in solidarity, sparking a broader industry debate over political expression on major concert stages.
Rapper Macklemore’s protest anthem "Hind’s Hall" has surged into the top 10 on the US iTunes singles chart, propelled by a viral wave of streaming and public interest following his controversial removal from Ed Sheeran’s North American stadium tour.
The track, which was released independently in May 2024 with all streaming proceeds pledged to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), has re-entered mainstream music charts as debates over political speech on major concert stages intensify.
The track serves as a direct, anti-war anthem written in support of global university campus demonstrations calling for an immediate ceasefire and institutional divestment from ‘Israel’ amid the ongoing aggression in Gaza.
The title references two key symbols of the protest movement:
Hamilton Hall / Hind's Hall: The iconic building at Columbia University in New York City that was occupied by student protesters and symbolically renamed "Hind's Hall".
Hind Rajab: The song honors Hind Rajab, a six-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed by 'Israeli' military fire in Gaza while trapped in a vehicle alongside deceased family members while awaiting emergency responders, who were also killed.
The sudden chart revival follows Macklemore's removal from the remaining opening slots on Ed Sheeran’s "The Loop" North American tour."

"Indonesian president Prabowo chants “Free Palestine” at school anniversary
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto chanted “Free Palestine” several times during a speech on Saturday at the centennial celebration of the Darussalam Gontor Islamic Boarding School in Ponorogo, East Java, reaffirming Indonesia’s longstanding solidarity with the Palestinian people.
While welcoming foreign ambassadors attending the event, Prabowo specifically recognized Palestinian Ambassador to Indonesia Abdulfattah A.K. Al-Sattari.
The mention drew roaring applause and cheers from the thousands of students, alumni, and guests present.
Prabowo then raised his fist and chanted “Free Palestine” three times, with the crowd echoing the call in unison.
Moved by the display, Ambassador Al-Sattari approached the stage carrying a traditional Palestinian keffiyeh featuring flag accents.
He placed the scarf around the president’s neck, and the two men embraced before the audience.
Prabowo, visibly emotional, wiped his eyes and bowed his head while wearing the keffiyeh for the rest of the event.
Continuing his address, Prabowo explained the sudden outburst.
“I apologize. I was reminded of our brothers and sisters in Palestine,” he said.
“They are being massacred, bombed and attacked continuously, and we seem to be powerless to help them.”
He later chanted “Free Palestine” twice more, again drawing a strong response from the crowd.
Prabowo stressed that the ongoing suffering of Palestinians should spur Indonesia to build greater national strength.
“If we are strong, we can help our brothers and sisters who are oppressed by another regime,” he said.
Linking the issue to Indonesia’s own history, the president recalled the country’s experience under colonial rule.
“We must be determined never to be colonized again by anyone. We must be strong,” he declared, adding that a nation’s strength depends on self-reliance and effective use of its resources."

"‘Israel’ kills five in Gaza on day of Netanyahu address
Residents also reported that ‘Israeli’ drones dropped bags containing a foul-smelling substance.
‘Israeli’ forces killed five Palestinians, including a woman, and wounded dozens more across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, according to Felesteen Online, which cited medical and local sources. The violence coincided with ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the United Nations General Assembly.
Among the deadliest incidents, an ‘Israeli’ drone struck a vehicle near al-Baidar on al-Rashid Street, killing one person and wounding 16 others; footage of the strike's aftermath circulated afterward. In Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, an airstrike on another vehicle killed one person and wounded nine more.
Further south, Hassan al-Batta died from wounds sustained during shelling in Khan Younis. In Rafah's al-Mawasi area, a woman was shot dead by ‘Israeli’ forces. A man identified as Abu Mdein was critically wounded by gunfire west of al-Zahra City and later succumbed to his injuries.
Additional casualties were reported in central Gaza, where a woman was shot on Twenty Street in the Nuseirat refugee camp, and a man was wounded by ‘Israeli’ tank fire in Bureij."

"“End Times Fascism”: Naomi Klein & Astra Taylor on Billionaires, Bunkers, AI, Gaza & the Far Right
(video)
Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor launch their new book, End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World on Democracy Now! It examines how wealthy elites are preparing for “the end of the world,” even as they contribute to growing inequality, political instability and the climate crisis. The rise of modern-day fascism is “not simply a rerun,” explains Klein. “We don’t believe that history repeats on a loop. We believe that we’re in something more like a sequel, where the logics of fascism, which are the logics of dehumanization, of othering, of racial supremacy and hierarchy, are now being applied in a time of global existential crisis.” In response, says Taylor, the growing movement seeking to resist this fatalistic vision “fundamentally needs to be grounded in a desire to stay here on Earth, to commit to this place.”"

"Italy removes ‘Israeli’ companies from Rome Airport project
Italy’s highest administrative court has ordered the removal of ‘Israeli’ defense firms, including Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, from a counter-drone protection project at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport, one of Europe’s busiest aviation hubs.
Italy’s Council of State ruled that Aeroporti di Roma (ADR), the operator of Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport, must replace an ‘Israeli’ consortium with the Italian electronic warfare company ELT Group (Elettronica S.p.A.) within 60 days.
The decision effectively ends the involvement of Rafael, the maker of ‘Israel’s’ Iron Dome system, and its partner Altintech in the airport’s anti-drone defenses.
The ruling overturns a May 2024 decision by the Regional Administrative Court of Lazio that had upheld the original contract award to the ‘Israeli’ group."

"Oud-ministers en ex-diplomaten vragen om strenger beleid Israël
door anp woensdag, 02 september 2026 om 11:23
DEN HAAG (ANP) - Ruim tweehonderd voormalige bewindslieden, oud-ambassadeurs en ambtenaren vragen in een brief aan het kabinet om strengere maatregelen tegen Israël. Onder de ondertekenaars zijn Job Cohen, Ahmed Aboutaleb, Jozias van Aartsen, Wim Deetman en Joris Voorhoeve.
Ze wijzen in de brief op de voortdurende Israëlische bombardementen op Gaza ondanks een staakt-het-vuren en de steeds verder verslechterende situatie op de Westelijke Jordaanoever. Ook geven ze aan dat de Palestijnse Autoriteit stelselmatig financieel wordt verzwakt. Ook worden duizenden Palestijnen zonder eerlijk proces vastgehouden.
De ondertekenaars, onder wie 111 ambtenaren, vragen onder meer om een volledig wapenembargo van Israël, aandringen op het opschorten van handelsvoordelen van Israël met de EU en ongehinderde toegang voor hulpverleners tot Gaza. Het is niet de eerste keer dat oud-politici en -diplomaten het kabinet oproepen tot een hardere opstelling richting Israël.
Donderdag debatteert de Tweede Kamer over de handelsboycot van Israëlische nederzettingen."

"‘I survived the Taliban to go to school – now the UK has blocked me from studying at Oxford’
Aisha Khurram has not seen her family in five years after she fled Afghanistan – now she won’t be able to fulfil her dream of studying at Oxford University due to new Home Office rules"
An Afghan human rights activist who was offered a place on a prestigious course at Oxford University has been blocked from entering the UK.
Aisha Khurram, a 27-year-old from Kabul, was awarded a rare place on a masters course in diplomatic studies at the university in May, just two months after the government implemented an “emergency brake” on visas for people coming from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Cameroon and Sudan.
She is one of 15 Afghan people offered places at the University of Oxford this academic year, freedom of information data shows, most of whom will be unable to start their studies after the Home Office reported a high number and proportion of visa-linked asylum claims are linked to the sponsored study route.
Ms Khurram told The Independent that after surviving the Taliban, separating from her family and having to retake her degree, she was heartbroken she couldn’t complete her education at one of the world’s most prestigious institutions not because of her ability – but because she’s Afghan.
“I think for me the most painful part was I actually crossed all the most difficult barriers. I survived [the] Taliban. I survived displacement. I had to rebuild my education and I had to get an offer from one of the most prestigious universities in the world."

"‘This should be condemned by any thinking human’: film industry rallies behind NAZA directors
Backing comes after Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor were threatened with having their citizenship revoked and accused of treason
Film industry heavyweights across the globe have expressed solidarity with Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, the Oscar-winning Israeli directors of documentary NAZA, who have been threatened with having their citizenship revoked by Israel’s culture minister, who accused them of “treason against the state”.
NAZA, which was produced by the Guardian, is named for an acronym euphemistically used by Israel’s intelligence service to indicate how many civilians it expects to die in an airstrike on Gaza. It includes interviews with 24 Israeli military or intelligence soldiers and officers who outlined the AI-powered targeting systems used to bombard Gaza, resulting in the mass killing of Palestinian civilians.
The film builds on revelations first published by the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine, the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call and the Guardian between 2023 and 2025.
The 80-minute documentary won the special jury prize at this year’s Venice film festival on Saturday, after receiving a 25-minute standing ovation – a festival record. On Sunday, Israel’s culture minister, Miki Zohar, accused the directors of being willing to “harm their homeland in order to receive applause from antisemites around the world”."

"The world banned landmines and cluster munitions. Can it stop killer AI before it is too late?
Campaigners race to rein in systems ‘designed to kill’, as autonomous weapons lower the threshold for war and increase civilian harm
Throughout the history of war, the machinery of killing has always left room for a human to intervene.
A soldier could see the person in front of them and choose to maim rather than kill; a pilot could identify the target, question the intelligence and decide not to strike.
Technology has been steadily changing that. Autonomous weapons systems now threaten to remove any meaningful human control over the use of force in conflict.
AI-assisted targeting was first deployed by Israel in its genocidal war on Gaza and then in Iran, with strikes happening at unprecedented speed - over 1,000 hits in the first 24 hours of the US-Israeli war, suggesting the use of automated systems.
For more than 13 years, the global coalition Stop Killer Robots has been fighting to prevent that future, pushing governments towards a ban on machines capable of selecting and engaging targets without oversight."

The real question, therefore, is not why resistance exists.
The question the world should be asking is why military occupations, colonial processes and regimes that deny entire peoples the right to determine their own destiny continue to exist.
As long as there is colonisation, apartheid, illegal annexation and denial of self-determination, there will be armed resistance movements.
And international law, despite political pressure and attempts to criminalise liberation movements, continues to uphold the fundamental principle that the freedom of peoples is not an act of terrorism, but a fundamental right of humanity."

"‘You’re Going to Die’: Ben-Gvir Turns Palestinian Prison Abuse into Election Campaign
Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is openly campaigning for harsher treatment of Palestinian detainees, showcasing deprivation, threats and degrading prison conditions.
Key Developments

His campaign also released AI-generated imagery depicting a malnourished Palestinian detainee to contrast prison conditions before and after his tenure.
The campaign comes amid extensive documentation of torture, starvation, degrading treatment and deaths among Palestinians held in Israeli custody."

"“Inequality Emergency”: Ahead of U.N. General Assembly, Oxfam Urges Action on Climate, AI & Gaza
(video)
As world leaders prepare to head to New York for the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Week, Democracy Now! speaks with Amitabh Behar, executive director of Oxfam International. “We live in a very different world from 1945,” when the U.N. was formed, says Behar. “You cannot continue with the veto power.” And with António Guterres soon stepping down, Behar stresses that the United Nations’ next secretary-general must be a woman — “a fundamental shift we need to make.”
He also argues that while the world is “torn apart” by inequality, “there are real possibilities of change.” Behar cites the G20’s International Panel on Inequality and “movements across the world” aimed at “changing regimes,” including in Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and India."
