Palestine won overwhelming support at the International Labour Organization, defeating an Israeli-backed effort to revoke its expanded status.

Key Developments

• Palestine secured 394 votes at the International Labour Conference, with only 17 countries voting against.
• The conference rejected an Israeli-backed attempt to revoke Palestine’s status and participation rights within the ILO.
• The vote builds on a 2025 decision upgrading Palestine from a national liberation movement to a non-member observer state.

Major Diplomatic Victory

Palestine scored a significant diplomatic victory on Wednesday after the International Labour Conference overwhelmingly rejected an Israeli-backed effort to reverse its status within the International Labour Organization (ILO).

The vote reaffirms the growing international recognition of Palestinian statehood and participation in multilateral institutions.

Meeting in Geneva during its 114th session, the conference voted by a margin of 394 votes in favor, 17 against and 42 abstentions to uphold Palestine’s standing and participation rights within the organization.

The vote represented a decisive defeat for an Israeli initiative, supported by the United States and Argentina, seeking to rescind the resolution that had granted Palestine observer-state status and expanded privileges within the ILO.

According to WAFA, the legal quorum stood at 296 votes, while only 206 votes were required for a majority, underscoring the scale of support Palestine received. Following the announcement of the results, delegates in the conference hall applauded, reflecting broad backing for the Palestinian position.

Tense Session in Geneva

The vote took place amid visible tensions inside the conference hall.

According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Geneva, the Israeli delegation unsuccessfully sought a repeat of the vote after the result became clear.

The session also witnessed repeated interruptions during the Israeli delegate’s speech. Delegates reportedly protested by banging on tables and creating sustained noise inside the hall, expressing opposition to Israeli policies and solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

The scenes highlighted the increasingly difficult diplomatic environment Israel has faced in international forums since the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Building on Last Year’s Upgrade

The latest vote follows a landmark decision adopted by the ILO in June 2025.

At that time, the organization upgraded Palestine’s status from a designation dating back to the 1970s as a “national liberation movement” to that of a “non-member observer state.”

The move aligned the ILO with broader United Nations recognition frameworks already adopted by organizations such as UNESCO and the World Health Organization.

The upgrade granted Palestine expanded participation rights, including the ability to address agenda items, submit proposals, participate fully in meetings and nominate delegates to certain conference bodies beginning in 2026.

Palestinian officials described the measure as part of a broader effort to secure recognition and representation across international institutions despite the continued absence of full UN membership.

Diplomatic Campaign

Palestinian officials credited the result to months of diplomatic engagement.

Palestine’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Ambassador Ibrahim Khraishi, played a central role in mobilizing support through consultations with member states and diplomatic groups.

The 2025 resolution had received backing from the Arab Group, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and a broad coalition of countries including France, Spain, China and Switzerland.

At the time, Khraishi described the ILO decision as a direct response to efforts aimed at denying Palestinian statehood and self-determination.

Palestinian Reactions

The Secretary-General of the General Federation of Palestinian Trade Unions, Shaher Saad, welcomed Wednesday’s result as further evidence of Palestine’s growing standing within international institutions.

Saad said the vote demonstrated increasing international support for Palestinian rights and praised the joint efforts of Palestinian representatives from government, labor and employer organizations.

He also thanked Arab and international delegations that supported Palestine throughout the discussions and voting process.

According to Saad, the outcome shows that Palestine continues to achieve diplomatic and political gains despite the extraordinary circumstances facing the Palestinian people and workers.

CANADA DOES TRADE WITH TERRORISTS

 It's true , kkkanada does do business with the biggest terrorist state in the world :

Yes, the Canadian government and private Canadian defense manufacturers actively sell military equipment and technology to the United States. Because of the highly integrated North American defense industrial base, the U.S. is a major buyer of Canadian-made defense hardware, components, and ammunition. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Key details of these sales include:

• Direct Military Sales & Procurement: Canadian manufacturers—such as General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) in Quebec and Liftking Manufacturing in Ontario—regularly secure multi-million-dollar contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense to supply tank/artillery ammunition and specialized military vehicles. [1, 2]
• Tactical & Emergency Vehicles: Ontario-based defense company Roshel supplies armored, emergency response vehicles (like the Senator) to the U.S. State Department and U.S. agencies. [1, 2]
• Supply Chain Components: Canadian companies frequently manufacture and export sub-components and explosive materials that end up in larger U.S. defense systems, such as the F-35 fighter jet program. [1]
• The Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC): The Canadian government uses the CCC—a federal Crown corporation—as a prime contracting agency to facilitate these sales directly to the U.S. Department of Defense. [1, 2]

While the U.S. is a primary customer for Canadian defense goods, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's administration launched a "Buy Canadian" defence industrial strategy aimed at boosting domestic production. However, this policy focuses on domestic procurement and has not halted the ongoing flow of Canadian-manufactured military exports to the United States

OPTIMISM

 It's important to stay optimistic in the face of all of the death and destruction rained down on the people of the world by the imperialist powers , including the kkkanadian government , or at the very least they're helping the others do it .

Checking other news sources is a great way to get facts , and not accepting the ruling powers' definitions of " terrorists " versus " freedom fighters is important also . Fuck the bougie motherfuckers .

What it takes to win

By Sue Harris posted on May 29, 2026

From May 12 to May 16, the Lebanese liberation organization Hezbollah reported that its fighters destroyed a new Zionist barracks that contained artillery, bulldozers and other vehicles located in a southern Lebanese town.

The Israeli state killed hundreds of people to assassinate Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah in 2024, but millions are inspired to fight to liberate Lebanon. May 2026.

Hezbollah destroyed all the vehicles and equipment in the barracks and then attacked the remaining soldiers directly with drones. In a different town, Hezbollah did the same thing, destroying Israeli tanks and vehicles and attacking Israeli troops with drones and artillery. (Resistance News Network, May 22)

Hezbollah has been waging such attacks almost daily since March 2, when they resumed fighting after Israel continued to violate the ceasefire agreed to earlier.

On May 24, Lebanese Resistance and Liberation Day, the new Secretary General of Hezbollah Sheikh Naim Qassem said that Hezbollah refuses to disarm and will defend the people of Lebanon even when the government is unwilling to do it: “The weapons will remain in our hands until the Lebanese state is able to perform its duty. What is happening in the south is the beginning of the demise of ‘Israel.’” (RNN, May 24)

Hundreds of Israelis, displaced from Kiryat Shmona, a northern Israeli town on the border with Lebanon, are refusing to return to the settlement. This is despite financial incentives offered by the Israeli government. What’s stopping them is the Israeli military’s ongoing fighting with Hezbollah. (Israeli Channel 12, May 25)

Moshe Davidovich, head of the Israeli Mateh Asher Regional Council in the western Galilee and chairman of the Northern Conflict Zone Forum, told Israeli media that Hezbollah must be defeated or the northern Zionist settlements would cease to exist. (The Cradle, May 24)

To better understand this, consider what happened in September 2024, when the Israelis assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

To kill that one leader, the Israeli forces leveled at least four large buildings in a residential section of Beirut, killing hundreds of people living in them. Nasrallah died among his colleagues and his family. There had previously been a series of deadly bombings of Beirut and its environs prior to the assassination, killing over 800 people and injuring at least 5,000.

In this process aimed at eliminating the Lebanese resistance, the Israelis murdered many other Hezbollah leaders. On Sept. 17, 2024, Israel detonated hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah party members, wounding dozens of people, mostly civilians, and revealing shocking intelligence penetration.

At the time, many believed that it would be difficult for the Lebanese resistance, that is, Hezbollah, to recover from this blow. Wikipedia has an entry saying some thought it was the end of the resistance.

In retrospect, however, as reported on May 24 in The Cradle: “The steadfastness of fighters on the border fighting a fight to the death provided the party’s remaining top military leaders room to breathe and gather themselves to regroup. These walking martyrs saved the party.”

Hezbollah began reconstructing the organization on Nov. 28, 2025, one day after the ceasefire agreement.

Inside the organization, the assumption was not that the war had ended, but that another round of fighting with Israel was only a matter of time. The ceasefire meant that although the war had exacted a heavy toll, it had also left open a critical space in which the organization could reconstitute itself. By mid-December 2025 they did just that.

Hezbollah replenished weapons, etc., by taking over unattended Syrian supplies and with help from Iran.

According to Middle East Eye, Hezbollah resumed attacking on March 2 and hasn’t stopped. On March 19, Hezbollah’s missiles even reached southern Israel, sending Israelis in Ashkelon and communities near the Gaza Strip running for cover.

The Israelis are finding out that just by being the most heinous or murderous actor doesn’t guarantee victory — if the liberation forces are also ready to fight. Being the most determined and patient, while acting in solidarity with the people can work better.

HIT 'EM AGAIN AND AGAIN

 It's no mystery why you won't hear about the fascist imperialist army's losses and stupidity during their various massacres and invasions . Yes , that's mostly what they are . The deaths of thousands of civilians , many of them children . They rarely engage a real army , and when they do , they go down the shitter .

Hezbollah Annihilates Truckload of Zionist Troops in Attack Dedicated to Iranian Schoolgirls Massacred by US-Israel

Lebanese resistance party Hezbollah released footage of a successful drone attack against an Israeli military vehicle filled with Zionist troops in southern Lebanon on May 26.

The video begins with Hezbollah fighters assembling the first-person-view (FPV) suicide drone in front of a sign that reads in Farsi, “Dedicated to the sacrificing dear Iranian people for the kindness and continued support of Lebanon. Your brothers from the Islamic Resistance of Lebanon.”

A separate sign resting on the drone says in Farsi, “The martyrs of the Minab Shajare Elementary School,” in reference to the 180 schoolgirls and teachers who were murdered by the US and Israel in an attack on a girls’ elementary school on the first day of the invasion of Iran on February 28.

The video then shows the drone following an Israeli military vehicle as it drives. A few Zionist soldiers jump out of the back of the vehicle right as the drone makes impact.

Hezbollah has had extensive success in annihilating Israeli forces with its FPV drones over the past month, which are cheap to produce and resistant to remote jamming. The footage provided by the drones exposes the losses of Zionist forces invading Lebanon, which are systematically hidden by Israel. The resistance drone attacks, in conjunction with multi-phase ambushes of the invaders, have forced the IDF this month to retreat from multiple south Lebanese towns and to limit their daytime maneuvers, curtailing the Zionist entity’s genocidal operations flattening the homes of south Lebanon.

On May 25, Nazi-Zionist butcher Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel is intensifying its genocidal campaign against Lebanon in an effort to defeat Hezbollah and occupy the country. The announcement came as Lebanon celebrated Resistance and Liberation Day, this year marking the 26th anniversary of the victory of Lebanese resistance forces led by Hezbollah against Israel, ending much of the Zionists’ 15-year occupation of their country.

Israel and Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire on April 16 this year as part of Iran’s condition of a regional ceasefire after Iran, Hezbollah, and other regional resistance allies defeated US-Zionist forces through roughly six weeks of coordinated warfare.

Israel has since attacked Lebanon on a daily basis despite signing the ceasefire. Hezbollah continues to strike daily against invading forces, preventing Zionist troops from making it more than a few miles into Lebanese territory. According to the resistances’ military media office, Hezbollah carried out 22 operations on May 25 and 32 on May 26.

VERY VERY AMERIKKKAN

 There is nothing surprising about the shootings at the San Diego Islamic Center . In fact , there is zero that should surprise you about amerikkkan racism and terrorism at all . 

Public burnings of the Holy Quran , anti-Muslim rhetoric from politicians , and invading and destroying predominantly Muslim countries is business as usual in the good ol' u.s.a. 

This article was written by an american politcal group , however , and they are on point .

San Diego shootings – act of domestic terrorism

WW editorial

By WW editors posted on May 26, 2026

One of the victims was Amin Abdullah, a security guard and father of eight children. He had worked at the Center for 10 years. Abdullah is considered a hero for sacrificing his life to protect the children who were in the Center during the shooting. Fortunately, no child was injured.  

Workers World agrees with the assessment of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy groups in the U.S. In its statement, CAIR condemned the shooting, saying, “We are deeply disturbed, but not at all surprised, to learn that those who attacked the Islamic Center of San Diego were reportedly motivated by anti-Muslim hate.”

CAIR continued: “Hate against American Muslims is completely out of control. Numerous politicians have spent the past year claiming that all ‘mainstream Muslims’ should be destroyed, that American mosques and elementary schools should be shut down, and that American Muslims should be expelled from our nation. Just last week, House Republicans held a congressional hearing to fan the flames of hate against American Muslims, their houses of worship and even Muslim schoolchildren.

“A deadly attack on an American mosque was as predictable as it is unacceptable. Anti-Muslim hatred is one of the last acceptable forms of bigotry in American society, and it is long past time for the tolerance of this hate to end.” (cair.com, May 18)

On its website, the San Diego Islamic Center states that its mission is to “work with the larger community to serve the less fortunate, to educate, and to better our nation.” (icsd.org) The other two killed were Mansour Kaziha and Nader Awad. Like Abdullah, they are considered heroes. Two thousand people attended a May 21 memorial in San Diego for the three victims.

The real culprit – Islamophobia

The two teenagers may have pulled the triggers that tragically ended the lives of three people. However, this shooting did not happen in a vacuum. It occurred amid a wave of anti-Muslim hate, also called Islamophobia, driven by the U.S. imperialist ruling class, its politicians and corporate media, who target Islam as a religion and culture anchored mainly in the oppressed nations of the world. 

U.S.-based Islamophobia reached a fever pitch in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, (9/11), when the U.S. rulers scapegoated all Muslims for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Random individuals who wore traditional Muslim clothing were singled out for physical attacks, some resulting in loss of life.  

Reactionary laws, such as the U.S. PATRIOT (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) Act of 2001, were passed after 9/11 to falsely label Arab people and Muslims in general as “terrorists.” This was to justify the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and to allow the George W. Bush administration to either deport or imprison Muslim individuals.

One example is Aafia Siddiqui, who (along with her children) was kidnapped by the U.S. from Pakistan in 2003. She was sentenced to 86 years in prison by a U.S. federal court and has been held in a federal prison near Fort Worth, Texas, since 2010. 

Zionism is racism

On Oct. 7, 2023, organizations of the Palestinian Resistance rose against the Israeli occupation with the heroic Al-Aqsa Flood. When the Israeli Occupation Force responded with a genocidal war against the people of Gaza, a movement protesting this genocide developed around the world. 

In the United States, these protesters have been arrested by the authorities and demonized by the bourgeois media as “antisemitic.” The corporate media’s labeling of any pro-Palestine action as “antisemitic” adds fuel to the fire of Islamophobia and spurs acts of racism, such as what happened in San Diego. 

From 1975 until 1991, a symbolic vote took place annually in the United Nations General Assembly on the proposition that “Zionism is colonialism and racism.” A majority of countries, located mainly in the Global South, would vote “yes,” with the “no” votes always coming from the Zionist state of Israel, the U.S. and mostly other imperialist countries. The Palestinian Resistance has requested that the worldwide movement help resurrect “Zionism is racism” as a major slogan.

There are frequent public calls for an end to “anti-Jewish hate.” But the same cannot be said for calls to end anti-Arab or anti-Muslim hate. Such sympathy towards Muslims, which would be a welcome antidote to Islamophobia, fails to serve the geopolitical interests of U.S. imperialism and its pit bull ally, the decaying terrorist state of Israel
