On World Press Freedom Day, any claim to defend press freedom rings hollow if it ignores the primary source of violence against journalists today: the Israeli genocidal state.

This is the Church, convent, and school of the Salvatorian Sisters in Yaron, Lebanon. I studied in one of their schools. The complex had remained standing until yesterday, when Israel deliberately destroyed it. Because they are destroying everything, the very fabric of life.

Amal Khalil, a Lebanese journalist, was targeted today by the IDF in South Lebanon, together with other colleagues. Two were killed, one injured and Amal is still under the rubble. The Red Cross tried to extract her but they were targeted too by the Israelis and had to retreat.

A prey cannot negotiate with its predator. All it would achieve is drawing closer, only to be devoured without resistance.

Lebanese Red Cross medic Hassan Badawi was killed by Israel today. His ambulance was bombed by an Israeli drone, killing him and wounding two of his colleagues. This is not an exceptional event; it is Israeli policy. Rest in peace, hero.

When we filed the complaint against Mr. Ofer, his immediate response was to issue threats directed at my address. He now faces an additional case in Belgium for those threats. The era of impunity is coming to an end.

Israeli airstrikes destroyed a synagogue in Tehran today. After mosques and churches, now they have also destroyed a synagogue. Nothing new. Zionists have bombed synagogues in the 1950's Iraq, in false-flag operations to push Iraqi Jews to Palestine. Zionism is antisemitism.

It is now confirmed, after the F15, Blackhawk down. Air supremacy was the only claim Trump made that was credible. The only claim. Now even that is debatable

Yes, Trump did change the Iranian regime. He made it bolder in projecting power across the region. He fostered a sense that Iran had little to lose and much to gain, and a growing conviction: if it could confront the United States and endure, then who, realistically, would dare stand against it?

Empires rarely fall in a single moment. They are first seen differently. That moment may be here for American hegemony. In my latest article I argue that the Iran war may be America's Suez moment. Read what that means here 👇🏽 aboujahjah.substack.com/p/americas-s...

Israel has now become the first state to codify a death sentence that applies in practice to one ethnic group, while another is effectively shielded from it.

The complicity of the world in Gaza has normalized the killing of children; the killing of doctors, aid workers, and journalists; the targeting of schools, hospitals, mosques, churches, ambulances, and of humanity itself. This is the template now. It will be applied everywhere.

Israel hunted down and murdered journalists Fatima Ftouni (Al Mayadeen) and Ali Shuayb (Al-Manar) in separate targeted strikes, today. After 250+ journalists murdered in Gaza, this is clearly official Israeli policy. Journalism is now a killable offense. Silence is complicity.

Trump: we are victorious, the war is practically over. Reality: This is a war of attrition that could last for years. The Greeks knew it, Hubris triggers Nemesis. An empire lead by such a clown is in decline.

For the #HindRajabFoundation I had the honor to address representatives of 42 states at the Hague Group meeting in The Hague. Our message: prosecute war criminals under universal jurisdiction and investigate your own nationals who participated in the genocide in Gaza. ⬇️ www.hindrajabfoundation.org

The Lebanese resistance is fighting to defend the country. Resistance against occupation is a right recognized under international law. Israel has chosen to destroy Lebanese villages and towns and cities. Collective punishment constitutes a war crime under international law.

The Lebanese government has decided to outlaw the resistance. No surprise here. Every capitulation regime in history (Vichy, Quisling, etc..) has criminalized resistance against occupation. International law, however, recognizes the right of peoples under occupation to resist.

The world is not ready for the International blood feud that will ensue from assassinating the highest cleric in Shia Islam. May God help us all.

Dear progressive liberal, when you support an illegal aggression carried out by a genocidal regime, led by an indicted war criminal serving as prime minister, and then invoke human rights violations as justification, you reveal the depth of your moral bankruptcy. Not surprising.

What will happen now? Four scenarios for the unfolding American-Israeli war against Iran. open.substack.com/pub/aboujahj...

Forget their indicted war criminal prime minister. Forget even Ben Gvir and Smotrich. This is their “liberal” opposition leader clearly defending the project of Greater Israel. Zionism is a project of permanent war and expansion. mondoweiss.net/2026/02/isra...

Yesterday, it was difficult to watch two Americans debate who has a claim on our land based on the bible. Let's have a closer look at that biblical claim and what it really mean, yesterday and today. It is time to talk about Canaan. open.substack.com/pub/aboujahj...

In this article I try to look for truth beyond the noise. "...Epstein is not a hiccup in the system; he is a template...There is a cultural stench emanating from that episode that escapes purely technocratic analysis. To grasp it, we need mythology..." open.substack.com/pub/aboujahj...

There has always been an idea that the practices of the Israeli occupation in Palestine have, from day one, been an experiment of what is coming to your streets, towns, and cities everywhere. An extremely surveilled society, built within walls and checkpoint networks.

1/ You gotta give Trump a little credit. He doesn’t really push the dictator line against Maduro like many other clowns here do. Dictator, Freedom, Democracy, that is so 2003. Trump knows better than to use neocon tropes.

What happened this morning demonstrates the weakness of Maduro not the strength of Trump. Let them try to do this in Cuba, it is closer to Mar Lago. As for being lawless thugs, that is not new. They invaded Iraq illegaly and they normalised genocide. Business as usual for empire.

Law was born from power, not against it. Yet, when overwhelming power turns criminal, law becomes the last option left. Can law be turned against those who created it? In this short essay, I attempt to answer that question.⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/aboujahj...

Israel kills people in Syria and calls Syrians who fight back terrorists. It kills people in Lebanon and calls Lebanese who fight back terrorists. And for more than 78 years, it is killing Palestinians in Palestine and calling those who fight back terrorists. No! It's Resistance.

“Zionism, like Nazism, like ISIS, like the Khmer Rouge, like Hutu nationalism — like every genocidal regime in history — must end.” Read my new column, The Decade of Reckoning: 30-3.org/news/details...

Francesca Albanese is now under sanctions by the U.S. for being vocal against genocide and war crimes. For having humanity, honesty and courage. For Trump, Netanyahu and their stooges, no good deed goes unpunished. And yet, they will not have the last word. Francesca will!

🚨🚨The #HindRajabFoundation has filed a criminal complaint in the UK against elite unit Shayetet 13, under the command of Vice Admiral David Saar Salama over Israel’s illegal raid on the British-flagged aid ship #Madleen and the abduction of 12 people. ⬇️ www.hindrajabfoundation.org/perpetrators...

When you Google my name, the first result is a sponsored defamation article published on an Israeli government website. Should a tech giant be allowing authoritarian genocidal governments lead by a wanted war criminal to manipulate public perception through paid disinformation?

CNN has reached out to Sa’ar’s office for comment on the complaint. His spokesperson told CNN that Sa’ar will “carry out his planned visit to Brussels as scheduled.” Ok. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/16/m...

From South Africa’s genocide case to The Hague Group, The Global South is now driving justice at The Hague. Meanwhile, Europe and the U.S. scramble to protect Israeli war criminals. The old order is fading—accountability is no longer theirs to control.

The HRF made the the details of my complaint against Israeli Minister Chikli available. This is an important line in the sand against Israeli intimidation tactics. Belgium recognized having jurisdiction on this and refuse granting immunity to Chikli. www.hindrajabfoundation.org/inciters/hrf...

This is the last article Ali Abunimah wrote before his arrest by Swiss authorities. The piece focused on our conversation about justice and accountability. Clearly, some countries are more threatened by those seeking justice than by war criminals themselves. electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-ab...

What remains of my parents' house in South Lebanon. This was the scene of so many memories and beautiful moments for all of us. Despite the destruction, these treasures of the heart can never be erased or destroyed, no matter what they do to us. We feel pain but no despair.

Gaza... Keep your eyes on Palestine.

This was my position always. It remains my position today. Hopefully, many Syrians will also see things this way. I really hope that the warriors of #Lebanon (Army or resistance) will remain in Lebanon to defend the country against any invader. And that our eyes remain on #Palestine. #Syria

In Syria today, Erdogan and Netanyahu are playing the roles of Stalin and Hitler, with Syria as their Poland. Believing that stability or peace can emerge from this is utterly delusional. This could very well mark the beginning of a regional war across the Middle East.

How can #MosheTetro, who had executive responsibility for the starvation and attacks on hospitals in Gaza, be accredited as an attaché in #Belgium? This, while the ICC is prosecuting Netanyahu and Gallant for the very same crimes carried out under him?👇🏽 www.hindrajabfoundation.org/perpetrators...

🚨The #HindRajabFoundation has filed a complaint with the ICC against Israeli war criminal Liam Shkedi. Shkedi is currently in #Dubai, and we have formally requested the #UAE authorities to arrest him under international law. 👇🏾 www.hindrajabfoundation.org/perpetrators...

Our people have returned to their villages with pride. This video is from Aita, the last village on the border where the resistance fought valiantly from the very first day until yesterday. Meanwhile, the settlers remain fearful to move back north. These hills know us, embrace us, and reject them.

Forever grateful to those who sacrificed their lives to defend the Lebanese people and the people of Gaza. Forever grateful to those whose steadfastness, against all odds, forced the enemy to accept this ceasefire without achieving any of its strategic goals. Glory to the martyrs.

The announced Minister of Defence of Belgium in the upcoming center-right government, Theo Francken, advocating for the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza's population. Belgian state security must investigate his ties to the Netanyahu regime. Belgium cannot afford a mnister in favor of war crimes

The fact that Netanyahu and Gallant, along with hopefully all Israeli war criminals, are unable to set foot in Belgium or be received by its government is a significant relief to many of us. The next logical step must be a complete boycott of this rogue state that is led by an indicted war criminal.

"International law is antisemitic." Did they say that already? I haven’t been checking the news the last hour. If they didn't say it yet, they will. I also expect that they will invent new terms, for example, "Legal Pogrom."

All of us who were labeled extremists for stating that Netanyahu and his regime are criminals have been vindicated today. Netanyahu is now officially a fugitive, unable to visit most countries in the world, including those in the EU, without facing arrest. This is historic!
