Detained Handala aid ship activists launch hunger strike: Reports
More than a dozen international activists detained by 'Israel' after their aid boat Handala was intercepted en route to Gaza have launched a hunger strike to protest what they describe as forced and unlawful detention, according to legal aid group Adalah. The 21 activists on board the Handala, part of the Freedom Flotilla aimed at breaking the blockade on Gaza, included nationals from ten countries, among them two French lawmakers, two Al Jazeera journalists, and several humanitarian volunteers. The 'Israeli' navy intercepted the boat in international waters and forcibly brought all passengers into 'Israel,' Adalah said. So far, five passengers have agreed to expedited deportation, while 14 others refused and were brought before the immigration tribunal at Givon Prison in Ramle on Monday. The hearings ended with the tribunal upholding their continued detention. The activists, represented by Adalah, reiterated during the session that their mission was purely humanitarian, aimed at opposing the ongoing siege of Gaza and the alleged genocide against Palestinians. Among the 14 who appeared in court were Americans Brandon Belloso and Christian Smalls; Australians Tania Safi and Robert Martin; French nationals Justine Kempf and Emma Forro (also holding Swedish citizenship); Italian Antonio La Picerella; British-French citizen Chloe Fiona Louden; Spaniards Sergio Toribio Sanchez and Santiago Gonzalez Vallejo; Norwegian Vigdis Bjorvand; and Tunisian Hatem Al-Ouini. Adalah noted that most of them are engaged in an open-ended hunger strike. Their lawyers reported that while their health remains relatively stable, concerns are growing over the legality and conditions of their detention. One US activist reportedly suffered 'severe physical violence' at the hands of 'Israeli' forces, while others have described poor detention conditions. ''Israel' is treating these activists as if they had illegally entered the country,' Adalah said. 'But they were forcibly taken from international waters. Under Israeli law, they were given two options: accept voluntary deportation or appear before a judge to determine whether they will remain detained until deportation is finalized.' The legal group further criticized the immigration proceedings at Givon, stating they give 'Israeli' authorities wide discretion to prolong detentions even without a substantial legal basis. Similar cases occurred with activists on the Maddeline, another flotilla ship seized by 'Israel' on June 9. According to Adalah, at least one of the French lawmakers, the two journalists, and two other passengers have since been deported. Two dual 'Israeli'-American nationals were reportedly released after interrogation. The flotilla's mission—led by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition—has seen four of its boats seized by 'Israel' in recent months, with Handala being the latest. The activists maintain that their efforts are part of a global nonviolent campaign to end the siege on Gaza and draw attention to the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding there.

'I'm afraid to go home': Website exposes Canadians serving in 'Israeli' military
A website, has ignited a heated controversy in Canada by compiling and publishing publicly available information on Canadians who have served in the 'Israeli' military. This project defines 'Canadian' as someone who is a Canadian citizen, and/or has lived in Canada for a significant amount of time, and/or currently lives in Canada. Launched on February 24, 2024, by The Maple, an online publication with a pro-Palestinian and anti-'Israel' stance, the site claims its purpose is to help readers understand the motivations of Canadians joining the 'Israeli' military by aggregating details from public sources . Davide Mastracci, The Maple's opinion editor, has publicly accused 'Israel' of planned genocide in Gaza. However, the initiative has been met with strong accusations of "doxxing" from those listed and their families, who view the compilation as an act of intimidation. Globally, there's a growing trend of legal complaints targeting 'Israeli' soldiers based heavily on open-source material, leading the 'Israeli' military to reportedly no longer allow soldiers to be identified by name. Legal Ambiguity of "Doxxing" A key point of contention is Canada's legal landscape. "Doxxing" itself is not a defined criminal offense in Canada . While the act of publishing private information for harassment is widely condemned, legal experts note that proving intent to harm is an "uphill battle" for potential lawsuits. Mastracci asserts that every profile is "based entirely on public information gathered through simple Google searches from news articles, social media profiles, newsletters, websites, public directories and other sources," with each claim hyperlinked to its original public source. He emphasizes that the information's origin lies with the soldiers themselves, their family members, or media outlets where they "willingly shared their status as a soldier". The project, he suggests, implicitly challenges why such information was made public in the first place. "I'm afraid to go home" "I'm afraid to go home," one Canadian reservist expressed, while another, Nati Hubberman, a dual Canadian-'Israeli' citizen, recounted asking, "Is it safe for me to fly to Canada?" after seeing his name on the site, in statements made to 'The Times of Israel'. Canadians in Foreign Militaries and RCMP Scrutiny Serving in foreign militaries, including the 'Israeli' military, is generally legal for Canadian citizens. The 1937 Foreign Enlistment Act primarily prohibits recruitment within Canada, not service abroad . The RCMP previously closed an investigation into alleged illegal 'Israeli' recruitment in Canada without charges in June 2023 . However, a separate, ongoing RCMP probe into "core international crimes" related to the 'Israeli' aggression on Gaza, launched in early 2024, has added a new layer of anxiety. While not a criminal investigation at this stage, the RCMP is collecting information and has not ruled out future prosecution if a perpetrator with a "nexus to Canada" is identified.

Iran reportedly detains two Jewish American citizens on espionage charges
Two American citizens are among at least 35 Jews reportedly detained in Iran on suspicion of spying for 'Israel' following the 12-day war last month, according to a report by the 'Israeli' Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan). One of the American nationals has been released on bail in recent days, while the other remains imprisoned. Kan identified the released American as a Jewish person of Iranian ancestry from Los Angeles. The other American reportedly left Iran for New York three decades ago. Both individuals were in Iran to visit relatives when they were apprehended. An unidentified source involved in efforts to secure their release commented that "the two Americans arrived in the wrong place at the wrong time." In a related development, Iranian authorities recently released 11 members of the Jewish community who were also accused of spying for 'Israel'.
