Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Ireland Joins South Africa’s Genocide Case Against Israel at International Court of Justice

HeadlineJan 08, 2025

Ireland has become the latest country to formally join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel before the International Court of Justice. Last month Israel closed its embassy in Ireland to protest after Ireland initially said it would join the case.

Meanwhile, Israel is blocking the United Nations from investigating reports of sexual crimes committed by Hamas during the October 7 attack. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports Israel blocked the probe because it feared it would open the door to the U.N. investigating the sexual abuse of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
