Country Supports Genocide: A Heartbreaking Protest Story

The U.S. just stood alone, again, blocking peace. In a 14–1 vote, even allies like the UK backed a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and release of hostages. But the U.S., now under Trump’s handpicked envoy, vetoed it. Why? Because it didn’t condemn Hamas. This wasn’t a political statement, it was a desperate plea to stop the slaughter. Only an empire addicted to war votes against saving lives. | Medea Benjamin

As we hope there’s a real ceasefire, let’s stay clear-eyed. A pause in bombing isn’t justice, Not while the siege, apartheid, and impunity continue. We’ll keep organizing until there’s true freedom for Palestine and peace across the region. | Medea Benjamin

Today we asked U.S. Senators one simple question: What do you have to say about 14,000 children on the brink of starvation in Gaza? They dodged, they deflected, they hid behind staff. One even said, “I’m not sure what you’re talking about.” There’s been no humanitarian aid for 80 days. This is man-made famine, enforced by Israel, enabled by U.S. weapons, and ignored by the very people who could stop it. Silence is complicity. Shame on these Senators! | Medea Benjamin

A ceasefire means stop. Stop the bombs. Stop the starvation. Stop the siege. Israel has killed at least 80 Palestinians since the ceasefire began and blocked life-saving aid. So where are the world leaders who stood for photo ops in Sharm El-Sheikh? Hold Israel accountable. | Medea Benjamin

From calling for the bombing and starvation of Gaza, to smearing peace activists, to openly serving foreign lobby interests, we spent 2025 in the halls of Congress exposing exactly who our members of Congress represent (and it’s not the American people). This video is a highlight reel of that year: the moments they wish weren’t on camera. And in 2026? We’re coming back louder, sharper, and impossible to ignore. | Medea Benjamin

The so-called aid plan that we’re witnessing in Gaza is not meant to save lives, but to manage the optics of genocide. After months of blocking food, Israel and the U.S. offer scraps under armed surveillance, in militarized zones, and call it “relief.” They are forcing a starving population to choose between hunger and humiliation, between famine and gunfire. Humanitarian aid should never come at the barrel of a gun. It must be neutral, impartial, and unconditional. Anything else is a violation

A mother teaching her kids what real civics looks like. No president should be able to drag us into war, not in Venezuela, not in Palestine, not anywhere. For 60 days, the U.S. has carried out boat strikes near Venezuela without congressional approval. So she brought her children to Congress to remind lawmakers of their job: Keep executive power in check. Stop illegal wars. Represent the people. | Medea Benjamin

Nancy Mace dodges a simple question: Do you support the starvation of children in Gaza? Instead of showing concern for mass famine and genocide, she deflects, gaslights, and spews hate. You can’t hide behind “I love Jews” while justifying collective punishment. | Medea Benjamin

Yesterday, the world spoke loud and clear: 165 nations voted to end the U.S. blockade on Cuba. Only a handful: the U.S., Israel, and a few countries pressured or bought off, stood against humanity. After decades of economic strangulation and now a devastating hurricane, the Cuban people need solidarity, not sanctions. Join the call: Lift the blockade. | Medea Benjamin

On Christmas Day, while families gathered for peace and goodwill, the U.S. was dropping bombs. Without congressional approval, without public debate, the Trump administration launched airstrikes in northwest Nigeria dragging the U.S. into yet another conflict that poses no threat to the American people. Bombs don’t bring peace. They deepen suffering, fuel chaos, and repeat the same deadly pattern we’ve seen for decades. This holiday season, let’s tell our government: Stop the killing. | Medea Be

The U.S. says it’s worried about “aid diversion” but the real threat to aid integrity isn’t Hamas. It’s the Israeli blockade, which has created artificial scarcity, black markets, and mass desperation. Now they want to send $500 million to a shady new group. Not to feed Gaza, but to control it. The so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation isn’t humanitarian at all. It’s political theater backed by the same people starving and bombing Palestinians. Say NO to fake aid. Say YES to justice.

Israel’s recognition of Somaliland undermines Somalia’s sovereignty, escalates tensions in the Horn of Africa, and opens the door to using African land for war and for the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza. This is illegal. It’s destabilizing. And the world must condemn it. | Medea Benjamin

2,000 people ran through DC to say: WE SEE THE GENOCIDE. WE WON’T BE SILENT. While the U.S. funds bombs and defunds mental health care in Gaza, our communities are stepping up. This 5K is a run for life in the face of mass slaughter. It’s a rejection of U.S. complicity and Israeli apartheid. We’re running for the thousands of Palestinian children buried under rubble. We’re running to break the silence, expose the lies, and build a boycott movement big enough to bring this genocide to its knees.

WATCH: Activists with CODEPINK and the Mask off Maersk confronted Yossi Sheffi, former Israeli Air Force pilot and head of the MAERSK-backed center at MIT, as he testified before Congress. His center helps MAERSK grow its weapons logistics empire under the cover of “research and innovation.” When asked to cut ties with MAERSK, he proudly defended his role in the genocide of Palestinians. Then he claimed that activists with keffiyehs were "attacking him", just for asking him to stop aiding a geno

Members of Congress like Sen. Cramer are making things up to justify their support for the US-Israeli war on Iran. Iran did not provoke these attacks — Israel started bombing first. Iran did not break the nuclear deal — the US did. Iran isn’t hiding nuclear weapons — Israel is. The American people aren’t falling for another disastrous war in the Middle East. | Medea Benjamin
