❗️UK revokes travel authorization for Swedish academic ahead of London pro-Palestine panel
The British Home Office revoked the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) of prominent Swedish academic and author Andreas Malm, barring him from entering the UK just days before a scheduled public appearance in London, Al Jazeera reports.
Official communication delivered to Malm by British immigration authorities declared that his “presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good,” effectively blocking the Lund University associate professor who has regularly traveled to the country for decades.
The state-enforced travel ban targeted Malm ahead of a panel event organized by socialist magazine Tribune, where he was scheduled to speak alongside Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action.
British authorities recently proscribed Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organization under state security laws, using sweeping counter-terrorism powers to outlaw direct-action campaigns aimed at severing British arms links with the Israeli occupation forces.
Malm publicly condemned the Home Office decision as a transparent attempt to criminalize solidarity with Palestine, linking the sudden revocation to his participation in panel discussions critical of western military support for Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
❗️Pentagon launches ‘doomsday plan’ in case of global war
Expand
The Pentagon has unveiled a sweeping new domestic preparedness program dubbed the FORTRESS initiative, requiring major US military bases to sustain combat and logistical operations independently for at least 90 days without civilian infrastructure support.
According to internal documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, the strategy is designed to safeguard the national security apparatus against catastrophic failures in domestic power grids and international supply chains during a potential multi-front global conflict.
Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell stated that relying on municipal civilian infrastructure presents an intolerable risk, signaling a major militarization of the US as Washington anticipates escalating confrontations.
The initiative centers on weaning military installations off public electricity through the deployment of portable nuclear reactors, localized microgrids, and massive battery reserves capable of withstanding prolonged infrastructural collapses.
Beyond energy independence, FORTRESS mandates deep structural overhauls to the domestic industrial base, including the creation of dual-source supply chains for critical minerals, electronics, and munitions.
Through the integrated Civil Reserve Manufacturing Network, the Pentagon is actively laying the groundwork to transition commercial civilian factories into wartime production facilities upon the outbreak of a crisis, ensuring uninterrupted military output despite international trade disruptions.
Complementing the infrastructure overhaul, the Department of War has launched Project Meridian, a specialized advisory group co-led by high-profile figures including Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich, tasked with mapping out advanced warfare technologies within 120 days.
Parnell emphasized that these measures reflect a departure from the historical assumption that oceanic borders protect the US mainland from modern warfare. By hardening communications against satellite jamming and establishing massive strategic stockpiles, Washington is aggressively cementing a permanent war economy posture aimed at sustaining prolonged global hostilities.
No need to worry just keep maxing out your 401k and make sure you’re heavily invested in palantir /s
This blowback is gonna be heavy.
Yea, couldve maybe accomplished something if they did it in the 80s. It’s too late now for this, unless they juice that war budget up to $2 trillion, which they cant afford
Personally, I think this is the US preparing to devolve into over military rule over its civilians.
Bingo. But the truth is the budget and manufacturing cannot support big expensive changes like this unless they take 30 years.
Not to mention the US will be even more constrained by the collapse of its hegemony. If anything, I think thus will just accelerate resistance in the US.
Yeah it feels like they are building a plan to set up reverse concentration camps. Like they plan on setting up a military apartheid where only genocidal soldiers are given a reasonable living standard while the bourgeoisie squeeze the workers like slaves. Whoever made up this plan probably watched City of the Dead one too many times and thought that Denis Hopper was playing the good guy and also thinks that jabotinski’s “Iron wall” is working for israel.
Didn’t he deny the kidnapping cases last year? And now he says they’re declining!
So who’s the misleading one?

Two genocidal propagandists fighting.
VIDEO | “We are occupiers. Everything that is happening now is the result of the occupation”
According to a report by Arutz Sheva, veteran Israeli actress Chelli Goldenberg sparked widespread public controversy after declaring that she is “no longer proud to be Israeli” during a candid discussion she mistakenly believed was taking place off-air.
Speaking with television hosts during what she assumed was a commercial break, Goldenberg condemned decades of Israeli policy, stating, “We are occupiers. Everything happening now is a consequence of the occupation,” while explicitly denouncing settler violence and “Jewish terrorism.”
The former fashion model and cinema figure, who rose to prominence in the 1978 film Ha-Lahaka, emphasized that understanding the “sin of the occupation” took years, directly attributing the current regional crisis, military aggression, and social fragmentation to colonial expansion and extremist dominance.
Visibly distressed upon realizing the conversation had been broadcast live, she confronted the show’s producers for failing to notify her that the cameras were rolling.

Brief thoughts
I’m going to be honest, at first I thought she was just doing rhetoric or some PR scheme. However, the statement “a Minority has a right to fight for its freedom” honestly gives me pause. I’m still not sure if she’s being genuine or not, saying things like “I wish I could be proud to be Israeli again” feel like liberal zionist trite, but to some degree it does sound to me like someone grappling with their settler identity rather than a call to the past.
If I’m being uncharitable, she’s saying that Israel after 1967 is an occupation, and all the problems stem from there, but I can’t quite tell. Regardless, it’s definitely something that piqued my interest.
She would be smart to get the hell out of there asap, but then again if she was smart she never would have said the truth live on Zionist TV. “Israeli” society is only going to get more rabid and deranged and violent even toward their own ostensible allies as the Zionist project comes closer to disintegration, and they will accelerate its disintegration by driving away all of the liberal Zionists. They won’t be able to help themselves.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she does end up leaving.
I’ve had the luxury to meet 1 (technically 2, but it was only for a panel) good “Israeli”. They had left the zionist entity obviously, but both if their descriptions of Israeli soceity was as follows, iirc:
People are so conditioned towards being pro-genocide and ethnosupremacy that trying to live in that soceity with a conscious is impossible. You are completely socially isolated by at least after high-school. People you knew in school who were even somewhat amenable to the idea hat Arabs are people will completely flip after serving in the IDF. If you avoid the draft (which both of them did) for any reason, be it mental or physical disability, you’re treated with shame for not contributing to the national project.
Both basically said that life in the settler colony becomes unbearable due to social isolation. So they, and the few others like them, just feel the necessity to leave.
I can imagine that this social isolation will probably occur for this woman now that her views are public.
I think social isolation will be the least of her worries…
🇮🇷🇶🇦🇺🇸| IRNA says a Qatari delegation, headed by a senior adviser to Qatar’s PM and FM, arrived in Tehran to meet and hold talks with Iranian senior officials.
The meetings are expected to focus on bilateral relations between Iran and Qatar, as well as regional developments.
According to Al Arabiya, Qatari mediators are trying to convince Iran to reach an agreement on the release of a portion of Iran’s frozen assets in exchange for allowing inspectors to visit Iran’s nuclear sites (I almost choked on how they actually think Iran will be accept this.)

❗️An Israeli military Humvee vehicle was reportedly stolen from an emergency storage facility belonging to a reserve unit at the Julis military base, near the Malachi Junction.
The incident triggered widespread search operations and an urgent military investigation, according to Israeli Army Radio.
In response, the military issued immediate warnings to regional bases regarding the potential use of the stolen vehicle in attempts to infiltrate camps or training areas.
❗️In midst of ongoing Israeli attacks, Lebanese judiciary charges Hezbollah members over seized defensive military cargo
The Lebanese military judiciary indicted eight individuals linked to Hezbollah following the seizure of a military shipment carrying explosives at the Dahr al-Baydar checkpoint in early October.
Naharnet reports that state prosecutors referred the defendants to a military investigative judge on charges of possessing unauthorized weapons, forming unlawful groups, and undermining state security, escalating legal pressure on the Lebanese resistance as it counters ongoing aggression by the Israeli occupation.
The legal proceedings stem from a 5 October interception by internal security forces in the Bekaa Valley, where a transport vehicle containing tactical explosive materials was impounded while en route toward Beirut.
Hezbollah senior official and lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah confirmed in a public address that the confiscated logistical equipment and military assets belong to the Lebanese resistance, emphasizing that the material was strictly designated for front-line operations against Israeli military positions occupying southern Lebanese territory.
Rejecting the judicial charges and political framing of the seizure, Hezbollah demanded the immediate release of the detained drivers and the prompt return of the defense equipment.
Resistance leadership affirmed that attempts to intercept military supplies weaken national defense capabilities at a critical juncture, reiterating that protecting logistical infrastructure remains essential to defending Lebanese sovereignty against persistent strikes and violations by the Israeli military.
❗️Israeli national security minister demands the Shin Bet arrest Arab lawmakers, calls for stripping voting rights
In a post on social media, Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly demanded on Thursday that the Shin Bet security agency immediately arrest leaders of Palestinian political parties in Israel, claiming without evidence that the election results were “stolen.”
Following parliamentary election tallies that saw record turnout among Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, the cabinet minister asserted that “the Shin Bet must arrest all those involved, including the heads of the Arab parties,” while calling to strip non-loyal citizens of their fundamental democratic rights.
"The Shin Bet must arrest all those involved, including the heads of the Arab parties who stole the elections here.
Today must be clearer than ever: Whoever is not loyal to the State of Israel - it is forbidden to give him the right to vote," he wrote.
The inciteful statements come as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition partners face political deadlock following parliamentary elections, with Palestinian political factions potentially holding crucial seats in the prospective assembly.

The fact these rats are freaking out about a set of political parties that have 0 power getting more votes then usual makes me question how anyone can believe Israel is anything but an irredeemable soceity.
❗️Israeli settlers assault Palestinian farmers and land activists in occupied West Bank
According to WAFA, groups of Israeli settlers—operating under the direct protection of Israeli occupation forces—assaulted local Palestinian farmers and solidarity activists before forcibly expelling them from their agricultural land in Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah.
The assault targeted community members and international activists assisting indigenous families with the annual olive harvest.
Armed settlers physically attacked the gatherers, vandalized agricultural equipment, and threatened those present with live ammunition while Israeli military units provided top cover and enforced the illegal expulsion by declaring the surrounding area a closed zone.
The coordinated attack highlights the systemic pattern of state-sponsored land grabs across the occupied West Bank, where military forces routinely facilitate settler violence to strip Palestinians of access to their ancestral farmland.
❗️Saudi airstrikes batter Yemeni infrastructure and civilian zones in wide-scale escalation
Heavy Saudi airstrikes hit civilian facilities and infrastructure across multiple Yemeni governorates, according to Saba News, including the capital Sanaa, as Riyadh intensifies its aerial campaign.
Yemeni health authorities confirmed that at least 45 civilians were killed in the latest wave of bombardments, which hit residential areas and vital communication networks in the Taiz and Al-Jawf governorates.
Intense raids were also reported across the coastal district of Mokha, Hayfan, and the strategic border governorates of Saada, Marib, and Hajjah.
Yemen’s Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree stated that Saudi warplanes launched 116 airstrikes and missile attacks over a 24-hour period ending Thursday evening.
Saree detailed that the strikes systematically targeted vital civilian facilities, communication towers, and residential neighborhoods across Sanaa, Amran, Lahj, and Al-Bayda.
He emphasized that the total count of Saudi raids has surpassed 3,500 since the recent Saudi-led aggression, resulting in widespread destruction and hundreds of civilian casualties.
❗️Siege of West Bank displaces nearly 5,000 Palestinians as occupation forces seal off Hebron
According to a detailed data analysis published by Al Jazeera, nearly 5,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from their homes as Israel’s punitive military siege on the southern West Bank city of Hebron enters its second week.
Occupation forces have locked down the city by sealing off all 10 primary access points, trapping the civilian population and systematically removing 4,969 residents across 780 families—representing approximately two percent of Hebron’s 250,000 inhabitants.
Municipal and human rights data show that the sweeping forced displacement campaign heavily impacts vulnerable populations, including 441 elderly citizens, 336 infants under two years of age, 312 chronic illness patients, over 200 pregnant or nursing women, and 44 individuals with disabilities.
Hebron Mayor Youssef al-Jabari condemned the operation as a campaign of severe “collective punishment,” noting that the number of displaced residents more than doubled within a 48-hour period as military units expanded home seizures and forced evacuations.
The total blockade on Hebron coincides with broader military escalation across the occupied West Bank, where troops have commandeered residential structures into military outposts and restricted humanitarian movements.
The ongoing structural isolation, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and targeted mass displacement in Hebron serve as part of an overarching strategy to fracture Palestinian territorial continuity and enforce long-term military domination.
❗️Bahrain protesters clash with security forces during anti-government demonstrations
Expand
According to local reports, anti-government demonstrators clashed with Bahraini security forces overnight for the second consecutive night.
The street confrontations erupted across several Shia-majority villages and urban suburbs surrounding Manama, where state police deployed tear gas and sound grenades to disperse youth activists who erected burning tire barricades to block advancing security convoys.
The latest wave of civil unrest stems from an intensifying security campaign of arbitrary detentions and summonses targeting Shia religious figures, community activists, and reciters.
According to ABNA, local organizers have been forced to coordinate demonstrations through covert channels and secretive grassroots networks to evade surveillance by the Ministry of Interior’s security apparatus, which routinely uses broad security and counter-terrorism measures to repress public assemblies.
The escalating protests highlight deep-seated grievances against the western-backed Bahraini government, which continues to rely on militarized policing, systemic political disenfranchisement, and severe restrictions on Shia religious identity to manage domestic dissent.
❗️Activists reject DOJ subpoenas in federal fishing expedition targeting philanthropist Fergie Chambers
Two pro-Palestine activists subpoenaed by the US Department of Justice announced their absolute refusal to cooperate with an federal grand jury investigation targeting political donors and anti-war organizers.
The Grayzone reveals that activists Bridget Shergalis and Sophie Ross—who previously served a 60-day sentence for direct action against an Elbit Systems military manufacturing facility in New Hampshire—declared in a public statement that they will invoke their constitutional right to remain silent when appearing in court on 4 November, risking potential imprisonment for civil contempt rather than giving testimony.
The federal grand jury proceedings appear centered on anti-imperialist philanthropist Fergie Chambers, who has provided financial support to humanitarian initiatives in Gaza.
Chambers has been held in Spain for over three months under an extradition request from Washington alleging money laundering linked to Palestinian resistance movements.
Shergalis and Ross condemned the federal investigation as a legal “fishing expedition” designed to intimidate anti-genocide organizers, pledging total solidarity with targeted activists and framing their non-compliance as a duty to defend the global anti-imperialist movement.
The subpoenas follow an aggressive crackdown by the Trump administration under National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), an executive policy drafted by White House aide Stephen Miller directing federal law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute left-wing and anti-war organizations.
❗️International dockworkers launch historic global strike across 100 ports to blockade arms shipments
Expand
Dockworkers spanning more than 100 strategic ports across Europe, West Asia, and North Africa initiated a mass international strike and day of mobilization to halt arms transfers.
Organized by a coalition of over 25 maritime labor unions in 22 countries—including primary labor syndicates in France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Turkiye, and Morocco—the coordinated action targets key maritime infrastructure to block the movement of weapons, ammunition, and military cargo.
The strike action has halted or severely disrupted logistics operations across major European and Mediterranean transit hubs, including Marseille, Le Havre, Genoa, Trieste, and Piraeus. In a joint declaration released by participating unions, including France’s CGT ports federation, Italy’s Unione Sindacale di Base (USB), and Greece’s ENEDEP, labor leaders condemned the conversion of commercial ports into hubs for imperialist war machine logistics.
ENEDEP President Markos Bekris declared during demonstrations at the Port of Piraeus: “Ports must not be used for the transport of weapons, ammunition, military equipment and troops. Dockworkers do not work for war!”
Endorsed by 17 Palestinian trade unions and the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, the historic mobilization marks an unprecedented labor blockade aimed at choking off military supply lines.
With over 90 percent of Israeli international trade and military procurement moving by sea, union organizers emphasized that organized labor is taking direct action to enforce international law and humanitarian embargoes where western governments have actively refused to halt the arming of Israel.
