Health Care Workers Spoke Out for Their Peers in Gaza. Then Came Backlash. Medical institutions are silencing their staff and impeding efforts to build solidarity with medical workers in Gaza.

This one accuses over a dozen professional academic associations in the United States of failing to combat antisemitism within their ranks. The American Psychological Association, is unfairly maligned as among the very worst offenders.

Like many other health care providers, the Israelis banned US Dr. Feroze Sidhwa from entering Gaza despite receiving approval & participating in two medical missions. (Dr. Sidhwa spoke at the JVP national meetings and for a Health Advisory Council webinar.)

If enacted, it would mark a further escalation in Israel’s long-running effort to cripple UNRWA’s operations in the occupied territories.

Israeli ministries are already barred from engaging with the UN agency, but the new measure would prohibit utility companies from supplying power or water to any property registered under UNRWA and would allow the state to confiscate agency-registered land.

Israel’s parliament advanced a bill to strip UNRWA of access to water and electricity, passing its first reading in a narrow 28–8 vote and sending it to a Knesset committee for further action.

The Gazan doctors still languishing in Israeli prisons While some were released in the ceasefire, Israel still holds 80 Palestinian medical workers without charge. Their families are demanding their freedom.

Held without charge or trial in dire conditions, these doctors are denied contact with the outside world, save for infrequent lawyer visits. They face physical violence, medical neglect, and starvation, as a result of which dozens of detainees have died.

β€œDespite the past month seeing more items in the markets, blankets and mattresses are almost nowhere to be seen, new clothes are also near-impossible to come by, with children still wearing summer clothes of shorts and t-shirts, and most of them barefoot.

PCHR Documents Testimonies of Systematic Rape and Sexual Torture in Israeli Detention against Released Palestinian Detainees The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) documents one of the most heinous crimes that can be committed against human beings and their dignity in the modern era. In recent weeks, PCHR staff collected new testimonies from a number of Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip who were recently released from Israeli prisons and detention […]

According to the PCHR, these acts of sexual violence must be understood as part of Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians, representing an attempt to inflict destruction, both physical and psychological, upon an entire people.

West Bank: Israel Emptying Refugee Camps a Crime Against Humanity The Israeli government’s forced displacement of the populations of three West Bank refugee camps in January and February 2025 amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The 32,000 people reportedly removed have not been permitted to return to their homes, many of which Israel forces have deliberately demolished.

Life in Gaza for the past two years has been a process of losing everything visible β€” our families, homes, streets. It also means losing what cannot be seen: the private space of the mind, the intimacy between people, and the ability to speak without fear of being monitored by a machine.
