  • BLACK GOLD, RED HANDS: COAL REROUTING AND THE EMBARGO FRONT

    Vessel-level tracking of South African coal shipments to Israel is independently corroborated by the SA BDS Coalition’s “Fuelling Genocide: An Analysis of South Africa’s Coal Exports to Israel” (March 2026). Today, South African coal is a critical chokepoint in the supply chains sustaining Israel’s electricity system. Disrupting those flows is not symbolic. It is a material route toward ending genocidal energy supply.

  • Impunity Has a Carbon Footprint

    Impunity Has a Carbon Footprint

    by Özge Onay | 27 Apr 2026, Critical Legal Thinking

    A single F-35 fighter jet burns through roughly 5,600 litres of fuel for every hour it is in the air. A US aircraft carrier strike group on deployment consumes more oil in a week than some small nations use in a year. The B-52 bombers the United States flew over the Middle East in recent months burn so much fuel on a single mission that the carbon from one sortie roughly equals what an average British household produces in twelve months. Nobody adds any of this to a climate ledger. It is not counted, not reported, and not required to be.

    A tale of two Middle East voyages

    By Nasiha Soomar, 22 April 2026, Mail & Guardian

    There are two kinds of ships leaving for the Middle East right now.

    The first kind carries coal. It departs from Richards Bay, on the northeastern coast of South Africa. Massive bulk carriers, loaded in the holds, bound for Israeli ports. The companies arranging this trade do not advertise the destination. They do not need to. The ships move. The coal moves. The genocide is sustained.

  • PALESTINIAN PRISONERS DAY: A SOMBRE REFLECTION FROM ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION TO THE DEATH PENALTY

    PALESTINIAN PRISONERS DAY: A SOMBRE REFLECTION FROM ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION TO THE DEATH PENALTY

    The 17th of April is a significant day of commemoration for two peoples separated by continents but subjected to the same neo-colonial, imperialist oppression. These two peoples’ manner of commemoration is widely different. For Cubans, it is a celebration of their victory over the US-backed ‘Bay of Pigs’ invasion. However, for Palestinians it is not a day of celebration; it is a day of sombre and sober reflection.
