Jacksonville, FL – On Saturday, June 28, over 100 community members gathered at Memorial Park to protest the US’s attacks on Iran. The rally, organized by the Jacksonville Palestine Solidarity Network (JPSN), went mobile as the demonstrators marched through the Riverside area, and near the very populated Riverside Arts Market.

Los recientes ataques con misiles de Israel contra Irán han matado a más de 200 iraníes en una semana. Irán se ha defendido legítimamente, como lo haría cualquier nación soberana, y ha contraatacado con precisión, lanzando misiles a través del “colador de hierro” de Israel.

Hace 50 años, en el 30 de abril, las puertas del Palacio Presidencial en Saigón fueron destrozadas por un tanque—un tanque manejado por un luchador por un Vietnam unificado e independiente. La bandera del régimen títere respaldado por Estados Unidos cayó, y en su lugar se alzó la bandera del Frente de Liberación Nacional.

Israel’s recent missile strikes on Iran have killed over 200 Iranians in one week. Iran has rightfully defended itself, as any sovereign nation would, and has struck back with precision, raining missiles through Israel’s ‘Iron Colander’.

“It is Marcos, Brawner, and Gilbert Teodoro’s fault why the Philippines is considered a ‘U.S. proxy’ in the ASEAN region,” Marco Valbuena, chief information officer of the Communist Party of the Philippines said. “They act as U.S. puppets, beg for arms and aid from its government, and serve as the number one implementors of the U.S. policy in the region.”

On June 3, the Communist Party of the Philippines condemned the acquittal by the Special General Court Martial (SGCM) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) of Jesus Durante III, former brigade commander of the 1001st Brigade and commander of the Presidential Security Group, who was accused as the mastermind in the killing of Yvonne Chua Plaza.

Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The English translation appeared on the Resistance News Network on Telegram.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms that the occupation’s announcement of opening “humanitarian aid-distribution centers” in various areas of the Gaza Strip—run directly by the Zionist occupier and financed and sponsored by the United States—amounts to setting up collective death traps. These sites serve as arrest points and instruments for entrenching racist policies, marketed under a “humanitarian” veneer while actually forming part of the genocidal war and Holocaust being waged against our people. They come amid a continuing siege and extermination campaign that targets civilians—especially children, women, and the elderly—and function as one of the occupation’s displacement schemes.

San Jose, CA – On May 17, around 150 people gathered in James P. McEntee Plaza in San Jose to celebrate Palestinian Cultural Day. This was the 24th year that Santa Clara County has held the event, which is sponsored by the county supervisors and the Palestinian Heritage Committee. The celebration honors the local Palestinian community and its contributions to the county’s civic life, and the historical and cultural contributions of Palestinians.

New York, NY – On May 15, over 500 New Yorkers rallied at the Nakba Day protest called by Within Our Lifetime.

Nakba Day commemorates the victims of the Palestinian Nakba in 1948, during which Israeli settler militias ethnically cleansed over 750,000 Palestinians from their homelands, depopulating 531 villages, and massacring over 15,000 Palestinians to establish the state of Israel.

May 14 marks 77 years since Al-Nakba, or as it's known by Palestinians, the Catastrophe. Beginning on May 14, 1948, over 750,000 Palestinians were forced off their land by Israeli settlers in a matter of months, with the indispensable help of the British. No inch of land was ceded without massacres.

Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement of the ILPS on the commemoration of the Nakba.

The International League of Peoples’ Struggle joins Palestinians all over the world in commemorating the 1948 Nakba, or catastrophe, which dispossessed, displaced, and murdered hundreds of thousands of people in the name of an imperialist and Zionist project—the manufacture of “Israel “as a “Jewish State” in Palestine in order to establish a Western imperialist outpost in West Asia and North Africa.

New Delhi, India – On May 10, the governments of India and Pakistan negotiated a full ceasefire. It was brokered by the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who pressured for the retaliatory actions to end while securing a victory for U.S. imperialism.

On March 14th, Republican U.S. Rep. Riley Moore, along with other Republican co-sponsors, introduced a draconian bill to the House Committee on the Judiciary titled the Stop CCP VISAs Act of 2025, which stands for “Stop Chinese Communist Prying by Vindicating Intellectual Safeguards in Academia Act of 2025.”

Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement from Elias Dipasupil, Secretary General of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines.

This Labor Day, the longstanding demands of the working class for better wages and working conditions, embodied in the clamor for a national living wage, reflect the urgency and necessity of the people’s democratic revolution in the face of the anti-people neoliberal policies of the US-Marcos regime.

50 years ago, on April 30, the gates of the Presidential Palace in Saigon were broken by a tank—a tank driven by a fighter for a unified and independent Vietnam. The flag of the U.S.-backed puppet regime came down, and the flag of the National Liberation Front replaced it.

Saigon, the capital of French colonialism, and then American imperialism, was no more. Saigon became Ho Chi Minh City—named for the communist leader who stood at the forefront of Vietnam’s fight for national liberation.

New York, NY – Dozens gathered, Monday, April 21, in Manhattan’s Foley Square to protest the 40th and largest-ever Balikatan, or “shoulder-to-shoulder,” joint military exercises between U.S. and Philippine troops.

Fight Back New Service is circulating the following statement from Elias Dipasupil, Secretary General of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines.

The national democratic revolutionary movement is not only preparing for war, we are waging a revolutionary war in the interest of the Filipino people. We have been waging this for democracy and national liberation since 1969, and the reactionary government has been using all its military might against the people’s war these past decades.
