Don’t Look Away: Kathy Kelly: Displaced Palestinians staying in flimsy tents

After spending millions of dollars redecorating the White House and transforming D.C. monuments, President Trump approved, on September 15, 2026, an additional 2.8 billion dollar sale of heavy bombs to Israel, including 40,000 one-ton bombs, 20,000 of the 2,000 lb. bombs, and 20,000 bunker-busting penetrator warheads. Israel has used these bombs to destroy homes, families and crucial infrastructure in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

This latest U.S. weapons package will replenish Israel’s stockpile of bombs that human rights groups have condemned after documenting their use over the past two and a half years to kill, maim, bereave, and forcibly displace Palestinians. Survivors whose homes have been reduced to rubble now live in makeshift shelters, including flimsy tents, while Israel continues to restrict deliveries of supplies that could protect Gazans from harsh weather, disease, rodent and insect infestations, and other hardships of displacement.

Gaza children’s shroud media

Justice For All, Doctors Against Genocide, Priests Against Genocide, and the NGO Committee on Human Rights to the UN co-organized the “Gaza Children’s Shroud” exhibition at the UN Church Center in New York. Hundreds of people participated, including activists, concerned New Yorkers from all faiths and walks of life, UN staff, and diplomats from around a dozen countries, including the Palestinian Ambassador to the UN. The shroud bears the names of at least 20,000 children killed by Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and participants signed the names of the children on it. The event received wide media coverage around the world.

Imam Saffet Catovic, Director of UN Operations for Justice For All, led the interfaith vigil and service at the UN Church Center alongside many other faith leaders, and a mother from Gaza who has lost many family members, including a large number of children to Israeli bombings. The initiative was supported by 30 endorsing organizations and NGOs at the UN. The campaign affirms that each child has a name and is not just a number or statistic. The campaign calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, an end to the targeting of children and civilians, unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza, and accountability for those responsible for these atrocities. The campaign will continue with a week of programs and events in Washington, DC, in November, and then a new city every month as part of a year-long campaign.

Mass Surveillance and Transnational Repression Targeting Uyghurs Documented in New Anthropic Threat Report

Justice For All’s Save Uyghur Campaign strongly condemns the state-aligned cyber and intelligence operations detailed in a comprehensive threat intelligence report published by AI safety company Anthropic. The report reveals how China-based and Chinese state-aligned actors have integrated artificial intelligence tools to automate mass surveillance, targeting and transnational repression against Uyghur civilians, journalists and diaspora organizations globally.

Arslan Hidayat, Team Lead of Justice For All’s Save Uyghur Campaign, said: “This landmark report from Anthropic provides undeniable evidence of how AI technologies are being weaponized to expand state surveillance and transnational repression beyond borders. From exploiting family ties in East Turkistan as coercive leverage to spying on cultural gatherings in Turkiye and targeting diaspora news outlets like the Uyghur Post, these operations represent an existential threat to Uyghurs worldwide.”

Kashmir Valley Muslims severely underrepresented in latest government recruitment

A stark disparity in the latest government recruitment in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir has raised fresh concerns over the marginalization of Muslims from the Kashmir Valley. Of 55 officers selected for the Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Service and J&K Accounts (Gazetted) Service, only 10 are from the Kashmir Valley — about 18% of the total.

The Valley, which is overwhelmingly Muslim, accounts for approximately 56% of Jammu and Kashmir’s population. The figures mean its representation in the recruitment is less than one-third of its population share. Experts link the disparity to Indian systematic attempt at weakening Kashmiri Muslims in their socioeconomic reality.

Even proposed changes to the reservation framework would increase the Valley’s representation to only about 19%, still far below its 56% population share.

West Bengal orders 252 madrasas closure

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led government in the Indian state of West Bengal has declared an immediate closure to 252 madrasas across the state. Notices were served to these madrasas under the excuse of their being unrecognized. The end-result is that thousands of children have lost their access to traditional Islamic education and no forward regularization path has been put in place, either for the madrasas or for the students. Community leaders have called this action as a goal of the state government to prioritize political situations over the fundamental educational rights of minorities. The action violates several International conventions that India is a signatory to. West Bengal has seen a series of actions against Muslims ever since the BJP came to power, including a complete disregard, amounting to a denial of water access to Muslim residents in some localities.

OUR WORK

We have continually brought these madrasa closings, in many areas of the country to public as well as agency attention. We are working on this most recent closure also. A press release is being sent in addition.

UNGA president Khalilur terms Rohingya crisis as ‘grave human crisis’

President of the UN General Assembly’s 81st session Khalilur Rahman has described the Rohingya crisis as a ‘grave human crisis’ and said violence will not solve any problem.

‘The lesson I carry is this — violence will not solve any problem. It will only defer it and make it worse. Only through talks and negotiation, only by coming together, we can resolve these issues,’ he said.

The UNGA president said it is a grave human crisis — a population attacked, their homes bombed, their villages burned, chased out by their own country’s people while pregnant mothers’ abdomens cut open and the fetuses thrown into fire.

‘But I also saw their resilience, their ability to survive and their yearning to go home. When the secretary-general visited Cox’s Bazar last year, more than 100,000 refugees gathered on a Ramadan evening to share breakfast with him, each holding a placard reading: we want to go home,’ Khalilur said.
