“Another genocide behind walls”: New report documents testimonies of r**e and sexual violence in Israeli prisons Sexual violence against Palestinians in Israeli prisons and detention centres is a de facto state policy, used as a tool of subjugation and destruction

⚠️ Gaza, Apr 12, 2026 (QNN) — Is̷r̷a̷e̷l is “systematically and deliberately weaponizing starvation” against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip by restricting and controlling the entry of goods, exacerbating the suffering of over two million Palestinians after two years of genocide.

In a statement on Sunday, the Gaza Government Media Office said the Strip is experiencing a “systematic, deliberate, and escalating policy of engineered starvation” by Is̷r̷a̷e̷l through strict control over the entry of essential goods, particularly flour and bread, posing a direct threat to the food security of more than 2.4 million people in Gaza.

In recent months, the Office said, bread production has sharply declined due to a severe shortage of flour, amid tight Israeli restrictions on the entry of goods and humanitarian aid.

The quantities allowed in have not exceeded, at best, 38% of pre-war levels, despite the humanitarian protocol agreement stipulating the entry of 600 trucks daily, an obligation the occupation has failed to meet, the Office added.

It noted that the crisis has further deepened following the suspension of flour support by the World Central Kitchen (WCK), which previously supplied 20–30 tons daily, and the reduction of flour assistance by the World Food Programme from 300 tons to 200 tons per day. Several other organizations have also halted bread and flour support programs, further worsening the humanitarian situation.

According to confirmed data, Gaza requires approximately 450 tons of flour daily, while only around 200 tons are currently available, creating a severe daily deficit.

Around 30 bakeries are currently operating, producing approximately 133,000 bread bundles per day, including 48,000 distributed free of charge and 85,000 sold at subsidized prices through 142 authorized distribution points. However, these quantities remain insufficient to meet the actual needs of the population, particularly amid declining international support, the Office said.

The Office has warned of the “serious risk of the complete collapse of remaining humanitarian support, which would lead to the breakdown of the bread production system and further entrench the occupation’s policy of starvation against civilians in the Gaza Strip.”

The Office said that these “measures constitute a systematic policy aimed at depriving Palestinians of their basic right to food, forming part of a broader genocidal framework.”

The Office pointed to claims made by Nikolay Mladenov ("Board of Peace") regarding the entry of hundreds of aid trucks, saying his “claims do not reflect the reality on the ground and serve as misleading political cover for the tightening blockade; such claims are firmly rejected.”

Now is the time

A strategy going forward.

> As we plan for May Day and the summer, we should take a longer view. How will the tactics that we demonstrate during these events help to familiarize large numbers of people with the sort of tactics that they will need to employ alongside us to thwart Trump’s second attempt to carry out a coup? How will the narratives that we popularize position us to keep fighting against all the other proponents of capitalism and oppression after Trump is gone?
>
> We should hurry to lay bare all the connections between fascists, billionaires, militarists, Zionists and Christian nationalists, cryptocurrency hucksters, tech moguls, corporate and social media platforms, federal agencies like ICE and the police and sheriffs that abet them, and the centrists and Democrats who paved the way for the tragedies of the second Trump era by suppressing grassroots resistance at the conclusion of the first. We should establish red lines within the opposition to Trump, making it unthinkable to promote or excuse any of these forces, showing how toxic the compromises with them have proved.
>
> Here are some concrete goals that our movements could adopt:

* Shut down all milquetoast proposals to make superficial reforms to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, arguing instead for all-out resistance with the long-term goal of abolishing them. Those who have joined or remained in those agencies under Trump have shown their hatred for the rest of the population, making it clear that these institutions exist for the express purpose of serving autocrats. Those who have been imprisoned or deported must be permitted to rejoin their loved ones.

* Connect the fight against ICE to the abolitionist movements against police and prisons. If Democrat politicians had not put so much effort into suppressing these movements between 2021 and 2024, social movements would have been much better prepared for the second Trump era, and the regime would have had fewer weapons at its disposal with which to impose control.

* Organize to free prisoners and compel prosecutors to drop charges against defendants in all cases resulting from resistance to ICE and the Trump regime in general. We can build on the refusals of grand juries to indict and juries to convict those accused of resisting ICE. As it becomes apparent to more people that the law is a political instrument serving those who hold power rather than a neutral institution, many people will seek ways of addressing injustice that do not concentrate power in the hands of a Supreme Court comprised of extreme-right reactionaries.

* Connect the fight against Donald Trump to the fight against Flock cameras and data centers and—more generally—to the resistance to profiteering techno-fascists like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.

* Channel anti-war organizing towards targeting arms companies responsible for the genocide in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

* Show that racism, misogyny, transphobia, and other forms of bigotry are tools of distraction that are directly connected to the cutthroat practices via which billionaires have been impoverishing our communities.

* Build mutual aid projects, grassroots education projects, and other forms of social infrastructure outside the state that cannot be gutted by government austerity measures or threatened by crackdowns on academic institutions and non-profit organizations.

> The collapse of radical social movements at the end of 2020 is a cautionary tale. We must come out of the second Trump era stronger than we entered it. This is especially important because the real battles are only just getting underway. A wave of fascist political victories is looming in Europe, though if Trump is defeated soundly enough that may sap their momentum. Artificial Intelligence is only just beginning to drive massive numbers of people into unemployment while intensifying state surveillance and militarism.
>
> As we have argued before, in the 21st century, when the state can do little to mitigate the impact of capitalism, state power is a hot potato that burns whoever holds it. The same conditions that are elevating far-right parties to power around the world are also rendering it difficult for them to hold onto control. But that goes for whoever will succeed Trump, as well: if Trump is driven from office, his base will split into Zionist and neo-Nazi factions, each more virulent than the last generation of Republicans, while whatever administration succeeds him will also provoke anger and disillusionment—likely mobilizing a new wave of momentum from the far right. If what happened under the Biden administration recurs, the backlash next time will be more horrific than anything we can imagine. This is why we must address the problems that capitalism is creating at the root, not simply protest its most noxious figureheads.
>
> We must make sure that it is easy for everyone to distinguish our grassroots projects from any government that holds power, and continue to expand and deepen them regardless of whether there is an incompetent demagogue propelling people into the streets. As we have learned over and over—sometimes through courage, sometimes through cowardice—it is safer in the front.

Non-Profits Are a Silo when radical is not revolutionary

>> Iran just did what Nasser did in August 1956.
When Nasser nationalised the Suez Canal Company on 26 July 1956, the first thing he did was issue an exchange control circular requiring that canal dues be paid in Egyptian pounds, not British sterling, not French francs. Shipping companies had to open local accounts. The British and French, who had just invaded Egypt, were excluded from the acceptable currencies list entirely when the canal reopened in April 1957.

This was not administrative procedure. It was monetary warfare. Every fee collected in Egyptian pounds was a transfer of sovereignty from London and Paris to Cairo (later to Washington). The SDR system that replaced it after 1957 was the world's institutional answer to ensure that could never fully happen again. Tolls were assessed on suez canal net tonnage and the toll rates are determined on the basis of SDR units, with dues payable in one of the designated hard currencies according to exchange rates in relation to SDRs as declared by the IMF.

Iran has now done the same thing at Hormuz, and gone further. The IRGC formalised a five-tier nationality ranking system. Friendlier nations pay lower rates. Vessels linked to the US or Israel are denied transit entirely. The Iranians are not just collecting fees. They are constructing a political map of the world in the form of a transit tariff.

The payment rails are the real story. The "Strait of Hormuz Management Plan," passed by Iran's parliament on 30-31 March 2026, authorises fees settled in Chinese yuan through Kunlun Bank via CIPS, bitcoin, USDT, and Iranian rials. Not dollars. Not SWIFT. The architecture is specifically designed to be unsanctionable in real time.

Nasser excluded sterling and francs. Iran has excluded the dollar altogether and built a parallel settlement infrastructure to make that exclusion stick. What Nasser did with an exchange control circular in 1956, Iran has done with blockchain in 2026.

The numbers are not trivial. At 2,600 monthly transits under pre-war conditions, even a $500,000 average toll generates $1.5 billion per month. The IRGC is currently charging up to $2 million per vessel, with $600-800 million per month possible if LNG vessels are included. That is a reconstruction budget extracted from the ships of every nation that wants its energy to move.

Trump called it a "beautiful thing." He then said the US should charge the toll instead. "Why shouldn't we? We're the winner." This is the most honest thing said about the situation. Both sides understand it is not about navigation law. It is about who controls the rent on global energy transit.

The legal framing matters but only as cover. Iran has not ratified UNCLOS. Neither has the US. UNCLOS Article 38 guarantees transit passage rights in international straits without fees for mere passage. The Suez Canal charges fees because it is man-made infrastructure. Hormuz is a natural strait. Iran's counter-argument is that the war changed the underlying conditions and that sovereignty has been reasserted through force majeure.

This is precisely Nasser's argument in 1956. The canal lay within Egyptian territory. The concession had been a colonial instrument. Egypt had the right to nationalise, to redirect fees, to exclude hostile currencies. The west called it illegal. Egypt called it sovereignty. Egypt won.

Iran's Foreign Minister has stated publicly that Hormuz "will never return to its former state." The parliament speaker wrote the same on X in March. The ceasefire announced on 8 April does not resolve this. The Islamabad talks will determine whether the toll becomes a permanent treaty right or a temporary wartime measure that quietly continues anyway.

Class and Religion: The Missing Dimension in Understanding Imperialist Aggression To fight for Palestine is also to fight for a different world—one grounded in justice, dignity, and the redistribution of wealth and power.

🇵🇸 | GAZA, April 11, 2026 (WAFA) — Several Palestinians were killed and others injured on Saturday afternoon following Israeli airstrikes targeting areas in the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources reported that three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on the town of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.

In central Gaza, several people were also injured—some seriously—after an Israeli drone struck a tent in the al-Masha‘la area south of Deir al-Balah.

Meanwhile, a child was wounded by Israeli gunfire from military vehicles near the al-Mazari roundabout, southeast of Al-Bureij Refugee Camp in the central Gaza Strip.

| Yesterday, on April 10th, at least six Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a police security point near the Tayba pharmacy in Block 9 of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, according to Quds Network.

Medical and local sources said Israeli aircraft bombed the site, killing Ali Sami Al-Shaqra, Muhammad Sayed Abu Watan, Musa Saleh, Salim Al-Maghari, Muhammad Ibrahim Al-Maqous, and Abu Hassan Al-Mabhuh, while others were wounded.

In a separate incident, three Palestinians were injured when an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on a tent sheltering displaced people in the western al-Raqab area of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Yunis.

Medical sources reported that Israeli attacks since the so-called "ceasefire" came into effect have killed at least 749 Palestinians and injured more than 2,060 others, with 759 bodies recovered from under the rubble during the same period.
