Why is the US providing a USD swap line to UAE?
30 Apr 2026
I video by Dialogue Works included an explanation by Richard Wolff on his guess about the purpose of the US dollar swap line to the UAE.
The UAE has dollar debt that it can no longer service because its oil revenues have fallen because oil; production has been hit by Iranian retaliatiatory strikes. UAE could sell US Treasury bonds but that could trigger a market crash and so to avoid that, Bessent has given a USD swap line to provide the USD so UAE can service its debts.
The swap line is therefore to protect US markets NOT to protect the UAE. This 20 Apr article, however, gives many alternative reasons for the swap line.
Wolff also thought the real reason why UAE has left OPEC is to ramp-up oil sales to take advantage of the exceptionally high oil price.

US cannot defeat Iran militarily so turns to economic warfare
30 Apr 2026
I video by Dialogue Works included an explanation by Michael Hudson of how to bypass economic warfare being waged by Bessent to stop the flow of money to Iran for oil it sells. Bessent has threatened sanctions on anyone who trades with Iran (see his post below).
Hudson said countries threatened by Bessent for trading with Iran could bypass those sanctions by completely stopping to use the USD while continuing to trade with Iran. Avoiding the dollar would also mean avoiding use of the processing and holding infrastructure that surrounds the USD.
China and Russia and probablyIran too, have already launched alternative payment currencies for trading oil and for making and receiving corresponding currency payments.
The focus on sanctions is confirmation that the US realises it cannot stop Iran militarily soit is now tightening its economic warfare screw to destroy Iran.
As usual, Bessent and the US are camouflaging their real reason for attacking Iran with sanctions - the US want to dominate the flow of oil - by saying tthe US's sanctions (aka economic warfare) is to prevent Iran from financing terrorism and having nuclear bombs.
The US are the real terrorists but as usual, their propaganda twists reality 180 degrees.

Western imperialism did not end - it went underground
30 Apr 2026
I came across an article (published 17 Apr 2026) from The Nation - see extract below - that showed the UN and the western countries exonerate and support the US-Israeli Axis of Evil but they treat Iran as the guilty party that deserves to be excommunicated and sanctioned. In short, as the extract from the article says, the Axis and the west are, yet again, twisting reality 180 degrees.
It is a damning indictment of western complicity and the complicity of organisations, cuch as the UN, that appear to be bastions of what is right and but are in reality captured puppets of western hegemony and imperialism.
The type of imperialism and colonisation exemplified by the British Empire has been replaced by an imperialism that uses covert means such as creating supranational organisations such as the IMF, World Bank, and the UN. These appear to be impartial and fair-minded, but in reality they are controlled by the western imperialists to continue their imperialism and hegemony in covert ways. The adoption of the USD for oil trading in the 1970s and the use of USD as a global reserve currency is another subtle but effective means to exert US power and hegemony on other countries. The creation of a global infrastructure of banking and financial payments enables the US to punish countries (Iran being an example) that do not bend the knee to US hegemony and demands.
Most ordinary people do not see this covert coercian and imperialism or they do not understand how it works or its effects. This is because the mainstream media has been captured and has become a propaganda machine for western imperialism and US hegemony. That is why the advent of independent media worldwide has been so effective and essential to expose the covert system that has been created to continue western imperialism after many countries that had been colonised became independent after WWII.

FT.com - Iran will endure effects of US blockade and US-Israeli Axis of Evil's war on Iran. More FT propaganda by omission
30 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece on the rising inflation in Iran because of the war on Iran. I posted three comments. Each was published, for now.
I later checked and noticed the middle comment (about the Israelis) was removed. I therefore posted comment 4) (at the bottom of the images below). It was published.
I chked again later in the day and only comment 1) remained. I therefore posted comment 5 and then 6 (see below - the lowest image is comment 6)). Comments 5 and 6 were published. My comments about propaganda by omission about Israelis are being removed, and so was the comment about childish behaviour.

US engaging in market manipulation
29 Apr 2026
Observors are concluding that the noise from Trump and his sycophants are conscious attempts to manage the markets - his claims of a deal imminently being negotiated with the Iranians. This claim is rubbish given the Iranians have not even bothered to turn up to negotiate. To save face, Trump claims the Iranians are in disarray so HE has chosen to cancel the meeting.
More recently, Bessent has provided a government swap line to make USD available to foreign central banks. A swap line is not needed by the Gulf states so the website, 'Econoclasts' believes the purpose of the swap line is to signal to markets 'don't panic; the US has your backs' i.e., that the US is ready to support markets with USD, just as swap lines were used in the 2007-8 GFC.
The US is about to appoint a Fed chairman who will do as Trump wants, i.e., provide swap lines so markets will be supported if the war on Iran causes further volatility and stress.
They predict the decline of US hegemony and blame Trump for that decline. The say that repeated use of US sanctions to coerce countries has the effect of driving these countries to be less dependent on the US - a decision that accelerates US decline and is dominance.

Pakistani regime's transnational repression
28 Apr 2026
I took a look at Declassified UK today and noticed a video about Imran Khan. It was an interview of a former Pakistani politician and colleague of Khan who fled Pakistan after the regime change and now lives in the UK (Shahzad Akbar). Akbar has been subjected to violent transnational repression by the Pakistani regime for speaking out against the regime but he remains courageously defiant.
Akbar is critical of the British government for not speaking out and supporting Khan who remains incarcerated under inhumane conditions in Pakistan. He mentioned the Pakistani regime took over in a military coup and has incarcerated Khan out of revenge not for any crime. They have charged him with 200 or more charges but he is innocent.
He said the EU is not releasing a report on the Pakistani election in order to preserve their relationship with the Pakistanis. A similar report was damning of the government.
He said the US had ordered political change, i.e., the removal of Khan. See this article for an account of the US's role in removing Khan from power.

Israelis admit they murdered their own on 07 Oct 2023
28 Apr 2026
I stumbled upon an article from Mar 2025 that shed light on the claim that the Israelis murdered their own during the 7 Oct 2023 breakout by Palestinians. I have reported on this claim in an earlier post but until today, I had not seen further information to confirm the claim.
That information came in the form of an article in Skwawkbox in Mar 2025.

Pro-Israeli troublemakers use antisemitism as a weapon to attack Green Party members
28 Apr 2026
I checked out a video by Flintoff today. It was about attempts by pro-Israelis to suspend Green Party members they claim are antisemitic. Mark Adderley was one of their targets.
Tony Greenstein narrated Adderley's charge sheet and said the charges of antisemitism were absurd. "they're all absolute nonsense. None of the allegations constitute anti-semitism" Greenstein said. "there's absolutely no doubt that the Zionists have got their claws into the Green Party and are determined to purge it of anyone who is anti-zionist or pro Palestinian. " Greenstein added.
Adderley gave a statement - reported in The Canary retaliating to the charges and to the Labour politician (Steve Reed) who is a pro-Israeli who is stirring up trouble within the Green Party and using antisemitism as a weapon. Adderley might sue those who have attacked him.
What is difficult to understand is why those in the Green Party who suspended Adderley did so without first hearing his response to the allegations? Are these people on the side of the pro-Israelis who are stirring up trouble and using antisemitism as a weapon?
Greenstein mentioned the IHRA definition. This attack on Adderley illustrates how the IHRA definition is inappropriate because it prevents valid and reasonable comments to be made - it is in effect a gagging device.
Greenstein mentioned the zionists are beyond comparison with Nazis because they are worse than the nazis. "it's torture camp in Sed Tan where they're now raping people and teaching ulsian dogs to rape men anally and so on. It it is beyond even what the Gestapo would have done. " Greenstein said.
I have remained in the Green Party because of Motion A105 that might be passed in the Autumn conference if the pro-Israelis do not again succeed in sabotaging the conference in the way they shamelessly did February's. Were it not for this motion, I would give the Party a wide berth. I had high hopes of joining Your Party but soon retreated when the two leaders (Sultana and Corbyn) engaged in a very public and pathetic spat. It showed they were not fit to govern. The Green Party and Polanski have turned out to be another massive disappointment.

28 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece on the Iranian leaders and negotiations with the US. The piece portrayed divisions among the leaders. It was noticeable how often the piece used the term: 'hardliners or its related forms', 12 times. The FT also mentioned 'regime' 4 times.
The piece talked of "longstanding divisions among rival camps". It says the "absence [of the ultimate leader] from public view" "has compounded the uncertainty." and how assassinations "have left a new generation of leaders to try to navigate the Islamic republic’s deepest crisis."
The piece is an attempt to portray divisions among leaders, and uncertainty over the way forward. These are all true but not negative signs.
The FT could have painted a favourable picture of Iran's leaders: that they are engaing in debate, willing to listen and share opposing views and opinions in the open and to communicate these to the public - all signs of a civilised egalitarian society. Uncertainty is an obvious and inevitable precursor to a decision, clarity, and certainty of the way forward.
The impression created by this piece is that there is, or at least, 'perhaps', no consensus view among the leaders on how to deal with subsequent negotiations.
There is a danger that readers of this FT piece will conflate 'debate' with disarray and lack of direction as a whole among the Iranian leaders - a situation where agreement and a consensus is not being reached among the leaders after debate. Perhaps this is what the FT is trying to achieve.
It is a common ploy of colonialists and imperialists to divide and conquer, to create civil war and chaos. The US and Israelis tried that when they were encouraging and supporting Iranians to rise up and effect a regime change, before they dropped bombs on Iranians and murdered their leaders.
This article asks: Are the Israelis fomenting civil war in Lebanon? and adds: "Israeli officials are explicitly stoking these divisions." (link)
The FT does quote Iranian leaders who claim there is unity "“There is no power struggle at all among top leaders,” and "“With the unwavering unity of the nation and the state, we will..."
The frequent use by FT journos of the words: 'hardliners' and 'regime' in this piece underlines the longstanding bias of the FT to portray the Iranians in a negative way to its readers. This piece follows on very soon after Trump's post (see below) about divisions among the Iranians and claiming that is why he cancelled further negotiations with Iran. Trump is an erratic liar so whatever he says cannot be taken at face value as being true.
It is quite possible that the FT is acting as a PR machine and reinforcing the false narrative sown by the Trump "regime". The US and the Israelis are engaging in many kinds of warfare. This FT piece illustrates their psychological warfare.

Iran must be wary of the Pakistani regime's ties to the US-Israeli Axis of Evil
27 Apr 2026
Pakistan has shown it is an unabashed sycophant and puppet of the US. Recall the press conference where the Pakistani spewed cringeing words of praise and magnificence on Trump - the low-life who is a domestic and international terrorist.
"Sharif ...[praised] Trump as a “man of peace,” reiterating his earlier nomination of Trump for the Nobel Prize and aligning Pakistan with Trump’s proposed Gaza framework." (link).
It should also not be forgotten that Pakistan has incarcerated a political opponent (Imran Khan).
The post below confirms that observers, and especially Iran, should be wary and suspicious of Pakistan given its ties with Trump and with the Israelis. (link)

Helping to stop the misuse of the IHRA definition of antisemitism

I wrote to the UK communist party to offer my support to stop the use of the IHRA definition to attack pro-Palestinian people and groups:
"Hello
I am aware of the work by Ranjeet Brar in opposing the use of the IHRA definition in the NHS and the call for a judicial review.
I'd like to be put on the mailing list - if one exists - for updates on this project, such as events about it.
If I may assist in efforts to prevent the use of the definition as a weapon to attack individuals and groups (such as people in the NHS who stand up for Palestinians), then please let me know how.

The US is waging wars to retain its hegemony and imperialism in a unipolar world that is moving towards multipolarity
27 Apr 2026
I watched Haiphong interview Brian Berletic and noticed his line of thinking resonated with the 'US piracy' argument made by Richard Medhurst about the US seeking to control global energy supply by destroying and controlling energy sources across the globe.
Berletic says the underlying purpose of this is for the US to prevent a multipolar world and instead to maintain a unipolar world that it has dominated for decades. He says the US was not led into the war on Iran by the Israelis but the US has its own agenda - maintaining a unipolar imperialism and hegemony. The Israelis are just one of its many proxies - others include the Ukraine, Australia, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
He says the US is willing to cause worldwide death and destruction so it will, as it did after WWII, be the dominant force to step-in and reap the rewards of resuscitating and dominating badly damaged survivors of a global catastrophe triggered by the US.
He adds the US is in a hurry to spread chaos because it sees China advancing and developing and that growth puts the US at a strategic disadvantage.

Iranian stabbed at Iranian rally outside Downing Street on 22 Apr 2026
26 Apr 2026
I casually decided to check out Flintoff's videos. I was shocked by his video of an Iranian demonstration outside Downing Street on 22 Apr 2026. I was not sure I attended that rally - I don't think I did.
There was a group of Iranian monarchists (pro-Israel and pro-US) also counter-protesting very close to the Iranians - too close.
A pro-Iranian was knifed by an individual - presumably one of the monarchists but I am not sure. The video showed the man attacked with a large gash across his stomach and he was bleeding. Police were with him. The video also showed a man (presumably the attacker) being stripped and restrained by police.
One of the people who was interviewed was very critical of the incompetent and negligent policing methods used. He said the police did not pay enough attention to the risk of attack and violence by the monarchists against the Iranians. He said the monarchists were allowed to infiltrate the Iranians when they should have been repulsed by the police. He contrasted this lenient and careless attitude with the aggressive and heavy-handed policing used on the Iranian protestors.
He talked of the police being lenient and casual about the in-fighting between Iranian factions in England.
This article on 23 Apr in the Canary about the stabbing echoes that two-tier standard of policing. This link is to an article that is critical of the police. A search online identifies multiple violent incidents between Iranian factions.
One of those interviewed said some of the monarchists were criminals and selfishly wanted to instal a monarchy so they would be allowed back into Iran.
The interviewee also noted the double standards of the UK government - they are bowing to the pro-Israeli lobby by seeking to proscribe the IRGC, but were not taking any action to proscribe the Israeli army - the IDF - even though it is committing genocide and other war crimes with impunity.

FT.com - more propaganda by omission by FT
26 Apr 2026
FT.com published an article on 26 Apr 2026 (today), but it did not allow further comments. The last comment was 1 month ago. The article therefore appears to be an updated version of an earlier article. I sent an email to FT about not allowing further comments:
"It is absurd and inappropriate to say "Comments are closed on this story." for an article dated TODAY (26 Apr).
It appears this is an updated article, because the latest published comment was published 1 month ago.
The block of further comments means readers are prevented from giving their point of view or changing the narrative of the article. Such censure allows the FT and its controllers to control the narrative and to spread propaganda."
The article was about Maduro's kidnapping - the US has blocked access to government funds so Maduro and his wife may pay legal fees to fight their case. The block (on funds by the US) is "for foreign policy and national security reasons." The block by the US is petty and vindictive.

FT.com - more FT propaganda by omission
25 Apr 2026
I read the FT this morning. I'm shocked by the number of articles that do not allow comments by readers; three in just one morning.
Banning comments is a very common tactic deployed by the FT, but this frequency is shocking even by FT standards.
I wrote three emails to the FT about each of these articles, saying:
"Yet again, it is utterly disgusting to find that the FT has not allowed comments to its article.
It means readers are prevented from giving their point of view or changing the narrative of the article. Such censure allows the FT and its controllers to control the narrative and to spread propaganda. It is a disgusting way to run a newspaper."
Banning comments is another form of propaganda by omission by the FT. I reckon what is reported by the FT is just the tip of the iceberg on what should be reported to give a balanced view of the landscape so readers can fully understand what is going on.
While greater coverage of what is going on should help readers, it won't if what is written is more propaganda and bias to serve the agenda of FT's controllers, the people who influence and control what is published or not published by the pompously-titled "Editorial Board" of the FT.
The three articles with comments blocked are all about west Asia, so the ban on comments is not surprising. What is surprising is the tacxtic is used so frequently by the FT:

Wars on Iran and Lebanon by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil - an update
24 Apr 2026
Dialogue Works video in which Henningsen discussed Trump's war on Iran and also the Israeli war on Lebanon. He says Iran has a right to control Hormuz because it is under attack from the US and Israel. The blockade by the US is, however, an act of war.
He highlights the depravity of the Israelis who say their assassinations of journalists is not a violation of the ceasefore because they are not soldiers; they say their bombing of Lebanese properties is also not a violation of the ceasefore because they are not "firing" but bombing. "This is the twisted, depraved mentality of the Israeli" said Henningsen.
He mentions the annexation of the Golan Heights by the Israelis with the consent of the Syrian regime, and the attempted annexation of South Lebanon by the Israelis. He says the Greater Israel project will not end there but extend to other countries in the region.

Fake antisemitism used as a weapon against a muslim and pro-Palestine activist, by UK media and pro-Israelis
24 Apr 2026
I came across a Flintoff video from 04 Mar 2026, about a person (Bourne) who has been accused of antisemitism. That malicious and incorrect mischarachterisation has come from certain people, including those in the media (LBC, the Telegraph) and by an organisation called the campaign against antisemitism. The antisemitism label attached by them to Bourne follows an interaction Bourne filmed with a person called Matt Lucas.
The accusation of antisemitism and the mischaracterisation are false and inaccurate because Bourne claims he did not know Lucas is a jew. His gripe with Lucas was solely because Lucas appeared to be anti-Palestinian when he looked at Bourne in a negative way as they were both travelling on the underground.
Bourne asked Lucas about being anti-Palestinian and Lucas said he was not. Bourne posted the video of the interaction and it was twisted by certain people into an antisemitic attack (by a muslim; Bourne) on a jew (Lucas). Bourne is a convert and Lucas is a jew.
Because Lucas is famous and a jew and because Bourne is a muslim, malicious people have broadcast the video Bourne posted and used it to portray to the world an antisemitic attack. That framing has had lasting and deep consequences for Bourne.
He has been dismissed from his job so he has lost income and his character and reputation have been tarnished and he will find it hard to get employment in the industry.
Wikipedia has spread that false presentation and so created a permanent mispresentation of reality and the truth. Wikipedia's record on Lucas says Bourne's video targets Lucas's jewish background and says Bourne used antisemitic language. Neither are true.
Bourne's employer dismissed Bourne for breach of contracts. It's not clear whether Bourne will be able to challenge that decision but he did say he will fight to clear his name smeared by these malicious people. One step would be to have Wikipedia remove the false statements about Bourne. He might also sue the people who framed the incident as antisemitic.
"the consequences were not just confined to social media. They've affected my livelihood, my stability, and my future. And my mental health has been significantly affected by the scale of public shaming and the complete fabrications that followed." said Bourne.
"public judgment has already been formed long before due process has taken place. This is why the conversation around doxing...matters" Bourne added.
"branding someone with a label that does not reflect their intent, particularly when religion was never part of the interaction, is not accountability. It is misrepresentation. This is not about avoiding accountability. It's about fairness. It's about context. And it's about ensuring that the truth, including the fact that there was no knowledge of Matt Lucas's religion at the time, is properly understood. That distinction matters. And look, I will be taking legal action against these responsible for doxing or spreading false narratives
about me...I stand firmly against anti-semitism and I stand firmly in support of Palestinian human rights.
Those two positions are not contradictory." he added.
This is a textbook example in real life of how people use antisemitism as a weapon to attack other people, pro-Palestinian supporters and muslims. Flintoff points out the brazen references in articles to Lucas being a jew and to Bourne being a Palestinian activist and a muslim. These people are inciting anymosity and conflict. They are the ones who should be sanctioned and penalised, not Bourne.

Balzerian shares his views and beliefs about jews
23 Apr 2026
I came across this Dore video where he interviewed Balzerian at length. He is clearly direct and willing to stick to his belief. He is not apologetic about his beliefs and views and will not compromise on them. He is clearly upset with the way things are in US politics and society and about the adverse influence of certain jews on both. He makes the point that he is not, obviously, critical of all jews.
One thing he said that I do object to is reducing US foreign aid - he appeared to be against US foreign aid. USAID cutbacks will lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. I think that aid should continue. The US can afford it.
What must happen is the $1.5 TRILLION to be spent on US defence (aka war) must be redirected to social services and infrastructure.

FT.com - no recognition of the role of the US and Israelis in restrictions on commodities
23 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece about the impasse in Hormuz but said nothing direcly of the US blockade. The article did not mention Iran's blockade nor the US blockade by name - it was noticeably silent on stating the US or Iran blockades (a neutral approach). Even so, the article did not mention that the US is responsible for the impasse and so are the Israelis by a) the US blockade and b) violating the ceasefire in Lebanon. My comment was published:

This video shows two US veterans - one CIA and one military - recounting how the USA (at the time of Reagan) supplied the chemicals for Saddam Hussein to kill his adversaries; how the US supported Iraq for 8 years - it was a proxy of the US.
The US changed suddenly (perhapes because Iraq invaded Kuwait) and was seen by the US as an enemy. The US saw the Iraq-Iran conflict as an opportunity for them to kill each other - that would have suited the US.
To impede the Soviets, the US started to supply weapons to Iran.
This illustrates how the US switch allegiances and cuts loose its allies when they are no longer of use to the US. It also destroys the myth of the US waging wars for moral reasons and for democracy, and that it is willing to use chemical weapons.
Brzezinski was mentioned in the video. I don't know if he was one of the good or bad
Americans, but his quote about Iran is prescient.
“Iraq may have been a preview of that, but it’s still redeemable if we get out fast. In a war with Iran, we’ll get dragged down for 20 or 30 years. The world will condemn us. We will lose our position in the world.”

FT.com - why are US politicians fleeing Israelis and their donations?

FT.com published a piece about US politicians refusing Israeli money and criticising the Israelis. I posted three comments but all were sent to a moderator. I sent them by email, FYI, to Luce. I checked later and was pleasantly surprised that all three had been published and that they got quite a few recommendations

Why are my website stats so low?
21 Apr 2026
I have noticed over the last week, at least, that my viewing stats have been dropping to very low and unusual levels. Today, they were almost rock bottom. I don't know why. I suspect it is because someone does not like my views and has taken steps to make sure my website is not included in search results.
"In collaboration with Amazon, Google launched Project Nimbus in 2021 to provide cloud services to the Israeli government and military. " (link).
I don't know about Weebly's moral stance, or that of Square. I just learned that:
"The company was founded by two Israeli entrepreneurs, Yariv Levin and Dafna Bar-Natan, and it is headquartered in Tel Aviv." but the same website says it is headquartered in San Fancisco. It is now part of a US company, Square (link).

The US is a pirate state that is determined to remain a global hegemon with delusions of superiority
20 Apr 2026
Haiphong interviewed Mercouris. The latter made the important points that the US are behaving erratically and strangely because they are stunned by the defiance and robust resistance shown by Iran and the US cannot make sense of the reality.
He says the US has been under an illusion for decades of their military superiority (and perhaps in other ways too such as white supremacy) but that illusion has been shattered by Iran. He said sooner or later, that illusion would have been shattered and it just happened to be Iran that broke it.
He also says the erratic behaviour is because the US are struggling to treat Iran as equals at the negotiating table; they cannot bear to treat Iranians as their equals when they have for decades been subjugating them and demeaning them ("they're homicidal mainiacs who cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons").
He reminded the audience that the US kept Trump OUT of the room during the operation to steal uranium and rescue the airman, because they feared Trump would give some irrational and disastrous order, i.e., Trump is so erratic and deranged that his own staff keep him away from decision-making.
Mercouris makes the interesting points that the US is a pirate state - it is using its power in "naked self-interest" and without regard for the interests of others. He says the US wants everyone to buy US oil and gas.
He cited Moran of the US who talked of turning the US navy into a protection racket for the US when he said the US wanted payment for controlling the seas. He added that the US wants to destroy others' access to oils so they must use US-controlled oil.
He said the US cannot survive as a pirate state because it does not have the resources (power) of the Russians and the Chinese who could resist (as a policeman) US piracy.
He said everything the US does is with a view to China - to weaken China or prevent it from being a challenger to the US. He said the US is not behaving as a 19th C imperialist - that wants to gain oil for its own use. Instead, the US wants to control oil access by others to weaken them and thereby maintain US hegemony. Murphy of the US said the US will not allow India to develop into an economic giant that could challenge the US, a mistake he said the US made in allowing China to develop economically.
Mercouris agreed with Haiphong who said US hegemony will isolate the US from other countries who see the US as a self-interested hegemon that wants to subjugate countries so the US will remain dominant.
Mercouris said the US blockade was porous - 40 ships had passed through the blockade.

Petition to kick Israelis out of Eurovision Song Contest
0 Apr 2026
PSC asked me to sign a petition (link to Petition) to kick the Israelis out of the Eurovision Song Contest. I signed. This is what PSC said:
"Whilst Palestinians are still facing Israel’s genocide against them, it’s obscene for events like Eurovision to include Israel, giving it a stage to conceal its atrocities.
Palestinians have called on us to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest over its inclusion of Israel.
Permjit, join us in calling on the UK contestant, Sam Battle, to heed the call from Palestinians and withdraw from the competition."
The Petition said:
"To Sam Battle (Look Mum No Computer),
We, the undersigned, ask you to heed the Palestinian call to withdraw from Eurovision, to avoid being part of an event providing cover for Israel’s genocide, military occupation and apartheid against Palestinians.
Israel’s ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip has killed many tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of Palestinians and caused incalculable devastation. In the West Bank, Israel is ramping up its military assaults and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
By refusing to expel Israel, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is providing Israel with a stage to conceal these atrocities by cynically presenting itself as fun and lighthearted in an international arena.
Israel’s participating public broadcaster KAN has repeatedly justified and incited genocide on air, including by publishing a video of Israeli children singing “we will annihilate them all [Palestinians in Gaza].”
Israel’s continued inclusion in Eurovision has been widely condemned. In an unprecedented move, 5 countries have withdrawn from this year’s contest in protest at Israel’s participation. The Palestinian call for a boycott of Eurovision is supported by many thousands of leading artists and cultural workers, hundreds of queer organisations and millions of people across Europe.
By participating in the contest, you are providing endorsement for an event that whitewashes Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. We ask you to heed the Palestinian call and withdraw from Eurovision, joining many of your fellow artists in taking a principled stance against artwashing genocide. "

FT.com published a piece on the capture of an Iranian cargo vessel. My FT comment was published.
Update: After the comment was published, I learned that Iran has said it will NOT attend the next round of negotiations. Trump's reckless piracy has scuppered those talks and therefore the chance, albeit slim, of peace. I think the Iranians were right to snub the US given their piracy.

Israelis in southern Lebanon land-grab
20 Apr 2026
Norlund published a video showing the Israelis had 'taken' an area in southern Lebanon for itself - delineated by its so-called 'defence line'. Note the Israelis cunningly use the word 'defence' when in reality it is an Israeli land grab to expand its control - the greater Israel project in action. It is another illustration of the Israelis twisting reality to cover up their inhumanity and warmongering actions.
It is not clear that the Israelis actually occupy and control this area or whether they are just posturing to take it. Clearly, the Lebanese will have something to say in response. This land grab has occurred during a ceasefire which the Israelis have already violated by bombing Lebanese properties.

It is not clear that the Israelis actually occupy and control this area or whether they are just posturing to take it. Clearly, the Lebanese will have something to say in response. This land grab has occurred during a ceasefire which the Israelis have already violated by bombing Lebanese properties.
Petition demanding UK supermarkets STOP selling Israeli produce
20 Apr 2026
PSC asked me to sign a petition calling on UK supermarkets to stop selling Israeli products. I signed it, but then got a message saying I'd already signed it. The petition said:
"To Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer, ASDA, Waitrose, ALDI and Lidl,
We, the undersigned, demand that you stop stocking all Israeli produce, including dates, avocados and peppers.
Israeli agricultural exporters, which ship fruit and vegetables to supermarkets in Britain, operate farms and facilities on stolen Palestinian land. By stocking their products, supermarkets are contributing to Israel’s land theft, military occupation and apartheid.
During Ramadan, supermarkets in Britain increase their stock of Israeli Medjool dates. These dates are grown in illegal Israeli settlements, often in the Jordan Valley area of the occupied West Bank. Palestinians in the Jordan Valley are facing intensifying land grabs and attacks by the Israeli military and settlers. In January 2026, hundreds of Palestinians were forcibly dispossessed from Ras Ein al-Auja in the Jordan Valley. By selling dates from Israeli agricultural exporters, you are providing the economic underpinning for this violence.
The International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) Advisory Opinion issued in July 2024 is clear that Israel’s military occupation of Palestinian land, including its settlement infrastructure, is illegal and must end. Stemming from this ruling, supermarkets are under an obligation not to trade with Israeli agricultural exporters that do business in Israel’s settlements.
Last year, the Co-op became the first supermarket chain in Britain to commit not to stock any Israeli goods across all of its stores. It’s long past time that other supermarkets follow suit.
We demand that you stop stocking all Israeli products, including dates, avocados and peppers."

EDM 2822 - opposing Israeli annexation of the West Bank and imposing sanctions on the apartheid state of Israel
20 Apr 2026
I was asked by PSC to sign a letter about this EDM. I did so and submitted it on 20 Apr 2026 to my MP. The Letter is reproduced below. PSC said:
"Richard Burgon MP has tabled an Early Day Motion 2822 calling on the government to oppose Israel’s de facto annexation of the West Bank and to impose sanctions on Israel, including trade sanctions and an arms embargo, over its violations of international law."
........
Britain must end its complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land
RE: Please sign Early Day Motion 2822 ‘Government Response to Israel’s West Bank annexation plan’, and demand wide ranging sanctions against Israel.
In July 2024 the International Court of Justice ruled Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory to be unlawful, and called on all states to take measures to bring it to an immediate end. The ruling also made it clear that Israel is committing the crime of apartheid against Palestinians, and that states including Britain have an obligation to ensure they are not supporting these violations of international law and help bring them to an end.
It is inexcusable that after more than a year and a half, and despite repeated calls from MPs and the public, the British government has still not responded to this significant ICJ ruling. During that time, the situation for Palestinians has rapidly deteriorated - with Israel continuing its genocide in the Gaza Strip, and further entrenching its illegal occupation and brutal regime of apartheid against all historic Palestine.
In February, the Israeli government approved a proposal submitted by far-right Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich (a self-proclaimed fascist homophobe), Minister of Justice Yariv Levin, and Minister of Defence Israel Katz, to reinstate the racist land registration process in the illegally occupied West Bank. Israeli ministers have openly described these steps as establishing “de facto sovereignty” over the West Bank.
This latest measure by the Israeli government will be used to further dispossess Palestinians of their land, enable the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, and entrench Israel’s illegal occupation. Large swathes of Palestinian land will be at risk of being registered as Israeli state property. This is a dangerous step further cementing Israel’s theft of land across the West Bank.
Over the last two years there has been a dramatic escalation of state and settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, including the use of arbitrary arrests and detention as a tool to maintain Israel’s illegal occupation. Palestinians are held without trial in Israeli prisons, where they are subjected to torture and unconscionable conditions. At least 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons since the start of October 2023, and Israel is now in the process of introducing the death penalty against Palestinian prisoners.
Please call on the government to respond to the 2024 ICJ Advisory Opinion declaring Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal, and take action including the imposition of meaningful sanctions to end Israel’s violations on international law by adding your name to Early Day Motion 2822.

US forces fire at and capture Iranian cargo vessel in international waters
20 Apr 2026
"What's going on with shipping" published a video about the US blockade forces firing three times at an Iranian cargo ship (the Touska) on 20 Apr 2026. The press release below is from the US central command. Its justification for firing was the vessel violated the US blockade.
The US claimed Touska is sanctioned by the US. Touska's usual voyage is to and from China via Malaysia. It was returning to Iran when the US attacked it in international waters.
The presenter says the capture was in retaliation to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in Hormuz. He also gives reasons to justify the firing instead of boarding the ship to capture it.
There is no information on whether the ship is able to move (the fire was directed at the engines) or where it is. He says the ship will have to be transferred to a commercial port (of a country that will allow the US access) then its containers will need to be offloaded and inspected for contraband.
The US has, in my view, violated maritime and international laws. It has, by its own admission: fired at a commercial ship; boarded and captured that ship.
The ship is sanctioned by the US. The US issues sanctions with an air of superiority, control and dominance over those it sanctions. The reality is those sanctions have no legal or moral justification. Iran could do the same: sanction a US vessel, blockade US ports; fire at and capture the sanctioned US. It could justify its actions because it has sanctioed the vessel. The problem is: Iran has no authority over the US vessel. Its sanctions are, like those of the US, hollow.
The incident exposes the interaction of humans who disagree. The US has created fanciful rules and enforced them with force and violence. It has sanctioned, blockaded, and captured, i.e., it has physically dominated another.
What right does the US have to control another person? The answer is: the US has no right. The word to define the US's behaviour is hegemony "aggression or expansionism by large nations in an effort to achieve world domination. " "Subjugation" would be another apt description of US behaviour. Another clear illustration of this hegemony was the US invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of, and then the incarceration of, Maduro.
One could say that international laws prevent the creation of fanciful laws and rules by an individual, i.e., prevent individuals from taking unilateral action of the kind shown by the US. In that case, the US has not respected international laws. What use are international laws if they are not enforced? The UN is a puppet of the US and the Israelis and it has no intention nor any means to enforce international laws. Some might say the actions of the US are an act of war. The Iranians have vowed to retailiate to this capture.
Societies live in peace when individuals agree to abide by the common rules of that society. In a democracy, those rules are set by the majority who elect representatives to run the government. It seems to me that Trump has no authority (from Congress or the UN) to wage war on Iran - making all his subsequent actions illegal. How will Trump be punished for his illegal actions? I suspect he won't be punished because the UN and organisations established to set and enforce laws are captured and impotent. That is why rogues such as Trump and Netanyahu continue to break laws with impunity.

Israelis use antisemitism and the holocaust as weapons against criticism of the Israelis
19 Apr 2026
I stumbled across a Jimmy Dore video today in which he played a clip of a Polish politician, Konrad Berkowicz, who displayed an Israeli flag with a swastika on it and said Israel was the new Third Reich.
His justification for his comments was the genocide the Israelis are perpetrating in Palestine and the white phosphorous bombs he says the Israelis are using causes suffocation and burning of internal organs and skin. The genocide by Israelis is a fact even though the Israelis deny it, but that denial is no surprise given their appalling habit of lying and twisting the truth and spewing propaganda.
The actions of this Pole were not antisemitic, though the Israelis are saying it was - another trick they play - conflating criticism of Israel with the religion of the jews.
Dore played a clip of an Israeli (Shulamit Aloni) who was a politician. She admitted that the Israelis use antisemitism, the historical suffering of the jews, and the holocaust as weapons whenever Israel is criticised. "It's a trick we always use it"
If someone from Europe criticises the Israelis, she says they respond by mentioning the holocaust in WWII. When someone in the US criticises Israel, the Israelis respond by saying it is antisemitic. She says those Israeli responses (referring to the holocaust, the suffering of the jews, and antisemitism) "justifies everything we do to the Palestinians".
Dore cited the response by the Pole to criticism he received from the Israeli ambassador in Poland, aboiut his actions and comments. The pole replied to the Israeli's condemnation: "And I condemn your genocide across all of Palestine. We condemn what you are doing in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. I condemn your armed assault, your pacification of the population, and your burning of innocent children with phosphorous. You are no different from the Third Reich in this. I consider you Nazis."
Dore then showed another version of the Israeli flag - one with the Neanderthal-looking Israeli seen harassing a Palestinian woman in the West Bank. See my post below for more about that disgusting Israeli.

More than $150bn imported and exported with Israelis -
18 Apr 2026
The BDS movement seeks to pressure the Israelis economically to end their genocide and ethnic cleansing. The BDS at the level of the consumer involves boycotting companies such as Amazon, or banks such as Barclays.
At a higher, country, level, that trade with the Israelis amounted to more than $150bn in 2024.
This chart shows those trading partners at the country level, and the value of each country's trade with the Israelis, as at May 2025. It exposes the hypocrits: notably Spain. Ireland, and Turkey who criticise the Israelis yet they each trade $ billions with them.

The cunning and deceit of the US- Israeli axis of Evil
18 Apr 2026
Haiphong interviewed Henningsen. He reported that the cunning Israelis have been bombing Lebanese buildings by detonating explosives they have attached to those buildings. They then claim that bombing is not a breach of the ceasefire because it is not aerial bombing. For details, read this 19 Apr 2026 MEE article
The cunning Israelis are clearly NOT complying with the spirit of the Lebanon ceasefire but they claim they are complying with the ceasefire.
He says Trump has adopted the Israelis' mode of negotiation - by spinning lies, deflecting, obfuscating, accusing the other side of wrecking a ceasefire. He says, the saying: "Every accusation is a confession" can be applied to what the US and Israelis are saying and doing. He gives the example of the US sending 2 military ships into Hormuz during negotiations with the Iranians, disguised by turning off their signals. That foray was, Henningsen guesses, a ploy to attract fire from the Iranians so the US could then cry foul play by Iran and then accuse Iran of acting in bad faith and scuppering the ceasefire negotiations. These are dirty tricks. He also says the US pulled out of negotations in Pakistan because the Iranians did not have decision-makers present. That is the opposite of reality: the US did not have any decision-makers - Vance was constantly on the 'phone to the US and to Netanyahu. The Iranians came with a mandate and authority to act.
"Like so many things with this Trump administration and with Israel, every accusation is a confession." Henningsen says. He adds the US is "agreement incapable", that the US does not want to restrain Israel and that the US and Israel are feverishly trying to trigger a civil war in Lebanon - where the army fights Hezbollah. He says the Lebanese PM and President are puppets of the US and Israeli regimes.
"the United States is propping up and defending a regime in Israel that is undergoing and undertaking two simultaneous genocides and then we're supposed to say what Hezbollah or terrorists seriously or Hamas is a terrorist threat. Are you are we serious here?" says Henningsen.
He say the world is seeing: "what a farce all of these labels actually are and how these fake phony labels, basically anybody that fights back against Israeli occupation labeled a terrorist," He says these fake terrorist labels against Hamas, Hezbollah and IRGC, underpin the justifications used by the US and the Israelis for waging wars and for the oppressive policies enacted by the west against these 'terrorists'.
"I can say categorically those claims [of Iranian anti-government protesters dying in their tens of thousands] are completely made up and used as justification for the war that the United States and Israel in order to buy public opinion to support an illegal war of aggression." He says those inflated numbers of deaths came from a US-based Iranian human rights NGO funded by the US.
Henningsen also rejected the lies spread by the US and Israelis about Iran developing a nuclear weapon.
"They use these [lies] to build all of their arguments and their policies." says Henningsen.
Henningsen says Trump and his team have twisted the term used by Trump "nuclear dust" to no longer mean what Trump meant by it - radioactive dust from B-52 bombings, but to now mean 'uranium'. It is a cunning attempt to deflect from the serious issue - that Trump has exposed Iranians to radiation through his bombings.
"I think he's [Trump] alluding to a huge crime against humanity. The United States is guilty of nuclear terrorism, as are the Israelis." says Henningsen of the 'nuclear dust' mentioned by Trump inadvertently when he was bragging about the effects of B-52 bombing raids. He says the US politicians and the media are both corrupt because they are not asking Trump to say what he means by "nuclear dust"? Instead they are covering up and remaining silent about it.
Henningsen referred to Richard Medhurst's video about US piracy of oil. He says US policy is to block BRICS to delay US empire decline. He refers to US activity to take oil OFF the market to make US oil and gas more attractive and valuable.
Henningsen added that the US is seeking to leave NATO so it won't be obliged to defend Turkey if, as expected, Israel attacks Turkey.

Palestinian Prisoners' Day - Downing Street, London 17 Apr 2026
17 Apr 2026
I attended a rally opposite Downing Street to protest about the incarceration and the horrific abuse of Palestinians by Israelis held in prisons. There was also a protest by a group on the same subject. They then joined the oncoming marchers who marched along Whitehall to the spealers' platform erected opposite Downing Street.
The rally included a short performance of actors dressed as Palestinian prisoners being verbally and physically abused by Israelis. There is audio played of dogs barking and the words of the depraved Israeli Ben-Govir. He says: "This is not cruelty; this is security. We are facing enemies...you do not give them comfort. They are against us; they are not civilians Terrorists should not be fed; they should not be treated; they should not be protected. Some of them should be dealt with simply - shot in the head. We know what happens when we are weak. We know history, so we will not be weak again. This is how you win." The performance - along with the words of speakers - can be seen in this Flintoff video of the rally. I also briefly make an appearance.

Iran forces US to force Netanyahu to accept ceasefire in Lebanon, but what about Palestinians?
16 Apr 2026
The Cradle announced a ceasefire for 10 days starting midnight 16 Apr. The US wanted further negotiations with Iran but Iran refused until there was a ceasefire in Lebanon. The US has now, it seems, forced Netanyahu to hold fire.
Notably. the ceasefire does not demand immediate withdrawal of the Israelis from occupied Lebanon. That will be discussed in the next US-Iranians talks.
Sweidan notes two reasons for the ceasefire being accepted by the Israelis a) Iranian insistence and b) Lebanese resistance inflicting significant cost to the Israelis in South Lebanon.
It is shocking to hear Sweidan say the Lebanese PM wanted the war on Lebanion to continue and that he was telling the US NOT to bow to Iran's condition for a second round of ralks (that there must be a ceasefire in lebanon). He also said the Lebanese government was trying to steal the US's "thunder" and the US were trying to steal the Iranian's thunder.
Sweidan says Trump gave the Israelis more time to occupy a key village in the south and Trum gave it but the Israelis failed. Not a single village has been occupied in 45 days of attacks by the Israelis - a massive success for the resistance.
While the discussion was very illuminating, it was conspicuous that there was nothing in the discussion on the Palestinians and whether they would be a part of any Iran conditions.

Lebanese government is siding with the Israelis
16 Apr 2026
al Moussawi - a senior Lebanese politician - talked to Drop Site about the talks between the Lebanese government and the Israelis. He describes how the Lebanese government and its army are incompetent and they are siding with the Israelis and they are aginst the Lebanese resistance.
He said the Lebanese resistance chose to attack the Israelis in retaliation to the violations by the Israelis of the 2024 ceasefire and the opportune time to retaliate was when the Israelis were engaged in their attack on Iran as they would be distracted.
He refuted the claim that the resistance is a 'proxy' of Iran. He noted that the Lebanese army is ill-equipped to fight the Israelis and that the Lebanese resistance is therefore filling the gap left by the army.

Israelis continue to violate fake ceasefire in Gaza. engineer starvation, and restrict humanitarian aid to Gazans
16 Apr 2026
Electronic Intafada reports that Israelis continue to murder civilians in large numbers - in the 6 months following the facke ceasefire more than 750 Palestinians have been murdered by Israelis and they have violated the ceasefire 2400 times.
The Israelis use food, medical, fuel as weapons by blocking humanitarian aid. They are engineering starvation by controlling flour and bread. An average of just 200 of the 600 trucks required to be allowed in under the 'ceasefire' are being allowed in each day by the Israelis.
It was too depressing to continue to watch and listen to the rest of the news.

The Israelis are not true semites
16 Apr 2026
Galloway interviewed a guy who is standing in US elections against low-life Randy Fine. He mentioned Palestinians are the true Semites not the Israelis and that 'Semitism' is another thing the Israelis have stolen (from the Arabs or Palestinians). That theft and falseness relating to the true semites was repeated recently by a Palestinian - 'Alawahad' (the NHS medic pursued through the GMC by the pro-Israelis for her support of Palestinians), and it might have also been mentioned by Lubna Speitan - another Palestinian.
I don't know what semites are or how they relate to the Israelis, and I am not interested in finding out. What is interesting is the theft exposes another dirty trick played by the Israelis and another example of their fraudulent behaviour.

FT.com - more propaganda by omission that shields Israelis from criticism. FT continues to block comments, which is another form of propaganda by omission
17 Apr 2026 - Update
I checked this morning and saw that only comments 4 and 2 were published, so the other two have not been published. I sent an email to Gapper today of all four comments, "FYI". It is disgraceful censorship by the FT to block these particular comments and it shows that the FT is shielding the Israelis. I posted a fifth comment today, but it was immediately sent to a Moderator.
Comment 5 – sent immed to a Mod
“"there would be no obvious reason to halt Palantir’s involvement were it not for the political controversy.".
That is an alarming misrepresentation. The controversy is ethical and moral, not political. Palantir is supporting US and Israeli regimes guilty of genocide and ethnic cleansing.”
16 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece by Gapper that was supportive of Palantir. I posted three separate comments. Only one was published (see image below) but removed within about 10 minutes. Two went to a Mod (not published).
I then published comment 4, but that too went straight to a Mod:

The Indian government's siding with the inhumane Israelis is not surprising given Hinduism's abhorent caste system
16 Apr 2026
This interview by Dialogue Works of Alex Krainer reaffirms the view that the Indian government has damaged its standing on the world stage (it was low anyway) because it has sided with the Israeli regime.
That alliance is not surprising given the violence of Hindu nationalists and their caste system and the violence of hindu nationalists and extremists. In their society, untouchables are at the bottom and Brahmins at the top, i.e., they practise inequality and subjugation, and that is what the Israelis have been doing to the Palestinians for decades. They have not stooped to the lows of the Israelis and dehumanised the untouchables.

Shortages caused by the war on Iran will lead to racism and attacks on migrants in countries - it is already happening in Ireland
14 Apr 2026
Davis interviewed Magregor about the war on Iran. Magregor mentioned what is happening in Ireland - the unrest over high fuel prices. He mentioned that the whites will begin to attack the non-white migrant workers when items are in short supply - not just fuel but jobs and food.
He mentioned the 8m Mexicans removed in 1929 because they were in danger of being attacked and because they had employment that the government wanted to give to the American citizens. It was unbridled racism and favouritism. That is beginning to happen in Ireland and will spread across Europe and all other countries that have the same demographics as Ireland.
He mentioned the 1924 Republican gathering where Israel First and the Israeli flag were on full display. He said that to be eligible to hold high office in the US government the politician had to sign-up for Israel First and be approved by Ellison. That is the case with Rubio and Vance. He said most in Congress are not critical of what Trump is doing in Iran because they too are captured by the Israelis.
He mentioned Roy Cohn - a despicable person accordinng to Maggregor because he was Trump's mentor and he instilled in him values and modes of behaviour that are now being witnessed in the war on Iran.

More evidence of the lies and propaganda spewed by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil
14 Apr 2026
I came across a video by Davis interviewing Henningsen. He concluded that the war on Iran will not end until the US cuts loose from the Israelis because only then will it think and act independently. He also exposed the consistent rhetoric (aka trope) that US politicians say because they have been programmed by their AIPAC minders to say them, repeatedly and publicly.
A classic is that the Iranians are homicidal maniacs who cannot be allowed to hold radioactive material, so we must hold it instead. The hypocrisy was not lost - the Israelis and the US Axis of Evil is responsible for geneocide and ethnic cleansing and warmongering across the world, yet they may hold nuclear weapons but not the rational and reasonable Iranians who have not planned to build a nuclear weapon.
Davis exposed the lie that was used to justify the war on Iran - that they were 2 weeks from building a bomb. Vance said publicly that the nuclear material had been buried and was untouched. In that case, there was no way the Iranians would be able to build a bomb in 2 weeks, so there was no imminent threat of a nuclear bomb being made by the Iranians so that reason to start a war on Iran was prven by Vance to be fake and false by his own admission.

FT.com published a live update (on the war on Iran and in particular, the so-called blockade by the US) so my comment was not about an outdated article but an article that was being updated in real time ("live"). My comment was published.
The article shows more FT propaganda by omission.
A second error by the FT is its piece reveals the FT is not fact-checking but regurgitating data issued by the US military. CentComm has lied or simply not published information about its war on Iran (such as downed aircraft or the number of casualties) - it has repeatedly boasted about destroying Iran's naval and air defences yet that is obviously not true, so it is not a credible source. FT should therefore have fact-checked instead of regurgitating US data.
A third error by the FT is its failure to question or notice the discrepancy over what actually is blockaded by the US?

Italian magazine L'Espresso highlights Israeli settler violence, dehumanisation and intimidation of Palestinians

Middle East Eye reproduced an image (see below) of a story in an Italian magazine L'Espresso about Israeli settlers violently oppressing, intimidating, and dehumanising Palestinians in the West Bank. The article is worth reading (see below) for its message, and its link is here.

Israel’s ambassador to Italy has lashed out at a magazine cover highlighting violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, describing it is antisemitic.
The 10 April edition of L'Espresso featured a photograph of an armed Israeli dressed in military uniform and jeering at a Palestinian woman, under the headline "Abuse". This was accompanied by a series of reports examining the expansion of Israel’s settler movement and its impact on Palestinian communities.
Ambassador Jonathan Peled condemned the cover, calling it "manipulative" and accusing the publication of distorting the reality of Israeli occupation.
"The image distorts the complex reality with which Israel must coexist, promoting stereotypes and hatred," he wrote on X, adding that "responsible journalism must be balanced and fair."
The photograph, taken by Italian photojournalist Pietro Masturzo, forms part of a broader body of work documenting life under Israeli occupation. This particular image was captured in the Palestinian village of Idhna, west of Hebron, on 12 October 2025, the first day of the olive harvest.
"Just as the harvest began, a group of armed Israeli settlers (some of whom were wearing army uniforms, like the settler in question) accompanied by real soldiers (with their faces covered) arrived and prevented the Palestinians from picking their olives," said Masturzo.
"The settler's expression is reflected in the gesture he repeats, mimicking the sound a shepherd makes when gathering his flock, addressing the Palestinians as if they were his own animals," added the photojournalist.
Similar images of the same individuals have appeared in international coverage, underscoring the consistency of reporting on settler violence.
Masturzo defended the publication of the image, saying it reflects realities that many prefer to ignore."Together, we are trying not only to report Israeli crimes in Palestine, but above all to support and express our solidarity with those Palestinian photographers who risk their lives every day to denounce the abuses suffered by their people," he wrote on Instagram.
The Israeli ambassador went on to claim, without evidence, that it was "hard to prove" the image had not been doctored.
The magazine’s reporting, written by Alae al-Said, draws on testimonies from Palestinians in the Jordan Valley, where settlers, often backed by Israeli forces, carry out near-daily attacks.
One father of six described how dozens of settlers stormed his village, damaged infrastructure, assaulted residents, demolished homes and seized livestock.
In another case, settlers took control of a vital water spring serving several Palestinian communities. "They've colonised all the water sources," one resident said.
The coverage also pointed to international responses that have failed to halt the violence. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed "concern" over settler attacks last month, but the magazine dismissed such statements as empty gestures that shield Israel from accountability.
"The US remains the main guarantor of the colonisation and genocide of Palestinians, which continues at a slower pace, silently and relentlessly," the report concluded.
Online, thousands of users mocked Peled’s criticism, arguing the image reflects the daily reality Palestinians face under occupation.
One social media user said: "With this one photograph you somehow told the story of contempt and impunity more effectively than thousands of existing images of brutal violence. It’s a reminder of the power that photography can still wield, despite everything."
One user on X wrote, "While they lecture on (journalism) ethics, they've killed 262 journalists."
While another mockingly said that documenting "reality is antisemitic".
Israel has killed more than 72,329 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 172,192 since launching its genocide on 7 October 2023. Thousands more are missing and presumed dead.
In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 1,050 Palestinians since the start of the war, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
Most recently, Israeli soldiers beat a 68-year-old Palestinian woman to death during a raid on her home in the town of Jayyous in the northern West Bank.

This delay in publishing my earlier Palantir comment shows the FT has either delayed, or has removed, my third comment about Palantir. This discrimination confirms my view that the FT is suppressing comments about Israelis and so the FT is a propaganda by omission machine for the Israelis.

Words that offend, shock, or disturb, are not offences
13 Apr 2026
This barrister said that comments said or posted, that shock, offend, or disturb are NOT worthy of arrest in a free and democratic society. He says non-crime hate should not be a reason to arrest a person who has spoken out. He says:
"The freedom of expression firstly is protected by article 10 under E[H]CR. [read Article 10 here] And even the Strasburg court has repeatedly made it clear that this protection extends to all of those ideas and and thoughts and expressions that ...offend, shock, and disturb...and our domestic courts have upheld the same."
He added "Contrary to what the police have previously said, being offensive is not an offense. That is the whole point of the freedom of expression."
"there are recognized limits. There are limits regarding threats. There are limits regarding
harassment incitement particularly incitement to violence or stirring up hatred in certain circumstances. There are laws against menacing communications and gen genuine criminal abuse"
"Offense is not a legal test and being upset is not a legal test. Making a complaint about a matter is not a legal test."

Shameful arrests by police of Palestine Action supporters
13 Apr 2026
Another event I missed was the rally in Trafalgar Square on 11 Apr about support for Palestine Action (PA). This Middle East Eye article says over 500 people were arrested.
These arrests are a change in approach by the police and they could be unlawful because a Februrary court judgement said the PA ban was unlawful, however the government will appeal that decision. Because of that appeal, the police have now chosen to arrest people when earlier they chose not to arrest people.

The French government is trying try to gag free speech critical of Israel by conflating anti-zionism with anti-semitism
13 Apr 2026
Middle East Eye reported the French are pushing a bill that will make it a crime to criticise Israel. The bill is a disgusting attempt to deny people their right to free speech that reasonably criticises the Israelis and their barbarity.
It is clear there are similiarities between the genocide by the Nazis of jews in WWII and the genocide by Israelis of Palestinians today. Laws that prevent a person from speaking of that comparison, are an affront to justice and to free speech. Read a petition against the bill and why anti-zionism must NOT be conflated with antisemitism - a tactic commonly deployed by the pro-Israeli lobby.

Ranjeet Brar arrested for speaking out against Israelis. Also his post-arrest interview
15 Apr 2026 Update
Flintoff interviewed Brar about his speech. See the interview here. Brar remains defiant and courageous post-arrest and release. He appears to be willing to become a full-time activist if he is forced out of the NHS for his activism (he has been suspended).
That expulsion would be a shame and an indictment of the NHS and the UK politicians who are pursuing Brar - likely to include Streeting and Starmer and other pro-Israeli captured politicians.

13 Apr 2026
I have not been following Flintoff for a while but today I took a look. There was a video about Ranjeet Brar giving a speech at a 04 Apr 2026 rally at the US Embassy. I had attended a similar rally in March but unfortunately I was not aware of this one on the 4th.
Brar was arrested for his speech on 09 Apr. A friend or associate of Brar filmed this video of Brar being arrested in his home. Brar says the arrest was instigated by Wes Streeting. It is the fifth time he has been arrested. The video says he was arrested because of "using words to stir up racial hatred contrary to section 18 of the public order act 1986.".
"it's been alleged on the 4th of April at the US embassy in Nam [probably referring to Nine Elms], you've given a speech which was intended to incite or stir up racial hatred using language including [clears throat] that uh Israel needs to be wiped off the face with a map and replaced with the word Palestine in its entirety and stating that Israel has no right to existence due to that." said the policeman
"Can you tell me why that's why that's a racist statement?" asked Brar
"No, I can't." said the policeman
"Israel is a country involved in genocide and speaking against genocide is not a crime and it's not racist...Nothing racist in that statement." Brar added
Brar was released the same day but he has been suspended for two weeks. It is not clear how that suspension can occur and why it occurred. Perhaps it came from Streeting, and he was pushed to do it by the pro-Israelis. This is an article (09 Apr) by the Communist Party of the arrest and suspension.

Green Party Motion A105 - 'Zionism is Racism' - the aftermath
13 Apr 2026
I have not been following Flintoff for a while but today I took a look. There was a video about the appalling events at the Green Party conference on 28 Mar 2026 relating to Motion A105 (see this date for my post about it). I had sent emails to people at the Green Party on 30 Mar and on 02 Apr 2026 about the mess of that day and motion A105, but to-date, I have not received a single reply. That itself is a further indication of poor governance. I have been thinking, again, of leaving the party.
Flintoff posted this 29 Mar 2026 video of the reaction to the mess surrounding A105 and the deliberate sabotaging of the motion.
"we all bear witness to Zionism in action yesterday. Their foul attacks, their wretched filibustering attempts...We will come back 10 times more ferociously. We will refuse to be silent." said Lubna Speitan.
"we basically prioritized a discussion around the neutering of cats. I kid you not, they prioritized a proposition that was explicitly connected to genocide and the underpinning ideology with neutering cats." said Natialie Strecker about a motion on neutering cats that was heard ahead of the motion about genocide of Palestinians.
"in the last 20 minutes they had two votes of no confidence in in the chair with um the second one before anything had even happened after the first one had just been ruled upon and they couldn't even find a second at first. So they spent minutes trying to find a seconder for this ridiculous baseless vote of no confidence in order to stop the discussion on our motion." said Strecker about the delay tactics being used by the pro-Israeli Motion saboteurs.

Arson attack on ambulances could be a false flag by Israelis and the police are remaining silent about it
13 Apr 2026
I have not been following Flintoff for a while but today I took a look.
Flintoff interviewed Miller (on 29 March) about the arson attack on ambulances (see post below on 04 Apr 2026). It is odd (given the gravity of a "terrorist attack") that the two people arrested were bailed the next day - which suggests it was not actually a terrorist attack and they arfe not terrorists. Flintoff also said it was odd the third person had not been found.
It is also odd that no police statement has been issued as an update. Miller says this is to avoid embarrassing the institutions involved, including the police. He adds that it is not the first time the police have remained silent.
The problem with silence is the accused are left tainted and smeared with the original accusations - of antisemitism and that this was an Iranian act of terrorism. That story and the stains will remain in the psyche of readers and will therefore brainwash them - precisely what the real culprits wanted.
Miller said this whole affair has the smell of Mossad being the orchstrators, and he cited many similar events by them. It therefore might have been a false flag by the Israelis to regain support.

US treachery, yet again, on display during its 11 Apr 2026 negotiations with Iran
12 Apr 2026
Haiphong revealed (in his video) reports that while negotiations were underway, US war ships were causing mischief in the Hormuz, and they were camouflaged as commercial vessels - a further illustration of their cunning and their arrogance to do this during negotiations. The Iranians saw the US deception, confronted them, gave them 30 minutes to turn back or they would open fire. The US ships then turned back.
The US has escalated its war on Iran even farther. Not content with sending destroyers into the Hormuz, Haiphong showed a Tweet (see below) by Trump in which he says the US will blockade ships (to "begin shortly") from entering or leaving the Hormuz. Narwani of The Cradle said in a video that the US blockade is a breach of international law.
Narwani said Trump's blockade of ships and boarding them, while they travel in international waters, was piracy, and such piracy contradicts Trump's earlier claims for being in the region to protect ships from piracy. He is therefore a brazen hypocrit. Narwani also exposed Trump's hypocrisy because on the one hand, he was seeking to share the toll income, but now says that toll is "illegal".
Western governments show their hypocrisy - in the past they have ignored international laws that the US and Israelis have broken and which they have also broken, but now they are using international law for their own protection - to avoid being dragged by Trump into his illegal war on Iran.
Narwani mentions "treachery" by the Lebanese government, saying he leadership is trying to incite a civil war. It is clear the Lebanese government is a puppet of the US, is against Iran and is against Hezbollah. The host also mentioned the habit of Israelis murdering journalists - saying there was not much information coming from Lebanon.
Sweidan mentioned Turkey has supported the Israelis more (giving it oil and supporting its economy) than it has supported the Palestinians. He condemns Turkey for serving colonialism and the Israelis when Turkey is a regional power and so is able to exert that power to oppose colonialism (US and the Israelis), but is not doing so in order to make money (Erdogan's family has business interests with the Israelis) and to avoid upsetting the US. He is also jailing his popular opponents and spewing rhetoric about attacking Israel over its bombing of Lebanon - while supporting the Israeli regime - what a hypocrit.
Sixty percent of oil to the Israelis is from muslim countries, including via Turkey. Erdogan is a liar, saying Turkey's oil was going to the west bank when it was not.

Trump is losing the war on Iran not just militarily but also on the propaganda battlefield
12 Apr 2026
This Meidas Touch video shows animations of Trump in a very bad (but honest) light - he is a liar and a warmonger who is getting his just desserts by Iran. The video shows Trump is not only losing the war militarily, but also on the propaganda front. The video says the US has been a leader in propaganda and now it is also losing on that front, to Iran.
The Cradle reported (in a video ) that the company that publishes these animations, has just been taken off Youtube - an illustration of US-driven censorship.

The dangers of misinformation to life and liberty
12 Apr 2026
This MEE article illustrates the damage inflicted by false information - a prominent pro-Palestinian activist and student has lost his appeal against deportation.
"The US government used inaccurate information published in tabloid newspapers in its case against Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil" MEE said
"articles in The New York Post and the Times of India, both of which linked Unrwa to the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel, when they cited Khalil as a former "political affairs officer" for the organisation". UNWRA said there is no such job title.

US turns to piracy of global oil and LNG for profit and to control China and Russia
11 Apr 2026
A shocking revelation by Medhurst (watch his video ) of US piracy of oil and LNG flows across the globe. It explains the rationale for Trump's interest in Greenland and Canada and the US's support for the Ukrainians. All the wars and conflicts (Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Gulf states) can be traced back to a common denominator: the control of oil and LNG. By controlling energy, the US also exerts control over its adversaries that rely on that energy either for revenue or for operations: Russia and China.

FT.com - Badenoch shows her moral compass is broken by siding with colonialism and imperialism

FT.com published a piece on keeping the Chagos islands after US applied pressure on the UK. My original comment (see below) was sent to a moderator. It was not published when I checked more than six hours later, so I published a shorter version, but that too was sent to a moderator.

"Badenoch is siding with UK imperialism and colonialism. She is disregarding the UK's breach of international law and the judgement of the International Court of Justice.”
Original comment
“Utterly disgusting comments by Badenoch that show her moral compass is broken.
Badenoch is siding with UK imperialism and colonialism, disregards the UK's breach of international law and the judgement of the International Court of Justice.
Badenoch brazenly and shamelessly claims UK sovereignty of these islands - land the British took from other European pirates in the 1800s.
The UK must return ownership of the land (including the fiction they call BIOT) to the indigenous people who were forcibly removed by the British (British ethnic cleansing)."

FT.com - puff-piece by a contributor about the British monacrchy and about western 'values'

FT.com published a piece on the British monarch going to meet Trump.

Second comment:
“FT did not publish my detailed comment so I'll just say this article is a nauseating puff-piece about western 'values' and the British monarchy.”
Original comment:
“An nauseating puff-piece about western 'values' and the British monarchy.
"American nationalism." False. It should read "American and Israeli imperialism"
"the reflected status that comes from mixing with royalty" Mixing with royalty does reflect - badly on those who value equality and egalitarianism. It has the opposite effect on those who trumpet their own magnificence, and social climbers.
"the centrality of democracy and the rule of law to the security of the west." The reality is the British overthrew a democratic government of Iran for its oil. The British and the Americans have broken international law, and both are guilty of crimes against humanity in their acts in Palestine. The Americans are following in the well-trodden path of British colonialism and imperialism.
"a shared view of how international relations should be ordered" The writer omitted "....and committing crimes against the natives with impunity."
"the values Britain and its monarch hold dear." What are those values? Curtailing the right of free speech and to protest to hold the government to account. Complicity in an illegal war on Iran and in the genocide of Palestinians. Government lies and propaganda. A government and mainstream media that have been bought and captured by pro-Israelis.

FT.com - brazen bias by FT's pompusly-named "Editorial Board" for the US and for the Israelis
11 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece on "America’s moral leadership". It did not allow comments. I sent a long email to the FT - see below - refuting that lie by the FT of US "moral leadership". A link to the file of my email is here.

The article is a brazen example of FT bias
Re: Comment not allowed - Trump is surrendering America’s moral leadership
For the pompously-named FT "Editorial Board".
It is utterly disgusting that the FT did not allow any comments to this article by the pompously-named "Editorial Board".
It means readers are prevented from giving their point of view or challenging the narrative and framing of the article.
The article is an appalling and toe-curling example of FT bias and sycophancy by the FT for its idol, the US, and its support for the Israelis.
It illustrates the persistent downplaying or omission by the FT of the crimes of the Israelis. The FT does no more than say "Israel’s conduct...has drawn accusations of genocide".
The FT says the Hamas attack was "horrific" but uses no such words to describe the horrific crimes committed (and being committed) by the Israelis in Palestine - the genocide, mass starvation, famine, and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
In contrast to the dearth of description about Israeli and US atrocities being committed in Palestine, the FT has plenty of words to describe crimes committed in Sudan: "multiple atrocities...massive deaths, displacement and famine in parts of the country."
The FT has not a word about the aerial blitz of Lebanon on 09 Apr 2026 in which 50 Israeli jets dropped 160 bombs on Lebanon in 10 minutes, murdering over 250 Lebanese people.
The FT ends with the crass statement:
"Without US moral leadership, though, such efforts may lack real substance. If the mightiest global military power is making little pretence of even trying to uphold the rules, the world is indeed a more dangerous place."
This statement illustrates the sycophancy of the FT for the US. The US has no moral leadership. The US proved that when it committed genocide and ethnic cleansing of natives of north America; when it participated in the transatlantic slave trade; in its many imperialist wars across the globe.
The framing by the FT of its article title: "Trump is surrendering America’s moral leadership" is worth noting. It says the US has moral leadership. The reality is the opposite. The framing is a brazen example of FT misinformation, bias, and propaganda in support of the US.
The FT says in its crass statement: "if" the US is pretending to uphold the rules. The US is obviously not pretending to uphold humanitarian rules - its crimes prove that. The FT has stated, in black and white with the words of the US Secretary of War and Trump, that the US is not upholding humanitarian rules, so why does the FT talk of "pretence" and use "if"? Why does the FT give the US the moral high ground when the US has repeatedly shown it has no high ground, only contempt for humanity and humanitarian rules and for international law?
The FT's bias for the US and the Israelis has shown it is a mouthpiece for them, and so it has no credibility and journalistic independence. The fact that the FT blocked any comments and so any challenge to its propaganda, underlines this fact.
It is also notable that the publication of this piece by the FT concides with the intention to hold negotiations between the US and the Iranians about the 'ceasefire' in the illegal war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil. Perhaps the FT is lending its support to paint over the US's reputation for treachery during negotiations (the Iranians said they enter these negotiations with "complete distrust of the American side.").

This Electronic Intafada video describes in detail the US attempt to rescue downed airmen that might also have involved an attempt to steal nuclear material. Importantly, the video exposes the lack of information about events and the blatant lie about what it said, i.e., these are examples of why the US cannot be trusted .
It talks of the blitz on Lebanon on 09 Apr: "50 [Israeli] fighter jets dropped 160 bombs on 100 targets within 10 minutes."
It shows Caterpillar excavators used by the Israelis to change the landscape of Lebanon - confirming the disgusting Caterpillar company continues to support the Israelis - not only in Gaza but also in Lebanon.
The video showed footage of Lebanese fighters recording the scene after the Israelis had fled, leaving their equipment behind including Caterpillar excavators. Lebanon has launched 7000 missiles onto Israeli positions along the border, hitting the same position up to 60 times so really pummelling the Israeli military.
The video says the IDF HQ has a human shield, i.e., the Israelis are blatantly using human shield to protect their military.
The video shows Lebanese fighters using a variety of missiles to attack the Israelis, even a WWII cannon. It shows the Lebanese have very basic, but effective, weapons but also underground missile launchers and very large missiles.
This Electronic Intafada video describes in detail the US attempt to rescue downed airmen that might also have involved an attempt to steal nuclear material. Importantly, the video exposes the lack of information about events and the blatant lie about what it said, i.e., these are examples of why the US cannot be trusted .
It talks of the blitz on Lebanon on 09 Apr: "50 [Israeli] fighter jets dropped 160 bombs on 100 targets within 10 minutes."

Trump and Netanyahu are personifications of fraud
09 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece exposing Trump as a fraudster - On the one hand he is saying the Iranians are begging for a ceasefire but HE is the one who is secretly, in the background, prodding people to secure a ceasefire with the Iranians. I posted a comment of this trickery, but it was sent immediately to a moderator. but it has now been published:
Meidas Touch reproduced a comment by Trump after he'd spoken to Netanyahu. Instead of telling the terrorist (Netanyahu) to stop bombing Lebanon, this terrorist (Trump) said Netanyahu should be 'a little more low-key'

FT.com - FT.com regurgitates Israeli claims without question and misreports Lebanon and its inclusion in the ceasefire
09 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece that regurgitated Israeli claims without fact-checking or questioning. My comment was removed but the following two were published after being sent initially to a moderator.
There is inconsistency between how the FT treated my orig comment (which was removed) and how it treated the comment that it did publish (see the second one immediately below) when they are the same except the one they published does not include quotes of text from the article. It seems to me the moderator who removed the original was stricter than the moderator who allowed the latest one (that was published), to be published. It is odd that one comment is allowed and the other is not allowed when the only difference is one has quotes FROM the article (not published) and the other does not (published).

Israelis breach ceasefire and inflict unprecedented bombing blitz on the Lebanese
09 Apr 2026
Watch this video of Davis condemn the Israelis and US lies about Lebanon being excluded from the ceasefire. Vance has joined in those lies.
Davis notes that if the Pakistanis were lying about Lebanon, then the US would be all over the media saying the Pakistanis are lying about Lebanon, but they have not said the Pakistanis are lying, because if they had said so, the Pakistanis would have defended their integrity and crdibility by denouncing the Americans for their false claims the Pakistanis are lying.
He says the US 'elite' are using words merely to placate their base and that the words are not sincere or true because the US believes that are king of the jungle. He says the ceasefire was a fake to be able to say to the base that 'we tried' but it has been found to be a fake ceasefire. Within hours, the US and the Israelis had shown again their treachery by claiming Lebanon was excluded.
Davis says the US 'Admiral' [see 14:00 mins] lied about destroying the Iranian military - that is a lie because if it were true, then why would the US be seeking a ceasefire? He says Trump must stop listening to Graham, Netanyahu, and Keane because these are warmongers.
08 Apr 2026
"Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY."
The Pakistani PM's 00:58am 08 Apr, Tweet above makes it clear Lebanon is included in the ceasefire.
Galloway said that tweet would have been approved by Trump prior to the PM publishing it as the Pakistanis are a client of the US.
Araghchi's Tweet of 00:11am 08 Apr on behalf the 'Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran' (SNCC) did not mention Lebanon; it was extremely brief and vague.
The statement by the SNCC did not mention the T&Cs of the ceasefire but it did refer to the US accepting Iran's 10-point plan as a condition of the ceasefire and that plan includes a cessation of war on Lebanon.
The Israelis have expresed their support for the ceasefire, but they have said the ceasefire “does not include Lebanon”. Further, the Israelis have attacked the Lebanese people with the greatest explosive force to-date - bombing a residential area and murdering 100 Lebanese, all the while repeating the mantra that they are targetting Hezzbollah, a claim regurgitated by western media without challenge.
On the evidence, it appears to me the belligerent Israelis have shown their treachery once again. They have twisted reality to suit themselves.
Scott Ritter suggested the reason for the Israelis' massive strikes on Lebanon today was because they fear Trump will force them to stop so they are hurriedly trying to inflict maximum damage in the time left.
"that's why Israel is striking so hard right now. are trying desperately to get as much damage in there and to generate as much angst about Hezbollah before Israel is compelled to stop...they're resorting to again what they always do is to punish the people of Lebanon collectively." he said.
Trump has also shown his treachery. The ten-point plan clearly states Lebanon. Trump accepted the framework of the ten-point plan as a condition of the ceasefire, yet he now says Lebanon was not a part of the ceasefire.
Iran is aware of the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon and has acted swiftly, restricting access through Hormuz.
These events reinforce my view that the Israelis and the US are treacherous and cannot be trusted to act in good faith and with integrity. It confirms that the Israelis are liars and barbaric, and they won't stop of their own accord so they must be restrained.
Ritter said Trump was willing to cut ties with the Israelis to save his own political skin, but that is not how Trump is behaving. Perhaps the Israelis have a hold on him that is greater than his political life.

On the cusp of a new era for West Asia
08 Apr 2026
The image below from Sean Foo if true, and if accepted by the Americans, would represent a change in the global order from US dominance and imperialism to one where Iran becomes a superpower.
Iran has shown it already is a superpower because it stood up to the combined force of two genocidal and treacherous regimes intent on destroying Iran and its people - they murdered around 3000 Iranians and hit around 13000 targets, many of them civilian infrastructure. The depravity of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil must never be forgotten nor overlooked in the respite of a fragile ceasefire.
The 10-point plan does not mention tolling nor payment in Yuan.

US and Israelis armed Iranian uprising insurrection
06 Apr 2026
Ritter said in this Napolitano video the US and Israelis armed Iranians so the uprising was an insurrection and so the authoriities were justified to go to war against these armed Iranians. He says between 3000-7000 Iranians were killed. Trump has admitted himself that the US supplied guns to the Kurds to give to the Iranian insurrectionists.
Ritter said the rescue of the US airman involved a special forces operation that was going to snatch uranium but the plane for that operation got stuck on the runway and it was deliberately torched by the US.

Trump's brazen threats illustrate a normalisation of war crimes that started with the Gaza genocide
06 Apr 2026
Rharrit made an important observation on the Middle East Eye video, that Gaza normalised war crimes and so Trump is openly threatening to commit them, and he and the Netanyahu are already committing them, in Iran, without any pretence or concealment:
"the president of the United States is openly threatening war crimes. There's not even there's not even a facade anymore of of legality. It's just out in the open. And I'll have to stress that Gaza normalized this. And unfortunately, we all allowed this to be normalized under Gaza." she said.
She also exposed the appalling silence of US politicians "Where are the resignations? Where are the resignations saying I cannot be part to these war crimes that the United States is committing in Iran?" "if American diplomats and soldiers are the ones implementing these threats [war crimes], they are as liable as the president of the United States."
"there is no way the US government did not know that that school was there. There is no way. And for me, that still brings I I get chills saying that because it's horrific to know that my government is willing to drop a bomb knowing that school girls are going to be killed. that is intentional. It is a war crime."
She said of Netanyahu "this is his last shot at an American president willing to back him in this way."

Israelis flee their war on Iran into Egypt and Jordan
KernowDamo (Damien Willey) is a very useful source of insightful and detailed information on the Israelis and their allies, including those in the UK government. I came across his video about Israelis fleeing in droves, through Egypt and Jordan and by air, though there is just one flight an hour and each is limited to 50 passengers. It shows images of long Israeli road jams in all directions.
From polls, so many of these Israelis support the genocide and the ethnic cleansing that it is very difficult to empathise with these people as a group, but it is important to not tar them all with the same brush but condemn only those Israelis who have supported the atrocities in Palestine for years, and now in Lebanon and Iran. Perhaps the tide is turning and a new order is arising that will put an end to Israeli oppression and warmongering and violence.
What he reveals is the massive number of Israelis who hold dual nationality, including 50000 IDF. How convenient for these Israelis to flee when they get some of their own medicine -

Guy Christensen update
06 Apr 2026
I had not heard from Guy Christensen (GC) for some time. He has not been part of the circuit of 'experts' who routinely turn up on channels to discuss latest events in the war on Iran. Perhaps GC is focussed only on Palestine.
I decided today to look him up. He has been posting online. One post was about the infiltration of the pro-Israelis into major US media platforms. I knew about Tik Tok (now owned by Ellison), but he also mentioned X (owned by Musk), and Instagram (part of Meta).
GC mentioned an alt social media platform called Upscrolled (link) that has been developed by a Palestinian so unlike these pro-Israel platforms that block pro-Palestinian voices, Upscrolled is likely to be the opposite. I tried to sign-up but was frustrated and didn't, but I did send a highly critical email of feedback about my experience.
GC also posted a short video of his trip to Cuba and the humanitarian crisis caused by the US domestic and international terrorist in power, Trump who has imposed a blockade and is thretening to take over Cuba. GC was part of a Code Pink-organised trip to deliver aid to Cuba.

Natives of North America were betrayed 178 times; Iran has learned its lesson after three
This commentator was asked on TRT World about Trump's foul-mouthed post. He said of Trump: "out of desperation, he's lashing out on social media"
He also noted that the natives of North America had been betrayed around 178 times by the US government, and Iran has learned its lesson (after at least three betrayals: 2015; 2025; 2026) that the US government cannot, and must not, be trusted in any negotiation.

Images of the effects of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's war on Iran
The disgusting UK GMC and UKLFI are persecuting NHS surgeon, Ghassan Abu-Sittah for standing up for Palestinians
The rabid and disgusting people at UKLFI are hounding a surgeon and the disgusting GMC leadership are doing their bidding instead of supporting this surgeon.
PSC wrote to me in that regard. They said:
You may have heard about the heroic work of Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a British-Palestinian reconstructive surgeon who has for decades been treating patients in Palestine, Lebanon and beyond, including children who have been horribly injured in Israel’s attacks.
I’m sure like me you’ll be angered to know that he is being targeted by anti-Palestinian groups, and now Britain’s medical regulator, the General Medical Council (GMC), is trying to stop him practicing. Already thousands of doctors have called on the GMC leadership to resign over this spurious attack, but we need to increase the pressure.
Dr. Abu-Sittah has spent more than three decades treating civilians injured in war. He has also been a strong and clear voice reporting on the impact of Israel’s horrific crimes against the Palestinian people.
The GMC appears to be targeting Dr. Abu-Sittah after pressure from UK Lawyers for Israel – a disgraced organisation which runs campaigns steeped in anti-Palestinian racism. Dr. Abu-Sittah was previously cleared of all allegations against him in a public Medical Practitioners Tribunal, but now the GMC is asking the High Court to overturn the decision.
PSC asked me to sign a letter calling for the senior leaders of the GMC to go. I signed the letter immediately, but before sending it I edited it to make its language stronger (see my version that I submitted, below).
subject: GMC treatment of Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah
Members of the General Medical Council,
I am writing as a member of the public to express my disgust regarding the current direction of the General Medical Council (GMC) and the impact it is having on my trust in the profession and the wider health system.
In the NHS’ constitution, it states that the “NHS is founded on a common set of principles and values that bind together the communities and people it serves – patients and public – and the staff who work for it”, to which I believe the integrity of medical regulation is fundamental.
I am disgusted by the GMC’s decision to challenge in the High Court the recent outcome of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal which cleared Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah of all allegations against him after he spoke out against Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Dr. Abu-Sittah is a British-Palestinian reconstructive surgeon who has spent more than three decades treating civilians injured in war. I understand the complaint against him was brought by a pro-Israel advocacy group, UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).
UKLFI is a disgraced organisation which runs campaigns steeped in anti-Palestinian racism. Earlier this year it faced widespread criticism when its CEO made the grotesque suggestion that by imposing famine on Gaza, Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon could help to reduce obesity.
I am disgusted that the GMC is succumbing to pressure from such a disreputable organisation and continuing its discriminatory targeting of Dr. Abu-Sittah, when all evidence against him has already been heard and fully cleared in a full public hearing where an objective legal test was applied. Thousands of doctors and healthcare workers have written to the GMC to express their concerns about the environment of fear these actions by the GMC against Dr. Abu-Sittah have created, which serve to undermine the delivery of care to patients.
In light of this, as a concerned member of the public with a right to healthcare and to receive fair and equitable treatment, I am demanding the resignation of the Chief Executive and Chair as a necessary step to restore credibility, to rebuild my trust, and to safeguard the integrity of medical regulation in Britain.

FT.com - more FT misreporting and propaganda
06 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece about Maga continuing to support Trump. The headline said "Maga stands by Trump on Iran — for now", but that implies the entire Maga base, but the subtitle showed the focus was on just a very limited part of Maga - Georgia. The subtitle - in smaller text - said "On the streets of small-town Georgia, the president’s base is backing the war as swing voters waver"
By presenting a title that is far wider than the subtitle says, is indicative of misleading information. The article was not as wide-ranging as the subtitle and the content shows, so it is reasonable to conclude the FT have misled readers and so spread propaganda that falsely says the whole of Maga is supportive.
Johnson said on Galloway's video:
"I tell you what, um the it even among the MAGA crowd, you know, the people who've been the the most loyal to Donald Trump, they're they're even shaking their head going, "What in the name of God is this all about? This is crazy talk."
Rharitt on MEE on 05 Apr 2026 said "You can see that the MAGA movement is split. You can see that there was a resignation of one of his very senior counterterrorism officials [Kent] who very much was part of the MAGA base before resigning because they don't buy it."

The headline said "Maga stands by Trump on Iran — for now", but that implies the entire Maga base, but the subtitle showed the focus was on just a very limited part of Maga - Georgia. The subtitle - in smaller text - said "On the streets of small-town Georgia, the president’s base is backing the war as swing voters waver"
By presenting a title that is far wider than the subtitle says, is indicative of misleading information. The article was not as wide-ranging as the subtitle and the content shows, so it is reasonable to conclude the FT have misled readers and so spread propaganda that falsely says the whole of Maga is supportive.
Johnson said on Galloway's video:
"I tell you what, um the it even among the MAGA crowd, you know, the people who've been the the most loyal to Donald Trump, they're they're even shaking their head going, "What in the name of God is this all about? This is crazy talk."

US recovery of US airman - what really happened?
06 Apr 2026
This Galloway video with Johnson discusses the events surrounding the search and rescue of a single airman down in Iran. It raises questions over what was the real reason of these aircraft involved - was it to attack a nuclear facility? How many US people died? The value of aircraft lost was estimated at $400m.
The video discusses the misinformation and lies that mimic what was being said by the US media over Vietnam, including the claim by Trump that they have air dominance when they clearly do not given so many aircraft have been downed.

US airbases in England are being used to bomb Iran
06 Apr 2026
Declassified UK visited US airbases located in Swindon England (Fairford and Welford). Welford is a massive area of land used to store bombs that are being loaded onto bomber aircraft based at nearby Fairford.
Starmer claims the use of these UK bases is for defensive purposes but that is a controversial stance that ambiguous term could easily be abused by the Americans, especially where the actual use of these bombs is not being monitored for compliance.
The person interviewed, an activist, made the valid point that for every plane that flies from the UK for supposedly defensive action, another US plane it replaces then becomes available to commit war crimes, so in this indirect way, the UK is complicit in war crimes.
The report mentioned deliveries from Europe (Germany and Italy) and that bomber flights were not allowed to pass over Spain but were allowed over France, confirming the France is also an active partner in the war on Iran. It also said there were multiple lorry deliveries daily between the air bases, and that stores of bombs appeared to be lower than previously, suggesting stocks are running low.
It also mentioned the use of cruise missiles. These are long-range missiles. Their deployment suggests the Axis of Evil cannot get closer to use short-range bombs and so if that is the case, it suggests the US
does not have air dominance over Iran.

FT.com - bias and propaganda by omission from the FT
06 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece about Trump's expletive-laden and offensive post, but it was also biased and misleading in parts. Comments were not allowed, in effect preventing any challenge to the false and biased narrative. I emailed the FT to say this.
FT said "Iran has brought shipping traffic through the critical waterway to a near halt". It failed to say the US-Israeli Axis of Evil has done that by its aggression. It also failed to add that vessels are passing through, just not those allied with the Axis of Evil, though there is an exception to this because a French vessel was allowed through.
It said "The US, Israel and Iran continued to escalate attacks on Sunday." but failed to explain in what way Iran has "escalated". It was a misleading statement because it failed to say the attacks by Iran are retaliation to attacks by the Axis of Evil.
It said "Israel said it had bombed an Iranian petrochemical plant, which it claimed the country’s armed forces used to produce materials for weapons including ballistic missiles." The FT failed to include Iran's confirmation or denial of that Israeli claim. The FT failed to fact-check that claim and instead just reported it without question or challenge. In so doing, it represents propaganda for the Israelis.

Jimmy Dore interviews Richard Medhurst about the US-Israeli Axis of Evil and his arrest in the UK
05 Apr 2026
Jimmy Dore interviewed Richard Medhurst about his work exposing the Israelis. He discussed the war on Iran and the strategy of the US to morph into a pirate nation to control the oil supply globally. Medhurst has a lot of insight about West Asia including Syria and the history of the Israelis and their false claim to Palestine. The video showed a clip of an Israeli talking in the same genocidal way as Hitler and talking about exterminating all Palestinians.
Medhurst described how he was arrested and his property was confiscated by the UK police but he was never charged, just because he referred to Hamas as resistance fighters. He relocated to Austria and he was intimidated by their police also.
"the section 12 they [the UK] arrested me um under, you know, it it it criminalizes opinions and beliefs." Medhurst said
"all it takes in the UK is to refer to Hamas as resistance fighters and that's considered a criminal act.?" asked Dore
"Yeah. Yeah. it they [police] say that you're inviting support because you're making them look good. That's basically the idea."
"I saw the former head of MI6 on Sky News calling HTS resistance fighters. Now, if you said that same thing about Hamas, you'd be arrested. You would be arrested" Medhurst said

Does Israel Have a ‘Right to Exist’? Hasan debunks that argument
05 Apr 2026
Hasan destroys the question 'Does Israel have a right to exist?' with three points or counter-questions
1 Where should it exist?
2 No country has a right to exist, only people have that right. Countries come and go (e.g., USSR was broken up)
3 If Israel has a right to exist, then why is Palestine denied the right to exist?

Trump resorts to spewing shocking profanity, on Easter Sunday
05 Apr 2026
The image below is a post by a US president. The head of a country is supposed to lead by example and to at least give the veneer of decency, civility, decorum and never use foul langauage. Trump is the opposite. The foul language used in that post shows how low this low-life has fallen. Haiphong noted this was posted on Easter Sunday.
The other quotes below are what he told various reporters he called (all reported on the Meidas Touch). Meidas also showed clips of US media and talking heads that glossed over, downplayed, and sanitised Trump's vitriol. The last clip, however, was of a guy who was honest about the appalling manner used by Trump (and Hegseth) and said that is not the way to behave if Trump wants to get a settlement with Iran.
Of course, reading between the lines, it's possible Trump does NOT want a settlement and wants the war to continue as that means more profit for his oil and gas donors in the US. It also allows the Israelis to continue to bomb Iranians and destroy their infrastructure.
Meidas Touch also questioned the accuracy or real purpose of all these aircraft that have been downed or damaged for one airman.
The last image below is a post by Netanyahu (Meidas Touch) which, like Trump's posts, is evidence of their war crimes because they admit to bombing civilian infrastructure and to "crush them". Meidas also posted a post by Trump that brazenly talks of profitting from capturing Hormuz and all the oil passing through it - not just Iran's. The post below it is further admission of Trump committing war crimes by threatening to destroy civilian infrastructure.
The image immediately below is a later post (07 Apr 2026) by Trump threatening to destroy "A whole civilization".

FT.com - more propaganda and misreporting
05 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece about some guy pleading that nations do not hoard oil. The FT said the Hormuz "remains closed". That is FT propaganda and misinformation - which I pointed out in my comment:

FT.com continues to block comments on its articles
05 Apr 2026
It is disgusting to see so many FT articles are blocked for reader comments. Two today, for example: one about two disgusting people: Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson; and one about Iraqi oil being allowed through Hormuz.
Not allowing comments means the FT controls the narrative and is therefore an unchallenged and unfettered mouthpiece for whatever group controls the FT - often that master is the US-Israeli Axis of Evil. I have highlighted the propaganda by omission spread by a couple of FT journos, Rachman and Martin Wolf, but they are not the only ones at the FT who are biased.

Kwiatkowski believes Netanyahu allowed Hamas Oct 2023 attack to happen
Kwiatkowski in this ANI News video believes the Israeli regime allowed the Hamas attack of Oct 2023 to happen because they were fed up of "mowing the lawn" and they wanted an excuse to execute something more significant - the genocide of Palestinians, or the greater Israel project.
She says this strategy has been repeated elsewhere, where governments allow an event (that would be immoral to reasonable and decent people) to happen because it enables the occurence of a larger and more significant event to then happen.

Greenwald reveals more on the capture of US politics by the Israelis
04 Apr 2026
Greenwald was interviewed and gave insights about the Israelis. He recounts a conversation in the 1990s about why Hilary Clinton had changed her attitude in her campaign to become a senator in New York:
"Why is Hillary Clinton so hawkish now? Like she seems like she's almost like at the center even on the right." And he said, "Look, the reality is in New York politics is that um Jewish donors are the ATM of New York politics. And you cannot succeed in New York politics unless you become fanatically pro-Israel."
Greenwald shows the power of the Israeli lobby in US politics - how the lobby is able to get the vast majority of politicians to do its bidding. He cites a resolution was passed approving Israeli bombing of Gaza in 2015 with 90-2 for and 431 to 6 for in the senate and House, respectively. That unified bipartisan consensus on any political issue is extremely rare yet the Israelis managed to get it and it shows they control both political parties.
The video shows that the talk about shutting down Tik Tok over concerns about national security surrounding China, was fake and the real reason was concern that the genocide in Gaza was becoming visible via Tik Tok and the Israelis were trying to shut Tik Tok down because of it, not because of China.
"They banned a social media app in the United States, the thing we accused China of doing or Iran or Russia or whatever. And then they force its sale to Larry Ellison," An IDF guy is in charge of content moderation on Tik Tok. He alsomentions CBS being taken over by Ellisons, and so the Israelis are in panic mode.
"Trump shredded the JCPOA at the strong recommendation of Netanyahu, by the way, to put war back on the table. And that's what we're seeing play out right now [in Iran]". said the host.

Western media obsesses over a single US airman missing in action
04 Apr 2026
It's disgusting to see so much western media coverage obsessing over one US airman missing in action somewhere in Iran. It is cheap - LBC podcast had the title "What will Trump do if Iran captures US pilot? LBC callers debate"; the BBC had a podcast with the title: "What will missing US crewman be facing inside Iran?" the Daily Mirror podcast said "Search for missing US airman continues..." ; Channel 4 had the title of its podcast: "Iran: search for missing US pilot continues"; "Pro-Iran media also ran podcasts about a bounty on him, and why put a bounty on him?
Note the relative absence (total absence) of discussion on the 160+ children bombed by the US on 28 Feb, or the other human tragedies of the war on Iran that could easily be discussed by western media but are not. Why? Because western media is US-centric and western people value western lives more than Asian lives. This was evident in the British Raj, in the African slave trade, and in the ethnic cleansing of natives in North America and in Australia and other colonies. It is not the first time western media devotes far more time when discussing deaths of westerners versus deaths of Asians.

100 legal experts raise alarm over war crimes in war on Iran
04 Apr 2026
A bunch of 100 legal people signed a letter raising alarms over the language and actions of the US primarily, in its war on Iran. The letter highlighted the language used (e.g., by Trump and Hegseth) and questioned whether it constituted war crimes. They referred to relevant international laws and to the UN.
The letter was useful as a source of data for researchers and writers, but it has no teeth to actually punish the war criminals or to bring them before a court of justice. Until that happens, raising alarms is a waste of time and space. What is far more important is to document and collate evidence to convict these war criminals of war crimes and to extract reparations for Iran, Palestine and Lebanon, that suffer from their crimes.

FT.com - brazen FT propaganda by omission to support the Israelis
04 Apr 2026
I came across a FT.com article on the arson attack on ambulances in London. I was shocked by its biased subtitle and sent an email to the FT (see below).
This war on Iran is not "US-led" So much airtime is given to talking of the US activities but that does not mean the US are leading the war. The Israelis are waging war but their activities are not getting the same level of airtime. The FT falsely equates that level of airtime with US being the leader in this war. The Israelis have imposed a media blackout; the US media is vast and so it is inevitable much of the airtime will be about the US, apart from any deliberate policy they might have of downplaying Israeli involvement in the war.
Recall, Rubio saying the US attacked Iran because the Israelis were about to attack Iran. Who is leading who? Who has the upper hand? The Israelis started the war on Iran. The Israelis bombed the South Pars facility - apparently without Trump's approval (though some say he knew); the Israelis assassinated the Pakistani intermediary trying to negotiate between the US and the Iranians to scupper a chance of ending the war.
As a minimum, the Israelis are joint partners in this war on Iran, but in a brazen example of FT propaganda by omission in support of the Israelis, the FT chose to frame its article subtitle by omitting any reference to the involvement of the Israelis in their joint war on Iran. They have gone farther, in order to downplay the extent of the involvement of the Israelis, by saying the war is "US-led war...". It is another illustration of the Israelis choosing to do their dirty work covertly. The same approach is used when the Israelis assassinate, when they lobby, when they intimidate, when they buy politicians and anyone else needed to pursue their agenda. FT writers: Rachman and Wolf have used Israeli propaganda by omission in their articles.

US lies and US terrorism over the years
03 Apr 2026
This Haiphong video shows Noh say that the US always claims it has dominance over the air and over the sea whenever it goes into battle. This has been shown to be false because its massive aircraft carrier quickly retreated out of Iran's missile range and it has now limped back for repairs that will take 2-3 years. So-called air dominance is inconsistent with the fact that one of its aircraft has been shot down. So far, Iran has hit 9 US aircxraft, that will cost over $1bn to replace. The US keeps boasting that Iran has no missiles left yet they continue to pound the Israelis and Gulf states.
Once again, US cencom has denied the aircraft that was downed today was downed but had to admit it was when it became obvious - so the US are brazen liars.
This Meidas Touch video also says cencomm is lying about aircraft downed by Iran. The video also says the disgusting Israelis assassinated a Pakistani go-between who was trying to negotiate between the US and Iran, i.e., the Israelis scuppered attempts to end negotiation efforts.
This MS Now clip on 04 Apr 2026 shows the many times Trump and Hegseth boasted about air supremacy over Iran; that was completely discredited by many US planes downed or hit.
The video also showed Rubio spewing propaganda and rhetoric that is the opposite of what Trump is saying: Rubio says expenditure by Iran on war and terrorism could be instead used to support Iranians, but at the same time Trump is saying there is no money to spend on social care because money is instead needed to fight US wars. In other words, Trump is doing the opposite of what Rubio is telling the Iranians to do.
Johnson said on the Sabby Sabs video that Netanyahu has said Iran no longer poses an existential threat. That is a lie stated because he has been told by his military that they cannot take anymore so the Israeli terrorist is looking for a way out to buy time to regroup and re-attack Iran. Only now, US mainstream media is showing footage of damage being inflicted to Israeli sites hit by Iran, but Johnson says that damage has been happening from the start of this war and is now being shown because they can no longer hide what is happening.
"This [war on Iran] is the kind of thing Hitler did to Poland to start WWII" Johnson said.
Johnson set the record straight on US terrorism over the years which is the opposite of lies that Trump and the US have been spewing about Iran being the terrorists:
The 1979 US Embassy hostage crisis was "because our [US] embassy had been facilitating the murder of Iranian citizens for the previous 20 30 years."
Carter "encouraged and supported Saddam Hussein, remember him, as to to go attack uh Iran, to start a war with Iran as a way to get some pressure and leverage over the Iranian, the new Iranian government." Reagen continued to try to destabilise Iran and Rumsfeld supplied Iraq with chemicals to attack Iran with chemical warfare in 1983 - that killed 300K Iranians including 70K civilians. The US also supplied human and technical intelligence to attack the Iranians.
The Lebanon attack that killed 283 marines in 1983 was because a month earlier "US warships off the coast of Lebanon were sending shells into the villages of Shia, killing Shia women, children, and and non-combatant men." Trump does not mention the wider and underlying reason for attacks on US, because to give that context would destroy the false narrative that Iranians are terrorists.
"the United States has a long bloody track record, blood of Iranians on its hands for 46 years. We we have been the provocator. Not Iran. And you know, nobody wants to hear that because we got a narrative we got to stick with."
"We don't have a single group you can point to that's Iranian sponsored that's carried out attacks here in the United States. Whereas Iran can point to the MEK, a group that's bought, paid for, protected, funded by the CIA. That group has carried out multiple terrorist attacks inside Iran." MEK was taken off the terrorist list by Obama and Hilary Clinton because they were supported by the US.
I stumbled upon this interview by Chris Hedges of Jon Kiriakou on what is terrorism and which countries are supporting terrorism? It exposes the hypocrisy of the west for labelling countries, such as Iran, as terrorists or sponsoring terrorism. It uses MEK as an example of how the US feted a terrorist organisation, MEK, because MEK and the US hate Iran. MEK is also funded by the Israelis. The video explained that the Israelis want to create chaos in surrounding West Asia countries so these countries will be killing each other and so not killing Israelis. The Israelis actively encourage internal chaos in these countries. It also mentions the Israelis are rabid assassins.
It talks of the US trying to get Iranians addicted to heroin.
It talks of a jew who was taught in school that anyone who criticises Isarael is automatically antisemitic and calling them antisemitic is used to stop dissent. He said that tactic by Israelis is no longer being tolerated (bought) by Americans.
The video mention 'blowback' - retaliation (revenge) by Palestinians and Iranians for what has been done to them by the Israelis and the US.
These videos expose the fundamental reason for war and conflict: lies spread by the US and the Israelis that brainwash voters who elect politicians who then have the money, and the power to wage wars and execute their agendas. Trump lied about being a passivist to win the votes of those who want peace, but he did the opposite as soon as he was elected.

Johnson said on the Sabby Sabs video that Netanyahu has said Iran no longer poses an existential threat. That is a lie stated because he has been told by his military that they cannot take anymore so the Israeli terrorist is looking for a way out to buy time to regroup and re-attack Iran. Only now, US mainstream media is showing footage of damage being inflicted to Israeli sites hit by Iran, but Johnson says that damage has been happening from the start of this war and is now being shown because they can no longer hide what is happening.
"This [war on Iran] is the kind of thing Hitler did to Poland to start WWII" Johnson said.
Johnson set the record straight on US terrorism over the years which is the opposite of lies that Trump and the US have been spewing about Iran being the terrorists:
The 1979 US Embassy hostage crisis was "because our [US] embassy had been facilitating the murder of Iranian citizens for the previous 20 30 years."
Carter "encouraged and supported Saddam Hussein, remember him, as to to go attack uh Iran, to start a war with Iran as a way to get some pressure and leverage over the Iranian, the new Iranian government." Reagen continued to try to destabilise Iran and Rumsfeld supplied Iraq with chemicals to attack Iran with chemical warfare in 1983 - that killed 300K Iranians including 70K civilians. The US also supplied human and technical intelligence to attack the Iranians.
The Lebanon attack that killed 283 marines in 1983 was because a month earlier "US warships off the coast of Lebanon were sending shells into the villages of Shia, killing Shia women, children, and and non-combatant men." Trump does not mention the wider and underlying reason for attacks on US, because to give that context would destroy the false narrative that Iranians are terrorists.
"the United States has a long bloody track record, blood of Iranians on its hands for 46 years. We we have been the provocator. Not Iran. And you know, nobody wants to hear that because we got a narrative we got to stick with."
"We don't have a single group you can point to that's Iranian sponsored that's carried out attacks here in the United States. Whereas Iran can point to the MEK, a group that's bought, paid for, protected, funded by the CIA. That group has carried out multiple terrorist attacks inside Iran." MEK was taken off the terrorist list by Obama and Hilary Clinton because they were supported by the US.
I stumbled upon this interview by Chris Hedges of Jon Kiriakou on what is terrorism and which countries are supporting terrorism? It exposes the hypocrisy of the west for labelling countries, such as Iran, as terrorists or sponsoring terrorism. It uses MEK as an example of how the US feted a terrorist organisation, MEK, because MEK and the US hate Iran. MEK is also funded by the Israelis. The video explained that the Israelis want to create chaos in surrounding West Asia countries so these countries will be killing each other and so not killing Israelis. The Israelis actively encourage internal chaos in these countries. It also mentions the Israelis are rabid assassins.
It talks of the US trying to get Iranians addicted to heroin.
It talks of a jew who was taught in school that anyone who criticises Isarael is automatically antisemitic and calling them antisemitic is used to stop dissent. He said that tactic by Israelis is no longer being tolerated (bought) by Americans.
The video mention 'blowback' - retaliation (revenge) by Palestinians and Iranians for what has been done to them by the Israelis and the US.
These videos expose the fundamental reason for war and conflict: lies spread by the US and the Israelis that brainwash voters who elect politicians who then have the money, and the power to wage wars and execute their agendas. Trump lied about being a passivist to win the votes of those who want peace, but he did the opposite as soon as he was elected.
FT.com - more propaganda by omission in its reporting of the bombing of Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil
03 Apr 226
FT.com published a piece on the bombing of Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil. It did not allow comments. I emailed the FT to say it is "Utterly disgusting that the FT did not allow any comments to this article."
The piece was biased because it was one-sided and omitted key information about the bombings by the Axis of Evil.
It only talked of the fear of Iranians, not the defiance and courage of Iranians.
There was no mention of the schools and civilian infrastructure bombed by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil. Instead, it said:
"the US and Israel have struck thousands of targets across the country, attacking officials in their homes and offices, along with barracks, urban police stations and checkpoints on the streets."
Why did it not include schools, universities, hospitals in this list when they too have been bombed? It is shameful propaganda by omission. See this link to a report on the many civilian sites bombed.
Instead of balanced and fair reporting, it clearly stated US-Israeli propaganda "Both the US and Israel maintain they are targeting senior officials and military sites, and not civilians."
That claim does not reconcile with "28,500 residential units have been damaged and 4,000 people have been left homeless," According to one agency (HRANA), over 1000 civilians were murdered in the first 5 days of the war, including 181 children under age 10.
Parsi noted: "Similarities between Israel's bombing of Gaza and Tehran are growing stronger. In both cases, it appears Israel is using AI without any human oversight. For instance, Israel has bombed a park in Tehran called "Police park." It has nothing to do with the police. But it appears AI identified it as a target since Israel is bombing all government related buildings. No one in Israel brothered to check and find out that it is just a park."

Hasan destroys Maher's lies that Israelis fight wars in self-defence when the opposite is true
02 Apr 2026
This clip by Secular Talk shows Hasan destroy the low-life pro-Israeli Maher's lies about Israelis and their wars - Maher said on TV that Israelis always fight in self defence, i.e., he said the Israelis are blameless.
Hasan gives three examples of wars where the Israelis attacked offensively not defensively. Hasan therefore showed directly and clinically that Maher is a disgusting liar and that he is using the same tactics used by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil and its allies - to lie in order to create a false justification for Israelis' and the US's illegal wars of aggression.
This clip illustrates the value of independent media - to destroy false narratives that have been broadcast by mainstream media for decades before the advent of independent media channels that are not bought by the Israelis and corporate moguls. It is a challenge for independent media to be heard because their adversaries are well-established, well-connected politically, have armies of foot-soldiers to do their dirty work, have very deep pockets, and they are rabid users of lawfare and other underhand tactics to destroy their opponents.

An insider's account of the workings of the Israeli lobby in US politics and media and the rabid warmongering of the Israelis
02 Apr 2026
Diesen interviewed Kent - the guy who resigned from the Trump administration over its war on Iran and who pointed the finger of blame for the war on Iran at the Israelis.
Kent showed that the Israelis played Trump like a fiddle to pursue their agenda - to get the US involved in the war on Iran, by their lies about Iran and its intent on building a nuclear weapon. He described how the Israelis bombed Iran whenever Trump tried to negotiate an end to the war, or when he'd said specific Iranian assets would not be bombed, because the belligerent Israelis are desperate to keep the war going.
Kent also exposed the intense and coordinated Israeli lobby network that works on US politicians and simultaneously on other interest groups critical to their agenda, and how the Israelis coordinate these groups with the mainstream media so that what Israelis agree with politicians is immediately broadcast on mainstream media the same day to keep up the momentum to build a particular narrative and to get a consensus mindset and generate a concerted push to build and publicise a particular Israeli narrative so it is known to all relevant parties (such as: the US (actually the Israeli) goal to prevent Iran from nuclear enrichment and the goal is no longer preventing Iran from making nuclear weapons). A coordinated narrative increases the probability of the Israeli agenda being achieved.
Kent emphasised the way out of this war on Iran is for the US to restrain the rabid Israelis because otherwise, the Israelis will keep coming back and attacking Iran and causing trouble that will drag the US into the same cycle of war. He repeated this restraint multiple times.
Kent also talked about the many fighting groups across West Asia, some of them were backed by the US. He also admits the US caused trouble in its activities across West Asia.

The lies broadcast by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil that is the foundation for US imperialism
02 Apr 2026
Haiphong interviewed Henningsen, who said the often-used talking point: "Iran is the number one state sponsor" is a complete lie spread by the Israeli state lobby. He says Hezzbollah is labelled a terrorist organisation but that terrorist label ignores the context: at the time, the US and Israelis were occupying Lebanon and the US was bombing Lebanon, so the Lebanese were resisting; they were not "terrorists".
The US were in Iraq illegally on the pretext of weapons of mass destruction. The same WMD fraud is being used in Iran today (claims that Iran was about to build a nuclear bomb) to justify the illegal war on Iran. "The United States...Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Israel, these are the number one state sponsors of terror on the planet, not Iran. Iran...Hezzbollah [were] fighting our [US sponsored] terrorists in Syria, in Iraq" "The lies that the US rests its imperialism on are just breathtaking" he said. The NYT (mainstream media) did not refute any of Trump's lies in his speech to the Nation, illustrating that the mainstream media is a mouthpiece for the Israelis. The NYT is a particularly devout supporter of the Israelis.
Wilkerson (also interviewed) cited a speech by the Iranian FM, who basically said "That little vermin, namely Israel, and its big daddy [the US], has to stop" their war on Iran.

How Iran is winning the war against the US-Israeli Axis of Evil
02 Apr 2026
The Geopolitical economy report by Norton highlighted several important points on the war on Iran:
a) exposed the quiet military support being given by many European countries to the US to wage its war on Iran: UK, Germany, France, Portugal, Italy, Greece. They are therefore silent but deadly partners alongside the Axis of Evil, and their involvement is not being reported in European media, such as the FT.
b) mentioned one of Iran's goals was to persuade Gulf states to reconsider their willingness to cooperate with the Israelis (the so-called Abraham accords). So far, Bahrain and UAE had 'normalised relations' with the Israeli regime (in 2020). Past US presidents have pressured the Saudis to follow suit. The war on Iran has demonstrated that if these Gulf states do cooperate with the Israelis, then if another war occurs, they will again be bombed by Iran so they are likely hesitating about signing up to cooperate with the Israelis. In that case, Iran has been successful in halting the Abraham accord strategy.
c) Trump sabotaged the JCPOA nuclear deal that Iran had complied with, and he applied economic sanctions on Iran that, Bessent boasted, collapsed its economy and triggered protests caused by these sanctions. The war on Iran has, ironically, forced the US to lift US sanctions on Iran - another success for Iran.
d) Iran has shown it is able to control Hormuz, to extract a toll, and to be paid in Yuan, apply pressure on Gulf states to reconsider their association with the Israelis, it has escalation dominance (it is able to continue the war of attrition - it has the missiles; it can continue to fight using cheaper missiles than those used by the Axis; it can retaliate with greater force to Axis attacks; the replenishment of US missiles cannot keep up wih the current rate at which US missiles have been expended - 850 Tomahawks were used in just 4 weeks when only 300 can be manufactured in a year).
e) Iran has shown it is able to inflict greater pain on its enemies than they can inflict on Iran (a global economic crisis; use missiles that are much cheaper than those used by the Axis; destroy Gulf states; control Hormuz; destroy Israeli sites; take out radar). That imbalance means Iran can deter the Axis because the Axis now knows that the Axis will suffer more than will Iran if they try war again on Iran. This deterrence is significant and essential to stop once and for all, further attacks by the Axis on Iran and further murders of Iran's leaders.
Even western media has acknowledged that Iran is winning the war on Iran. Iran's dominance is an amazing achievement given Iran is fighting alone (noting the contribution of Lebanon and Yemen) against many countries that have far greater resources. I suppose an analogy would be David vs Goliath.
The video ended by saying US hegemony is collapsing and that collapse is driving the US to extremes of threats, barbarity and violence to retain hegemony (Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran). Time and again, empires, such as the US, are victims of their own hubris and arrogance. They underestimate their opponents, they become sloppy, make mistakes and that precipitates their collapse. That is playing-out in the Axis of Evil's war on Iran.

FT.com - a series of reports could be Israeli false flags and a smear campaign against Iran
02 Apr 2026
FT.com published a piece about a terror group attacking sites across Europe. This piece talked of four men yet three were actually minor (16 or 17 years old), so it's not clear why the FT of the French police used the wrong description of the people arrested.
The FT said "Iran has warned that US and Israeli companies could be targeted in retaliation, including financial institutions and technology groups." It is likely that the Iranians meant targets located in Gulf states, so this point by FT appears to be misleading because it implies the Iranians could target sites globally.
The impression I get from these reports of attacks is that there is no clear proof who is behind them but there is a lot of finger pointing at Iran. What happens with these reports is a story breaks, allegations and associations are stated, but nothing is confirmed and there is no follow-up article to confirm or deny the earlier associations, allegations and inferences. The damage has been done - the impression that Iranians are terrorists has been reinforced though it has not been confirmed or denied.
It is possible these attacks are Israeli false flags designed to smear Iran and to fake antisemitism.
I thought of commenting but comments were not allowed - another suspicious sign - it prevents challenge to the narrative and propaganda.

Hudson also mentioned thge US's contempt for international law
"you're seeing the uh the ethnic and religious hatred from Ukraine to Israel to the fundamentalist Christians uh that are violating, you know, all of these respect for individualism, respect for freedom. "
"America didn't have the concept of martyrdom, but certainly Iran does, and so did Africa in the British and Dutch and European attack on African tribes in the 19th century,"
"we're fighting for a way of life against against people who want to enslave us or deny us of any kind of
self independence and self-support of autonomy of the ability to make our own future. This is this is what the fight's all about. And it's ultimately a moral fight uh as well that is finding itself translated into uh an economic fight and a trade fight"

Ritter said, on this Haiphong interview, that the US-Israeli Axis of Evil are losing the war; they are in 'reactive mode'; Iran is winning the war. All the Axis can do is bomb. The Axis is pursuing a Tonnage = Damage model, but it is not winning the war by air power alone.
The US has no plan; they are making it up as they go along. He said Iran owns the decision making cycle and the US is reacting. He mentioned OODA Observe the enemy, Orientate you position; Decide course of action - to attack or not; act - Attack or don't attack.
Iran has a flexible strategy and is following it and it has adequate missiles and is using more complex missiles, contrary to what US propaganda keeps saying - often repeating Trump's favourite word about Iran: "obliterated"
Trump has underground missile production facilities.
He said the Israelis are being "pummelled". He predicts the US will be evicted from the Gulf states; US will leave NATO.
He says of Trump "He's the worst kind of dictator" "There is nothing we [US] can do to stop the Iranians, conventionally...we could bring in nuclear weapons". He warns the Axis has to be careful because I has the ability to physically remove the Israelis (all of them) with nukes. Iran has the ability make and launch nukes - the missiles they have been firing and hitting the Israelis; all is needed is to add a nuke.
I is winning because it does NOT have a nuke, but because it has, and is using, ballistic missiles to beat its enemies. If it had a nuke, the US would have a green light to nuke Iran because Iran cannot reach the US with a nuke. Having a nuke means I will be destroyed. He says if I agrees not to enrich, that could be used by Trump as a win, but I doesn't care about that win. I will win bec sanctions will be lifted and no US bases in West Asia, so a win-win is possible.
Ritter repeated the comment by the I FM 'Trump is negotiating with himself'
Ritter said of the new post-war order, the Israelis will have to be signatories to written treaties; the days of the Israelis bombing neighbours are over and the Israelis will have to comply with international law and there will be consequences for non-compliance.
He says the energy crisis will force zero tolerance for the Israelis' illegitimate behaviour and treaties will constrain and bind the Israelis.
He dismissed claims that the UAE want the US to attack I. Ritter warned the UAE would be taken over by Iran and that if the dealination tanks were hit then foreigners would flee leaving a bunch of incapable UAE citzens. He therefore concluded that UAE exists because I says so and so I controls the destiny of UAE.
