Americana Restaurants, West Asia's largest fast-food operator, reported a 48.2 percent decline in profits on 31 October, as consumers boycott US and Israel-linked brands in response to the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
Americana Restaurants is West Asia's franchisee for major US food outlets that include KFC, Pizza Hut, Baskin Robbins, Costa Coffee, and Krispy Kreme.
Mcdonald's has also been a target of the boycott campaign.

Residents of refugee camps in the occupied West Bank said Israel’s move to terminate the activities of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) is intended to end their right to return to their lands.
The Knesset passed a bill Monday banning UNRWA from operating, which would eventually affect its work in the Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The legislation will take effect in 90 days.

The UK has “not ruled out” implementing further measures against Israel, said the UK’s permanent representative to the UN on Friday.
“When we put the export bans in place, on the 30 (arms export licenses) that we have, I think there’s about 350 altogether, that any further measures would be up for consideration,” Ambassador Barbara Woodward told the reporters when asked if the UK might extend arms export license suspensions to Israel.

Code Pink, a feminist grassroots organisation, called on Trader Joe’s this week to stop selling Israeli products, accusing the grocery chain of supporting “a system that perpetuates suffering” by stocking goods from Israel.
In a petition posted on their website, Code Pink demands that Trader Joe’s “stop selling Israeli products until Israel respects international law and human rights for Palestinians”.

During the last ten days of October, the Israeli army disrupted all humanitarian services in the northern Gaza Strip, starting with an effort to empty all of the hospitals in the area.
Kamal Adwan Hospital now has only one doctor left and about 120 patients in need of treatment.
The army also bombed ambulances and Civil Defense vehicles, including the only working fire engine left in north Gaza.

First of all "brotha", you're white, second you know nothing about the oil industry. I notice the most ruffled feathers from the haters when I report the news on your side admitting flaws. You must prefer the media that is aimed at really, really ignorant people who only comprehend the most childish narrative.

Agroup of five House Democrats has warned the White House that the executive branch is violating U.S. law in deploying U.S. troops to back Israel’s escalating violence in the Middle East, issuing a stark admonition to the Biden administration as experts say it is purposefully ignoring domestic law to support Israel’s aggression.
Therefore, these actions go against the Constitution and War Powers Resolution of 1973, the letter says.

In California’s 34th District, antiwar advocate David Kim has come close to unseating Rep. Jimmy Gomez twice. Now AIPAC is attacking Kim, and a crypto PAC is joining them.
In July of 2023, just five days after he launched his third consecutive campaign for Congress in California's 34th congressional district, David Kim got a request he wasn’t prepared for.
AIPAC wanted to meet. The organization had sent the message through a trusted emissary.

“The National Archives museum, under Biden-appointed U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan, has been working to reshape its narrative of American history in order to make white conservatives more comfortable … The museum has removed references to Martin Luther King Jr., Japanese internment, Native Americans, union organizers, and birth control … A photo of King was replaced with one of Richard Nixon meeting Elvis Presley.”
