Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The English translation appeared on the Resistance News Network on Telegram. For nine consecutive days, the zionist war machine has been carrying out genocidal massacres and ethnic cleansing against our people in North Gaza, particularly in Jabalia Camp. This has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of martyrs, extensive destruction of infrastructure, the blocking of relief supplies, and a starvation war, while preventing fuel from reaching hospitals – threatening the lives of thousands of patients and wounded, as part of a… […]
Tallahassee, FL – On October 9, Tallahassee Students for a Democratic Society, in collaboration with other local community organizers, held a press conference to condemn Florida State University for platforming an Israeli soldier, Yair Ansbacher. Ansbacher, a Zionist propagandist, was given an opportunity to express his genocidal beliefs while pro-Palestine student activists are repressed. Florida State University’s administration has attempted to silence those speaking out for Palestine by barring SDS from meeting on campus and arresting and banning five protesters. In 2020, FSU removed Ahmad Daraldik from his position as student government president, simply for being Palestinian and expressing support… […]
Denver, CO – “You often hear of horrific human rights abuses around the world but just two hours down the road is one of the grossest violations of human rights, located at the federal supermax prison in Florence,” stated Mark Burton to open his presentation about his client, Colombian revolutionary Simon Trinidad. Burton went on to describe to the attentive student crowd the inhumane conditions of the prolonged solitary confinement suffered by those who “are attempted to be thrown away and forgotten.” Although most of the world views prolonged solitary confinement as psychological torture, the U.S. does not. Trinidad led… […]

Minneapolis, MN – Both chapters of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers Local 59 (MFT59) have voted to pass an arms embargo resolution demanding an end to U.S. military aid to Israel. The final vote in the Teacher’s Chapter was 67% for and only 33% against, while the final vote in the Education Support Professionals (ESP) Chapter was unanimous: 47 for, 0 against, with 3 abstentions.

Tampa, FL – On Wednesday, October 10, at around 8:30 p.m., Milton hit about 40 miles south of Tampa Bay as a category three hurricane. Not even two weeks after Hurricane Helene, Milton's damage has been staggering. Before hurricane Milton hit, demand for gasoline in Tampa had already emptied many stations. Days later, gas is hard to obtain, with 77% of gas stations without fuel as of Friday. The few gas stations with supplies have hour-long lines guarded by state troopers. “The line was so long it literally wrapped around the street a couple blocks down. People were legitimately fighting… […]
