The city council in Cambridge, Massachusetts, voted 5-4 on Wednesday in favour of divesting public funds from companies complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza.
"Our retirement funds should not be invested in companies that profit off of killing people," Cambridge City Councilor Ayah Al-Zubi, who voted in favour of divestment, told NBC Boston.
The vote will impact the council's public investments, including for pensions. The vote will impact at least $24 million of investments, according to campaign group Cambridge for Palestine.
The firms targeted by the new policy include Palantir Technologies Inc., Elbit Systems, Lockheed Martin, GE Aerospace, and Boeing.
"Our wins are one small step in the much larger international struggle for Palestinian liberation," Cambridge for Palestine said in statement after the vote.
The policy order stated that "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza", and said Israel's treatment of Palestinians "amounts to apartheid" — positions held by UN experts and leading rights groups.
Orphan Black and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law star Tatiana Maslany celebrated the news with an Instagram post captioned "Hell yes @cambridgema4palestine !!!!!!!!!!"
However, the council voted down a boycott of companies complicit in the genocide for city contracts. Vice Mayor Burhan Azeem, who voted in favour of divestment, was the deciding vote against the boycott.
Cambridge follows three other Massachusetts councils -- Medford, Northampton and Easthampton -- in divesting from complicit companies. Neighbouring Somerville City Council is set to vote on similar action in November.
Cambridge, part of the Greater Boston area, is home to two of the world's top universities, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Last year, Harvard University faced a legal battle with US President Donald Trump after the president cut funding for the Ivy League institution and blocked visas for international students.
The president claimed the university is an "antisemitic, far left institution", following pro-Palestine protests on campus.
In July 2025, a Boston judge blocked Trump's attempts to bar foreign students from studying at Harvard.
A global dockworkers’ strike involving 113 ports began on Friday in protest against military supply chains supporting Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza- as Palestinians in the besieged territory have also rallied in support of the movement.
Organised by the dockworkers’ union coalition Dockworkers Don’t Work for War, the action has been described by activists as the largest coordinated port mobilisation of its kind.
Organisers said more than 25 unions across five continents would refuse to handle weapons shipments to Israel, staging 24-hour strikes and other actions, including work stoppages and demonstrations of varying durations.
Their demands include an end to the transportation of weapons and military equipment through civilian ports to conflict zones.
Local unions in France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Turkey and Morocco issued a joint call for an end to wars in the Middle East, including the war on Gaza, and “an end to the militarization of ports”.
No Harbour for Genocide (NHG), a pro-Palestine organisation campaigning to halt maritime transfers supporting Israel’s war, told The New Arab that its research had identified 315 consignments of components for Israel’s Elbit Systems passing through 56 commercial ports in 29 countries between August 2025 and September 2026.
NHG said many of the ports detected in its research were among those whose workers were taking part in Friday’s strike.
"The same military, shipping and oil interests driving war and genocide in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Sudan, Congo, and beyond are driving fuel poverty, cost-of-living crises and unsafe conditions in our own ports and communities," a spokesperson for NHG told The New Arab.
"It helped provide examples materially backing the workers who were already moving toward action and found the information useful. The credit for today belongs to the workers themselves."
Organisers said that participation would range from full-day strikes to shorter walkouts and demonstrations, however the extent of the disruption remained unclear as industrial action and protests having been taking place across several countries.
In Greece, the ENEDEP dockworkers’ union called a strike at Piraeus, the country’s largest port, as part of the international day of action.
Additionally, protesters in Turkey's Istanbul gathered outside Haydarpaşa port beneath a banner reading: “No to war, no to armament!”
Italy’s Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) said demonstrations were planned at major ports, including Genoa, Trieste and Gioia Tauro.
In France, the CGT ports and docks federation called a one-day strike at major ports, including Le Havre, Marseille, Dunkirk and Rouen, in opposition to “the militarization of port facilities” under European policies.
"International coordination is the only way forward, and the evidence is in what workers have already won," the NHG spokesperson told The New Arab.
"We've seen arms vessels call at different ports once workers turn against the ship, and we've seen Maersk quietly cut ports like Fos from their weapons supply routes when the opposition there stood alone."
They continued: "Earlier this year, 26 containers of military steel were seized, and that would not have happened without coordinated action to reject three different MSC vessels from ports in Greece, Spain, Türkiye and Italy."
"The supply chain of imperialism is global, and workers have learned the lesson it teaches: it can only be materially disrupted if action is taken globally too."
The pro-Palestine maritime campaign Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) also announced its participation, saying it would join land-based mobilisations across four continents as part of the global shutdown for Palestine.
The group said a flotilla of five vessels would operate in international waters between Sicily and Malta.
GSF added that around 20 of its activists had launched a 24-hour campaign of non-violent direct action to obstruct and challenge three major commercial vessels bound for, or servicing, Israeli infrastructure.
Prominent Spanish-Palestinian flotilla activist Saif Abukeshek told The New Arab that, as strikes take place around the world, GSF is communicating with local unions, including Italy’s USB, to offer support and amplify voices of solidarity with Palestine.
He said the group hopes to expand the movement to countries such as South Africa, India and Australia.
"I believe the message is that we are tired of continually waiting for governments to take the dignified action of ending their complicity and preventing our ports and seas from being used for war purposes and for transporting materials used in the genocide against the Palestinian people," Abukeshek said.
"People, civil society, unions, organisations and students are taking a step forward to prevent this situation from continuing."
He continued: "The message is clear. We are taking a step forward in our mobilisation and we will be adding this as part of our strategy, in addition to the sea missions and flotillas that try to break the Gaza siege."
"We will also continue mobilising through our flotillas to block ships carrying such materials and complicit in the war, as well as organising actions at sea that expose the roots of the genocide and the companies that continue to benefit from and invest in the genocide and the war."
The international mobilisation has drawn support from Palestinians, particularly in Gaza, where residents and the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions have voiced solidarity with the movement.
On Thursday, Palestinians gathered at the fishermen’s port near Gaza City ahead of Friday’s strike, hoping to draw attention to the plight of fishermen who have faced killings, injuries and arrests during Israel’s assault on the territory.
Shaher Saad, secretary-general of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions, told The New Arab that Friday’s international action reflected growing opposition to Israel’s brutal war on Gaza, which has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and injured over 175,000 since 2023, most of them women and children.
Saad also highlighted the situation facing Palestinian fishermen, who have endured destruction and been prevented from accessing the sea since Israel launched its assault.
He said his organisation firmly supported the international mobilisation, describing it as "one form of solidarity with the Palestinian people".
"We knew that many unions affiliated with the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions wanted to express solidarity with the Palestinian people and oppose the transfer of lethal weapons to the Israeli government, which is killing Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem."
Saad said the federation had formally backed the initiative after learning of plans for workplace strikes and protests.
"When we learned about this trade union initiative, which involved calling for strikes and protests at workplaces, we formally supported it."
The union leader stressed the importance of the action in calling for governments to intervene and impose a full arms embargo on Israel.
"This is an important form of solidarity because these weapons are being used to kill Palestinian children, women, elderly people, medical staff and journalists," Saad told The New Arab.
"All of this is happening while weapons are being transported through ports around the world to Israel, where they are used to kill the Palestinian people."
Saad confirmed that the federation was coordinating with Palestinian workers and fishermen in Gaza, while expressing hope that Friday’s mobilisation would lead to sustained international cooperation rather than remain a one-day show of solidarity.
"The workers who took part in today's strike have performed a heroic act of solidarity. They have raised their voices in support of the Palestinian people and stood alongside them," he told The New Arab.
"The Palestinian people have been deprived of their freedom. They seek to establish an independent and democratic Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital."
He added: "The Palestinian people want peace, but peace must be based on their rights and dignity, and above all on the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. It cannot simply mean concessions granted by the Israeli occupation to those it chooses."
"We do not want this occupation on our land, and there can be no lasting solution while it continues to remain on our homeland."
US oil giants reported Friday another quarter of soaring profits reflecting higher oil prices and refining margins due to the US-Israeli war on Iran.
ExxonMobil's profits in the period came in at $15.4 billion, slightly more than double the $7.5 billion in the year-ago period, while Chevron's profits were $9.9 billion, compared with $3.5 billion in the year-ago quarter.
The surge in US petroleum earnings comes on the heels of similar increases at European companies as the US-Israeli war on Iran drags on. The impacts have been most dramatic in refining, where the profit margins for processing crude oil into gasoline, diesel and other petroleum products have exploded in recent months.
Steep price increases and supply shortfalls in some cases have sparked protests in parts of Asia, Latin America and Europe. In the United States, President Donald Trump's Republican party faces a stern test in next week's midterm elections, with high gasoline and diesel prices souring the mood of consumers.
At ExxonMobil, oil prices averaged around $85 per barrel during the period, about a third more than in the 2025 quarter.
Refining margins were $50.3 per barrel, almost three times the level in the year-ago period as the company cited efforts to boost output of diesel and other key products that have seen supplies tighten.
"Refining capacity in Russia and the Middle East remained curtailed, with roughly 10 percent of global capacity offline," the company said in prepared remarks ahead of a conference call.
"North American refineries sustained high operating rates during the quarter but were unable to fully offset reduced global refining capacity availability," according to the remarks.
The efforts to boost output translated into 100 percent crude unit utilization at US Gulf Coast refineries, ExxonMobil said in its press release.
Chevron scored higher profits in its upstream business, but also won its greatest increases in the downstream area, where profits of $4.9 billion were more than four times the level in the year-ago period.
The NGO 350.org, which advocates for clean energy and other measures to address climate change, called for "permanent levies" on "exceptional" oil industry profits, with the funds going to consumers and to finance the energy transition.
"As we head into the midterms, energy affordability is on everyone's minds," said Candice Forten, US campaigns manager for 350.0rg.
"Families and small businesses want reliable electricity they can afford, and communities want a say in how their land, water and energy resources are used," Forten said. "Yet as people struggle with energy bills and the impacts of extreme weather, the biggest oil companies are forecast to make billions."
Forten called for policies to ensure that data centers for artificial intelligence do not drive up electricity bills and that oil companies "pay their fair share towards the costs of the crisis, rather than leaving the public to pick up the bill."
Shares of ExxonMobil rose 2.0 percent in pre-market trading, while Chevron climbed 1.7 percent.
Israa Nasrallah never imagined that the release of her husband, 35-year-old Bakr Khreiwesh, in the most recent prisoner exchange deal last October 2025 would be followed by continued harassment and his re-arrest.
21 August brought an unpleasant surprise to Isra and her husband; their home in the city of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank was raided by the Israeli army. Once again, her husband was taken under "administrative detention", a practice that allows for indefinite imprisonment without charge or trial, repeatedly renewed.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club has warned that Israel has been re-arresting, harassing, and interrogating at least 80 former Palestinian prisoners who have been released as part of previous exchange deals between Hamas and Israel.
In a statement, the organisation noted that these security and judicial measures prevent former detainees from resuming their normal lives and exacerbate the suffering of the families of those who were deported or exiled, leaving them unable to see their loved ones.
Bakr was one of 1,968 Palestinian prisoners released in the latest deal. He was among the small number of individuals whom Israel permitted to return to their homes in the occupied West Bank, rather than being deported elsewhere.
He had been serving a nine-year prison sentence, of which he had completed six years. During his time in prison, he and his wife had twins, conceived through sperm smuggled out of the Israeli prison.
Isra described to The New Arab how her husband’s release as part of the prisoner exchange deal was the end to the family's nightmare. Throughout the seven months since being free, Bakr spent with his family, Israeli intelligence repeatedly summoned him for questioning and interrogation.
"Israeli officers would constantly call to threaten him or summon him for interrogation, during Ramadan, during the Eid holidays, and at other times. They made sure he felt he was always being watched, signaling that his release under the deal didn’t guarantee he wouldn't be arrested again," she said.
At one point, Israeli intelligence threatened the landlord of the apartment the family was renting, warning that if he didn’t evict them, the Israeli army would take the landlord instead. Consequently, the family was forced to leave and move in temporarily with a relative.
"The pressure extended even to our housing; Israeli intelligence kept a close watch on our situation and threatened anyone who might rent a home to us. We felt as though we were constantly under their gaze," Isra explained.
Bakr is currently being held in the Naqab prison. His lawyer has been able to visit him only once since his arrest; afterward, Bakr asked his family not to send the lawyer again. When Isra inquired why, she learned that any prisoner is subjected to severe beatings immediately following such visits.
She is also deeply concerned about his health. He has begun to suffer from scabies due to a lack of hygiene. Furthermore, at the time of his release under the prisoner exchange deal, he had already lost a significant amount of weight and was suffering from chronic pain in his back and knees to the point where he could barely walk, as a result of the brutal beatings he endured prior to his initial release.
The New Arab contacted several former Palestinian prisoners; none were willing to comment, citing Israeli threats that they could be re-arrested.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club has linked these pursuits to an escalation in abuses including mistreatment, starvation, denial of medical care, and solitary confinement within Israeli prisons since the onset of the aggression on Gaza.
The organisation pointed to the severe physical and psychological toll observed among those released, particularly those from the Gaza Strip.
Approximately 3,985 Palestinian prisoners, men, women, and children, have been released through three separate exchange deals. These include a November 2023 agreement (240 prisoners), a deal spanning January and February 2025 (1,777 prisoners), and an October 2025 agreement (1,968 prisoners and detainees).
Helmi Al-Araj, director of the Hurriyat Center for Civil Rights, told TNA that Israel has never adhered to the terms of these agreements even those with clear and specific provisions.
He cited the "Shalit deal" as an example; in 2014, Israel re-arrested more than 50 prisoners who had been released under that agreement. Many remained in prison for long periods, and some were only released again during the more recent exchange deals.
Al-Araj explained that Israel is employing the same tactic regarding the latest agreement, re-arresting released prisoners, both men and women, in an apparent attempt to signal that it won’t bide by any conditions, and that anyone can be taken back into custody at any time.
He added that this serves as a message to the released prisoners; they remain under surveillance, subject to pursuit and arrest and even killing or assassination, as is currently the case in the Gaza Strip.
"The Israeli occupation’s underlying message is an attempt to terrorize the released prisoners, their families, and the Palestinian people at large, by asserting that everyone is being pursued and remains subject to arrest regardless of whether or not they are currently engaged in any activity," he added.
According to Al-Araj, Israel was compelled to release these prisoners but refuses to fully accept this reality; consequently, it pursues them more aggressively than others, under the pretext that they pose a threat to its security.
"As far as is known, none of these released prisoners are engaged in any activities in the West Bank. Yet, Israel is violating the terms of the prisoner exchange deal, as well as international law and international humanitarian law. It arrests these individuals without charge, subjects many of them to administrative detention, and fails to uphold the standards required for fair trials," he concluded.
As of 5 October 2026, the number of prisoners held in Israeli jails reached approximately 9,300, according to the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.
This figure includes 3,101 individuals held under administrative detention, as well as approximately 350 children and 91 women. The organisation also documented 1,419 detainees from the Gaza Strip whom Israel classifies as "unlawful combatants", though these figures don’t necessarily account for everyone held within Israeli military camps.
To my knowledge, the first public, English-language warning that a genocide was unfolding in the Gaza Strip came from Israeli genocide scholar Raz Segal, five days after the events of 7 October 2023. Amnesty International confirmed Segal's conclusions fourteen months later, by which time at least 40,000 more Palestinians were killed.
The Amnesty Report still failed, however, to compel Western governments to act, despite being the first of its kind the organisation issued in the midst of a genocide.
Instead, the live-stream slaughter continued broadcasting for another ten months when a ceasefire finally came into effect in October 2025. By that time, at least 72,000 Palestinian were killed, and virtually all of Gaza’s urban infrastructure had been transformed into rubble.
The question of why and how Israel’s genocide persisted for so long despite repeated warnings and full knowledge of its unfolding is a question that must not slip from public conscience.
Indeed, it is the proverbial 800-pound gorilla in the room that world powers pretend isn’t there, and the continued failure to explain its presence tempts others to repeat similar crimes elsewhere.
However, the danger of the genocide resuming full-throttled in Gaza is also very real, particularly after Israeli and US mid-term elections. Almost daily, Israel’s politicians and military brass vow to complete their ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and bicker over whether the slaughter they already committed there was enough.
Furthermore, the US has also recently resupplied Israel with 40,000 two-tonne bombs - the chief weapon of the genocide.
The daily toll of those killed also reminds us that the ceasefire itself was never observed.
Collectively, these factors remind us that the forces that committed the genocide, protected it and pushed it forward, are all still very much alive today, and have used the passage of time to reposition.
So how does the solidarity movement get rid of the guerrilla, especially given that Western democratic institutions and representatives have proven themselves to be so spineless, paralysed and complicit?
To its credit, the movement did an impressive job shining a flashlight into the institutional undercarriage of Western capitalism, trying to discover what made the killing machine run.
Of course, its work was assisted by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, whose longstanding work documents where the bloody shoes that stomped all over Gaza were initially purchased and tread.
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese also produced an important report that mapped key political-economic connections running between government, the private sector and universities.
The report admitted, however, that it could only document “the tip of the iceberg” and warned that complicity around the genocide would not end “without holding the private sector accountable, including its executives."
This is precisely what lies behind the US State Department’s recent declaration of sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC). This extraordinary measure was not just another Trump administration swipe against multilateralism but was a specific attempt to protect US citizens and corporations from possible future prosecution.
Both the ICJ (which prosecutes states) and the ICC (which prosecutes individuals) are deeply engaged in investigating Israel’s genocide and the individuals responsible for it. While article 25(1) of the Rome Statute prevents the ICC from prosecuting corporations, the Court can target individual corporate officers, including directors and employees.
In sum, the US knows it needs to get ahead of the curve because there is no shortage of US corporations and executives that are targets of these courts.
As time passes, more research surfaces explaining the political economy of the genocide. One of the most effective of these is a visualisation recently produced by an anonymous collective tracing the genocide’s “blood money”.
This impressive set of figures and visualisations exposes a tangled web of inter-permeated interests and actors, chiefly focused around the military-industrial, big tech, and financial services sectors. While none of these sectors is entirely surprising given their profiteering role, the scale and depth of their complicity were both active and conscious, rather than circumstantial or passive.
Microsoft, Google and Amazon provided cloud services to the Israeli government and its main arms producers that enabled Israel to draw up the genocide’s kill lists. This included collecting 200 million hours of audio files that these companies helped Israel browse and analyse.
How many of these recordings document the last horrific screams of 20,000 children killed when daddy finally did come home? Thousands, certainly.
Google and Amazon even had a secret “winking” mechanism to tip Israel off when foreign courts asked them for information on their servers.
In a just world, the heads of these corporations would all be on trial for these crimes, right next to Netanyahu, Trump, Biden and Starmer.
The audio and video resources these execs helped Israel process should also be made public through enforced court disclosure procedures. They are the records that document the banality of evil in today’s world, and should be interred in a future version of the Palestinian genocide museum when the time comes.
For years, big tech’s relations with Israel have been like a kid in a candy store, as Silicon Valley shopped in Silicon Wadi to see the latest Unit 8200 spinoffs and gadgets. Israeli start-ups were showered with billions in venture capital, encouraging innovation in the dark arts of occupation, apartheid and genocide for the purpose of commercial hyper-scaling.
The blood money visualisations also show that even larger behemoths of Western capitalism sit behind big tech, also profiteering from genocide - the major index funds like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street and others.
These funds oversee assets larger than virtually every country in the world, except the US. They own significant chunks of big tech, and virtually everything profitable on the S&P 500.
The index funds link genocide profits to public and private sector pension plans, making individual Western employees unwitting benefactors of Gaza’s blood money.
All of this speaks to how the genocide was hardly the act of a Zionist cabal that penetrated Western government and corporations. Instead, it was a set of interests, relations, and inclinations that saturated the heart and nervous system of Western capitalism, particularly its big tech, financial services, and military-industrial wings.
These wings have come to dominate Western capitalism today and are deemed ‘too big to fail’ by the political class, as they also lie at the centre of Western geo-economic strategies to compete with China in this post-neoliberal age of imperial anxiety.
Their power transcends the domain of states, and they use their resources to manipulate the markets, states, and international systems they operate across.
These corporations also hide their wealth in tax havens and defy regulation because they operate at the frontiers of technological and economic ‘innovation’ the world has never seen. It will take years for lawmakers to catch up to their tax-beating chicanery, if ever.
By serving as parastate actors, they undermine traditional bourgeois liberal capitalism and its elementary associated values - not only of free trade and competition, but also of privacy, free expression, the free press, the right to organise, and academic freedom. It is not by chance that critics have come to describe this era as one marked by technofuedalism that is ushering in authoritariansm and fascism.
Indeed, this is the anatomy of the 800-pound gorilla that explains its self-righteous staid. The gorilla that hangs about the room smashing up Gaza has also plundered the public assets of social democracy, to say nothing of the resources of the Third World. He is king because we are in his jungle.
Like the ‘disposable’ people of Gaza, the Western working class now awaits an inevitable culling, be it from mass AI-induced redundancy, WWIII or both.
Seen in this light, Palestine and the Gaza genocide are but one frontier in a fragmented global dystopia where AI technologies now juice the gorilla with amphetamine.
This is also why the movement to end the genocide in Gaza has such a historic role: it is the key global political actor that understands the political-economic connections that animate the gorilla and which make it so dangerous - not only in Palestine and the Middle East, but also in Porto, Paris and Milan. It has also built and mobilised an inchoate global infrastructure of movement to contain the gorilla, even though the task of actually disempowering him is now down to the ropes and arrows of the global Lilliputian class in our millions.
God save us all if we fail.

US President Donald Trump has cancelled scheduled rallies in Iowa and Kansas ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections, and will instead hold a series of tele-rallies.
The Republican National Committee announced the change on Thursday, saying their party is "in a strong position in Kansas and Iowa", and the tele-rallies will "reach more voters in the limited time left before polls close".
In Kansas, Republican Senator Roger Marshall is up for reelection in a close race against Democrat Adam Hamilton. The state will also elect its governor in a race between Republican Ty Masterson and Democrat Cindy Holscher. The position is currently held by Democrat Laura Kelly, who cannot run for reelection due to term limits.
Iowans will vote in a key Senate race between Republican Ashley Hinson and Democrat Josh Turek. The state will also elect two new member of congress, and its governor in a race between Republican Zach Lahn and Democrat Rob Sand. Current Republican Governor Kim Reynolds announced in last year that she would not run for reelection.
"I think what's interesting about these two states is they're traditionally quite red," Andrew Proctor, lecturer of US politics at University College London's Institute of the Americas, told The New Arab.
"I do think [Trump's decision to cancel the campaign appearances] is an indicator that they might think they could lose them."
The cancelled rallies could also point to concerns about the 80-year-old president's health, Proctor said.
"It could be broader questions about his level of stamina, and whether or not he's too exhausted to do them."
Many Republican candidates are reluctant to show support for the president, with two-thirds who are running in close races having distanced themselves from Trump, according to analysis by Reuters.
An NPR/PBS/Marist poll published Tuesday found that 40% of likely voters approve of his presidency, while 59% disapprove.
"One thing we also don't know, did those candidates tell him not to come, which could've been another reason why these events were cancelled," Proctor said.
The choice to hold tele-rallies is a departure from Trump's usual style of campaigning, which is known for his in-person rally speeches that typically run for well over an hour.
"His supporters usually like to see him in person, so I think this is more digital format isn't really in line with what we know his approach to politics to be," Proctor said.
He added that if the Republicans lose both Congress and the Senate, "I think you could expect to see a lot of distancing from the president in the next couple of years. I definitely think that that's how that will play out".
"If there's a world where they actually hold onto the Senate and maybe the House, the House is looking very unlikely, but if there was a world where did that did happen, I think you would see people cozy back up with him after after the midterms."
