In Gaza, Israel continues to massacre children, women and men, while its ongoing blockade of essential supplies creates a looming water shortage and pushes municipal services toward collapse.
On Wednesday, Israel carried out its latest serial murder of Palestinian civil police and security personnel. At least nine were killed and many more wounded in a missile strike on police headquarters in a Gaza City park amid the tents of thousands of forcibly displaced people.
Meanwhile, Ireland has rejected dozens of student visa applications from Palestinians in Gaza who had already received admission and full scholarships to Irish universities. Some say this is an effort to appease the far right.
On today’s program, we’ll be joined from Ireland by reporter Abubaker Abed to discuss the students’ plight and developments in Gaza.
Asa Winstanley will report on a landmark legal victory: A top UK employment tribunal has enshrined new protections for anti-Zionists.
Jon Elmer will report on the loss of more than one-third of the US military’s MQ–9 Reaper drone fleet in Iran and Yemen.
He’ll also bring us the latest on the Strait of Hormuz and analyze newly released Hizballah operations footage from the days leading up to the June ceasefire.
Nora Barrows-Friedman will start us off with news from across Palestine and Lebanon, including a report from Roqayyah Chamseddine in Beirut.
Please join Asa, Jon, Nora, Ali Abunimah and Tamara Nassar for all this and more.
Thank you for reading, listening to and sharing all our original news and analysis at The Electronic Intifada.
