“Although I have retired, I was scheduled to teach a large lecture course on this topic in the fall as a “special lecturer” but I cannot do so under the conditions Columbia has accepted by capitulating to the Trump administration in June,” Khalidi wrote.

Columbia announced last week that it would pay more than $200m in a settlement with the federal government after the White House claimed the university failed to adequately address alleged antisemitism on campus amid protests over the Israel-Gaza war, and threatened to pull significant funding.

In the meeting held at United Nations headquarters on July 28-30, Cuba reiterated its firm commitment to the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people. It denounced the systematic violations and atrocities committed by Israel as the occupying power.

Ambassador Yuri Gala, Charge d’Affaires a.i. of the Permanent Mission of Cuba to the United Nations, affirmed in his speech at the forum that his country “has joined the call of the most international community for decisive action to end one of the longest-standing injustices of our time.”

He said injustice has worsened in these last two years, during which “Israel has perpetrated crimes against humanity, collective punishment, Apartheid, and genocide against the Palestinian people with impunity.”

Ambassador Gala recalled on Wednesday the high number of dead, injured, and displaced persons, as well as the destruction of hospitals, schools, mosques, and other civilian infrastructure, in clear violation of International Humanitarian Law, which “places us before a painful reality that lacerates the conscience of humanity.”

Gala emphasized that concrete actions are urgently needed in the UN Security Council to stop the ongoing genocide, allow for the delivery of sufficient and unrestricted humanitarian aid, and guarantee the vital work of UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East).

The Cuban representative also recalled that more than 145 countries already recognize the State of Palestine and emphasized that its admission as a full member of the UN cannot be delayed further.

Justice for Palestine cannot wait any longer. “Let us act with the urgency that humanity demands, that the Palestinian people need, as an unavoidable condition for achieving a just, lasting, and permanent peace in the Middle East,” he concluded.

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza (Guardian, 2025-07-31)

>> The #mathematics of famine are simple in Gaza. Palestinians cannot leave, war has ended farming and Israel has banned fishing, so practically every calorie its population eats must be brought in from outside.

>> Israel knows how much food is needed. It has been calibrating hunger in Gaza for decades …

>> “The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger,” a senior adviser to the then prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said in 2006…

>> … Between March and June, Israel allowed just 56,000 tonnes of food to enter the territory, Cogat records show, less than a quarter of Gaza’s minimum needs for that period.

>> Even if every bag of #UN flour had been collected and handed out, and the #GHF had developed safe systems for equitable distribution, starvation was inevitable…

Over the past week, Tel Aviv-Jaffa saw a myriad of protests, each with its own message. But the movements must now truly join forces – Gaza's children and Israel's hostages can't wait for us to build the perfect coalition

from Haaretz Today via email Israel News, Thursday, 31.07.2025 Linda Dayan

[an Israeli liberal perspective on various protests going on in Israel right now]

Each of these demonstrations carries its own message. At one, saying "starvation isn't a Jewish value" would be considered provocative; at another, signs declare "end the genocide." Some rail against the government for allowing Haredi youth to dodge the military draft, while others call for wholesale refusal to serve in the military at all.

The deprivation from starvation and siege is visible upon people’s faces. People are looking hollow-eyed and tired. We are suffering not just from hunger, but from abandonment. Palestinians have been turned into symbols of suffering and defiance, whereas what we want is not only to survive, but also to truly live and feel alive once more. Instead, as the whole world watches, for nearly two years we have been brutally murdered and tormented in the most horrific and innovative ways that a human mind can devise.

The U.N. agency tasked with distributing aid in Gaza, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, has maintained for months that it has received no specific evidence that Hamas or other armed groups were diverting its humanitarian aid in Gaza.

“These claims are used as a pretext to justify the aid distribution system supported by the Israeli authorities and the United States of America (so called GHF), which falls far from abiding to the humanitarian principles and international humanitarian law,” an UNRWA spokesperson told The Intercept in a statement.

Here is a leaflet graphic for an upcoming action in Detroit, Michigan, USA.

This action has the broadest sponsorship of any pro-Palestine action since early 2024. 😀
