After 171 days of genocide and ethnic cleaning in Gaza, the United Nations Security Council finally adopted Resolution 2728 (2024) - demanding an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan, leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire.  I’m afraid I couldn’t celebrate the news with much enthusiasm, simply because Israel is already contravening over 30 UN Security Council resolutions dating back to 1968. Also, since the creation of the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2006, it has resolved almost as many resolutions condemning Israel alone than on issues for the rest of the world ..read more

The problem with Thatcherism is you eventually run out of coal mines to close, trains to privatise, industries to destroy, wars to start, and social fabrics to rip into tiny little confetti sized pieces.  You see, while Labour sickeningly eulogises about the divisive and still dead former Prime Minister, quite a few of us remember the crimes of Margaret Thatcher.  The Labour Party has been a safe haven for the Thatcherite Tories for some time now. Labour is a centre-right entity and “socialism” is a dirty word once more. The Tory voters will support Starmer’s Labour because it has ..read more

January 17th 2019. That was the very last time I sat down to watch an episode of BBC Question Time.  It was being hosted by Fiona Bruce in the city of Derby and members of the panel included Rory Stewart, extremist hack Isabel Oakeshott, and the former shadow Home Secretary, Diane Abbott.  Bruce, who even 5 years ago was earning £400,000 a year for fronting the show, made some rude comments regarding Diane Abbott before the show went on air.  Apparently it was normal for the host to “warm up the crowd”, but the BBC and Bruce went on to apologise for what they called “light-h ..read more

Some 5 months have passed since the Israeli genocide of Gaza began. 103,000 civilians are either dead or injured with thousands more permanently buried beneath the rubble of a place they once called home. We are now at the “we told you so” stage of Israel’s massacre of the Palestinian people.  We told you this was never about self-defence and we told you Zionism is a dangerous, extreme and fundamentally racist ideology. We told you Israel planned to exterminate the Palestinian people and we told you they would do this to build thousands of new homes for illegal settlers. Just this Wed ..read more

Facts:  "Starvation is being used as a weapon of war against Palestinians living in Gaza. Virtually no aid is getting into Gaza, and whatever aid Israel might allow to trickle in is insufficient and cannot be safely distributed to civilians who are being forced to run for their lives.”   "Denying civilians sufficient food, as well as water, fuel and critical humanitarian aid is a serious violation of international law, and collective punishment. It may also meet the threshold for the crime against humanity." — Sally Abi Khalil, Oxfam International’s Regional Director in the Middle ..read more

“A quarter of a century on from the Oslo Accords, we are no closer to justice or peace and the Palestinian tragedy continues, while the outside world stands by.” “And in order to help make that two-state settlement a reality we will recognize a Palestinian state as soon as we take office,” Jeremy Corbyn, September 2018.   "A siege is appropriate? Cutting off power? Cutting off water?"   "I think that Israel does have that right"  Keir Starmer to Nick Ferrari, October 2023.  From champions of global peace to encouraging war crimes and taking policy direction ..read more

I’m not entirely sure who needs to hear this, but Zionism is a genocidal cult. I say I’m not “entirely sure” who needs to hear Zionism is a genocidal cult, because you would have to be a Western white supremacist or wilfully ignorant in failing to notice this once-controversial but now entirely indisputable and demonstrable fact.  Call me an antisemite if it helps ease your baby killing conscience. That’s so 2016. Been there, done that, got the exclusive Jeremy Corbyn t-shirt and gifted it to my dearest friend.  Silly me. What conscience? You deranged fascist fruitcakes wouldn’t ..read more

“The calls for support are not for abstract words of diplomatic solidarity, but for urgent action that helps us feel human in the eyes of the world.” Mohammed R Mhawish is a Palestinian writer and journalist, based in Gaza City. Q. What does Sky, Channel 4 and the FT have in common?  A. They have all had the temerity to pull apart Israel’s ‘evidence’ that claimed UNRWA is some sort of a Hamas-front, rather than the largest distributor of vital lifesaving aid, slap bang in the middle of the world’s most devastating humanitarian disaster. “The Israeli intelligence documents make severa ..read more

The weaponisation of Unrwa funding for political motives seems to be a new low for the West, showing that there is no limit to their moral depravity.  Israel has long despised the Unrwa. Why? Because they are the only UN agency that provides a lifeline for some 6 million Palestinians, which includes a besieged refugee population of over 2 million in Gaza currently facing a genocide It is no coincidence that the defunding of Unrwa came swiftly after the International Court of Justice had issued its interim ruling recognising that the risk of genocide by the state of Israel was plausible ..read more
