Head of World Holocaust Remembrance Center Dani Dayan added to Kiev's 'kill list'

 

The head of the World Holocaust Remembrance Center has been added to the 'Mirotvorets' list. The online catalog targets people accused of being enemies of Kiev, and publishes their personal information, opening them up to attack.

It accuses Yad Vashem's chairman of 'inciting hatred between Israel and Ukraine...spreading Russian-fascist propaganda...and falsifying information about historical figures in Ukraine'.

In clearer terms, Dani Dayan condemned Kiev's choice to rebury and honor Andrey Melnik, a notorious World War 2 collaborator of Nazi Germany.

To discuss this, we speak with Steve Gill, a former adviser to the Bush and Clinton administrations.

Ukraine Is Now Indisputably An Anti-Polish State

 

What Zelensky just did is no different than if Germany gave Governor-General of the World War II-era “General Government” Hans Frank a hero’s burial in Berlin and then named an elite unit after him.

Zelensky’s reburial of former “Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists’” (OUN) leader Andrey Melnik in Kiev with honors and renaming of an elite unit as the “Heroes of the ‘Ukrainian Insurgent Army’ (UPA)”, the OUN’s armed wing, proves that Ukraine is now indisputably an anti-Polish state. As a reminder, both Melnik’s and Stepan Bandera’s OUN factions carried out the UPA’s Volhynia Genocide, which killed over 100,000 Poles. Many of them were women and children who were murdered in very grisly ways.

Poland already spent 4.91% of its GDP on Ukraine, mostly through support of its over one-million refugees that are still living in the country, and donated its entire stockpile to it. Many Poles also donated to charities helping Ukrainian refugees and some even housed them too. All of this was done without any questions asked and with no strings attached in solidarity with Ukraine due to the Polish State’s and many Poles’ intense dislike of Russia for historical reasons beyond the scope of this analysis to detail.

Ukraine was already becoming an anti-Polish state by then, however, as Polish activist Małgorzata Zych wrote in a recent tweet: “These are not Zelensky’s excesses but the consequence of the law adopted in 2015 on the legal status and commemoration of the memory of fighters for Ukraine’s independence in the 20th century, which glorifies criminals from the OUN and UPA, something that has never elicited a negative reaction from the Polish government and which is hidden from the Polish public.”

The public can thus be forgiven for extending such support to Ukrainians, but the government can’t since it knew about this but still aided Ukraine with no political strings attached. As co-founder of Poland’s populist-nationalist opposition party Confederation Krzysztof Bosak said, “Ukraine continues to glorify the perpetrators of genocide and the instigators of unimaginable crimes. The PiS and PO governments slept through the only period in which it was realistically possible to enforce a change in this policy.”  (more...)

Former foreign minister heckled over Israel support

Chrystia Freeland was recently challenged for supporting genocide at an event hosted by a Jewish supremacist group held in a Zionist community centre.

After our Capitalism Can’t be Fixed conference concluded Sunday, a few participants interrupted Freeland’s speech. In Toronto from BC, one protestor labelled the former foreign affairs minister and deputy prime minister a “Zionist Nazi dog.” The disruption has gone viral on multiple social media platforms. Al Jazeera and other international media have reported on it.

Freeland is deeply anti-Palestinian. In the first year of slaughter in Gaza she attended multiple genocide rallies. As Israeli officials ramped up their genocidal rhetoric, Freeland declared that “Canada stands with Israel”. After the International Criminal Court announced it would seek arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and defence minister as well as Hamas leaders in late 2024, Freeland said it was “entirely inappropriate to equate the terrorist leaders of a terrorist organization [Hamas] with the democratically elected leaders of a democracy [Israel].” When I asked Freeland a year into the slaughter if she condemned Israel’s killing of 14,000 Palestinian children she declined to respond.

During her three years as foreign affairs minister Freeland promoted the genocidal, apartheid state. Canada’s voting record at the United Nations during that time was deeply anti-Palestinian. In December 2017, for instance, Canada sided with the US, Israel and some tiny Pacific island states in opposing a UN resolution supporting Palestinian statehood that was backed by 176 nations.  (more...)

Israel and Latin American Christian Zionists seek to promote Isaac Accords

 

On 19 April 2026, Argentina’s self-proclaimed “most Zionist president in the world,” Javier Milei, arrived in Jerusalem.

After greeting his “dearest friend” Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, and affirming his support for the US-Israeli war on Iran, he signed a series of agreements to strengthen ties between Argentina and Israel despite its ongoing genocide in Gaza, where over 75,000 people have been killed since October 2023.

The Isaac Accords, which include a commitment to counter-terrorism and improved cooperation in artificial intelligence, have been in preparation since August 2025 when Milei launched a nonprofit aimed at increasing cooperation in trade, technology and cultural exchange between Israel and various Latin American countries.

Bankrolled by the Genesis Prize, the American Friends of the Isaac Accords (AFOIA) is a registered nonprofit based in New York.

Just two months earlier, Milei became the first non-Jewish recipient of the Genesis prize, dubbed the “Jewish Nobel.”

With an initial focus on Costa Rica, Panama and Uruguay, three countries “primed for enhanced cooperation with Israel,” and proposed interest in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, and potentially El Salvador, “the Isaac Accords are a natural continuation of the Abraham Accords,” according to Stafford Fitzgerald Haney, a former US ambassador to Costa Rica and current head of AFOIA, during an interview with The Jerusalem Post.

Why won’t Canadian military cut Trump-led US ties?

 

As Trump once again threatens to destroy all of Iran, Canadian politicians won’t even condemn the US president’s rhetoric, let alone push to reduce military ties. And in an embarrassing turn, the annexationist president is the one who has paused a major bilateral military accord.

Just before speaking with an Israeli Prime Minister pushing to restart a full-scale war against the country of 93 million, Donald Trump posted on Sunday “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” A week ago, the leader of the only country ever to have employed nuclear arms suggested he might employ these horrific weapons again saying, “If there’s no ceasefire you’re just going to have to look at one big glow coming out of Iran.”

In a prior example of rhetoric even supporters of the US/Israeli aggression ought to denounce, Trump said, “If they don’t sign this deal, the whole country is going to get blown up.” That same day the president posted to Truth Social, “the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” A week beforehand Trump threatened “a whole civilization will die tonight never to be brought back again” and then declared “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.”

To the best of my knowledge the last time any Canadian politician directly condemned Trump’s unhinged rhetoric was after he threatened to destroy “a whole civilization”. And even then, it was mostly NDP representatives who didn’t demand any concrete action.  (more...)

US tech firm Cisco has deep ties with Israeli military, leaked documents show

 

Leaked documents have revealed the US tech firm Cisco Systems’ deep relationship with the Israeli regime in its continuous wars in West Asia, which the United States backs.

The papers leaked by Drop Site News on Friday reveal that Cisco has a deep illegal relationship with the Israeli regime and supported Tel Aviv forces in their atrocities against the people of Palestine, and beyond.

The Silicon Valley-based company, which produces hardware, software, telecommunications equipment, and other high-technology services used in networking, cybersecurity, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, provided support and infrastructure to Israel in its genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and also ran unlawful operations in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

The leaked papers provided to Drop Site by whistleblowers show Cisco’s deep and growing collaboration with the Israeli military and intelligence communities for its genocide in Gaza and continued regional wars.

The San Jose-based networking giant, with a market capitalization in excess of $270 billion and annual revenue of $56.7 billion in 2025, manufactures the routers, switches, firewalls, and communications platforms that run the internet’s infrastructure, as well as many of its worldwide corporate, government, and military networks.  (more...)

You've got war memorials to the SS in Canada

Leaked Documents Show Cisco Systems’ Deep Relationship with Israeli Security State

 

“Never Let a Good Crisis Go To Waste”: Internal documents show Cisco’s growing collaboration with the Israeli military over the course of the genocide in Gaza.

Cisco Systems is one of the most consequential—yet least visible—corporations in Silicon Valley. The San Jose-based networking giant, with a market capitalization in excess of $270 billion and annual revenue of $56.7 billion in 2025, manufactures the routers, switches, firewalls, and communications platforms that run the internet’s infrastructure, as well as many of its worldwide corporate, government, and military networks.

Cisco makes a point of publicly highlighting its commitment to corporate social responsibility, and building “an inclusive future for all” in the dozens of countries around the world in which it operates. Yet the company’s aggressive pursuit of contracts with the Israeli government and military—a small yet growing part of its global business—has led to accusations that behind this sunny facade the networking giant is profiting from genocide.

A new set of leaked documents—provided to Drop Site by whistleblowers disturbed by the company’s operations in Israel—shows Cisco’s deep and growing collaboration with the Israeli military and intelligence establishment in its regional wars and the genocide in Gaza.

In 2025, an Israeli Air Force officer publicly discussed using Cisco-powered infrastructure to support operations. The anonymous officer, identified as the head of the Israeli Air Force’s operational branch, told a tech conference in Israel that the Air Force had conducted “tens of thousands of attacks” in the past year, and described how IT systems had been vital to enabling this combat activity. The officer referenced Cisco infrastructure being used by air force intelligence personnel for communications and managing high volumes of operational data—including the use of networking tools by drone operators and ground forces to store and analyze videos and share coordinates for strikes.

Cisco’s work with the Israeli government and military has been documented in public news reports and new business announcements in the country. But the internal documents—including presentations, purchase and revenue records, and schedules—shed light on the rapidly expanding list of services that Cisco has been providing directly to the Israeli Ministry of Defense and other branches of the security state over the past several years.  (more...)

Microsoft ousts Israel country manager over mass surveillance system targeting Palestinians

 

The probe revealed that Microsoft Azure servers stored millions of Palestinian phone call recordings for the Israeli army’s Unit 8200

Microsoft Israel country general manager Alon Haimovich was removed from his post after an internal investigation into the branch’s ties with the Israeli Defense Ministry, Globes reported on 11 May.

The Israeli office was placed under Microsoft France until a permanent replacement is appointed. 

Haimovich, who led Microsoft Israel for four years, was summoned as part of the probe after the local branch failed to fully disclose how the ministry was using Microsoft systems.

Several managers responsible for internal oversight, compliance, and governance are also leaving their posts.

According to Globes, Microsoft was concerned that Israeli military units were using its systems in ways that were not transparent to global management, violated company terms, and exposed Microsoft to legal and regulatory risks in Europe.  (more...)

Germany Becomes A Ukraine War Lab, and a Staging Ground For a Forever War On Russia

 

In February, under the white light of a Bavarian assembly hall, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and German Defense Minister, Boris Pistorius, walked past rows of unfinished drones. The joint venture hosting them, linking Germany’s Quantum Systems with Ukraine’s Frontline Robotics, is already producing aircraft for Ukraine, plans to scale toward 10,000 units a year, and has already sent its first batch east. This is what Berlin now calls support for Ukraine, not crates on a runway, not old equipment hauled out of Bundeswehr depots, but German soil giving Ukrainian war design an industrial home.

For years, German officials sold their Ukraine policy in the language of restraint, solidarity and defensive necessity, but today, that language is buckling under what Berlin is now doing in plain sight. Germany has signed onto Ukraine’s defence innovation platform, opened itself to battlefield-data sharing, backed joint ventures that turn Ukrainian combat know-how into German-produced drones and robots, and committed itself to work on long-range strike systems with a reach of up to 1,500 kilometres. The result is no longer the picture of a cautious donor helping from a distance. It is a state folding Ukraine’s war labs into its own industrial base and building the rear area of a long war against Russia on German territory.

The Munich drone line strips away the euphemism. Ukraine is not simply receiving German kit from stockpiles. Ukrainian battlefield-proven designs, software and operational lessons are being fused with German capital, German factory capacity and German political cover inside ventures built to scale weapons production for a war Berlin still insists it is not fighting. The Auterion-Airlogix Joint Venture GmbH makes the point even more bluntly. Registered in Germany and launched in February, it combines Airlogix’s battle-tested Ukrainian UAV platforms with Auterion’s autonomy software and is meant to produce thousands of autonomous, combat-ready systems in Germany for the Ukrainian armed forces. Every time Ukrainian engineers find a way through Russian jamming or air defences, German industry is there to absorb the lesson and turn it into volume.

The named systems give the arrangement a harder outline. During Zelensky’s Berlin visit in April, Germany and Ukraine signed an implementation arrangement under their October 2025 defence-industry agreement covering the joint production of the unmanned systems Anubis and Seth-X-G, with a contract value of €281 million. Anubis has been described as a heavy AI-guided deep-strike system with a range in the 1,500 to 1,600 kilometre band and a 45 kilogram warhead, while Seth-X is designed for attack missions in heavily contested environments. Production is planned in the thousands under German-backed joint-venture arrangements. Once those names are on the table, the fiction that Berlin is merely helping Ukraine hold the line becomes harder to maintain.  (more...)

Germany Becomes A Ukraine War Lab, and a Staging Ground For a Forever War On Russia

The Secret British Intelligence War on Iran

 

British intelligence spearheaded the overthrow of Iran's elected prime minister in 1953, bribed officials, staged chaos and used the BBC for a coded coup signal — all to protect oil profits — after previously treating Zionist extremists as the top national security threat. Later and until today, they targeted the Islamic Republic of Iran and developed close collaborations with the Mossad.

MI5 identified Zionist groups like Irgun and the Stern Gang as the primary national security threat to Britain in 1947, prioritising them over the Soviet Union. Declassified files confirm plots to assassinate officials including Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and fears that these groups would import ‘terrorist’ tactics to the UK mainland. And in fact the Zionists were pioneers of terror tactic in the first use of the book bomb — in a hollowed out copy of Shakespeare’s plays — which was sent in the post to a British military officer, Roy Farran, addressed to ‘R Farran’. His brother Rex opened the parcel and died from the injuries he sustained. MI5 also tracked Irgun terror networks across the country, including in Glasgow, where notable Zionist luminaries were implicated, including Maurice Bloch, the distiller, who ran the Glasgow Jewish Institute in the Gorbals. This is where the Irgun terror cell regularly met. Also implicated was Isaac Wolfson of the well-known Zionist Wolfson family, which today owns the Next retail chain. Isaac had been the special guest invited to open the Jewish Institute in 1935 and was close to Bloch. Another Wolfson —  Isaac’s elder brother Samuel — had fought with Jabotinsky in the 1914-18 war in the Jewish Legion.

Both Bloch and Isaac Wolfson were implicated in the 1947-1948 Irgun spy scandal, and were called to provide evidence of their knowledge about the spy at the Lynskey Tribunal. Bloch was never charged with any offence, though his name was “erased from the list of Justices of the Peace for Glasgow” as a result. Wolfson was closely cross-examined over payments to the Irgun spy, Sidney Stanley, which were disguised by being split between three separate firms controlled by Wolfson. The focus of the investigation was on corruption, and as Christopher Andrew notes in his official history of MI5, the spying allegations were not raised at the Tribunal. It is unsurprising to note that the descendants of Isaac Wolfson are today centrally involved in the ‘charity’ pipeline, sending cash to the genocidal Zionist occupation forces via, for example, a charity called Beit Halochem. As in the 1920s and 1940s, the Wolfson family remain a threat to British national security.  (more...)

Germany's complicity in US-Israeli war crimes

Germany and Italy have blocked a bid by Spain, Slovenia, and Ireland to suspend a European Union's partnership agreement with Israel.

Germany has long extended support to the Israeli regime despite its ongoing genocide in Gaza, atrocities against Palestinians in the West Bank, and the aggressions against elsewhere in the region, including Iran and Lebanon.

Spain to formally call on EU to suspend association agreement with Israel

 

Pedro Sanchez accused the Israeli government of ‘violating the principles and values of the EU,’ stressing that Tel Aviv ‘cannot be our partner’

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced on 19 April that his government will formally propose that the EU suspend its Association Agreement with Israel.

“A government that violates international law and, therefore, the principles and values of the EU cannot be our partner,” Sanchez said, speaking at a PSOE rally in the province of Huelva.

“This Tuesday, the Government of Spain will take to Europe the proposal that the EU sever its association with Israel,” he stressed.

Sanchez was careful to say that Spain’s stance is directed against the Israeli government and its policies, and not its citizens, saying, "We are a people friendly to Israel.” He also called on other European nations to back the initiative.  (more...)

The Europeans are trying to have it both ways

 

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, investigative researcher, broadcaster, and academic, David Miller, argues that European powers are “trying to have it both ways," distancing themselves from US-led actions they see as illegal, while still offering support behind the scenes.

He points to France and Spain stepping back from a US coalition against the Yemeni Armed Forces, exposing limits in Washington’s ability to project power. Yet, at the same time, countries like Spain have allowed US overflights involved in the war against Iran, and the UK continues providing intelligence support from Cyprus.

According to Miller, this reflects a broader European strategy: publicly cautious due to international law and public opinion, but still materially backing US and Israeli actions in the region.

Iran-Linked Handala HACKERS Steals TOP Israeli SECRETS And Expose Mossad Agents’ LOCATIONS

 

Iran-linked hacker group claims to have breached some of Mossad and Shin Bet’s most sensitive systems. The group, known as Handala, has released alleged aerial surveillance footage showing secret facilities and even the homes of top Israeli intelligence officials.

According to the claims, the group tracked movements, daily routines, and routes of senior military and security figures across Israel over several months. Handala also alleges that local collaborators inside Israeli territory helped gather critical intelligence, pointing to a potentially deep operational breach.

The revelations have sparked serious security concerns, with fears that sensitive locations and personnel details may now be compromised. The group has hinted at a much larger hidden campaign and is actively recruiting individuals through encrypted channels, raising alarms over an expanding cyber and intelligence threat linked to Iran.

Europe’s quiet role in the war on Iran

 

As European leaders call for restraint and diplomacy; their actions tell another story. From military infrastructure to political alignment, Europe is not standing apart from the war on Iran; it is entangled in it, exposing a deeper pattern of dependence on the United States and strategic decline.

European leaders have responded to the war on Iran with a familiar language: calls for restraint, appeals to diplomacy, and renewed commitments to international law. From Brussels to Berlin, the language has been measured, even cautious. Yet the gap between what Europe says and what it does has rarely been so stark.

While European governments publicly distance themselves from escalation, their infrastructure, alliances, and policies continue to sustain the very war effort they claim to oppose. Military bases, logistical networks, and intelligence frameworks tied to NATO remain fully operational.

Arms flows continue. Political backing, though often indirect, is unmistakable.

This contradiction is not simply a matter of hypocrisy. It reveals something deeper about Europe’s position in the global order, one defined less by autonomy than by structural dependence on the United States. The war on Iran is not creating this reality; it is exposing it.

At the core of Europe’s constrained position lies its long-standing transatlantic alliance membership. NATO has, for decades, provided the framework for European security. But it has also shaped Europe’s foreign policy, narrowing the space for independent action.

For Vijay Prashad, historian and executive director of the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research this  relationship explains the apparent contradiction between Europe’s rhetoric and its behavior.

“Well, that contradiction is at the heart of the arrangement across the Atlantic, where European countries have, in a sense, surrendered their foreign policy to the United States through their attachment to NATO. In a sense, NATO shapes the foreign policy of Europe for the most part, and Europe doesn’t really have much independence to chart its own foreign policy direction.”  (more...)

U of T must cut ties with Israeli universities

 

U of T must learn from history and cut ties with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

At this point, it’s an open secret that U of T has financial and institutional ties to Israel.  

Israel is a settler-state that has been committing genocide in Gaza for over two years, while continuing to enforce its illegal occupation and apartheid oppression of Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank. To resist this oppression, Palestinians have called on the world to support the movement for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) on Israel. 

U of T does not have a policy that prohibits its endowment from being invested in weapons companies, whose products have been used in Gaza to bomb universities and murder thousands of students. Additionally, U of T continues to partner with Israeli universities and institutions deeply complicit in colonial violence and human rights violations. 

Beyond investments, U of T has extensive ties and partnerships to Israeli institutions and universities, including Tel Aviv University, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, and, worst of all, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, otherwise known as HUJI. 

I believe that cutting U of T’s institutional ties to Israeli universities is key to pressuring Israel to comply with international law. Israeli security leaders are on record stating that an academic boycott of Israeli universities is a threat of the highest order. So much so that universities like HUJI outline specific propaganda strategies against academic boycotts.  (more...)

Iran Strikes Data Centres: Escalating Cyber Warfare and Corporate Complicity in Zionist/US attack

 

On 1 March 2026, Iranian forces launched drone strikes against Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centres in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, coinciding with the first day of intensified regional hostilities following US and Zionist strikes that eliminated Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

These operations damaged three facilities: two in the UAE suffered direct hits, igniting fires and forcing power shutdowns, while a Bahrain site sustained structural impact from a nearby drone explosion. AWS confirmed the incidents, noting structural damage, disrupted power delivery, and water-related issues from fire suppression activities, leading to prolonged recovery for affected services.

The strikes triggered widespread outages across banking, payment systems, delivery platforms, and enterprise software throughout the region. Specific impacts included downtime for apps like Uber, Careem, and local banking platforms such as those from Emirates NBD and Bahrain Islamic Bank, with core AWS services like EC2, S3, DynamoDB, Lambda, and RDS experiencing degraded performance or temporary halts, as Fortune details. AWS advised clients to migrate workloads away from the impacted zones (ME-CENTRAL-1 and ME-SOUTH-1 regions), highlighting the cascading effects on Gulf economies heavily reliant on cloud computing.

Analysts view this as a watershed in modern conflict, where commercial data centres transition from civilian assets to strategic military targets due to their role in hosting dual-use AI and intelligence workloads, as Fortune reports. The US military utilises AWS for certain operations, including running Anthropic’s Claude model for intelligence tasks, raising questions about the facilities' dual civilian-military nature. AWS stated in its status update, as Reuters reports: “In the UAE, two of our facilities were directly struck, while in Bahrain, a drone strike in close proximity to one of our facilities caused physical impact to our infrastructure”.

No fatalities occurred, as multiple reports confirm, but the psychological and economic ripple effects proved significant, exposing vulnerabilities in air defence coverage for critical infrastructure.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility through state-affiliated channels, framing the strikes as measured responses to perceived threats. Fars News Agency reported via Telegram that the Bahrain facility was specifically chosen “to identify the role of these centers in supporting the enemy’s military and intelligence activities”.  (more...)

Iran Strikes Data Centres: Escalating Cyber Warfare and Corporate Complicity in Zionist/US attack

Fake friction between Germany and Israel

 

No amount of groveling is enough to satisfy Israel.

Steffen Seibert, Germany’s ambassador in Tel Aviv, ought to know.

A few days ago, Seibert declared his sadness at what he called a “violent settler rampage in Palestinian villages.” Soon after making that comment, he was accused by Gideon Saar, Israel’s foreign minister, of an “obsession with Jews living in Judea and Samaria.”

Saar managed to pack quite a lot of deception into his brief outburst.

The term “Judea and Samaria” is itself deceptive as it implies that the Bible lends legitimacy to Israel’s illegal occupation of the West Bank and all its attendant brutality.

The idea that Seibert harbors an “obsession” about settlers in the West Bank and their thuggery is deceptive, too. The ambassador generally portrays Israel – the state building the settlements in the West Bank – as a victim, rather than a perpetrator of violence.

Saar concluded his rant by saying it is “good to know a new ambassador will soon arrive – one who will strengthen Israel-Germany relations.”

The inference that those relations had weakened during Seibert’s stint in Tel Aviv is similarly deceptive.

Seibert has held his current post since 2022. On his watch, Germany has been the second largest weapons exporter to Israel; the US is at number one.

By definition, then, Germany is the second largest enabler of Israel’s crimes against humanity, including the Gaza genocide. If that is what happens when relations are supposed to be strained, imagine how much worse things could be if Germany and Israel sang in perfect harmony.  (more...)
