Bombs Don’t Build Themselves 

Who’s Arming Israel’s Wars? 


Since October 7, 2023, Israel has dropped explosive power equivalent to seven times the Hiroshima bomb on Gaza. Where does this lethal arsenal originate, and which nations and corporations fuel this crisis? This Roundtable examines the global arms trade network supplying weapons used against civilians, tracing supply chains, transit routes, and complicit entities. Panelists will unpack international legal frameworks meant to prevent these transfers—including the Arms Trade Treaty and humanitarian law—while assessing enforcement failures. Focusing on the arms pipeline to Israel, the discussion explores existing accountability mechanisms and how advocates can strengthen them.

They Uncovered the Truth About the Genocide in Gaza. Now They Are Being Persecuted.


At the last Venice Film Festival, the film “NAZA” won the Special Jury Prize, and continues to win awards in festivals worldwide. “NAZA” is a documentary that examines the civilian casualties of Israel's genocide in Gaza and the systems behind the targeting and killings of Palestinians.

It was directed by two Israeli journalists and filmmakers, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. The film caused a huge backlash from the Israeli government, although they never watched it. Now, the Israeli government threatens to revoke their citizenship, and seeks legal action against those who participated in the film.

This is the reality of any resister who wants to bring the truth to light in Israel. We must support and show them that we are here to back them up.

Israel isolating Palestinian Journalist

Middle East Monitor 

Israeli prison authorities have continued to hold Palestinian journalist and administrative detainee Bushra al-Tawil in isolation for 46 straight days, Palestinian prisoners’ organizations said Wednesday.

The Palestinian Prisoner Society, Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, and the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs said in a statement that Tawil, 33, was transferred to Ohalei Oz isolation facility in Beersheba in southern Israel.

She was moved there from Neve Tirza prison in central Israel after being held in isolation at Damon prison in Haifa in northern Israel, according to the statement.

The groups said the repeated transfers and continued isolation have prevented her legal team from visiting her, despite several requests submitted by lawyers from the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs.

A lawyer was informed Wednesday that Tawil had again been transferred to Ohalei Oz, preventing the scheduled visit, the statement said.

The organizations urged international organizations operating in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly the International Committee of the Red Cross, to urgently intervene to end her isolation and secure her release.

The groups said Tawil’s case highlights “the growing policy of isolating Palestinian prisoners, including women,” noting that the practice has become “systematic” in recent months, leaving detainees unable to know the allegations against them or challenge them, while also causing psychological harm.
