  Belal Muhammad   will walk to the octagon with the Palestinian flag on his back as he prepares to defend his welterweight title for the first time at   UFC 315   in Montreal on May 10. While he has carried the flag with him in previous fights, there was some question about whether or not he would be allowed after the flag was briefly removed from his UFC profile. The flag was later restored with Muhammad stating that it was  just a mistake that the UFC quickly rectified. “Yeah, 100 percent,” Muhammad told MMA Fighting about walking out with the Palestinian flag. “We’ve talked about it and they’ve accepted it. Nothing is going to stop me from doing it.” Muhammad, whose parents hail from Palestine, has been very outspoken about the ongoing conflict there ever since fighting first occurred. He’s run fundraisers and shown his support for Palestine through interviews and social media. He plans to do the same in the days leading up to his fight against  Jack De...

  To conquer a place is to fundamentally subdue its population. This must be clearly differentiated from ‘occupation’, a specific legal term that governs the relationship between a foreign “occupying power” and the occupied nation under international law, particularly the   Fourth Geneva Convention . When Israeli forces were ultimately compelled to redeploy from the Gaza Strip in 2005, a direct consequence of the persistent resistance of the Palestinian population there, the United Nations resolutely insisted that the Gaza Strip  remained  an occupied territory under international law. This position stood in stark contradiction to that of Israel, which conveniently produced its own legal texts that designated Gaza a ‘ hostile entity ‘ – thus, not an occupied territory. Let us try to understand what appears to be a confusing logic: Israel proved incapable of sustaining its military occupation of Gaza, which  began  in June 1967. The paramount reason for Isra...

  GUREE, Indian-administered Kashmir — The armored vehicles came at dusk as families were preparing dinner. Two days earlier, gunmen had   killed   26 people, most of them tourists, in a remote Himalayan meadow. Now hundreds of Indian soldiers descended on this tiny village, hunting for suspects. They encircled the home of Adil Hussain Thoker, one of the militants accused of carrying out the attack, forcing villagers into the surrounding rice fields as darkness fell. At midnight, a thunderous blast ruptured the silence — “the earth shook beneath our feet,” recalled one local, speaking like others in this story on the condition of anonymity because he feared for his safety. The two-story brick and wood house was reduced to rubble. Indian officials say they are carrying out controlled demolitions of homes where explosives have been found. Thoker’s family members vehemently deny the charge and say they haven’t seen or heard from Adil since 2018. “What happened in Pahalgam is...

  Ex-GOP Senator and Republican Jewish Coalition chair Norm Coleman proclaimed with a straight face that Jews control the world during  a Jerusalem conference featuring a speech by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.  Former US Senator Norm Coleman has raised eyebrows by declaring that “the masters of the universe are Jews” at a major Zionist lobby event in Jerusalem. In an address to a summit hosted by the Adelson-funded Jewish News Syndicate on April 27, Coleman pointed to various major technology firms founded by Jews, suggesting the shared religion of the companies’ creators should translate into a greater zeal for censoring criticism of Israel. “And when you think about it, the Masters of the Universe are Jews! We’ve got Altman at OpenAI, we’ve got [Facebook founder Mark] Zuckerberg, we’ve got [Google founder] Sergey Brin, we’ve got a group across the board. Jan Koum, y’know, founded WhatsApp. It’s us.” The remarks came as Coleman lamented that pro-Israel propagandists ar...

  The UN rights chief called on countries to halt a “ humanitarian catastrophe ” in Gaza, where a total Israeli blockade on aid is pushing the Palestinian territory towards a collapse of critical life-saving support. “As the complete blockade of assistance essential for survival enters its ninth week, there must be concerted international efforts to stop this humanitarian catastrophe from reaching a new, unseen level,” Volker Turk said in a statement. Israel strictly controls all inflows of international aid vital for the 2.4 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. For the latest updates on the Israel-Palestine conflict, visit our dedicated page. It halted aid deliveries to Gaza on March 2, days before the collapse of a ceasefire that had significantly reduced hostilities after 15 months of war. Supplies are dwindling and the UN’s World Food Program last Friday said it had sent out its “last remaining food stocks.” The UN rights office cautioned that Gaza bakeries had now stopped w...
