"Dear ,
For two and a half years, Palestinians like me have lived and worked through genocide, forced displacement and relentless emergencies without pause. We MAP staff have stood side by side with our communities and done everything we can to support people, while facing the same personal traumas as our patients.
...
Please consider giving a gift today to support MAP’s work across the occupied Palestinian territory and Lebanon.
MAP’s Solidarity Polyclinic in Gaza served 77,000 patients last year with treatments like urgent wound care and vital nutrition support.
It’s also where I met sixteen-year-old Maher*.His family has been displaced from their home since the bombardment started in October 2023. During the worst food shortages last year, Maher and his brother, Nasser*, were in the streets, desperately searching for food.“There were a lot of people, and everyone was starving,” Maher told me. “Suddenly, the Israeli army started shooting. I don’t remember much, only that I fell to the ground and felt severe pain.”Nasser carried his injured brother on his shoulder through the terrified crowds, to the Shifa Hospital, finding it “overcrowded with wounded people.” He told us, “That day felt like a massacre.”After initial treatment, Maher was sent home. There were no medical supplies and he was in unbearable pain. Then, unimaginably, the family were forced to flee south as attacks on Gaza City intensified. But when they arrived in Deir al-Balah, they were told about the Solidarity Polyclinic. It was the first step to real recovery.
The Polyclinic is serving an average of 500 patients like Maher every day at a time when there are no fully functioning hospitals in Gaza. Please give today so more Palestinians can recover from their injuries.

London councillors must support the call to council pension funds to divest from companies supporting Israeli genocide and apartheid
18 Feb 2026
Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) asked me to write to my local councillors instructing them to sign a divestment letter (see it below). I wrote to them as requested by PSC and I also sent a personal email to the councillors on 18 Feb 2026 and cc'd PSC highlighting that they must sign by 28 Feb 2026. I will diarise to remind them on 26 Feb to sign and will then check they did sign or that they did not.
PSC said in their email to me:
"This is a vital moment in our divestment campaigning in London, and we need to increase the pressure now. As a result of our campaigning, London CIV, the body which manages the investments of London councils’ pension funds, is setting up a new responsible investment system.
It’s vital that this new system allows councils to choose an investment option that excludes all companies enabling Israel’s genocide and apartheid against Palestinians.
We must apply pressure now to ensure this happens.
London CIV is creating a new responsible investment matrix with three investment options for councils, called ‘pillars’. Each pillar will have a different set of exclusion criteria.
It’s vital that this matrix provides an investment option that excludes all companies enabling Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians, on the basis of overwhelming evidence showing that such atrocities have met the high threshold set by international law of grave human rights violations. This must be a first step towards excluding these companies across its entire portfolio.
Help us demonstrate the strength of support for divestment across London to help secure a major step forward in our divestment campaigning.
At the moment, it’s thought that the most robust option will fall short by only excluding a subset of companies involved in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. For example, it may not exclude all companies supplying Israel with weapons and military technology, or contributing to Israel’s infrastructure of illegal military occupation.
We are therefore calling on London CIV to provide an investment option that excludes all companies identified by credible research organisations, such as the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and WhoProfits, as complicit in Israel’s grave violations of international law.
Write to your local councillors.
There is a groundswell of support among both pension fund members and residents for divestment from companies enabling Israel’s crimes.
Eight councils in London have now passed a motion or issued a statement to support ending investments in companies involved in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. As Israel continues its genocide in Gaza, and escalates its military assaults, land grabs and ethnic cleansing across Palestine, it’s crucial that these calls are heeded, and that divestment from companies enabling grave human rights abuses is implemented.
Take action today by writing to your local councillors and help to secure a major step forward in our campaigning.

Erasing a Word Erases a People: Reinstate Palestine in the British Museum
17 Feb 2026
There is no respite from the disgusting tactics used by the pro-Israeli lobby. Not satisfied with buying the media and politicians, they also resort to pressuring organisations to change (erase) Palestinian history.
I stumbled across these two videos today (here and here), both from TRT World, about the pro-Israeli lobby succeeding in getting the British Museum to remove references to 'Ancient Palestine' from an exhibition.
In effect this change is to erase Palestinian history, and the change is a false and inaccurate representation of history according to at least one scholar. An article about the change can be read here. The article mentions a wider campaign to erase Palestinians and their history: "900 incidents of anti-Palestinian repressions across the U.K. between January 2019 and August 2025." It exposes how virulent and widespread and organised the pro-Israeli lobby is.
Change.org has a petition on this matter and it has had almost 14000 signatures, over 6000 just today, including mine. I also added a comment:
"There must be an independent and thorough investigation to determine how and why this change came about. A panel of truly independent scholars should decide on terminology and until that decision, the change must be reversed immediately."
The petition says:
"Erasing a Word Erases a People: Reinstate Palestine in the British Museum
The British Museum has recently removed the word “Palestine” from several displays in its Ancient Middle East galleries, claiming the term is “anachronistic.” This decision is not supported by historical evidence and contributes to a wider pattern of erasing Palestinian presence from public memory.
The term Palestine has been used for over two millennia. It appears in:
Herodotus (5th century BCE) as Palaistinê
Roman administrative records as Syria Palaestina (135 CE)
Byzantine, early Islamic, Crusader, and Ottoman sources
European maps from the medieval period through the 19th century
Shakespeare’s Othello — a cornerstone of British cultural heritage
If the term is acceptable in Shakespeare, it should not be erased from a national museum.
If the British Museum is genuinely concerned about modern etymology, then consistency would require similar scrutiny of terms such as “Britain”, which is itself a relatively modern political construct. Yet “Britain” remains unchallenged in the museum’s own galleries.
This selective removal suggests inconsistency in curatorial standards and raises concerns about political pressure influencing historical presentation.
We call on the British Museum to:
1) Restore the term “Palestine” to all relevant displays.2) Provide transparency regarding the decision-making process.3) Ensure that curatorial choices reflect historical accuracy, not political pressure.4) Uphold its responsibility as a publicly funded institution to present history with integrity.
Erasing a word erases a people. History includes Palestine — and the British Museum must reflect that truth."

Australian politicians and media support genocidal Israeli regime and pro-Israel lobby, and police thugs violently attack peaceful Australian protestors
17 Feb 2026
Antony Loewenstein is based in Australia. I came across his video about the visit to Australia by Herzog of Israel. The visit was branded by the media as an expression of comfort and sympathy by Herzog and Israel for the victims of the attack in Dec or a show of support for the Jews in Australia.
Many Australians defied media or political calls that Australians do not come out and protest against the visit by Herzog. The police behaved as thugs - excessive and unnecessary use of force against peaceful protestors. Loewenstein also showed a clip of police attacking and removing muslims who were praying. He says it would have been unlikely the police would have reacted if instead Jews had been praying.
One politician suggested the muslims were provoking the police. He did not explian why a group of people praying would provoke police into violently attacking them. Another politician, instead of condemning police violence, applauded them - which echoes the responses of the politicians in the US about ICE and CBP thugs who also violently attack civilians unnecessarily.
Loewenstein reminded viewers (with a clip) of Herzog and his comments that incited genocide in Gaza -his support for collective punishment of Palestinians and he was seen photographing a bomb destined for Gaza. He is a representative of the genocidal Israelis and his presence was bound to create a backlash by Australians who oppose inhumanity.
Herzog spewed his propaganda, claiming Australians had been brainwashed. Loewenstein spoke at one of the marches and refuted Herzog's "brainwashing" lie simply by mentioning the livestreamed and irrefutable genocide and starvation being perpetrated by the Israelis.
As with the mianstream media in Europe and the US, the mainstream media in Australia has been pro-Israel and has shut out virtually all Palestinian voices. The Australian politicians, just as in the UK, Europe and in the US, have sided whole-heartedly with the pro-Israelis. "Arabs and Palestinians are invisibilized" in Australia, said Lowenstein, even though the population in Australia of muslims is about 10x that of jews. The mainstream media, almost totally, excludes the voice of Palestinians - they have been ignored. The Australian mainstream media did not bother to ask what Herzog stands for. "He is mainstream in Israel but I would frame him as an extremist" said Loewenstein of Herzog.
Loewenstein made the good point about the hypocrisy of the Aussie PM who called on Australians to calm down - yet the PM invites an incendiary figure, Herzog to Australia, a person who has incited genocide and has extremist and depraved views about Palestinians. The PM has the gall to tell reasonable and decent people who oppose inhumanity, to calm down.
Loewenstein noted that the PM MANY years ago was pro-Palestinian, but no longer. He is a lackey of the US and the Israelis, like so many politicians of European descent.
The majority of Israelis support starving Palestinians in Gaza and expelling Palestinians, according to a poll, said Lowenstein. A tiny minority of Israelis have a feeling of humanity for Palestinians.
Loewenstein asked the question that many Australians have also asked: why did the Australian government bow to the pro-Israeli lobby and allow Herzog to visit? Lowenstein said the reason was given by Herzog for his visit - to reset the relationship between Australia and Israel. Lowenstein adds that the Israelis see Australia as a "doormat" and the PM is out of his depth on global affairs and so he is incompetent.

Israelis accelerate their theft of West Bank land - UK government must sanction them
17 Feb 2026
Palestine Solidarity Campaign sent an email asking me to sign and send their letter demanding that Cooper act to end Israeli violations of international law (see actions below). The full letter to Cooper may be read here.
The British government must fulfil its obligations to end these violations of international law by:
"Netanyahu’s government backed a proposal from far-right ministers to reinstate a deeply discriminatory land registration process in the West Bank - a mechanism historically used to dispossess Palestinians of their land. Under this system, Palestinians will be forced to “prove” ownership through complex and often impossible legal hurdles, while illegal Israeli settlements continue to expand.
These steps further entrench Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid system, paving the way for large-scale land seizures and settlement expansion.
In July 2024 the International Court of Justice ruled Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory to be illegal, found Israel to be guilty of the crime of apartheid, and called on all states to take measures to bring an end to these grave violations of international law. A year and a half later, the British government has shamefully still not responded to this landmark ruling.", said PSC

The British government must fulfil its obligations to end these violations of international law by:
- Imposing a full two-way arms embargo on Israel.
- Introducing immediate and wide-ranging sanctions, including banning any trade and financial relations that support Israel’s illegal activities, and implementing travel bans and asset freezes against Israeli government ministers — including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — who bear responsibility for these policies.
- Urging the immediate release of all Palestinians held illegally in Israeli detention, including but not limited to those held under administrative detention without charge or trial, and demanding independent international monitoring of detention conditions.
- Supporting Palestinian human rights organisations in their efforts to document violations and ensure that Palestinian victims of torture and other abuse can safely submit evidence to the International Criminal Court and other relevant international mechanisms, without intimidation or retaliation.

Albanese smeared in maliciously edited version of her speech
16 Feb 2026
Novara Media published a video of a speech by Albanese that made it appear she was describing Israel as the enemy of humanity. That description upset a handful of EU leaders and they called for her resignation. Most withdrew that demand after they realised her comments had been edited (doctored maliciously) and after Albanese had explained what she actually said. Shamefully, France and Germany continued to call for her resignation.
My take is that her comments were reasonable and true, even the edited version. It is clear that the Israelis' genocide and ethnic cleansing shows they have behaved with inhumanity and barbarity, and for that they are enemies of humanity.
Albanese's full speech shows that, according to her, the enemy of humanity is the system of enablers that enables the Israelis to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing and those who control that system to profit and benefit from such atrocities. Albanese was referring to those companies and people that control the capital, the algorithms, and the weapons. Israel is at the center of that system and so it is one of the enemies of humanity.
Albanese, to here shame, denied in her subsequent explanation that she was referring to Israel as the enemy of humanity, even though it is obvious that the Israelis are at the centre of that inhumane system.
Who edited and manipulated her speech? It was Human Rights Watch.
Novara Media noted that Trump had sued the BBC for a similar misrepresentation of what was actually said or done, so perhaps Albanese can sue HRW for similar foul play.

A list of pro-Israel companies around the globe
16 Feb 2026
I was looking into whether the company Experian is a pro-Israel supporter. In my research I came across a list of "names of companies that have publicly supported Israel and/or condemned Hamas’ attack in Oct 2023. It also has links to the companies' official press releases. ".
This list is compiled by considering how companies reacted to the 'Hamas attack of Oct 2023'. It's important to consider the history and context of that attack and who is responsible for the many civilians who died in it. Were the Israelis or the Palestinians responsible for those civilian deaths?
The loss of civilian life anywhere is unacceptable. That aside, it is important to consider the attack as a breakout from an open-air prison (a concentration camp). Further, armed resistance is allowed under international law.

Two-faced Wes Streeting privately admits "Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes"
16 Feb 2026
Middle East Eye (MEE) published a piece on 09 Feb 2026 about Wes Streeting
He is a pro-Israel supporter and has endorsed lawfare campaigns by pro-Israel fanatics that seek to destroy pro-Palestinian supporters' careers in the NHS by revoking their medical licences. His private messages to and from disgraced politician, Mandelson, reveal he is two-faced, privately admitting the Israelis' war crimes but refusing to say so in public.
He says in his private messages to Mandelson: "...Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes. Their government talks the language of ethnic cleansing, and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children.", and "This [Israel's] is rogue state behaviour. Let them pay the price as pariahs with sanctions applied to the state, not just a few [Israeli] ministers."
Publicly, Streeting has not urged sanctions on Israel nor has he accused it of committing war crimes, wrote MEE on 09 Feb 2026.
Streeting deliberately released his private correspondence, in an attempt to win support for becoming the leader of the Labour party. Had he any shred of decency and empathy for Palestinians, he'd have spoken out publicly against Israel but as he admitted: " he has "never been a shrinking violent (violet) on Israel". He said he had supported the pro-Israel lobbying group, Labour Friends of Israel, "for over 20 years". It is clear where his support lies.

Book publishers sympathetic to the Palestinian struggle
16 Feb 2026
I was interested in knowing which publishers were more likely to publish a book I might pen about Palestine. A search on Ecosia found this site that has a list of them. It's aptly called publishersforpalestine.org

The UK's complicity in the genocide of Palestinians
15 Feb 2026
I came across this video of a SOAS meeting by chance. It's about the UK's complicity in the genocide by the Israelis.
Oborne (on the left in the image below) was one of the two speakers. He describes the way the UK political parties and the mainstream media supported the Israelis in committing their genocide of Palestinians, including their support for 'collective punishment', printing and amplifying false information; preventing a ceasefire; smearing pro-Palestinian protestors as being, for example violent and antisemitic; and the attack on the world order and international law such as sanctions on UN staff and the ICC. He contrasts the behaviour of Thatcher to the Israelis and Starmer to the Israelis. The former stood up to them but the latter is a coward and a poodle of the Israelis.
Martin Shaw ((on the right in the image below) spoke about genocide by the Israelis - the "systematic" nature of their genocide. He mentions the complicity of the courts and of universities; the failure to prevent and punish perpetrators of genocide. He refers to article 33 and "conspiracy" to commit genocide, referring to the clear involvement of Biden and Trump with Netanyahu that perpetuated and enabled the genocide, and the recent plan to redevelop Gaza and corall the Palestinians.
Shaw mentions the history of Britain in Palestine: starting with Balfour, 1948, and the present. He mentions the military support given to the Israelis (F-35 parts and air surveillance). He exposes the UK government's lie that its surveillance was done to rescue the Israeli hostages - it was to enable the genocide by the Israelis.
The hostages could have been released but Netanyahu did not allow that and he instead continued his bombing and the UK continued their surveillance for the Israelis. Shaw says that decision shows the surveillance was not for the benefit of the hostage but to enable the genocide by the Israelis.
Shaw reveals that the Israelis refused to tell the UK why the surveillance by the UK was being done. It is incredible that a government would do something for another government without knowing why it is doing it.
Shaw says the UK government has not upheld international law and has treated it with contempt. He also mentioned the atmosphere of fear the government has nurtured so that very few MPs have actually spoken out against the government.
Shaw pointed out that the genocide is continuing, and that even if the death toll is reduced, death is not the only measure of genocide - it includes the destruction of a way of life of a group of people - and that destruction is ongoing.
He mentions that Israel is "deeply integrated into western, including Britain, economic, military, and cultural systems, and that is why the UK government is resisting external pressure on its genocidal policies. He also touched upon the ideology in the UK that gives the Jews' holocaust priority and prominence and privilege over all other holocausts and genocides.
I have noticed this favouritism too. In Jan 2025, I wrote to Peter Mason, the leader of Ealing council:
"Mr Mason
I refer to your notice of the above event (screenshot attached).
I am disappointed to see you have shown bias by giving prominence to the Jewish holocaust.
Why have you not given equal exposure to the current holocaust of Palestinians, or how about the holocaust of Sikhs in 1984 and the ensuing decades?
The notice says the gathering is an opportunity to "learn about the Holocaust and more recent genocides" but why have you not mentioned these "recent genocides" by name and given them the same prominence as you have by mentioning the Jewish Holocaust. Why have you not mentioned, by name, the current genocide of Palestinians?
Why have you not mentioned with equal prominence, holocausts of groups of other people who either reside or might reside in the borough, such as Rwandans, Poles, Rohingyas, or Bangladeshis?
It seems to me that the Jewish Holocaust (capital "H") has been singled out in your notice and holocausts of other groups have been relegated to "other genocides".
Your notice highlights anti-semitism but where is the equal prominence of hatred towards other groups of people, such as Palestinians, Kurds, Uyghurs, or asylum-seekers?
I am disappointed by the bias shown in your notice.
In case you accuse me of anti-semitism, take note, it is not anti-semitic to point out what I perceive to be bias.

He warns that Reform UK party will use the repression of pro-Palestinian protest as a template to build an authoritarian state in the UK, and that is why there must be accountability for the complicity of the UK government over Palestine.
That accountability involves: arresting Netanyahu; investigating UK officials who were complicit in the genocide or who breached the UN convention on genocide, including UK citizens who fought in the IDF; the T&Cs of the secretive UK-Israel military cooperation agreement must be disclosed; support must be given to the organisations (including the Green Party) calling for accountability; Israeli assets must be frozen and used to rebuild Gaza.
Shaw notes that the level of repression by the UK government is inversely proportional to public support for Israel, i.e., UK government repression is directly proportional to the extent to which Israel and the UK government are losing the argument and Israel is being seen to be committing genocide and behaving in a depraved and inhumane manner.
Shaw also mentions the refusal of the UK government to admit to genocide in Palestine, instead saying calling it a genocide requires a legal or court decision.
Oborne likened ICE and the Israeli thugs terrorising Palestinians in the West Bank, to the fascist Brown Shirts.

Motasem Dalloul - Palestinian journalist in Gaza whose close family members were murdered by the Israelis
15 Feb 2026
I was trying to find a Zoom meeting by Flintoff but could not find it. I did come across a video he published a few months ago. It was of a Zoom meeting with a Palestinian journalist - Motasem Dalloul - who has been publishing accounts of life on the ground in Gaza and the atrocities being committed by the Israelis. He has been smeared and targetted by the Israelis for his reporting and activism. They shot him but he recovered. He tells of the constant threat of being bombed and the constant presence of drones. That fear means he rarely sleeps longer than 20 minutes at a time.
He mentions how food is limited, medical supplies are non-existent because the inhumane Israelis deny these basic necessities for life. Internet access is sketchy so he has to use the morning to post videos as that is the only time when the signal is sufficiently strong.
He described the reports of people released from Israeli detention - the horrific accounts of abuse by the Israeli captors. He has lost close family members including three children and his wife - all murdered by the Israelis. His family are shown below. He is carrying his dead child. The same child is also shown alongside his murdered wife. One of his sons was murdered as he went to find food. The other son was shot in the head.
I have chosen to show these harrowing images to bring home the reality, at a personal level, of what the Israelis have done and continue to do - their depravity and their barbarity destroys innocent human beings and families. They have been enabled by the US and the UK and many other nations across the globe.
I don't know if Dalloul is still alive and posting his messages. I did a search and found this link of a video report he gave to Memo on 02 Feb 2026. This link also has links to previous updates by Dalloul.

Against all the odds, Palestine Action has won its de-proscription case against the UK government
13 Feb 2026
Flintoff's video of the decision from the High Court at around 10am today where the judges, to their credit because it showed there is faith in British justice, ruled that the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful and that the proscription was disproportionate.
It was a malicious campaign by the government including hand-picking three "compromised" judges with zionist leanings that were their puppets.
Disgustingly, the government has immediately said it will appeal today's judgement about Palestine Action.
One of the speakers at the press conference noted that the "legacy" media was complicit with the government in its campaign against Palestine Action. It was also notable how many from the media turned up this morning.
Disgusting Yvette Cooper has been shamed for her tactics against Palestine Action. Read this 15 Feb 2026 article on the victory and the shameful tactics used by Cooper to ban Palestine Action. It's possible she will now face charges of contempt of court for her behaviour.
" [the UK government's proscription has meant] there has been a terrible harm to democracy, when so many people have suffered for effectively peacefully protesting against government lawlessness."

Meeting at SOAS to discuss the UK government's campaign to suppress free speech
12 Feb 2026
I attended this evening meeting at SOAS in Russell Square, London on the shameful attempts by the UK government to restrict the fundamental right to free speech.The panel comprised: Alex Kenny; Ben Jamal; Sophie Bolt (in green); Katie Watts (in black); Chris Nineham (next to Watts); Ben Jamal (wearing the scarf); Alex Kenny (standing). John McDonell (standing in the image in the centre of the top row), stepped in for Yanis Varoufakis and for Juliet Stevenson.
The speakers described the draconian laws the government is introducing to ban protest marches, including the cumulative effect ban (CEB). CEB means the police may consider unrelated and completely unreasonable events in forming their decision to ban a protest. It is well known that change comes through a long series of actions, i.e., through cumulative action. CEB prevents the cumulative effect that is needed for change to occur. CEB is therefore a deliberate ploy by the government to prevent successful change from happening, i.e., for pro-Palestine actions to take effect.
They described
how the police had banned the use of megaphones outside Chatham House because they would cause serious disruption to the occupants of Chatham House, yet that was the very point of having the megaphones - to disturb (disrupt) the meeting being held at Chatham House.
The government's attempts to make it a crime to chant 'globalise the intafada' and 'from the rivers to the sea'
the double standards of the government and the police by allowing the far right (UKIP) to protest close to a Jewish religious building on 31 Jan 2026, yet not allowing pro-Palestinians to do the same.
how the UK government is complicit in genocide through its surveillanc eoperations and its F35 jet fighter parts sales to Israel.
how 65% of the population support the ban on arms sales to the Israelis, yet the government ignores that majority of the population and continues to sell them - illustrating how the government is not for the people.
how the Israelis are torturing and starving nine thousand Palestinian prisoners they have kidnapped
the double-standards of the west: they pursue and sanction the Iranians for their nuclear programme and demand inspections of their nuclear sites, yet the west says nothing about inspecting the Israelis' nuclear weapons. Nor do the Israelis allow any inspection
how the government is doubling-down on suppressing the right to protest, precisely because now is a critical time to be protesting about the genocide, and about other global issues such as climate change - a time when such risks are high and demand protests.
Watts - a lawyer at Liberty - said the unprecedented onslaught on free speech began with P Patel, and the conflation of pro-Palestinian solidarity with hate speech.

Israeli genocide partner, Palantir, awarded £240m contract by UK
12 Feb 2026
PSC asked me to write to Starmer demanding he end the contract with Palantir, the tech company enabling the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis. I did so. The PSC letter can be read below. Watch this short clip of a protest outside an event held by Palantir to celebrate its £240m contract awarded to it by the UK MoD.
Terminate all government contracts with Palantir
Prime Minister,
I am writing to demand that you act immediately to terminate all government contracts with US spyware corporation Palantir.
It is shameful that the government is awarding lucrative contracts to Palantir, which provides AI and surveillance technology used as an essential part of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and wider regime of military occupation and apartheid.
Your government is continuing to push ahead with the roll out of the NHS Federated Data Platform, which is being developed and maintained by Palantir. This is despite major objections on both data privacy and human rights grounds raised by health workers, patients and civil society organisations.
Furthermore, your government is handing new contracts to Palantir, despite the human rights and privacy concerns raised. In February 2025, you visited Palantir’s US headquarters, accompanied by the disgraced former ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson. The following September, your government signed a “strategic partnership agreement” with Palantir, which included a deal for the company to make Britain its “European HQ for defence”. Three months later, Palantir was awarded a £240million contract by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to provide data analytics software to support “strategic, tactical and live operational decision making”. This is the largest ever contract handed to Palantir by the department, and was awarded without a competitive tender process. Furthermore, Palantir’s head in Britain, Louis Mosley, sits on the MOD’s Defence Industrial Joint Council, the primary forum for the MOD’s engagement with suppliers.
This government’s relationship with Palantir is deeply alarming given the company’s deep involvement in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. In January 2024, Palantir entered into a “strategic partnership” with Israel’s Ministry of Defence to develop technology and tools to be used in “war-related missions.” This technology has been used to accelerate Israel’s genocide in Gaza, by using AI technology for its bombing campaigns which have destroyed entire neighbourhoods, schools and hospitals. This has allowed the Israeli military to develop, in the words of one former military officer, a “mass assassination factory”. Palantir’s role in providing Israel with technology used in its genocide in Gaza has been highlighted in a report by the UN Special Rapporteur for human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
Palantir also provides technology used as part of Israel’s surveillance apparatus in the West Bank. Palestinians in the West Bank face constant and invasive observation and monitoring leading to restricted movement and arbitrary arrest and detention in Israel’s prisons, where they face systematic torture.

IOC's hypocrisy and double standards at the Winter Olympics
12 Feb 2026
FT.com published an article on the disqualification of a Ukrainian yet the IOC allows the Israelis to compete. MY comment was published but I expect it will be removed. Russia is banned because it invaed Ukraine yet the IOC welcomes the Israelis who are guilty of genocide and ethnic cleansing. It also allows the US to compete - a partner in that genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Netflix is erasing and misrepresenting Palestinian culture
11 Feb 2026
Codepink exposed Netflix's erasure and misrepresentation of Palestinian culture. I signed the petition.
Codepink exposed Netflix's erasure and misrepresentation of Palestinian culture. I signed the petition.
We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned by Netflix’s decision to delete at least 19 films by Palestinian filmmakers or about Palestinian stories from its platform on October 13th and October 14th of this week. Three years ago, Netflix announced the launch of “Palestinian Stories,” a Netflix collection of 32 films that would “showcase the depth and diversity of the Palestinian experience, exploring people’s lives, dreams, families, friendships, and love.” In the U.S., the “Palestinian Stories” Netflix page now shows only one film that is available for viewing — literally erasing Palestinians’ stories and perspectives from popular culture.
We urge you to explain your decision and to reinstate every film by or about Palestinians that Netflix has deleted. Netflix’s deletion of nearly its entire catalog of Palestinian films will further marginalize Palestinian voices at a time when over two million Palestinians in Gaza are being subjected to genocide by Israel. The systemic erasure of Palestinian voices prevents broader audiences from understanding the reality of Israel’s brutal occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and now, genocide of Palestinians.
For the past year, Israel has been perpetrating a genocide in Gaza, murdering over 200,000 people, according to a piece published in the British medical journal Lancet. Given this horrifying reality, Netflix should be promoting — not deleting — Palestinian stories.
We urge you to reinstate the Palestinian films that were deleted from Netflix’s site.
Sincerely,
We urge you to explain your decision and to reinstate every film by or about Palestinians that Netflix has deleted. Netflix’s deletion of nearly its entire catalog of Palestinian films will further marginalize Palestinian voices at a time when over two million Palestinians in Gaza are being subjected to genocide by Israel. The systemic erasure of Palestinian voices prevents broader audiences from understanding the reality of Israel’s brutal occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and now, genocide of Palestinians.
For the past year, Israel has been perpetrating a genocide in Gaza, murdering over 200,000 people, according to a piece published in the British medical journal Lancet. Given this horrifying reality, Netflix should be promoting — not deleting — Palestinian stories.
We urge you to reinstate the Palestinian films that were deleted from Netflix’s site.
Sincerely,
Apple supports genocide by Israelis - boycott it

Codepink raised the alarm over the 'phone maker, Apple's complicity in genocide because it supports the Israelis. See how it does this from the list below. I signed the petition and a letter to its chief executive.

FT.com - freedom of speech in India and Palestine.
11 Feb 2026
FT.com published an article on the Indian government's social media freedom of speech policy. My comment (the second image below) was immediately published but it might be removed later. I linked it to Israelis murdering hundreds of journalists in Palestine.
Update: I checked and noticed my comment had been removed. I posted a shorter version (immediately below) that was also published but it might also be removed:

Disgusting Air BnB advertises properties for Israelis on illegally occupied Palestinian land
10 Feb 2026
Disgusting to see AirBnB complicit in ethnic cleansing of Palestine by advertising properties on its website, for Israelis, that are situated on illegally occupied Palestinian land. I happily signed a petition today calling on AirBnB to stop advertising these properties.
.......We, the undersigned individuals against occupation, demand Airbnb remove listings in illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine. In 2018, Airbnb pledged to remove over 200 listings on illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land. Soon after, this decision was reversed because you succumbed to the pressure of lawsuits by the settlers who owned the listings. As we have seen the state of Israel commit heinous atrocities in Palestine the past year and a half, all of which have been recognized time and time again by international human rights organizations and the United Nations, it is Airbnb’s duty to not fall complicit in these crimes.
We call on you, Airbnb, to exercise your power as the largest vacation rental company in the world and abide by international law. A recent report by Francesa Albanese of the UN identified 350 properties on Airbnb’s website that are situated on stolen Palestinian land. When Airbnb accepts these listings, Israel is then incentivized further to provide electricity, water, proper roads, and “security” to these settlements. That means stealing more resources from Palestinians and instructing the Israeli occupation forces to use lethal measures against Palestinians who attempt to take their land back. All of these factors expedite the process of annexing Palestinian land, legitimizing settlements, and absorbing them into Israeli territory. Is Airbnb okay with profiting off of occupation and land theft? In your core mission, you state that Airbnb is meant to "create a world where anyone can belong anywhere". By bolstering Israel’s occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, you are not creating a world in which Palestinians belong. In fact, you are quite literally contributing to their erasure as a population with an indigenous land.
If you want to uphold your company’s mission and do right by millions of people globally, who have been actively boycotting your site, you would concede to the demands of taking all listings on illegal settlements off your website. Not only would this ensure Airbnb is complying with international law, it would allow Palestinians a higher quality of life where their homes are not being demolished for profit.

USA's Oakland Airport is exporting military cargo so Israelis may commit genocide of Palestinians
10 Feb 2026
Disgusting to learn that an airport in the US is exporting US arms to the Israelis so they may commit genocide of Palestinians. I signed the petition calling on these disgusting people to stop their complicity in genocide. Read the letter below - sponsored by Codepink.
.........
We, the undersigned individuals against occupation, demand that the Port of Oakland cease its complicity in genocide by allegedly aiding the Israeli military with weapons to kill innocent civilians in Gaza. It has been proven in recent research, that the Oakland International Airport (OAK), overseen by the Port of Oakland, has facilitated over 280 shipments of military cargo to the Nevtiam Air Base in Israel over the course of six months.
Why, as a key port for transportation, is OAK acting as an agent of war to help the Israeli government kill thousands of people in Gaza? When the situation in Gaza has been proven to be a genocide by human rights organizations and scholars, why is OAK content with being a major contributor to the genocide?
OAK should focus on serving the American people and their travels, not on genocide and destruction. People’s livelihoods are at stake, thousands of Palestinians have been killed, more have been displaced, Gaza is demolished. The Port of Oakland and its airport should not be the mediator of weapons to the Israeli military when it has shown the world what evil atrocities they act out with them. The Port of Oakland must end its complicity in genocide and cease its shipments of military cargo to the ruthless Israeli military.

Kick Israelis out of football
10 Feb 2026
I signed the petition to kick the Israelis out of football. See the letter sponsored by Codepink, to the wife of the president of UEFA.
..............
We, the undersigned individuals against occupation, demand that soccer federations, whether they be local, or international like FIFA and UEFA, boycott the Israeli soccer team in an effort to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes in Palestine. The state of Israel is committing a UN-recognized genocide in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have been killed. Our international body, whether that be politically or culturally, must demand consequences for Israel’s participation in the destruction of so many people’s livelihoods.
Cultural boycotts are effective and meaningful. During apartheid South Africa, sports teams were boycotted fervently in order to end British colonial rule. The efficacy of these boycotts, at such a large global scale, paved the way for apartheid to fall and for South Africa to become sovereign.
Now, we have Israel, another colonial power, committing a world-recognized genocide in Gaza. The humanitarian, political, and ecological effects of Israel’s crimes are past the point of not taking action. Gaza has been reduced to rubble and is under strict blockade, and the West Bank is being illegally annexed at a much faster rate than ever before. These are all cold-hard truths.
Israel must feel the outcomes of its bloody actions in every sector of society, including sports. Soccer is the most watched sport in the world and a boycott of the Israeli soccer team would be very powerful. That is why FIFA, UEFA, and local soccer federations must:

Pepperdine university must sack the former director of the infamous GHF death machine
10 Feb 2026
I signed a petition to sack this former director of the infamous GHF. Read the letter sponsored by Codepink:
.............
Dear President Gash and Members of the Board,
We, the undersigned individuals against occupation, write in anger and dismay at Pepperdine’s decision to appoint Rev. Johnnie Moore as Vice Chancellor of its Washington, D.C., campus.
Pepperdine proclaims a mission of faith, service, truth, and moral leadership — values fundamentally at odds with elevating a figure whose recent role leading the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has drawn widespread condemnation.
The Foundation’s aid sites have been described by survivors and medical workers as death traps: overcrowded, under-secured, shot through with gunfire, and prone to panic, stampedes, and chaos. Its distribution model — privatized, militarized, and politicized — centralized starving civilians at a few exposed points in an active war zone, turning the search for food into a life-threatening ordeal. Reports from the ground recount scenes of terror and preventable death; this is not a model consistent with compassion or with the mission Pepperdine claims to stand for.
Pepperdine cannot credibly teach leadership and the dignity of every human being while rewarding such unprincipled leadership. The victims who were simply trying to eat deserve truth, contrition, and repair, not a promotion for those who presided over the policies that put them in harm’s way.
By welcoming Rev. Moore into senior leadership, Pepperdine communicates to students, faculty, alumni, and the world that Christian ethics are negotiable and that the cries of the hungry can be drowned out by public relations. That is intolerable for a university that claims to shape ethical leaders.
We therefore call on you to immediately rescind Rev. Johnnie Moore’s appointment.
Announce an independent, transparent review of how this hiring was approved and what standards will govern future leadership selections. Make clear—publicly and unequivocally—that Pepperdine stands with humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence, and that it will not lend its name to leadership mired in allegations of gross harm. Finally, commit to tangible support for life-saving, principled humanitarian action in Gaza and to listening to those whose families waited in those lines and never came home.
This is a moment to decide who Pepperdine really is. Either your faith compels you to stand with the vulnerable and to tell the truth about preventable tragedy, or your faith is merely a slogan.
Show your integrity by firing Rev. Johnnie Moore and beginning the work of repair.

US unions stay silent over genocide in Palestine - why?
10 Feb 2026
I signed a petition calling on some US union(s) to break their silence and to act and condemn the genocide in Palestine by the Israelis. Read the letter below - sponsored by Codepink. Perhaps they've been bought and silenced by pro-Israeli money, just like the disgusting US and UK politicians.
.................
Over the past two years, Israel has been committing a recognized genocide in Gaza with weapons and cargo that is shipped by U.S. workers and paid by U.S. tax dollars. There has been miniscule effort by the U.S. labor movement to take collective and meaningful action against the war crimes we are complicit in.
The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) has stayed silent on the genocide in Gaza, completeley diminishing the power that the labor movement could have.
CODEPINK, in solidarity with our friend Chris Smalls’ call for a day of action against the AFL-CIO, is demanding that the AFL-CIO take action against genocide and occupation!
We, the undersigned individuals against occupation, demand that The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) recognize the genocide Israel is committing in Palestine and to take direct action against it.
The AFL-CIO has been virtually silent on the war crimes Israel has committed in Gaza - war crimes that are enabled by weapons shipped from U.S. ports by U.S. workers. The United States is the largest exporter of weapons to Israel and our ports and workers are being used to ship weapons for genocide everyday. What funds this? The $22.7 billion from American tax dollars.
Americans have been made complicit in the murder of over 600,000 people in Gaza, the injury of many more, and the displacement of over 1.5 million people. The AFL-CIO could have a direct impact on stopping shipments to Israel and mobilizing labor power to fight for justice. This is not a controversial topic, it is a matter of life and death, and one central point of power in this country is that of the labor movement – a movement that has been historically successful in leveraging political and civil wins in this country.
In coordination with Chris Smalls' call for a day of action, we demand that the AFL-CIO:

- Affirm that attacks on workers anywhere are attacks on all workers.
- Recognize Israel as an apartheid state, consistent with Amnesty, HRW, the UN, and B'Tselem.
- Take direct action: Refuse to ship weapons, cut ties with war profiteers, and mobilize union power to end genocide

Genocidal Israelis must be kicked out of football
10 Feb 2026
I sent the following letter (sponsored by Codepink) to kick the Israelis out of UEFA:
...................................
Write To President of UEFA Aleksander ÄŒeferin
subject: UEFA: Suspend Israel from European Football!
Dear President Aleksander Čeferin,
I write in an urgent appeal to suspend Israel from European football, specifically from your organization, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). In times like these, it is as crucial as ever to take a stand against injustice and crimes against humanity. Gaza is a place that has been ravaged by Israeli violence, yet continues to live despite it.
Displaced Palestinians have used football as a source of joy when there seemed to be no joy left amidst the rubble and bombs. This is a true display of what football provides at its core: a communal activity meant to bring people together.
UEFA should uphold this principle as it navigates its relationship with the settler colonial state of Israel. After the past two years of bloodshed and manslaughter in Gaza, Israel must be held accountable for its war crimes in every sector of society.
Even in this period of a “ceasefire”, Israel has violated the terms of peace over 500 times and killed over 300 Palestinians. It is still besieging Gaza and starving innocent civilians within the Strip despite international pressure and isolation.
Your organization can stand on the right side of history and contribute even more pressure on Israel and its officials to face accountability for its impunity. Football is so important in Europe, Palestine, and Israel. The power of a cultural sports boycott in achieving justice for the thousands of Palestinians brutally murdered and displaced by Israel would be monumental.
Not only will this align the organization's moral compass with principles of peace, but it will also allow for the pleas of the 2 million Palestinians in Gaza to be heard, finally. Stand with the oppressed, not the oppressor, suspend Israel from UEFA.

War criminals must be held accountable for their crimes in Palestine
10 Feb 2026
I signed this petition to bring the war criminals to account. It is sickening that after so much time and so much death and misery, the ICC has done nothing more. Its inaction shows it is impotent and useless. I hope this petition will prod it to act and use whatever influence and authority it has. Perhaps it will prove to be another sham, in the mould of the UNSC - the shameful organisation that passed the UNSC resolution 2803 on Gaza in Nov 2025 (read more on it below).

We must hold accountable all those responsible for the following:
CODEPINK therefore calls on the Office of the Prosecutor to:
- The 600,000 people killed in Gaza
- The displacement of 1.5 million residents
- The deliberate manufacturing of famine and mass starvation
- Widespread sexual violence and abuse
- The reduction of 95% of Gaza to rubble
- The torture and unlawful detention of thousands of Palestinians
- The targeting of journalists, healthcare workers, and humanitarian staff
- The destruction of mosques, churches, and sites of cultural and historical significance
- The collective punishment of an entire people
- The desecration and destruction of cemeteries
- And countless other atrocities and war crimes
CODEPINK therefore calls on the Office of the Prosecutor to:
- Expand the scope of the ongoing investigation into the Situation in Palestine.
- Issue additional arrest warrants for all individuals and entities complicit in these crimes.
- Pursue prosecution of state and non-state actors, including foreign enablers and corporate profiteers.
- Publicly affirm the ICC’s commitment to equitable justice and the rule of law for everyone.

Manager of Kneecap exposes pro-Israeli media's cunning
09 Feb 2026
I came across, by chance, a video of the manager of the group, Kneecap, describing the cunning tactic of mainstream pro-Israeli media to follow a pro-Israel narrative. They will, from the outset, ask about Hamas, yet they never ask an interviewee about the IDF. He also mentions how the media never interview people who have a different perspective, such as Palestinians or Iranians, but always interview pro-Israelis or US supporters who spread propaganda and so the interviews are one-sided. He described the technique to avoid being dragged into a question that serves the aim of the presenter and instead to keep talking about the key point to be expressed and avoid being dragged to another point.
He also called out the UEFA to kick out Israel because seven of its teams play in occupied Palestinian territories, yet Israel has not been expelled even though there has been a breach of UEFA rules. He highlighted that no one called out the rule.
He also mentioned that the band members are being threatened by pro-Israeli supporters with losing their income, to which he said that loss would not matter because the band is standing up for a principle not to make money so if the pro-Israelis do take the band's revenue, that is of no consequence to the band.

IHRA definition must be withdrawn from the NHS
06 Feb 2026
I decided to take a look at Crispin Flintoff's videos - I have lost interest in many independent media outlets because they don't have the decency to respond when I contact them. Perhaps there's a monetary basis for their silence - if I were a subscriber, then they'd respond. Perhaps they think I'm an Israeli agent trying to trap them or hack into their computer. Perhaps they don't know me so are erring on the side of caution and not engaging.
One of Flintoff's videos was an interview of a surgeon, Ranjeet Brar about the IHRA definition of antisemitism. It is an outrageous definition because it effectively shuts down any criticism of Israelis and their atrocities in Palestine ane elsewhere. What is even more outrageous is that the defintion has been adopted by the authorities in the UK, including the police and that puppet of the pro-Israeli lobby, Wes Streeting - the UK Health Secretary.
Because of Streeting's position of power, he is an extremely dangerous being and he is proving to be so by his hounding of NHS personnel who speak out in support of Palestinians and against Israelis committing genocide and ethnic cleansing, comments that are caught by the IHRA defintion. See this press release for an account of the danger of Streeting's plans to suppress free speech in the NHS.
By speaking out, NHS staff risk being struck off and lose their licence to practise medicine, just for criticising Israel - that is how depraved Streeting and the Pro-Israelis who support the IHRA definition are, and how far they are willing to go to prevent criticism of the atrocities the Israelis are committing.
Brar gave a long explanation of the danger of the IHRA definition and his campaign for a judicial review of its use in the UK or in the NHS. That review costs money and so he and his colleagues have started a fund to pay for the cost of a judicial review (link).
He referred to a presentation on the IHRA that he gave and which he recommended Flintoff's viewers watch. I found this presentation by Brar, which I think is what he meant (link). It is an excellent presentation.
Brar also spoke at a rally about 2 weeks ago outside Streeting's Labour Party branch in Ilford, Essex. A video of his speech is here in which he talks about the IHRA.
Another medic, Aladwan, was also interviewed (alongside Brar) by Flintoff. She is the person I donated some money to, to help fund her defence against the pro-Israelis who had tried to have her taken off the GMC register for her comments. This link reports on her victory in Oct 2025. She was suspended for 15 months at a subsequent GMC hearing. This is her X account.
This link to another video by Flintoff shows Aladwan talking about the repeated arrests of her by the police (four times in two months), which suggest she is being targetted by the authorities and the UK government, with the encouragement of the pro-Israeli lobby.
Listening and watching her, Aladwan is clearly passionate about smashing zionism and exposing the inhumanity of the Israelis, and she is willing to engage with all political thinkers, including the right, to expose the inhumanity of zionists. Her views appear to be resonating with some from the right of the political spectrum.
I decided to take a look at Crispin Flintoff's videos - I have lost interest in many independent media outlets because they don't have the decency to respond when I contact them. Perhaps there's a monetary basis for their silence - if I were a subscriber, then they'd respond. Perhaps they think I'm an Israeli agent trying to trap them or hack into their computer. Perhaps they don't know me so are erring on the side of caution and not engaging.
One of Flintoff's videos was an interview of a surgeon, Ranjeet Brar about the IHRA definition of antisemitism. It is an outrageous definition because it effectively shuts down any criticism of Israelis and their atrocities in Palestine ane elsewhere. What is even more outrageous is that the defintion has been adopted by the authorities in the UK, including the police and that puppet of the pro-Israeli lobby, Wes Streeting - the UK Health Secretary.
Because of Streeting's position of power, he is an extremely dangerous being and he is proving to be so by his hounding of NHS personnel who speak out in support of Palestinians and against Israelis committing genocide and ethnic cleansing, comments that are caught by the IHRA defintion. See this press release for an account of the danger of Streeting's plans to suppress free speech in the NHS.
By speaking out, NHS staff risk being struck off and lose their licence to practise medicine, just for criticising Israel - that is how depraved Streeting and the Pro-Israelis who support the IHRA definition are, and how far they are willing to go to prevent criticism of the atrocities the Israelis are committing.
Brar gave a long explanation of the danger of the IHRA definition and his campaign for a judicial review of its use in the UK or in the NHS. That review costs money and so he and his colleagues have started a fund to pay for the cost of a judicial review (link).
He referred to a presentation on the IHRA that he gave and which he recommended Flintoff's viewers watch. I found this presentation by Brar, which I think is what he meant (link). It is an excellent presentation.
Brar also spoke at a rally about 2 weeks ago outside Streeting's Labour Party branch in Ilford, Essex. A video of his speech is here in which he talks about the IHRA.
Another medic, Aladwan, was also interviewed (alongside Brar) by Flintoff. She is the person I donated some money to, to help fund her defence against the pro-Israelis who had tried to have her taken off the GMC register for her comments. This link reports on her victory in Oct 2025. She was suspended for 15 months at a subsequent GMC hearing. This is her X account.

The similarity between the Israelis and Hindus
05 Feb 2026
A Zeteo interview of Arundhati Roy that identifies the similarity of the Israelis and the Hindus (the government of Modi) - they each consider themselves as the chosen ones and superior to others, and Modi and Netanyahu are allies. It discusses the genocide of Palestinians.
It was disappointing that neither Roy nor Hassan mentioned the massacres of Sikhs; nor did they mention Punjab. Their comments were limited to Hindus, Muslims and comparing Kashmir to Gaza.

Israelis have created a "biosphere" of automatic genocide of Palestinians
05 Feb 2026
Electronic Intafada interviewed surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah. It was a wide-ranging discussion including the genocidal and imperialism and colonialism of westerners and their inhumanity towards people of colour, and to their own kind (white people murdered in Minnesota). It also questioned how it could be that those who speak against the perpetrators of genocide are criminalised and punished yet those perpetrating the genocide are not.
The surgeon made a very chilling observation: that the Israelis have, through their bombing and Dresdenisation of Gaza, created a "biosphere" that is automatically (without further bombing by the Israelis) continuing the genocide of Palestinians. That continuation is possible because the Israelis have created the conditions where no aid and no infrastructure are allowed in to that biosphere, so its inhabitants will inevitably die. An analogy - that is true of what has happened in Palestine - is when a child is so malnourished that their recovery is no longer possible and so their death is inevitable.
The discussion also discussed Khushner's blueprint for Gaza and how Palestinians would be kept in a prison and fed and watered and nothing more.
It also mentioned the persecution of the surgeon and others speaking in support of Palestinians, by pro-Israelis. He had been prevented from speaking at a conference in Germany and deported. He issued a claim against such ill-treatment and he won his case. He also won a case where UKLFI scum had tried to have him stripped of his licence to practice medicine - a common tactic used by these pro-Israelis.

Dutch resistance heroines who never gave up their humanity
04 Feb 2026
Another inspiring story of courage by people that western society has not associated with heroism and courage. This story is of three young women - girls, who killed Nazis and collaborators during WWII. Because of their appearance and gender, they were not suspected as being assassins or resistance fighters, so they were able to infiltrate the enemy and kill them.
Two girls survived the war, but because they were communists, their heroism was never recognised for 69 years. The third, by contrast, was honoured - simply because she was not a communist. She, however, was executed just shortly before the war ended. The contrast in the treatment of the three illustrates the inhumanity of politicians and the effect their actions have on the lives of people.
The three girls showed humanity and never forsaked it, even in those dark times. All three girls refused an order to murder children. Their humanity contrasts with the inhumanity of Israelis who have murdered thousands of Palestinian women and children, and babies, and continue to do so, with the complicity of the Europeans and the US.
The video of these three girls' heroism includes a story where the youngest, Freddie, was assigned to assassinate a collaborator who was about to hand over names of Jews to the Nazis. That assassination saved the lives of those Jews.
Before the two sisters joined the Dutch resistance, with the approval of their mother, they and their mother had taken in people in need and had secretly distributed anti-Nazi information. They had resisted the illegal occupiers of their land, the Nazis.
This story should inspire Palestinians to also resist the illegal occupiers of their land, the inhumane Israelis, who've murdered thousands of innocent Palestinians including children. It is not possible to reconcile the depravity and inhumanity of these Israelis (many ir not all of whom will regard themselves as jews) towards Palestinians and other people of the Middle East, given the history of persecution of the Jews.
A video of the heroism of the three girls is here (viewed 04 Feb 2026). Note the words of the narrator at the end, about humanity and the inhumanity of the Nazis. Note the similarity of what the Nazis did to what the Israelis have done, and are doing, to Palestinians. The words Nazis and Israelis are interchangeable because of their shared inhumanity: the Nazis' inhumanity to Jews and Israelis' inhumanity to Palestinians.

Valiant to the end - the inspiring story of Mariya Oktyabrskaya
04 Feb 2026
An inspiring true story of a woman who, against the odds, fought valiantly against the enemy and who gave her life to killing the enemy. Because she was a woman, she was ridiculed when she said she wanted to be a soldier and a tank commander, yet she proved her doubters wrong and through her heroic deeds, won their respect and admiration.
Mariya Oktyabrskaya was 24 and died in a tank (she had bought and commanded it) as she drove it into the Germans she wanted to kill.
In her three years as a soldier in the Soviet army fighting Germans in WWII she is reported to have killed 400 of them.
Fearless and determined, she had nothing to lose, literally. She therefore took risks that most mortals dared not take, but to her, her actions were not risks.
A story to inspire all oppressed people and especially the Palestinians fighting the illegal and inhumane occupiers of Palestinian land: the Israelis. A short documentary film of her life during WWII, is here (viewed 04 Feb 2026).

March in support of Palestinians, 31 Jan 2026
31 Jan 2026
This is the march for which I distributed leaflets on Thu 29 Jan outside Ealing train statio.
One hundred thousand marched in support of Palestinians today in central London, from Russell Sq to Downing Street via Holborn. A great show of support from many individuals who outwardly appear different and who follow different paths in their lives, but there is a common bond that all share - humanity.
That is a value that many in power do not have. The images below name a very small number of them: Netanyahu; Trump; Starmer; Lammy; Cooper, but there are thousands more working behind the scenes, making sure they remain in power and that their ideology is passed to the next batch of inhumane leaders.
As a consequence of their inhumanity, hundreds of thousands of innocent people have suffered and died and, as long as these inhumane leaders remain in power, many more will continue to suffer and die.
How to combat such inhumanity? By organising and cooperating and by voting them out of power, and above all, staying true to the value of humanity.
Some of the leaflets I picked up from the march are shown below.
Flintoff covered the march, and a 24 mins video of that coverage is here.

31 Jan 2026
I came across a 30 Jan 2026 FT.com article about Soc Gen's turnaround and its comparison to disgraced peer bank, BNP. That article mentioned "BNP’s role in financing a genocidal regime in Sudan". I looked into this and came across FT'com's 27 Oct 2025 article that provided details of BNP's nefarious activities in the Sudan. In typical style, FT did not allow comments on that article. The Oct article included a warning to companies of the liabilities they face for acting for abusive regimes (see quote below):
I was struck by the relevance of this warning to what is happening in Palestine. Many companies and governments (regimes) are supporting the genocide by the Israelis of Palestinians and their ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Where are the court claims against companies that act for these regimes? The companies include Amazon, Google, Palantir, JCB, and many more.
Beth Stephens was cited in an article on a similar situation: human rights abuses against civilians by political leaders or those in power: "Stephens and the team of attorneys won a landmark case against Bolivia’s ex-president and former defense minister after a U.S. federal court jury found them legally responsible for planning and ordering the use of military force to suppress protests against government policies." (ref).
I sent an email to Stephens asking her: what about the people and the companies that are acting for the genocidal Israeli and US regimes in enabling the genocide and ethnic cleansing in palestine? Where are the legal claims and articles about them? My email can be seen here.

Handing out leaflets of the big march in central London on 31 Jan 2026 in support of Palestinians
29 Jan 2026
I received an email to help distribute leaflets announcing the 31 Jan 2026 central London march in support of Palestine.
I turned up at Ealing train station at 4.30pm as requested. I did not see anyone obviously distributing leaflets, so I took some photos. I spotted someone distributing leaflets in the distance and went over and collected a handful of them. I was advised to stay out of sight of the Ealing station staff as they were not welcoming and the area outside the entrance to the station was their property.
I decided to play safe and stood on the pavement. Even there is risky because a licence is needed to distribute leaflets except for charities. I presumed the organisation that had sent the call for help was a charity so I was protected.
It was bitterly cold because of the chill factor and I had no gloves. My hands felt like blocks of ice. I thought of Alex Pretti, the guy murdered by ICE or CBP thugs in Minnesota - he died standing up to oppression and scum. His memory motivated me to stay and do my bit for the Palestinians such as Hind and those other Palestinians murdered by the Israelis.
Occasionally, police and station staff came out and ushered the other two distributors towards the perimeter or beyond. One "community enforcement officer" or something of that sort, and a policeman, insisted the distributor move beyond the perimeter. I was on the pavement so they had no cause to speak to me.
A guy shouted an expletive loudly at the distributor (the woman) from across the road and made an offensive gesture towards her then marched off. I was alarmed by his behaviour. About 5 minutes later he was beside her speaking to her. She was walking but he stuck to her side. I later noticed the same guy pestering the other distributor (the man). It was the same scene, the distributor walked away but the troublemaker stuck to his side. It was analogous to a pigeon that is constantly pursuing another pigeon (a mate).
I noticed a guy speaking to the troublemaker; I guess it was obvious to others people that the troublemaker was being a pest. Fortunately the guy managed to stop the troublemaker harrassing the male distributor. The same troublemaker was again harrassing the male distributor. I noticed three police officers walk over to the scene and confront the troublemaker. I think that finally forced him to clear off because I did not see him again.
If that was not enough, I later saw another guy speaking with the distributorm, and later I saw a bunch of police on the scene. I got the impression the guy was not sympathetic to the Palestinian cause.
It was fortunate police were at the station that afternoon. Not sure why; perhaps to catch or deter fare dodgers.
A guy came over to me and said "jew boy" and gestured to the place where the male distributor had been pestered by the troublemaker. He took my leaflet and folded it and walked off.
I did not push or offer leaflets to passersby but just held out my hand to whoever might be interested in taking one. All of the people who took a leaflet from me were civil and polite, except one. She was wearing dark glasses and stood to one side but looking in my direction. I guess she was interested in a leaflet so I moved forward to hand one to her. She then said loudly "It's not a genocide!". I was stopped in my tracks, stunned at what she had said. I said nothing in response to her. She then turned and walked off.
I managed to hand out about 10 leaflets in the hour. I had planned to leave after an hour but after a further 10 minutes, the two distributors came over to me. It seemed to me, they had finished. I handed back my remaining leaflets and walked off to catch my train.
I have witnessed pro-Israeli or anti-Palestinian troublemakers before - while helping at the stall opposite Barclays on Uxbridge Road. This troublemaker was pestering both distributors, especially the woman and he was verbally offensive and gestured to her offensively. She did not respond in similar fashion, though I did not hear what they were saying. The male distributor too was civilised and tried to shake off the pest by walking away, but he stuck to them.
These troublemakers should respect people's right to speech and not pester them. If they have something to say, they should say it at their own event; they should not gate crash other people's events. Well done to the two distributors who remained calm and civil throughout and continued to perform the task they set out to do.
I don't know why or how I was spared and these two distributors were singled out for harassment by these people.

The inhumanity of US law enforcement costs innocent lives
02 Feb 2026
FT.com published an article on ICE and CBP thuggery. The last sentence of the article, the person detained by ICE for filming them, said of what ICE thugs are doing: “It’s the systematic undoing of everything our country was supposed to be built on.”
I posted the following comment but it was immediately referred to a moderator:
"The USA was built by white supremacists who subjugated and enslaved people (Indians and Africans) who followed a different way of life to these Europeans. These white supremacists then turned their attention to imperialism (dressed up as spreading democracy and liberal values across the world). They've grown fat and imperious by bribing, invading and oppressing weaker countries then grabbing their resources and their markets - most recently, the kidnapping of Maduro and Venezuela's oil.
The issue is not illegal immigration. It is how it is being enforced by ICE and Border Patrol. Many of these masked and armed thugs are engaging in gratuitous violence and their inhumanity is resulting in the murders of men, women, and children.
Trump, Miller, and Noem and they must be impeached and held accountable for these murders and unlawful kidnapping and detention of innocent civilians.
ICE and CBP thugs must be sacked and charged with murder or assault. The rest must have their guns and their masks removed and be trained in peacefully serving warrants on confirmed illegal immigrants to appear before a judge. Anyone who does not comply with a warrant must be arrested by local police as normal.
There should be an immediate withdrawal of all ICE and CBP personnel and the situation allowed to de-escalate for a minimum of six months."

Kulinski aired a video today in which he mentioned this child (see image below), Anadith Alvarez. She suffered from medical conditions. Owing to inadequate medical care, she died while in Customs & Border Patrol's custody (in 2023). See this for a summary of the legal case against CBP.
In another story, a handicapped son died because his father, who cared for his son, had been taken by ICE on suspicion that he was an agent of the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
FT.com published an article on ICE and CBP thuggery. The last sentence of the article, the person detained by ICE for filming them, said of what ICE thugs are doing: “It’s the systematic undoing of everything our country was supposed to be built on.”
I posted the following comment but it was immediately referred to a moderator:

How Minnesotans are scuppering ICE's supply chain
Majority Report interviewed a writer (video link) who has been writing about the tactics used by Minnesotans to thwart ICE thugs. The tactics focus on disrupting the corporate supply chains that keep ICE functioning: where they sleep; where they hire their vehicles; the IT they use. The list of corporates collaborating wioth ICE includes the usual suspects: Amazon and Palantir - well-known for their complicity in the genocide of Palestinians.
In Minnesota, international hotel chain, Hilton provides beds for ICE; Enterprise rent-a-car provides them with vehicles. Fed Ex, UPS, Dell, AT&T, Comcast, Motorola, LexisNexis - all household names and all complicit in the terrorism of ICE.
One way to disrupt is to disrupt the sleep of ICE agents staying at a hotel - holding all-night parties on the street outside their bedrooms; slow-driving around Enterprise car depots to block access; posting bad reviews of hotels that house ICE agents; booking and cancelling rooms; buying then returning goods; all to clog-up the administration systems of collaborators and divert their attention from making money out of ICE.
Read these two articles (here and here) on the collaborators and the tactics deployed to disrupt collaborators.
There are similarities with the peaceful and legal tactics deployed in Minnesota against ICE, and the civil protests across many countries in support of Palestinians, such as targetting Barclays bank for supporting the issuing of bonds by the Israelis, or Macdonalds for supporting the IDF. Sadly, Palestinians are in such dire straits, they have no way to sabotage the Israelis' supply chain.
Organisations such as Palestine Action (PA) have tried, but the pro-Israeli lobby and its lapdog, the UK government, has successfully proscribed PA as a terrorist organisation to silence its activities and stop any support for it.

UK government must end its complicity in the genocide of Palestinians
28 Jan 2026
Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) sent an urgent email to me today calling on me to write to my MP. PSC said in its email:
"Please write to your MP as a matter of urgency ahead of a crucial upcoming debate on genocide that is happening in parliament next week. We need as many MPs as possible speaking up for Palestine.
On Thursday 5th February, parliament will debate Britain’s obligation to assess the risk of genocide in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Our allies in parliament have worked hard to secure this rare debate, giving an opportunity for us to pressure MPs to demand the government recognises the reality of genocide in the Gaza Strip. We need your support calling on MPs to attend this debate, speak out against Israel’s ongoing crimes, and finally bring an end to Britain’s complicity in genocide.
Since the announcement of the so-called ‘ceasefire’ in October, at least 484 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip including 82 children. Among those children are 14-year-old Mohammad and his 13-year-old cousin Suleiman Al Zawaraa, who were shot dead last Saturday morning in northern Gaza while collecting firewood to help their families. The genocide is far from over for Palestinians.
The total death toll is now well over 70,000 people, with many more remaining unaccounted for under buildings that have been razed to the ground. Israel is also still blocking aid from reaching those desperately in need, and this month revoked the licenses of 37 international NGOs - including ActionAid, Médecins Sans Frontières, and the Norwegian Refugee Council - to prevent them operating in Gaza or the West Bank.
MPs must hold the government accountable for its complicity in genocide, including its refusal to even recognise the risk of that genocide. We need your help pressuring MPs to attend next week’s debate and to speak up for Palestine. Please write to your MP today."
I did so immediately. The letter sent to my MP said:
Parliament to debate Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Please take action
On Thursday 5th February there will be a backbench debate titled “That this House has considered the obligation to assess the risk of genocide under international law in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territories”.
As your constituent, I’m asking you to attend this debate and to speak up on behalf of Palestinians. Please inform The Speaker’s Office of your intention to contribute in this debate to ensure it gets allocated the time it deserves.

The total death toll is now well over 70,000 people, with many more remaining unaccounted for under buildings that have been razed to the ground. Israel is still blocking critical aid from reaching those desperately in need, and this month revoked the licenses of 37 international NGOs - including ActionAid, Médecins Sans Frontières, and the Norwegian Refugee Council - to operate in Gaza or the West Bank. This is with the clear objective of making life impossible for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and also to silence the few international observers able to report on Israel’s crimes against humanity.
There is now a consensus view expressed by UN experts and human rights organisations that Israel has committed the crime of genocide - this includes the UN commission of inquiry, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Oxfam, and countless others. MPs must demand that the government recognises the very clear risk of genocide, and accordingly fulfils its obligations under the genocide convention to act now to prevent it.
This is an extremely important issue for many of your constituents, and it’s urgent for MPs to notify The Speakers’ Office of their intention to contribute to this debate on genocide to ensure sufficient parliamentary time is allocated to it.

Kirsti Noem: the vile liar
28 Jan 2026
This guy gave a blistering account in his video of how the scum at the helm in the US government are back-peddling on the lies they spoke immediately after the murder of the guy (Alex Pretti) in Minnesota. Notably, Noem is pointing the finger at Trump and Miller, saying what she did, she did because of those two. Sounds like a WWII Nazi saying to his captors: "I was only following orders". He also analyses the savage attack on Pretti by agents who then murdered him.
27 Jan 2026
Listen to this video that analyses Noem's responses to questions about the murder of a Minnesotan. Watch how Noem evades hard and straight questions about the murder of the innocent observer in Minnesota, shot dead by Border Patrol and/or ICE agents.
Note how she now hides behind an "investigation" into the murder rather than, as she has done previously, with the murder of Good, make outrageous and false claims - including that Good was a domestic terrorist. Noem still lies - she claimed the guy murdered was impeding law enforcement. He was legally observing and filming them. Note how she often reverts to spewing rhetoric and frequently-used garbage that does not answer the specific question asked of her.
Watch this video analyse the same interview and her brazen lies about the murdered guy.

Australian journalist reveals the cowardice and subservience of Autralian media to the Israeli lobby, and their dirty tactics
27 Jan 2026
Zeteo aired this video of an Australian journalistn who was unlawfully sacked by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, ABC, for sharing a tweet that was critical of the Israelis.
She filed a claim and won. In that claim it was revealed that the Israeli lobby that had called for her removal from ABC and had used a malicious campaign of sending fake complaints about her. Lawyers for Israel had used threats of legal action agaiunst ABC and intimidation if she was not removed from the air. Cowardly ABC execs bent their knees and sacked the journalist.
The judge said her sacking was part of a "clear orchestrated campaign by pro-Israel lobbyists."
Hasan queried how these cowardly lawyers had hidden their identities with the help of a 10-year suppression order: "Shouldn't Australians have the right to know if their lawyer is part of a group bullying major news organizations into carrying out unlawful acts?", he asked. The court and judge that issued that order is allowing these corrupt lawyers to continue to practise as lawyers when they should be disbarred for their illegal, unethical and unprofessional conduct.
She tells of widespread infiltration and capture of the pro-Israeli lobby of Australian mainstream media, including a direct line to the chairman and the MD of ABC. "Almost every major media outlet has had one of their senior if not most of their senior editorial leaders go on Israel funded junkets." she asaid
She also mentioned the false and malicious campaign of submitting complaints against the journalist, to make her unemployable. "they [the complants] had striking similarities because they were cut and paste." she said.
She says the dsgusting editor-in-chief of the ABC accused her of anti-semitic hatred in her social media, but when he was challenged to identify examples, all he could find was she had talked of "unlawful occupation of Palestine", which is pathetic and is not antisemitic.
Hasan mentioned the Australian government had supplied F-35 parts to the Israelis that were used in Gaza. He also described the governments recognition of Palestine state as 'gesture politics' because the government has doing nothing tangible to help the Palestinians.
Overall, an illustration that the Australian politicians and mainstream media are copying the UK in a) supporting the Israelis' genocide and b) denying Palestinians even the most basic of human rights.

Pro-Israelis are lobbying across Europe and the UK to derail Netflix deal
27 Jan 2026
FT.com published a piece on a letter written by a bunch to the CMA calling for an investigation of the Netflix deal. They appeared to be airing competition concerns but is that real or are they serving the pro-Israeli lobby? Ellison has been on a spree lobbying Europeans, so the timing of the letter is not a coincidence. My comment was published - see below:

Israelis continue to murder Palestinian journalists with impunity then CBS broadcasts their lies about it
26 Jan 2026
Grayzone published a piece about CBS News betraying one of its photograpers who was working in Gaza when he and two other journalists' car was bombed by the Israelis.
CBS parrotted the Israeli lie that he was working for Hamas. He was actually covering a story about a humanitarian organisation's festival.
"I've never seen a network sellout its reporter harder [than CBS}" said Blumenthal
To-date, at least 260 Palestinian journalists have been murdered by the Israelis. It is a brazen attempt to stop the world from seeing and learning about the Israelis' terror campaign in Palestine.

Trump and his of domestic terrorists must be impeached over ICE's murders
26 Jan 2026
Watch this brief opinion by a lawyer of the murder by Border Patrol and/or ICE agents of another Minnesotan. He has called for the impeachment of those responsible (Trump and Miller at least), an indication of how unacceptable their behaviour is.
Sycophant, Pam Bondi has called for (in a letter she sent to the Minnesota Governor) personal data of Minnesotans as a condition of removing ICE thugs from Minnesota. Her letter and offer have been described as being part of an extortion campaign and a ransom note.

Vile and morally bankrupt Suella Braverman

FT.com published news that Braverman has defected. In my opinion, she is a vile and morally bankrupt person. My FT comment about her was referred to a moderator, but was later published. Read it below. I mention her here because one of her many vile acts was to label marches in support of Palestinians as "hate marches".

Israelis' 'final solution' is not Hamas but ethnic cleansing of Palestine
23 Jan 2026
Finkelstein gave another concise and insightful analysis of the underlying final solution of the murderous Israelis (watch the Chris Hedges Report 23 Jan 2026, here). He dismissed the misinformation that the Israelis are concerned about Hamas.
"Hamas was a side show; Hamas was an irrelevance... Hamas is just a prop in the exterminatory enterprise [of the Israelis]"
The real goal of the Israelis? The ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The Israelis will do this either by forcing out the Palestinians or by exterminating them all.
Finkelstein made the contrast between Hitler's 'final solution' (the euphemism for exterminating jews) and the publicly-stated goal of the Israelis to ethnically cleanse Palestine, one way or another: "to stay and to starve, or to leave" said Finkelstein.
Finkelstein cites evidence the Israelis are focussed on getting rid of Palestinians and not Hamas: a) Netanyahu talks of: 'remember Amerlech' (referring to every man, woman, and child); the Israelis block, food, fuel, water, or electricity; the Israelis say they are going to make Gaza unliveable.
These Israeli actions and statements all show that Hamas is not the target of the Israelis. The Palestinian civilians are their target - to remove them from Palestine, by either starvation or forced displacement.
Finkelstein says the South Africans knew the Israelis' strategy way back in 2023 and that is why they wanted to prosecute them for genocide not for breaching the rules of war.

Israelis torture and sexually violate kidnapped Palestinians. UK government must take action to stop Israeli inhumanity
23 Jan 2026
Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC) asked me to sign a letter to Cooper, the UK Home Secretary to demand that Israel ends such torture. Even if she does act, and I don't think she will, I don't think her actions will have any influence on the inhumane Israelis.
PSC said:
""more than 9,000 Palestinian political prisoners remain in Israeli detention, including 350 children, facing systematic torture, sexual violence and ill-treatment.
For decades, Israel has used imprisonment as a tool of political repression against Palestinians, as a part of its apartheid system. Over the past two years, Israel has escalated its use of mass arbitrary arrest and detention as a part of the genocide in Gaza, imprisoning thousands of Palestinians in torture camps. This is being done in plain sight of Israel’s international allies, including the British government.
To make matters worse, Israel has repeatedly targeted Palestinian human rights organisations who document Israel’s torture of prisoners, especially when they have done so in the form of submissions of evidence to the International Criminal Court (ICC). As a result of its work with the ICC, the United States government has issued sanctions against the Palestinian organisation Addameer, the primary Palestinian human rights NGO advocating against torture and for the rights of prisoners. These attacks have severely impacted its ability to work, just at the time when it is most needed.
It is utterly shameful to silence the vital work of human rights organisations like Addameer, in the midst of such vast evidence of Israel’s human rights abuses...
The British government has responsibilities as a signatory to the Convention against Genocide and Torture, as well as the Geneva Conventions. It has acknowledged Israel’s grave violations of international law, including with respect to prisoners, and yet has failed to take any meaningful action to stop Israel’s grave violations of international law."

Finkelstein on how to defeat ICE thugs and genocidal Israelis
23 Jan 2026
Norman Finkelstein gives his recommendations on how to defeat ICE thugs and genocidal Israelis, in this video of the Chris Hodges Report on 23 Jan 2026:
1) defend the right to free speech-this is paramount. It includes the right of any person in the US to speak and to be heard in a trial by jury. With the right to have your say, the opposition can be defeated. I know of NSPM-7 and the Antifa orders to instil fear and silence opponents.
2) have more Mamdanis - today, I saw him confirm his stance on no investment in Israeli bonds, and he removed the definition that had effectively banned criticism of Israel.
3) show backbone, more backbone, and more backbone - citing Sumner's advice on how to stand up to the anti-abolitionists
4) organise - Mamdani said this in his speech. It is needed to fight back against the massive Israeli lobby and its mountains of money and its widespread infiltration and capture of so many organisations and politicians.
5) grow the number of supporters of democracy, equality, Palestinians and the rest
Finkelstein equates the ICE thugs wih bi-ped bloodhounds, the term used for the people who enforced the fugitive slave act. He says that ICE thugs are the modern day equivalent of these bi-ped bloodhounds.

1) defend the right to free speech-this is paramount. It includes the right of any person in the US to speak and to be heard in a trial by jury. With the right to have your say, the opposition can be defeated. I know of NSPM-7 and the Antifa orders to instil fear and silence opponents.
2) have more Mamdanis - today, I saw him confirm his stance on no investment in Israeli bonds, and he removed the definition that had effectively banned criticism of Israel.
3) show backbone, more backbone, and more backbone - citing Sumner's advice on how to stand up to the anti-abolitionists
4) organise - Mamdani said this in his speech. It is needed to fight back against the massive Israeli lobby and its mountains of money and its widespread infiltration and capture of so many organisations and politicians.
5) grow the number of supporters of democracy, equality, Palestinians and the rest

Mamdani reiterates: NO INVESTMENT IN ISRAELI BONDS
23 Jan 2026
Mamdani reiterated his stance - NO investment in Israeli bonds and so he rejected the wish of the NYC comptroller who has been itching to re-start investment in these bonds. Watch this 23 Jan TYT video and commentery showing Mamdami is showing he has a "backbone" and that he is one of the very few US politicians willing to stand up to the pro-Israelis.

A true Sikh would not side with inhumanity and the World Bank is another example of a rotten supranational

I checked FT and saw my post about Sikhs and Banga was still published, but not the one about the World Bank. I therefore tried again, and posted this version:

It is shameful that the FT has not published, or has removed, my two comments on 21 Jan about Ajay Banga and the World Bank's association with the shameless Trump board of peace (a disgraceful misnomer) (FT.com 21 Jan article link, here).
Today, I decided to re-post my comment about Banga, but decided at the last minute to cut out any ref to Banga this time, in case I would get in trouble for persisting with a post that had already been removed. My point was still effective.
I also re-posted today my comment on the World Bank's association with this shameless board, but a different version. See my re-posted comment. Time will tell if either one is allowed by the FT. The original posts that were blocked are also shown below.

US government creates laws to oppress dissent and free speech
23 Jan 2026
Majority Report published a video of anti-ICE protestors entering a church where a meeting was being held.
The protestors loudly told the congregation that the church's pastor was an agent of ICE and they emphasised the conflict of a man of god, a christian who supports the terror campaign of the ICE thugs that has resulted in multiple murders and immense physical and mental suffering and injury to innocent people who are coloured or who speak with an unusual (non-American) accent.
The pastor was not present at the time of the disruption. The Majority Report mentioned NSPM 7 - an order that attacks free speech and attempts to label and charge people as domestic terrorists; read an article on it, here.
The article says: "Under NSPM-7, the antifascist label can be attached to any of these types of people and groups and many more besides, giving the government maximum flexibility to pick and choose its targets." NSPM7 targets: “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.”
It's possible the government will therefore apply NSPM7 to the incident at the church. It was not in anyway an anti-Christian incident, but that won't stop the government and its legal puppet, Bondi and the DoJ saying it was anti-Christian.
The article notes that any charges are likely to be dismissed by a court, however: "in the process [of defending government charges made against individuals or organisations under the antifa or NSPM7 orders], many individuals and organizations will be vilified and harmed for their constitutionally protected activities and others will be muzzled as they fear the consequences of associating with or speaking up for groups that have been targeted. It is therefore likely the US government will use these orders to intimidate and instil the fear of prosecution of individuals and organisations who dare to speak out against the government. The effect will be to silence many dissenters.
Majority Report also showed a clip of a politician (Keith Self) saying the incident was a terrorist incident and he opportunistically slipped in a reference to compared the incident to Hamas. Majority Report reckoned he had mentioned Hamas to curry favour with the pro-Israeli lobby so they'd fund his political campaign.

Greenlanders give their views on Americans
22 Jan 2026
Watch this Kulinski video of an interview of a Greenlander (a politician) where she gives her views of American colonialism; their racism and white supremacy, and how Americans would treat Greenlanders (who are coloured).
The clip also shows people (Greenlanders or Danes) mimicking American drug addicts - meaning that is the American culture that Americans would bring if they invaded Greenland.
America has always been a terrorist state. Trump is a, and those around him are, racist domestic and international terrorist.
What respect the world had for American has been flushed down the toilet after witnessing the actions of Trump and his goons domestically and internationally.

UN's Independent Commission of Inquiry confirms genocide of Palestinians by Israelis
22 Jan 2025
There is so much evidence now of the genocide of Palestinians and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, yet still the disgusting Israelis continue and the world's leaders either support it or remain unmoved to stop it. They won't even admit it is a genocide; nor will the mainstream media.
Their silence and complicity is shameful and shocking.
I came across another video (by Double Down News) in which Chris Gunness provided evidence that the genocide committed by the Israelis meets 4 of the 5 criteria that define a genocide.
When he talked about "The newly published report by the UN's Independent Commission of Inquiry", he was referring to:
"Report of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel 14 September 2025"? (link). (This link has many UN reports on Palestine and Gaza; see them here).
I emailed Chris Gunness on 22 Jan and he replied to confirm he referring to the 14 Sep 2025 report.

How do pro-Israelis get US politicians to do their bidding?
22 Jan 2026
Watch these two enablers of genocide of Palestinians by Israelis dodge the direct question by the host about how these Israelis manage to get the US politicians they buy to do their bidding. The host asks what else they do other than contribute loads of money.
See how each one refuses to divulge their secrets. The guy says he is playing in a "legal" game, but Adelson says nothing. I am not sure what they actually do is legal, perhaps it is, perhaps not.
Perhaps these types used their methods and their money to make lawmakers change illegal to legal. Click here to hear Adelson refuse. Click here to listen to the guy. Click here to listen to them both together.
Note how the host was asking not to expose some dark and dirty secret these people have that gets politicians to do as they want (perhaps, in the case of Trump, they have some incriminating evidence that explains why he is their lapdog). They were speaking at an Israeli forum and he was encouraging others to do as these two have done, become activists. The sad fact is these future pro-Israeli activists will probably mean the deaths or oppression of thousands more innocent Palestinian people.

Donate to feed Palestinians in Gaza

Guy Christensen and HayaWashington organised a fundraiser to feed the people of Gaza.
[click here to go to the donation website and donate]
"It was created in solidarity and support with the millions of Palestinians in Gaza who are being starved en masse by the state of Israel.
Israel has restricted all food and aid from crossing into Gaza for the last 70 days, since March 2, 2025.
Dozens of children have been killed by starvation and malnutrition, while hundreds of thousands more are at risk of dying from hunger and lack of basic necessities like medicine."

Christensen shows it's Israel first in America, not America First
21 Jan 2026
Guy Christensen posted a video proving the US government is putting the interests of Israel above those of its citizens. He explained how states that boycott Israel (BDS movement) will lose government funding. He showed that although the law on funding and BDS was reworded so Israel was not mentioned, that rewording had no effect: states will lose funding if they allow BDS. It is a clear illustration of how the government is penalising its citizens and supporting the Israelis. That is not a strategy of America First but Israel first.

"Admit nothing; Deny everything; Counter accuse"

That is the mantra of the Trump regime and it is being applied by Trump's sycophants (including Vance and Noem) in defending the ICE shooter who murdered Good. It is also used by the genocidal Israelis. The mantra was shared by Anthony Aguilar on the Katie Halper video

Western leaders are in a frenzy over Trump and his pursuit of Greenland. Their frenzy is in stark contrast to how they reacted to Trump's crimes in other (non-western) parts of the world, revealing westerners' hypocrisy and double standards. I posted a comment on this - see image below:

Bondi the hypocrit has a student expelled for touching another person or their 'phone (see my post below), yet ICE thugs get away with violent attacks on civilians who are trying to record them or protesting peacefully.
This Pod Save America video tells of a coloured person being targetted and surrounded by ICE thugs because she was coloured.
They pointed a gun at her and knocked her 'phone away when she tried to record them. To de-escalate the incident, she relented and told them she was a police officer. Upon hearing that, the ICE thugs disappeared.
These thugs assaulted a person yet Bondi does not publicly condemn these thugs for their violence, yet brags about a student who touched a person or his phone.

False claim of antisemitism and ADL's lawfare to quell any criticism of Israel
20 Jan 2026
Breaking Points published a video showing the lawfare tactics of the pro-Israeli lobby in the US, the ADL, to prosecute anyone who criticises Israel.
The video also shows a cop going to a woman's home about a post which was not threatening nor offensive but was about a prominent person's stance on Israel and Palestinians. Note how the cop says the post might incite violence yet he has nothing to say about the stance of the prominent person mentioned in the post; his stance is more likely to incite violence. It illustrates the anti-Palestinian and pro-Israel double-standards held by law enforcement and by politicians, who are captured by the pro-Israeli lobby.
The video shows Bondi bragging - during a speech she was giving at an Israeli forum - that she had a student removed from a university for an incident she described as antisemitic. Many prominent people including the media also labelled the incident antisemitic, yet the charge and the verdict have no mention of "antisemitism", so their accusations of antisemitism were false and mischievous.
Media reporting and various prominent people, portrayed this incident as antisemitic (see this link for a Jul 2025 article), yet the verdict and the charge (in Jan 2026) do not mention antisemitism, only "accosting" a person.
This 08 Jan 2026 article of the verdict has the headline:
FSU student expelled after viral 'antisemitic harassment' incident
but the verdict does not mention antisemitism. The person was charged with "accosting" and "battery".
"A Florida State University student agreed to be expelled and banned from campus as part of a deferred prosecution agreement after she was charged with accosting a Jewish student wearing an Israel Defense Forces T-shirt." The same article says:
"Two weeks later, the student was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor battery for intentionally touching or striking the victim against his will." (link).
Why does the headline above mention "antisemitic" when the charge does not? Why does the article mention the person accosted was Jewish? The fact that he is Jewish is of no relevance to the charge. He was not spoken to by the expelled student because he was Jewish, but because he was wearing an IDF t-shirt.
The reporting of this incident is biased and unfair. The prominent people, including Bondi, who publicly portrayed this incident and this student as being antisemitic were spreading misinformation and falsely using the charge of antisemitism. The expelled student said to the person wearing the IDF t-shirt:
"[Expletive] Israel, free Palestine," the student says as she appears to bump the man or bat the phone away. "Put it on [expletive] Barstool FSU, I really don't give a [expletive]. You're an ignorant [expletive] son of a [expletive]."
There is nothing antisemitic in those words.
Note how these people are equating criticism of Israel as being antisemitic.
Here is a video of the incident. The student expelled did hit the student and so it is reasonable and right to charge her with some form of assault.

Michael Gove exemplifies European double standards and hypocrisy over Trump's global imperialism
19 Jan 2026
Disgusting Michael Gove in this video likened Trump's behaviour over Greenland to a comic book "villain". Gove had no such words when Trump kidnapped Maduro, bombed Iran, and committed genocide of Palestinians and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The double-standards of Gove mimic the double-standards of the Europeans.
Notice how European leaders are running around like corporal Jones in a panic over Trump's threats about Greenland. These are the same people who either looked the other way or actively supported Trump the terrorist in his genocide of Palestinians, his kidnapping of Maduro, his bombing of Iran, and his murders of people in boats off the coast of Venezuela, to name just a handful of his crimes. Macron invites him to a meal to sit down and talk about Greenland. See below an image of an extract of his message to Trump. Where was Macron's invitation to sit down with Trump and talk about the genocide of thousands of Palestinians? An extract of a 20 Jan 2026 article on Time.com shows Trump offering to buy Greenland off Denmark or else take it by force, and his economic warfare using tariffs on those countries that oppose him.

Hypocrtical Europeans realise they need to stand on their own feet.

A long interview by Breaking Points of Jeffrey Sachs. He gave a sincere and blistering personal opinion of Trump's behaviour and what it means for countries across the world. Sachs reveals what has been known for decades, that the US has waged war on many countries for decades, that the Europeans have been spineless subservient serfs of US imperialism and dominance but they are now having to take action because he has gone too far over Greenland.
Note the rank hypocrisy of these Europeans - happy to support Trump in his regime change in Venezuela and his illegal kidnapping of Maduro, and complicit in his genocide of Palestinians, but calling him out for his threat to invade Greenland. The impotent Europeans are threatening the US with economic sanctions (a bazooka) if Trump invades Greenland.
Sachs said Britian was the most delusional and subservant country and has been so for many decadesand for many decades. He mocked the British for saying what Trump is doing over Greenland is "unacceptable" "By British standards, that is quite remarkable"
He said the idea of the pathetic board of peace being an alternative to the UN Security Council, was absurd. BP mentioned the brazen 'pay to play' ploy used by Trump was to enrich himself by charging $1bn for any member that was on the board of peace for more than three terms.

Petition to ban UK Arms fair that supports Israeli atrocities in Palestine
19 Jan 2026
Palestinian Support Campaign (PSC) sent an email today asking me to sign a petition calling on the UK government to ban an event that supports Israeli genocide of Palestinians.
PSC said:
"The event will be attended by representatives of dozens of arms companies providing Israel with weaponry used to kill and maim Palestinians. Arms fairs like this one are crucial to the UK-Israel arms trade. They must be opposed. Sign our petition to demand that the British government cancels the event as part of imposing a full arms embargo on Israel."

Trump the terrorist invites other terrorists to preside with him on the future of Gaza, but no invitation to a Palestinian

Pleased to see my comment was published - see image below.
19 Jan 2026
FT.com published a piece about Trump's invitation to terrorists and autocrats, including Putin and others, to sit on his pathetically-named board of peace.
I posted a comment but it was immediately referred to a moderator ("Your comment has been submitted and will be reviewed by a moderator"). I said:
"No respectable human being would dignify Trump's invitation with a reply, let alone accept it.
Palestinians must be allowed to exercise their inalienable right to self-determination of their land and their future."
I had consciously watered-down my FT comment. I could have chosen far sharper words - "these people are terrorists and yet they strut around with an air of self-importance. They get away with it because they control the weapons and the paid henchmen who do their bidding. As human beings, these warmongers are the lowest form. Part of their inhumanity is their deliberate exclusion of Palestinians from excercising their right to self-determination and the exclusion of Palestinians from the discussions on their future and the future of Palestine."

I came across a few very hard-hitting videos that expose appalling inhumanity.
Sale of stolen Palestinian land in a jewish place of religion
One was a video by Katie Halper of people in the USA offering for sale stolen Palestinian land located in the West Bank. Worse, the sale was taking place in a place where jews go for religious purposes. The sale was an illegal event yet no action appears to have been taken to charge and prosecute the offenders. Mamdani only spoke against the sale activity after he was questioned on it, but he did condemn the Palestinian rally for its chants about Hamas (the rally that took place outside the religious place where the sale was being held)..
Disgusting US politician, AOC, posted a tweet saying the holding of a rally outside the religious place was "antisemitic". That is absurd because the rally was not targetting the jews or their religion, but the sale of stolen Palestinian land occurring in that religious place. It is therefore right, legitimate, and reasonable to speak out against that illegal and inhumane sale outside the property where it took place.
I am coming to believe that Bernie Sanders and AOC are not really against Israeli inhumanity; it's superficial and fake. AOC should have been condemning the illegal sale in a place of religion. It was ill-advised to be chanting a Hamas slogan at the rally; that gave opponents a reason to condemn the protestors and it deflected from the real reason why the protest took place.
ICE deploying IDF tactics against US people
Another Katie Halper video shows a former US soldier point out the similarities of what ICE did to Good who was murdered by an ICE agent, to what IDF does in Palestine. Not surprising given both collaborate on tactics.
Harrassment of pro-Palestinians was unconstitutional and a conspiracy
A TYT video showed US government harrassment of pro-Palestinian protestors condemned by a US federal judge. Note how that judge is now likely to be harrassed for doing his job as a judge. It is shocking and injust that a person who merely writes an article in support of Palestinians is hounded and denied their rights, and that the scumbag Rubio decides himself and on a whim who gets harrassed and detained and who is not. That is not following due process; that is thuggery at the highest level of US government.
TYT also exposed the rank hypocrisy of Turning Point USA - a group designed to speak up in support of attacks on freedom of speech on campuses, yet it has been silent on the unconstitutional attacks on pro-Palestinian students who exercised their right of free speech and assaulted and detained. "These people are absolutely massive, historic grade, hypocrits" said TYT of Turning Point USA.
Renee Good's murderer was not injured; she had a pulse but ICE refused help for her by a physician
A video by Alison Gill exposed the fake information spewed by CBS News and Trump about the shooter bleeding internally or being injured. Nor did he go to hospital as Noem and Trump said. All lies by the government and their supporters.
Gill says Good had a pulse - she was alive when paramedics arrived. Gills says that a doctor on the scene before paramedics arrived, was denied access by ICE to help Good. He might have saved her life but ICE blocked him and ICE said "I don't care" when the doctor said he is a "physician" offering to help.
Gill says the government is looking for an excuse in Minnesota to invoke the insurrection act and unleash the military. She said they won't use the Good murder to invoke the Insurrection Act because that would mean they'd have to disclose evidence of that murder and they don't want to do that because they are protecting Ross.
I came across a few very hard-hitting videos that expose appalling inhumanity.
Sale of stolen Palestinian land in a jewish place of religion
One was a video by Katie Halper of people in the USA offering for sale stolen Palestinian land located in the West Bank. Worse, the sale was taking place in a place where jews go for religious purposes. The sale was an illegal event yet no action appears to have been taken to charge and prosecute the offenders. Mamdani only spoke against the sale activity after he was questioned on it, but he did condemn the Palestinian rally for its chants about Hamas (the rally that took place outside the religious place where the sale was being held)..
Disgusting US politician, AOC, posted a tweet saying the holding of a rally outside the religious place was "antisemitic". That is absurd because the rally was not targetting the jews or their religion, but the sale of stolen Palestinian land occurring in that religious place. It is therefore right, legitimate, and reasonable to speak out against that illegal and inhumane sale outside the property where it took place.
I am coming to believe that Bernie Sanders and AOC are not really against Israeli inhumanity; it's superficial and fake. AOC should have been condemning the illegal sale in a place of religion. It was ill-advised to be chanting a Hamas slogan at the rally; that gave opponents a reason to condemn the protestors and it deflected from the real reason why the protest took place.

I republished but it was referred to a moderator. I rewrote a similar post but that also was referred to a moderator. Both are shown below (the original and the second one).

CBS News exaggerating Iranian death toll to persuade Trump to invade Iran and force a regime change.
17 Jan 2026
Israelis have admitted to funding protests in Iran. They want regime change. CBS - the platform run by pro-Israeli fanatics - is supporting the Israelis in that goal by spreading false information to persuade Trump to intervene militarily in Iran.
CBS has exaggerated the death toll from Iranian protests. Most reports put the toll at around 2-3000, yet CBS claims it is at least 12000 and says it coud be as many as 20,000. It cites "sources" that provided those figures, but no details.
Greenwald highlights in his video the hypocrisy of Americans who on the one hand are supporting genocide by the US and the Israelis in Palestine and on the other showing concern about the welfare of Iranian civilians and who are saying the toll is 20,000. In other words, figures are being spread that are exaggerrated.
These influencers' concern for Iranian civilians is fake and a pretext to persuading Trump to militarily intervene in Iran for regime change. The video shows a jew interviewing Trump and brazenly citing inflammatory data such as thousands of deaths and hangings and crossing the red line to intervene in Iran. Trump challenged the data and did not take the bait.
Greenwald warns of the danger of acting on false information and calls out the pro-Israelis in the US for spreading it. especially CBS. Greenwald mentions it is not just the pro-Israelis exaggerating the figures and thereby inciting instability and regime change in Iran, but also the Saudis.

FT.com complicit in supporting investment in Israeli bonds
17 Jan 2026
FT.com published a piece today on a guy (Levine) who manages the investments of NY City who might invest in Israeli bonds, which would be against the wishes of NY Mayor, Mamdani.
FT did not allow comments on this article, so I looked up the guy who made some comments in the article, Christensen. I wanted to let him know I was offended by what he said or what he did not say. My email to him on 17 Jan is reproduced below.
Not once did the article mention genocide or ethnic cleansing or crimes against humanity. Instead it focussed entirely on the justification for investing in bonds because the yield on them is attractive. “My fiduciary responsibility is to make investment decisions based on that record of performance.” Levine said. No mention of whether his fiduciary duty includes ethical considerations, such as: is the borrower committing genocide or ethnic cleansing? The answer is no because this guy added:
"there was a need to separate investment decisions from political considerations." i.e., to ignore whatever the genocidal borrower that issued these bonds is doing and concentrate solely on the financial return on their bonds.
Using the justification given by this guy to invest in Israeli bonds, he would also invest in bonds issued by Nazi Germany during its genocide of jews in WWII, because they have an attractive return.
The FT must be censured for not allowing comments on this article. I did send FT an email criticising their decision to prevent comments.
Blocking comments in effect gives free rein to these people to justify investing in the bonds of an apartheid state that is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing and for no one to challenge what they are saying to the audience. It is also revealing no one was quoted who was against the investment, other than Mamdani, It is regrettable Mamdani did not respond about the article. The guy they did include, Christensen, gave a pathetic and insignificant comment because it did not address genocide and ethnic cleansing.
A relevant point made by Levine was his fund invests in Treasury bonds. The US government is a terrorist state that is committing war crimes and is a partner with the Israelis in genocide and ethnic cleansing. It is terrororising countries in the Middle East and Greenland. It is terrorising its own people (immigrants of colour who live and work in the USA). There is as much, and probably more, justification for all fund managers to also divest from investments in any US government debt.

Reprobate Mike Pompeo calls for history to ignore Palestinian "casualties" and record Israelis as the "victims"
15 Jan 2026
Novara Media posted a video that responded to Mike Pompeo's warning on how to record the history of the events of the last few years in Palestine. He was speaking at an Israeli organisation.
"We need to make sure that the story is told properly so that when the history books write this, they don't write about the victims of Gaza, right?...There were victims in Gaza, right? There it's it's true. Um there are civilian casualties in every war that's ever been fought, but the victims were the people of the nation state of Israel. uh though that the aggressor was the Iranian regime in the proxy of Hamas and we need to make sure that the history books reflect that and that requires each of us every day to talk about it in real time with our children with our grandchildren about it in a way that is serious and thoughtful and complete and moral."
In other words, this reprobate is saying to historians: though there were Palestinian civilian "casualties", ignore them and just record the victims in your books as "the people of the nation state of Israel". No record to be made in the history books of the tens of thousands (probably hundreds of thousands) of Palestinian men, women, and children murdered by the Israelis.

Pro-Israeli lobbyists and their political poodles reignite the false antisemitic claim about banned violent Maccabi thugs
15 Jan 2026
The Maccabi football match in Birmingham, in which the violent racist thugs from Israel were banned, has hit the national media headlines again. The controversy has been reignited after a police investigation into the conduct of the West Midlands Police (WMP) found WMP had made multiple errors in its report to the committee that decided to ban the violent racist thugs from attending the match.
Novara Media in its video noted, and I agree, that the underlying ratioale behind WMP recommending the ban, was unchanged even after the errors were highlighted, i.e., the right decision was made to ban these thugs.
Novara also discussed why this insignificant and pathetically minor football match (the Home Sec said the game was of national importance, which is pathetically absurd and false) has had so much national media coverage and why the PM have been so vocal and critical about it. It is simply because of the Israeli lobby is claiming the ban is antisemitic, which it is not.
As a result of the WMP errors, insignificant though they are, the Home Sec has called for the resignation of the WMP chief and has called for the Home Sec to assume the right to sack a senior policeman.
Why the heavy-handed reaction by this Home Sec? Because UK politicians have been bought, and are controlled by, the pro-Israelis and they are saying the ban is antisemitic. The captured politicians are repeating that false claim.
The video showed a clip of the committee of politicians investigating the decision to ban. It revealed the majority (perhaps 6 of the 8 members) were all connected with Israel either through donations or they were "friends of Israel". It was almost entirely comprised of pro-Israel supporters and agents.

UKLFI reprobates have been formally reported to the regulator of barristers for their misconduct
15 Jan 2026
I came across a Flintoff video in which he interviewed UK barrister Abdurahman Jafar. Jafar explains why he filed a professional misconduct complaint to the Bar Standards Board (BSB) against three barristers linked to UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI): Natasha Hausdorff, Jonathan Turner and Brian Doctor KC (mug shots below).
Hausdorff is a notorious jew (often seen in the media) because of her unwavering and rabid support for the Israeli regime. She has no qualms about its depravity and inhumanity over Palestine. Having read this complaint, she is also notorious for being a liar and for her maliciousness.
Jafar's 30-page complaint against these three is worth reading for multiple reasons. One is it has a lot of references to evidence of crimes committed by the Israelis and of their inhumanity and depravity towards Palestinians. Another, is it documents the evidence against these three people and includes what they have actually uttered.
These three (UKLFI) falsely claimed the evidence used by the ICC to issue warrants against Israeli war criminals Netanyahu and Gallant was false. UKLFI's claim is itself false simply because they have not seen the ICC evidence. Their claim that the evidence if false is therefore "knowingly misleading".
"UKLFI’s claims that Karim Khan’s ICC application is based on false information is thoroughly and objectively dishonest."
The complaint says: "It is simply untruthful [for UKLFI] to say “the chief paediatrician of Kamal Adwan hospital, … said that the cause of death in “these cases [34 deaths] was not lack of food or water, but intestinal infections”.
"The Respondents’ reckless denial of genocide allegations may perpetuate harm to the Palestinian population, exacerbating an ongoing humanitarian crisis...[The Respondents' denial of genocide in Gaza] assists the continuation of actual ongoing atrocities against current and new victims, most of whom are women and children... The Respondent’s in denying the man made starvation of Gaza Palestinian is discriminatory, racist and seriously offensive."
A sickeningly insensitive comment by Turner - where he claimed "that the siege of Gaza increased the
life expectancy of Palestinians because they were obese prior to October 2023." Turner's comment "constitutes seriously offensive dehumanization of Palestinians, implying their suffering is a beneficial outcome of Israel’s siege."
The complaint highlights the trickery of these Respondents (the UKLFI three) in using the expected integrity and truthfulness of lawyers, to spread misinformation and lies and trick readers and listeners to think what they say must all be true because they are lawyers. The same principle of professional trust and integrity applies to what "doctors" say: it is assumed, because they are doctors, that what they say is fact. "trust me, I'm a doctor". The complaint says of Hausdorff's dishonesty:
"It is apparent to anyone watching NH’s appearances that she is less than truthful and her only claim to legitimacy, as she always reminds the viewer, is that she is only acting as an independent member of the Bar who it is assumed must tell the truth. NH is using her profession to gain legitimacy for widely discredited Israeli justifications for abuses and for the purpose of bringing detriment to Karim Khan
KC, Palestinians and the rule of law. "
The complaint notes: "UKLFI misuse disciplinary procedures to lodge disciplinary complaints to regulators against professionals who criticise Israel or support Palestinian rights" Multiple health workers have been targetted by these Israeli supporters and they try to destroy their careers simply because they have criticised the israelis for their crimes against Palestinians. Watch this Declassified video of a medic hounded by UKLFI to silence him. Note their depraved tactic of attrition (lawfare) - to break him financially and spiritually.
I have no doubt Jafar is right to complain about these three disgusting people. If the BSB upholds the principles of fairness and justice and the codes of conduct for barristers, then these three must be disciplined and censured, if not disbarred. They are a disgrace to the legal profession and to decent jews.

Turncoat US politician refuses to admit Israel is committing genocide then admits it just days later
14 Jan 2026
Watch this Majority Report video of a politician in the US trying to replace the outgoing Pelosi. Since the genocide began, this guy has been anti-Palestinian, including trying to oust a university president who listened to, and cooperated with, university pro-Palestinian activists. He also lobbied against a ceasefire and has been on a trip to Israel and met the war criminal who is president of the terrorist apartheid state, Israel. It is clear where his sympathies and suport lie. He is also a jew.
In the clip by Majority Report, this guy and two other candidates for the seat were asked "Is Israel; committing genocide in Gaza?" A simple yes or no. Guess who refused to say "yes"? (see image below).
3-5 days days later, after pressure, he published a clip saying Israel is committing genocide - a reversal of his earlier stance. He gave a long-winded explanation for his "hesitation" in saying Israel was committing genocide, however Seder pointed out that "hesitation" means a short interval after which the person does what they hesitated to do moments earlier. This guy did not "hesitate"; he refused to say yes and only flipped after "pushback". In other words, his saying Israel is committing a genocide is a political move-to survive politically.

Domestic and international terrorist, Trump, calls for "humanity" - the hypocrit! More FT.com bias over USA terrorism
28 Jan 2026
Watch this video that exposes the hypocrisy of the US administration. Rubio squirms when asked what the US would do if Venezuela did to the US what Rubio and his warmonering colleagues did to Maduro and Venezuela - i.e., if Venezuela attacked the US and kidnapped the US president. Of course the US would see it as an act of war, yet Rubio insists that what the US did was not an act of war, but it clearly was. Rubio is arguing, falsely, that the kidnapping was law enforcement not war and so Congress was not contacted for approval.
The host concludes that these warmongers get away with their hypocrisy and their crimes when they are on partisan TV shows and sitting in their political offices, but their arguments fall apart and their lies are exposed, when they are subjected to direct one-on-one questions where they are under the spotlight and they cannot (though they still try) to deflect such questions with rhetoric and more lies.

FT.com published a piece with the headline:
"Donald Trump warns Iran to ‘show humanity’ or face ‘very strong action’"
The hypocrisy of this terrorist is cringeing to read. He terrorises and murders US people (one of his ICE thug murdered a US woman peacefully protesting in Minnesota) and terrorises internationally (for example, he has murdered Palestinians in partnership with the Israelis and is ethnically cleansing Palestine).
He now calls for humanity from the Iranian regime. It might be his excuse for launching yet another regime change attempt - he has already tried this on Venezuela and illegally kidnapped its leader. He added:
"They’ve got to show humanity. They’ve got a big problem and I hope they’re not going to be killing people.” just like Trump's ICE thugs have murdered, violently kidnapped, incarcerated and deported US people.
Trump also said "whom [Iranian protestors] he vowed this month to “rescue” from regime violence." How hyporitrical of him to defend protestors in Iran but not protestors in the USA who protest against the violence and terrorism of his ICE thugs.
Trump said on his propaganda platform (inaccurately called "Truth Social"): “KEEP PROTESTING” and “TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!”
Trump is inciting civil unrest and regime change. Any decent "humane" politician would instead call for calm and peaceful protest. Trump's remarks are reminiscent of the Jan uprising and violence witnessed in the US capital over the presidential election result.
Not surprisiungly, Trump's incitement was condemned by the Iranians who said Trump's incitement was a: "“reckless statement [that] explicitly encourages political destabilisation and invites violence”,
How disgusting and cowardly of the FT to describe the kidnap of Maduro as: "he [Trump] authorised a military operation in Venezuela to capture its strongman President Nicolás Maduro. In stating "capture" instead of "kidnap", the FT has avoided censuring Trump and admitting he committed a criminal act.
Watch this video that exposes the hypocrisy of the US administration. Rubio squirms when asked what the US would do if Venezuela did to the US what Rubio and his warmonering colleagues did to Maduro and Venezuela - i.e., if Venezuela attacked the US and kidnapped the US president. Of course the US would see it as an act of war, yet Rubio insists that what the US did was not an act of war, but it clearly was. Rubio is arguing, falsely, that the kidnapping was law enforcement not war and so Congress was not contacted for approval.

FT.com shows its bias for the terrorist state, the USA
14 Jan 2026
FT.com published another biased piece - biased because they did not have the courage to state facts themselves and instead hid behind unnamed analysts' words. See my comment below. Like a lot of my previous comments, this too might be removed. I was therefore cautious about my choice of words. It is relevant to mention this article here because a) it illustrates FT biased reporting (favouring yet again the USA) and ity shows the USA is a terrorist state, inflicting harm not only in Palestine but in many other regions across the world, but noticeable, less so in the west.

Telegraph's misreporting of an MP who was not allowed on school grounds
13 Jan 2026
Owen Jones posted a video today of false claims of antisemitism because a school did not allow a pro-Israel MP from visiting a school (his visit has been postponed). The reason for not allowing him on the premises is his support for the Israelis - who are committing genocide and ethnic cleansing - through his membership of LFI (Labour Friends of Israel).
The disgustingly pro-Israel and anti-Palestine reporting by a mainstream newspaper is shameful, as is the false claim the MP was not allowed on school grounds because he is a Jew. Jones points out that such false antisemitism by the pro-Israel faction, is putting Jews at risk of harm.
Jones also points out that the people who called for the MP not to visit the school, face harrassment and legal action to get them sacked, just because they opposed an MP for his support of and connections to,. an organisation that supports atrocities being committed by the Israelis.

Hey Kulinski, "Off the reservation" is offensive language
13 Jan 2026
Kulinski says a lot of good things to condemn the domestic and international terrorists that are running the USA, but today in one of his videos he made the mistake of using an offensive phrase "off the reservation"
It is regrettable that he should use this term. Perhaps he was not thinking before uttering it (over-excited and animated).
I tried to contact him but was not able to find his email address or a contact form.

Mamdani removes unacceptable definition of antisemitism and removes the ban on BDS of Israel - hooray to both
12 Jan 2026
This guy's video highlights the unacceptable clauses in the definition of antisemitism. It is the definition that Mamdani has removed. He also removed the ban on BDS, again to the consternation of the Israelis.
He also crticises the Israelis for banning aid and medical organisations, and the murder of a Palestinian child shot in the head while in a 'safe zone'.
He highlights that the genocide and ethnic cleansing continues even though the media is not covering it as much.

Support for incarcerated British hunger strikers - EDM 2573
09 Jan 2026
PSC asked me to write to my MP about the hunger strikers, again. I did so. See attached letter here that I signed and submitted on 09 Jan 2026. PSC added:
"I’m writing with an urgent update on the situation of two imprisoned activists associated with Palestine Action. Heba Muraisi is on day 67 of her hunger strike, and Kamran Ahmed is on day 60. They are protesting over the repressive and inhumane conditions of their detention, and Britain’s complicity in Israel’s war crimes against the Palestinian people. Their health has been deteriorating rapidly and they are now at grave risk of death. Every hour their situation grows more severe.
Despite public outcry, the government has as yet refused to meet with the families or legal representatives of the prisoners. John McDonnell MP has tabled an Early Day Motion in Parliament demanding that the government urgently meet with their representatives. Join us in writing to your MP to call on them to sign EDM 2573 in urgent support of the hunger strikers.
Palestinian people, on top of its ongoing illegal occupation and apartheid. It is those responsible for the deaths of over 70,000 Palestinians, and the British politicians and companies arming Israel, who should be brought to justice. Instead, Starmer’s government has chosen to target those who dare to protest against genocide.
One day, history will condemn all those who enabled this horrific genocide, as well as those responsible for repressing those who dissent. Please email your MP and ask them to take a stand on the side of justice."

Crockett's double standards on display
08 Jan 2026
I stumbled across this video of disgusting Jasmine Crockett apparently shedding tears over the murder of Minnesotan by ICE agent. I did not watch any more of the video after seeing her in that state because I find her to be a disgusting person for her support of the Israelis even though they are committing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
She has shown her double standards and that she is a hypocrit, standing up for law on the one hand yet on the other, failing to speak out against Israelis committing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
She says, apparently in tears: "a child has lost her mom" (or something to that effect). I wonder whether Crockett showed the same feelings for the thousands of Palestinian children who have been orphaned by the Israelis murdering their mothers and fathers. I suspect not. Perhaps her tears and feelings were fake and insincere, and just a stunt to get attention. I don't trust her.

Trump and his lapdogs show their inhumanity and their dishonesty
12 Jan 2026
Watch this video of ICE agent thugs threatening people just for following them in a car, or attacking them just for recording an ICE agent.
The guy who was recording the agent was attacked by an agent and then around 8 goons piled on top of him, and he was later released without charge, i.e., these goons have nothing to charge people so, as the co-host said, what these ICE thugs are doing is attacking and kidnapping innocent people and later releasing them without charge.
The video shows a clip of a latino person being attacked, kidnapped and bundled into a van. When he proved his innocence (he is a citizen), they "tortured him", seriously injuring him - so much so that he was crying, bleeding, and in pain. It shows these scum are violent scum who are terrorising people, threatening them.
12 Jan 2026
Watch this Kulinski video of the shooter. It confirms the goon shot the woman twice through the door, i.e., from the side (he was out of harm's way). There is no way this goon can defend his actions. The video also shows the murderer has a gofundme account that the vile Meg Kelly is promoting it. The equally vile Bill Ackman has donated $10,000 to the murderer (read the article here).
Ackman said: "An officer doing his best to do his job, and a protester who likely did not intend to kill the officer but whose actions in a split second led to her death." How does Ackman know the murderer was "doing his best to do his job"? It is completely false. Evidence and professional commentary says he was out of order doing what he did.
12 Jan 2026
Yet another video commentary by a lawyer, on the murder of the woman. The video taken by the shooter was leaked deliberately to the media, probably to defend the shooter. Note also the statute that says the shooter must provide aid to the person shot. He hardly did this and actually left in a car very soon after his shooting. Other ICE agents might be liable because they blocked a doctor from giving aid and also the aid that was given was impeded. The lawyer says the video might be enough to prosecute the shooter, even if the FBI refuses to share its evidence with Minnesota authorities.
10 Jan 2026
Watch this video of a Minnesotan guy who has coloured skin and an accent that is different from your typical white American drawl, and that is why the white ICE agent asks the coloured guy for his ID - because his accent is atypical. He refuses because the agent is not a police officer.
10 Jan 2026
More video evidence that the ICE agent who shot the woman is a murderer. Clear evidence his shots were unjustified. Listen and read what is said in this video. It's important to grasp the meaning of what these ICE thugs are doing and their backgrounds - many are motivated thugs with a record of crime and violence. Many are untrained, indisciplined, and they are racists. Read what ICE said to a man they detained:
"Well, you're white, you won't be any fun, anyway. You can get out of the car [the response by ICE to the man after he refused to give his ID to ICE. Earlier, an ICE agent had pointed a gun in his face because the man was chanting and whistling and he was then handcuffed and detained in a car by ICE]" ICE
Note how the divisiveness into red and blue states, i.e., the republicans vs the democrats. The violence is focussed by Trump on blue states.
09 Jan 2026
The bodycam of the guy who murdered the woman appeared online today (see it here). Today, I also came across this excellent video and analysis of the murder by a lawyer. He did not know of the bodycam video online at the time of his analysis but was keen to see it. He says in his video analysis that the shooter was out of harm's way before he fired the first shot at the woman. He points to the shooter's feet and his body at the time of his first shot.
Even if he'd been in harm's way (in front of the car) the lawyer says the car was moving at just 5mph so shooting in self defence was disproportionate to the speed of the car. Even if he'd been hit at 5mph the damage was not life-threatening. His conclusion is 2nd degree murder (max 40 years). He also says the shooter is unlikely to get an impartial and objective jury as the jury will be made of 12 people from the town where she was murdered so it's likely most or all of those jurors will have no sympathy for ICE agents accused of murder. I sent him a link to the bodycam footage via his website contact form.
08 Jan 2026
The murdered woman is a mother of three children (the youngest is 6). The disgusting FBI has blocked an investigation by the Minnesotan authorities either on their own or in conjunction with the FBI. The Minnesotans cannot bring a prosecution without the evidence that the FBI holds but is refusing to share. This rejection of the minnesotans strongly suggests that the FBI will not conduct a fair and full investigation and that justice will not be served. A Civil prosecution can be initiated by Minnesota regardless of the FBI.
Link to video of Minnesota governor with an update. The governor implored Minnesotans to resist provocation by the ICE thugs as they try to incite violent reaction.
This video shows that these ICE thugs are given $50000 signing-on bonuses by Trump, and they are untrained and inexperienced. Some of these ICE agents are violent scum. Like cowards, almost all cover their faces. They parade in combat gear with their weapons as though they were in a real war with real enemies, but instead they terrorise women, and children in schools, and they pepper spray people's faces (peaceful protestors just standing). Only violent scum would behave in this way towards peaceful citizens. People of colour are afraid to venture outdoors for fear of being kidnapped by these thugs, yet they need to work to eat and pay rent and other basic necessities. Life for these people is grim.
This video shows the woman's car turning and the ICE shooter puts his arm out and his left hand on the left side of the front of the car. He was not hit by the woman so was not in harm's way. He had no justification to shoot at her. The first ICE agent (who tried to open her door) had disengaged from trying to open the door (see first angle) so he too was not threatened (the guy commenting on the video says the shooter could have shot at the women to save the first ICE agent from harm, but I don't think that is justifiable because the first agent was not in harm's way).
07 Jan 2026
Today, I saw a video of a woman murdered by an ICE agent. It was murder because he had no legal justification to shoot her (three shots). According to a prosecutor who saw videos of what took place, he thinks there is a case of "criminal homicide" against this guy by the victim's family. See him in his own video giving his opinion - he thinks it is a crime.
The reason for mentioning this story here is because it exemplifies Trump the liar and also exemplifies Noem (head of DHS) to be a liar. See the statements issued by Trump and DHS and watch Noem spew her lies. (video) She actually referred to the victim as a domestic terrorist. Listen to this video of Vance lie about the victim and defend ICE. See how he twists the truth and claim the woman was ramming the agent-which is false. Compare their words to what is seen in the video. The domestic terrorists are the ICE agents and the politicians such as Trump and Noem and Miller who authorise such thuggery and defend murder.
Their response to this murder of a woman is another illustration of their inhumanity and their lack of decency and integrity. They are liars who twist the truth. The victims of their inhumanity and their lies are in Palestine; in Iran; in Lebanon; in Venezuela; and today, in Minneapolis.

UK government's double standards over Maduro and Netanyahu shows it is pro-Israel and pro-US imperialism, and the BBC is its lapdog
07 Jan 2026
I have steered clear of watching the events of the kidnap of Maduro. It is so surreal to see a country that presumably has an army and a police force, and a guy who is surrounded 24/7 by personal armed guards, let a bunch of Americans fly in and kidnap him and his wife then let them fly him out to the US and then charge him for drug trafficking, just weeks after the same US government pardoned a drug trafficker. If that were a movie, it would be slammed as absurd and incredible, yet that is what happened according to what is getting into the media.
The truth might never be known or only after years. I think it is best to let the media have its field day and print reams of articles and hours of videos, because it is their job to write and to talk, whether it's true or not is irrelevant.
I've mentioned some pieces below for their connection to Israelis and so the Palestinians:
US poodles Starmer and Cooper, along with other UK government ministers, refused to admit, when questioned directly, that Trump violated International law when he invaded and kidnapped Maduro. Cooper justified the kidnap because Maduro was under investigation by ICC "for crimes against humanity". Declassified cited her double standards:
Cooper cited an ICC investigation (not even an arrest warrant) to justify an armed US invasion and kidnapping of Maduro.
Neither Cooper nor other ministers would apply the same principle and invade Israel and kidnap Netanyahu, even though he has commiitted genocide and ethnic cleansing and even though there is an arrest warrant issued by the ICC for his arrest.
Declassified also highlighted UK governments' complicity in effecting regime change: supporting the pathetic claim of a guy (Guido) to be the genuine president of Venezuela; freezing $billions of Venezuelan gold even refusing to release the gold for humanitarian aid during Covid. The UK government also conspired to deal in Venezuelan oil post-Maduro.
Declassified also highlighted how BBC editors (see image below) were telling journos NOT to use the word "kidnap" in relation to the kidnap of Maduro, but to instead use "seize" or "capture". This deliberate down-playing of the facts chimes with my observation of the FT down-playing the horrific acts of Trump (see my FT comments on 20 Dec 2025, below). This instruction by BBC editors exposes the BBC as a lackey for the UK government which is a lackey for the US.
Declassified also exposed the double standards of the US government. It is indicting Maduro on trumped-up charged of drug trafficking, yet only weeks ago Trump pardoned and released a Honduran criminal jailed for doing just that, trafficking drugs. According to declassified, the US are not concerned about the drugs entering the US but they are concerned about controlling the people who traffic those drugs.
It is interesting to see how Declassified sum-up the US foreign policy: it is telling the Russians and the Chinese that it, the US, controls its backyard (Latin America); it is telling left-wing governments in Latin America to be warned of US interference; and it is taking Venezuela for its oil not because it wants democracy in Venezuela. Declassified also showed the UK is complicit in US imperialism.

Cooper cited an ICC investigation (not even an arrest warrant) to justify an armed US invasion and kidnapping of Maduro.
Neither Cooper nor other ministers would apply the same principle and invade Israel and kidnap Netanyahu, even though he has commiitted genocide and ethnic cleansing and even though there is an arrest warrant issued by the ICC for his arrest.
Declassified also highlighted UK governments' complicity in effecting regime change: supporting the pathetic claim of a guy (Guido) to be the genuine president of Venezuela; freezing $billions of Venezuelan gold even refusing to release the gold for humanitarian aid during Covid. The UK government also conspired to deal in Venezuelan oil post-Maduro.
Declassified also highlighted how BBC editors (see image below) were telling journos NOT to use the word "kidnap" in relation to the kidnap of Maduro, but to instead use "seize" or "capture". This deliberate down-playing of the facts chimes with my observation of the FT down-playing the horrific acts of Trump (see my FT comments on 20 Dec 2025, below). This instruction by BBC editors exposes the BBC as a lackey for the UK government which is a lackey for the US.
Declassified also exposed the double standards of the US government. It is indicting Maduro on trumped-up charged of drug trafficking, yet only weeks ago Trump pardoned and released a Honduran criminal jailed for doing just that, trafficking drugs. According to declassified, the US are not concerned about the drugs entering the US but they are concerned about controlling the people who traffic those drugs.
It is interesting to see how Declassified sum-up the US foreign policy: it is telling the Russians and the Chinese that it, the US, controls its backyard (Latin America); it is telling left-wing governments in Latin America to be warned of US interference; and it is taking Venezuela for its oil not because it wants democracy in Venezuela. Declassified also showed the UK is complicit in US imperialism.
The inhumanity of American politics
03 Jan 2026
An American, Michael Strain, published an article in the FT on 03 Jan 2026 about American politics - the so-called "conservatives" and the so-called "right". The FT did not allow comments, so I found his contact details and sent him a long response by email (reproduced here).
I've included my response here because it deals with the inhumanity of the Americans - those terrorists in power, led by Trump, and those Americans who support their inhumanity through their votes or their money. These people are, therefore, also terrorists.

Evidence shows that Israelis' acts trigger a rise in antisemitic attacks
"03 Jan 2026
Katie Halper's video:
"The statistics show that whenever Israel does something controversial, attacks on Jews all over the world rise. Whenever Israel doesn't, attacks on Jews go down." rabbi Yaakov Shapiro
Shapiro added:
There is no data that says when the UN condemns Israel, when...BDS is making a rally, when uh people are talking against Israel that anti-semitic acts go up. There is no such correlation."
Halper said "globalise intafada" is not hate speech and added: "no one has ever had any evidence to prove that speech like that causes anti-semitism."
Another person (Sam Biagetii) on the podcast mentioned videos of Israelis committing atrocities and the likelihood that such acts will trigger attacks (on Jews) - versus posts of chants such as 'from the river to the sea':
"Do you think a post with a slogan is more likely to cause someone to commit a violent act than a video of children being killed [by Israelis]? Do you think that isn't going to provoke violence in response?" Biagetti asked

FT.com's shameless puff piece on Trump's anniversary
02 Jan 2026
FT.com's pompously-titled "Editorial Board" published a piece marking the anniversary of Trump's presidency. I said it was a shameless puff piece in my comment (which was published immediately but might be removed later). Read it below. I added the addendum as an after thought.

Israelis' human depravity sinks to a new low as they ban 37 aid organisations from Palestine
02 Jan 2026
The Israelis have started the New Year with a show of even greater inhumanity - blocking aid organisation from operating in Palestine, and not just one or two but 37 organisations.
This twist of its screw of inhumanity comes at a time when there is a fake ceasefire in force, though it is obvious the Israelis continue to ignore it, and when Palestinians are suffering from cold and exceptionally wet conditions they are forced to endure in flimsy tents that blow away in the wind.
The disgusting Israelis responsible for this suffering have stooped to new depths in human depravity and inhumanity to other human beings. It is of course, well known that Israelis dehumanise Palestinians.
Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC) sent me an email today asking me to sign a letter to the UK Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper. I did immediately (click here to read it). The text below is PSC's summary of the Israeli ban. I have very little confidence Cooper will do anything of substance to help Palestinians. She is the one who pushed for Palestine Action to be proscribed.
"This week, Israel announced that it will prevent 37 international aid organisations from operating in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including ActionAid, Medical Aid for Palestinians and Médecins Sans Frontières.
This move is a continuation of Israel’s systematic attacks on humanitarian infrastructure as part of its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Statements from the government are not enough. Write to the Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, to demand the British government provides financial and political support for Palestinian and international organisations and implements immediate sanctions on Israel, including a full two-way arms embargo.
Right now, Palestinians in Gaza are facing cold weather and heavy rainfall, which is flooding the tents that more than one million displaced Palestinians live in, while Israel continues to block the entry of aid, including blankets, winter clothes and medicines. This latest ban on humanitarian organisations risks entirely collapsing aid delivery in Gaza, further exacerbating the level of suffering.
Not only will this latest ban on 37 aid organisations prevent Palestinians from accessing desperately needed assistance, it also further isolates them from international support by banning independent organisations advocating for their rights from operating in the OPT.
...
The failure of western governments, including Britain, to hold Israel meaningfully accountable for its genocide, illegal military occupation, and apartheid against Palestinians has granted it the impunity to introduce this ban.
In line with its obligations under international law, the British government must impose a full two-way arms embargo on Israel; introduce wide-ranging sanctions, including asset freezes and travel bans against Israeli governments ministers; and provide political and financial support to Palestinian and international organisations providing humanitarian assistance and defending the rights of the Palestinian people."

Israeli survey shows Europeans agree Israel is a "genocidal, apartheid country"
01 Jan 2026
TYT mentioned a survey conducted BY ISRAELIS on what Europeans think of what the Israelis are doing in Palestine. Click on each image below to read the results of the survey.
The chart shows that the vast majority of Europeans think that most of the people "killed" by the Israelis were civilians - which is true. Most Europeans agree with describing Israel as a "genocidal apartheid country".
The Israelis could have improved Europeans' regard for Israelis by stopping their genocidal and apartheid activities, but the Israelis decided to pursue a different two-pronged propaganda strategy - a) to foment European hatred for Hamas by saying it wants to destroy Jews and it wants to establish an Islamic state, and b) by saying Israel aligns with Europeans in supporting gay rights and womens' rights, rights that muslims do not support.
I have no idea whether or not the claims made by the Israelis about Hamas or Hamas's position on gay and womens' rights, are true or false. Some might interpret Israelis' use of the term "Hamas" to actually mean all muslims. If this indirect reference to muslims is true, then the Israelis are spreading European hostility towards muslims.
The Israelis want to inflict a double blow: a) fill Europeans with empathy for Israelis because of Israeli persecution by Hamas and b) flll Europeans with animosity towards Hamas for it intention to erase Jews and to establish an Islamic state. The Israelis also wanted to show Europeans that they have shared values whereas muslims do not have those same values. Because of their common values, Europeans are likely to side with Israelis than with Hamas.
The strategy worked - support for Israelis as a result of this strategy rose 20 points (presumably that means 20%).
The strategy turned criticism of Israelis into empathy and support for them, and it is another example of the Israelis twisting reality. That twist enables the Israelis to continue their genocide of Palestinians and their apartheid state in Palestine.
Uygur mentioned the Israeli strategy of brainwashing Jews into believing everyone hates Jews especially the muslims, and they have been taught about the holocaust to instil that fear and belief abd to become paranoid. He says the Israeli regime is using that paranoia to encourage Jews to leave and to go to Israel and to support the Israeli regime and if Jews don't give that support to the regime then the Israeli regime is saying Jews everywhere will be killed.
It's reasonable to believe the Israeli regime is, through its genocide and ethnic cleansing, inciting anti-semitism across the world, and using that antisemitism to instil fear in Jews across the world so they will leave for Israel and/or they'll support the regime's attacks on muslims across the Middle East and its genocide of Palestinians. The regime is also using that anti-semitism to garner support from European leaders and the media to shut down pro-Palestinian speech and action.
TYT also reported today that Israelis have banned 24 humanitarian aid organisations from Gaza - another twist of the Israeli screw designed to make Palestinians' lives so dire that they will flee Gaza.

Unusual website stats
07 Jan 2026
Stats are returning to normal.
02 Jan 2026
Stats continue to be abnormal - and still no idea why. Avg is typical.
01 Jan 2026
When I opened my website today, I saw these unusual stats (690 unique visits). No idea why the rise in visits. Perhaps they are fake. Perhaps it was the effect of the TYT awards post.
The page views figure is typical so I guess whoever or whatever was visiting, they very quickly departed -which is fine.

FT lacks journalistic integrity in its reporting on Venezuela and Palestine
01 Jan 2026
FT.com published an article on the US's shameful warmongering over Venezuela. Its article included a quote by Bessant that I thought was a lie, based on what I have learned from independent media reports. He said "“President Trump has been clear: we will not allow the illegitimate Maduro regime to profit from exporting oil while it floods the United States with deadly drugs.”
I posted a comment criticising the FT for allowing such false statements to be printed without saying they are false. Read my comment below:

TYT awards Netanyahu their "Jerk of the Year 2025"
30 Dec 2025
TYT's Uygur awarded his "Jerk of the Year" to Netanyahu. Uygur mentioned the Israelis' civilian kill ratio was 83%, far more than 67% for Hamas in relation to 07 Oct 2023 (and assuming Hamas was responsible for all those Israeli deaths-there is a view that some were killed by the Israelis when they responded).
Based on just these percentages, it is clear the Israelis - headed by Netanyahu - are the greater terrorists, yet the world supports them or turns a blind eye to their terrorism.
The TYT community overwhelmingly (61%) voted that Netanyahu is their Jerk of the Year, and far more than Trump (35%). These two terrorists got 96% of all votes for Jerk of the Year.
Uygur summarised the key reasons Netanyahu is so deserving of the award (see images below)

Israelis recognise Somaliland - possibly to dump Palestinians
29 Dec 2025
The Israelis are alone in recognising the Somali spin-off: Somaliland. The rationale for this recognition could be the Israelis want somewhere to dump Palestinians after ethnically-cleansing Palestine. This article describes the reaction to the Israeli move and a possible reason.

US terrorist state sinks to piracy on the high seas
29 Dec 2025
Just to underline, not that it was needed, that the US is a terror state, it has now engaged in piracy on the high seas, capturing a vessel carrying oil. "going after unsanctioned tankers: it is just straight-up piracy" said Blumenthal on the MOATS talk show hosted by Galloway on 29 Dec 2025 (link).

Historian Avi Shlaim says Israelis are committing genocide
29 Dec 2025
I stumbled across this Majority Report interview of an "Arab Jew" (this is not my description of him. It means he is a Jew who was born in an "Arab" country), Avi Shlaim, who has published a book: Genocide in Gaza (for a brief description of it, try this link).
In the interview, he was asked what convinced him that the Israelis were committing genocide? He says the "clincher" for him was Israelis' starvation of Palestinians. He also lists six pages in his book of Israelis uttering statements that are genocidal.
He is a historian and he discusses evidence of the exodus of Israelis and the Israelis' hand in causing the exodus of Jews to Israel. He also says Israel was a "procedural democracy" but has not been a democracy since 1967, and that it is actually an apartheid state - a view confirmed by an Israeli human rights group.
He also condemns the British for their historical and pivotal role in Palestine, and the complicity of the British, Europeans and the US in the genocide in Gaza.
The guy comes across as a thoughtful, considered, straight-talking, honest historian, who exposes the Israelis for what they really are, not what they want the world to believe. To this day, the Israelis deny they are committing genocide.

FT.com's disgraceful cover-up of Israeli ceasefire violations reveals yet again its bias
29 Dec 2025
FT.com published an article today that downplayed the extent of Israeli violations of a fake ceasefire that began on 09 Oct 2025. In that time they Israelis have murdered 347 Palestinians including 136 children, according to an Amnesty International article on 27/11/25. I do not know of a single Israeli civilian murdered by any Palestinian including Hamas post-ceasefire. The FT did not mention that imbalance that clearly shows the Israelis are continuing their genocide and are not respecting the ceasefire.
Instead of exposing Israelis for the clear and widespread violations of the ceasefire, and the massive imbalance in the extent of Israeli ceasefire violations versus Hamas ceasefire violations (I am not aware of any by Hamas), the FT simply says: "the two sides, who have regularly accused each other of violating the agreement."
The murders and widespread ceasefire violations by the Israelis are far more than mere "accusations". They are real, undeniable, frequent, and obvious yet the FT refuses to recognise or state these facts. It is a disgraceful cover-up by the FT that provides cover for the violations of the Israelis.
The FT talked of the next phase and the withdrawal of Israelis but it failed to say the Israelis have not fulfilled their obligation to withdraw under the first phase, so what chance is there they'll respect the agreement of the second phase?
Another aspect of the ceasefire agreement that the FT has been silent on, along with all other western mainstream media as far as I know, is the idea that Palestinians (Hamas) are to give up their weapons yet the Israelis have NOT been told to give up their weapons.
Where does it say that people whose land has been illegally occupied must give up their inalienable right to armed resistance? Where does it say that the illegal occupier may hold onto their weapons but the dispossessed natives must give up their weapons? Under international law, armed resistance is lawful.
Law for Palestine said:
"Failing to acknowledge resistance movements would lead to an illogical situation: alien occupations would go unchallenged, rendering any resistance against their illegal status illegal itself." (ref).
Law for Palestine also referred to UN Gen Assembly resolution confirming the right to armed resistance (see image below) (ref).
The idea that Palestinians give up armed resistance to illegal occupation by Israelis is another example of an act that the Israelis and their supporters, are trying to brainwash reasonable and rational beings into thinking is a fair and reasonable act. It is unfair and it is unreasonable.
An analogy would be the US army invading native land then saying to the natives: "be fair and reasonable: hand over your bows and arrows". The request is ridiculous and irrational.
Yet again, the FT refused to allow comments on its article. I sent them an email saying:
"How cowardly that yet again the FT does not allow comments, a strategy that immunises it from pushback."

Elizabeth Warren is a fake who voted for $14bn of US military aid to the Israelis
27 Dec 2025
I stumbled across this video that investigated US politician, Elizabeth Warren. The video is relevant for its content on the funding of the Israelis by the US. I refuted its claims, see the email below that I sent to the video's writer (Colin D. Heaton).
Having reviewed the video, I am not sure why the writer mentioned the points about funding the Israelis. They might have been included to expose Warren's duality - the video said she supported Israel and said she opposed a $14bn military aid package to the Israelis.
In my email to the writer, I said I disagreed with his claim that Warren opposed the bill (to fund the Israelis), and I cited an article saying she voted for the bill.

US Democratic party has been bought by pro-Israeli money
24 Dec 2025
I stumbled across a clip by TYT's Uygur in which he revealed a massive financial backer of Hilary Clinton. I decided to do some research on that backer.
Saban and his spouse have donated $tens of millions to the Clintons, Obama, and Biden. He has also funded efforts to counter Iran and the BDS movement, and gave $13m to the Brookings Institute "aimed at shaping US policy toward Palestine and the region." (ref).
This guy is a US-based enforcer and protector of Israeli interests in US politics, and has openly admitted where his loyalties lie: “I’m a one-issue guy and my issue is Israel.”
He is a backer of AIPAC, the lobby group that said: “We intend to be active in a significant number of [political] races where there is a clear difference between a candidate who supports a strong U.S.-Israel relationship and a candidate that does not or who may seek to undermine that relationship...Our activist donors...are focused on ensuring that we have a U.S. Congress that, like President Biden, supports a vibrant and robust relationship with our democratic ally, Israel.” in other words, the Israeli lobby will try to prevent a candidate who is an opponent of Israel and back a supporter of Israel.
To illustrate how damaging that Israeli lobby's influence can be to American interests, Torres (a politician brainwashed and bought by the lobby) has admitted: "I try to approach the [Iran] issue not from the perspective of an American, but from the perspective of an Israeli.”
US grassroots Dems are more supportive of Palestine than of Israel, but the Dem establishment is not listening, "because money is the mother’s milk of politics", i.e. the Dem politicians care more about money than they do about fulfilling the wishes of their voters. (ref)

To illustrate how damaging that Israeli lobby's influence can be to American interests, Torres (a politician brainwashed and bought by the lobby) has admitted: "I try to approach the [Iran] issue not from the perspective of an American, but from the perspective of an Israeli.”
US grassroots Dems are more supportive of Palestine than of Israel, but the Dem establishment is not listening, "because money is the mother’s milk of politics", i.e. the Dem politicians care more about money than they do about fulfilling the wishes of their voters. (ref)

Owen Jones' video (23 Dec) discussed the vile anti-Palestinian and pro-Israeli speech of chancellor Rachel Reeves.
Owen Jones' video (23 Dec) discussed the vile anti-Palestinian and pro-Israeli speech of chancellor Rachel Reeves.
23 Dec 2025
I stumbled across a video today (link) by Flintoff of a pro-Palestine activist, Aisha Jung, who was awarded £7500 damages by the police for her unlawful arrest and detention. All she had done was hold up a placard, which was not antisemitic. Even the police had no idea why they were arresting her and had to get advice before returning to arrest her. From her description of events, it appears Braverman was the instigator of the arrest owing to her clampdown on free speech and "hate marches" and that led to stricter enforcement, and it turns out unlawful enforcement.
Jung mentioned "Riverway to the Sea [RtS] – a movement-embedded legal organisation committed to confronting Zionism through strategic litigation, legal education, and international coordination”. She mentioned a webinar by RtS to help activists in need of legal help.
Robert Jenrick, a pro-Israeli, showed his hatred for the folks at RtS. Note his dehumanising characterisation of them, as though they were dogs: “This isn’t a law firm committed to upholding the rule of law – they are naked activists who seek to weaponise it. The SRA need to expedite their investigation so these disgusting individuals can be brought to heel.”.

Pakistan's top-brass show they're puppets protecting western imperialism and zionism, not Palestinians.
23 Dec 2025
In Jul 2025, Junaid S Ahmad wrote of the Pakistani top-brass and their complicity in the genocide of Palestinians through their silence and through their grovelling to Trump:
"a nation whose army fears Washington more than it loves Gaza has not achieved sovereignty. It has leased its soul."
"While children in Gaza are buried in mass graves, the Field Marshal of Pakistan [Asim Munir] will be remembered as the man who handed a genocidaire [Trump] a peace prize."
Watch this clip from Katie Halper of the Pakistani PM as he showers Trump with praise. It is so cringing, I could not watch it all. To add an element of comedic incompetence to the PM's performance, he recommended Trump for the Prize AFTER the winner of the Prize had already been chosen.
Like so many muslim leaders, the Pakistanis have betrayed the Palestinians and sided with the war criminals.

Pro-Israeli media platform, CBS, is accused of political censorship
23 Dec 2025
Majority Report, along with other independent media platforms, ran a story today (link) on political censorship over what is broadcast by CBS .
In Oct 2025, Ellison said: "We want to become the most trusted destination in news media," The other Ellison said "I believe in the team of CBS News, and I believe we're going to accomplish the goal of building that trusted destination for news immediately." (ref)
Such lofty reassurances and aims have fallen flat in the face of news that CBS's Weiss pulled a 60-minutes programme on the torture prison to which Trump has been sending US residents, just hours before it was to be aired and after it had been publicised.
The reasons given by Weiss have been dismissed by many as fake and instead they believe the real reason for pulling the programme is because it showed Trump in a bad light. So much for political independence and impartiality.
Larry Ellison is an ally of Trump (Trump approved the acquisition of CBS by the Ellisons' Paramount) and would not want to annoy him, especially as Trump could prove instrumental in facilitating the Ellisons' hostile acquisition of Warner Bros, or at least scuppering Netflix's agreed purchase of Warner.
TYT's Uygur noted the goal at CBS (as long as it's controlled by Weiss) is to pursue Israeli interests (including genocide of Palestinians and ethnic cleansing in Palestine) and Trump is only being protected by CBS because he is useful in realising Israeli interests. See this link for TYT's take (published 23 Dec 2025) on the Weiss scandal over CBS 60-Minutes.
CBS and Tik Tok are owned and controlled by pro-Israeli fanatics. This latest scandal involving 60 Minutes, has confirmed suspicions many had at the time these channels were acquired by the pro-Israel lobby - concerns that they'd censor and control what is reported and broadcast.
The CBS employee who was miffed that her 60 Minutes programme was pulled by Weiss, wrote a scathing note to colleagues (see images below, ref):

The hypocrisy and double standards of the West over terrorism and funding terrorism
23 Dec 2025
FT.com published an article today on terrorism and money-laundering by a company (Binance) whose leader was pardoned by Trump. Trump's company has financial links to that ex-con's Binance, and that raises obvious conflicts of interest, and exposes Trump's hypocrisy and double standards, and of the West generally.
I posted a comment (see image below) calling out the West for its double standards on branding people as terrorists and sanctioning funding of terrorism. The comment was immediately published by the FT (a surprise given my posts recently have been sent immediately for to a moderator), however, it was subsequently removed.

Stop Ithaca Energy and Delek Group supporting Israeli genocide and apartheid of Palestinians
22 Dec 2025
Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) asked me to sign a petition to stop an Israeli company profitting from a North Sea oil project.
PSC said:
"Ithaca Energy, one of the operators of the Rosebank oil field, is majority owned by the Israeli oil company Delek Group. Delek profits from illegal settlements in the West Bank and its subsidiary Delek Israel supplies fuel to the Israeli military, with military personnel able to refuel at hundreds of its petrol stations. Delek Group has been included by the UN in a list of businesses that are complicit in human rights concerns in Palestine.
Delek Group is contributing to Israel’s ongoing apartheid and genocide.
The government first approved Rosebank two years ago, but the Stop Rosebank campaign successfully overturned that decision earlier this year. Now the owners are preparing to re-apply.
We must show the government that we don’t want this money to go to those profiting from apartheid and genocide. Join us. "
I immediately signed the petition (see it here)

FT.com: Israelis accelerate illegal settlements and violence in the West Bank
22 Dec 2025
FT.com reported the Israelis are accelerating their illegal settlements and their violence in the West Bank-Palestinian territory they are illegally occupying, to prevent a Palestinian state from forming.
Their actions show clearly they have NO intention to allowing the formation of a Palestinian state. The Israelis' actions are contrary to what the fake so-called 'peace plan' touted by Trump, envisaged. Yet again, the Israelis say one thing and do another, proving yet again they are liars.
The FT.com article was much fairer in its reporting on Palestine but it could have made its points on violence by Israeli settlers with greater gravity by adding Palestinians have been murdered by these violent settlers. Instead it wrote: "a surge in violence by Jewish settlers on Palestinian villagers, pushing farmers off their land...The UN says the violence is the highest since it started tracking data in 2006. ", pretty mild in light of murders of Palestinians living in the West Bank, and the clubbing of an elderly Palestinian woman.
The piece could also have mentioned the support given to these violent Israeli settlers by the Israeli military and the Israeli authorities.

Battle of the billboards in Times Square, New York
21 Dec 2025
Breaking Points (BP) published a video today of a billboard campaign that publicised the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis.
When the UN declared the Israelis were committing genocide, the world was expected to take notice, so what better time to advertise the UN declaration than that very day and where better than in Times Square in New York?
That is what the "Game over" campaign decided to do. They acquired a large billboard and published a message for the world to see. The message is shown in the images below (ref)
"As the United States prepares to host the FIFA World Cup in 2026, Americans must not allow our stadiums to become platforms for whitewashing war crimes,"
"We stand with our European counterparts and demand that every football governing body take immediate and decisive action to bar Israel from international competition...The world must tell Israel that the game is over, and there is no room in sports for war criminals." said Game Over.
Note in the BP interview how he reveals that the driver for kicking the Israelis out of football is the direct and negative impact Israelis' presence will have on the teams and other stakeholders. That means financial impact, the cost of relocating games, or the cost of security for Israeli teams. Note also the attempt by those who will decide on kicking the Israelis out of football, to structure their decision in a way that they can say to the world that they had no alternative to kicking the Israelis out. They might try to pin the blame on the Swiss and their tax laws for the decision, to kick out the Israelis out.
The reason for these people trying to blame others is to avoid repercussions on them from the Americans and the Israelis, such as sanctions (recall the shameful sanctions the Americans placed on Albanese of the UN and the judges who issued the arrest warrant for war criminal, Netanyahu).
The negotiations going on give an insight into the complex, murky and deep shark-infested waters that characterise the governance of international football.
The Israel lobby lost no time trying to shut down the billboard. Calls to the billboard owner came from the Israeli PM's office, from the DoJ, and from the White House, illustrating the reach and infiltration of the Israeli lobby. Still, Game Over's strategy was a success that lasted 3 days and it got the publicity it sought.
The influence of the pro-Israeli lobby and its capture of the authorities is so great in NYC that further billboards with this message have been banned and the Campaign was blocked from repeating its campaign. So much for free speech.
I did a little digging and found what appeared to be the same billboard but it was now calling for Hamas to go, and for Gaza to be demilitarised - see images below (ref).
The Israeli Consulate in New York launched a digital billboard campaign in June 2025 in what appears to be the same location, about a hostage (see image below).
The last image below is of a pink billboard also in Times Square about "Free Palestine". The pro-Israeli organisation that is responsible for it is equating the phrase "free palestine" with hate speech and with antisemitism. It says on its website:
“He screamed ‘Free Palestine’ and shot Jews. Yeah, I’d say it’s hate speech.” “Free Palestine” is a hateful chant that some people are excusing as activism. Yet when you listen to pro-Hamas monsters, they scream “Free Palestine,” followed by “Globalize the Intifada,” then “Death to America,” then “Kill all the Zionists,” then “From the River to the Sea,” and then they start again. “Free Palestine” quickly becomes Molotov cocktails, bullets, and dead bodies. “Free Palestine” is what Elias Rodriguez shouted just three weeks ago after he shot Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky. There is virtually no difference between screaming “Free Palestine” and “Death to America,” and we need to stop pretending that there is.
The organisation claims the phrase: "Free Palestine" is hate speech and characterises it as antisemitism, hate speech, Molotov cocktails, bullets, dead bodies, and "Death to America".
A Jewish organisation, perhaps in partnership with the one above, says: "The ‘Free Palestine’ movement is calling for the genocide of Jews.” “We call upon all Americans to join us in speaking clearly about who and what the bloodthirsty ‘Free Palestine’ movement stands for, and the need to stamp it out,” “The cry of ‘Free Palestine’ is the call of domestic terrorists.” (ref) Their slogans are the two images below that equate "Free Palestine" with "genocide of Jews"
I think a rational and reasonable person (the Person) might say that one cannot tar everyone who says "Free Palestine" with the same brush, i.e., the phrase can have a different meaning for whoever says it.
The Person might give the following meanings: "Free Palestine" means: removing Israelis from Palestine territory illegally occupied by Israelis; Palestinians being free to determine their own destiny (self-determination), and free of Israeli oppression, genocide, and ethnic cleansing.
They might say that under international law, Palestinians have the right of armed resistance. They might add that the Israelis are actually committing a genocide of Palestinans and ethnically cleansing Palestine, the very acts these pro-Israeli supporters are claiming is the intention of those who say: "Free Palestine"
Billboards are being used by the pro-Israeli lobby without restriction, yet the Game Over campaign's billboard was shut down in just a few days. That smacks of bias to me - in favour of the Israelis and against the Palestinians.

TYT ponder what role Israelis had in Bondi Beach, 07 Oct, and 'antisemitic' attacks
19 Dec 2025
More examples, from a TYT video published on 17 Dec 2025, of Israelis twisting reality 180 degrees and trying to make people believe their lies are the truth.
The video also shows Netanyahu using the Bondi Beach (BB) incident to condemn calls for a Palestinian state and that giving Palestinians a state rewards terrorism, incites antisemitism and "Jew hatred". According to TYT, Netanyahu blamed the Australian government for the BB incident, because the government recognised a Palestinian state, i.e. Netanyahu used the BB incident for political gain.
Uygur thought it likely that the BB attack was a false flag operation and the work of the Israelis and similar attacks might occur in Europe.
He refers to warning letters issued by Netanyahu to governments not to recognise a Palestine state, and that if they recognise Palestine then these antisemitic' attacks will or might occur. In other words, Uygur reckoned the Israelis are behind these seemingly antisemitic attacks.
Jimmy Dore's video on 19 Dec 2025, also said BB was a red flag and mentioned the Israelis were in league with ISIS. He played a clip of Netanyahu demanding action by western governments. Dore said the real reason for Netanyahu's demands was not anstisemitism but to get governments to shut down public dissent of Israel's actions i.e., to stop criticism of Israel.
Kasparian mentioned the Israelis' Hannibal Directive. This Directive would be consistent with the view that the Israelis ordered the attack on Jews on Bondi Beach and made it appear to the world as an antisemitic attack. Jimmy Dore in his video is more explicit, saying the Israelis used the Directive on 07 Oct 2023.
Uygur said every accusation by the Israelis is a confession, another way of saying the Israelis twist reality 180 degrees. For example, Israelis say they are threatened yet they are the ones with a nuclear weapon, and they are the ones threatening neighbouring countries.
Uygur made the telling observation that ISIS has never attacked Israel. Could that be because Israel is in league with ISIS? The head of a militant group in Gaza that is supported by the Israelis, was distributing drugs supplied by ISIS - raising the possibility that ISIS is also linked to Israel. The Bondi Beach attackers appeared to have ISIS connections.
Uygur also made the interesting observation that Republicans and Democrats gave the same public message following the BB attack - attacking Palestine's right to exist. How did that same message happen to be broadcast by different parties? He says the reason was the pro-Israeli lobby handed these politicians the same talking point to spread.
Uygur also mentioned the Israelis have funded Hamas with about $1bn, yet they tell the world Hamas is the enemy. For more on the Israelis funding Hamas, see here.
Uygur also observes that it took several hours for Israeli soldiers to respond to the 07 Oct 2023 attack yet it takes under 1 hour to cross Israel. Why did they take so long to act? Was the delay deliberate, i.e., was there a "stand-down" order? In other words, was 07 Oct 2023 an Israeli-organised attack on the Israelis? For what purpose? It gave the Israelis justification to attack Hamas. The Israelis then escalated that initial attack to the real objective: genocide of Palestinians and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
If Hamas conspired with the Israelis to launch its 07 Oct 2023 attack, then Hamas is responsible with the Israelis of the subsequent genocide of its own people (Palestinians) and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Perhaps Hamas were duped by the Israelis into thinking there was a window of opportunity to breakout of the Israeli concentration camp and Hamas took it on 07 Oct 2023 with tragic consequences for Palestinians.
Netanyahu resisted an inquiry into 07 Oct but has now relented. The government committee's composition wil be determined by Netanyahu so its inquiry is likely to be a whitewash: “This is not an investigative commission, this is a cover-up commission.” and "The government is “establishing a commission that will investigate itself,” " (ref).

The Bondi Beach attackers appeared to have ISIS connections.
Uygur also made the interesting observation that Republicans and Democrats gave the same public message following the BB attack - attacking Palestine's right to exist. How did that same message happen to be broadcast by different parties? He says the reason was the pro-Israeli lobby handed these politicians the same talking point to spread.
Uygur also mentioned the Israelis have funded Hamas with about $1bn, yet they tell the world Hamas is the enemy. For more on the Israelis funding Hamas, see here.
Uygur also observes that it took several hours for Israeli soldiers to respond to the 07 Oct 2023 attack yet it takes under 1 hour to cross Israel. Why did they take so long to act? Was the delay deliberate, i.e., was there a "stand-down" order? In other words, was 07 Oct 2023 an Israeli-organised attack on the Israelis? For what purpose? It gave the Israelis justification to attack Hamas. The Israelis then escalated that initial attack to the real objective: genocide of Palestinians and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
If Hamas conspired with the Israelis to launch its 07 Oct 2023 attack, then Hamas is responsible with the Israelis of the subsequent genocide of its own people (Palestinians) and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Perhaps Hamas were duped by the Israelis into thinking there was a window of opportunity to breakout of the Israeli concentration camp and Hamas took it on 07 Oct 2023 with tragic consequences for Palestinians.
Netanyahu resisted an inquiry into 07 Oct but has now relented. The government committee's composition wil be determined by Netanyahu so its inquiry is likely to be a whitewash: “This is not an investigative commission, this is a cover-up commission.” and "The government is “establishing a commission that will investigate itself,” " (ref).
Trump reveals to the world how he was bought by the Israelis and he might be again for another $250m
I came across, by chance, today a video posted by Kulinski, that is the most brazen and clear-cut on-screen betrayal of genuine Americans by none other than the President of the US, Donald Trump.
I won't go into what "genuine" means - it is a long and complex subject, but for now let's assume it means those Americans who want to make America the place people want to live, work and spend holidays. A country that other countries see as a role model of peace, prosperity, and equal rights for all Americans irrespectve of their colour, race, or gender.
The president is supposed to make America the America these genuine Americans want, but listening to this clip of Trump speaking at an event (that might have been billed as a Jewish event given the attention given to the Israelis and their supporters) will shock those genuine Americans, especially those who believe in "America First" NOT "Israel First".
"I've done so much for Israel" Trump says to the crowd, emphatically, done so much for Israel that he says he has had to bring pages of notes (of all that he has done). He mentioned the Golan Heights - his gift to the Israelis.
He then admitted to the world that "the strongest lobby in Washington was the Jewish lobby, it was Israel" then, incredibly, he warned the audience "that's no longer true, you have to be very careful" He said Congress "is becoming antisemitic". Kulinski said, shocked by Trump's words: "Is this America First!? Is this America First!? Sounds like Israel First"
He did not provide proof of "antisemitism". To the pro-Israelis, anti-zionism or any criticism of Israel, are deemed by pro-Israelis to be "antisemitic". Making that connection with antisemitism is nonsense.
Trump then exposed to the world that American politics is run by the rich for the rich, when he brought Adelson onto the stage and praised her and her dead husband. "Myriam gave my campaign...$250 million" Trump said to the crowd, without any hint of hesitation or circumspection. Most politicians would never willingly reveal who is funding them because of the conflicts of interest.
"this [the identity of people who fund you] is the part you're not supposed to say out loud, you ***** idiot" Kulinski said to Trump. Kulinski also reminded viewers of when Trump boasted he did not need the money (for his election campaign) and that he is self-funding...all of which turned out to be, like so many things Trump said, complete lies. "What a **** pathetic, corrupt country we live in" Kulinski lamented.
If that was not enough, the revelations and admissions became even more shocking: Adelson revealed on stage to the crowd and the world that she and Dershowitz had discussed the possibility of Trump serving another four more years as president. The crowd started chanting "four more years, four more years". Trump then said (of what Adleson had whispered to him): "She said 'think about it, I'll give you another $250 million"
Trump then praised her husband saying Adelson was the person Trump spent the most time with, and that Adelson was aggressive and insistent about a meeting with the president whenever it suited Adelson, not the president. Trump also added that a request for a 10-minute meeting with Adelson turned out to be 90 minutes and Adelson's wife was often also present. It was evident that Adelson had a direct link to the president and got his way whenever he wanted a meeting with the president, such was the influence and control of this pro-Israeli over the president, control that his widow has continued to exert.
Trump admitted of Adelson "He fought for Israel; that's all he really fought for...He just wanted to take care of Israel so he was a great guy" said Trump, i.e., Adelson was using Trump to fight for Israel. What clearer evidence could there be that the president was being used by Adelson to serve the interests of Israel and that Adelson's primary concern was Israel NOT America? It is also shocking that Trump knew where Adelson's priorities lay (Israel and only Israel) yet Trump gave him so much time and called him a great guy.
"Trump is literally giving the game away" said Kulinski, incredulous of what he heard Trump say.
"This country is run based off corruption. It is run based off money. It is not run based on democracy, freedom, liberty, principles...This is literally a corrupt country and he is bragging about that", said Kulinski of the money and favours money bought.
"There is a special place in Hell for this ****" Kulinski said about Trump.

FT.com - further bias. Depraved Israelis worsen concentration camp conditions hoping Palestinians will break and flee
19 Dec 2025
FT.com published an article (19 Dec 2025) on the dire conditions forced upon them by the depraved Israelis, conditions that have been worsened by exceptionally heavy rainfall, cold, and winds so strong they blow away the flimsy tents the Israelis are forcing the Gazans to live in.
The article confirms what has been said earlier, that the depraved Israelis are creating conditions in the concentration camps in which they imprison Palestinians that are so inhumane and dire that the Israelis want the Palestinians' resolve to break and they'll flee through the one-way exit they have opened to neighbouring Egypt.
Amnesty International said of the conditions in which Gazans must survive: "“They are the foreseeable consequences of Israel’s ongoing genocide and deliberate policy of blocking the entry of shelter and repair materials for the displaced.”
"aid groups say the amount of aid Israel is allowing into the shattered enclave falls woefully short of what would be needed to alleviate the desperate humanitarian conditions." In other words, the depraved Israelis are depriving Palestinians of aid, increasing Palestinian's desperation and increasing the likelihood (the Israelis hope) Palestinians' resistance will break and they will flee across the one-way exit.
It is no surprise the Israelis have imprisoned Palestinians in low-lying land, prone to flooding and contamination by sewage, and increased risk of a pandemic.
Material for rebuilding Gaza has been blocked by the Israelis, forcing Palestinians to endure inhumane living conditions for longer thereby prolonging their suffering and weakening their resistance to Israeli oppression and increasing the chance they'll snap and flee to Egypt.
In a further sign of FT bias and deference to the Israelis, the FT has allowed space for the Israelis to claim they are not committing genocide and to claim they are in compliance with International law. These claims have been refuted by multiple independent sources. There is no doubt a genocide caused by the Israelis and the Israelis have broken International law, so FT should stop publishing Israeli lies; its reporting is not balanced, impartial journalism but misinformation and Israeli propaganda.
The FT's article is worded in a way that avoids saying the Israelis are responsible for the "desperate humanitarian conditions in Gaza". Using the word "humanitarian" is a misnomer because the conditions Palestinians suffer are conditions designed by the Israelis to cause suffering and death and to force their migration (ethnic cleansing).
Suffering and death are not the intended outcomes of humanitarianism, quite the opposite, so why does the FT choose to use "humanitarian" to describe the inhumane conditions the Israelis force the Palestinians to live under? "Open-air prison" or "concentration camps" would be more accurate descriptions, akin to those of WWII concentration camps that holocaust victims experienced.
The FT says the rain "caused damaged buildings to collapse" but again no mention that the buildings are the few standing after the Dresdenisation of Gaza by Israeli bombs. No mention of how these unstable buildings got into that condition.
The FT's reporting avoids any reference to Israeli responsibility for the plight of Palestinians. Nor does it state the collective punishment the Israelis are inflicting on innocent Palestinian civilians. Collective punishment is a war crime.

FT.com's biased reporting deflects the impact of murders by Israelis and their clear breach of the fake ceasefire
18 Dec 2025
FT.com published an article on 13 Dec 2025, of the murder by the Israelis of members of Hamas including a Hamas commander.
I have not seen the terms of the fake ceasefire but it would be reasonable to assume that any murder of the opposing side after the ceasefire start would constitute a breach of it.
Most reasonable, impartial and fair-minded journalists would therefore conclude the Israelis broke the ceasefire. What could be in doubt? The Israelis admitted they targetted and hit a vehicle, murdering a Hamas members.
Their justification for their attack, according to the FT piece, is retaliation for "an IED explosion that lightly injured two Israeli soldiers in southern Gaza" No mention of who or what set off that IED explosion, and no one was seriously injured by the explosion. (In a similar incident, two Israeli soldiers were killed when their vehicle drove over an IED, a story that differed from what the Israelis said of the deaths and Hamas denied responsibility for the deaths.)
Knowing all that, the FT in their headline say: "Hamas accuses Israel of sabotaging ceasefire after commander is targeted" The FT in their own words, add weight to the claim that the Israelis broke the ceasefire because the FT say the Hamas commander was "targeted". In other words, during the ceasefire, the Israelis deliberately sought to murder and then did murder, the Hamas commander, a clear breach of the ceasefire.
The FT headline is biased because they do not take the reasonable view that murdering people in a car, who were not attacking Israelis and so were not a threat, is a breach of the ceasefire. Instead, they say: Hamas accuses the Israelis of breaking the ceasefire.
Using the word "accuses" casts doubt over whether the Israelis did break the ceasefire and so it neutralises the impact of the Israeli attack - a cold-blooded, unprovoked murder of Palestinians that was a clear breach of the ceasefire. The FT's wording completely deflects criticism of the Israelis for their deliberate and unprovoked attack.
If Hamas had launched a missile and murdered Israeli soldiers, would the FT have written in its headline "Israel accuses Hamas of sabotaging ceasfire after IDF commander is targeted"
Longwarjournal.org said of the attack by the Israelis: "Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz framed the airstrike that killed Saad as a defensive enforcement of the ceasefire..." One might wonder what on earth is "defensive enforcement of the ceasefire"? What reasonable person would say that murdering a person in cold blood is enforcing a ceasefire, or that such murder is a defensive measure? It is yet another example of Israelis twisting reality 180 degrees and turning a wrong into a right.
The US government is reported as saying the Israeli attack was a: “violation of the ceasefire.” The US drafted the fake ceasefire agreement so if anyone knew whether it was broken or not, they would, yet the FT gave the Israelis a pass on their murders and their blatant breach of the ceasefire.

Starmer and Palestinian human rights
18 Dec 2025
FT.com published an article on 17 Dec 2025 about human rights and the plight of a dissident of Chinese origin (Lai, pictured), who has been prosecuted by the Chinese for criticising the government.
The article discussed Starmer and whether he'd help Lai when he meets the Chinese.
I criticised Starmer's human rights record in my post (see below), but it was referred to a FT moderator so it might not actually be published:

Western power brokers' double standards and hypocrisy
18 Dec 2025
FT.com published an article on concerns and doubts about seizing Russian assets held overseas. Clearly they are showing a lot of angst over the potential consequences of this seizure, yet not a whisper by them about undertaking equivalent seizures - for the Israeli theft of Palestinian property or for the potential theft by the US government of Venezuela. I exposed these double standards and hypocrisy of westerners in my comment below. In hindsight, I should have added a further criticism (it only occurred to me on 17 Jan 2026 as I was reviewing my posts): where is the pompously-titled FT Editorial Board's opinion piece exposing and condemning these double standards? Its silence is deafening. That silence reveals the FT also has double standards.

Israelis and inclement weather create Hell on Earth for Palestinians
17 Dec 2025
Breaking Points published a video 17 Dec 2025 on the appalling conditions Palestinians are forced to live under, conditions created by the Israelis.
Palestinians have erected flimsy tents adjacent to mountains of refuse - refuse that has piled up because the Israelis have blocked access to the location where it is usually processed. At the best of times, being literally inches from such mountains of litter is a health hazard - because of the germs, rats and the nauseating stench. That danger has been surpassed by torrential raid and strong winds that literally topple tents and flood the area with water, probably copntaminated by the nearby mountains of refuse.
The tents are neither watertight nor wind resistant so Palestinians' possessions and food are either ruined or blown away. A living nightmare has been compounded by the inclement weather and turned Palestinians' environment into Hell on earth.
BP goes on to say that the Israelis are deliberately withholding aid that is in trucks ready to be distributed. The Israelis have opened one of the borders but travel is one-way and that is OUT of Palestine. BP describes the theory of a person on the ground - that the Israelis are creating conditions so dire that Palestinians will flee across the border, so mission accomplished: Palestine ethnically cleansed.
These tactics underline the depravity and inhumanity of the Israelis, and also of the Americans who are their principal partners in crimes against humanity. So many other countries can be added to the list of criminals, plus the UN Security Council and the EU.

Rally outside MoJ, London 17 Dec 2025 in support of Palestine activism hunger strikers. UK police ban: "intifada"
17 Dec 2025
My post on 11 Dec 2025 highlighted the plight of UK prisoners on hunger strike. A call to action was issued (I got email today from Stop the War and PSC) - to gather outside the Ministry of Justice (or should it be "Ministry of Injustice"?) at 6pm. The event was to take place at Downing Street but the location changed at the last minute, and fortunately, I saw the message.
I'm not sure if that change was a tactic of the police and/or politicians to cause trouble and expense for the organisers and the supporters who attended. I say that because it is clear the government is trying to shut down these rallies and free speech that supports Palestinians or criticises Israelis.
I exited St James's Park tube station onto Petty France just before 6pm and saw a small crowd gathered outside the entrance to the MoJ. I grabbed a placard being handed out and stood among the crowd and listened.
There were many police lining the MoJ building and the road, Petty France, had been cordoned off. Some police, or their agents, roamed through the crowd capturing them on video. This kind of recording has been done at other rallies I've attended.
Regrettably, a scuffle broke out. It appeared that a zionist had infiltrated the crowd and sparked trouble. I say "zionist" because that is how he was described by one or more people ijn the crowd. It appeared to me that he got among the crowd and started to heckle or argue with the crowd and perhaps the people with the loudspeaker.
Police intervened and dragged the young man holding the loudspeaker (see image below) away from the crowd. I think the troublemaker was also hauled off. I don't know if either was arrested but I did not see the young man again - nor the woman who was standing beside him speaking to the crowd. I don't know why the police singled him out. He was peacefully minding his own business until the troublemaker made trouble.
It is a sad fact that pro-Israel supporters will try to disrupt pro-Palestine events and trigger violence and arrests at events that are peaceful and would remain peaceful if these troublemakers stayed away and were kept away by the police. I suspect this troublemaker appeared in the guise of a pro-Palestinian supporter (I think he had a Palestinian scarf around his neck) and managed to get close enough to the people with the loudspeaker before triggering an incident.
The troublemaker failed because the event carried on as normal very quickly after the people involved had been taken aside by the police and speakers took to the stage to speak. One speaker took to the stage and defiantly chanted the song that many pro-Israel supporters banned or are trying to ban on the grounds that it is antisemitic. That claim is false and another example of pro-Israeli supporters' lies to oppress pro-Palestinian voices and shut down dissent and criticism of the Israelis.
Update 23 Dec 2025
I came across by chance this video (uploaded 21 Dec) by Crispin Flintoff's channel, of the rally I attended on the 17th outside the MoJ. It sheds more light on the rally: the original location (Downing St) was banned by the police and so the organisers at the last minute decided to rally at the MoJ. I also learned the woman who was with the young man holding the loudspeaker, is called Haya. It seems the police arrested her for saying "intifada" which in Arabic means revolution. She is seen explaining this to the policeman that the word is not hate speech and it is not a harmful word, and asking him where in the law it says that word is unlawful? A police officer is heard saying that word is a "violation". She told the policeman "this is discrimination". Her mother, Azza, was holding crutches and sitting in a wheel chair beside Haya. Azza got up and chanted vociferously, and she too was arrested for saying "intifada".
It is utterly disgusting that these people were treated so unjustly by the police, and so it seems to me there are grounds for Haya and Azza claiming damages for unlawful arrest, in the same way another pro-Palestinian activist (Aisha Jung) was awarded £7500 damages by the police for wrongful arrest (see this video, also by Flintoff, on 22 Dec 2025).
It seems to me the police were prodded by the government and they in turn were prodded by the pro-Israel lobby, to harrass and intimidate these pro-Palestine activists and to arrest them. Azza is seen saying that: the "zionists" did not like what Haya was saying, reported it, and the police arrested her. When the police were asked why Haya was arrested, their response was they would not say why "now", i.e,, they did not have an answer.
Azza asked the police: why do the police always take the side (of the zionists), and she said they had no answer.
I did some research on "intifada" and came across many news reports on these arrests for saying "intifada". ICJP reported on 18 Dec:
"Even the Crown Prosecution Service has advised that the use of the word “intifada” does not meet prosecution thresholds, yet the Metropolitan Police proceeded anyway and made arrests. In the absence of any changes in the law, this represents an abuse of police powers, and an overreach of the Public Order Act,designed to chill dissent and suppress lawful debate on issues of international justice. " The CPS has not confirmed whether saying "intifada" will stand up in court.
It seems to me the UK police are unjustly clamping down on free speech by using violent attacks in the UK and in Australia as a pretext for their clampdown (ref). They are choosing to misinterpret a word and to take the side of Jews who (perhaps falsely) claim to be in fear of the word "intifada". Mischief-making Jews should be condemning the Jews in Israel who incite antisemitism by their genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine, and by their illegal occupation of Palestine. UK police should be arresting the people in the UK who support these crimes perpetrated by Jews, NOT arresting people who speak out, and do so peacefully, AGAINST these crimes by Jews.
Braverman should be condemned for falsely and maliciously characterising pro-Palestinian marches as "hate marches".
The ICJP added: "Rather than holding perpetrators of war crimes to account [and, I will add, those who support such criminals], resources are being devoted to policing those defending Palestinian rights."
"“As much as police chiefs may wish to make laws on the hoof, this is not how things work. Policing must be rooted in the law, not in buckling to reactionary political pressure. Not only did CPS advise the police that this phrase doesn’t meet prosecution thresholds, but the ‘ban’ is both reckless and non-sensical, inappropriately conflating acts of violence with protesters opposing the ongoing genocide in Gaza.”
Update 26 Dec 2025
I stumbled across this video by Glenn Greenwald on the UK police ban of the word "intifada". His report reveals that the Israelis were behind the ban, and they have been calling for a ban for years (read their statement published 18 Dec 2025).
Note the alarming examples and comments he makes about the extent to which the IHRA definition of antisemitism gags freedom of speech that is NOT hateful yet is deemed hateful and therefore banned.
He says:
You cannot say Israel is a racist endeavour; nor can you say that zionism is a racist ideology. These would be deemed antisemitic. You are not allowed to compare what the Israelis are doing to what the Nazis did; nor can you compare the Israeli government to Nazis. You are not allowed to say ther Jews killed Jesus Christ. He says it is antisemitic to say a Jewish American has MORE loyalty to Israel than he has to the USA, even if that Jew admits his greater loyalty to Israel. Saying these in countries including: USA, UK, Australia, can result in arrest and prosecution.
"This is how Israel has eroded free speech throughout the West" He says these laws gagging free speech reveal how these western democracies work and who wields power within them.
It is truly shocking that the Israelis (foreigners) have managed to get foreign governments to create laws that provide exceptional treatment to Jews, a privilege that enables Jews to prevent reasonable criticism of them or else it's punishable by arrest and prosecution.
My post on 11 Dec 2025 highlighted the plight of UK prisoners on hunger strike. A call to action was issued (I got email today from Stop the War and PSC) - to gather outside the Ministry of Justice (or should it be "Ministry of Injustice"?) at 6pm. The event was to take place at Downing Street but the location changed at the last minute, and fortunately, I saw the message.
I'm not sure if that change was a tactic of the police and/or politicians to cause trouble and expense for the organisers and the supporters who attended. I say that because it is clear the government is trying to shut down these rallies and free speech that supports Palestinians or criticises Israelis.
I exited St James's Park tube station onto Petty France just before 6pm and saw a small crowd gathered outside the entrance to the MoJ. I grabbed a placard being handed out and stood among the crowd and listened.
There were many police lining the MoJ building and the road, Petty France, had been cordoned off. Some police, or their agents, roamed through the crowd capturing them on video. This kind of recording has been done at other rallies I've attended.
Regrettably, a scuffle broke out. It appeared that a zionist had infiltrated the crowd and sparked trouble. I say "zionist" because that is how he was described by one or more people ijn the crowd. It appeared to me that he got among the crowd and started to heckle or argue with the crowd and perhaps the people with the loudspeaker.
Police intervened and dragged the young man holding the loudspeaker (see image below) away from the crowd. I think the troublemaker was also hauled off. I don't know if either was arrested but I did not see the young man again - nor the woman who was standing beside him speaking to the crowd. I don't know why the police singled him out. He was peacefully minding his own business until the troublemaker made trouble.
It is a sad fact that pro-Israel supporters will try to disrupt pro-Palestine events and trigger violence and arrests at events that are peaceful and would remain peaceful if these troublemakers stayed away and were kept away by the police. I suspect this troublemaker appeared in the guise of a pro-Palestinian supporter (I think he had a Palestinian scarf around his neck) and managed to get close enough to the people with the loudspeaker before triggering an incident.
The troublemaker failed because the event carried on as normal very quickly after the people involved had been taken aside by the police and speakers took to the stage to speak. One speaker took to the stage and defiantly chanted the song that many pro-Israel supporters banned or are trying to ban on the grounds that it is antisemitic. That claim is false and another example of pro-Israeli supporters' lies to oppress pro-Palestinian voices and shut down dissent and criticism of the Israelis.
Update 23 Dec 2025
I came across by chance this video (uploaded 21 Dec) by Crispin Flintoff's channel, of the rally I attended on the 17th outside the MoJ. It sheds more light on the rally: the original location (Downing St) was banned by the police and so the organisers at the last minute decided to rally at the MoJ. I also learned the woman who was with the young man holding the loudspeaker, is called Haya. It seems the police arrested her for saying "intifada" which in Arabic means revolution. She is seen explaining this to the policeman that the word is not hate speech and it is not a harmful word, and asking him where in the law it says that word is unlawful? A police officer is heard saying that word is a "violation". She told the policeman "this is discrimination". Her mother, Azza, was holding crutches and sitting in a wheel chair beside Haya. Azza got up and chanted vociferously, and she too was arrested for saying "intifada".
It is utterly disgusting that these people were treated so unjustly by the police, and so it seems to me there are grounds for Haya and Azza claiming damages for unlawful arrest, in the same way another pro-Palestinian activist (Aisha Jung) was awarded £7500 damages by the police for wrongful arrest (see this video, also by Flintoff, on 22 Dec 2025).
It seems to me the police were prodded by the government and they in turn were prodded by the pro-Israel lobby, to harrass and intimidate these pro-Palestine activists and to arrest them. Azza is seen saying that: the "zionists" did not like what Haya was saying, reported it, and the police arrested her. When the police were asked why Haya was arrested, their response was they would not say why "now", i.e,, they did not have an answer.
Azza asked the police: why do the police always take the side (of the zionists), and she said they had no answer.
I did some research on "intifada" and came across many news reports on these arrests for saying "intifada". ICJP reported on 18 Dec:
"Even the Crown Prosecution Service has advised that the use of the word “intifada” does not meet prosecution thresholds, yet the Metropolitan Police proceeded anyway and made arrests. In the absence of any changes in the law, this represents an abuse of police powers, and an overreach of the Public Order Act,designed to chill dissent and suppress lawful debate on issues of international justice. " The CPS has not confirmed whether saying "intifada" will stand up in court.
It seems to me the UK police are unjustly clamping down on free speech by using violent attacks in the UK and in Australia as a pretext for their clampdown (ref). They are choosing to misinterpret a word and to take the side of Jews who (perhaps falsely) claim to be in fear of the word "intifada". Mischief-making Jews should be condemning the Jews in Israel who incite antisemitism by their genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine, and by their illegal occupation of Palestine. UK police should be arresting the people in the UK who support these crimes perpetrated by Jews, NOT arresting people who speak out, and do so peacefully, AGAINST these crimes by Jews.
Braverman should be condemned for falsely and maliciously characterising pro-Palestinian marches as "hate marches".
The ICJP added: "Rather than holding perpetrators of war crimes to account [and, I will add, those who support such criminals], resources are being devoted to policing those defending Palestinian rights."
"“As much as police chiefs may wish to make laws on the hoof, this is not how things work. Policing must be rooted in the law, not in buckling to reactionary political pressure. Not only did CPS advise the police that this phrase doesn’t meet prosecution thresholds, but the ‘ban’ is both reckless and non-sensical, inappropriately conflating acts of violence with protesters opposing the ongoing genocide in Gaza.”
Update 26 Dec 2025
I stumbled across this video by Glenn Greenwald on the UK police ban of the word "intifada". His report reveals that the Israelis were behind the ban, and they have been calling for a ban for years (read their statement published 18 Dec 2025).
Note the alarming examples and comments he makes about the extent to which the IHRA definition of antisemitism gags freedom of speech that is NOT hateful yet is deemed hateful and therefore banned.
He says:
You cannot say Israel is a racist endeavour; nor can you say that zionism is a racist ideology. These would be deemed antisemitic. You are not allowed to compare what the Israelis are doing to what the Nazis did; nor can you compare the Israeli government to Nazis. You are not allowed to say ther Jews killed Jesus Christ. He says it is antisemitic to say a Jewish American has MORE loyalty to Israel than he has to the USA, even if that Jew admits his greater loyalty to Israel. Saying these in countries including: USA, UK, Australia, can result in arrest and prosecution.
"This is how Israel has eroded free speech throughout the West" He says these laws gagging free speech reveal how these western democracies work and who wields power within them.

Huckabee the shameless reality twister
16 Dec 2025
Breaking Points (BP) showed a video clip (15 Dec 2025, at around 9 mins) of what is a disgustingly brazen twisting of reality by US Ambassador to Israel, Huckabee - an ardent pro-Israel supporter.
He denies Israel bombed Quatar (a bomb that killed multiple people), because the bomb was, he said, aimed solely at a Hamas individual.
In other words, Huckabee is saying the Israelis did not violate the sovereign territory of Quatar because the Israeli bomb was aimed at an individual and not at the land of Quatar. He has nothing to say on the Israeli bomb violating Quatari air space.
An analogy of Huckabee's perversion of the facts is to say the Japanese did not attack US territory in WWII, because their planes were aimed at US aircraft. Similarly, the US and their allies could say they did not violate Japanese territory because their bomb was aimed at Japanese civilians not the land of Japan.
Huckabee is taking a leaf out of the playbook of Israelis that shamelessly twists reality to make it appear what they want the world to believe, even if their beliefs are fantasy, illogical, irrational and absurd.
Huckabee also lied by saying there was just one Israeli bomb, when there were around 9 missiles according to BP.

FT.com's pompously-titled "Editorial Board" shows it lacks journalistic independence and integrity
15 Dec 2025
FT.com's pompously-titled "Editorial Board" published its opinion on 15 Dec 2025 on antisemitism. It is regrettable that they publish their opinions, and then they block readers from commenting on their opinions. That restriction means they can preach from their pulpit unfettered and unchallenged, and they can wield their power to influence the narrative.
In their piece they wrote: "the crucial distinction between the government of Israel and the Jewish people is often ignored." They don't back this claim with facts, nor do they balance it by saying the other side of the argument: "the crucial distinction between the government of Israel and the Jewish people is often not ignored."
Often, people vent their anger at marches in London, for example, they criticise the Israeli regime or the "zionists". See the many photos on this website of protestors's messages on their placards. It is therefore a fact that people do distinguish Jews from the murderous Israeli regime. The "Editorial Board" failed to make these observations and therfore it failed to give a balanced view.
The "Editorial Board" did not mention what percentage of the Jewish population in Israel actively support the atrocities committed on Palestinians by Israelis: the genocide and ethnic cleansing and the starving to death of children, the murder of Palestinians as they tried to get aid. If this percentage is high, and I suspect it is, then there is no distinction between the Israeli regime and the average Jew in Israel in terms of their desire for genocide and ethnic cleansing and starving Palestinians to death. I did some research:
A poll in Jun 2025 by Haaretz showed:
"82 percent of Israeli Jews support "the transfer (expulsion) of residents of the Gaza Strip to other countries?" No less than 54 percent of Jewish respondents were "very" supportive. "
When Jews were asked if all inhabitants of a conquered enemy city should be killed by the IDF, 47% agreed.
These are shocking figures and this poll is no an isolated outcome. The article about the poll says other polls show similar, but not 82%, responses, so this is not an exceptional view held by Israeli society about Palestinians. "Other studies showed similar overall trends."
It is fair to conclude that a significant portion of Israeli society want Palestine to be ethnically cleansed and to be exterminated.
The "Editorial Board" had nothing to say on these polls or the murderous sentiments of a significant percentage of Jews in Israel. Given the feelings of inhumanity among a significant percentage of Israeli Jews, is it any wonder that many people across the world see the Israeli Jews and the inhumane Israeli regime as one? Is it then any wonder that these Israeli Jews, through their feelings of inhumanity for Palestinians, are responsible for the attacks on Jews across the world?
Make no mistake, any attack - verbal or physical - on any innocent human, is a crime. I do not condone such crimes. I think it is right to expose who I believe are the people responsible for inciting such attacks.
The "Editorial Board" did not consider the impact that images of the real-time genocide, starving to death of Palestinian civilians, and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the Israelis would have on worldwide public opinion of the Israelis or the Jews.
It is not unreasonable that people across the world feel hatred for the Israeli regime for what the regime is doing to Palestinians, so why didn't the "Editorial Board" point the finger of blame for attacks on Jews at the Israeli regime? Had the Israeli regime shown humanity instead of depravity; had they spared innocent Palestinian men, women, and children, I strongly believe the attacks on Jews across the world would have been fewer.
Why didn't the Editorial Board point its finger at itself and other mainstream media channels that have consistently spread pro-Israel bias and refused to present, in a fair and balanced way, the rights of Palestinians to armed resistance, self-determination, and human rights?
Like western politicians, the western mainstream media have been captured and bought by the Israeli propaganda machine. As Israeli agents and supporters, the mainstream media and politicians are each responsible for antisemitism and attacks on Jews.
This piece is further evidence that the pompously-named "Editorial Board" lacks journalistic independence and integrity. It should be ashamed of itself, as should the FT journalists who copy them.

What are the unspoken issues beneath the battle for Warner Bros by the pro-Israel lobby? My comments
14 Dec 2025
FT.com published a 12 Dec 2025 article on the bid for Warner Bros by Netflix and Paramount.
I posted the comment below but it was referred instead to a FT moderator. I checked later on 14th Dec, and saw my comment was published, and in full.
The article by Gapper did not delve into a number of issues, perhaps because of cowardice. He only hinted at underlying concerns (issues).
I therefore gave my suggestions of the underlying reasons which Gapper did not unearth but instead just stated a few safe but tantalising words.
The reason for including my comments here is because they refer to the pro-Israel lobby and the Israeli atrocities that lobby is supporting in Palestine and the Middle East (financially, politically, and militarily).

Helping Palestine Lullaby get to No.1 in the songs hit list
12 Dec 2025
I got an email today asking me to help get a Palestinian song to no.1 in the hit list.
"A beautiful Palestinian folk song, Lullaby, is being released by Nai Barghouti, Brian Eno, Leigh-Anne from Little Mix, Mabel, Dan from Bastille and others to raise money for children and families in Gaza this winter." said Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC).
"Imagine a Christmas Number One for the children of Palestine? Imagine this track being played on every radio station across the UK - including the BBC.LULLABY is a new version of “Yamma Mweel El Hawa”, a Palestinian folk song that speaks to love and loss, as well as the longing for homeland and freedom from occupation. The single artwork was created by visionary Gazan artist Malak Mattar, inspired by her piece ‘Shelter’.
All profits will go to the Together for Palestine Fund which is held by Choose Love to support Palestinian-led organisations Taawon, Palestine Children's Relief Fund and Palestine Medical Relief Society.
After a year of genocide, grief and heartbreak, let’s send a message of love to the children of Palestine and ensure solidarity tops this year’s festive charts." PSC added.

Murderous fake Christians celebrate Christmas while making Palestinians' lives a living Hell
Those who are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians in 2025 and who have forced Palestinian survivors of genocide and ethnic cleansing to live in inhumane and deadly conditions, include politicians and business leaders who are Christians (fake Christians) residing in the UK, Europe and the US.
They are celebrating their "season of goodwill", going to church, giving thanks to their god, feasting on Christmas turkey and pudding, opening their presents while sitting around their christmas tree toasting their feet over a warm open fire.
I doubt these murderous fake Christians will spare a thought or a prayer for the tens of thousands of Palestinians they, in partnership with Jews, have murdered in 2025 or for the Palestinians survivors they force to live in tents in winter in the cold, people whom the Jews dehumanise and murder.
Many (genuine) Christians around the world will say a prayer for the Palestinians, and they will donate their time and their money to helping Gazans stay warm this Christmas. Many other Jews across the world will continue march in solidarity with Palestinians and people from many other faiths or cultures who stand up for humanity, and will continue to speak out against those Jews who are committing or supporting genocide and ethnic cleansing.

It's winter in Gaza
16 Dec 2025 update
Breaking Points (BP) published a video on 15 Dec 2025 highlighted the extreme conditions Palestinians suffer because of the Israelis' ethnic cleansing and because of a weather storm hitting the region. Thirteen Palestinians died of either hypothermia or collapsing buildings, in Gaza.
They also answer why some BP viewers question BP for talking of Palestinian deaths. BP compare the 15 Australians murdered recently with the average of 10-15 Palestinians, including children, murdered on most days since the fake cease fire began. That average excludes Palestinians who die because of lack of life essentials blocked by the Israelis.
BP said the Israelis won't let in essential items (they block pen and paper and tent poles). Trump's logistics experts returned to the USA concluding that the Israelis are not letting items through-it's that simple; there is no logistical complexity - just Israeli inhumanity.
BP added that Palestinians have been fishing to try and survive, yet the Israelis abducted four Palestinian fishermen.
Where is global media's coverage and horror at these Palestinian deaths by the hands of murderous Israelis who have no respect for ceasefires nor Palestinian human life?
12 Dec 2025
My first day (after a gap of a few years) volunteering for the charity, Care4Calais. I was tasked with finding warm winter coats for infants (1 boy and 2 girls) aged 3-5 (a request had been sent to the charity from people who could be traced as precisely as the room and hotel where they were housed). These three are just a few of the 5000 asylum seekers sheltering in hotels in West London.
The organiser and I went by car to garages where lots of clothes are stored. Large bags hold an assortment of coats that have already been sorted by age. I searched these and pulled out a few coats that looked 'girly' - colourful and patterned, and they were warm. I think another coat was found that looked suitable for the boy.
The lucky asylum seekers are being fed, sheltered and clothed thanks to donations and funding from the council. The people of Gaza are not so lucky. Forced out of their homes and off their land, they have been herded by the Israelis into concentration camps where they live in tents exposed to the chill of winter, and an Israeli sniper's bullet.
The weather in Gaza is currently cool (12-17 degrees C). Fortunately, it's much warmer than England (7degrees C) - see image below (ref), but still cold enough that a warm coat would be welcome for a infant living in a tent in Gaza.

The hypocrisy of the west and Israel on the rule of international law

Western hypocrisy rears its ugly head: one rule for the West and Israel, and another for the rest
12 Dec 2025
Western countries' hypocrisy has been exposed again. FT.com published an article on Russia's reaction to talks in the EU of seizing Russian assets held by Euroclear.
Whether and how to seize the $100s of billions held by Russia overseas has been a longstanding subject of debate in the EU.
The western nations' are hypocrites because they are willing to at least threaten to seize Russia's foreign assets because it invaded Ukraine, but they have not uttered a word about similarly seizing Israeli assets for its invasion of Palestine. Nor has any individual country, nor, as far as I know, has any mainstream media channel.
Nor is there any talk among the EU elites of seizing US assets if it invades Venezuela, which it has been threatening to do for some time.
Yet again, western elites show their double standards. It's one rule for their "own", and another for outsiders.

Warped pro-Israel lobby says Ms Rachel is antisemitic for defending the rights of Palestinian children
11 Dec 2025
The warped minds of the pro-Israel faction was further exposed when they branded a woman, Ms Rachel, antisemitic because she has defended the human rights of Palestinian children.
Watch this 3.5 min video on 04 Dec 2025 by Middle East Eye that highlights her campaign and the twisted minds of the pro-Israeli faction that say she is antisemitic. That label is yet another lie by these disgusting supporters of genocide of Palestinians, including women and children and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, by the Israelis.
"The American pro-Israel group StopAntisemitism has included children’s content creator Ms Rachel on its “Antisemite of the Year” list, targeting her for highlighting the suffering of Palestinian children.
StopAntisemitism has repeatedly attacked Ms Rachel on social media for sharing content with her more than 20 million followers showing starving Palestinian children and highlighting the plight of youngsters who have lost limbs in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Rachel Griffin Accurso, widely known as Ms Rachel, is best known for her YouTube series Songs for Littles, which teaches toddlers nursery rhymes and early learning concepts.
Glamour magazine recognised Ms Rachel as one of its 2025 “Women of the Year” for championing early childhood learning and campaigning to help children affected by war worldwide." said Middle East Eye

Rachel Griffin Accurso, widely known as Ms Rachel, is best known for her YouTube series Songs for Littles, which teaches toddlers nursery rhymes and early learning concepts.
Glamour magazine recognised Ms Rachel as one of its 2025 “Women of the Year” for championing early childhood learning and campaigning to help children affected by war worldwide." said Middle East Eye
82% of Brits want Israel out of the Eurovision Song Contest because of its genocide of Palestinians, and 69% want the UK out of it if Israel remain
11 Dec 2025
I stumbled across this video by Wally Rashid about the 2024 winner of the contest returning his award in protest at the organiser of the contest allowing the Israelis to compete. Well done that guy for standing by his principles and condemning the contest organiser, EBU, for including the Israelis in the 2026 contest.
“If the values we celebrate on stage aren't lived off stage, then even the most beautiful songs lose their meaning. I'm waiting for the moment those words and actions align. Until then, this trophy is yours.” 2024 Contest winner
Rashid sees through the fake empathy of the EBU's spokesperson writing in response to the 2024 winner's action:
"So, you just put out a statement pretending like you actually care, pretending like you're a good person, but not actually doing the one thing you actually have power to do which is to drop Israel." said Rashid
The hypocrisy of the EBU spokesperson, Martin Green, is disgusting to see: he says the Contest represents unity of nations even in times of geopolitical conflicts and so that is why Israel is allowed to stay in the competition, yet the Contest kicked Russia out of the Contest after it invaded Ukraine. The double standards are disgustingly obvious.
Mint Press News said in its 11 Dec 2025 post:
A recent YouGov poll found that 82% of British people believe Israel should be excluded from the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest. The survey specifically addressed Israel’s participation in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held in Vienna, Austria.
In the same poll, 69% of Britons stated that the UK should withdraw from the contest if Israel is allowed to compete. Three-quarters of Britons also felt that the decision to ban Russia from Eurovision after its invasion of Ukraine but allow Israel to compete was “inconsistent”.
I found, by accident, a motion calling on the UK government and the BBC to withdraw from the 2026 Contest in protest at Israel's inclusion in the Contest. I noticed my MP had not signed the motion so I sent her an email on 11 Dec 2025 asking why she had not signed? (see my email below).

Call for action to end the repressive and inhumane conditions of detained Palestine Action prisoners
11 Dec 2025
Eight prisoners associated with Palestine Action are currently on hunger strike, in protest over the repressive and inhumane conditions of their detention in British prisons. Several have been hospitalised and their health is deteriorating quickly, so they need urgent intervention.
These prisoners, along with 24 others, are facing trial for allegedly taking action to prevent arms manufacturers from shipping weapons to Israel, used in its genocide against the Palestinian people. They are being held on remand, some of them for up to two years, without having been convicted of any crime; their communications with family and friends have been censored; and their right to a fair trial is being restricted, with some of the documents relevant to their defence withheld from their or their lawyers’ view. These conditions are completely unacceptable, and a violation of the prisoners’ basic human rights, which should be guaranteed in a democracy.
John McDonnell MP has tabled Early Day Motion (EDM) 2386 calling on the Secretary of State for Justice to intervene and make sure the prisoners' conditions are improved and their rights are upheld.
I was asked by Palestine Solidarity Campaign to email my MP to ask them to add their name to this important EDM.
The families of the imprisoned activists are working tirelessly to secure justice for them. We were honoured to have two family members of imprisoned activists speaking at our last national march for Palestine, to spread the word about their case and their demands.
Watch their 90-second video clip, here
Over 70,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocide, including over 20,000 children. It is the perpetrators of that genocide, and the British politicians and companies arming them, who should be facing trial. Instead, the government has cracked down on those protesting against genocide and is now denying the rights of those who are imprisoned awaiting trial for what is hard to regard as anything other than political reasons.
The right to a fair trial, including reasonable bail conditions, is an absolute right that must be protected in a democratic society. The health of the hunger striking prisoners is deteriorating rapidly, so this situation is urgent.

Katie Phang's silence on the US-Israel genocide of Palestinians
11 Dec 2025
I've spent a lot of time watching independent reporting platforms discuss US politics, including one hosted by Katie Phang (Phang).
I don't watch Phang's videos much these days, since I noticed her silence on the US-Israel genocide of Palestinians and their ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
I sent Phang an email yesterday (link) questioning her silence. Whilst my email did not bounce, I don't know whether she'll actually receive it, read it, or reply to it.

Trump is applying his Palestine ethnic cleansing policy to ethnically cleanse the US of non-whites
Sawyer Hackett posted a video on Tik Tok about Trump rolling out in the US his ethnic cleansing policy - currently being rolled out by him and the Israelis in Palestine under his fake peace plan.
Trump's goal (probably with the strong recommendation from Stephen Miller) is to make the US "racially homogenous" i.e., code for 'all white'. Trump and Miller have been branded fascists.
He uses euphemisms for ethnic cleansing: "remigration" or "reverse migration".
He has called Somalis "garbage" and said said he wants them to be sent “back to where they came from.”. In his first term. he singled out muslims from entering the US.
He's launched ICE raids targetted at Somalis in Minnesota. He's ended temporary protection to 1 million immigrants (mostly coloured immigrants). He's granted refugee status to one group only: white-skinned South Africans. He has vowed to denaturalise US citizens who "undermine domestic tranquility" and he said: "I will deport any foreigner who is a public charge, a risk to security, or incompatible with Western civilization.", meaning, according to Hackett: deport those who are not white.

Disgusted to learn US Senate-hopeful, Jasmine Crockett, is pro-Israel
10 Dec 2025
I can relate to people of colour who have suffered at the hands of white people. Think of the slave trades of the plantation owners of the US and England who got rich off slave labour and slave trading. Think of South African apartheid. Think of the US civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King.
With so much history to relate to, and being from the same group as these enslaved and oppressed people, I find it incredible that Jasmine Crockett supports genocide and apartheid and ethnic cleansing by the Israelis.
TYT published a video of Crockett's record on Israel and it is shocking to learn she supports Israel, and not just a little but loyally.
How to reconcile this moral contradiction? Money I suspect, as usual. I did not see her listed as taking any AIPAC money but that does not mean she is not getting funded covertly by the pro-Israel lobby. Plus, Crockett has been to Israel on an AIPAC-sponsorfed trip, in 2023. She takes corporate PAC money.
These revelations of Crockett's moral fibre sit alongside those revelations about other US politicians (Schiff and Whitehouse). I also thought they were, like Crockett, decent folk, until I also learned where they stand on the Israel-Palestine issue. See earlier posts for more on them.
Crockett's record: Apr 2024: she voted to send $26bn of taxpayers' money to Israel; Apr 2024: she condemned the phrase to 'from the rivers to the sea, Palestine will be free' as being antisemitic. It is not antisemitic; She has not called for a ceasefire; she voted to provide military aid to Israel.
When asked about 'funding Israel', she responds with garbage: she dodges the question by waffling and what she says is incomprehensible and so it's garbage. "That answer was horse crap. Like, what was that?" said Kasparian after listening to it.
"Our alliance [US-Israel] has been longer than I've been alive" and "that area [Palestine or the Middle East] is confusing; even the Romans wanted it" These are nonsense political answers says Uygur. Herr answers underline her ignorance. They also shows she has no concern for the human suffering that is so obvious and so real - for which she is directly responsible through the support she gives to the Israelis.
"She has given Israel everything they want" said Uygur of Crockett. He also said she lacks real courage, standing up to the Israelis, the doner class, fellow democrats. He says standing up to Trump, which Crockett has done, is easy and does not take real courage, he says.
Kasparian refers to the fake Kamala Harris, the woman who has suddenly changed her tune and is now expressing concern for Palestinians. Kasparian compared her to Trump, theatrical, but an illusion when it comes to delivery.
Now, Crockett is running for Senate. The video of her campaign is pathetic for its lack of information and its focus of attention on her face and nothing else except background audio of Trump's comments about her. It's embarrassing.

Outgoing NYC Mayor and Israel sycophant, Eric Adams, bans BDS and falsely says it is antisemitic
TYT published a video showing that $300m in Israeli bonds and assets are held by NY City. The outgoing mayor, Adams, a sycophant of Israel who openly said to the Israelis "As Mayor of New York, I served you well" has introduced an order banning BDS and says BDS is "antisemitic". BDS is not antisemitic. He is a liar as well as a corrupt politician in the pocket of the Israelis.
Odd that Adams has not banned the Russian BDS or called such boycotts anti-Russian. Will the incoming Mayor (Mamdami) reverse Adam's Israel BDS order, given he is in favour of BDS?
The video also showed Netanyahu arrogantly challenging Mamdami to arrest him when he next visits NYC. Will Mamdami stick to his pledge to arrest Netanyahu, as he must under the UN arrest warrant? Will he have the guts or is he just another politician with a forked tongue?

Pro-Israel oil company blocks class action lawsuits
09 Dec 2025
FT.com published an article about a pro-Israeli company (it's called Zion oil & gas) that drills holes for oil based on "faith". Comments to the article include:
"As of September no revenues from drilling……. Maybe they’re studying the wrong bible"
"They also created two charitable foundations in Israel and Switzerland. Sounds like a legitimate, reputable company to me!"
My comment can be seen here.
Perhaps using faith to find oil explains why it has performed so poorly for its shareholders, though underperformance might also be because of possible misuse of investors' money - it is not clear how much the managers have personally gained from investors' money.
This company has now blocked shareholder class action lawsuits against it, which has caused alarm among shareholder rights activists:
“I think we’ll see an uptick of fraud because companies won’t face the public onslaught that could occur when they are caught engaging in malfeasance.”
The reason for including this story here is because it is about a zionist company and because it is another illustration of unfairness and unethical behaviour by the pro-Israeli faction. They are preventing minority shareholders from suing directors and managers for malpractice.
It is disgraceful that the SEC allowed this rule to pass because it protects majority shareholders and disadvantages minority shareholders, including the many retail sharholders who lack the financial resources to launch legal claims themselves so rely on class-action lawsuits.
There needs to be an investigation into why it was passed by the SEC and whether the SEC was bribed or coerced by lobby groups including AIPAC and other pro-Israeli lobby groups.

War criminal Tony Blair kicked off but not into touch, and FT.com continues its misinformation of Israeli atrocities
08 Dec 2025
War criminal, Tony Blair, has been kicked off the pathetically-named board of peace after dissent from "several Arab and Muslim states", according to a 08 Dec 2025 FT.com article, here.
That is good news for Palestinians, but it is no surprise that Blair is likely to exert his influence over Palestinians in another way - through the executive committee mentioned in the equally pathetically-named 'peace plan' that was shamefully endorsed by the UN Security Council.
The FT continued its misinformation about the genocide and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the Israelis post 7 October 2023. They write: "The militant group [referring to Hamas], whose October 7 2023 attack triggered the war". The FT say "attack", when some would say it was not an attack but a prison break-out. The FT call it a "war", when it is a genocide and ethnic cleansing and starving to death of Palestinians by Israelis.
It's not clear why FT.com don't describe Hamas as a terrorist organisation, which is what they have been classed as by the terror states: USA, Israel, and the UK, and instead describes Hamas as a "militant group".

Pro-Israel lobby loses its digital propaganda battle for Netflix, but the war for Netflix continues
08/12/2025
Barely a day has passed and the pro-Israeli media conglomerate, Paramount (that lost out on the bid for Warner), has hit back with a hostile cash bid directly to Warner's shareholders. Its latest bid is backed by pro-Israeli Khushner, a bunch of Arab states, and finance houses. If Warner renege on their sale agreement, they'll have to pay a $3bn break fee to Netflix. The hostile bid is no surprise, nor is the rise in Warner's share price. FT.com article, here.
06 Dec 2025
FT.com published an article on a bid for Netflix.
The pro-Israel lobby has been bidding for Warner Brothers (WBS), so they may further their aim to twist or conceal the truth over the genocide and ethnic cleansing being perpetrated by the Israelis in Palestine, and the capture and control of US politicians, to name just a few of their crimes. There was not a single mention in the article about this aim.
I posted a comment on that battle (see below):

Disgusting double standards at the Eurovision Song Contest, and more FT bias
04 Dec 2025
I reported on this contest in a post in Sep 2025. Its organiser, the European Broadcasting Unit (EBU) should hold its head in shame for allowing the Israelis to compete, and so should the many countries that have chosen to compete alongside the Israelis. In contrast to these reprobates, Ireland, Spain, Netherlands, and Slovenia can hold their head up high knowing they did the right thing by not mingling with such a bunch of dishonourable people.
Allowing the Israelis to compete is an outrageous example of the double standards of the EBU: it banned the Russians for their invasion of Ukraine but accepts the Israelis even though they have perpetrated a genocide of Palestinians; are ethnically cleansing Palestine; have starved Palestinians to death; destroyed their homes and their land, and murdered tens of thousands of Palestinian women and children. Israelis have broken the fake ceasefire and continued its campaign of murder and blocking humanitarian aid to Palestinians.
No one with even a modicum of humanity and shame could participate alongside the Israelis.
Yet again, the FT (04 Dec 2025 article link) revealed its bias, by saying the Israelis have been engaged in a: "devastating two-year war against Hamas in Gaza" as though Palestinian women and children and their homes, schools, hospitals, and homes were not targets of the Israelis. The FT gave space to Herzog. This is the Israeli who was photographed proudly writing messages on bombs; he claimed there are no innocent civilians in Gaza, thereby encouraging collective punishment of Palestinians - itself a war crime. This is the shameless person who heads an apartheid state.

West bank settlers, the Israeli government, and the IDF are all colluding as one movement to ethnically cleanse Palestine
04 Dec 2025
West Bank reporter, Jasper Nathaniel, was interviewed by Majority Report (link) about two stories.
The first was good news that the violent scumbag Israeli settler who was caught on video as he clubbed the Palestinian grandmother, has been charged with terrorism. Whether anything tangible and proportionate happens to him, remains to be seen, and Nathaniel is under no illusion anything that is fair and just, will actually happen to this scumbag. Nathaniel made the analogy that this scumbag is merely a foot soldier of the settler mafia and the dons remain in control and untouched by the authorities.
The other newsworthy story was of a US citizen, 15 years old: imprisoned for 9 months in an Israeli military 'torture camp' without trial, beaten, denied visits by his family, starved and forced to sign a confession under duress. Why? Because he threw a stone.
That was the plight of this boy and some children captured by the Israelis. They were released in early December 2025. For 5-6 months after he was kidnapped in Feb 2025 by the Israelis, there was no US government interest in his plight. The family and Nathaniel and other groups started a grasroots campaign targetting representatives to contact the Israeli embassy and the US government. A politician called Van Hollen "showed real moral clarity" said Nathaniel, in contrast to some US politicians, including Schumer and Jo Brand, who did nothing even when asked to help.
The Israeli embassy circulated a memo to politicians to smear the boy and encourage the politicians to stop supporting the boy. Netanyahu also spread a false claim about the boy. Prison evidence was released by the campaigners to the US politicians that contradicted what lawmakers were being told by Netanyahu and the Israeli embassy. That contradiction exposed the misinformation campaign of the Israelis and the dirty tricks spurred the US politicians to take action to get the boy released.
It took a grassroots campaign to shame and pressure the US politicians, who then caved and only then did they decide to pressure the Israelis and when they also caved, they released the American boy and the other boys.
"These kids are treated as terrorists by Israel in the same way as Hamas and subjected to the same conditions" said Nathaniel There are another 356 other children, that are known, in Israeli prisons.
The Israeli supreme court ordered (in Nov 2025) the Israeli government to increase the food to prisoners because they were being starved, but the scum bag Govir refused. "The conditions are barbaric; that's why they won't let the Red Cross in; it's why they won't let their families in to visit them...it's [Israeli military prisons] a network of torture camps" said Nathaniel, quoting an Israeli human rights group.
Nathaniel then went on to discuss the violent settlers in the West Bank and he broke the false narrative the Israelis spread - that the violence of the settlers is perpetrated by a fringe group and that the vast majority of settlers are decent folk. The reality is the opposite - another illustration of Israelis twisting the truth 180 degrees. "It's all one movement and the violent settlers are the tip of the spear" he said. He described the sequence of steps involving the violent settlers (VS) and non-violent settlers (NVS) and the government that has the effect of stealing Palestinian land: the NVS scan and select which plots of Palestinian land they want to steal. They instruct the VS to terrorise the Palestinians and drive them off their land. The VS then establish a camp on the stolen land; the NVS move in and establish a permanent settlement; the government authorises and approves the settlement as being genuine and 'legal'. The criticism by the military or the politicians of settler violence is fake and insincere rhetoric. Seder makes the point that the 'legal' settlements are actually illegal - because they are established on stolen Palestinian land.
Nathaniel says there are Israelis who oppose the settler movement but NO Israelis are actually pushing for the settlers to be removed from the west bank, and that is why settlements keep growing, and so different groups of Israelis are parts of the same settlement project.
Seder highlighted the trickle of reporting about what is happening in the West Bank, especially given its closeness to Tel Aviv, where many news organisations are based, is remarkable and telling. It means the few reports that do appear - from independent news platforms about what is happening in the west bank - such as the reporting on the ground by Nathaniel - are appreciated even more because of their rarity.

Nathaniel made the analogy that this scumbag is merely a foot soldier of the settler mafia and the dons remain in control and untouched by the authorities.
The other newsworthy story was of a US citizen, 15 years old: imprisoned for 9 months in an Israeli military 'torture camp' without trial, beaten, denied visits by his family, starved and forced to sign a confession under duress. Why? Because he threw a stone.
That was the plight of this boy and some children captured by the Israelis. They were released in early December 2025. For 5-6 months after he was kidnapped in Feb 2025 by the Israelis, there was no US government interest in his plight. The family and Nathaniel and other groups started a grasroots campaign targetting representatives to contact the Israeli embassy and the US government. A politician called Van Hollen "showed real moral clarity" said Nathaniel, in contrast to some US politicians, including Schumer and Jo Brand, who did nothing even when asked to help.
The Israeli embassy circulated a memo to politicians to smear the boy and encourage the politicians to stop supporting the boy. Netanyahu also spread a false claim about the boy. Prison evidence was released by the campaigners to the US politicians that contradicted what lawmakers were being told by Netanyahu and the Israeli embassy. That contradiction exposed the misinformation campaign of the Israelis and the dirty tricks spurred the US politicians to take action to get the boy released.
It took a grassroots campaign to shame and pressure the US politicians, who then caved and only then did they decide to pressure the Israelis and when they also caved, they released the American boy and the other boys.
"These kids are treated as terrorists by Israel in the same way as Hamas and subjected to the same conditions" said Nathaniel There are another 356 other children, that are known, in Israeli prisons.
The Israeli supreme court ordered (in Nov 2025) the Israeli government to increase the food to prisoners because they were being starved, but the scum bag Govir refused. "The conditions are barbaric; that's why they won't let the Red Cross in; it's why they won't let their families in to visit them...it's [Israeli military prisons] a network of torture camps" said Nathaniel, quoting an Israeli human rights group.
Nathaniel then went on to discuss the violent settlers in the West Bank and he broke the false narrative the Israelis spread - that the violence of the settlers is perpetrated by a fringe group and that the vast majority of settlers are decent folk. The reality is the opposite - another illustration of Israelis twisting the truth 180 degrees. "It's all one movement and the violent settlers are the tip of the spear" he said. He described the sequence of steps involving the violent settlers (VS) and non-violent settlers (NVS) and the government that has the effect of stealing Palestinian land: the NVS scan and select which plots of Palestinian land they want to steal. They instruct the VS to terrorise the Palestinians and drive them off their land. The VS then establish a camp on the stolen land; the NVS move in and establish a permanent settlement; the government authorises and approves the settlement as being genuine and 'legal'. The criticism by the military or the politicians of settler violence is fake and insincere rhetoric. Seder makes the point that the 'legal' settlements are actually illegal - because they are established on stolen Palestinian land.
Nathaniel says there are Israelis who oppose the settler movement but NO Israelis are actually pushing for the settlers to be removed from the west bank, and that is why settlements keep growing, and so different groups of Israelis are parts of the same settlement project.
Seder highlighted the trickle of reporting about what is happening in the West Bank, especially given its closeness to Tel Aviv, where many news organisations are based, is remarkable and telling. It means the few reports that do appear - from independent news platforms about what is happening in the west bank - such as the reporting on the ground by Nathaniel - are appreciated even more because of their rarity.
Catastrophic environmental damage caused by the Dresdenisation of Gaza by the Israelis
03 Dec 2025
I stumbled across this Dec 2024 report on the environmental damage caused by the Dresdenisation of Gaza by the Israelis. This includes the effects of phosphorous bombs dropped by the Israelis - "devices banned under international law by the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW),"

The international supply chain that enables the Israelis to commit genocide of Palestinians, and the destruction, and ethnic cleansing of Palestine
03 Dec 2025
PYM has been investigating the international supply chain that supplies Israelis with weapons to commit genocide, ethnic cleansing, and destruction of the civil infrastructure. One of the companies involved in that chain is Maersk. This article discusses their role in the supply chain, and this one from Declassified.

Twisted pro-Israeli, Hilary Clinton, says social media is a threat to democracy and young Americans.
03 Dec 2025
Watch this clip in a Breaking Points 03/12/25 video (at 11min 50 sec) where Hilary Clinton echoes Hurwitz and says Americans are being fed "propaganda" by watching tik tok and other social media. What a hypocrite she is. The information Americans have been fed for decades through tradional mainstream platforms such as CBS, Fox, MSN, CNN and the like, are NOT impartial nor truthful and are either pro-Israel, pro-Republican, or pro-Democrat party or a combination thereof.
Sami Hamdi (the interviewee) emphatically said Clinton was against Americans listening or watching any media channel except those authorised and approved by her kind, i.e., the pro-Israel supporters. Hamdi said Clinton was saying: "We [Clinton and her kind] are the gatekeepers of information" He said Clinton is also saying: "How dare Americans listen to sources other than those we filter?"
"This [the supply of information for Americans] is about: "Should Americans be allowed to see the truth of what is happening in the world or should they only have the right to listen to Hilary Clinton and listen to that which Israel deems to be legitimate information...?" said Hamdi.
No surprise then that Tik Tok has been taken over by staunchly pro-Israeli supporters to stifle that alternative point of view, and they are hoovering-up media channels to control and direct the narrative that is fed to Americans.
Clinton says alternative social media "is a serious problem for democracy...and it's a serious problem for our young people." It's pathetic for her to suggest people should not be allowed to get their news from alternative channels (social media) and that alt media is a threat to democracy.
As so often with those who spew Israeli propaganda, they twist reality 180 degrees. The risk is Americans NOT watching alternative media because then they will rely on channels owned by the pro-Israeli lobby and they'll be fed lies and pro-Israeli propaganda (as they have been for decades), yet Clinton says watching alt media IS a risk, so what she is saying is the opposite of the truth and rational thought.
Clinton says what people were being told (on social media) was "not just one-sided; it was pure propaganda" Again, she is twisting reality 180 degrees: what Americans are being fed by mainstream media is propaganda. What Americans are seeing on alt media is livestreamed genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Israelis. That is the reality. That is the truth. What they are being fed on mainstream channels is partisan propaganda and lies.
Clinton was speaking at an event organised by Israel's largest newspaper (which is funded by Adelson), so clearly she has been bought by the Israelis and so is duty bound to be pro-Israel in her comments.

Judicial review of Palestine Action accused of being a stitch-up job in favour of UK government and its pro-Israel lobby
07 Dec 2025
Asa Winstanley wrote an article (27/11/25) about the unexplained and unusual change of the judge who was set to rule on the judicial review on Palestine Action, with a panel of three judges, one of whom is Victoria Sharp. Sharp's twin brother, is described as having Jewish heritage and being pro-Israel and he is a trustee of a charity alongside a pro-Israeli supporter, Trevor Chinn. Chinn funds Labour Friends of Israel.
When asked aboout the change of judge, the Ministry of Justice declined to comment - a disgraceful response from the government.
Victoria Sharp was reported as being an adviser to Robert Maxwell, who was reported as being an Israeli spy. Support for that claim can be found from the eulogy of an Israeli prime minister at Maxwell's state funeral: “He has done more for Israel than can be said here today,”
It is obvious therefore that the panel suddenly brought in for the judicial review is not without a conflict of interest given its links to Israel. Not surprisingly, therefore, this change of judge is regarded as a stitch-up by the UK government in favour of its pro-Israel backers.
Winstanley talks about the change of judges and his article, in a 06 Dec 25 video, here. In it he highlights multiple cases against anti-Israel and pro-palestine activists, that should not have been made (examples of 'lawfare').
One involved an MP Alex Davies-Jones, who disgracefully pursued two pro-Palestine supporters, accusing them of harrassing her. It is also disgraceful that the two were convicted and not instead cautioned by police, i.,e., they were treated unnecessarily harshly by the police and the MP in pursuing a charge of harrassment. Their convictions were later overturned on appeal.
"less intrusive" measures such as a police warning or civil action were not pursued prior to prosecution." said the appeal judge. "Their arrest, prosecution, and conviction for harassment were an egregious affront on those rights [of free speech]" said the lawyer representing the two.

Palestine Action judical review ends. Where are the media?
02 Dec 2025
I stumbled across this video by Crispin Flintoff on the last day of the judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action (PA). It reveals shocking examples of the UK government playing dirty: the original judge was replaced three days before the hearing by three judges and without any explanation for the change.
Further, the review included a closed session from which PA's lawyers were excluded and instead they were replaced by a government-appointed lawyer who was barred from discussing with the PA people or their lawyers what happened in that closed session. For all they know, the judges and the lawyers in that closed session watched the latest episode of Eastenders over tea and biscuits. "They've done [the UK government] everything they possibly can to fix the verdict"
What is also shocking is the absence of media outside the Royal Courts of Justice where the hearing took place. The reason for the corporate and state media being absent is because they either controlled by the state (the government) or they are owned by the billionaires who own the corporate media. and both support proscription. "There is no honest mainstream media".
He says the proscription was a panic response (panic, because the UK government has been exposed as being complicit in the genocide) and because it was unable to contain the public reaction over that complicity, it responded in an extreme authoritarian manner, in a panic without thinking it through, such as proscription.

Israeli-funded and pro-Israeli committee of UK MPs grill police chiefs over ban of racist thugs aka Israeli football fans
02 Dec 2025
I stumbled across this Declassified video today of senior UK police officers who were forced to come before the "British parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee to explain the decision [to ban violent and racist Israeli hooligans aka football fans] to a panel of MPs, most of which declared membership of - or donations from - 'Friends of Israel' groups." (link to the video, here).
You would think in a decent democratic society that the MPs on a committee whose aim is to consider the decision taken by the police, would act with impartiality and objectivity and with the aim of determining that the decision taken by the police was fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the British public.
It was a shock therefore to learn that the bunch of MPs on this cross-party committee have been given money or equivalent financial benefits by Israelis or pro-Israeli supporters. Not just the odd one or two MPs. See the image below of the committee members who are conflicted.
These MPs are either Jews or members of Israeli lobby groups, and one or more of them have been funded by these pro-Israel groups. All four MPs are "clearly anti-Palestinian" according to their voting records: Bradley's here; White's here; Kohler's here; Prinsley's here.
Many of the 682 Comments to the video are similarly outraged at the brazen conflicts of interest of these MPs. Here is a small sample:
"******* hell. Why are all these compromised 'politicians' involved in this?"
"Ziocash!"
"Vote no politician that takes Israel money"
"These British politicians are Israeli agents operating against British interests. Disgusting!!!!!!"
"Why are the israelis questioning our Police Chief."
"WTAF?! Is this an inquiry by the British or Israeli government?"
""Before we start, let's all [the MPs on this committee] declare how and why our opinions on this matter are biased and corrupt"
"I've never seen a bunch of politicians so vociferously support a bunch of notorious football hooligans from their own country, let alone thugs from another country. If any groups of fans sung chants abut ethnic cleansing, mass rape and mass slaughter of Israelis or Jews, then they would RGHTLY be banned and all of these politicians here would be backing that strongly."
"What a complete farce. The fact that just about every single politician on the panel stated they were either directly involved or had received donations from ISRL and/or groups directly tied immediately highlights their unsuitability for the panel/inquiry. Let alone the fact that the questioning of the police decision was ludicrous to begin with."
"Why are there Friends of Israel and people receiving payments from Israel allowed to sit on this panel?? They are clearly biased by their own admission and shouldn't be on the panel!"
"Those “friends of Israel” should face The Hague."
"Every single politician there is compromised. We’re all screwed."
"So, basically, apart from the officers, everyone else around the table is either a Zio or has received money from Zios You're doing great, Britain!"
"All credit to the Police and local councillors for holding their ground under such governmental pressure to allow these so-called fans to attend. Please tell me why these officers are now having to justify protecting the British public to this panel of people funded and declared friends of a foreign state! What a complete waste of time and money!"
"Why are this bunch of people with declared israeli interests quizing the police for doing their job, i find it outragous!"

Netanyahu the murderer grovels and lies for a pardon
01 Dec 2025
FT.com published an article about Netanyahu that marks a new low for even this low-life. On the one hand, he has asked for a pardon and on the other, he has lied and said he is not asking for the pardon for his sake but for the sake of the people: “Despite my own personal interest to continue the trial and prove my innocence up to my full acquittal, I believe the public interest directs me differently,”
Like so many other instances, the Israelis twist reality 180 degrees so truth becomes their lies and their lies become the truth.
What is surprising, given the barbarity and inhumanity these Israelis have unleashed on Palestinians, is they have not pardoned the murderer yet. The pardoner, Herzog, is another low-life - he signs bombs aimed at innocent Palestinians and says no Palestinian is innocent - clearly a call for genocide. Perhaps there is a strong enough faction of decent Israelis to deter these murderers and war criminals from issuing the pardon.
Netanyahu has managed to stretch his trial out for years, just as he has managed to stretch the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine for so long - by repeatedly breaking or preventing ceasefires - to stay in power and defer his trial.

US politicians and Netanyahu feast on the blood and bodies of murdered Palestinians for "Friendsgiving"
30 Nov 2025
Israel Friendsgiving staged a theatrical demonstration on 21 Nov 2025 in Washington DC to highlight the atrocities being perpetrated by the US-Israel axis of evil in Palestine. The protestors held a "thanksgiving" dinner with a twist - they ate body parts of murdered Palestinians and they drank their blood.
I guess the event was timed to coincide with the so-called Thanksgiving celebration currently underway in the US. I don't know exactly who celebrates this or what they give thanks for, but this protest gave people a different perspective and hopefully increased awareness of the terror of the Americans and the Israelis on Palestinians.
A 30-sec video clip explaining the purpose of the Friendsgiving is here. A longer clip on Instagram by Itzmagicman, is here, and some stills of this clip can be seen below. A longer description may be seen here on Kim Iversen's video, here. Warning: the images are disturbing so be prepared.
Note the Menu (see the larger image below) that exposes the barbarity of the Israelis: child amputees; organ removal; skin harvesting. Such human body parts brings to mind the Nazis processing Jews' body parts in WWII.(see for example this ref).
The big difference between then and now is today, Israeli inhumanity, genocide and ethnic cleansing are being streamed live to the world every day, yet the powerful and the elites instead of acting to stop the Israelis, actively support them: militarily, politically, financially, and legally (UNSC resolution).
"You're more mad about protest than you are about genocide", said Blumenthal of the "ethno-supremacist" pro-Israelis who are outraged about the theatrical demonstration portraying US politicians and Netanyahu feasting on body parts of murdered Palestinians. (01/12/2025 video )

A UN security council resolution condoning Palestinian genocide.
29 Nov 2025
In a video on 29 Nov 2025 with Napolitano, Wilkerson says of the recent UNSC adoption of the Trump fake peace plan: "We have a security council resolution condoning genocide."
He adds that not a single day has passed where the Israelis have not murdered at least a dozen people in either Lebanon or Palestine since the ceasefires in either Lebanon or Palestine.
He says what was happening before the fake ceasefire in Gaza will continue on a slow burner, i.e., the Israelis will continue to commit genocide and ethnically cleanse Palestine.

Protest rally opposite Downing Street 29 November 2025
29 Nov 2025
It started off as a wet miserable day today but the rain did not stop 100,000 decent people who came to speak out against the atrocities being committed by the Israelis and to show their support for the fight against the Israelis and their enablers (which includes the UK government) of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
I arrived very late but still managed to capture some of the messages on placards and the atmosphere along Whitehall. The speakers' stage was assembled opposite Downing Street so hopefully Starmer and his other genocide enablers will have heard the message loud and clear.
Another peaceful and civilised event, and again orthodox Jews were out with their banners distancing themselves from the barbaric Jews committing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine, and no troublemakers from the pro-Israeli faction visible nor audible.
People use these rallies and large gatherings to raise awareness of their particular causes, which might be unrelated to the main event, or to sell their products. Often there are also beggars or people selling magazines or newspapers (such as Socialist Worker or papers supporting communism). A couple of the images below relate to a protest about the Bahrain regime and shows images of current and former prime ministers shaking hands with, I guess, representatives of that regime. I picked up a leaflet not knowing what the banner was about (read it here). The leaflet talks of the regime's incarceration and torture of people (human rights abuses) including very young people, and its anti-democracy stance.
I also saw at this event banners showing images of "hunger strikers" and a large placard with names of such people (see images below). Again, I was ignorant of the story behind these images. A quick search revealed details - they are Palestine Action protestors who have been imprisoned by the UK government and who are on a rolling hunger strike to protest at: "UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood failed to respond to a letter outlining demands relating to their treatment. These included immediate bail and an end to prison interference with their personal communications, as well as lifting the ban on Palestine Action." (ref).
Peace, human rights, freedom of speech, and democracy are often taken for granted and not given a thought. When they are taken away, the loss is felt. High time therefore, for more people to wake up and defend these precious pillars of human existence. Call them rights or gifts; it matters nought. What is important is to defend them whenever they are attacked by low lifes.
It started off as a wet miserable day today but the rain did not stop 100,000 decent people who came to speak out against the atrocities being committed by the Israelis and to show their support for the fight against the Israelis and their enablers (which includes the UK government) of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
I arrived very late but still managed to capture some of the messages on placards and the atmosphere along Whitehall. The speakers' stage was assembled opposite Downing Street so hopefully Starmer and his other genocide enablers will have heard the message loud and clear.
Another peaceful and civilised event, and again orthodox Jews were out with their banners distancing themselves from the barbaric Jews committing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine, and no troublemakers from the pro-Israeli faction visible nor audible.
People use these rallies and large gatherings to raise awareness of their particular causes, which might be unrelated to the main event, or to sell their products. Often there are also beggars or people selling magazines or newspapers (such as Socialist Worker or papers supporting communism). A couple of the images below relate to a protest about the Bahrain regime and shows images of current and former prime ministers shaking hands with, I guess, representatives of that regime.

The double standards of the Americans and the Israelis that perpetuate their global hegemony and apartheid of Palestinians
28 Nov 2025
I stumbled across this 27 Nov 2025 video by Mearsheimer in which he warns of conflict over Taiwan. His narrative helped me to understand a fact that has irritated me immensely for a long time: why the US is a perennial troublemaker internationally.
Mearsheimer says the US deliberately engages in coercian with China: containment through the establishment of military bases in partnership with strategic allies, expanding the borders of NATO, sanctions, technology restrictions, military encirclement, and diplomatic isolation.
It justifies its actions by claiming it is attacking Chinese authoritarianism, repression, and China's threat to "liberal international order" and the US claims it has a moral duty to counter China in order to stand up for democracy, freedom, and universal values.
Mearsheimer says the US has wanted to monopolise global influence and hegemony and could not bear the ascendancy of another global power (China). He says China did not bow to US hegemony but instead chose to assert its rights as a global power and did so by establishing military might to oppose the US military force, and forming strategic alliances with other nations across the globe, including with the Russians.
He says control of Taiwan is significant to China as it opens the door to the world so for China the debate is not over democracy or authoritarianism but China's access to the world beyond the Western Pacific.
It seems to me that the US in supporting Taiwan militarily and politically, and by building up a military presence around Taiwan, the US has emboldened the Taiwanese government and the US has triggered a confrontation with China that could have been avoided has the US stayed clear of Taiwan as long as China continued to stay clear of Taiwan.
Mearshemimer likens the behaviour of the US to the equivalent scenario where the Chinese provided military support to a US neighbour: Canada or Mexico or established military bases in those countries, or China supported the secession of California or Texas. The US would consider these as acts of war, so why is the US shocked when China takes the same view over what the US is doing with Taiwan? It is because the US is applying double standards, says Mearsheimer.
"This is the fundamental failure of American strategic thinking: we apply a double standard" The US justifies encircling other countries as maintaining order and defending democracy, but when those encircled strengthen militarily and form strategic alliances, the US calls them acts of aggression and destabilisation.
It's the same double standards used by the Israelis: they incarcerate Palestinian civilians in an open air concentration camp and claim that is normality, so when Palestinians break out of that prison, the Israelis say it is an act of war. The Israelis then use the justifiable break-out as justification to commit genocide, collective punishment, and to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians.
The Israelis and the Americans require the Palestinians to give up their weapons as part of a fake peace plan touted by Trump, yet there is no equal requirement on the Israelis to give up their weapons or to withdraw from the land of the Palestinians they occupy illegally.
The Americans and the Israelis claim they are democracies yet they do not allow Palestinians the right to vote in their own land (ref). That is not democracy, that is apartheid. More double standards.
Later the same day, I stumbled across another video by Mearsheimer (published 28 Nov 2025) that provides another example of American double standards in operation. This time in relation to the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Most in the west blame the Russians but don't see or are not told by politicians and the media, the wider story. Mearsheimer explains that US is responsioble for the conflict because NATO expanded eastward and that posed an "immediate existential threat to their [Russia's] security" and that is why they invaded Ukraine. The west would have you believe it was a Russian land grab but it was in response to the US and the west's NATO strategy.
Mearsheimer again exposes the double standards of the US. He says it is equivalent to Russia forming a military alliance with Mexico and placing military bases and weapons along the border with the US. The US would understandably not tolerate that encroachment and it would see it as a threat - which is exactly how Russia reacted, yet the US and the Europeans are opposing Putin and his invasion and supporting Ukraine, and they falsely portray the invasion as Russian imperialism and a land grab. Mearsheimer says Putin invaded sooner rather than when Ukraine was fully loaded with NATO forces and infrastructure.
He says NATO must not be in Ukraine nor a member of NATO and Russia might withdrawe and return occupied Ukraine land, but not Crimea. One point that I found concerning was Mearsheimer said a benefit of the US withdrawing support for Ukraine would mean it could spend more on containing China.
"containing China should be America's top priority with everything else, including Ukraine, being secondary." he said.
If he really meant that, he is encouraging US hegemony. I sent him an email on 30 Nov 2025 expressing my concern with his comments on containment, saying "I strongly disagree with what you are personally advocating (you are not simply quoting US policy)."

Mearsheimer was right about the Israeli lobby
Many articles have recently appeared online about research published almost 20 years ago, by two academics, Mearsheimer and Waltz, that exposed the systemic infiltration of the Israeli lobby in US politics and their orientation of US foreign policy to put the interests of the Israelis first not America first.
The research revelations caused quite a stir in 2006 and triggered the Israeli lobby into action to denounce the research as fake and antisemitic and to smear and ostracise the academics. The irony is, that 'attack and destroy' campaign exemplified in real time the Israeli lobby that the researchers said existed but which the pro-Israeli lobby said did not exist. It is yet another example of how twisted the pro-Israeli lobby is - what they say is very often the opposite of reality, i.e., they lie.
The reason why there is so much public interest now about something that happened decades ago, is because emails of a scumbag have recently been published and they reveal his campaign to smear the two academics and their work. He was aided and abetted in that smear campaign by another pro-Israeli, Alan Dershowitz.
One article, by Drop Site, published on 25 Nov 2025, mentions this smear campaign. It also shows similar efforts by another pro-Israeli, Jeffrey Goldberg. Goldberg said the accusations (of the existence of an Israeli lobby) had also been made in ancient times, i.e., it appears the Israeli lobby is not a recent creation but might have operated in ancient times and over the ensuing millennia.
Goldberg claimed the research was antisemitic. A typical reaction of the pro-Israeli lobby to criticism of Israelis is to immediately say it is antisemitic. I have not read the paper these academics wrote (nor the book that derived from it) but it's possible they were not critical of the Israelis but rather they just presented the facts about the Israeli lobby. Even if the academics' paper was critical of the Israeli lobby, that would still not justify Goldberg or anyone else, calling their work, antisemitic.
Mearsheimer did suffer from the attacks on him by the lobby and to their shame, sections of academia also shunned him. He has, however been proven to be right about the infiltration of the Israeli lobby and its impact on US politics. He has been in demand from independent media channels that have mushroomed in recent years, to talk about the workings of the Israeli lobby and the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis. He is mentioned many times on this website.

FT.com and its euphemisms for US political persecution of students speaking up about the genocide in Palestine
27 Nov 2025
FT.com article today on the drift of students to the EU away from the US. The drop in US applications of just 1% versus the double-digit rise in EU and UK, is not hard evidence that students are shunning the US. My criticism of the article, however, was about it did not mention free speech or the persecution of students who spoke up about the genocide in Palestine. I posted the following comment (I later realised I should have said "applications" not "admissions", and it was too late to edit the comment):
"It is clear there are many factors at play and a reduction of just 1% in US admissions does not show there has been any significant effect from the shocking clampdown on students by the US government.
In that regard, it is disappointing the FT did not mention the US government's shameful persecution and expulsion of students who exercised their right to free speech over the US-Israel genocide of Palestinians.
Perhaps the FT will claim it did refer to student persecution in the US, but cunningly or cowardly, it chose to camouflage it with euphemisms such as: "Trump bump" and "political turbulence".

Why Russia and China did not veto the UNSC resolution
21 Jan 2026
I came across this video today in which Hodges asks Finkelstein for his view on why the Russians abstained on the shameful UNSC resolution. Finkelstein gives three reasons:
1) if the Russians did not go along with the resolution, then the Americans would let the Israelis "annihilate" the Palestinians - ceasefire off and no restraints. In effect: "we're going to let Israel break Gaza's knee-caps if you don't sign" said Finkelstein
2) the Russians would look pious if they opposed the resolution, given so many other countries endorsed it
3) The Russians said of the resolution: "this is a black day in the history of the United Nations" "don't say we didn't warn you"
Finkelstein said of Trump: "A thug; a criminally-deranged megalomaniac; this human wrecking bull had just destroyed the UN" "The UN is now a rotting corpse; it's dead." The resolution abolished 70 years of UN history. He notes the 5-7 page preamble that is normally included with of UN resolutions over the decades, was missing from the resolution just passed by the UNSC, as though there was no UN history of the matter of Palestine.
Finkelstein describes Trump as a pig in white gloves but without the gloves.
25 Nov 2025
Finally, a video that tries to explain why the Russians and the Chinese (R&C), abstained on, rather than vetoed, the shameful UNSC resolution on 17 Nov that meant Trump and the Israelis (the Axis powers, AP) will become a colonial power in Gaza able to run amok with impunity and with the blessing of the UNSC.
Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mathe gave some suggestions on why R&C abstained:
1) because they did not want to be responsible for the likely genocide resuming if they vetoed the resolution. The Americans admitted it would mean war, which I think is code for looking the other way while Israelis resume genocide and ethnic cleansing.
2) they did not want to be isolated
3) they did not opopose the decision of the arab states, including the Palestinian Authority and Turkey, to adopt the resolution
4) Russia did not want to jeopardise talks with Trump regarding Russia's conflict with Ukraine
5) China and Russia did not want to jeopardise trade links with the Israelis, or Russia's diplomatic links with Turkey. R&C also have trade links with the arab states
6) the Palestinians weren't worth it and respecting international law wasn't worth the fallout of a veto.
The passing of the UNSC resolution empowers Israel said Mate, and it confirms the Axis have no regard for Palestinians' inalienable right of self-determination.
Blumenthal reckoned the ceasefire is not over because the Israelis: continue to murder Palestinians, they target Hamas, and they have moved the yellow line farther west (expropriating more Palestinian land) so it's likely Hamas will be provoked into retaliating; they attacked a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon; they attacked a community center.

Colonising Palestine is the latest iteration of western imperialism
25 Nov 2025
I was surprised to hear the word "securitisation" used in relation to the tragedy occurring in Palestine.
Craig Mokhiber mentioned it on the Katie Halper video while discussing the shameful UNSC resolution that endorsed the also shameful trump so-called peace plan. He said: "Securitsation is going to be imposed under this plan, externally by the United States and othe complicit countries."
Mokhiber made some interesting comparisons between Trump's scheme to control Gaza for his personal benefit, and similar manoeuvres by other imperialists in the past.
a) He mentioned the multinational coalition of eight countries, including the US and the UK, that invaded northern China in 1900 and fought the Chinese and pillaged their country. (ref).
b) He mentioned the Belgian, Leopold II, who took Congo for himself - a theft that was approved by European colonial nations. He installed his own mercenaries and proceeded to plunder the land of its natural wealth and subjected the civilians to brutality "including forced labour, torture, murder, kidnapping, and the amputation of the hands of men, women, and children when the quota of rubber was not met." (ref).
I could add another:
c) "Why should we not form a secret society with but one object, the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole world under British rule...Africa is still lying ready for us. It is our duty to take it." said the English imperialist, Cecil Rhodes, before he snuffed out resistance and took African land he renamed "Rhodesia". (ref)

Why oppressors wield their power to maintain the status quo
25 Nov 2025
The subject matter of this Ft.com article is far removed from the tragedy occurring in Palestine, but the two worlds are related because they illustrate the use of power to maintain the status quo and make the powerless suffer as a consequence:
"A lot of space in this piece has been wasted, in my opinion, describing the oddity and spectacle of floor trading. The key issue has been buried and hardly mentioned: "This is profitable for them but makes the exchange less transparent and puts off some investors."
As with other products and services, banks want to maintain the status quo because it preserves the opacity and asymmetry (O&A) of their activities that fuels their profits. If O&A were removed (by moving trading to an exchange) banks would suffer, so they resist attempts to change. As long as banks wield the power to block change, they will continue to rake in profits and others will lose, so the LME will not prosper.
An analogy is the power wielded by the Israeli-US axis of evil (banks) from which they benefit, Palestinians (punters) lose, and the Middle East (LME) does not prosper."
The concept of maintaining the status quo was raised when the Majority Report interviewed Robert Malley on 25 Nov 2025. He is the co-author of a book with Hussein Agha, called "Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine". The book is a history of the peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
"This has been a game that has suited almost everyone other than the [Palestinan] people themselves. It suited US foreign policy interests, it suited Israel; it suited the arab states*... it's even suited the Palestinian Authority because it has been living on the largesse of foreign assistance.. and it has developed its own corrupt inner circle...That is why it [the conflict] has been sustained for so long, because so many interests have converged...finding benefit and profitting from the status quo." he said.
*In response to the observation that the arab states have been hands-off in relation to the plight of the Palestinians, he said: they've been hands-off because the arab states have been complicit and they've have paid lip service (to the cause of the Palestinians). These arab states get economic, military, and security benefits by keeping a cosy relationship with the Americans
He dismissed the two-state solution as fake and a cover, and the idea of one state where Palestinians and Jews can live together. He says "Unfortunately, the most likely outcome is the status quo only getting worse: more ethnic cleansing, more displacement of Palestinians, more land grabs" He had no answer for the hope of both sides co-existing peacefully and each side governing itself. He said there would need to be change on all THREE sides (Palestinian, Israeli, and American). He said why would the Israelis change when the status quo suits them? He said the Palestinians need to be allowed to form a movement that represents the will of the people, and said the PA does not serve that role because it does not represent the Palestinian people (and Palestinians don't support the PA). Rather, the PA is self-serving and is propped-up by foreign interests. He notes foreigners have scuppered chances of consolidation and the formation of a single voice of Palestinians (for fear the representatve might not suit the foreigners), and foreign interests have fragmented Palestinians.

He notes foreigners have scuppered chances of consolidation and the formation of a single voice of Palestinians (for fear the representatve might not suit the foreigners), and foreign interests have fragmented Palestinians.
Drop Site enables Palestinian leaders to be heard
24 Nov
Jeremy Scahill gave an interview on Breaking Points on 24 Nov 2025. He co-authored a 23 Nov 2025 article with Jawa Ahmad on Drop Site, parts of which he mentioned in his interview, but the article has much more besides.
It is also worth reading as it presents the Palestinans' perspective, something that is shamefully missing in western mainstream media that instead presents a biased Israeli and US perspective (link).
Scahill said the Palestinian resistance had a reasonable and moderate proposal that he urged negotiators to recognise.
In essence the proposal was a long-term truce with the Israelis and the imposition of a UN peacekeeping force and a Palestinian police force that would prevent and restrain anyone from brandishing weapons.
"Telling the people that have had a genocide committed against them, now is the time that you have to be stripped of all your weapons, is a sick sentiment that is being foisted upon the Palestinian people." Scahill said.
Scahill said the fake peace plan touted by Trump was a win for Israel because Israel was not winning in Gaza militarily so the plan enabled the intended "annihilation" of Palestinians to be rebranded as a peace plan that requires Hamas to give up its weapons.
Those who approved the UNSC resolution and those who will facilitate it, are each betraying the right of people (Palestinians) to self-determination, and their right to armed resistance to an illegal occupier (Israelis). Netanyahu was unsurprisingly enthusiastic the resolution was adopted as he envisioned Israeli subjugation, if not erasure, of Palestinians: “We believe that President Trump‘s plan will lead to peace and prosperity, because it insists upon full demilitarization, disarmament, and the deradicalization of Gaza.” (ref)
"the history of the occupation shows you clearly that Israel is not willing to give up. If you want us to surrender the weapons, what’s next? There is no answer. It means that either they will kill you or they will kick you out.” Hamdan (ref)
“Israel has become known as a racist state, committing crimes openly in front of the entire world, and is being pursued in international courts. This is the new Israel." Al-Hindi (ref)
“Our struggle is against Israel and inside Palestine, and we are defending ourselves. We are national liberation movements, and we are ready to establish relations with everyone on that basis.” Al-Hindi (ref)

FT.com misreporting
24 Nov 2025
I came across this FT.com article published in Mar 2025, which says at the outset:
"New military leadership, with far right’s support, draws up drastically harsher proposal to destroy Hamas" and
"Israel’s military has drawn up plans to reconquer Gaza in a bid to finally defeat Hamas, paving the way for a long-running occupation of the besieged enclave."
Note the article says the Israelis intend to destroy "Hamas" and to "reconquer Gaza in a bid to finally defeat Hamas"- both intentions are ruses; misleading words that deceive the world into believing the Israelis were fighting a "militant group" and no one else.
The real intention was the Israelis were drawing up plans to render Gaza inhabitable by destroying its civilian infrastructure and its agricultural land, and simultaneously to ethnically cleanse Palestine of Palestinians and murder as many Palestinians either by bullets, bombs, or starvation. The article was published in March 2025. Events since then have proven this real intention to be true and the defeat of Hamas to be false.

Israelis show contempt for ceasefire agreements by murdering hundreds of civilians in Lebanon and Palestine. More FT.com misreporting
24 Nov 2025
FT.com published an article about an Israeli attack in Lebanon, saying the Israeli:
"Raid is first on Lebanese capital since June and puts further strain on year-long ceasefire"
It is disgusting that the FT did not state this attack for what it was: a breach of the ceasefire by the Israelis. Instead the FT journos said the "raid" put a "strain on the year-long ceasefire". The Israelis did more than strain the ceasefire, THEY BROKE IT!
The article included footage of fire balls mushrooming as bombs exploded, yet the FT footnote said: "Israel released footage of its strike on a Hizbollah military commander in Beirut" as if the attack only struck the guy and no one else and nothing else. This was not an Israeli lone sniper aiming at an individual, it was an unannounced Israeli air attack that caused death and destruction far beyond one person. More misreporting by the FT.
The Israeli attack murdered five people and injured 28 injured and to underline the inhumanity and complete disregard for innocent human life, the Israelis did not give a warning of their attack "in a densely packed residential neighbourhood". The FT journos should be credited for exposing the inhumanity of the Israelis for bombing a densely populated area, with a high probability civilians would be murdered as a result.
The militants should be equally condemned IF they deliberately took cover in a residential neighbourhood and thereby used innocent civilians as a human shield, knowing full well of the contempt the Israelis have for innocent civilians.
The Israelis have no regard for ceasefires: Netanyahu said as much: “Israel is determined to act to achieve its goals anywhere and at any time”.
Israel has "continued to strike Lebanon on a near-daily basis, killing more than 300 people since the ceasefire" and an equal number have been murdered by the Israelis in Gaza since its fake ceasefire in Gaza began in October.
As usual, the FT blocked any comments.

Trump the hypocrite
24 Nov 2025
FT.com published an article on the G20 summit in South Africa (SA) and noted Trump did not attend and his criticism of SA as the host. I posted a comment showing Trump is a hypocrite and highlighting his complicity in the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Gaza (see below). I got a message saying "Your comment has been submitted and will be reviewed by a moderator" so it might not be accepted by the FT.
"it was a “total disgrace” that South Africa hosted the event" says Trump, who is partnering with the Israelis in the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, murders boat people, and makes death threats to US Democrats, to name just a few of his crimes.
What a hypocrite!"

More FT.com bias - Judicial review of Palestine Action begins
24 Nov 2025
FT.com published an article today on the Palestine Action review. My analysis of the article showed more views were reported that support the ban than oppose it (8:6), and (as seen in an earlier FT article (see my 19 Nov 2025 post on another tab)), the views of the prosecution were presented but not the views of the defence. It therefore seems to me the FT are again biased in their coverage of Palestine-Israel.

Chinese government betrays the Palestinians at the UN
23 Nov 2025
The abstentions of the Chinese and the Russians in the UN Security Council's resolution over Gaza were shamefull betrayals of the Palestinians because their abstentions handed Gaza over to Trump and the Israelis, denied Palestinians their right to self-determination and to peace, and allowed the Israelis and the Americans to continue their genocide and ethnic cleansing.
The decision is in stark contrast to support the Chinese ghovernment and the Chinese people, have given to the Palestinian cause. In Feb 2024, China told the ICJ:
‘The Palestinian-Israeli conflict stems from Israel’s prolonged occupation of Palestinian territory’ and that ‘in pursuit of the right to self-determination, the Palestinian people’s use of force to resist foreign oppression and to complete the establishment of an independent state is an inalienable right well founded in international law’. (ref)
There is a dearth of explanation for the Chinese abstention, but I did find this 22 Nov 2025 video of an interview of Zhang Sheng by Pascal Lottaz.
Sheng describes how the Israeli embassy in China tried to get the Chinese government to condemn the 7 Oct 2023 breakout of the open air prison that is Gaza. The Chinese government did make a general statement supporting peace and condemning violence against civilians, but the government refused to bow to the specific demands of the Israelis or to give a pro-Israeli anti-Hamas statement similar to that given by pro-Israel politicians in Europe and the US.
The Israeli embassy was miffed and so it went online in China and spread fake news to try to sway Chinese public opinion in favour of the Israelis and against the Palestinians. One fake report involved an Israeli citizen who has a Chinese mother and who was taken as a hostage.
Sheng says the Chinese people are supportive of the Palestinians (and call them 'dandelions' to reflect their resilience to survive the harsh environment they face). This popular sympathy and support makes it all the more puzzling that the Chinese at the UN abstained rather than vetoed the resolution. The puzzle is not so hard to solve because government policy does not always reflect the will and mood of the people.
"Ever since 7 October, the Chinese netizens have been overwhelmingly in support of the Palestinian struggle by all means, including armed struggle." Zhang Sheng, Mar 2025 (ref)
Sheng says the Israelis discussed how to punish the Chinese for not bowing to their demands on how to respond publicly, in a pro-Israeli way, about the events in Gaza. The Israeli embassy excluded undesirable comments on their online platform and left others on, i.e., for a country (Israel) that claims to be a democracy - perhaps calling itself the only democracy in the middle east, it was seen to be manipulating comments on its online platform to show only those it approved of and excluded the critical comments. So much for free speech.
He mentioned a long history (40 years) of relationships between Israel and China. China's government was very pro-Palestine many years ago but that declined as trade relations increased between the countries, however, he says young Chinese have a very negative perception of the Israelis. He said Chinese often make the comparison of what the Israelis are doing in Gaza to what the Japanese and German Fascists did in WWII.
On the key question: why did the Chinese not veto and instead abstain? He gives a fuzzy and unclear possible reasons, including: the Chinese did not have sufficient motivation to use the veto. He also thinks a reason was the Chinese did not take the UN seriously given past efforts by the Chinese and others to stop the genocide proved useless in stopping the Israelis, so he thinks the Chinese no longer took the UN seriously and so abstained.
Both plausible reasons are not credible in my opinion. The consequences of abstaining were so great for the Palestinians that the Chinese had to take the resolution very seriously and so they had to veto for the sake of the Palestinians. Lattaz suggested the Chinese had no confidence in the rule of law actually being obeyed by the Israelis and the US, so even if the Chinese did veto, the veto would not achieve anything of value to the Palestinians (the Israelis and the US would then still do as they chose regardless of the veto), so the Chinese thought: why pick a fight with the US and the Israelis by vetoing the resolution and let us instead just abstain. Sheng agreed with this assessment of why the Chinese did not use their veto. Sheng suggested that the only way to stop the Israelis was resistance on the ground in Palestine - perhaps he was expressing the thoughts of the Chinese and why they abstained, i.e., the only way to stop the Israelis is local resistance and international law is not going to be a deterrant, so a veto won't help.
Sheng says the Chinese government supports the principle of the right of armed struggle against an invader, i.e., the Israelis invading Palestine. The Chinese do not consider Hamas a terrorist group. The interview also discussed the meaning of the term "terrorist" and that it is an abstract and ambiguous term.
Zhang Sheng wrote a long article in Mar 2025 in Mondoweiss that covers some of the points, and more, mentioned in the interview above.
See this Oct 2025 article on the relative silence of Russia and China on the genocide in Gaza. See this Aug 2025 TRT article which says China has said (in its 2024 human rights report, issued by the State Council Information Office), "The United States has been serving as an accomplice to the genocide in Gaza,” and: Washington “has exercised its veto power seven times to block United Nations Security Council resolutions calling for a ceasefire.” Is telling to see that the Chinese have singled out the US, i.e., they have NOT said Israel is committing the genocide.
See this June 2025 article on the cosy trading and diplomatic relationship between Israel and China and the supply of chinese drones to the Israelis, and the $19bn of exports to Israel by China in 2024, almost double that of the US.
My view is the reason the Chinese abstained was they wanted to protect their trade and diplomatic ties with the Israelis. In so doing, in my opinion, the Chinese government has lost credibility and respectability on the world stage and in the eyes of its people.
Wang Yi, the Chinese Foreign Minister, said on 18 Nov 2025: “Any post-conflict arrangement for Gaza should reflect the fundamental principle of ‘the Palestinians governing Palestine’ and must adhere unwaveringly to the ‘two-state solution'” (ref). Too little, too late, and he did not give a reason for the abstention rather than veto.

US politician, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has resigned. I have no interest in this woman; I mention her only in relation to Palestine. I posted my comment about a FT.com 22/11/25 article on her, that mentioned the genocide in Palestine:
"To her credit, she is one of a very small number of US politicians who called the atrocities perpetrated by the Israelis (and by its fixer, the US) in Gaza a genocide, but to her shame, she did so belatedly.
The DC swamp will be one member fewer.
Good riddance."

Trump the murderer is openly making death threats to US politicians
22 Nov 2025
Trump is without doubt a murderer - just look, for example, at what he has done to boat people and to Palestinians, and to people around the world who died when USAID was cut.
He has now made death threats to US democrats who had earlier warned Americans not to carry out orders that are illegal or unconstitutional (see image below) of his Tweet (ref).
Trump's latest threats are further proof that he is not fit for office and he is not decent nor is he a humane person.
Far from leading by example and choosing his words with care, Trump's threats are encouraging people to make death threats and to murder these democrats, and some of those democrats are now being given 24/7 protection.

"Better the devil you know than the one you don't"
22 Nov 2025
FT.com published an article today about a secretive broker organising the removal by air of Palestinians who have chosen to flee rather than continue to suffer from the genocide, starvation and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the Israelis and their enablers across the globe.
The organisation is in league with the Israelis who, like the Americans, want to ethnically cleanse Palestine of Palestinians.
“In Gaza, we were all like the living dead...like any person in Gaza, I searched for a way to survive that hell.” said one of the Palestinians who fleed.
What is shocking is these Palestinians do not know where they are heading. The article says they landed in South Africa and were kept onboard for 12 hours before being given 90-day visas. They are currently being supported by South African charities, but what if that ends?
Imagine the shock of landing in a country at the foot of a human rights index, such as in China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, or Rwanda - a destination to which the UK government desperately tried to send its asylum seekers.
Palestinans' desperation to flee from the atrocities heaped on them day after day for years by the Israelis is understandable, but while they are saying good riddance to one vile oppressor, they might be heading into the clutches of another. Like they say: "better the devil you know than the one you don't"

More FT.com biased reporting and misinformation
21 Nov 2025
FT.com published a 17 Nov 2025 article on the UN Security Council's approval of a plan touted by Trump and his lackeys. Parts of it have been rejected by Hamas and no country has so far agreed to be part of the force to be deployed in Gaza.
FT.com refers to Gaza as the "war-ravaged Gaza Strip" a description that fails to attribute the ravaging to the Israelis' Dresdenisation of Gaza - a bombing campaign that has razed Gaza to the ground and left it looking like Hiroshima after the US dropped its nuclear bomb.
FT.com says Hamas fought a war with Israel "which lasted more than two years." Again, the FT fails to add that the war waged by the Israelis was mostly against the Palestinian civilians not against Hamas when looked at in terms of the numbers of people murdered by the Israelis or at the extent of civilian infrastructure razed to the ground by Israeli bombs. As a minimum, the FT should have said the Israelis waged their war on Palestinian civilians and Hamas.
FT.com repeated its claim that the 10 Oct 2025 ceasefire was tenuous: "tenuous ceasefire took hold between Hamas and Israel", but it remains a false claim. The ceasefire has not held in relation to Palestinian civlians. The Israelis are engaging in stop-start ceasefire tactics and despite a ceasefire, they continue to bomb and murder hundreds of innocent Palestinians. When it suits them, the Israelis resume the "ceasefire".
FT.com said Hamas "retains control of almost half of the besieged enclave." but FT.com did not mention the Israelis occupy 53% of Gaza (according to Scahlill-see post below), and they occupy it illegally, and the Israelis also illegally occupy the West Bank.
It is not clear why the FT points out how much of Gaza Hamas controls and controls legally, but does not say how much the Israelis occupy or that they illegally occupy Palestinian lands. One reason might be FT.com bias for Israelis and against Palestinians.
Since the FT has pointed out how much of Gaza Hamas controls, it's worth making another distinction between the illegal occupiers (the Israelis) and the legal occupiers (Hamas): unlike the Israelis, Hamas has not illegally occupied a foreign land, it has not razed that foreign land's infrastructure to the ground; it has not starved its civilians to death; it has not ethnically-cleansed the foreigh land of its inhabitants; it has not committed genocide of those people.

It is not clear why the FT points out how much of Gaza Hamas controls and controls legally, but does not say how much the Israelis occupy or that they illegally occupy Palestinian lands. One reason might be FT.com bias for Israelis and against Palestinians.
Since the FT has pointed out how much of Gaza Hamas controls, it's worth making another distinction between the illegal occupiers (the Israelis) and the legal occupiers (Hamas): unlike the Israelis, Hamas has not illegally occupied a foreign land, it has not razed that foreign land's infrastructure to the ground; it has not starved its civilians to death; it has not ethnically-cleansed the foreigh land of its inhabitants; it has not committed genocide of those people.
UN Security Council and Arab states turn their backs on international law and on the Palestinians, and bow to US and Israeli colonialism
20 Nov 2025
The UN Security Council (UNSC) adopted Resolution 2803 (2025) on 17 Nov 2025 (read the text, here).
The Majority Report spoke to Jeremy Scahill about the UN security council's appalling approval of the imposition of what could be described as a mercenary force (ISF), that is not under UN control, to control Palestinians (watch the video here from 24 mins). He also talks about the sham peace plan and the Israelis' occupation of Gaza and the denial of Palestinians their right to self-determination. He says Palestinians will not give up their arms, a condition of the UN-endorsed plan touted by Trump and his goons.
He makes the powerful and basic point that if Palestine were operated as a democracy then Palestinians would have the right to vote and they, not the Israelis or other foreign powers, would rule and they (Palestinians) would be masters of their destiny.
Scahill said in a Drop Site interview on 20 Nov 2025, that the UN approval of the resolution was an act that was unheard of, because that approval endorses Trump's control of Gaza and the deployment of a force of foreign occupiers, also under Trumps control, to disarm the Palestinians.
Scahill said the UN has legitimised the US-Israeli axis of power over Palestinians, and it does nothing to pursue the cause of Palestinians and it allows the Israelis to occupy around 53% of the Gaza strip.
Scahill added: the plan endorsed by the UN requires the Palestinians to disarm in order to get essential aid and reconstruction equipment. The UN should be condemned for its endorsement of a plan that enables Israelis' subjugation and apartheid of Palestinians. The plan means a group of people, Palestinians, are denied their right of self-determination and their right to resist occupation including their right to bear arms to defend themselves from the invader and illegal occupier of their land (the Israelis and other foreigners who dare to assume control of Palestinian land).
"This is an extraordinarily dark moment in the history of the United Nations...it's a sickening day, to be quite honest" said Scahill. Scahill adds the plan was endorsed by "major Arab Islamic countries" (Qatar, Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Turkey, according to the electronic intafada-ref) and by the Palestinian Authority, whose leader's legitimacy is "totally in the toilet".
"We are in the midst of one of the most epic lies of history. We are told that the Palestinian resistance is terrorism. If you study the history of self-determination, anti-colonialism, fights against apartheid, nothing about the Palestinian actions here falls outside of teh scope of the types of actions we've seen of of other causes of national liberation...If you look at the over-arching framework, we are told to believe that these are terrorists, a foreign body that has come into the region...Young people and free-thinking people are recognising the lies that have been told...Objectively-speaking, ..."this [the Palestinian struggle for self-determination] is one of the most legitimate causes of national liberation in the history of humanity" said Scahill.
"Russia and China allowed an unprecedented thing to happen [by abstaining on the UNSC resolution and in so doing they allowed a foreign force to be deployed in Palestine, under the control of Trump" He said "Hamas remains the governing authority" [in Gaza].
Scahill says "No one talks about disarming Israel...This is the biggest state terrorist in the region and they're being trated as though they have the mandate to be running around with an international force disarming the people that they are committing genocide against. As the Palestinians say, "this [the fake peace plan] is an attempt to win for Israel through this cajoled blackmail agreement that the UN has now rubber-stamped what they [the Israelis] never have been able to achieve through force, which is murdering every single palestinian or forcing them into fourth class residency in a territory made up of tiny little cantons that are administered by collaborators masquerading as Palestinian officials." said Scahill
Francesca Albanese (UN SR) rejected the plan and condemned the UN's adoption of it, saying:
“The ICJ was clear: self-determination is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people and the UN and all States have an obligation to assist in its realisation. This can only begin with the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Israel’s unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territory. Replacing an abusive trustee with another is not self-determination, it is unlawful”...“Essentially, it [the so-called plan touted by Trump] will leave Palestine in the hands of a puppet administration, assigning the United States, which shares complicity in the genocide, as the new manager of the open-air prison that Israel has already established.”
She also rejected the intended purpose of the so-called stabilisation force, saying: “They [Palestinians] need a protective international presence that ends Israel’s unlawful occupation, stops the genocide and restores their capacity for self-governance. Protection means lifting the blockade, ensuring unhindered humanitarian access, supporting Palestinian-led governance, guaranteeing the right of return and enforcing international law in full,”
She ended by warning: "“To sideline international law renders the UN complicit, undermines the UN Charter and can only lead to “intensifying human carnage”."... “The international community must not allow Gaza’s future - or the future of the Palestinian people to be decided without their agency and consent. Only an approach rooted in justice, legality, and self-determination can lead to genuine peace.” Read her 19 Nov 2025 full statement, here.
There has been widespread condemnation of the UN's adoption of the plan touted by Trump:
The UN SR on housing, said: "This shameful resolution on Gaza by the UN Security Council is fundamentally inconsistent with international law. It is a colonial fantasy" (ref).
Craig Mokhiber in a video interview on the Electronic Intifada on 20 Nov 2025, said the UN's action was ultra vires (outside its powers of action) and it was against international law, adding that the resolution "strips away the right to self-determination" of the Palestinan people, and it empowers hostile forces to govern the Palestinian people. He said the resolution "superimposes a second US-led occupation on top of the Israeli occupation" "It assigns Palestinian rights to the discretion of the United States in consultation with the Israelis and other partners" He noted the resolution was silent on genocide, redress and accountability, the incarceration of Palestinians in Israeli prisons, or the colonisation of the West Bank by illegal Israeli occupiers.
Mokhiber noted Palestinians have the right under International law to armed resistance against foreign occupation, colonial domination and racist regimes, criteria that have ALL been met in relation to the Israeli invaders of Palestine. The occupation force (OF) will be joining the occupation of Palestine and the oppression of the Palestinian people. He confirmed what others have said "there has been no ceasefire" saying the Israelis have murdered Palestinians, destroyed their homes, and blocked aid. He notes the Trump pathetically-named "board of peace" will control all of Gaza, all services and aid, the movement of people in and out of Gaza, all the funding from the reconstruction of Gaza. "Donald Trump can do whatever he wants in Gaza...it's his private domain" said Mokhiber.
Mokhiber said the rules that apply to UN peace-keeping forces will not apply to Trump's OF in Gaza, and that the OF will forcibly disarm Palestinians in Gaza. Israel will have a say in the operation and composition of the OF. He says the OF "is not going to stand up to Israeli aggression and attacks on [Palestinian] civilians"
Mokhiber notes the resolution forces Palestinians to give up their weapons but there is no equivalent obligation on the perpetrators of the genocide - the Israelis - to give up their weapons.
In summary, he says, the UN resolution aims to control, contain, disarm, and disempower Palestinians without touching the Israelis, and to provide security for the perpetrators of the genocide NOT its victims.
He ends by saying the resolution authorises Israelis to continue to occupy Gaza illegally until the US and the Israelis decide that the Israelis should leave, but even if they decide to leave, Israelis will remain indefinitely in Gaza. The two-year Trump mandate to govern Gaza may be extended with consultation with the Israelis BUT NOT with consultation with the Palestinians. Imagine, a country not having a seat at the table to decide who occupies it and for how long it will be occupied by foreigners.
The Israeli and US wave of devastation and murder that has come crashing down on Palestinians and their land has been energised by the illegality and immorality of these two terror states and by their enablers across the globe. No person who believes in truth and justice could put their name to it, but the members of the UN Security did just that, to their utter and enduring shame.
There is no judicial review of the UN Security Council, no appeal, no recourse, and no judicial review. It has done nothing to stop the genocide of the Palestinians, and it has now actually turned the screw on them with its adoption of this resolution. The UNSC has failed by design.
A key feature of the UNSC is the power of veto held by each of its five permanent members that enables the member to block (veto) a resolution. This means that if the UNSC tries to pass a resolution blocking the renewal of the so-called peace plan, then the US could veto that resolution and renew the plan. Read this piece on how the power to veto has been used by the US to enable the Israelis to continue their persecution and oppression of Palestinians over decades.
Mearsheimer said in an 18 Nov 2025 video interview: "The resolution is disgraceful. I find it hard to believe that this is where we have ended up [given the genocide that has been occurring, that people believe Palestinians should have a state of their own or have some sense of self-determination...This resolution is counter to anything that would be sensible from my point of view." "The Palestinians are treated as though they were colonial victims in the 19th century." "They [the Israelis] won't be content until every Palestinian is driven out of Gaza or murdered." The host notes the violations by the Israelis of the ceasefire, i.e., their military and humanitarian aid violations, and she finds it difficult to believe "the devlish duo can be trusted by anybody".
"I thought they'd [the Chinese and the Russians] go to great lengths to prevent this [it would have provided great optics to the world to see them defending what is obviously an injustice]" The host said it was "shameful" that Algeria voted for the resolution. "I was shocked at Algeria and Pakistan" said Mearsheimer of their decision to approve of adopting the resolution. He was also shocked at the high level of support for the plan from the Arab and Islamic states "I can't believe that these countries didn't uinderstand that this was a terrible deal for the Palestinans." He attributes the failure of the Russian alternative resolution and the support for the US version (that was approved by the UNSC) to Trump's ability to use his leverage on these countries so they do his bidding. The host is sceptical that after 110 weeks of the Israelis trying and failing to obliterate resistance, that a bunch of Indonesians or Pakistanis will succeed where the might of the US and Israeli military have failed - it's laughable, never mind their
desire to murder Palestinians who have the right under international law to resist these foreign invaders.
"Unless you kill everybody, there's no military solution to this conflict" said Mearsheimer "We need a political solution."
What does this resolution have on the UN? "The UN is not an important player...the united states runs the show and the united states is joined at the hip with Israel...the UN just doesn't matter." he said. "The United States doesn't take international law seriously at all...and it's going to lead [the disregard for rules-based order] to just more trouble" he adds. The host recalls a description during Biden's time, about rules-based order: "We make the rules and you follow our orders"
The fact that the Israelis flaunted their barbaric behaviour on Tik Tok...and allowed people...to see what they were up to has had a devastating impact on how many people think about Israel and how they think about America's relationship with Israel." He notes that while there has been a sea-change down below (at the level of ordinary US citizens), "the problem is at the policy level, there has hardly been any change at all...in terms of how we [USA] should deal with Israel." says Mearsheimer. He talks of the "special relationship" the US has with Israel and says: "We [the USA] support Israel unconditionally" "The Israelis own president Trump" On the question of whether or not Biden or Trump could have done more to puchback against the Israelis and their genocide, Mearsheimer says one should not underestimate the extent of problems the Israeli lobby can cause for a dissenting president. "The lobby is just so powerful" he says.
Mearsheimer notes that Trump was able to get the Israelis to stop the genocide so it would not interfere with is inaugeration, and the Israelis obeyed, but Mearsheimer points out the break gave the Israelis a chance to regroup and to "reload the shotgun" and they did so two months after the inaugeration, and Trump did nothing to stop the Israelis restarting their genocide. Mearsheimer also points out that Trump's advisers are super-zionists", such as Khushner and Witkoff.
Mearsheimer defines the "Israel lobby" as a coalition of people who want to maintain the "special relationship" between the US and Israel (which is that the US will do Israel's bidding "no matter what"), and that includes Jews (but not all Jews) and christian-zionists. It includes tech companies, the NYT, Wall St Journal: "[Wall St is] basically like a mouthpiece for Netanyahu govt", US government, including chuck Schumer who says he is a "protector of Israel", plus Randy Fine, Marco Rubio, Blinken - "these are people who are "zionists on steroids" " he says.
Mearsheimer says the lobby got three ivy-league presidents fired: Harvard, Penn, and Columbia. He explains the two-pronged strategy used by the lobby to shut off dissent on university and college campuses: the threat to end university donations from a) rich Jewish and zionist donors and b) from the government.
He adds that there is no freedom of speech anymore on campuses "It shows you the damage that Israel, its supporters in the united states and the lobby more generally have done to freedom of speech here in the united states."
Mokhiber gave this interview on Reason2Resist on 18 Nov 2025, in which he provided further insights into the shameful adoption of the UNSC resolution. With the host, they undertake a detailed analysis and interpretation of the points enumerated in the resolution.

The twisted mind of Sara Hurwitz
20 Nov 2025
The Majority Report published a video today in which Seder expresses his shock at the views of a Jew (Sara Hurwitz) who said to an audience of Jews (Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly):
"You have Tik Tok mashing our young people's brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza, and this is why many of us can't have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything we try to say to them, they're hearing it through this wall of carnage...and I sound obscene" she says
Her agrument is that people (young jews) have become insane (irrational) by seeing what the Israelis are doing to Palestinians in Gaza or in the West Bank, and so people (older Jews) cannot have a sane conversation with them.
Seder says her argument is the same as saying that people's perspective of the Vietnam war was irrational because they had seen real footage of what was happening in the Vietnam war.
"She is basically saying that the introduction of actually being able to see what is going on in Gaza...makes you completely irrational", said Seder. Seder adds that she is saying that young people, because they're impressionable, are getting the wrong idea about what is going on in Gaza, because they're seeing video of it. Her argument is, to any rational and reasonable person, false and irrational.
She goes on to say the use of (Jewish) "holocaust education to serve as antisemitism education...is beginning to breakdown [in this new media environment]" She says "I think holocaust education might be confusing some of our young people about antisemitism, because they learn about big strong Nazis hurting weak emaciated Jews, and they think oh, antisemitism is like anti-black racism right: powerful white people against powerless black people, so when on Tik Tok all day long they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny, Palestinians, it's not surpirsing that they think: oh I know the lesson of the holocaust is you fight Israel: you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people." she says
"The idea that holocaust education was...to be antisemitism education...is...grotesque...To so easily move from antisemitism to being against what Israel is doing in Gaza, as if these are the same things...there is a psychological problem that is going on here with this person." said Seder.
Seder poses the possibility that perhaps this person refuses to believe (in reality); perhaps it's impossible for those images of Gaza to penetrate and affect her; perhaps they are images that she refuses to believe. "I was so shocked to see this video [of this woman expressing such views]" said Seder
That was Seder's take on Hurwitz. This is what Ahmed Shihab Eldin had to say on her remarks:
"Former Obama and Michelle Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz made stunning remarks at the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly, openly admitting that Israel is losing the narrative because young people are seeing the uncensored carnage in Gaza on social media. Hurwitz complains that Holocaust education has “backfired,” that students now side with the oppressed, and that she “sounds obscene” trying to justify Israel’s actions while people are watching Gaza’s destruction in real time. This clip exposes a rare moment when a pro-Israel insider says the quiet part out loud: the problem isn’t the atrocities — the problem is that the world can SEE them." (see her make them in this video clip, here).
My take on her remarks is SHE is the one in denial and SHE is the one who refuses to accept reality for what it really is. She is twisting the reality and saying young Jews are confused when they are not confused nor are they irrational. SHE, not young Jews, is the one who is irrational and who is deluded because she refuses to accept reality. She is another example of how those people who support the Israelis, twist reality 180 degrees.
On the holocaust education, young Jews are making the right assessment when they equate Israelis with Nazis and equate emaciated Jews in the holocaust with emaciated Palestinians today. They are also right to take from the holocaust education that they should oppose the powerful who oppress the powerless, even if that means opposing oppressive Jews. She cannot equate such opposition to these Jews as being antisemitic.
This is Kulinski's outrage at this woman's remarks.
Grayzone published a video, here, on 01/12/2025 about her comments. Grayzone's analysis is more comprehensive.
Grayzone's Mate says Holocaust education is to indoctrinate Jews to believe: "Jews are a special class; they're worthy of protection, but no one else is". Blumenthal says Hurwitz is worried young jews are being exposed to the carnage inflicted by the jews (zionists) and they are turning away from zionism.
Blumental say Hurwitz does not want young jews to equate the holocaust that is happening in Palestine (by the Jews) to the holocaust that happened in Germany (to the Jews), i.e, Hurwitz does not want young jews to see the Palestinians as the Jews of WWII, "which is the correct perspective" said Blumenthal "she wants Jews to be dumb" says Blumenthal - "She wants Jews to get back on the zionist plantation" says Blumenthal, to stay in their "elite ghettos" in the US and not be exposed to an alternative to zionism.
Mate says Hurwitz doesn't want to stop the carnage (as that carnage is a wall preventing young jews from becoming zionists) but she wants young jews to stop seeing the carnage and to stop feeling bad about the carnage and to stop opposing it, that is the problem for her, Mate says. "This is the psychosis of the cult of ziontology" says Blumenthal about Hurwitz.
In the video, Hurwitz says children (young jews) should be denied smartphones, to give ther brains a chance and their mental health a chance, to which Blumenthal says: she wants to brainwash them by denying them smartphones.
It is odd to me that Hurwitz should think seeing the holocaust by Jews of Palestinians is somehow causing brain damage and stress to young jews, when what it is doing is showing them the reality of jews doing to Palestinians what Germans did to jews durijng WWII. Hurwitz is therefore equating seeing the reality of what jews are doing as causing mental stress and brain damage to young jews so her solution is to deny them any access to such images and so to deny them the truth. In short she is saying keep these young jews away from seeing reality. She is "someone who laments the fact that young people can see dead Palestinian children killed by Israel", says Mate. "This is really the way zionists in this post October 7 era think" says Blumenthal, who repeats a quote that says something along the lines of: "Gaza will expose everything, and it has exposed them [zionists]"
Mate says Hurwitz should be de-programmed and expresses concern that these kinds of radicals are in power. "She is exposing the real pathology of zionists after this genocide, which is that they can't find anything wrong with the genocide. The only thing wrong is with the people who oppose it" says Blumenthal.
The Majority Report published a video today in which Seder expresses his shock at the views of a Jew (Sara Hurwitz) who said to an audience of Jews (Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly):
"You have Tik Tok mashing our young people's brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza, and this is why many of us can't have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything we try to say to them, they're hearing it through this wall of carnage...and I sound obscene" she says
Her agrument is that people (young jews) have become insane (irrational) by seeing what the Israelis are doing to Palestinians in Gaza or in the West Bank, and so people (older Jews) cannot have a sane conversation with them.
Seder says her argument is the same as saying that people's perspective of the Vietnam war was irrational because they had seen real footage of what was happening in the Vietnam war.
"She is basically saying that the introduction of actually being able to see what is going on in Gaza...makes you completely irrational", said Seder. Seder adds that she is saying that young people, because they're impressionable, are getting the wrong idea about what is going on in Gaza, because they're seeing video of it. Her argument is, to any rational and reasonable person, false and irrational.
She goes on to say the use of (Jewish) "holocaust education to serve as antisemitism education...is beginning to breakdown [in this new media environment]" She says "I think holocaust education might be confusing some of our young people about antisemitism, because they learn about big strong Nazis hurting weak emaciated Jews, and they think oh, antisemitism is like anti-black racism right: powerful white people against powerless black people, so when on Tik Tok all day long they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny, Palestinians, it's not surpirsing that they think: oh I know the lesson of the holocaust is you fight Israel: you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people." she says
"The idea that holocaust education was...to be antisemitism education...is...grotesque...To so easily move from antisemitism to being against what Israel is doing in Gaza, as if these are the same things...there is a psychological problem that is going on here with this person." said Seder.
Seder poses the possibility that perhaps this person refuses to believe (in reality); perhaps it's impossible for those images of Gaza to penetrate and affect her; perhaps they are images that she refuses to believe. "I was so shocked to see this video [of this woman expressing such views]" said Seder
That was Seder's take on Hurwitz. This is what Ahmed Shihab Eldin had to say on her remarks:
"Former Obama and Michelle Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz made stunning remarks at the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly, openly admitting that Israel is losing the narrative because young people are seeing the uncensored carnage in Gaza on social media. Hurwitz complains that Holocaust education has “backfired,” that students now side with the oppressed, and that she “sounds obscene” trying to justify Israel’s actions while people are watching Gaza’s destruction in real time. This clip exposes a rare moment when a pro-Israel insider says the quiet part out loud: the problem isn’t the atrocities — the problem is that the world can SEE them." (see her make them in this video clip, here).
My take on her remarks is SHE is the one in denial and SHE is the one who refuses to accept reality for what it really is. She is twisting the reality and saying young Jews are confused when they are not confused nor are they irrational. SHE, not young Jews, is the one who is irrational and who is deluded because she refuses to accept reality. She is another example of how those people who support the Israelis, twist reality 180 degrees.
On the holocaust education, young Jews are making the right assessment when they equate Israelis with Nazis and equate emaciated Jews in the holocaust with emaciated Palestinians today. They are also right to take from the holocaust education that they should oppose the powerful who oppress the powerless, even if that means opposing oppressive Jews. She cannot equate such opposition to these Jews as being antisemitic.
This is Kulinski's outrage at this woman's remarks.
Grayzone published a video, here, on 01/12/2025 about her comments. Grayzone's analysis is more comprehensive.
Grayzone's Mate says Holocaust education is to indoctrinate Jews to believe: "Jews are a special class; they're worthy of protection, but no one else is". Blumenthal says Hurwitz is worried young jews are being exposed to the carnage inflicted by the jews (zionists) and they are turning away from zionism.
Blumental say Hurwitz does not want young jews to equate the holocaust that is happening in Palestine (by the Jews) to the holocaust that happened in Germany (to the Jews), i.e, Hurwitz does not want young jews to see the Palestinians as the Jews of WWII, "which is the correct perspective" said Blumenthal "she wants Jews to be dumb" says Blumenthal - "She wants Jews to get back on the zionist plantation" says Blumenthal, to stay in their "elite ghettos" in the US and not be exposed to an alternative to zionism.
