MintPress News is an independent watchdog journalism organization that provides issue-based original reporting, in-depth investigations, and thoughtful analysis of the most pressing topics facing our nation. We focus our coverage on issues relating to the effects of special interest groups, big business and lobbying efforts and how they shape policies at home and abroad, inclu

ding American foreign policy. Through the lens of social justice and human rights, we report on how these dynamics drive our foreign affairs and impact the world, and examine the effects they have on our democracy and freedoms as defined by the constitution. Journalism, as defined by the first amendment, plays the role of watchdog over the government. This is what inspires our style of reporting at MintPress News. We are a for profit organization. Our goal is to be funded through advertising, syndication, and other traditional funding sources. Because we strongly believe in citizen driven journalism, we accept online donations.

Stop The Hate UK, an Israel-aligned pressure group, has been targeting MintPress News graphic designer and field photographer, Ibrahim Abul-Essad, attempting to have him prosecuted under the Terrorism Act for attending a peaceful protest against Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert.

Stop the Hate UK were co-founded by two Israelis, Itai Galmudy and Yochy Davis. Galmudy is a former IDF soldier who participated in Operation protective Edge, Israel’s 2014 bombardment of Gaza. Davis previously worked with the group, “My Truth”, an organization that sends Israeli soldiers on PR trips in order to improve the military’s image around the world. Stop the Hate UK is closely aligned with the Israeli government, who have endorsed its practices of interrupting pro-Palestine protests and surveiling demonstrators.

Galmudy and Davis traveled to the occupied Golan Heights this year, where they were filmed liaising with IDF troops.

How is it that such a controversial pro-Israel group can pressure UK authorities to arrest and imprison a journalist. And who gets to decide who and who is not a terrorist: British citizens or pressure groups allied to a foreign nation carrying out a genocide?

The UK government is currently facing mounting pressure from human rights advocates and the parents of Jack Letts to repatriate him and other British nationals detained in camps and prisons in northeast Syria. 

Letts, who travelled to Syria in 2014 and was captured by Kurdish forces in 2017 after leaving Islamic State (IS) territory, has been held without charge for over eight years.

Jack Letts’ parents, John Letts and Sally Lane, protested outside the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office in London on December 11, 2025, demanding the government outline a plan for their son’s return. They argue he needs basic human rights, medical help, and a chance to face justice in a UK court.
Organisations like Liberty and Human Rights Watch argue that indefinitely detaining individuals without charge or trial violates international law and that the UK should take responsibility for its nationals.

Hamas has rejected a new Amnesty International report that for the first time explicitly accused the movement and other Palestinian armed groups of committing crimes against humanity during and after the October 7, 2023 operation.

Hamas issued a statement on Thursday, December 11, 2025, calling the report “flawed and unprofessional” and demanding its retraction.

Amnesty International’s report, titled “Targeting Civilians: Murder, Hostage-taking and Other Violations by Palestinian Armed Groups in Israel and Gaza,” concluded that the actions of Hamas and other groups on and after October 7 constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity, based on evidence including interviews and forensic analysis. Amnesty International called for Hamas to acknowledge violations, investigate crimes, and release the last remaining hostage’s body.

A segment on the Israeli right-wing Channel 14 openly celebrated the severe winter storm and flooding hitting Gaza, with a TV personality and weather expert expressing hope that the area would “drown” and showing indifference to the survival of its people. 

Host Shimon Riklin and weather forecaster Tzahi Peleg reacted enthusiastically to a weather report predicting heavy rainfall and flooding in Gaza.

Peleg stated that the storm would “drown Gaza”. Riklin was visibly happy with the forecast, and one participant reportedly added they wouldn’t mind if “no people” survived the flooding.

The comments were made as thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza, already suffering from an ongoing humanitarian crisis, struggled with torrential rain and flooding in their makeshift tents and shelters, which are not built to withstand winter conditions. An eight-month-old baby was reported to have died from exposure to the cold and rain in a flooded tent.

He was injured in an accident while observing Ukrainian forces test a new defensive weapon and died later of his wounds. The incident was not a result of hostile fire.
