Israel and the United States must be held accountable for their crimes and the genocide they have carried out in Gaza. We cannot accept a world where such actions are met with impunity.

Most people now understand that the U.S. and Israel are imperial powers that will always advocate for the repression of the Palestinian people and their homeland. We must fight back against any agenda that seeks to strip Palestinians of their autonomy.

We hope that this ceasefire is not just a tactical pause, forced upon Israel by international pressure, but a genuine step toward peace. The whole world is still watching.

However, we remain cautious. For nearly two years, Hamas repeatedly offered deals to release all hostages in exchange for a lasting peace and full Israeli withdrawal.

We visited Senator Tom Cotton’s office to correct his false claims about CODEPINK and to demand an apology. The veteran who spoke out against genocide in Gaza acted on conscience, not on anyone’s payroll.

NOW: The Senate just voted 48–51 AGAINST the War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s attacks on Venezuela.

Once again, Congress chose war over diplomacy. Even after years of failed interventions and deadly sanctions, they refuse to stop Trump’s reckless escalations.

NOW: A retired U.S. veteran has just been removed from a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing after standing up to demand the Senate stops funding Israel's genocide.

"I demand that you stop lying to the American people!"
