Veterans For Peace has issued a strong condemnation of Marco Rubio’s McCarthyite report, Cuba, the Capital of 21st Century Communism, which was released by the State Department on July 20. The 100-page document charges Cuba with interfering in the internal affairs of the United States, while accusing U.S. peace and solidarity activists of being foreign agents of Cuba.
“Talk about turning things on their head,” responded Veterans For Peace. “It is the U.S. that has waged an economic war against Cuba for 64 years with a blockade that prevents it from normal trade relations with the U.S. and other countries, stunts its economic development, and denies it access to medicines and other essentials.
“It is the U.S. CIA that organized a failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961, setting the stage for the 1962 Cuban missile crisis that almost led to a nuclear war. It is the U.S. that is currently enforcing a deadly oil embargo on Cuba, and it is the U.S. president and secretary of state who are openly threatening a U.S. military invasion of Cuba. What has Cuba ever done to the U.S.? Cuba is being punished for declaring its independence from U.S. imperialism and for attempting to develop a socialist economic model that is not based on exploitation and profiteering.
“We reject the Trump administration’s sudden return to “anti-communism” as a means of undermining the credibility of its political opponents — whether from the Democratic Party or actual left-wing organizations. If this is an attempt to intimidate those who are organizing for a just and peaceful world, it will not work. We will not be intimidated. If Trump’s and Rubio’s sudden obsession with “communists” and “political terrorists” is telegraphing their intention for a clampdown on dissent in the U.S., we take this very seriously.
“As veterans and active duty military, we swore an oath to “defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.” We take this oath very seriously — more so than ever as the domestic enemies of our democracy ominously rear their ugly heads. We will resist.
“Veterans For Peace will not be intimidated. We stand in solidarity with Cuba and with all those who struggle for human rights and democracy in the U.S. We will support active-duty military members who refuse to participate in an illegal invasion of Cuba. We also encourage service members to refuse illegal orders to support racist ICE raids or to suppress our First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and assembly in the U.S.”
Veterans For Peace calls for an end to the 64-year-old US blockade of Cuba, and end to threats against dissent in the U.S., for the abolition of ICE and the release of all who are being held in ICE prisons.

Israeli ministers are pressing for renewed military operations in the Gaza Strip and urging the government to reject a roadmap for the second phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's cease-fire plan, Israeli media reported Friday.
The calls came during a meeting of Israel’s Security Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Thursday evening to discuss the roadmap for the plan’s second phase, according to the Israel Hayom newspaper.
Since the ceasefire agreement took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, Israel has continued to violate the deal through daily attacks on Gaza, killing 1,252 Palestinians and injuring 4,120 others, most of them women and children.
Last Friday, the Trump-chaired Peace Council announced that Hamas had approved the roadmap, while Israel was still considering its position.
Ministers Ze’ev Elkin, Bezalel Smotrich, Orit Strock and Avi Dichter called during the Cabinet meeting for the resumption of military offensive in Gaza, Israel Hayom reported.
"If Israel does not launch offensive operations for two weeks, it would mean that it has accepted the plan,” Elkin said, calling for a formal rejection of the roadmap’s provisions.
Smotrich, Strock and Dichter demanded that Netanyahu issue an official statement confirming Israel’s opposition to implementing the plan’s second phase, according to the report.
"You are good at maneuvering, but after the issuance of an official document, we must delegitimize it. We cannot continue maneuvering,” Smotrich told Netanyahu.
"Hamas must not remain. It must be erased,” he added...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday rejected a 15-point plan approved by US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace for Gaza, insisting that Israeli forces will not withdraw from the Palestinian territory until Hamas is disarmed, Anadolu reports.
“Israel rejects the 15-point document published by the Board of Peace for Gaza,” Netanyahu said in a video statement after the start of a Cabinet meeting, as cited by the daily Yedioth Ahronoth.
“The Israeli army will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is disarmed,” he added.
The Israeli premier said the disarmament must include “the heavy weapons, the less heavy weapons,” claiming that Israel wants “real disarmament, not fake disarmament.”
He said Israel is holding talks with the US on the issue, adding that Washington has proposed several ideas, “some of them are acceptable to us and some are not acceptable to us.”
The rejection came after the Board of Peace released a draft agreement on 31 July outlining principles and implementation mechanisms for the next phase of Trump’s Gaza plan. The draft includes security, administrative and transitional arrangements for the enclave, as well as a proposed political track.

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance movement Hamas reaffirmed its commitment to the understandings reached with mediators and the so-called "Peace Board" regarding the roadmap for completing the implementation of the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
In a statement released on Sunday, Hamas said it remained committed to responsibly implementing the agreed terms under the 15 provisions and establishing a clear timetable for their implementation.
“The priority at this stage must be to ensure the implementation of the agreement in all its phases and obligations,” Hamas said, stressing that this should lead to a complete ceasefire and an end to attacks against the Palestinian people.
The movement said the process should also include the completion of the withdrawal, the opening of crossings, the entry of humanitarian aid and shelter supplies, the launch of reconstruction efforts, and enabling the National Committee to begin carrying out its duties...

from Tehran Times
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr has set out six conditions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, saying the strategic waterway will remain closed until the United States changes its hostile conduct toward Iran.
In a message released on Saturday, Zolqadr said, “Until America corrects its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened.”
He outlined six measures that would constitute a change in US policy toward the country:
The senior security official said the six points represented the demands of the Iranian people, who had expressed their position through an ongoing presence “on the battlefield and in the streets” for 160 days.
“The Supreme National Security Council will never back down, neither in war nor in negotiations,” Zolqadr said.
His statement comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts concerning arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz, a vital international shipping corridor whose reopening has become a central issue in discussions involving Iran, Oman and other regional and international actors.

President Trump on Thursday threatened “leakers” with jail time over reports about dwindling US military stockpiles as a result of the Iran war, and claimed the US had plenty of munitions available.
“The US has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the US as needed,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country’s history. The ‘leakers’ of these treasonous statements are being hunted down,” the president added.
Some of the most significant reports about the shortage of advanced munitions didn’t come from media reports but from analyses published by the think tank the Center for International Studies (CSIS), which used publicly available data to produce its estimates...

(This is why these fascists seek to brand any resistance from at home as 'far left political terrorism' as they simultaneously attempt to destroy any and all institutions who monitor and uphold international law.)
from MEMO
Throughout history, almost every national liberation struggle has been labelled “terrorism” by the powers exercising colonial rule or foreign occupation. This strategy is nothing new.
The British Empire branded IRA fighters in Ireland and EOKA guerrillas in Cyprus as terrorists. France portrayed Algeria’s National Liberation Front (FLN) as a criminal organisation. The same happened to the Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO), the People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) in Namibia, and even Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress (ANC).
History, however, vindicated these movements and condemned the colonial regimes that sought to perpetuate their domination.
This pattern reveals a constant: those who occupy a territory seek to strip the occupied people of any legitimacy to resist.
This narrative, however, encounters clear limits within international law itself.
From the United Nations Charter to Resolution 1514 (XV) on decolonisation and Resolution 2625 (XXV), which reaffirms the principle of peoples’ self-determination, the understanding has been consolidated that peoples subjected to colonial domination, foreign occupation or racist regimes have the right to struggle for their liberation.
Several subsequent resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly recognised the legitimacy of national liberation movements and acknowledged that such resistance may take the form of armed struggle, provided that it remains subject to the rules of international humanitarian law.
This is precisely why the international community has never automatically equated national liberation movements with terrorist organisations.
However, it does not eliminate the political and legal right of a people to resist occupation. Confusing these two dimensions serves only the interests of occupying powers, because it transforms a conflict of a political and legal nature into a mere policing matter.
The history of the so-called “State of Israel” itself exposes this contradiction...
