More FT.com one-sided reporting - this time, on the trial of Palestine Action defendants
19 Nov 2025
The trial of Palestine Action (PA) defendants began today and the FT.com published an article on 19/11/2025 of the trial. What is noticeable about this piece is it is completely focussed on reporting the prosecutor's view and says nothing of the defence's view.
Perhaps that one-sided reporting is because lawyers take turns to present their case, and today it was the turn of the prosecutor. If so, the FT should have said so to justify its obvious one-sided reporting. Perhaps I am wrong about taking turns, and the one-side reporting is deliberate and biased reporting by the FT. I am inclined NOT to give the FT the benefit of the doubt given their record of bias and misinformation against Palestinians and for the Israelis.
As usual, the FT did not allow comments, showing its cowardice yet again and, like the Israeli lobby, conveniently shutting off any debate or sharing of opinions. Nevertheless, my comments on the article are:
The prosecutor, Heer, says unsubstantiated things, including:
1) "the defendants had also been prepared to deploy them [sledgehammers] as “weapons” against people if necessary" What evidence has Heer to support her claim that these sledgehammers were "weapons" and that the defendants were "prepared" to use them against people?
2) Heer told the court: "Each of the group was armed with a sledgehammer," again, Heer chose to use provocative language. I don't believe any of the group intended to use the sledgehammer as a weapon (meaning, to use it to attack a human being) so it would have been more accurate and honest if Heer had said each of the group was "carrying" a sledgehammer.
The article says: "the implements were intended to be used to damage property" so it appears Heer accepts this use but how can she reasonably and honestly claim the intended use was also for something more sinister?
3) Heer says all of the defendants used the sledgehammers: "to threaten or to attack the security guards and to lend support to one another as they did so”. Again, unsubstantiated and so more false accusations from Heer.
If one accepts the defendants were "armed" with sledgehammers, then it is also quite possible they were "armed" for their personal security, i.e. to defend themselves from a possible attack. In other words, Heer overlooks, conveniently, the reasonable alternative use of the sledgehammers - for self-defence not for attack.
I tried to play the video clip provided in the article, but it failed to play. I sent an email on 19/11/25 to the FT about its one-sided reporting (see image below):

Books about Palestinian life under Israeli apartheid and oppression
18 Nov 2025
Chris Hodges in an interview of him, mentioned a few publications that he highly recommended:
1) "the power of the powerless" by Vaclav Havel (link). It can be read here. It's a 1978 essay about workers' struggles against the powerful. I mention it because it might be relevant in relation to the suppression (by wealthy pro-Israel supporters and the politicians they have bought) of voices against oppression and for human rights (of Palestinians, for example but of many other groups across the world).
2) "Footnotes in Gaza" is a book by cartoonist Joe Sacco about the history and tragedy of a town called
Rafah, including the infamous Israeli massacre of 111 Palestinians in 1956. (link).
3) "Palestine" (link) also by Sacco is a graphic book that aims to capture daily life in occupied Palestine. It's based on his 2 months in the early 1990s in Gaza living among the Palestinians.
Search this website for "Palestinian writers" for details of a book in which Palestinians write of their daily lives living in an apartheid state created and controlled by the Israelis.

Ellison's wealth pays for the Israelis' genocide of Palestinians
18 Nov 2025
Ellison (the Oracle billionaire who is a supporter of the Israelis and the IDF) has switched course on his multi-billion pound UK project. “There’s been a bait and switch,” said one former employee of Ellison's change, in a FT.com article today on his switch.
There was no mention in the article about Ellison's support for the Israelis, but even so, I chose to make the connection between money and genocide (see the image below of my comment to the article):

USIP confirms the genocide in Sudan but is silent on the genocide in Gaza - a brazen show of double standards
The US government showed its double standards. It confirmed (in Jan 2025) that there was a genocide in Sudan, after reviewing evidence (see image below (ref) from the United States Institute of Peace). On the other hand, it has not given the same confirmation, even in the face of overwhelming independent evidence, that a genocide has been committed (and is being committed) by Israelis of Palestinians.
I did a search of the USIP website today and searched for "gaza" and then "genocide". Nothing came up on genocide in Palestine or in Gaza. It therefore appears that USIP has nothing to say about the Israelis' genocide of Palestinians. That is not a surprise as USIP is a US government creation that serves the American people and the US government, and because so many US politicians have been bought by the pro-Israeli lobby. I nevertheless sent an email on 17 Nov 2025 to USIP about the genocide and related crimes (see image of email, below):

More FT.com misinformation. Germans resume their complicity in the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
17 Nov 2025
FT.com reported today (read the article here) that the Germans have resumed their sales of military equipment to the Israelis. Merz stopped the sales at the time the Israelis were threatening to invade Gaza City "despite mounting international censure over civilian deaths and widespread starvation in the strip." Note the "censure" fell far short of the truth: the Israelis had manfactured a famine and deliberately starved Palestinians to death, and the Israelis committed genocide and ethnic cleansing, and they continue to murder Palestinians, over 200 since the fake "ceasefire" on 10 Oct 2025.
History should look favourably on Merz, in my opinion, for his decision to halt sales because had he not made that decision and the Israelis had invaded, they might have murdered many more innocent Palestinian men, women, and children. The FT article said of the Israeli tanks whose parts are supplied by a German manufacturer, Renk: "[the tank] has been the workhorse of Israel’s invasion of the besieged enclave."
On the other hand, history should look unfavourably on Merz, in my opinion, for his decision to resume such sales given the Israelis have murdered hundreds of innocent Palestinians since the fake 10 Oct 2025 ceasefire.
Overall, my opinion is that Germany is complicit in the genocide and the ethnic cleansing and the wholesale destruction of Palestine. It and others states that are also complicit, and the individuals responsible, must be held to account for their crimes.
There can be no moral justification for supporting a regime guilty of war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. On the contrary, Germany and any other signatory to the Geneva Convention, are exposing themselves to charges of complicity in genocide, which is punishable according to section e) of Article III of the Geneva Convention "on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide" (ref).
Further, a 2024 legal opinion said: "companies and their staff risk charges of complicity in genocide and other international crimes in their home States and/or international courts." (ref) for supplying goods and services used by the Israelis in its activities in Palestine (including in Gaza) that violate humanitarian and international laws. Page two of the same opinion said: "Third States [such as Germany] must consider that their military or other assistance to Israel’s military operations in Gaza may put them at a risk of being complicit in genocide under the Genocide Convention."
FT misinformation and bias
Three instances in this article:
1 "a fragile ceasefire that has held into its second month" This is not true; the ceasefire has not held in relation to Palestinian civlians. The Israelis are engaging in stop, start ceasefire tactics and continue to bomb and murder hundreds of innocent Palestinians despite a so-called "ceasefire". When it suits them, they resume the "ceasefire".
A Democracy Now report on 17 Nov 2025, said that since 10 Oct 2025, at least 266 Palestinians have been killed, and 635 wounded, by Israeli attacks. An Israeli agency has reported that at least 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since Oct 2023. Israelis are still restricting the entry of food aid and other critical supplies to the Gaza strip.
Netanyahu said on Sunday 16 Nov 2025 that he has been rebuffing attempts for a Palestinian state for decades, proving that the offer in the fake peace plan for a Palestinian state was a deception and a lie.
2 "Israel’s international allies push Benjamin Netanyahu to turn the cessation of hostilities with Hamas into a lasting ceasefire." As explained above, the ceasefire has not lasted. "cessation of hostilities with Hamas" ignores the hostilities of the Israelis aimed at erasing civilian Paestinians. The framing ignores the vast majority (I guess in the region of 80%) of all Palestinians murdered by the Israelis, who are not Hamas but innocent Palestinian civilians.
3 "despite mounting international censure over civilian deaths and widespread starvation in the strip." This statement does not make it obvious that the starvation was man-made - manufactured by the Israelis, and that the Israelis are also responsible for causing a famine in Gaza. Nor does it make it obvious that the Israelis are responsible for the vast majority of deaths in Palestine and that the vast majority of these are innocent Palestinian civilians. In other words, the FT has not given due recognition of the extent of Israeli-inflicted death and starvation of Palestinians. A reader could easily assume these deaths and starvation are a result of either or both sides (Israeli and Hamas) as neither are specifically named as being the cause of the deaths and the starvation.

Grayzone panel reveals the depravity of Israeli society and politics and their encouragement of antisemitism
16 Nov 2025
I came across this 23/08/2025 video of a 90 mins panel discussion organised by Grayzone. It provides a disturbing insight into Israelis' values and thoughts of Palestinians and their human rights:
"Everyone [in Israeli politics] beyond Netanyahu is genocidal. There is no alternative to genocidal zionism in Israel today...We have to force a public discussion...on zionism being a racist crime against humanity."
1hr 13min- listen to the guest recount Israeli civilains who physically blocked off the delivery of aid to Palestinians in Gaza and they openly talked of denying them food and letting them starve. These are Israelis who had gathered at a border crossing there with their children and had a bouncy castle, popcorn, and a barbecue - a social fairground atmosphere yet the theme was denying food to Palestinians and allowing them to starve to death. They also celebrated the raping of (Palestinian) prisoners This is the level of depravity of Israeli society. These people were denying aid before denying aid became Israeli policy. He also says the presence of these civilians (which the military allowed to gather at the border) presents a security risk for those civilians and so the military uses that risk as justification for the military itself stopping the delivery of aid to Palestinians.
He talks of Israelis who vent their hatred or inhumanity: "They're the happiest people in Israeli society and you'd never think so. They are ecstatic. They have no qualms about what they're doing. They're fanatical"
He also compares people who are artists living in New York and who have the same dreams and interests as counterparts in Tel Aviv and they are parallel universes, but when it comes to "the Palestinian question", those arty people in Israel express their support for what Netanyahu is doing and his other genocidal war criminals, especially after 7 Oct, i.e., the parallels of these two groups of similar people diverge on the subject of humanity for Palestinians.
Blumenthal adds (1hr 23 mins) that Israel and zionism (I&Z) "puts Jews in peril" and I&Z needs antisemitism in order to justify its own existence and to justify the creation of a supposed Jewish sanctuary", i.e., as Halper said: "zionists need antisemitism" (Halper), i.e., Netanyahu wants Jews to be attacked abroad and he wants antisemitism so he can say to Jews: move to Israel, or he can say to them: give me money and support me in my greater Israel work (ethnic cleansing). Those Jews would also provide the manpower needed to fight his wars.
Halper quoted a poll that says 82% of Israelis support ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza; 56% support expelling from Israel Palestinians with Israeli citizenship; 47% support the IDF killing all inhabitants in an enemy city; 58% of Israelis are not concerned about violence in the west bank against Palestinians. Halper also says of Israeli society, that except for a tiny minority, Israeli society is "excited about, or tolerant of, genocide" and so if people care about Jews, they need to cut their ties with Israel.
Blumenthal says that the Israeli lobby has "destroyed" black people who spoke out against Israel because the lobby knows that if black people en masse opposed what the Israelis are doing, "it's going to lead to serious problems for the Israeli lobby...that's why they buy black figures like Wesley Bell and Cory Booker" and they have spent massively to "displace" black politicians such as Corey Bush (see this 2024 article)

Ealing Council Divestment Petition Stall: Sunday 16th Nov 2025
16 Nov 2025
I attended this event today. I thought it was a BDS event, but it turns out it was to gather signatures for a petition to pressure Ealing Council to divest from companies that support the genocide by the Israelis. I signed the petition. It was held outside an abandoned Starbucks shop (hooray) adjacent to the Oaks shopping Center on High Street, Acton.
Click on the images below to read the text of the leaflet I handed out to passers-by. Unusually, on this occasion I spoke up, asking passers-by to "sign the petition for Gaza" and Palestine. Many people just walked by totally uninterested; others politely refused; others enquired and took the leaflet but did not sign; some took notice of me and enquired or they completed the petition in full. It is demoralising to see people show no interest. I guess some have genuine reasons to do that, but I hope none have no empathy for Palestinians.

The Israeli lobby in the US twists the reality of who really is "America First"
15 Nov 2025
Mearsheimer said in this 14 Nov 2025 video, that Tucker Carlson is America First and yet he is being portrayed by Levin as the enemy within and Levin is wrapping himself around the US flag and saying he is the America First guy.
This portrayal of Carlson and of himself (Levin) is the OPPOSITE of reality according to Mearsheimer and so what Levin is doing is another example of Israeli supporters twisting reality and spreading misinformation.
Levin and Levin's kind are NOT America First because they want America to support Israel first no matter what-even if that support is against the interests of America.
Because Carlson is saying these pro-Israeli Americans are not putting America First, he (Carlson) is being attacked by the Levin and his kind and he (Carlson) is being branded the enemy within.
The reality is the reverse: Levin and his kind are the enemy withn the US not Carlson.
Mearsheimer also makes the important point that these pro-Israeli Americans do not engage in reasoned debate because they'd lose, so instead they get Levin to attack an America First person to convince some listeners, even though the argument used by Levin is, to the critical listener, ridiculous.
That argument is becoming increasingly difficult for the Israelis to win, says Mearsheimer - which is why the lobby avoids engaging in reasoned debate and instead launches one-sided attacks on adversaries and make fake accusations of antisemitism. The pro Israelis also spend money (and they have lots of it) to win political favours or apply for court orders to sanction, charge, or shutdown adversaries.
My opinion of Tucker Carlson
Even though I side with the argument Carlson is making about the Pro-Israelis (as described by Mearsheimer above), overall, I think Carlson is a low-life disgusting racist. Here are some examples of his racism:
I have not come across a single word this guy has said in support of Palestinians or condemning Israel for its war crimes, its genocide, or its ethnic cleansing. His attack on Israel is to put America First and not not a show of support for Palestinians.

Even though I side with the argument Carlson is making about the Pro-Israelis (as described by Mearsheimer above), overall, I think Carlson is a low-life disgusting racist. Here are some examples of his racism:
- He said that immigration makes the United States "poorer and dirtier and more divided." (ref). Subsequently, Carlson appeared to redirect his racist soutburst: “The left says we have a moral obligation to admit the world's poor, even if it makes our own country more like Tijuana is now, which is to say poorer and dirtier and more divided. That's what we said. It's true," Carlson said (ref)
- Carlson's show has been described by NY Times as “the most racist show in the history of cable news.” (ref). He said Iraq is “is a crappy place filled with a bunch of, you know, semiliterate primitive monkeys — that’s why it wasn’t worth invading.” and that it has “a culture where people just don’t use toilet paper or forks.”.
I have not come across a single word this guy has said in support of Palestinians or condemning Israel for its war crimes, its genocide, or its ethnic cleansing. His attack on Israel is to put America First and not not a show of support for Palestinians.
UN's Albanese, issues a report condemning "third states" for their "collective crime" of genocide of Palestinians
The UN Special Rapporteur (UNSR) on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory, Francesca Albanese, has issued another report - this one is called "Gaza genocide - a collective crime" and is dated 20 Oct 2025 (read it here). The report may be downloaded from the webpage of the UN, here. The summary about the report is as follows:
"The ongoing genocide in Gaza is a collective crime, sustained by the complicity of influential Third States that have enabled longstanding systemic violations of international law by Israel. Framed by colonial narratives that dehumanize the Palestinians, this live-streamed atrocity has been facilitated through Third States’ direct support, material aid, diplomatic protection and, in some cases, active participation. It has exposed an unprecedented chasm between peoples and their governments, betraying the trust on which global peace and security rest. The world now stands on a knife-edge between the collapse of the international rule of law and hope for renewal. Renewal is only possible if complicity is confronted, responsibilities are met and justice is upheld."
A 12 Nov 2025 interview of Albanese by Hodges to discuss the report, may be seen here.
A description of the role of the UNSR can be seen here, including an email address for the UNSR.
I sent Albanese (in July 2025) details of organisations that support Israel. Though I asked for it, I never received an acknowledgement from her office or from her of the information I sent.

I sent Albanese (in July 2025) details of organisations that support Israel. Though I asked for it, I never received an acknowledgement from her office or from her of the information I sent.
Kamala Harris the opportunist knows which way the wind on the Israeli genocide of Palestinians is blowing, and has changed her tune accordingly
Watch this 13 Nov 2025 Novara Media clip of Kamala Harris promoting her book and only now reflecting on Gaza and saying she and Biden could have done more on Gaza. Note she did NOT say these things and was not critical of Israel at anytime while she was trying to become the US president. Her admission now (that more could have been done) is disgusting to see.
Harris is an opportunist who, like other pro-Israel and anti-Palestine Americans, has seen which way the wind is blowing and is changing her tune on Israel. She will say and do whatever it takes to get elected and at the moment the sentiment is turning against Israel and in support of Palestinians so Harris's words are chiming with that sentiment.
Harris is complicit in genocide and war crimes and no matter what she says now, that stain will never wash. As such, I think of her and Biden with disgust.
It is interesting to note what the other commentator said: $8 billion was given to the Israelis by the US in the month when Biden ended his tenure, far more than in earlier months, so it seems to me that payment was a deliberate last-minute transfer of massive wealth from America to Israel.

80 years after Brits liberated Jews from Bergen-Belsen Nazi concentration camp, the UK government is supporting Jews' genocide of Palestinians
Watch this poignant clip (uploaded 27/10/2025) hosted by by Katie Halpar, in which former British soldier, Chris Romberg expresses his shame over the UK government actively supporting a genocide (by the Israelis) even though 80 years ago (in 1945) British soldiers liberated prisoners from the Bergen-Belsen Nazi concentration camp.
He also talks about the atrocities Israelis were perpetrating decades ago when he was posted to the Middle East. He also talks of apartheid states. The Israelis' apartheid system these days is far worse than decades earlier, but even in those days, it was considered to be worse than South Africa's apartheid.
He laments at the dearth of serving and former British soldiers who refuse to speak out and condemn the UK's complicity in the Israeli war crimes, or soldiers who do not say they refuse to carry out orders that are against the Geneva convention or humanitarian law. It is astonishing these soldiers continue to remain silent even they might be committing war crimes through their complicity in war crimes being committed by the Isarelis.
Romberg is one of hundreds of Brits who stood up for Palestinians and was arrested for supporting Palestine Action. See this Aug 2025 Novara Media clip of Romberg supporting Palestine Action and condemning the UK government's support of a genocide.

Israel should be banned from sports generally because of its genocide of Palestinians
13 Nov 2025
Listen to Robert Peston in this 21 Oct 2025 video (at about 6min 40 sec) make an ass of himself. He is up in arms at the idea that Israel be banned from sports "you can't endorse that can you?" asks Peston of Polanski, with a tone of incredulity.
Polanski says "I absolutely endorse that" citing the genocide in Gaza perpetrated by the Israelis. Israel should be banned from sports in the way Russia is, Polanski says, to which Peston counters by saying "you have to accept Israel is a democracy...to punish innocent citizens in that way is surely not appropriate" he says, with a look of concern.
Note how Peston is asking with a tone of a bully and is imposing his beliefs. Peston's theatrics and tone exposes his bias and his stance on the issues he is asking Polanski to discuss: "you can't endorse that...it's inappropriate to punish citizens...you have to accept Israel is a democracy" to which Polanski responded by informing Peston of the appalling treatment meted out to flotilla passengers, treatment that Polanski said is not reflective of a "democracy". Peston then very abruptly and uncermeniously ended the interview before Polanski had finished his response.
Peston framed the questions before Polanski even uttered a word. To Polanski's credit, he remained steadfast in his convictions and did not cower to Peston's bullying tactics, but hit back with equal force and conviction in his beliefs.
Note also Peston's idiotic line of thinking - his point that being a democracy gives a state immunity from a sports ban, so it's OK, according to Peston, to ban Russia from sports, but for Israel, that's "surely not appropriate". His logic is warped and/or he is a mouthpiece for the Israeli lobby.

Fuentes nails it on the capture of US politics by Jews
13 Nov 2025
I stumbled across this video published today that shows clips of a guy called Fuentes talking about the Israelis. I've heard of him but I don't follow him nor do I know where he stands on anything.
This video caught my attention because as I listened, I agreed with his points on the Israeli capture of US politics and the media and the false antisemitism accusations Israelis make. The host ("Iron Dissent") shows he has a deep understanding and knowledge of the history of the Jews and how they have infiltrated US politics and controlled US foreign policy and for so long.
He and Fuentes are acutely aware of the massive amounts of money Jewish oligarchs deploy - to direct US politics, and the money they will spend in 2028. They also spend money to shut down any criticism of Israel or any support of Palestinians, and they have no mercy trying to destroy the lives, education, and careers of these targets.
I don't follow nor do I endorse Fuentes, but on this issue, I think he and the host are on the ball and are to be commended for saying what I believe is the truth about the Israelis and their capture of US politicians and US policy and the massive cost of that Israeli capture - to human life, quality of life, and peace across so many countries and over so many years. I don't think what Fuentes said in this video was antisemitic.
They were critical of the Israelis and rightly so for their capture and control of bought US politicians - politicians who are complicit in the death and destruction in Palestine and neighbouring countries, and are responsible for the poor state of the US and its citizens. I don't think US politicians are putting Americans first. They are instead favouring Israeli policies that favour the Israelis. Any loyal American would put America first not Israel first.
Update 21 Nov 2025
I found out more about Fuentes's beliefs on this Kulinski video on 21/11/25. Kulinski read out a list of offensive comments Fuentes has made. Some I do agree are vile and should offend any person who believes in decency and equality of human rights regardless of race, gender, religion and the like. On that basis, I regard Fuentes as a low-life and disreputable person who has no place in decent society.

Trump and Netanyahu use the law to murder boat people and Palestinians
13 Nov 2025
Read this CNN article (12 Nov 2025) that illustrates how terrorist regimes, such as those of the US and Israel, twist and deform the principles and rules of law to give their criminal acts the appearance of legitimacy and being within the law.
They use terms to justify their crimes ("they" or "them" refer to the boat people Trump is murdering): "they pose an imminent threat to Americans"; they are “enemy combatants”; they are in an “armed conflict” with the US. Trump and his lawyers give them a name: "foreign terrorist groups". CNN points out that some of the boats carrying these designated terrorists either stopped or reversed course, so they are no longer a threat to the US.
The UK has stopped providing intelligence to the US in relation to the murdering of these boat people "because it [the UK] does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal", said CNN.
"The UN’s human rights chief, Volker Türk, said last month that the strikes [on the boat people] violate international law and amount to “extrajudicial killing.” The UK agrees with that assessment " CNN added.
The Intercept revealed that "the administration admitted in a closed-door briefing to Congress that they don’t even know the identities of the people they’ve killed." and a US Congress member said (of the murders of boat people): “This is just murder.” (ref: Inbox, 12/11/25)
The relevance of this post to Palestinians is that terrorists and cold-blooded murderers, such as Trump and Netanyahu, will twist and distort existing laws or they'll give their opponents labels, so they may say they are acting within the law as they carry out their crimes - such as murdering people without due process or taking their property. This strategy of abusing laws can be applied to any situation.
These terrorists can also create new "laws" to achieve their aims. For example, the Israelis have just proposed a law that will allow them to "lawfully" execute Palestinians. Read the statement below from an Amnesty International press release issued on 12 Nov 2025:

WAWOG - supporting Palestinian peoples' freedom
12 Nov 2025
I came across an organisation called Writers against the war on Gaza (WAWOG) that I sent an email to about membership. They are
"a coalition of media, cultural, and academic workers who are committed to the horizon of liberation for the Palestinian people. We organize against Zionism and American militarism from within the imperial core."

More FT.com bias and misreporting of the Gaza "ceasefire"
12 Nov 2025
A FT.com article (link) with the title "Donald Trump pushes to expand Abraham Accords after Gaza ceasefire" published today. It is yet another example of the bias and misreporting by the FT. See below (italics) a repeat of what I wrote on 03 Nov 2025 - in particular, what EuroMed said of the fake "ceasefire".
The 12 Nov 2025 article said "Hamas’s October 7 2023 attack on Israel — which triggered the war..." The FT repeated this message in its 11 Nov 2025 article "Hamas’s 2023 attack on Israel, which triggered the war in Gaza".
A definition of "war" says it is "a state of armed conflict". That is certainly true of the Israelis and Hamas (they each have weapons), but it is not true of Palestinian civilians, who are Israeli targets.
It was not accurate therefore of the FT to say 7 Oct triggered a "war". It would be more accurate and just for the FT to have written: "Hamas’s October 7 2023 attack on Israel — which triggered the Israelis' a) war with Hamas and b) their genocide, starving to death, and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian civilians."
In the 12 Nov piece, the FT wrote:
"Israel and Hamas have clashed several times during the ceasefire — with Israeli forces launching massive air strikes — while Hamas has sought to regroup."
The FT did not say that Israel had broken the ceasefire and then resumed it after murdering at least nine people, including three women and four children, figures it reported in its 19 Oct article (ref). The FT also did not say that the Israelis had stopped the supply of aid, probably another Israeli breach of the terms of the "ceasefire".
The FT did not mention in its 12 Nov article the 46 children and 20 women murdered by the Israelis as they launched attacks on 28 Oct 2025, murdering 109 Palestinians in total, after which it resumed the "ceasefire". Those massive Israeli attacks were in response to one Israeli soldier killed by "militants", which Hamas denied: "Hamas claimed it had no involvement in the incident and remains committed to the ceasefire, which it accused Israel of violating with its new strikes." (ref).
Even if Israelis were justified in retaliating against "militants", to murder so many women and children appears to be an inhumane act of "collective punishment" of Palestinians by the Israelis. It also adds support to the view that Israelis have dehumanised Palestinians.
It is important to remember that the Israelis are illegally occupying Palestinian land so they have no right to be there, and they have no right to oppress Palestinians. The Israelis certainly have no right to commit genocide, ethnic cleansing, and starving to death of Palestinians.
It is right and reasonable for an invading military force to be repulsed. That is what the Ukrainians are doing to Russian soldiers, and they (Ukraine) are getting money, weapons, and political support from the Europeans and the Americans to fight the Russians. Where are the countries and their money and their sanctions to help the Palestinians repulse Israeli soldiers and to repulse illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank who murder and attack Palestinians and who destroy their property and steal their land? These countries, that should be condemning sanctioning and ostracising the Israelis for the decades-long oppression of Palestinians, are instead supporting the Israelis financially, diplomatically and militarily, and they are ignoring the plight of the Palestinians - who are facing genocide, starving to death, and ethnic cleansing by the Israelis.
The FT article on 12 Nov described "the tenuousness of the ceasefire in Gaza, which has been repeatedly threatened by outbreaks of violence." The "ceasefire" has been more than threatened. It has been broken, by the Israelis and evidenced by 711 people murdered or injured by the Israelis since 10 Oct 2025.
I repeat what I said on 30 Oct 2025 (see post below), and repeat the words of Mearsheimer:
Mearsheimer said what the Israelis are doing is worse than collective punishment, it's genocide: "They're well beyond collective punishment. This is genocide...Their goal is to kill as many Palestinians as possible." The idea that they're going after Hamas and that they're going to great lengths to spare the civilian population, is laughable...On top of turning the place into Hiroshima, they're trying to starve the Palestinians to death in Gaza as well."
The Israeli regime has murdered thousands of women and children, and deliberately starved Palestinian civilians to death. It continues to murder them. Since 10 Oct (when the fake ceasefire began), at least 211 Palestinians have been murdered by the Israelis and more than 500 have been injured, including women and children (link)...
FT.com then added: "Last month, a US-brokered ceasefire took effect in Gaza, raising hopes of an end to the fighting." but it did not mention the Israelis have NOT stopped murdering Palestinians, including children since the fake 10 Oct 2025 "ceasefire". There is no Israeli ceasefire.
EuroMed said "Israel's genocide in Gaza has not ended; it has merely shifted into a quieter, less visible space. By maintaining the siege and allowing intermittent attacks that kill civilians, Israel sustains a gradual process of extermination while the world falsely claims the genocide has stopped." (link)
The 12 Nov 2025 article stated the words "normalise, normalisation, or normalising" at least 13 times, but did not explain, at all, the meaning of any of these words.
It is worth mentioning that the FT.com writers are willing to use, speaking for themselves, the term Gaza ceasefire without qualification, yet they don't say, themselves, to my knowledge, the Israelis are committing genocide or ethnic cleansing or war crimes or crimes against humanity.

He's a terrorist until he's useful to us (the Israelis and the US)
The US pivot from branding him as a Syrian terrorist with a $10m US bounty on his head, to rebranding him as welcome ally, rolling out the US presidential red carpet for him, Trump singing his praises, and US soldiers playing basketball with him.
Question: Why the US pivot?
Answer: Because this guy is pro-Israel and he's the new leader of Syria so is useful to the US and to the Israelis. He's already shown it: he's handed over part of Syrian territory to the Israelis and he's approved a US base in Damascus.
It's unlikely this guy is good news for Palestinians. Watch this Breaking Points 11/11/25 video about this guy's transformation in the eyes of the US. Families and soldiers, not just those who are American, might be more unwavering in their opinion of this guy.

Muslim countries facilitate the genocide of Palestinians
Watch the interview (at 11min 02 sec) by Mehdi Hasan of Khaled Abou El Fadl in which El Fadl says:
“The genocide could not have proceeded and would not proceed today if Muslims were not complicit. The role of the United Arab Emirates in covering for Israel and continuing to supply Israel. The role of Jordan in making sure that goods continue to flow into Israel. The role of Egypt in suffocating and laying siege to the Palestinians and helping Israel with this The role of Saudia Arabia in continuing to talk about the Abraham Accord and possibilities of peace and the New York Project and funding Trump, giving him billions and billions of dollars...That is why Israel...doesn't see any cost to reneging on its agreements to Palestinians" He adds that arabs are not against allowing the Israelis to finish off Hamas or to do the job for them (for the arabs).
El Fadl is not alone in his complicity claim. The image is of me holding a placard at the 11 Oct 2025 march in London. There were several placards with this message on display. I had not seen such messages before on these marches. Perhaps people had finally had the courage to publicly condemn these enabling muslim countries and expose their complicity in genocide.

Welch's "I've had it" show is sponsored by West Bank profiteer, Booking.com

I was very surprised to see Jennifer Welch of "I've had it" have Booking.com as a sponsor (see video). I sent a message today to her (see below) about that relationship and why I think she is a hypocrit.

Biden and Trump administrations ignored Israel's war crime evidence and chose not to obtain its own evidence
10 Nov 2025
A Reuters report on 07 Nov 2025 shows that US administration and its lawyers deliberately avoided gathering their own evidence of Israeli war crimes so the US could continue to supply weapons and intelligence to the Israelis. "lawyers from across the U.S. government determined that it was still legal for the U.S. to continue supporting Israel with weapons and intelligence because the U.S. had not gathered its own evidence that Israel was violating the law of armed conflict".
Further, "Israel’s military lawyers warned there was evidence that could support war crimes charges against Israel" but the Americans chose NOT to use that evidence and so stop supplying weapons and intelligence to the Israelis.
"Even when the evidence clearly pointed to war crimes, the Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card was proving intent," a US official said. "intent" is not a necessary condition to prosecute a war crime, but it is for the crime of genocide - read the UN definitions of war crimes and genocide, here and here.
In summary, the US chose NOT TO gather its own evidence of war crimes and because it did not have its own evidence it concluded that it was legal to continue to support the Israelis even if the Israelis were committing war crimes. Further, the US ignored, in order to continue to supply weapons and intelligence, the Israelis' evidence that could support war crimes charges against Israel.
The UK government has taken a similarly noncomittal attitude to genocide by the Israelis. See my post in September 2025 below, about Lammy refusing to admit the Israelis are guilty of genocide and saying: "The [UK] government has not concluded that Israel is acting with that intent."
A Reuters report on 07 Nov 2025 shows that US administration and its lawyers deliberately avoided gathering their own evidence of Israeli war crimes so the US could continue to supply weapons and intelligence to the Israelis. "lawyers from across the U.S. government determined that it was still legal for the U.S. to continue supporting Israel with weapons and intelligence because the U.S. had not gathered its own evidence that Israel was violating the law of armed conflict".

US foreign policy of destabling then ousting foreign governments contrasts with its unwavering support for Israel
US has for decades created instability and political change in foreign lands for self-interest. The latest iteration of that foreign policy is its plot to take control of Venezuela. This Majority Report video on 09 Nov 2025, reveals the real reason for Venezuerla's domestic economic stress is US-imposed economic sanctions on Venezuela. Had the US not imposed economic sanctions, Venezuelans would be enjoying a higher quality of life economically.
The support by the US for the Israelis does not appear to provide any material benefits to the US, of the kind that are obvious by taking conrol of Venezuela, so it remains to be seen why the US continues to pump $billions into the Israeli regime and why it is complicit in genocide and ethnic cleansing. Perhaps the Israeli regime has a hold on Trump or other US politicians.

US wakes up to an internet alternative narrative to mainstream media's decades-long pro-Israel propaganda
TYT's video (09 Nov 2025) showed (from US polls) there had been a massive shift in support to Palestinians and away from Israelis, and for the first time, more people supported the Palestinians than the Israelis. As the host said, it took 2 years (and tens of thousands of Palestinan deaths) for people to shift their opinion.
Uygur, with his usual animated passion, condemned the mainstream media for its pro-Israel reporting and is utter disregard for the human rights and plight of Palestinians. He said the reason for the shift was down to the internet providing an alternative source of information about the events in Palestine.
"Now the internet says to the mainstream media 'we don't give a goddamn what your proaganda is...now we can see and now we can hear and we don't need your interpretation anymore'...Israel is not the victim...[why a person might think Israel is the victim is because of their extreme bias] or you got brainwashed by mainstream media into making you think the overwhelming aggressor in the area is somehow the victim, so I love to see America waking up." Uyugur said.

Israeli war bonds - what they are, who buys them, and how to demand your fund manager stops holding them
08 Nov 2025
I stumbled (from a 08 Nov 2025 Katie Halpar video) onto information about a campaign in the USA calling on US organisations to stop investing in Israeli bonds (aka war bonds) because that money funds genocide, ethnic cleansing and many atrocities perpetrated by the Israelis. I am aware of Israeli bonds but not of campaigns to call on investors to stop investing in them. These campaigns relate to the US, but they could be applied to any other country with money to invest.

Netanyahu shows international justice is a sham with double standards
08 Nov 2025
FT.com published a piece on 08 Nov 2025 called The legacy on the Nuremberg and international justice.
I am disillusioned by the international infrastructure that supposedly exists to prosecute war crimes and to hold those who commit them to account, and the countries that portray themselves as being bastions of decency and respect for law. Since genocides continue to be committed and war crimes are unprosecuted, and the war criminal, Netanyahu, jets around with impunity instead of being arrested for wear crimes, it is clear to me the international system of justice is a sham and it has double standards. Read my comments on this article (see below, or click here):

UK government turns the screw on preventing Palestinian protests
On 08 Nov 2025, Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC) circulated a notice and a Petition, saying:
"This week the government tabled an extreme proposal in parliament to empower the police to further crack down on protests based on their ‘cumulative impact’...The government has made clear that our marches are the main target of these measures."
Click here to watch a 2-min video of the government discussing the proposal. I signed and submitted the PSC Petition on 08 Nov calling on the government to withdraw its proposal (see image below):

More FT.com reporting bias
08 Nov 2025
Yet again, the FT.com has shown its bias and framed its narrative in favour of the Israelis. In keeping with the tactic of the Israeli lobby, the FT has again shut down any opportunity for discourse by not allowing reader comments on its article. Instead, I sent an email (read here) on 09 Nov 2025 directly to FT.com criticising such shameful writing.
In its 08 Nov 2025 article (here) FT journos ("James Shotter in Jerusalem, Andrew England in London and Neri Zilber in Tel Aviv") - note the geographical location of these journos for an indication of where their sympathies might lie. They write:
"The scale of the devastation in Gaza — much of which has been reduced to rubble by Israel’s two-year offensive against Hamas"
The Israeli offensive has not been against Hamas alone. Its offensive has been aimed at destroying Palestinians as a people by destroying their civilian properties, their homes, and their agricultural lands. (The Israelis have also targetted Palestinian lives - murdering and starving Palestinians to death, including women and children).
To their utter shame, these FT journos omitted to add the deliberate wholesale destruction of Palestinian infrastructure by the Israelis and instead these journos explained the devastation as an "offensive against Hamas".
There is no doubt the Israelis have systematically and deliberately destroyed Palestinian civilian infrastructure. See the post below (search for "Images of Gaza ") that likens the landscape of Gaza to Hiroshima after the US dropped its bomb and lists the hundreds of civilian buildings such as schools and hospitals razed to the ground by Israeli bombing.
As to the plan by the Israelis and the Americans for rebuilding on the illegally-occupied land controlled by Israelis, the solution is not what they plan to do. If it goes ahead, the Trump clan will make a bundle from the property developments, that could last for years, all rge while Palestinians will continue to live in an apartheid state under the control and oppression of the Israeli regime, and they will continue to be murdered. Instead, the solution is simple: All Israelis must immediately withdraw from illegally-occupied Palestinian land and the Israelis and their warmongering allies must leave the Palestinians alone.

The Jewish lobby is spreading antisemitism
09 Nov 2025
Another Halper video (09 Nov 2025) that exposes a Jew spreading false antisemitism. This rabbi accused NYC Mayor Mamdani of antisemitism. Mamdani said in 2023: "When the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it's been laced by the IDF" The rabbi said of Mamdani's comment: "This crosses the line clearly into antisemitism. Not only demonising Israelis but echoing the age-old antisemitic trope that jews across the world are the root cause of our problem here" Mamdani's comment is not antisemitic because Mamdani merely highlighted the relationship between the NYPD and the IDF (they train together and can exchange tactics on how to be brutal when dealing with civilians. The ADL sponsors the sending of NYPD people to train with the IDF).
Beth Miller of Jewish Voices for Peace emphasised her efforts to "deexceptionalise" Israel. She explained that she does not single out Israel for her criticism, but rather she tries to create consistency by removing the "special relationship" that Israel has with the US. The US defends Israel's atrocities and sends it $billions annually. This is exceptional treatment and a special relationship Israel enjoys. Miller is trying to bring consistency by "deexceptionalising" that special relationship Israel has and as a result of dexeceptionalising, create consistency of treatment for all.
“How dare you pretend that it is antisemitic to call it a genocide” Katie Halper
07 Nov 2025
"I can't emphasise enough how much people like Jonathan Greenblatt, and the ADL, and AIPAC are creating antisemitism. It's not Zohran Mamdani...The people who are trivialising real antisemitism and fomenting antisemitism...those are the people we have to worry about" Katie Halper (ref 23 min).

Sponsoring artists vs sponsoring Israeli genocide
07 Nov 2025
A FT.com article on 06 Nov 2025 was about an artist who won an award sponsored by the investment manager, Baillie Gifford (BG). This sponsor has drawn a lot of attention for its involvment in fossil fuels and investments in Israeli companies, and there have been calls for it to divest and for artists not to associate with it or events it sponsors.
I published a comment (see below) to the article.
An Open Letter calling on the Edinburgh International Festival (EIF) to cut its ties with BG, is here and a screenshot of it is here. I signed and sent it on 07 Nov. Where it asked "Relationship to EIF or profession (audience, artist, public figure", I said: "I'm a human being concerned about the welfare of Palestinians and the planet" Where it asked "Comment to EIF (we will anonymise these)", I added: "Cut your ties to all sponsors who invest in companies that either directly or indirectly support or enable genocide, ethnic cleansing, and other war crimes."
Here is a May 2024 letter from Fossil Free Books calling on:"Baillie Gifford to divest from the fossil fuel industry and from companies that profit from Israeli apartheid, occupation and genocide"
Here is a link to an article (May 2024) by an artist who was against such relationships. Hay and EIF subsequently ended their partnerships with BG, but EIF refused the call and it renewed its partnership with BG in 2025. Read this Aug 2025 article on their decision and the call to end the partnership.

Sexual assault of a Palestinian exposes Israelis' and Israeli society's depravity and inhumanity towards Palestinians. More FT biased reporting
The post below about Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi releasing a video of abuse of a prisoner, did not provide details of that abuse.
The FT (03 Nov 2025 article here) did not even admit it was abuse, only going as far as saying it was an "alleged abuse". It did not describe the nature of the alleged abuse, other than saying it "left the Palestinian detainee with severe injuries".
I learned more of the nature of the abuse and these reports revealed the "abuse" reported by the FT in its 03 Nov 2025 article) was far more depraved than might have been assumed by just seeing it described by the FT as "abuse".
I sent an email to FT.com on 06 Nov 2025 (see image below) that was highly critical of the way the FT had failed to adequately and fairly desribe the attack on this victim.
"Allegations first surfaced against the suspects after a doctor treating a Palestinian detainee told Haaretz that he had suffered from "a ruptured bowel, a severe injury to his anus, lung damage and broken ribs"." (ref)
Various reports (see links below) show how depraved a significant part of Israeli society is, especially those Israelis who hold political power. Instead of condemning the Israelis who commit violence, they attack the Israelis who seek to uphold justice and law and order. They make heroes of those who commit violence. Further, if this kind of society was not bad enough, a significant number of Israelis condone any form of violence Israelis inflict on Palestinians. See some of these comments to illustrate their depravity and inhumanity:
"Ben-Gvir repeated his call for Palestinian prisoners to be executed"
"Others, including the hard right and ultranationalist politicians, such as National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, within Israel, have argued that any action – even gang rape – is permissible if it is undertaken for the security of the state."
On being asked by Ahmad Tibi, one of the Arab MPs within the Israeli Knesset last week if it was legitimate “to insert a stick into a person’s rectum”, Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party, responded: “If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!”
"Bezalel Smotrich, was equally active on social media at the time, writing that the alleged rapists should be treated like “heroes, not villains”."

Watch this 12 Nov video (at 12min 45 sec) of a clip showing Israelis cheering and hugging the Israeli rapists. Any decent humane society would condemn these rapists.
15 Nov 2025
Mearsheimer said in this 14 Nov 2025 video, that the image Israel has portrayed of itself as a "noble liberal democracy, the only liberal democracy in the middle east, the country that has western values...that is a distortion of reality...the more you look at the Israelis the more they look like Nazi Germany...and this [the rape] is just one more manifestation of this" He adds: "Israel's public face.. is making it almost impossible for the lobby to defend Israel" Even so, Mearsheimer notes that Trump is in a vulnerable position currently and that makes him easy to be manipulated by the Israelis and the Israeli lobby to allow Israel to continue the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Trump regime and YouTube block evidence of human rights violations by Israelis in Palestine
06 Nov 2025
Read this shocking article by Intercept on 04 Nov 2025 of the US government's suppression of evidence of Israeli human rights violations of Palestinians.
“It is outrageous that YouTube is furthering the Trump administration’s agenda to remove evidence of human rights violations and war crimes from public view,” Katherine Gallagher (Center for Constitutional Rights)
"The Trump administration leveled the sanctions against the organizations in September over their work with the International Criminal Court in cases charging Israeli officials of war crimes."
"YouTube’s move “protects perpetrators from accountability.” said The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (in Gaza)
"“The Trump administration is focused on contributing to the censorship of information about Israeli atrocities in Palestine"
I forwarded the article to Grayzone on 06 Nov 25 and suggested they pursue this story.
Trump's vindictiveness has been felt by people from different paths: the DoJ, the FBI, not only those who liaised with the arrest warrants of Israeli war criminals.

The United States...of Israel
Proof that the Israelis control the US president. Watch this video (at -42min remaining) where a pro-Israel supporter (Ron Dermer, US-born former Israeli Ambassador to the US, and top adviser to Netanyahu) is seen bragging of having direct access to the US president. "It's a brazen admission that a foreign state (Israel) and their mega donors get the US government to do as they want, and bragging about it." Said Mate. "That is such a disgusting scene", said Blumenthal after watching Dermer. "He [Dermer] kept the genocide going for two years" and he repeatedly crashed ceasefires or potential ceasefires.
“In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis. We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here. There is something deeply deeply wrong with this culture, and it needs to be defeated.” Randy Fine talking on Fox News 22/05/2025 about dropping a nuclear bomb on the Palestinians.(link). For more of Fine's offensive comments that no decent person would utter, see this Sludge 23/10/25 article, here, and the TYT video about it, here.
"Release the hostages. Until then, starve away. (This is all a lie anyway. It amazes me that the media continues to regurgitate Muslim terror propaganda.)" Randy Fine's Tweet 22/07/2025 in response to news on 22/07/2025 that 15 Palestinians including children, had starved from famine and malnutrition. (link)
Cenk Uygur said (06/11/2025) of Fine's deeply offensive and vile comments: "No one's taking any action against him; no one's cancelling him; no one finds it objectionable...you can say anything you want against muslims and American media will cheer you on" "They [the media] will say the most racist things against arabs; the most bigoted things against muslims and no one will blink an eye and then... you'll criticise Israel in the mildest way against the genocide and then they [the media, will say] like Oh my god we care so much about bigotry; everyone's an antisemite!"
"The number one problem we have in this country is our media and our politicians which are completely bought off...not just by Israel but all the giant multinational corporations." Uygur warned
"[If you are not from America, then] you have no idea how suffocating it is [the Israeli lobby]...Everytime anybody...criticises Israel by one per cent, they try to ruin their lives...They're trying to get rid of anyone who would dare to criticise Israel...they're going to spend billions of dollars against any politician [across the political spectrum]...that dares to say we should represent Americans." "Anyone who doesn't say that they will serve Israel loyally is going to get tens of millions of dollars spent against them." Uygur added.
"The New York press... is vicious and they hate anyone who doesn't support Israel...The American media is gross and always biased."

"Release the hostages. Until then, starve away. (This is all a lie anyway. It amazes me that the media continues to regurgitate Muslim terror propaganda.)" Randy Fine's Tweet 22/07/2025 in response to news on 22/07/2025 that 15 Palestinians including children, had starved from famine and malnutrition. (link)
Cenk Uygur said (06/11/2025) of Fine's deeply offensive and vile comments: "No one's taking any action against him; no one's cancelling him; no one finds it objectionable...you can say anything you want against muslims and American media will cheer you on" "They [the media] will say the most racist things against arabs; the most bigoted things against muslims and no one will blink an eye and then... you'll criticise Israel in the mildest way against the genocide and then they [the media, will say] like Oh my god we care so much about bigotry; everyone's an antisemite!"
"The number one problem we have in this country is our media and our politicians which are completely bought off...not just by Israel but all the giant multinational corporations." Uygur warned
"[If you are not from America, then] you have no idea how suffocating it is [the Israeli lobby]...Everytime anybody...criticises Israel by one per cent, they try to ruin their lives...They're trying to get rid of anyone who would dare to criticise Israel...they're going to spend billions of dollars against any politician [across the political spectrum]...that dares to say we should represent Americans." "Anyone who doesn't say that they will serve Israel loyally is going to get tens of millions of dollars spent against them." Uygur added.
"The New York press... is vicious and they hate anyone who doesn't support Israel...The American media is gross and always biased."
Fake antisemitism has been committed by Jews

Ackman shows his colours
05 Nov 2025
FT.com published an article on 05 Nov 2025 about the new Mayor of NYC, Mamdani, including the campaign by billionaires (including Ackman), to block him.
I posted a comment to that article and, in particular, I aired my opinion of Ackman - see it below (I don't know if it will be published because I received a message saying “Your comment has been submitted and will be reviewed by a moderator“). Update 06 Nov 2025 - FT.com approved my quote and published it. The video of Hasan talking of Ackman's incendiary rhetoric is here.

"Any Jewish person that votes for Zohran Mamdani a proven and self professed JEW HATER, is a stupid person!!!" - Trump
05 Nov 2025
In response to Trump's jibe (which was made as a last ditch attempt to swing the vote in the Mayoral race):
Ben from Jewish Voice for Peace said: "It's antisemitic nonsense...it's bigotry plain and simple...we're sick of antisemitism being weaponised against Palestinian people and against our own communities aswell" (watch the 05 Nov 2025 Democracy Now video here at 3min 22 sec)
Brad Lander, NYC Comptroller and a Jew who ran for Mayor against Mamdani and Cuomo, said: "Donald Trump doesn't get to tell us how to be Jewish. He sure can't tell smart from stupid."

Norway's SWF chooses genocide and ethnic cleansing by the Israelis and the Americans over its own ethics
05 Nov 2025
The Norwegian SWF has suspended its ethics policy to avoid selling its investments in US tech companies, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft - they provide products or services that support the Israeli and American genocide of Palestinians. Stoltenberg admitted: "to withdraw from some of the largest companies in the world...would undermine the purpose of the fund to be a broad, diversified global investment fund.” in other words, he supports genocide because that will allow him to continue to invest and earn income from US large tech companies that are supporting, and also profitting from, genocide.

How the pro-Israel lobby uses minority groups to attack and smear critics of Israeli genocide of Palestinians
Excellent video (04 Nov 2025) by TYT that shows how the pro-Israel lobby uses minority groups to do its dirty work. In the example cited, a group (the National Black Empowerment Action Fund) that represents African Americans (AA) issued a media campaign (that cost $2m) attacking the candidate for mayor, Mamdani (see images below)
The report in the New York Post was "an obvious AIPAC smear against...Mamdani" said Uygur. He added: "Pro-Israeli groups..have been buying off minority groups, creating minority groups, pretending they speak for...minority groups when in reality they're all doing it for Israel." said Uygur
It took relatively little investigation (Google search) to identify the people who run the AA group. It has just two people on its staff and those two have ties to the pro-Israel lobby group, AIPAC. In other words, AIPAC is behind the people who are behind the AA group. As always, the AA group is likely to have been paid to do AIPAC's bidding.
"Is AIPAC running this front group? Of course they are...Is it a total sham? Of course it is" said Uygur of this campaign to attack Mamdani.
"So this front group is just propaganda for Israel...The reason you don't see they're front groups is because mainstream media is sworn to secrecy on anything that is critical of Israel...They [mainstream media] are not in the news business; they're in the 'covering up news' business." said Uygur.
Uygur said, somewhat animatedly, how the pro-Israel lobby gets minority groups to denounce groups or individuals as antisemitic, or the pro-Israel lobby gets a person from that minority group (such as AAs, or muslims) to denounce and condemn others of that minority group (other AAs, or other muslims) as being antisemitic.
Update 05 Nov 2025
Ceny Uygar was ecstatic that the Israeli lobby wasted $40million trying to prevent Mamdani from becoming NYC Mayor - he won. "They are not invincible".

Pro-Israel lobby in US calls for deportations of undesirables. Stepen Miller is going farther
03 Nov 2025
The pro-Israel lobby has infiltrated the US government almost totally, and across the political spectrum. The wife of a pro-Israel supporter who is one of the most influential people in the Trump administration (Stephen Miller) threw a tantrum that involved another person on the panel of speaker, Cenk Uygur. Her behaviour has been circulating among online talking heads.
A couple of videos about that tantrum are: Glen Greenwald's analysis of her comments. The second is a video (from 8min:20sec) published by Kim Iversen about another extremely pro-Israel supporter (Randy Fine) - who has taken $0.5 million from the Israeli lobby.
In the second video, Uygur, responds to Fine's pro-Israel leaning even though Fine is a US congressman so he should be putting America first not a foreign government (Israel) first.
Note how Fine rants on and on about certain people in the US (while he does not admit it, it seems to me the type pf people he is talking about are: critical of Israel and/or they are coloured and/or they are muslim) for their constant criticism of the US. These US people don't constantly criticise the US, but Fine uses that lie and argument as justification for his call to deport these people from America, including Uygur. Miller's wife threatened to have Uygur deported if his documentation was inaccurate. She is echoing the sentiments of her husband:
"Miller was the key architect of the president's “Muslim ban”, a 2017 executive order that banned people from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the US. " (ref)
"He [Miller] is a figure who increasingly frames his calls for mass deportations as a public safety measure to keep the West free from foreign invaders pouring in from the global South – despite the government's own findings that even illegal immigrants commit crimes at dramatically lower rates than US-born nationals." (ref).
"For Miller, the goal of "mass deportations" has never been about law and order, but about the fantasy of a white America. His desire to deport his way to racial homogeneity has always been not only deeply immoral, but pretty much impossible." said Salon's Marcotte in Jun 2025 (ref)
The reason for mentioning all this is it illustrates how twisted these pro-Israel supporters are, because the arguments they use to justify their position are false or irrational. The other reason to mention it os because the US government is the reason why genocide and ethnic cleansing is being perpetrated by the Israelis. For these to end, the US must end its support of Israel, but that is unlikely as long as the pro-Israel lobby has such a stranglehold on US politics. That stranglehold is strong because it is backed by money - used to buy politicians' subserviance.

UK councils invest £12 billion in companies supporting the
Israeli regime's war crimes and violations of international law
03 Nov 2025
Click here to read a letter (designed by Palestine Solidarity Campaign, PSC) that I signed and submitted on 03 Nov 2025 that calls on MPs to support a campaign promoted by MP, Neil Duncan-Jordan (to change the Pension Scheme Bill) that would direct pension funds to end investments (divest) that violate the UK’s obligations not to aid and assist grave violations of international law.
UK central government and local councils administering a pension fund are already under an obligation to take steps to end pension fund scheme investments in companies involved in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians, so I am not sure why this amendment is needed. Perhaps it goes farther and directs disinvestment.
"Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) funds, administered by local councils, invest more than £12.2 billion in companies enabling Israel’s grave violations of international law. This includes companies manufacturing the bombs and bullets used to kill Palestinians, as well as companies that make the bulldozers used by Israel to demolish Palestinians homes, schools and hospitals across the illegally occupied Palestinian territory." said PSC
Click here to read an article (30 Oct 2025) in the Tribune about the campaign to force councils to divest from Israel because their investments perpetuate the genocide and the ethnic cleanisng of Palestine.
It is disgusting that people choose to invest in an apartheid regime, a genocidal regime and a regime intent on ethnically cleansing Palestine, and so they have to be directed to divest because they do not have the morality and humanity to steer clear themselves from such investments.
See an earlier post below about Ealing Council's pension fund and calling on it to divest.

Inhumane Herzog calls for humanity
How disgustingly hypocritical of Herzog - Head of the Israeli regime that is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing - to call for a show of humanity: “It is now essential to lower the flames, to show humanity and sensitivity.”
This is the Israeli who was photographed proudly writing messages on bombs; he claimed there are no innocent civilians in Gaza, thereby encouraging collective punishment of Palestinians - itself a war crime. This is the shameless person who heads an apartheid state. He is the person whose hand Starmer shook when he visited 10 Downing street in October 2025.
Herzog was speaking in relation to a courageous Israeli, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi (pictured), who exposed abuse of a prisoner by the Israelis in one of their prisons. Her office is responsible for investigating wrongdoing by soldiers.
"both prisoners and Israeli soldiers have detailed mistreatment of detainees" and five Israelis have been charged with abuse. Read the 03 Nov 2025 FT.com article, here.
Not only are Israelis committing genocide and ethnic cleansing, they are also guilty of abusing their prisoners.

Yet another pro-Israel article by FT.com
03 Nov 2025
Instead of calling what is happening in Gaza objectively and accurately (the Israeli regime's genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine), the FT.com in its 03 Nov 2025 article again referred to it as:
"2023 war with Hamas";
"the first nine months of the Israel-Hamas war that started in October 2023,"; later in the piece, it changed its description to: "the war in Gaza.".
The Israeli regime has murdered thousands of women and children, and deliberately starved Palestinian civilians to death. It continues to murder them. Since 10 Oct (when the fake ceasefire began), at least 211 Palestinians have been murdered by the Israelis and more than 500 have been injured, including women and children (link). The FT.com is wrong to describe what is going on as a war "with Hamas". It is a deliberate attack of Palestinian civilians, and ethnic cleansing of Palestine - these are war crimes.
FT.com then added: "Last month, a US-brokered ceasefire took effect in Gaza, raising hopes of an end to the fighting." but it did not mention the Israelis have NOT stopped murdering Palestinians, including children since the fake 10 Oct 2025 "ceasefire". There is no Israeli ceasefire.
EuroMed said "Israel's genocide in Gaza has not ended; it has merely shifted into a quieter, less visible space. By maintaining the siege and allowing intermittent attacks that kill civilians, Israel sustains a gradual process of extermination while the world falsely claims the genocide has stopped." (link)

Israeli lobby puppet, Rubio, denies surgery for maimed Palestinian children
01 Nov 2025
Katie Halper and Aaron Maté discussed (18 Aug 2025 video) the inhumane decision by Rubio to ban Palestinian children from having surgery in the USA, because of unproven claims that either the adults travelling with these children or the organisations that organised their travel and surgery, are associated with, or even friendly with, Hamas. The decision was triggered by a pro-Israel woman called Loomer who took credit for claiming she was the one who triggered the move by Rubio to ban visas to these Palestinians, very soon after she raised the alarm. Taking credit for such an inhumane decision shows she too is lacking in humanity.
The murderous Israeli regime allowed these Palestinians to travel for surgery, so they were vetted and approved by them, so it is despicable that Rubio should ban these children and so deny them surgery.
Read this post by Loomer about her opposition to children coming to the USA for surgery (the post was shown on Halper's video, here at 01 min 15 sec).
The ban is another example of the pro-Israel lobby showing its inhumanity and its hatred for Palestinians, even to the point of denying surgery for Palestinian children who have been maimed by bombs dropped by Israelis - bombs that might have been produced in the US and dropped out of US-made aircraft. It also shows how the US administration are puppets of the Israeli lobby. The puppet whose strings they pulled to effect this ban was Rubio (pictured below). "What a, just a worm" said Sam Seder of Rubio.
Note how the US opposition party guy does not challenge the ban, and justifies it based on the basis of:
'IF TRUE, then the ban is justified, i.e., he has no proof that these people or organisations are associated with Hamas and yet he is supporting the ban.
Listen to the puppet, Rubio justify his inhumane decision by blaming everything on Hamas. He says "We are not going to be in partnership with groups that are friendly with Hamas...or have links or sympathies towards Hamas" Rubio should remember, the Israeli regime funded Hamas.
This video by Kulinski blasts Loomer's Islamophobia and her successful lobbying to ban Palestinian children from entering the US for surgery.
This video by Majority Report shows a video, used by Loomer, of Palestinian children and adults, whom she calls "Islamic invaders", arriving in the US. The Majority Report makes the comparison of American groups - of white people - who disapproved of Jewish children being allowed into the USA (at the time of WWII), with the current ban by the US government on Palestinian children entering the USA. The host made the additional point that today, those children have been maimed, and in some cases, orphaned, by US bombs, so the US's complicity in maiming and orphaning Palestinian children are strong incentives for the USA to allow them entry.
Breaking Points posted a video about the ban and Loomer's hand in it. Note the point they make about the Israelis, backed by the USA, have destroyed hospitals that might have provided the surgery Palestinian children are now travelling to the USA to get. The video also shows a video of a Palestinian boy who lost both legs, and possibly his father.

Debunking Israeli propaganda about 7 Oct 2023
31 Oct 2025:
A book by Ernesto Katzenstein, called: "Hamas Against Israel: The Myths, The Propaganda, The Truth"
The publisher says of the book:
"Ernesto Katzenstein...has undertaken a meticulous research into and analysis of the reporting of what took place and what allegedly took place in Israel on October 7. His analysis and deconstruction of the events shows, with clear source references, that the picture presented in needs to be be modified in many respects."
The book looks at the author's investigation into the events of 7 Oct 2023 and whether the stories are true or Israeli lies. In particular, it raises doubts about who actually killed the Israelis? Was it the Israelis or was it Hamas? It appears to be the Israelis because Hamas did not have the firepower to cause the type destruction inflicted on humans and objects.
No Israeli government investigation has taken place into the events. There was a relatively short (19-page) report by the Israeli army (hardly believeable as it is not independent). A reason cited for this absence is it enables the Israelis to continue with their false narrative about the events of 7 Oct 2023.
Watch this 13 Oct 2025 video in which the author discusses the 7 Oct 2023 events and the propaganda and the lack of independent verification and assessment by western media about Israelis' narrative of 7 Oct 2023.
"Some bodies were so badly burned it will take some time to identify them" a comment by the Israelis that led the author to think these deaths might have been caused by the Israelis. He says the "Hannibal Doctrine" was used against Palestinians, i.e., the policy to kill Palestinians even if it means killing Israelis.
Read this Novara Media 07 Oct 2035 article that describes the Hannibal Doctrine and its use in Gaza.

Collective punishment by the Israelis of innocent men, women, and children of Gaza
On 30 Oct 2025, the Israeli regime murdered more than 100 Palestinians, at least 76 Palestinian civilians including women and children, plus 24 people the regime says were members of Hamas (more on this claim, below).
Another report (link) said of 104 Palestinians murdered by the Israelis on 28 Oct, 46 were children, adding that since 10 Oct (when the ceasefire began), at least 211 Palestinians have been murdered by the Israelis and more than 500 have been injured.
"What is happening in Gaza today is a disgrace to humanity and highlights the international community's complicity through its silence in these violations. The continuation of these crimes amidst the world's silence is an unforgivbaable moral and humanitariabn failure." said Mahmoud Basal (Gaza civil defence spokesperson).
EuroMed said "Israel's genocide in Gaza has not ended; it has merely shifted into a quieter, less visible space. By maintaining the siege and allowing intermittent attacks that kill civilians, Israel sustains a gradual process of extermination while the world falsely claims the genocide has stopped."
Based on the nature of injuries sustained by Palestinians from missile attacks, Israeli missiles are packed with nails and pieces of metal, the report (link) reveals.
In this video on 30 Oct 2025, Mearsheimer rightfully asks: how did IDF know those 24 they killed were Hamas? Hamas has denied it was responsible for shooting at the IDF. Mearsheimer notes that there are Palestinian fighter groups loyal to the Israelis and sponsored by the Israelis. He says it is possible that the shooting at the IDF was orchestrated by the IDF as an excuse for the Israelis to continue their genocide. He adds, Netanyahu is not happy with the ceasefire and that the Israelis' plan from the outset has been ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, which the Israelis turned into a genocide because they were unable to drive Palestinians out of Gaza.
Napolitano talked of "collective punishment" by the Israelis - "we don't know who Hamas are so kill all of them: men women and children". He noted that collective punishment is a war crime, "but it [the war crime] doesn't seem to bother them [the Israelis] at all"
Mearsheimer said what the Israelis are doing is worse than collective punishment, it's genocide: "They're well beyond collective punishment. This is genocide...Their goal is to kill as many Palestinians as possible." The idea that they're going after Hamas and that they're going to great lengths to spare the civilian population, is laughable...On top of turning the place into Hiroshima, they're trying to starve the Palestinians to death in Gaza as well."
Update 03 Nov 2025
Watch this video by Iversen (at 17min:56 sec) in which she exposes the Israelis' breach of the ceasefire and that it is not a ceasefire to the Israelis because they continue to murder Palestinians. Their tactics are so vile, they say, having murdered women and children: "The IDF will continue to uphold the ceasefire agreement and will respond firmly to any violation of it." It is clear to me, that this means whenever the murderous regime intend to murder more Palestinians, the Israelis will say Hamas has violated the ceasefire, the Israelis will then murder Palestinians, then they'll repeat the statement: "The IDF will continue to uphold the ceasefire agreement and will respond firmly to any violation of it."
She asks a key question: How do we end all of this [the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the Israelis]? Her answer is: "We have to gain our sovereignty back...calling for an America first agenda and dropping Israel from that agenda"
Another report (link) said of 104 Palestinians murdered by the Israelis on 28 Oct, 46 were children, adding that since 10 Oct (when the ceasefire began), at least 211 Palestinians have been murdered by the Israelis and more than 500 have been injured.
"What is happening in Gaza today is a disgrace to humanity and highlights the international community's complicity through its silence in these violations. The continuation of these crimes amidst the world's silence is an unforgivbaable moral and humanitariabn failure." said Mahmoud Basal (Gaza civil defence spokesperson).
EuroMed said "Israel's genocide in Gaza has not ended; it has merely shifted into a quieter, less visible space. By maintaining the siege and allowing intermittent attacks that kill civilians, Israel sustains a gradual process of extermination while the world falsely claims the genocide has stopped."
Based on the nature of injuries sustained by Palestinians from missile attacks, Israeli missiles are packed with nails and pieces of metal, the report (link) reveals.

False antisemitism has its consequences
31 Oct 2025
I stumbled across this story today about a student who was viciously mauled by a member of Britain's ruling class, a woman called Foster who goes by the title of Baroness - a lifetime peer.
The press release (link) describes what Foster did and the price she paid for her vile and false claims of antisemitism. The price was financial compensation but the damage done by Foster to the victim and to those who were also hurt by her false remarks, is lasting and perhaps no amount of compensation will erase. It certainly won't erase the hatred towards muslims that Foster's remarks might have spawned in the people who read and believed her remarks, and who are not aware of her subsequent retraction and apology.
As the law firm says: "statements made by a person in a position of power, authority and respect, carry far greater weight and are liable to have a far greater impact than those made by less prominent figures...The very many people who read the Baroness’ post would therefore have believed that our client was antisemitic and guilty of criminally deploying Nazi propaganda."
House of Lords (HoL)
What is also shameful to read is the HoL refused to uphold the victim's complaint to them. Foster has been rightly shamed for her vile and false remarks, yet the HoL sided with her and not the victim who has been vindicated. Like they say, birds of a feather stick together.

Pro-Palestine rally 10 Downing Street, London 30 Oct 2025
Multiple organisations and lots of photographers attended a rally opposite 10 Downing Street at 6pm.
My camera battery expired but I managed to capture some of the atmosphere, placard messages, and the speakers who spoke out on various subjects including the complicity of the UK government and against the genocide of Palestinians.
One speaker said Starmer thinks the slogan "From the rivers to the sea, Palestine will be free" is antisemitic. The speaker and the crowd gave their response to that by chanting it repeatedly and loudly. See my post below on the controversy about this slogan and how it is used as a weapon by the pro-Israeli lobby and its supporters, including Starmer, to attack pro-Palestinian supporters who chant it because they want Palestinians to be given their right of self-determination and to live in peace and on equal terms with Jews.
Part way through, I noticed a lot of noise from people shouting behind the speakers' podium. As I was leaving I looked over and saw Palestinian flags and heard pro-Palestinian chants. I guessed it was another group of vocal supporters of Palestine, however, as I was farther away I heard chanting "Stop bombing Israel" I thought that odd and thought they meant Israel should stop bombing, however, I now think it was coming from pro-Israel protestors who were at the same location.
The event staged by the pro-Palestine groups was peaceful and loud and the crowd chanted and they listened attentively. It was a great atmosphere. It was early evening and with the clocks recently turned back, it was dark but street lighting was abundant and it was a wondeful scene seeing so many people and so many flags in support of Palestinians and I think just opposing the inhumanity of people. There were police present but they stayed on the sidelines. There was also a group of people in sky blue vests, filming the protestors.
Jews were also present with their banner and placard, and one of the speakers said she was a Jew. One of the speakers said the number of Jews at such rallies was increasing, which drew applauds from the crowd.
I had received an email from Stop the War Coalition to volunteer my help on the evening and I accepted. I turned up around 5:30pm and said to someone why I was there. There was more than enough help on hand so I was redundant however I was offered a bunch of placards to carry to another nearby location, and I did so (see image below of placards propped up against the wall).
I did not have my tripod so no self-portrait, however someone asked me to look at him while he took a photo of me holding two of these placards plus a small Palestine flag I had been offered by someone handing them out (see image of the flag below). Not sure why he should be interested in photographing mebut perhaps it was because I was wearing a turban.
Note the poster about Aston Villa that someone with a great command of words had crafted and displayed on the gate opposite Downing Street. In case you don't see the connection, it refers to the football match against an Israeli football club that has "fans" who are racist and violent thugs. Read my posts below about the appalling support given to these thugs by the UK government as a result of its false claim that the decision to ban them from the match was antisemitic.

Trump has been bought by his pro-Israel political donors
"He [Trump] knows exactly what he's dealing with...His [pro-Israel] donors esentially told him what they wanted when they supported him [to become president] and he agreed...The only answer is to cut Israel off; stop funding them and put an end to this mass murder and expulsion not just in Gaza but also in the West Bank...he's not going to do that...and trying to talk to Netanyahu on any other grounds other than pure power is a complete waste of time."

UK citizens who enlisted in the Israeli army have been reported to the police for committing war crimes
29 Oct 2025
In this Zeteo interview (published in Apr 2025), a KC (barrister), Michael Mansfield, discusses a report he and others submitted to the war crimes unit of the Met Police (on behalf of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and the Public Interest Law Centre) stating that 10 UK citizens have committed up to 10 forms of war crimes in Palestine while they were enlisted in the army of the Israeli regime. The crimes include: mass killing, mass destruction, and mass displacement. Watch this Declassified UK video (from April 2025) of the public announcement of the submission of the report to the police.
Mansfield says the UK government could ban UK citizens from enlisting in the Israeli army on the grounds that the Israelis are committing war crimes and because they are illegally occupying Palestine. Successive complicit UK governments have imposed no such bans on UK citizens. He and Hasan note that France and the US have tens of thousands of their citizens fighting in the Israeli army, but Belgium has banned its citizens from doing so.
"We're standing on the brink of the collapse of the rule of order because certain states, and Israel isn't the only one,...to act with impunity...on the basis that nothing is going to happen to them...We have to stand up and be counted on behalf of those who are endeavouring [for their rights and for justice]" said Mansfield.
How incredible it is that the country, England, that was involved in formulating and establishing an international framework of conventions and principles in the aftermath of WWII, should now be abusing and dishonouring those principles - by aiding and abetting the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis. How incredible it is that the descendants of the Holocaust are today committing the war crimes and crimes against humanity that were committed against their ancestors in WWII.
The UK government allows these UK citizens to go and fight for Israel (which has been described as a terrorist state by Ireland's president), then return to the UK after possibly committing war crimes, without any sanction or penalty from the UK government or the police.
On the other hand, the UK government sanctions a UK citizen (Shamima Begum, also this article about her) who joined another group of terrorists and as a result, she had her UK citizenship withdrawn thereby making her stateless (a breach by the UK government of international law). The marked difference in responses by the UK government to its citizens who go and fight for groups overseas shows it has double standards.
Why the double standards? I guess it's because the UK government does not regard Israel as a terrorist state, even though many organisations have concluded it has committed war crimes, and continues to do so, including starving Palestinians to death, murdering them as they seek food, and displacing them from their homes and their land.
Islamic State is, I suspect, labelled a terrorist organisation by the UK government and I guess that label is being used by the UK government to abandon Begum. "Exiling British nationals like Ms Begum is about politics, not the law." said Maya Foa of human rights charity, Reprieve.

The use and abuse of: ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’
29 Oct 2025:
In the complaint by a pro-Israel group, CAA, to Kings College London (see post below, dated 29 Oct 2025), CAA claimed the chant ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ was “antisemitic and genocidal chanting”. I decided to investigate that claim:
There are different opinions on what the slogan means:
CAA, unsurprisingly, claims it is "“antisemitic and genocidal";
This RevDem article says:
"It is often maintained that the slogan ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ expresses a genocidal and antisemitic intention. But this is generally not the case. On the contrary, the slogan has historically been used to articulate a wide variety of political strategies for Palestinian liberation." Its authors add:
"Labelling the slogan antisemitic is a powerful tool used by Israel and its supporters to deny the existence of the Palestinian people and its connection to the land, to entrench Palestine’s occupation, oppression, and elimination by Israel, and to silence its cry for freedom and rights including amidst the plausibly genocidal assault now taking place in Gaza."
The slogan means whatever the person who says it or displays it personally wants to say about it, at that moment in time. There can, therefore, be no single, universally accepted, definition of the slogan.
A palestinian historian gives their opinion here.
Groups in Australia issued a statement in May 2024 condemnig their government's attempt to ban the slogan and its misinterpretation of the slogan. Read their statement and article, here

Kings College London and its suspension of a pro-Palestinian
29 Oct 2025:
I came across a Novara Media article on the suspension of a pro-Palestinian activist student by Kings College London (KCL). The article notes the complaint against him came from a pro-Israel lobby.
The student said: “If I return to Egypt, my family and I will certainly be subject to grievous harm and torture.” He has initiated legal action against KCL for "breaches of his human rights, assault and personal injury, discrimination and harassment", filed for a judicial review, and is being supported by an advocacy group, CAGE International.
CAGE said of KCL: "It is shameful that one of the country’s leading institutions of learning has resorted to indefinitely suspending a student and triggering his potential deportation to a country with a deplorable human rights record. The legal challenge he has launched is crucial to ending such egregious abuses of power.”

Anthony Aguilar
Watch this video of Anthony Aguilar - who worked at GHF in Gaza. He tells of:
The video compares the Sebrenica massacre and identifies similar tactics being used in Gaza - "bait and kill" whereby people are starved and as they desperately come for food, they are shot and murdered.
Ominously, the video refers to the company, Palantir, and AI data collection technology tested in Gaza that is now being deployed in the US.
- the IDF shooting Palestinians as they came for food;
- the boy Amir who came for food and who was murdered;
- the use of razor wire, a war crime.

"He [Netanyahu] behaves like a Nazi...he would have been a very successful Nazi" - Todenhofer
Jürgen Todenhöfer
A video on 24 oct 2025 by Reason2Resist where Lascaris interviewed Jürgen Todenhöfer of Germany, a passionate critic of the Israelis' genocide and other war crimes against Palestinians, and a supporter of rights for Palestinians.
"He [Netanyahu] behaves like a Nazi...he would have been a very successful Nazi...because there is no empathy...Netanyahu is a catstrophe for the whole western world" said Jürgen Todenhöfer "They don't think Palestinians have the same value as Israelis" "I see it as an honour to go to jail for the freedom of speech and for the rights of Palestinians" "To criticise Netanyahu you are immediately treated like antisemitic" He was arrested and charged for "comparing what Netanyahu is doing to Palestinians to what Nazis did to the Jews and that comparison diminishes the gravity of the Holocaust"...[plus he is charged with pushing Germans against the Jews]" He says Israelis tell him "Please raise your voice" These Jews want a different Israel.
"I say in the case of Israel, we don't follow the rule of law any more" in response to the fact that the German judicial system does not even consider the charge that sending of German weapons to Israel is itself a crime. Such military support clearly is a crime.
"standing up for peace and freedom in Palestine is our duty,” he said. “It cannot be that Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, is warmly invited to Germany by the chancellor, while his critics are threatened with prison, house searches, and confiscation.” he said (read the 17 Oct 2025 article, here)
He says the reason why Germany supports Israel is cowardice to powerful Israelis-the lobby and certain zionists. He did not agree with the reason widely cited that Germany supports the Israelis because of a sense of obligation and responsibility for the Holocaust.
He says he understands that Jews sought to gain power in response to what they suffered in the holocaust. He at one time supported their ambition for power, but now he says "the way they use that power is not good" referring to the Israeli lobby and people around the former Israeli ambassador to the US. These Israelis instigate lawsuits to silence and crush people who oppose Israel.
He recalled the words of the Hamas negotiator whom the Israelis tried to murder while in Qatar negotiating a ceasefire or peace plan, but they failed and instead murdered his son: "We have no problem with Jews...we have problems with the occupiers who treat us like animals, under animals, not even as animals."

Israel is a "terrorist state" and a "rogue state"
Catherine Connolly
Irish president Catherine Connolly has shown she has the guts that are lacking in complicit western politicians, to describe the Israeli state as a terrorist state and a rogue state, and for saying it is "out of control".
Israel is a terrorist state and a rogue state for its genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and for its dehumanising of Palestinians. It is also an apartheid state for its subjugation of Palestinians.
Watch her video here (from 2 mins - 7mins). Note how the presenter persists unrelentingly in questioning Connolly about Hamas. The presenter does not discuss Israeli atrocities and crimes and actually shuts Connolly down when she tried to speak of Israel. Watch this clip in which she says "they're [Israel] absolutely out of control".

Australian media is "whitewashing" Israeli crimes and using antisemitism trope to silence criticism
When asked in this 23 Oct 2025 Ette Media interview about how the Australian press culture compares to the US, Hodges said: "They [the Australian press] have used the trope of antisemitism to essentially not just shut down criticism of the genocide and criticism of the apartheid state of israel but it is a way to mute and silence social critics and dissidents."
Hedges exposed the Press Club's lies about his attendance at the National Press Club, a booking they abruptly cancelled, an act wsws.org has described as political censorship - read the wsws.org 23/10/2025 article, here.
WSWS.org gave its opinion on why Hodges was cancelled: "it is highly likely that Zionist lobbyists, the Press Club’s corporate sponsors, the Labor government, or all three were involved." They added that the cancellation: "is part of a broader campaign by the corporate press and the entire political establishment to justify and cover up the monstrous crimes being carried out by the Israeli regime with the full support of world imperialism, including the Australian Labor government."
"the Australian media establishment, with very few exceptions, has spent the past two years whitewashing the imperialist-backed crimes of Israel and is deeply hostile to anyone who dares to oppose or criticise the Zionist regime." wrote Martin Scott at wsws.org 23/10/2025
Hodges notes "it's interesting that figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens... have broken with the Israel lobby...they know which way the wind is blowing...[Americans] are just not buying it anymore" [polls show Americans are turning against the Israelis now they recognise they are committing a genocide ]. He says that is why there is so much effort by the Israelis to control the media, such as Ellison acquiring Tik Tok and installing a zionist (B Weiss).
Bluementhal also noticed the pivot (watch this 27 Oct 2025 podcast at 48min 11 sec) by some online talking heads who were pro-Israel and spreading their lies and prpoganda. It's possible these converts are just fairweather friends of Palestinians - they will pivot again when sentiment changes, i.e., they're not true believers in humanity nor sincere about the plight of the Palestinians. Instead, they'll just follow the popular trend as long as it's profitable to them.

Read this post by Hodges of his speech against attempts to criminalise antisemitism.
Hedges exposed the Press Club's lies about his attendance at the National Press Club, a booking they abruptly cancelled, an act wsws.org has described as political censorship - read the wsws.org 23/10/2025 article, here.
WSWS.org gave its opinion on why Hodges was cancelled: "it is highly likely that Zionist lobbyists, the Press Club’s corporate sponsors, the Labor government, or all three were involved." They added that the cancellation: "is part of a broader campaign by the corporate press and the entire political establishment to justify and cover up the monstrous crimes being carried out by the Israeli regime with the full support of world imperialism, including the Australian Labor government."
"the Australian media establishment, with very few exceptions, has spent the past two years whitewashing the imperialist-backed crimes of Israel and is deeply hostile to anyone who dares to oppose or criticise the Zionist regime." wrote Martin Scott at wsws.org 23/10/2025
Hodges notes "it's interesting that figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens... have broken with the Israel lobby...they know which way the wind is blowing...[Americans] are just not buying it anymore" [polls show Americans are turning against the Israelis now they recognise they are committing a genocide ]. He says that is why there is so much effort by the Israelis to control the media, such as Ellison acquiring Tik Tok and installing a zionist (B Weiss).

"If we were to have Nuremberg 2 trials, both of them [Trump and Netanyahu] would be found guilty and probably hung" - Mearsheimer
Watch this video (21 Oct 2025) of Greenwald interviewing Mearsheimer on the "peace plan" and its practical implementation and why it's not going to happen: because Hamas will not give up its weapons as long as Palestinians are denied their right to self-determination.
The plan envisages a bunch of soldiers (the so-called International Stabilisation Force) from arab states who report to the Board comprised of Trump and Blair, that reports to the US and to Israel, run by Trump and Netanyahu.
The Palestinian Authority is a puppet of the Israelis so though it is comprised of Palestinians, the PA's allegiance is to Israel not to the Palestinian people.
Note the sinister reason for the halt in the genocide, to allow the IDF to regroup and to get the Israeli hostages out. That leaves the path clear for Netanyahu to resume his genocide and ethnic cleansing, and with more force in round two.
"There is no hope for the elites [of the West. They] have proven quite conclusively that they are morally bankrupt"
Mearsheimer answers Greenwald's suggestion that Trump deserves some credit for bringing about a halt to the genocide [which Biden allowed to occur], by saying it was "wonderful that he [Trump] created the ceasefire and hostage exchange" but it does no "absolve him [Trump] of responsibility for the genocide"
A key point made by Mearsheimer and Greewald is Trump is sensitive to public opinion in relation to his role in supporting Israel in its aim of ethnically cleansing Palestine. Mearsheimer emphasises the importance, therefore, of increasing the information to the public across the world of the atrocities committed by the Israelis, in order to pressure Trump into applying pressure on the Israelis to stop their genocide of Palestinians because that genocide is politically damaging to Trump
Mearsheimer however thinks that when push comes to shove, "Netanyahu has Trump wrapped around his little finger.".
Israel is a strategic, and now moral, albatross around the neck of the US administration, yet it continues to give Israel "unconditional support". He mentions the sick and tiredness of US presidents pursuing policies not in the interest of the US because of relentless lobying by the Israeli lobby. He says Trump is showing his exasperation with a public display - when he was giving his speech at the Israeli parliament in front of Adelson.
Mearsheimer makes the point that Israel is not a democracy but an apartheid state because Palestinians inside Israel match the number of Jews and Palestinians are likely to overtake Jews in numbers, so the the Jews maintain superiority not by operating as a democracy but by running an apartheid state. "Israel is an apartheid state" said Mearsheimer.
He says that if Israel became a democracy, the Jewish state would no longer exist, simply because the Palestinians outnumber the Jews. He says the solution the Israelis are pursuing to end the apartheid state of Israel, is ethnic cleansing. "I think most Israelis will not have a problem with executing a genocide...because that solves the apartheid problem" He adds that with the Israeli hostages freed, the Israelis are more likely, not less likely, to start the genocide.
Mearsheimer says there is a deep-seated strain of Jews in Israel who approve of the genocide and the atrocities the Israelis are committing because they feel they are the victims of antisemitism and they have been victims for thousands of years and so they are fighting this victimisation and antisemitism and doing what's best for them, the Jews - and the genocide is their way of fighting victimisation and antisemitism. It allows Israelis and Jews in the US, to support the "heinous policies" of the Israeli regime.
He adds that the resumption of the genocide will further wreck the reputation of the Israelis and "at a certain point that argument [by the Israelis of antisemitism] becomes ridiculous. This isn't antisemitism. What the Israelis are doing in Gaza is absolutely horrific, and those people who oppose it are on the right side." He warns, the Israeli lobby could become even more ruthless in future as the reputation of the Israelis gets damaged even more as it resumes its genocide - and he adds that ruthlessness will be a big negative for American liberal democracy.
Mearsheimer says the Israelis initially thought that a blitz on the Gazans would force them to flee to neighbouring countries (Egypt and Jordan) but that exit was blocked by these countries, so the Israelis have been left with the same problem of what to do with the Palestinans they could not force out? In the meantime, they have been aggressively committing ethnic cleansing and not just in Gaza but also in the West Bank through the violent illegal settlers murdering Palestinians and taking their land.

International Court of Justice tells the Israelis to respect Palestinians' human rights and not to starve them
On 22 Oct 2025, the ICJ issued an opinion obliging the Israelis to allow the UN aid agency (UNRWA) it had banned, to distribute aid to Palestinians, and Israel: “is not to use starvation of the civilian population as a method of warfare.” (ref), i.e., "to respect the prohibition on the use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare", in other words, stop using starving palestinians!
Some of the inhumane actions of the Israelis, cited in the ICJ ruling, include:
"Israel did not allow any aid to reach the Gaza Strip from 2 March until 18 May 2025...Israel has continued to impose substantial restrictions on the entry and distribution of aid and commercial goods into the Gaza Strip...as of the end of August 2025, the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip had become catastrophic, with evidence of famine, mass displacement, extreme levels of deprivation and a continued increase in civilian casualties, including children"
"in March 2024, the WFP warned that “1.1 million people in Gaza half of the population had completely exhausted their food supplies and coping capacities and are struggling with catastrophic hunger . . . and starvation” ...it was reported in May 2025 that the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip were again “facing high levels of acute food insecurity, with half a million people (one in five) facing starvation”
"Israel’s complete blocking of aid into the Gaza Strip from 2 March 2025 led to a further dramatic deterioration of the humanitarian conditions there, as detailed by the periodic reports from OCHA. These reports described, inter alia, “a renewed risk of hunger and malnutrition” "
"According to the United Nations, by July 2025, water delivery was severely restricted, and “96 per cent of households report[ed] moderate to high water insecurity and 90 per cent of key persons within the shelters providing information not[ed] worsened drinking water availability, compared with the ceasefire period” "
"policies and practices [enacted by the Israelis that have restricted the activities of the UN and other organisations] have resulted in the deprivation of the essentials of daily life for the local population in the Gaza Strip. This engages Israel’s obligations to respect, protect and fulfil the human rights of the local population in the Gaza Strip and in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as a whole." in other words, because you deny others the ability to protect Palestinians' rights, you Israelis have an obligation to respect, protect, and fulfil the human rights of all Palestinians.
"Israel’s restrictions on humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip have resulted in the halting of programmes of nutritional supplements for pregnant and breastfeeding women there"
"OCHA has reported that, since the beginning of the implementation of the new system [GHF] and as of the beginning of September 2025, over 2,100 Palestinians have been killed while seeking humanitarian aid at or in the vicinity of the distribution points of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, or along the routes of food convoys"
"Israeli authorities’ claim that UNRWA is infiltrated by Hamas was not substantiated, nor were allegations that UNRWA is not a neutral organisation." (ref).
A 24-page summary is here. The full 71-page opinion is here. A 4-page press release setting out Israel's obligations, is here
What I don't understand is why it took so long to issue this opinion? Why was it not issued as soon as the Israelis banned UNRWA or as soon as it became clear they were denying Palestinians humanitarian aid and using starvation as a weapon?

The complicity of UK governments and the mainstream media in the genocide of Palestinians
Investigative journalist, Peter Oborne, has written a book (Complicit: Britain's role in the destructioon of Gaza) about successive UK governments' complicity in the oppression and genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis. In this Channel 4 video (23 Oct 2025) he discusses that complicity and the pro-Israel bias of the British mainstream media. The image below is a quote of what he said in that interview. A review of his book can be seen here.
Biden will be remembered for his complicity in the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis
Watch this 23 Oct 2025 interview by Democracy Now of Malley (co-author of a book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict). He mentions Biden, a person who will go down in history for his complicity in the genocide - partly because he did not have empathy for Palestinians but did have it, in spades, for the Israelis. Obama and Clinton do not escape criticism for their role in allowing the illegal occupation by Israelis of the West Bank to accelerate.
Malley mentions the US political equation that has applied in successive adminstrations: you always gain by siding with israel and you always lose by criticising Israel. He also mentions the double standards of the US administration. For a review of his book, click here.

UK Palestinian medic fights the Israeli lobby to keep her medical licence
Link to Crowd Justice
To provide financial support to Dr Aladwan (pictured below), click the link to the Crowd Justice website and also read her appeal to keep her medical licence and to figh the Israeli lobby.
I made a small contribution on 22 Oct 2025 and left a message (read below). To read about the attempts to silence UK healthcare workers, and the murders of healthcare workers in Palestine, read this Aug 2025 article.
UK government intervenes to overturn the MPTS decision
Here is another article (22 Oct 2025) describing the appalling persecution by the Campaign Against Antisemitism, the General Medical Council, and the Israeli-backed UK government (Streeting intervened to overturn the MPTS decision), even though she had been cleared by the MPTS. It is also telling that her union, the British Medical Association: " has not even made a statement on Dr. Aladwan’s state sanctioned persecution."
On 20 Oct 2025, she said: "the GMC demands suspension because I refused to ‘moderate’ speech that was already deemed acceptable. This is not about safety. It’s about punishment. They are explicitly seeking what the ‘Israeli’ lobby demanded: my removal from practice for my political views. This is the weaponisation of medical regulation. This is political persecution.” Read the full article (22 Oct 2025) on World Socialist Web Site, here.
Read this 26 Sep 2025 statement by Aladwan's law firm after a request to prevent her from practising her profession was thrown out:
"We are deeply concerned that the GMC chose to investigate Dr Aladwan’s fitness to practise medicine simply because she spoke out against apartheid and injustice in Palestine. It is clear that this process was driven by pressure from pro-Israeli lobby groups, and was part of a wider, unacceptable attempt to suppress pro-Palestinian advocacy. The Tribunal has rightly rejected that attempt.”

Wes Streeting, UK Health Secretary, has been captured by the Israeli lobby because he is attacking and suppressing the right of free speech by UK healthworkers simply because they speak out against the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis.
In the video (Crispin Flintoff Show, 21 Oct 2025), see how pro-Israeli activists tried to shut down the peaceful protest by the pro-Palestinian protestors. These pro-Israel trouble makers were subsequently removed by the police and the protest by the pro-Palestinian group resumed. A further twist involved a healthcare worker being falsely arrested then released eight minutes later by the police. They had mistakenly identified her. Read the following summary by the Crispin Flintoff Show that posted the video of the protest. It includes video of the person sought by the police and her arrest.
"Health Workers Against Censorship held a peaceful protest outside the UK Parliament on 15th October, opposing Health Secretary Wes Streeting’s attempts to interfere with the independence of the General Medical Council. The move followed lobbying from Zionist organisations that have been targeting, doxxing, and threatening health professionals who speak out for Palestine and against Israel’s genocide and occupation. During the protest, Zionist agitators appeared and later left the scene. Soon after, around 15 police officers arrived and seized one of the organisers, Dr Tamara Ali. Following public outcry and a protest against her arrest, police admitted they had detained the wrong person and released her. Footage from the day showed a police officer’s notepad and phone naming another doctor, Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, as the intended target. On the morning of 21st October, Dr Aladwan was arrested at her home — just two days before her second hearing with her professional body. This disturbing sequence of events raises serious concerns about political pressure, policing, and freedom of expression for UK health workers speaking out for Palestine."
Hearing: This Thursday the 23rd October 8:30AM Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) St James's Bldg, 79 Oxford St, Manchester M1 6FQ.
It is disgusting how the UK government is kow towing to the Israeli lobby and in so doing denying people the right to free speech to condemn the genocide and ethnic cleansing by Israelis, and falsely accusing such people of antisemitism.
Update 10 Nov 2025
I tried to find out what happened on the 23 Oct MPTS Tribunal. I managed to come across a statement by the MPTS following that tribunal (link). In essence, it seems to me that the tribunal allowed a re-litigation of the GMC's case against Aladwan, they adjourned the case, and they decided there had not been an abuse of process. That means Aladwan failed to have the case thrown out and will have to go through a re-trial.
I sent an email on 10 Nov 2025 to her firm of solicitors asking why it had not published an update on her case following the 23 Oct tribunal hearing. It's also odd not to find any media update (using my Google search following the 23 Oct hearing). Perhaps Google deliberately filters out news and search results that are critical of Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing, perhaps they were coerced by Trump or the Israeli lobby.

Israeli scum settler clubs an old Palestinian woman repeatedly as she harvests her olives
A truly shocking video released 20 Oct 2025 by Jasper Nathaniel on Breaking Points on 20 Oct 2025 that shows a disgusting Israeli settler club an old woman who'd been harvesting her olives (see image below, taken from his video).
"He knocked her unconscious with the club and then he hit her twice more when she was on the ground..she has brain heamorrhage" said Nathaniel. She was later taken to hospital and we are told she is stable.
He adds "yesterday [when he and others including the old woman were attacked by around 100 settlers] was a message sent by the settlers in coordination with the IDF...that...we will hunt you down and we'll hurt you or we'll kill you and we'll do it on your own land and nobody is spared, not old ladies".
He also adds the US embassy is not lifting a finger to protect Americans who live with the Palestinians. Nathaniel exposes the double standards of the US government. On the one hand they say they withdraw their embassies from host countries where US citizens in that host country are not being protected by the host country, yet it is clear, and admitted, that the Americans in the West Bank are not being protected by the Israelis but the US government does NOT withdraw its embassy from Israel, i.e., it's one rule for countries such as Iran, Venezuela, Syria, and Yemen, but another for the Israelis.
Nathaniel and the presenters of the Majority report expose the disgusting refusal of the US government to help American citizens who are of Palestinian origin yet, as Seder says, they treat American - Jews in the same predicament as American-Palestinians, as icons. Nathaniel mentions two American-Palestinians, one was murdered by the scum Israeli settlers and the other cousin (just sixteen) has been incarcerated in an Israeli prison for eight months and the US government is doing nothing to bring about his release or his return to the US.
"The reason I'm putting so much emphasis on these Palestinian Americans is not because their lives are more important or valuable. It is because when the American government refuses to step in and protect its citizens, to get justice for their murder, to rescue them from torture dungeons, it goes to show the extent of our [the US's] horrific relationship with Israel." said Nathaniel.
Nathaniel says of the IDF who, the day after the horrific attack by scum Israeli settlers, are out mingling with Palestinians as they harvest their olives, and protecting them from violent settlers: "I think they're [the IDF] chastened" said Nathaniel.
Nathaniel says of the existential threat from violent Israeli settlers: "the ongoing deadly violence, land theft: the Israeli government and the US government are deeply complicit in it."
Nathaniel also points out that there is next to no coverage in the media of the violence and land grab by Israeli settlers. He says that media coverage helped end the genocide but notes that even though there was a lull during the halt in the bombing and the genocide in Gaza, "[the] West Bank was as bad as it's ever been in terms of Israeli violence" He predicts "They [Palestinians] are going to get run right off this land if that [the indifference of politicians and the mainstream media to what the Israelis are doing in the West Bank] doesn't change."
Note how these violent scum settlers hide their faces as they violently attack and terrorise Palestinans, just as the IDF, Ku Klux Klan, and the ICE agents do. Notice any common ideology and traits among these groups?
Nathaniel mentioned (see this Majority Report video on 20 Oct 2025 at 46min 51 sec) that Palestinians or their helpers ("activists") do not fight these scum settlers who attack them, because if they do fightback, the scum settlers will return and punish the Palestinians. That reason resonates exactly with what the Nazis did in WWII when the resistance attacked Germans - villagers would be lined up and executed by the Nazis, and in far greater numbers than the number of Germans killed by the resistance.
Nathaniel also refutes a statement given by the IDF (reported by the BBC) that the violent settlers dispersed when the IDF arrived. "The IDF never arrived..they left before it started [the attack] started...they did not show up...over 100 settlers involved in an attack and.. the army doesn't even show up...they never came."
On 20 Oct 2025, I sent the link of the video to: DDN, Novara, Declassified, Zeteo, and TYT so they may publish a story of it (as The Majority Report and Breaking Points have already done). As at 23 Nov 25, no one has replied.
Update 23 Nov 2025
The Israeli scumbag who clubbed the elderly woman (see him in he image below), is called Ariel Dahari, in his twenties. The woman is a grandmother called Um Saleh. The attack in Turmus’ayya. This was reported in an article on 16 Nov 2025 by Nathaniel (link). US ambassador to Israel, Huckabee, dismissed the horrific attack "as nothing more than “an attempt to make the Jews look bad.” " wrote Nathaniel.
Dahari has been arrested but it is not certain he's going to jail. Why? Because the Israeli regime supports and encourages these settlers' terrorism.
"The ethnic cleansing of the West Bank is—and always has been—a state-backed project...the violent settlers function as the spearhead of official policy." said Nathaniel, adding
"The Israeli government has spent the past three years aligning itself structurally and ideologically with the settlement movement—transferring West Bank governance from the military to civilian ideologues, fast-tracking outpost legalizations, pouring billions into settler roads and housing, dismantling nearly every bureaucratic brake that once slowed expansion, and even arming the most notoriously violent settlers."
"Smotrich has spent the past two years fast-tracking the retroactive legalization of dozens of illegal outposts and expanding existing settlements to absorb the surrounding “neighborhoods” settlers built without approval."
Nathaniel adds:
"The officials now condemning settler violence are, quite literally, the very same ones celebrating its architects—and supplying the scaffolding that lets them keep building." This hypocrisy is reinforced by the fact, revealed by Nathaniel, that Smotrich and Ben Gvir engaged in "freelance violence" and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank as "fringe provocateurs" before they morphed into Israeli government ministers.
The Israeli terror state has devised a cunning tax-break that ensures perpetual encroachment of illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land: each time settlers encroach on new Palestinian land, they are deemed to be in "danger" from Palestinians, and that "danger" means they receive a tax-break. It is another illustration of the disgusting twisting of reality by the Israelis: the Palestinians are violently attackjedf by Israelis yet the Israelis get tax-breaks for saying they are in danger from Palestinians.
"He knocked her unconscious with the club and then he hit her twice more when she was on the ground..she has brain heamorrhage" said Nathaniel. She was later taken to hospital and we are told she is stable.
He adds "yesterday [when he and others including the old woman were attacked by around 100 settlers] was a message sent by the settlers in coordination with the IDF...that...we will hunt you down and we'll hurt you or we'll kill you and we'll do it on your own land and nobody is spared, not old ladies".
He also adds the US embassy is not lifting a finger to protect Americans who live with the Palestinians. Nathaniel exposes the double standards of the US government. On the one hand they say they withdraw their embassies from host countries where US citizens in that host country are not being protected by the host country, yet it is clear, and admitted, that the Americans in the West Bank are not being protected by the Israelis but the US government does NOT withdraw its embassy from Israel, i.e., it's one rule for countries such as Iran, Venezuela, Syria, and Yemen, but another for the Israelis.
Nathaniel and the presenters of the Majority report expose the disgusting refusal of the US government to help American citizens who are of Palestinian origin yet, as Seder says, they treat American - Jews in the same predicament as American-Palestinians, as icons. Nathaniel mentions two American-Palestinians, one was murdered by the scum Israeli settlers and the other cousin (just sixteen) has been incarcerated in an Israeli prison for eight months and the US government is doing nothing to bring about his release or his return to the US.
"The reason I'm putting so much emphasis on these Palestinian Americans is not because their lives are more important or valuable. It is because when the American government refuses to step in and protect its citizens, to get justice for their murder, to rescue them from torture dungeons, it goes to show the extent of our [the US's] horrific relationship with Israel." said Nathaniel.
Nathaniel says of the IDF who, the day after the horrific attack by scum Israeli settlers, are out mingling with Palestinians as they harvest their olives, and protecting them from violent settlers: "I think they're [the IDF] chastened" said Nathaniel.
Nathaniel says of the existential threat from violent Israeli settlers: "the ongoing deadly violence, land theft: the Israeli government and the US government are deeply complicit in it."
Nathaniel also points out that there is next to no coverage in the media of the violence and land grab by Israeli settlers. He says that media coverage helped end the genocide but notes that even though there was a lull during the halt in the bombing and the genocide in Gaza, "[the] West Bank was as bad as it's ever been in terms of Israeli violence" He predicts "They [Palestinians] are going to get run right off this land if that [the indifference of politicians and the mainstream media to what the Israelis are doing in the West Bank] doesn't change."
Note how these violent scum settlers hide their faces as they violently attack and terrorise Palestinans, just as the IDF, Ku Klux Klan, and the ICE agents do. Notice any common ideology and traits among these groups?
Nathaniel mentioned (see this Majority Report video on 20 Oct 2025 at 46min 51 sec) that Palestinians or their helpers ("activists") do not fight these scum settlers who attack them, because if they do fightback, the scum settlers will return and punish the Palestinians. That reason resonates exactly with what the Nazis did in WWII when the resistance attacked Germans - villagers would be lined up and executed by the Nazis, and in far greater numbers than the number of Germans killed by the resistance.
Nathaniel also refutes a statement given by the IDF (reported by the BBC) that the violent settlers dispersed when the IDF arrived. "The IDF never arrived..they left before it started [the attack] started...they did not show up...over 100 settlers involved in an attack and.. the army doesn't even show up...they never came."
On 20 Oct 2025, I sent the link of the video to: DDN, Novara, Declassified, Zeteo, and TYT so they may publish a story of it (as The Majority Report and Breaking Points have already done). As at 23 Nov 25, no one has replied.
Update 23 Nov 2025
The Israeli scumbag who clubbed the elderly woman (see him in he image below), is called Ariel Dahari, in his twenties. The woman is a grandmother called Um Saleh. The attack in Turmus’ayya. This was reported in an article on 16 Nov 2025 by Nathaniel (link). US ambassador to Israel, Huckabee, dismissed the horrific attack "as nothing more than “an attempt to make the Jews look bad.” " wrote Nathaniel.
Dahari has been arrested but it is not certain he's going to jail. Why? Because the Israeli regime supports and encourages these settlers' terrorism.
"The ethnic cleansing of the West Bank is—and always has been—a state-backed project...the violent settlers function as the spearhead of official policy." said Nathaniel, adding
"The Israeli government has spent the past three years aligning itself structurally and ideologically with the settlement movement—transferring West Bank governance from the military to civilian ideologues, fast-tracking outpost legalizations, pouring billions into settler roads and housing, dismantling nearly every bureaucratic brake that once slowed expansion, and even arming the most notoriously violent settlers."
"Smotrich has spent the past two years fast-tracking the retroactive legalization of dozens of illegal outposts and expanding existing settlements to absorb the surrounding “neighborhoods” settlers built without approval."
Nathaniel adds:
"The officials now condemning settler violence are, quite literally, the very same ones celebrating its architects—and supplying the scaffolding that lets them keep building." This hypocrisy is reinforced by the fact, revealed by Nathaniel, that Smotrich and Ben Gvir engaged in "freelance violence" and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank as "fringe provocateurs" before they morphed into Israeli government ministers.

Israelis are rounding up and imprisoning innocent Palestinians
Israelis are rounding up and imprisoning innocent Palestinians thereby replacing the imprisoned Palestinians that were released in exchange for Israelis.
Democracy Now reported (20 Oct 2025) that around 9000 Palestinians are still being held without trial and without being coinvicted by Israelis. They are being held on a charge of "dangerousness" based on secret evidence that neither the prisoners nor their lawyers may challenge.
These Palestinans are being denied access to their families; independent humanitarian observers, who can check whether prison conditions are humane, are being denied access. Prisoners' food rations have been reduced, and they are being subjected to serious abuse.
"There have been persistent credible and systematic reports of rape, starvation, and torture [of Palestinians by the Israelis]....Dozens have died in detention. There has been no accountability; no investigations." said former Human Rights watch director, Sari Bashi. Some of the Palestinian prisoners who were released were released directly to hospital.
It seems to me the Israelis are incarcerating Palestinians to ethnically cleanse the West Bank of Palestinians and to make way for further illegal occupation of Palestinian land by Israeli settlers. The imprisonment without charge confirms the Israelis' are continuing their strategy of ethnic cleansing, and regardless of Trump's "peace plan".

Israelis have murdered 97 Palestinians and injured over 200 since their 10 Oct 2025 fake "ceasefire"
Watch this Democracy Now 20 Oct 2025 news report (3 min 23 sec).
Israelis continue their murder and bombing of Palestinian civilians - at least 97 Palestinians murdered since 10 Oct "ceasefire" including women and children, and over 200 have been injured. Consistent with their disregard for humanity, the Israelis withheld aid to Palestinians (which might have been resumed, and possibly in response to US pressure). To illustrate their cold-blooded disregard for innocent lives, the Israelis murdered around 40 Palestinians in response to the deaths of two Israeli soldiers who might have died because they rode over an unexploded bomb.
Also consistent with the Israelis' campaign to shut down any media reports that show the world the atrocities they are committing, they bombed a news station, murdering Palestinian civilians including a child.

Banning racist Israeli football thugs is not antisemitic
Update 14 Nov 2025
Watch this 11 Nov 2025 Novara Media video in which Nandy, like a programmed pro-Israeli robot continues to say the ban was antisemitic, even when the evidence is clear it was not antisemitic.
See the image opposite of the report saying why the ban was imposed: because of the hooliganism of these fans. Nandy said she has read that report, which makes her stubborness even more pathetic and incredible.

Update 07 Nov 2025
This Novara Media (NM) video on 07 Nov 2025, describes the crowds who attended the match. Macabi fans and thugs were absent, as expected, but pro-Palestinian supporters were there including their call to get Israeli clubs out of football. A very interesting observation of this report by NM was the fact that Israeli clubs that play on illegally occupied Palestine land have not been expelled by FIFA or EUFA, so they are not applying their rules to these Israeli clubs, i.e., double standards at play. The video also lambasted Starmer and Nandy especially, for their awful tactic of branding the ban antisemitic and for interfering and very brazenly, in a decision they should have stayed out of.
NM's host said "This whole... shocking saga in which government ministers [including Starmer]...tried to frame the police, the local community as antisemitic appears to have involved...what I would call lies from our leaders" "A British government is defending violent foreign football hooligans over people in this country and even insinuating that a domestic police force...is antisemitic." said Bastani of NM "The first job of government is to protect its citzens, except it seems when it comes to Israel. When it comes to Israel, you have to stand up for Israeli citizens at the expense, potentially, of our own citizens" said the NM host.
Update 20 Oct 2025:
FT.com reported the Israeli football club (Macabi) has decided not to provide tickets for its supporters to attend the match with Aston Villa, fans that include racist and violent thugs. The club admitted "We have . . . been working tirelessly to stamp out racism within the more extreme elements of our fan base,” yet it also defended its fans, and it implied there were ulterior reasons for banning its fans, but it did not say what they were (see their statement below). It's messages are inconsistent and contradictory
The FT article mentioned Macabi's derby match this weekend had been cancelled by local police because of “serious public disturbance and violence”. (see the Novara Media video for the violence at that match).
This cancellation adds weight to the decision not to allow these violent and racist thugs to spread their violence and hatred in Birmingham. They and their kind (meaning violent, racists thugs who masquerade as football fans) should stay away from football events.
On 21 Oct 2025, Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC) called for a ban of Israeli football:"While it seems now that the Maccabi fans won't be attending the game, the government narrative in the run up to this has been grotesque. Government ministers have pushed for Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, with a proven track record of racist violence, to be allowed at the match, even outrageously suggesting that preventing these fans from attending would be a capitulation to antisemitism.
They have ignored and whitewashed Maccabi Tel Aviv fans long history of racism because to properly understand this racism, it must be recognised not as an aberration, but as a nasty byproduct of Israel’s racist apartheid system over the Palestinian people – a system that our political class continues to support.
Israel’s system of racism dehumanises Palestinians to such an extent that they have been subjected to two years of horrific genocide in Gaza, along with decades of ethnic cleansing and military assaults across the rest of Palestine.
The failure to see or name Israeli apartheid is a shameful indictment of the anti-Palestinian racism that infects many of our political leaders, and much of the mainstream media.
But we know that ordinary people in Britain stand with Palestinians. They know that matches with teams from apartheid Israel must not go ahead.
Sign our new petition to the FA and UEFA to demand that they take action to cancel the match."

This Novara Media video on 21 Oct 2025 discusses the appalling twisting by UK politicians of the reason for banning racist and violent thugs. These politicians ignore the proven violence of these thugs and instead twist it as evidence of antisemitism. It is not, the fact these thugs are Israeli is irrelevant and a coincidence that has no bearing on the decision to ban these thugs.
This 21 Oct 2025 article by Peter Oborne condemns Starmer and the UK Labour government for its efforts to reverse the ban and allow these violent thugs to attend the match, even if it means spending taxpayers' money to get them to the match. The article has a link to a 2021 Daily Mail article with an image of Starmer at a Palestine Solidarity Campaign meeting in 2015 standing in front of a banner about Israeli racism in football (see image below). The article also cites an appalling racist comment by a Mike Graham, who said of the MP who petitioned for the ban, Ayoub Khan: "I'm ashamed of the police in Birmingham. These people have no business in our country. And this bloke, Ayoub Khan, whoever he is, should go back to Pakistan."
20 Oct 2025
Watch this video (20 Oct 2025) of a debate in Parliament about the UK government's attempt to overturn the ban of these violent and racist thugs attending the match at Aston Villa. Multiple MPs opposed the government's attempt to overturn the ban. The UK government is aware that these "fans" are guilty of violence and racism, but it gives that fact scant recognistion and adds the violent element are a small number. The government instead claims the ban discriminates against Jews. One MP said Jews were speaking out against these violent and racist thugs attending the match, so the ban cannot be antisemitic when Jews themselves oppose these thugs.
17 Oct 2025
Watch this Novara Media video (17 Oct 2025) in which Starmer and so many other UK political leaders, even Farage, are condemning the decision to ban violent and racist Israeli thugs from attending a match at Aston Villa. On the face of it, their condemnation sounds irrational - they should be supporting a decision that protects UK citizens and maintaining law and order. Why are they instead opposing the ban?
Their condemnation is in contrast to the wishes of people polled. Far more of those polled support the ban than those who oppose the ban. This shows the government and politicians generally, are not in alignment with the feelings of the majority of those polled.
Note Israelis as a group of people, have not been banned, only those Israelis who are known to be violent and spread hate speech.
Note how Starmer in his statement (see image below) twists the argument round and talks of protecting these Israelis, when the ban is the opposite - it's about protecting fans and ordinary people of Birmingham (some of whom might also be Jews) or elsewhere in the country, from these violent and racist Israeli thugs who are intent on causing violence and spreading hatred-just as they did in Amsterdam.
Note how Badenoch (FT.com article, 17 Oct 2025) also, shamefully, twists the argument and talks of no-go areas for Jews. Jews may travel and watch the football game, but not violent, racists Jews intent on causing trouble. She cunningly and maliciously extrapolates the ban to include all Jews when it is not true. The ban is on a specific group of violent supporters who, coincidentally, might be Jews.
Note the statement from the UK Home Office. It completely ignores the risks of violence by these foreigners - the reason why the ban is in force. Instead, the Home Office twists the argument to claiming the ban is a ban that restricts the movement of Jews. That is not the reason for the ban-the ban is to protect people from these violent foreign thugs, some of whom might be, coincidentally, Jews.
UK government culture secretary, Nandy, also chose to twist the reason for the ban by claiming it an attack on Jews: "the original ban on Maccabi supporters "chooses the exclusion" of Jewish people." (ref)
Instead of caring about protecting its citizens, Starmer and all the other political leaders who kow tow to the Israeli lobby, are out in force condemning the police and claiming that the ban is antisemitic. It's not antisemitic, because it is to protect citizens from violent and racist thugs. The fact that they are Israelis, is irrelevant but of course that fact is not irrelevant to those captured by the Israelis who use their Jewishness as a political weapon.
So often, the pro-Israeli lobby and its supporters, use antisemitism as a weapon against those who are justifiably critical of Israel - it is committing a genociode of Palestinians. The politicians have done the same with this ban, and they refuse to accept the real risk of violence posed by these racist thugs.
Starmer said: “We will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets” He did not mention he would not tolerate antimuslim or anti-Palestinian behaviour on our streets. He has therefore chosen to ignore the violent and racist behaviour of these Israeli thugs and use the false accusation of antisemitism as a lever to get his way and the way of the pro-Israeli lobby.
If these racist Israeli thugs had instead been decent peaceful football fans, then they would have been welcomed to the match.
There are many examples of people being banned from attending matches for safety reasons, and this ban is no different, but UK politicians and the Israeli lobby are using the ban to spread false claims of antisemitism.
The Novara Media shows scenes of these "fans" chanting obscenities and racist chants and tearing up the Palestinian flag. They also joked about dead Gazan children.
It would not surprise me if the lobby and political pressure on the police and others concerned about safety and who want to maintain law and order, are put under so much pressure that they lift the ban and allow these racist thugs to run riot. This pressure has been applied: Foster, from the police, has called on the group that recommended the ban to undertake an "urgent review". The police have warned "of the dangers of making a safety decision about the game for political reasons.", i.e., they are warning the politicians and those who pull their strings, that they are putting politics before public safety.
The 17 Oct 2025 statement by UKFPU (part of the police) included the following:
"It is important that we respect and support the structures in place for making these decisions [the ban]. If there are any adverse incidents, then they [the organisations responsible for recommending bans] are the ones that will be held responsible. The UKFPU...has suggested that if the government want a role in regulating football events that could be termed ‘events of national significance’, then they need to bring forward legislation to formalise this to ensure accountability sits with decision-makers.” Read the full statement, here.
In other words, if the politicians want to decide on football events, then they, the politicians, must be held accountable by legislation and they must not be allowed to blame the police or other bodies that are currently responsible for football events.
What is not being discussed is why Israel is allowed to participate in sport at all, given it is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing? Instead the media is talking about some thugs being banned from the match. The silence over the more important question confirms the media and the politicians have been captured by the Isralei lobby.
Novara Media points out that Israeli is given exceptional treatment by the UK government - that is because these politicians have been bought and so they will say and do what the pro-Israel lobby says, even where that goes against the wishes of UK citizens or where the action puts them in danger.

Genocidal Israelis can be stopped using the same method to end apartheid in South Africa
Israeli journalist, Gideon Levy, says, in this 17 Oct 2025 Frontline interview (click here), that Israelis' are brainwashed and they are unanimously intent on ethnically cleansing Palestine.
Even if Netanyahu is no more, he says all Israeli political parties have the same intent: "they all support the war; they all support the genocide; they all support the ethnic cleansing; they all support apartheid; none of them supported the Europeans' recognition of the Palestinian state."
He says the way to stop the Israelis is to do what was done to end apartheid in South Africa - economic sanctions and boycotts that inflict real pain. He says the European calls for a Palestinian state is just lip service and said to appease the conscience of the EU leaders, but the calls have no beneficial and tangible effect on Palestinians.
He says the Israeli media has brainwashed the Israeli population by claiming the stories coming out of Gaza are fake, so Israelis are being brainwashed, plus the Israelis don't want to know the truth - they are in a state of denial.
He says to Israelis, occupation of Palestine is normal, to deny rights for Palestinians, is normal, to the Israelis.
He says, 07 Oct 2023 has made Israelis feel they are the victims and 07 Oct 2023 has legitimised their crimes.
"Israel will never recognise a real viable Palestinian state" he says
He says Israel won't compromise over the remaining fraction (25%-Gaza and the West Bank) they have not taken from the Palestinans. He notes there are 700,000 Israeli illegal settlers and questions how these "very violent people" will be removed?
He talks of being surrounded by Israelis returning from committing crimes in Gaza.
He says Israelis are afraid to go abroad either because they are afraid or because they are ashamed.
He says Israelis support Netanyahu because they are brainwashed and so they do not act rationally, and because Israelis have an urge to punish Gaza for 07 Oct 2023.
Who is accountable in Israel? "All the Israelis", he says. "We [Israelis] all carry a very very deep and long responsibility, because it didn't start on the 7th of October, our crimes."

Even if Netanyahu is no more, he says all Israeli political parties have the same intent: "they all support the war; they all support the genocide; they all support the ethnic cleansing; they all support apartheid; none of them supported the Europeans' recognition of the Palestinian state."

UK government fails to block a judicial review of its proscription of Palestine Action
“This is a landmark victory—not only against one of the most extreme attacks on civil liberties in recent British history, but for the fundamental principle that government ministers can and must be held accountable when they act unlawfully,” said Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori - she appealed for a judicial review after the group was banned in July 2025.
Yvette Cooper tried to push the review to the Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission (POAC), instead of a judicial review. The cunning reason for using POAC is because: "if de-proscription was ruled at the POAC, parliament would still have been able to overturn the decision [to de-proscribe]. And it would take much longer to overturn those charged with terror offences." Read the 17 Oct 2025 article, here

Genocide denier, Megyn Kelly, "we use the word, genocide; I don't believe that."
Kelly also said: "I've been very pro-Israel and I've been very defensive of their right to defend themselves"
She says in response to the images of starving and injured Palestinian children, and the absence of comparable images of children that are not seen in the Ukraine-Russia war: "Isn't that because of the Palestinians and their amazing propaganda...they make sure that we see this, which is another reason to be suspicious of it." Watch the Breaking Points video, here (21 Aug 2025)
Watch this short clip (29 July 2025), where she shows her anti-Palestinian bias:
"I'm always reluctant to put too much stock in the images coming out of Gaza...because they're manipulated and they're masters of propaganda and they're fine having their own children starve just as long as they can put them on camera and show them off to the world. That, that's Hamas and frankly it's a lot of Palestinians so I'm very sceptical of taking those images at face value and saying it's Israel's fault."
The poster of the video clip had this to say about Kelly: "She’s always been a despicable racist. No surprised she’s also a scumbag Zionist..."

Pakistan military regime murders pro-Palestine marchers
Imagine the barbarity of the Pakistani regime taking place in London, England - protestors being laughtered as they march in support of the Palestinians. That is what happened in Pakistan and the world is unaware, except Breaking Points reported it (see the video here).
The death count could be over 1000 Pakistanis. BP explains how the Pakistani regime is a poodle of Trump and is doing his bidding and if it does not, Trump could insist on Imran Khan being released.
It appears the massacre was pre-meditated by the regime to let citizens know that protests (pro-Palestinian protests) will not be allowed. The violent crackdown mimics the violent crackdown in 2024 when protestors marched in support of Imran Khan. The protestors were organised by TLP - a violent far-right organisation in Pakistan.

BRICS continue to trade with Israel as it commits genocide of Palestinians
"the BRICS countries are not taking any concrete measures as a group to effectively prevent the continuation of the massacres and genocide." Eric Toussaint (07 Aug 2025)
In their Jul 2025 statement (read it here, the BRICS did not use the terms "genocide" or "ethnic cleansing". It is especially disgusting to learn that these BRICS refuse to confirm the genocide - the genocide has been admitted by many reputable organisations and it is a fact that cannot be denied.
The BRICS did acknowledge the Israelis' "obstruction of the entry of humanitarian aid into the territory.". They also noted "the use of starvation as a method of warfare" but did not state that the Israelis were guilty of this crime (para 24).
It is disgusting to learn these BRICS have not sanctioned Israel and they continue to trade with it.
For an excellent analysis of the complicity and silence of the BRICS in the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis, go to this Q&A list compiled in Aug 2025 by Eric Toussaint.

Clubs that play football matches with Israeli teams should be ashamed for supporting genocide by the Israelis
It is disgusting to see European football associations and clubs are hosting and playing football with Israelis.
Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) exposed the shameful cooperation of one of the English football clubs, Aston Villa FC, with the Israelis. I agreed to sign the PSC's letter to UEFA and to the UK football association, the FA and submitted it today (15 Oct 2025) - read it here.
I decided to also write directly to Aston Villa FC (see my email I sent, here) to say that if they host the Israelis it would be shameful and I called on them to reject the Israelis.
Thousands demonstrated in Italy (watch the video here) to protest against the Italy v Israel world cup qualifier. It is disgustijng that sports organisers and governing bodies allow a country to participate in sport knowing full well the Israelis are committing genocide of Palestinians. These sporting organisations and bodies are guilty of double standards: they ban Russia because of its invasion of Ukraine, but they allow the Israelis to participate even as the Israelis commit genocide of Palestinians.

The warped justifications used by supporters of the genocide by Israelis of Palestinians
One of the most disgusting aspect of this genocide is how people who consider themselves superior and members of civil society, have not spoken out against the genocide perpetrated by the Israelis against Palestinians OR, worse, they have been complicit in it with their financial, military, and diplomatic aid given to the Israelis to enable them to commit genocide. Key among these have been the UK, US, and the EU countries.
Another disgusting observation is the reasons given by genocide enablers and Israelis for not speaking out against or condemning the Israelis for perpetrating genocide of Palestinians.
To me and perhaps any other outsider looking at this genocide who is not a Jew, not a Palestinian, and is not a westerner, these reasons are irrational. They are reasons that would not be given by a person who is impartial, who has not been brainwashed, and a person who applies basic principles of human rights that apply to all human beings regardless of their race, religion, or culture.
Listen to this 14 Oct 2025 video by Double Down News in which a Jew (Mark Etkind - pictured - a son of a holocaust survivor) who gives some of the reasons that genocide supporters cite to justify their support for Israel even as it commits genocide: "The Jewish community has tied itself to defending and supporting Israel, to such an extent that no matter how badly Israel behaves, we have to keep defending what is happening...One of the reasons for this is [the 1940s holocaust] They [Jews] go into a kind of denial [about the crimes being committed by Israel]: that well it's impossible, we couldn't commit any kind of crime, we're sort of beyond that, and of course they can then use the holocaust and the appalling tragedy of what happened back in the 1940s to say "you can't criticise us, we've suffered so much." "
I fail to see the logic or any sense of decency and humanity in the above justification for defending genocide being perpetrated by Israelis. Any humane person, whether they have experienced a holocaust or not, will condemn anyone who commits genocide. There is no exception to Jews because they experienced a holocaust. That line of reasoning is inhumane. It is also pathetic because these people did not experience the holocaust, their ancestors did.
He says that Israel is a western colonial project that has gone from bad to worse and it needs to be radically reformed...[in order to save arabs and jews]"
Another justification for supporting genocide by Israelis of Palestinians is to say "Because we [jews] suffered so terribly, nothing can compare to our suffering and therefore you shouldn't have empathy for other people, and very tragically, that is the argument used in our media and by our politicians today: that because jews suffered so terribly in WWII, somehow the Israeli state which dishonestly claims to represent all jews should be allowed to do what it likes. That to me is a completely obscene thing to argue. It is an insult to the memory of the holocaust...to use that suffering to...excuse or justify further genocide...is an absolute tragic insult to the suffering of the holocaust."
Initially, after WWII ended, there was a reluctance to talk about the holocaust, but that has all changed and it is openly discussed and there are museums about it and a lot of media attention to it. This exposure was supposedf to be a good thing, to prevent a holocaust being repeated: "never again" said the motto.
The memory and events of the holocaust have been used as a weapon by the media and politicians, including Netanyahu. "The memorialisation of the holocaust by governments and by politicians and by sections of the media is not to say this was a terrible thing and should never happen again, to anyone. Rather, it is to say it is a terrible thing that happened, mostly to jews, and therefore we should support Israel and therefore we should never criticise Israel no matter what it does. This has led to a situation where people are hesitant to criticise Israel in the way it is committing genocide in Gaza today and that is an absolute obscenity and complete misuse of the memory of the holocaust...Any genocide which is happening has to be opposed actively. There is never an excuse for genocide."
He descibes how jews were forced into what became ghettos, denied medical care, food, clean water, conditions that led to deaths. He sees the parallels of those times - what the Germans did to the Jews with what is happening today - what the jews are doing to Palestinians. "[It's] uncannily similar" he says.
"Whatever happens to Trump's peace plan, it looks like the people of Gaza are going to be left there to rot in hellish conditions without shelter, without decent healthcare, without enough food, and probably still being bombed...in other words in similar conditions to what my father survived in the...ghetto."
"It's terrifying that in this day and age, genocidal, Nazi-like policies are being implemented by a western ally."
"We [jews] go out to prove to everyone...that these protests are not antisemitic."
"I [and nor have the hundreds of other jewish people who have been on these demonstrations] have not experienced one iota of antisemitism on any of the dozens of demonstrations I have been on...and this is why the right wing media [and] politicians had to invent lie after lie, story after story, about how we are antisemitic."
"It sickens me that politicians and journalists have no shame and will use jewish fears, jewish suffering, misuse antisemitism in this way-weaponise it in this way in order to desperately try to defend their disgusting policy of supporting Israel of killing, I'll say it again, 200,000 people, it could be many more."
He notes that the Daily Mail is well-known for supporting fascists (Mosley) and it now claims the moral high ground in criticising a Palestinian movement, which is staunchly anti-racist, as being racist.
I've been on many marches in support of Palestinians and I've seen holocaust survivors or their descendants of them, at some of them, and perhaps (unknowingly, Mark Etkind).
History willl look well on him and his contribution to the Palestinian cause and to the memory of the holocaust surviors.
Watch this 27 Oct 2025 interview where Jeffrey Sachs, a Jew, speaks out against the UK, US, and Israeli governments, and the EU, for equating criticism of Israel as antisemitism.

The Jew who called for 50 Palestinian deaths for every Israeli death
An Aug 2025 article revealed that Israeli chief of military intelligence, Aharon Haliva, said:
"for 1 person on 7 October, 50 Palestinians have to die. Never mind now [if they are] children...They need a Nakba [a catastrophe] from time to time to feel the price."
Read the article here - it includes a brief video link where you can hear Halva uttering his barbaric and genocidal words.

Palestinian death toll could be at least 500,000
Susan Abulhawa in this 13 Oct 2025 video (at 13 mins), reckons the death toll because of the Israeli regime's atrocities, is at least 500,000 because the 'official' number excludes many deaths (including those without ID; those who did not pass through a hospital and so were not recorded on its system (they were, for example buried by relatives); those who were not killed directly by the regime - they for example were shot by the regime but they died from the subsequent infection not the bullet; the many dead and still buried under rubble; the people who died from malnutrition or infection. She laments the fact that the media is fixated on 60,000 - a figure she believes is vastly understated.
Independent media is not independent when it's funded with dark money
US Democrat-leaning influencers have been exposed in investigative journalism by Taylor Lorenz (read it here) as taking money from unnamed donors (so-called, dark money) in return for limiting what they can and cannot say, i.e., they have been bought by the dark money donors.
That restriction on their independence, in return for money, MIGHT explain why some influencers have been silent on the atrocities perpetrated on Palestinans by the Israelis-they have been told not to discuss it.
Their silence might just be because these people are pro-Israel or anti-Palestine. Pakman - one of the bought influencers with millions of followers - was actively supporting Israel after 7 Oct 2023, so his sympathies are obvious. Brian Tyler Cohen - a co-founder of the company (Chorus) fronting the dark money, is quiet on the genocide.
One of the comments to the Breaking Points (BP) video (published about mid-Sep 2025) about Lorenz's revelation, said:
"David Pakman and Brian Tyler Cohen are done. People were beginning to wonder about their silence on Palestine/Gaza, but now we know why, and it's far worse than imagined."
Another commentor said: "Out of curiosity, I just checked Brian Tyler Cohen and David Pakman’s recent videos. Went back 2 weeks. Not one video about Israel/Gaza conflict."
If you look at their body of work [of those influencers who've been bought by Chorus] it has been noticeably less, less, on Gaza, than among people who are, you know, much more independent" said Krystal Ball (BP co-host)

Evil Israeli soldier's "humanitarian aid" is a bomb
Kulinski reported in a video on 14 Oct 2025 that an evil Israeli soldier inscribed his bomb as "Humanitarian Aid". Click on the images below to read his sick inscription:
Disgusting Israelis continue to destroy what little is left of Gaza for returning Palestinians, and withhold aid.
Kulinski reported in a video on 14 Oct 2025 that Israeli soldiers have destroyed more of Gaza's infrastructure making it even less habitable for returning Palestinians (see image)
The inhumane Israeli regime have claimed delays by Hamas in releasing dead Israeli hostages, and have used that as justification for denying essential aid to Palestinians.
No decent person would deny food and aid to innocent people for the actions, which are accusations and not proven, of Hamas. The actions by the regime appear to be yet another end to peace by the regime, and as usual, they blame Hamas for their violence.
Kulinski also reports that the regime is paying Isis-affiliated mercenaries to attack Hamas and create civil war while the Israelis watch from the sidelines (they paid these mercenaries to also to attack and loot aid convoys, and then they'd report to the world that Hamas had looted the aid). The regime has, in effect, hired proxies to do their killing so they continue to kill and oppress and so they have not honoured the spirit of the agreed "peace" plan".

"I have lost count of how many massacres Israel has committed...We saw them [the Israelis] stoop to the level of satan"- Max Blumenthal
Blumenthal hits back in this video (13 Oct 2025), to Khushner saying the Israelis would never stoop to the level of their enemies: "We saw them [the Israelis] stoop [much farther] to the level of satan" noting that 83% of Gaza has been destroyed and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians might be dead, including an untold number buried under rubble. Also add the fact that the Israelis created a famine and deliberately starved Palestinians to death, and they killed them as they tried to get food. Blumenthal cites: the bombing of Nassar hospital, the slaughter of journalists, the Magazee camp massacre of Nov 2023 in which 250 Palestinians refugees were slaughtered as the Israelis bombed it; the Israelis murdered 300 Palestinians and wounded 500 to rescue four prisoners at a market in the New Sarak camp. "It goes on and on and on and we're supposed to forget?" laments Blumenthal.
You have this nation [Israel] that claims to embody the legacy of the holocaust...telling us "do forget, not "never forget but that this must happen again." said Blumenthal. The holocaust has happened again, and this time the Israelis are the perpetrators not the victims.

Palestinian bandits who looted aid meant for Palestinians, are being eliminated by Hamas.
Blumenthal reveals In this video (13 Oct 2025), how bandits and Palestinians who collaborated with the Israelis (such as the gun-running Dogmash family), are being attacked by Hamas to restore stability to Gaza and to allow aid to reach Palestinians.
"Israeli-backed bandits, [whose] job was to prevent aid from getting in" said Blumenthal
Blumenthal also reveals that the Israeli soldiers have instructions that they may kill Palestinians once the Israeli prisoners are freed, but until then may not shoot directly at Palestinans. In other words, the Israelis will continue their murderous campaign as soon as their own are safe and push Hamas into a confrontation.

A genocide that the US could have prevented with a single telephone call
In this video (13 Oct 2025), Max Blumenthal reveals that the genocide could have been avoided by a single call from the US administration. Biden (who has admitted he is a zionist) did not make that call in Sep 2024 when the same deal that has now been accepted, was made. Biden's inaction means he has direct responsibility for genocide. Trump did push for a deal and did not insist on all points being agreed, but Trump's delay meant tens of thousands more Palestinians were murdered by the Israelis.
The countries complicit in the genocide of Palestinians are not only in the west
In this video (13 Oct 2025), Lascaris interviews an Iranian scholar who has followed US-Iran relations. She notes Egypt did nothing to alleviate the Palestinian famine, and showed no resistance to Israel.
Lascaris noted that the Egyptian regime has taken $1.5bn from the US, so its silence and coperation with US policy has been bought. She says Turkey's Erdogan is a hypocrit - saying he has cut ties with Israel but the trade figures show that is not the case. She also notes that Turkey is a Nato member so toes the line on Nato (US) policy. Qatar, she says, has been timid, showing no reaction to the murderous attack by the Israelis on Qatar soil.
These comments confirm my view and the views of many others and echo the sentiment on the placard at the London rally on 11 Oct 2025, that read: "Muslim leaders are the real IDF", meaning these muslim leaders are responsible for the deaths andf the suffering of Palestinians - more so than the murderous IDF.
The scholar noted China is a major trading partner with Israel and it would not cut its trade to pressure the Israelis over their genocide of Palestinians, because their priority is out-competing the US in terms of economic power, and supporting Palestinians is not going to sway them in that aim. The Chinese did not even threaten the Israelis in terms of cutting trade, as a way to avoid the genocide of Palestinians continuing.
Lascaris raises the interesting question of why the Russians or the Chinese did not take the opportunity to apply diplomatic or economic penalties and sanctions or show moral leadership over the Israelis' genocide (with the complicity of the west and the US). It is not that these people are intrinsically decent and moral people - look at their records, but they did not even fake concern and moral leadership.

Nobel peace prize winner Machado is cosy with Israeli regime, is funded by the US, and tried to overthrow Chavez
Watch this shocking video that exposes the background of the recent Nobel Peace prize winner, Machado, and the corruption of the Nobel Peace Prize committee because it has awarded the prize to people who have been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths - notably Obama and Kissinger.
I think Maduro was not democratically elected and should not be in office. The presenter does not mention that Maduro has not been democratically elected and he deserves to be out of office. It would be naive and false to think the US is interested in democracy and that is its reason for trying to overthrow Maduro.
The US wants the oil under Venezuela, and Machado has said she'd privatise that oil - meaning hand it over to US companies. As usual, it's all about money and oil. Trump has resorted to murdering people off the coast of Venezuela, perhaps as a pretext to a military invasion and coup.
I don't suppose Machado has condemned these murders - she also wants regime change in Venezuela. She would condemn Trump if she was a principled person who believed in life and in human rights, and the right to a trial and to be judged and sentenced. Those people murdered by Trump had as much right to live as she and Trump have. Drug traffickers, if that is really what these people were that were murdered by Trump, are not murdered for being drug traffickers, except they are by Trump. It's also worth mentioning a very small percentage of all drugs entering the US come from Venezuela, which undermines Trump's justification for killing supposed Venezuelan drug traffickers.
Machado has also supported and called for sanctions. Sanctions lead to death of innocent people - because for example, they don't get essential medicines. It's likely that she is therefore responsible for deaths of innocent Venezuelans. Not the behaviour of a person who cares about her people, but perhaps the behaviour of a person who wants power at any price.
Greenwald brilliantly uncovers the covert political scheming that explains why certain people get the Prize. He mentions the US politicians who nominated Machado for the Prize, including Rubio - a guy bought by AIPAC who is chomping at the bit for regime change in Venezuela.
Installing a Nobel Peace Prize winner as the leader of Venezuela will help the US justify its forced regime change. US propoganda will say: she stands for peace so she must be good for Venezuelans.
She is a poodle of the US, who dedicated her Prize to Trump and the "suffering" Venezuelan people, and called on nations of the world to help overthrow Maduro (see her speech below).
Machado is cosy with the Israeli regime - she asked it for support to overthrow Maduro. She has been funded by the US government for many years and the US has consipired with her in efforts to overthrow Maduro. She was funded by the CIA.
She was involved in attempts to overthrow Chavez who was the democratically elected leader of Venezuela. That act alone should disqualify her from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
She said "the struggle of Venezuela is the struggle of Israel" and in 2020 her party signed a cooperation agreement with Netanyahu's party:
CAIR said "We call on Ms. Machado to renounce her support for the Likud Party and anti-Muslim fascism in Europe... An anti-Muslim bigot and supporter of European fascism has no place being mentioned alongside...worthy Nobel laureates."
Greenwald notes an Iranian was given the Prize. Odd that it should be an Iranian - Iran is a country whose government the US wants to overthrow, just as it want government change in Venezuela. He also mentions a Russian journalist that is critical of Putin won the Prize. That journalist is therefore useful to US propaganda and efforts to remove Putin, so the journalist is elevated to Nobel laureate as it serves the agenda of the US.
These parallels in the choice of Prize winner expose a pattern in the selection process and raise red flags about the independence of the Prize commitee, and whether it is a puppet of the US regime.
Why, for example, are there no Prize winners in countries that are: allies of the US, are oppressive and inhumane to their citizens, and have people worthy of the Prize? Is it because these regimes are US allies and so the US looks the other way at their oppressive behaviour and does not nominate their people for the Prize? Examples of oppressive US allies include: Saudi, Qatar, Emirates, and Egypt.
The Nobel Peace Prize "is designed to elevate dissidents of the government we [the USA] want to weaken and demonise for our own purposes. It's a western award given out with a clear agenda...the Venezuelan one is probably the most brazen yet, but there are a lot of other ones." said Greenwald (18mins).
Amnesty International (AI)
I came across the AI's press release (here) in which it congratulates Machado and praises her work. That praise is in stark contrast to the criticism from multiple other commentators. On 11 Oct 2025, I sent feedback to AI expressing my concerns over its praise for this winner given her past (read it here).
Update 05 Nov 2025
Watch this Grayzone video which shows Machado giving away Venezuela's natural wealth to foreign contractors in exchange for replacing Maduro. The expression on her face is of a woman possessed and almost hysterical with the prospect of taking over and willing to sell anything and everything of Venezuela to become the next dictator. "She acting almost like a 'plunder minister' " said Blumenthal "The Nobel Peace Prize [awarded to this warmonger]. How can anyone ever take that seriously ever again? said Blumenthal

Palestinian writers reveal in their stories why 07 Oct 2023 happened
Click here to read real stories written by Palestinians of how they survive under a system of apartheid and oppression imposed on them by the Israelis. A book of their stories has been published and may be purchased here. Proceeds are reinvested in the organisation to support further children (Since the Israelis have blocked currency flows, money vultures take 50% of the money that finds its way into Gaza).
Click here to watch a Breaking Points video of one of the authors discuss the appalling Israeli oppression these Palestinians must endure, how the concept of story writing arose and was developed, and the reasons 07 Oct 2023 happened.

Another massive turnout in London in support of Palestinians - marking two years of genocide by Israelis
Another massive show of support for Palestinians at today's march (11 Oct 2025) in central London and it also marks two years of genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis.
The many messages (see below the 200 plus photos taken) on the placards highlight key perspectives on this tragedy and identify the perpetrators and the victims. Placards also say what must be done and what must stop. It is amazing to see so many perspectives and so much thought, time, and effort that people have invested in creating these messages and the lacards, some of which were very large and very colourful and very creative.
The placards confirm the supporters are up-to-date with events as they happen in real-time, such as: the disgusting comment by the UK government's Home Sec, Mahmood about "unBritish" behaviour; the "peace" plan; the Muslim leaders' complicity in the genocide (equating them to the IDF); the release of Palestinian prisoners; the attempt by Israelis to recruit Christians to spread their propaganda; and an 08 Oct press release from UNICEF (see image below) on the number of children and babies killed or maimed in the 2 year genocide (click here to read the full press release).
Unlike the placards protesting against the visit of Trump to England, 99% of today's placards that I saw did not contain foul, offensive, or sexually explicit language.
Police were present but I hardly noticed them along the route - from Temple along the Thames towards Westminster. Perhaps more were located at the destination - I guess Westminster. Lots of chanting and lots of music too, and the weather was perfect. There were many people, of all ages; from many different cultures and faiths, including Jews.

Israelis used fake imagery to justify their bombing of hospitals in Gaza
This Breaking Points video on 10 Oct 2025 (go to 17 mins) provides an example of how the Israelis used fake imagery for their propaganda. The imagery had been previously used to show Hamas tunnels under a UN school (in Gaza).
Now that same imagery had been used by the Israelis to describe the Hamas underground HQ under an hospital (Al-Shifa) in Gaza. The repurposed imagery exposes the fake Israeli propaganda and its use to justify their genocide and attacks on civilian infrastructure.
"Even to me it is stunning the amount and the scope and the brazenness of the lies and the propoganda that we have been fed [by the Israelis]." said the Breaking Points presenter.

The politics driving the call for an end to the Israelis' genocide
This video on 10 Oct 2025 discusses the reasons behind the cessation of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.
According to Richard Wolff, the US population is turning away from the Israelis and they are supporting the Palestinians, and that turning of the tide is politically damaging to Trump. To save his own neck, Trump is telling Netanyahu that he is no longer 100% behind Netanyahu because US opinion is turning against the Israelis. Trump is telling Netanyahu to change US public opinion of the Israelis.
Trum in essence is telling Netanyahu: "I'm not going to sacrifice my political life because AIPAC is unable to buy and control the narrative any longer"
According to Wolff, the US and Israelis now realise the genocide must stop because it is politically damaging and it is threatening a global wave of antisemitism. I don't believe antisemitism is taking place across the globe; what is happening is outrage against the Israeli regime, not Jews in general. It's possible as more facts come to light on the atrocities and to what extent the Jews in Israel supported those atrocities, that antisemitism might rise.
"The Germans did a holocaust they did a genocide and they are suffering to this today [80 years later] with the reputation they have around the world for that." said Wolff
"Israel will take a very long time, if ever, to crawl out from under what it has done [genocide in Gaza]"
Hudson talked of the takeover of media by zionists to change the narrative in their favour. He also mentioned the strategy of the Israelis to eliminate journalists in Palestine to eliminate any attempt to let the world know what the Israelis are doing; and to eliminate doctors so that Palestinian children do not survive as they will become a threat to the Jews.

7 Oct 2023: it was an Israeli concentration camp breakout by Hamas, not an attack
This video on 10 Oct 2025 by Katie Halpar discusses the events of 7 Oct 2023, why it happened, and who bears responsibility for it.
John Mearsheimer (pictured below) says the attack by Hamas was a legitimate act because the Palestinians have been kept in a concentration camp by the Israelis and so breaking out of this camp was a reasonable and legitimate act by the Palestinian force (Hamas).
In that sense, I think it would be more appropriate to refer to the Hamas attack not as an "attack" but as an "outbreak" from their Israeli concentration camp. The Israelis, Mearsheimer says, like to portray 7 Oct as the Nazis coming for the Jews in the WWII, when it was in fact 07 Oct was a breakout by Hamas from an Israeli concentration camp, but he says that is a ridiculous comparison:
"The Palestinians were the victims. They were in this concentration camp and you had a breakout on Oct 7...Israel bears a great deal of the responsibility for what happened that day."
Mearsheimer points out that Israeli soldiers were legitimate targets for Hamas but civilians were not. He also reckons most of the Israelis killed on 07 Oct were either Israeli soldiers or Israeli civilians killed by the Israelis in their blitz in response to the Hamas outbreak.
He says the stories reported in western media about 7 Oct are largely based on Israeli propaganda.
Susan Abulhawa (pictured below) expressed her frustration at the Israeli lies spread about what Hamas did to Israelis. She says not a single independent investigation of what happened on 08 Oct 2023 has been undertaken.
Mearsheimer reckons the Israelis did not expect the 7 Oct 'attack' because of their contempt for the Palestinians, and he says the response by the Israelis to the 'attack' was "haphazard" and, as is typical in the response to the 'attack', overwhelming firepower was used by the Israelis. He added that Netanyahu does not want an investigation into 7 October because he'd be blamed for not being ready for such an event.
Abulhawa says that Israeli helicopters (of which there were at least 28) unloaded their ammunition and reloaded at least once so a massive number of shots were fired by the Israelis, the implication being that it was that spray of bullets that caused so many deaths.
She also mentions the Israeli helicopters were largely responsible for the many burned out cars (and houses), yet Hamas is blamed by the Israelis for those burned out cars. It seems unrealistic to me to think Hamas would have weapons such as flame throwers that torch cars, or that they pinpointed their gunfire at the petrol tanks in each vehicle to make it explode and burn.
She is angry that these inaccuracies are being used as a predicate for the genocide perpetrated by the Israelis and the inaccuracies about what happened "manufactured popular consent for the wanton slaughter of Palestinians".
Abulhawa expressed her frustration of the "60000" number often repeated in the media as the Palestinian death toll, when she says the actual number is much larger: she mentioned that 680,000 Palestinians were murdered by the Israelis, according to recent one study/ She says reported numbers exclude Palestinans who subsequently died from malnutrition and disease. She also said official death tolls of "martyrs" excluded anyone who cannot be fully identified, so the official number was understating the actual deaths just because of lack of identification.
"October 7 was a volcano of rage erupting against the most direct victims of greater Israel" said Max Bulmenthal at the Icarus Fest 2025-session 2 (ref 9min 49 sec)

War criminal, Netanyahu, funded Hamas
The "Dresdenisation" of Gaza by Netanyahu
A Nov 2024 article by Ghousoon Bisharat in which she interviewed Adam Raz, reveals that war criminal Netanyahu has been funding Hamas because both are against a two-state solution for Palestine. I don't understand the logic of funding the enemy, but perhaps the rationale for this is:
Netanyahu gives money to Hamas, and Hamas then uses it to attack the Israelis and the Israelis murder Palestinians. The ensuing conflict means there is no resolution to the question of Palestine, and so no hope of a two-state solutions, so Hamas and the Israelis are satisfied.
There are fewer Palestinians (because they have been murdered by the Israelis), and as long as this conflict continues, fewer and fewer Palestinians remain and so the easier it becomes for the Israelis to occupy Palestinian land and oppress the Palestinians still alive.
"Netanyahu saved Hamas by allowing in suitcases full of cash from Qatar. He [Netanyahu] was actually the mastermind and the architect of this Mafia-style money transfer...a car carrying suitcases full of almost $30 million in cash would pass through Rafah Crossing every month from the summer of 2018 until October 2023."
"his [Netanyahu's] central interest is never-ending war, and Hamas was a tool to maintain the conflict while Israel had the upper hand."
A bigwig in Hamas, Sinwar, now dead, put the lives of Palestinians at risk by his show of force [7 Oct 2023 attack] to the Israelis. His grave error gave Netanyahu the opportunity to commit genocide, and his "Drezdenization of Gaza" shortly after 7 Oct won him popular support domestically.
See a post above of an alternative perspective (10 Oct 2025 video) by Mearsheimer on the 07 October attack by Hamas.
"Drezdenization" refers to the massive bombing campaign during WWII that turned vast areas of urbanised land in Dresden, Germany, to rubble. Note, Biden could have prevented the "Drezdenization" and might even have been informed of it in advance, by Netanyahu
"[Netanyahu] received the approval of the vast majority of Israeli society [following Netanyahu's Drezdenization of Gaza], and this is a stain on Jewish-Israeli society. "
"two generations of children in Gaza will grow up in tents and refugee camps...Thousands of [Palestinian] children will never feel the embrace of their parents. It’s heartbreaking. These are the conditions that fuel resistance and perpetuate segregation. The recruitment offices of Hamas will remain busier than ever."
"I was amazed, during the bombing campaign at the start of the war, how people [Israelis] simply closed their eyes. But the denial is very important for us [Jews], the “chosen people,” to grant legitimacy to what we are doing in Gaza".
"[Leibowitz] said as early as 1968 that the occupation [of Palestine by Israelis] is a corrupting force. The occupation has truly corrupted us [Israelis]."

Israelis won't end their genocidal campaign until they feel economic pain
So said Antony Lowenstein in this video on 07 Oct 2025. He said 7 Oct 2023 gave the Israelis the justification to commit genocide of Palestinians.
He said ties of western and Arab countries with the Israelis have deepened in contrast to outward appearances by these partners of dismay at what the Israelis are doing in Palestine.
He predicts the genocidal ways of the Israelis will not end when Netanyahu is out of office, because the opposition want the same as Netanyahu (the long-term occupation of Palestine).
He highlights the alliance between the Israelis and western right-wing, evangelical christians and catholics, and white supremacist groups that are anti-Islam and anti-immigration. A reason for nurturing such alliances is because the Israelis are losing the support of other groups of people (such as liberals).
He notes that Tommy Robinson has been invited to Israel.
"Israel [is] openly and proudly backing the far right"
He ends by saying the Israelis will continue with their arrogance, their hubris, and their feeling of impunity, until they feel economic pain.
He said ties of western and Arab countries with the Israelis have deepened in contrast to outward appearances by these partners of dismay at what the Israelis are doing in Palestine.
He predicts the genocidal ways of the Israelis will not end when Netanyahu is out of office, because the opposition want the same as Netanyahu (the long-term occupation of Palestine).
He highlights the alliance between the Israelis and western right-wing, evangelical christians and catholics, and white supremacist groups that are anti-Islam and anti-immigration. A reason for nurturing such alliances is because the Israelis are losing the support of other groups of people (such as liberals).
He notes that Tommy Robinson has been invited to Israel.
"Israel [is] openly and proudly backing the far right"

Impotent institutions must be named and shamed
I watched a video today (09 Oct 2025) in which an academic (Brendan Browne) forcefully lamented the fact that "institutions" were not doing enough to end the genocide or to bring the perpetrators to justice. He also called for reform of these institutions. He lamented the fact that the Israeli criminal, Netanyahu, is allowed to travel across the globe and not one country has arrested him.
While Browne's frustration and dismay were understandable (and I share them), it was frustrating to see and hear that he did not actually name the institutions he was talking of. I wrote to him on 09 Oct 2025 (link to read my email). He replied the same day (read his reply here). He mentioned a couple of institutions in his reply, ICC and ICJ, and so I suppose these are at least two of the "institutions" he complained about in his TRTWorld interview.
I would also add the UN, plus the many organisations that support the regime and its enablers of genocide, including: banks who arrange sovereign funding transactions (Israeli government bonds); international payments systems that transfer money to and from the regime and its enablers, such as Euroclear and SWIFT; asset managers that buy Israeli bonds or invest in its enablers, UEFA and FIFA and other sports bodies that allow the regime to participate in sports competitions across the globe.

Agreement evokes relief but also suspicion among Palestinians, and the Israelis accelerate their genocide
Palestinians and the Israelis have agreed to phase 1 of the peace plan, meaning the Israelis will pull back, allow aid into Gaza, and each side will exchange hostages.
There is much concern and suspicion among Palestinians that, as so many times before, the Israelis will break the agreement, or that Trump will renege on what he said.
Typical of their intent to erase Palestinians, the Israelis have continued their killing even as this current plan is being discussed, and in fact they have increased their bombing on 09 Oct "way more than before...it's like they are in a rush, in a hurry to kill as many people as possible...Israeli tanks are literally bombing people alive...on the beach", said M Shehada (click here - then scroll to 15min 14 sec).

Trump called "Hitler" to his face
Watch this short clip of Trump being berated and called "Hitler of our time" by pro-Palestinian protestors. The incident happened about a month ago (early Sep 2025).
European governments reported to ICC for complicity in genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis
The Palestinian Chronicle published an article on 08 Oct 2025 about European governments being reported to the ICC (Hague) for various crimes, including complicity in genocide.
The image above shows the complaint against the Italian government. The same words could be said about the UK, Germany, and France and complaints have similarly been filed about Germany and France, but where are the complaints about the UK and the principal enabler of the genocide, the US government?
I sent an email on 08 Oct 2025 to Declassified suggesting an article about reporting the UK to the ICC for its complicity and its failure to prevent a genocide. I also sent an email on 08 Oct 2025 to the Italian organisation (giuristiavvocatiperlapalestina.org) that filed the complaint about the Italian government, saying they had missed the additional points mentioned in the Genocide Convention - to prevent and to punish, genocide.
It is excellent that decent folk have taken steps to bring the criminals to justice, just as the Nazis were in WWII. The fight for justice must last as long as it takes.

Jewish woman in tears over zionism stoking antisemitism
Watch this Novara Media video of a rally in Trafalgar Square on 04 Oct 2025 which included Jews protesting against the genocide of Palestinians. Note how the Jews interviewed condemn zionists for making the false claim that these protests (against the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis) are antisemitic.
Zionists say the genocide is being perpetrated for Jews: "That makes me so distressed. It's not in my name." said a Jewish woman in tears "I've never felt less safe through the rise of zionism and the way that they are being allowed to spread their hate. It's the zionism that's making them (Jews) feel unsafe because it is stoking antisemitism. Without zionism we can be a community together across faiths...and we'll be OK" The UK government has synically exploited the Manchester incident. |

Trump for the Nobel Peace prize? The idea is repugnant
Read below my (revised) FT comment (posted on 09 Oct) to an article on 08 oct 2025 about the idea of Trump getting the Nobel Peace Prize.
Later on 09 Oct, I searched for my revised post but I could not find it, so it seems to me the FT took it down and did not publish it. I don't know why they did that.
I then posted a second comment (also on 09 Oct) - it's the one immediately below and refers to unsung heroes - maybe that too will be taken down by the FT.

Trump's ultimatum reveals more forms of Israeli inhumanity
Trump's ultimatum has inadvertently revealed more examples of the Israeli regime's inhumanity (revealed on a Breaking Points video on 06 Oct 2025):
a) women and children have been captured by Israelis and they are being held in its prison system. The world has heard of Israeli hostages but not of hostages taken by the Israelis and that they include women and children
b) Trump said there would be a free flow of aid - an admission that aid has NOT been flowing freely but has been restricted by the Israelis, a restriction the Israelis have denied, but Trump has revealed that Israeli denial is a lie.
Scahill revealed that the Israelis have a history of torturing, degrading, and murdering Palestinian prisoners in custody. They also freeze their victims' dead bodies, which is why 15 Palestinians are to be returned in exchange for one Israeli returned by Hamas.

Trump tells Netanyahu to stop the bombing, but he ignores him and continues to murder Palestinians - at least 70 more
On 06 Oct 2025, Dimitri Lascaris (Reason2Resist) posted the above media post by Trump. Trump's message to Netanyahu was ignored by the war criminal - he continued to bomb and murder Palestinians.
Lascaris concluded that the ultimatum was dealt with by Hamas in a way that thwarted any hope Netanyahu had that it would be rejected and so he'd blame the Palestinians for rejecting the plan and so he would be justified in continuing his genocide of Palestinians. Trump's post above will be evidence to reject any claim Netanyahu might make that Hamas do not want peace, because Trump has publicy admitted they do want peace.
"Hamas has scored an important victory from a public relations perspective." Dimitri Lascaris
Lascaris also noted that the frustration expressed by Trump (and before him, Biden) with Netanyahu, might be a pretence - to give the false impression the US administration are not the bad guys - when they are the bad guys for aiding and abetting the Israeli war criminal's genocide.
Lascaris mentions ways that the Israelis can be held accountable for their crimes and so end the genocide:
Lascaris forecasts that if the genocide continues, then public opinion of Israel will continue to decline. He mentions an Oct 2025 poll that shows 61% of American Jews think Israel has committed war crimes and 39% think it has committed genocide. Of those Jews aged 18-34, 50% think Israel is committing genocide.
Lascaris dismisses claims by Israeli lobby groups, such as AIPAC, that they are the voice of Jews and not Jewish groups opposing zionism. The poll shows the opposite is the case and the likes of AIPAC are losing their influence, which perhaps explains why there is a push by the pro-Israeli lobby to enlist Pro-Israeli media (such as Ellison) to spread Israeli propaganda via the internet and other digital media.

- Western "leaders" pull the plug on supporting Israel - financially, diplomatically, militarily and in other ways
- Convict Israelis for war crimes and hand down severe sentences that will deter
- Boycott Israel and destroy its economy
- Militarily defeat Israel e.g., a war on it by Iran

Points from the Breaking Points (06 Oct 2025) video with Scahill where he gave his update on the Hamas response to Trump's ultimatum:
Hamas's concerns:
1 Absence of guarantees (so the ceasefire will endure)
2 Outside forces (Tump & Blair) would govern Palestine
3 Questions remain about Palestinian statehood and self-determination
Hamas's willingness to release Israelis and relinquish power is predicated on: getting aid and Israelis withdrawing.
Hamas has said it needs wider input regarding the governance of Palestine; it says it cannot or will not make Palestine-wide decisions itself. Hamas has also said its disarmament is for the Palestinian people to decide not Hamas itself, i.e., Hamas is trying to reduce its influence and involve other Palestinians in discussions as a reason to avoid giving up its weapons, or perhaps it is genuinely unable to unilaterally decide to give up its weapons. Hamas also doesn't wish to give up its weapons because it knows Trump is a liar and is erratic and he cannot be relied upon to keep his word.
Scahill noted that there is a risk of deception here - that Trump and Netanyahu could resume their genocide of Palestinians as soon as the Israelis have been released, but he said there are incentives for Trump to get this deal done a) he wants the Nobel peace prize, b) he wants the money from the property development deals in Palestine, and c) if he did renege on the deal, he'd jeopardise his relationships with ME countries that he has nurtured and all the money he'd make with them.
Scahill ended by noting that the Hamas political negotiator (al-Hayya) on the Trump ultimatum, was the assassination target of the murderous Israelis:
"the strike took place [in Qatar] while members of Hamas’s leadership were meeting to discuss the Trump framework. ".
Why would the Israelis murder Hamas members while they are meeting to dicuss the peace plan? Is it because the Israelis don't want peace, not really, and what they really want is to ethnically cleanse Palestinians and take their land? Watch this clip where Hasan describes the Israelis' long history of murdering negotiators and key personnel. "They [the Israelis] always kill the negotiators...There is a long history of Israel undermining negotiations, ceasefires, truces...because they don't actually want peace" said Hasan (8min 37 sec).
al-Hayya survived the assassination but his son did not, and other close members of his family were injured in the assassination. This shows that the murderous Israelis have no regard for murdering or maiming innocent civilians in their attempts to murder their targets. The fact they executed their assassination in another country also shows the Israelis have no concern for international law and will commit state terrorism.
al-Hayya said: "I do not differentiate between my sons...and the rest of the children of the Gaza Strip...They are all my children, because they all fell to the crime of the Israeli occupation."
This comment reminds me of what Guru Gobind Singh said when he lost his four sons, to the enemy.
"For the family of my Khalsa, I sacrificed my four sons. So what if my four sons are dead, when thousands more are alive!" Sri Guru Gobind Singh

Hamas has offered to return Israeli hostages, but the Israeli regime repeatedly refuses, and the Israelis are holding Palestinian women and children
According to Annelle Rodriguez Sheline, speaking on the Galloway talkshow on 06 Oct 2025, Hamas has been willing to release the hostages since Nov 2023, but each time Hamas offers, the Israeli regime has not accepted Hamas's terms. The narrative that the bombing would end if the hostages were returned, is a false narrative. She adds that the regime is intent on killing as many Palestinians as possible in order to get the rest to leave and so take over the territory. The hostages are useful to the regime because as long as they remain hostages they enable the regime to continue their slaughter of Palestinians.
The Trump post in which he told the regime to stop bombing, has not been followed by the regime and that post has now been taken down, i.e., Trump is being ignored by the regime. Instead, 93 attacks have been launched just in the last 24 hours, with 100 murdered.
Sheline and Galloway debate the reason why US politicians are not speaking out and demanding the return of US flotilla passengers. They think the silence from US politicians is because they have been bought by AIPAC (the Jewish lobby that controls so many US politicians). Galloway and Sheline reckon that ordinarily, politicians would do what their constituents want so they'd get re-elected, but they add that they will be prevented from doing that if AIPAC does not approve and threatens to stop sending the cheques. The bought politician then does as AIPAC wants and tries to get re-elected by using resources (money from AIPAC) to win votes.

Badenoch makes another false and disgusting comment about pro-Palestinian protests in the UK
The following disgusting comment from Tory "leader" Badenoch appeared in an article on 05 Oct 2025 in relation to protests in the UK:
"You see it manifest in the shameful behaviour on the streets of our cities, protests which are in fact carnivals of hatred directed at the Jewish homeland."
It is a disgusting statement because it is false. The marches are protests against the Israeli regime NOT Israel the land or "homeland" using Badenoch's word. Her statement is also disgusting because Badenoch has the gall to say the protests are "shameful". She is the one who is shameful, or rather, by making such a comment, she is shameless.
Yes they are protests of hate, but hate against the Israeli regime, because it is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. That hate is being expressed by people of many colours, cultures, faiths, and nationalities, and across the globe.
Any decent person with a shred of humanity would feel such hatred. Do you think, Badenoch, British people and people across the world should not hate a murderous Israeli regime that is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing?
Badenoch like so many politicians, is in denial about the genocide and ethnic cleansing being perpetrated by Israelis. She goes farther in making disgustingly false and shameless accusations about the nature of pro-Palestinian marches and protests.
Badenoch should be ashamed for making such a false comment about pro-Palestinian protests.

Genocide enablers of Europe: heed your citizens and stop your complicity in the Israelis' genocide of Palestinians
Overwhelming condemnation erupted over the weekend (03 and 04 Oct 2025) across European cities and in Argentina and Brazil, against seizure of flotilla by Israelis- click on the photos below of protests across cities over the weekend as citizens learned the flotilla of boats carrying aid to Palestinians had been seized and their crew and passengers captured and detained.
It is surprising and heartening to see such collective outrage on so wide a scale against the Israelis for their inhumanity, and for their disregard for international law, and so there should be.
It is regrettable however that many of the scenes in videos are of violent clashes between protestors and the police. That is not the way it should happen. Protests must be peaceful with respect for property - public and private. Police and protestors must restrain their anger and remain in control. The UK Palestine Action protests are exemplary - peaceful but defiant opposition to the government and to the police.
I hope governments that are complicit in that genocide - especially the UK, Germany, Italy, and the appalling EU commissioner, von der Leyen - will listen to their citizens and act with humanity and they will, finally, stand on the right side of humanity, with the Palestinians, and not with the inhumanity of the US and the Israelis. Link to video of images shown below, CNBC-TV18; Times Now; DW; Liberty 365; Times Now
It is shocking to hear, in the face of so much outrage across so many countries, that the Italian PM, Meloni has the gall to say these protests (in Italy) have been organised mainly to protest against the government rather than in support of Gaza (see here at 2:00 mins). The despicable person is clearly not willing to change her allegiance to war criminals Netanyahu and Trump.

Police arrest hundreds more who support Palestine Action
Hundreds more were arrested by police in London and elsewhere over the weekend (03 Oct 2025) at protest rallies against the proscription of Palestine Action. Many people came out to protest against the UK government's complicity in the genocide of Palestinians by the murderous Israeli regime.

Britain's shameful centuries-old history in Palestine
Avi Shlaim is an academic and author of Genocide in Gaza: Israel’s Long War on Palestine. He has said Israel is perpetrating genocide.
He published a paper (in TRT World on 21 Sep 2025) on the UK's role in establishing a Jewish base in Palestine, some 100 years ago and the UK's long history of denying Palestinians their rights and its complicity in the genocide by the Israelis. Avi Shlaim's paper may be read in full here. His main points are:
He published a paper (in TRT World on 21 Sep 2025) on the UK's role in establishing a Jewish base in Palestine, some 100 years ago and the UK's long history of denying Palestinians their rights and its complicity in the genocide by the Israelis. Avi Shlaim's paper may be read in full here. His main points are:
- Palestine population: 1917: 10% Jews 90% non-Jews (British spoke of Palestinians as 'non-Jews' instead of calling them by what they actually were: Palestinians)
- League of Nations Mandate by which Brits ruled Palestine for the Zionists, including the strategy of not allowing elections until the Jews were the majority of the population.
- Jews, Christians, and Muslims coexisted peacefully prior to British colonial rule
- Since 1948, UK governments have denied Palestinians their right of self-determination
- David Cameron dismissed a 2014 motion by MPs (274:12) to recognise Palestine.
- In 2017, Theresa May refused to apologise about the Balfour Declaration, and on the contrary was proud to have provided a Jewish state.
- Britain vetoed UN resolutions for a ceasefire in Gaza.
- UK's airforce base in Cyprus is used by the Israeli military; Israeli planes are allowed to stop in Scotland to pick up weapons and ammo from US. UK bases are used by US military shuttling between the US and Israel
- UK is third largest arms supplier to Israel. Its suspension of 10% of these sales is a token gesture
- UK governmanet "has singularly and lamentably failed" to prevent genocide, even though they have a duty to prevent genocide. Instead, shamefully, the government has maintained the position that "there is no conclusive evidence that Israel is perpetrating genocide in Gaza"
- The UK must: sanction Israel, suspend all military and intelligence cooperation, and end all arms sales to Israel.
The UK's complicity in the genocide of Palestinians
Watch this damning unlifting of the veil to reveal the complicity of the UK government in the genocide by the murderous Israelis, including the spying by the UK over Gaza and its transfer of spy data realtime to the Israeli military, and Starmer's wish to keep secret the UK's operations at its airbase in Cyprus.
Note the point about the UK politicians or civil servants deliberately not keeping written records of their activities in the genocide so they don't have to supply written information in FOA requests about their complicity.
Note Matt Kennard's closing comments about the disgusting British, American, and German governments who enable the murderous Israelis to wage war and spread misery across the Middle East.

"Artists" who side with the murderous Israeli regime
Watch this hard-hitting clip from Katie Halper in which Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) condemns artists who've sided with the murderous Israelis, and he's scathing about the lead from U2, Bono.
Badenoch and Mahmood make false accusations of antisemitism and being "un-British", to silence protestors
Absolutely disgusting to read, in a 04 Oct 2025 article by FT.com, Badenoch, the Conservative party leader, describe the Palestine Action protest as "“brazen antisemitism” and for the Labour Home Secretary, Mahmood, to say " it was "un-British” for demonstrations to go ahead. Both politicians have called for the demonstrations to be cancelled. In the past, another polician, Braverman, described marches against the oppression of Palestinians as hate marches.
Greater Manchester Friends of Palestine organised the event to mark what organisers called “two years of genocide in Gaza” and chanted: “Stop the genocide; end apartheid”. Badenoch should explain: how can she say that such an event is "antisemitism" and why does Mahmood think it "un-British" to demonstrate after the incident in Manchester? Is it un-British to demonstrate against the tens of thousands of Palestinians murdered and starved to death by the murderous Israeli regime? It is un-British NOT to demonstrate and not to speak out about Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and for successive UK governments' complicity in such inhumanity.
These politicians have deliberately linked the protest marches and antisemitism and un-Britishness to the incident in Manchester when there is no link. It is not clear why they should do that. It is possible they are being guided and influenced by anti-Palestine or pro-Israel lobbies.
Another person (Tony Levene) was quoted in a 03 Oct 2025 FT.com article talked of the government's "failure to stop pro-Palestinian demonstrations he called “hate marches” ".
I have not read the minds of each person, and nor has any politician or anyone who describes these marches as "hate marches". I believe hundreds of thousands, and millions, of people across the world, have attended marches to demonstrate their hatred of the Israelis perpetrating genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. They are expressing their hate for such inhumane actions. Marchers are not being antisemitic and it is therefore malicious, false and offensive for politicians and other people like Levene to use antisemitism and "hate" to prevent marches and to prevent free speech. Many of the marchers are Jews and have opposed the Israeli regime.
Novara Media published (03 Oct 2025) examples of how people are using the Manchester incident to spread lies and to smear pro-Palestine protests:
Farage lied by saying pro-Palestinians supporters were celebrating the Manchester attack, and Jake Wallis Simons maliciously said they were "apparently" celebrating murders (see his post in the image below). The pro-Palestinian supporters were not celebrating the murders. They were protesting about the seizure of the flotilla of boats supplying aid to Palestinians. Wallis Simons and Farage therefore smeared and used the murders for political gain and they are the ones who should be condemned for spreading hate and lies and division in society.
A religious leader of Jews (a rabbi) also used the Manchester incident to silence opposition. He says "when there is the unjustified demonisation of Israel. That feeds directly into an anti-Jewish sentiment...that then encourages extremism. Our government needs to be mindful of that."
This rabbi is making a grave mistake by not separating the murderous actions of the Israeli regime from the wider Jewish people. He is also making a grave mistake by saying the comments and protests he talks of, are made against Jews as a group. They are not; they are aimed at the murderous Israeli regime for its ethnic cleansing. He is also wrong to say the demonisation of Israel is "unjustified". Again, he groups Israel as one when he should separate the Israeli regime and its supporters, from the wider Jewish people.
Why is it "unjustified" to demonise the murderous regime - they are committing genocide and starving Palestinians to death and they are taking their homes and their land. Any decent person WOULD demonise them for such behaviour.
This rabbi has, perhaps deliberately and cunningly, referred to Israel as a unit, when he should have spoken of its regime and the wider Jews separately. He should have, if he had been a decent, honourable person, condemned the Israeli regime for their genocide of Palestinians. He talks of "extremism", but he fails to say it is extreme for Israelis to ethnically cleanse Palestinians, to starve them, to murder them as they try to get food.
Green Party leader, Polanski, is right to say people must not conflate the Jewish community and the genocide by Israelis in Gaza "We need to not conflate the Jewish community and the ongoing genocide in Gaza" He also said that that conflation "makes me feel more at risk" (he is a Jew).
Devious people - those who deliberately and maliciously link the Manchester incident to pro-Palestine supporters - are doing Jews a disservice because, as Polanski says (and he is not alone) these devious people are putting Jews at greater risk of harm.
Instead of making false accusations of antisemitism, stirring up division and mischief, these disgusting politicians should show their support for voices calling for an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of innocent Palestinians by the murderous Israeli regime; they should pressure the murderous Israeli regime to stop; they should stop supplying it with military support and weapons.F alse accusations about antisemitism are a common tactic used by politicians and the Israeli lobby to stifle free speech and opposition.
Had Starmer and other UK politicians taken the decent and humane path, and taken steps to actually alleviate the suffering of Palestinians, it is possible the incident in Manchester would not have happened. Instead, these UK politicians have been complicit in genocide and have supported the Israeli regime and its lobby, as have most of the politicians of the EU and of course, those in the US.
Greater Manchester Friends of Palestine organised the event to mark what organisers called “two years of genocide in Gaza” and chanted: “Stop the genocide; end apartheid”. Badenoch should explain: how can she say that such an event is "antisemitism" and why does Mahmood think it "un-British" to demonstrate after the incident in Manchester? Is it un-British to demonstrate against the tens of thousands of Palestinians murdered and starved to death by the murderous Israeli regime? It is un-British NOT to demonstrate and not to speak out about Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and for successive UK governments' complicity in such inhumanity.
These politicians have deliberately linked the protest marches and antisemitism and un-Britishness to the incident in Manchester when there is no link. It is not clear why they should do that. It is possible they are being guided and influenced by anti-Palestine or pro-Israel lobbies.

Simon's FALSE and malicious tweet about Palestinian supporters
More Americans, especially the young, are on the Palestinians' side - a recent poll shows
A recent poll shows more Americans sided with Palestinians than the Israelis over "the war in Gaza", and "The number of Americans who think Israel is “intentionally” killing civilians also changed drastically, rising from 22% [in Dec 2023] to 40%." The poll also included the views of young people:
"Young People: People aged 18-29, who made up 15% of respondents, overwhelmingly sided against Israel. From this cohort, 61% sympathized more with Palestinians, compared to 19% for Israel, and 69% believed Israel should stop the war, while 19% believed it should continue. 66% believed Israel is intentionally killing civilians."

Genocidal Trump is as inhumane as war criminal Netanyahu
Tough-talking Trump is threatening "HELL, like no one has ever seen before..." if Hamas does not accept his so-called "peace plan" by Sunday evening - a plan that has not had the input of any Palestinian, and which has been endorsed by Arab puppets of Trump and Netanyahu.
The ultimatum could all be a gamble by the murderous duo - the ultimatum is so one-sided in favour of the Israeli regime that they're betting Hamas won't agree to it. That will give the murderous duo a justification, in their eyes and in the eyes of the world, for "all, HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out" - meaning a coninuation of their genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, plus taking their land and developing it into a Rivierra and making a real estate killing.
Note, the murderous pair, have not used their wealth or power to provide food, medicines, and shelter to Palestinians - which they could have done years ago. Instead, they present themselves as peacemakers to the world.
The ultimatum that Trump is so desperate to get could be a stunt to get the Nobel peace prize if he manages to pressure Hamas to accept his ultimatum. Acceptance of the ultimatum does not mean the murderous regime will stop its oppression of Palestinians nor does it mean Israeli settlers will get out of the illegal settlements they have built on Palestinian land.
The disgusting west has sat on the sidelines and allowed the genocide to continue unabated. The impotent UN has also been useless. The muslim world has not come to the aid of Palestinians and some countries have sided with the Israelis and the US. The Palestinians are indeed politically isolated.
Palestinians have the moral support of millions of ordinary citizens across the world who have held rallies and protests in their millions but they have been unable to persuade their political leaders nor the mainstream media, to side with humanity and decency and instead they have been silent and inactive and that inaction has shown without any doubt they have sided with the murderous duo the US and the Israelis.

Meloni is harsher on the aid flotilla than she is on Israeli war criminal, Netanyahu
Italians in Polermo march in support of Palestinians (03/10/2025)
Israeli supporter, Meloni (PM of Italy) has criticised the flotilla of boats trying to deliver aid to Palestinians. The Israeli regime illegally seized and boarded the boats in international waters and has detained the people, including 40 Italians.
A poll found "63 per cent of Italians believe Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza, and that innocent civilians are the main casualties of Israel’s offensive against Hamas"
Elly Schlein said Meloni "had used “harsher words and harsher attacks against the activists of the flotilla than she ever had for Netanyahu’s crimes in Gaza and the West Bank”.
In contrast to Meloni's pro-Israel and pro-Trump leanings, the Italian public showed their support with a general stike in support of Palestine and tens of thousands marched through Rome and other cities.
Many protest marches have been organised in the UK and tens and even hundreds of thousands of supporters have attended, but there has never been a general strike in support of Palestinians, so the Italians have certainly much to commend them for that exceptional show of support.

Tik Tok silences pro-Palestinian voices and promotes pro-Israeli voices
On 03 Oct 2025, Breaking Points revealed (in an interview with Tik Tok user and political activist, Guy Christensen) how Tik Tok has changed its free speech guidelines and has hired - after ADL lobbying - an Israeli sympathiser and former IDF instructor (Erika Mendel) to monitor hate speech. Calling it "hate speech" is inaccurate as it could include reasonable criticism of Israeli or of billionaires such as Ellison who fund Israel and support its policies.
This link shows what Friends of Palestine thought of her appointment. Her appointment and her obvious affinity to Israel has meant - in effect - silencing pro-Palestinian voices and silencing criticism of Israel and its agents such as AIPAC, under the guise of monitoring hate speech.
Tik Tok's new guidelines even go to the extreme of posters having to denounce "terrorist organisations" they mention; for example, they cannot mention "Hamas" without also saying: "I condemn Hamas". In short, those who control Tik Tok are rolling out censorship of the pro-Palestine voice and promoting a pro-Israel voice.
Trying to win back American support is likely to backfire for the Israeli regime, their strategy is a losing game, and there is rapidly declining trust of what the pro-Israelis crowd says, added Christensen.
13 Nov 2025
I came across this video (uploaded 12 Nov 2025) of Christensen being interviewed by Greenwald. He discusses when and why he chose to support the Palestinians even at significant cost to him personally in terms of attacks on him and his expulsion by his university. Click here to read the legal complaint about his expulsion without a hearing and the appalling position taken by Ohio State University.

The expanding capture of US media by the Israeli lobby
The extract below is from a video on 06 Oct 2025 in which Max Blumenthal revealed the steps being taken by Israelis to sabotage the pro-Palestinian voice and to spread Israeli propaganda. As always, money buys complicity and influence, which is why billionaires with Israeli ties are being targetted for financial support. In addition, Israeli sympathisers who own US media are using that media infrastructure to spread Israeli propoganda and to silence critics of Israel.
Referring to the capture of US media by the Israeli lobby, Max Blementhal said:
"This is a foreign takeover...using zionist billionnaire cut outs who are advancing the interests of an apartheid state that is engaged in a genocide, that is hated everywhere around the world."
Blumenthal says the capture of the media by the Israelis is a pathway to dictatorship, a techno-feudal dictatorship, and Trump is setting the stage by redefining the defintion of a terrorist to suppress dissent. "these AI techno-feudalists...who are all ideologically militant zionists and their Israeli partners in crime have more control over American policy than ever before. It's important to resist it."

War criminal Netanyahu says social media is his most important battlefield (or weapon)*
Nick Cleveland-Stout (see his post in the image above) reveals the Israeli regime is paying social media influencers $7000 per post for pro-Israeli propaganda.
His article on 29 Sep 2025 revealed the regime has awarded a $6m contract to a company controlled by Trump's former campaign manager (Brad Parscale, who registered as a foreign agent of Israel in September 2025) to create "websites to influence how AI GPT models such as ChatGPT...frame topics and respond to them — all on behalf of Israel."
Sarch Engine Optimisation will be used to “improve the visibility and ranking of relevant narratives” on search engines such as Google and Bing, and pro-Israeli messaging will be integrated with "a conservative Christian media group that boasts a vast radio network and produces high-profile shows"
Breaking Points (link) reveals that the use of AI and SEO and media channels has to be sophisticated so these influencers and their backers are partnering with established, credible and trusted media channels to spread their propaganda to increase the chance it will be accepted and approved by AI, SEO, AI GPT models and similar systems and algorithms that check data, manipulate data, and then publish it. In essence, just spewing pro-Israeli messages directly online is not going to reach as many people as those messages going via the backdoor - through established communication channels and networks.
According to this media report on 01 Oct 2025: "Parscale’s Israel campaign promises to produce 100 ads or pieces of content each month, plus 5,000 different variations of those ads". The same report revealed another foreign agent of Israel, Bridges Partners, received $200K via Havas, "to recruit and coordinate US-based social media influencers." Influencers are "each expected to post roughly 25 to 30 pieces of content per month across Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms." and there is also talk of building a "support ecosystem".
The above influencer campaigns are an attempt by the regime to not only erase Palestinians by force on the ground in Palestine, but to also erase them online, on social media and on air. The war criminal, Netanyahu said:
“We have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefields in which we engage, and the most important ones are on social media.”
The regime's social media battles will be supported by its super-rich sympathisers and enablers, including Ellison. Ellison and other pro-Israel supporters are bidding to control Tik Tok and in so doing will allow it to be a propaganda mouthpiece for the Israeli regime - an outcome alluded to by the regime's war criminal (Netanyahu) when he referred to Tik Tok being the most important puchase going on right now (watch this short clip by Cleveland-Stout of Netanyahu saying as much).
This clip (06 Oct 2025; 11:04:04) says a pro-Israeli supporter and a self-confessed zionist fanatic (Weiss), has just been made the boss of CBS News, so how can she be expected to publish impartial news? This is the person who said the starvation in Palestine is fake. "It is very worrying for those of use who believe in free speech" said Hasan.
This 07 Oct 2025 video discusses the Ellisons and their wide ownership of media channels, and the hiring of Weiss who will, unusually, report directly to Ellison. The presenter says the Ellison clan is deeply pro-Israeli (Ellison is the largest donor to Friends of the IDF) and so there is a danger the Ellisons and their pro-Israeli poodles, will compromise the interests of the US because of their greater allegiance to Israel. Not content with so much media influence, the Ellisons are now looking to acquire Warner Bros Discovery.
* I have inserted "(or weapon)" in the title above because there is doubt about what the war criminal meant. Did he mean social media is the most important weapon or did he mean social media is his most important battlefield? Either word is possible and rational: the war criminal and his regime are fighting a battle on social media (social media is the battlefield) to win the hearts and minds of people who see the suffering of Palestinians at the hands of the murderous regime. On the other hand, he and the regime are using social media as a weapon to destroy the empathy and support for Palestinians, for example, by using social media influencers to post pro-Israeli messages and to game AI.
If social media is the war criminal's most important battlefield, then it reveals he has even less, if that were possible, concern for the Palestinians he is murdering and ethnically-cleansing, because that "battlefield" is not as important to him as his social media battlefield.
Update 11 Nov 2025
Watch this TYT video (uploaded on 11 Nov 2025), about the deeply racist campaign by the Israelis to brainwash Americans to favour Israelis over Palestinians. It is targetted at 12 million Christians. The Israelis will use their religious connections with Christians as leverage to win favour with the Christians.
The campaign (called "perception operations" by the Israelis) intends to spread false propaganda, including: Israel is saying: "tell the American Christians that the Palestinians are murdering Christians" said Uygur. It [Israel] is "purposely trying to rile up hatred so that people will hate the Palestinians, will hate muslims." said Cenk Uygur about the campaign. "As long as Israel is doing it [spreading false propaganda or hatred] that's great [he predicts the mainstream media will say]. If you object to it [the campaign], you're an antisemite [meaning the Israelis and their supporters will say anyone who criticises the Israeli campaign is an antisemite]...This is the government of Israel trying to trick Christians" Uygur added. The video also exposed efforts (reported in an Israeli journal) by the Israelis to manipulate generative AI to giving pro-Israel answers. TYT added "I've noticed Grok (AI used on X aka Twitter) has actually gotten a little more pro-Israel...it got re-programmed" said Uygur. TYT added that the Israelis' campaign will literally track Christians going to church then find out what you're watching online then target you with their brainwashing.

Israeli regime seizes flotilla boats in international waters and detains crews
02 Oct 2025: The murderous Israeli regime has violated international maritime law by boarding and seizing boats (trying to bring aid to Palestinians) in international waters. "The legality of Israel’s blockade of Gaza is also under debate at the International Court of Justice". In 2010, Israelis killed 9 people in international waters who'd tried to breach the Israeli blockade.
The regime has blocked access to Gaza by sea since 2009 (decades). The Spanish and Italian military ships were mute and inconspicuous as the regime removed EU citizens and detained them. The regime also sprayed skumk water in what Ryan Grim described as a sadistic behaviour by the regime.
This video by the Majority Report raised the very important point that the regime has the capacity to avoid death and injury because it has repeatedly sent drones that have damaged boats but they have been very careful not to injure anyone onboard, as that would create a diplomatic storm internationally. The murderous regime has also illustrated that they can murder people with pinpoint accuracy using drones. Given the regime has the means to avoid human injury, how is it that they have murdered over 60000 Palestinians, the vast majority being civilians? The answer is the murderous Israeli regime has deliberately targetted and murdered Palestinian civilians, including women and children, even as they desperately tried to obtain food. Watch this video at 47mins 47 sec where they mention a Palestinian doctor being hit in the head by a drone.
The statement in the image below is from this Novara Media clip on 03 Oct 2025, and is about the treatment of the crews of the flotilla seized and called terrorists by the Israelis. Watch the video of them being held by the Israelis (at approx 29mins into the clip):

US judge upholds pro-Palestinian supporters' right to free-speech and condemns Trump and his lackeys for violating that right
US Judge Young condemned Trump, and his political lackeys including Rubio and Noem, for not upholding the US constitution and for denying pro-Palestinian supporters (including that that are not US citizens) their right to free speech.
The government went farther than denying free speech; they deported, withdrew visas and detained pro-Palestinian supporters, and they falsely accused them of anti-semitism. Click here to watch a 90-second summary of the judge's ruling. Click here for a longer (16 min) assessment of this ruling.
Click here to read the judge's 161 page ruling, which includes (on page 33) a reference to the US Dept of State's view that "criticism of Israel...cannot be regarded as antisemitic".
TYT (11 min 29sec) noted that Netanyahu said the Palestinian Authority must no longer criticise Israel. This war criminal, not content with murder and starvation and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and taking their land, is now demanding they should not criticise his country.
It is shameful that Trump and his political and legal lackeys, and the Israeli lobby, should stoop so low as to brazenly violate the US constitution (by denying the constitutional right of anyone in the US to free speech) in order to farther their own political ideology.
These rogue politicians and Israeli lobbyists, denied people the right to free speech because their political views (pro-Israel) are at odds with the pro-Palestine political views of the people they sought to silence.

FT's "Editorial Board" ignores Palestinians' right to self-determination and takes the fake Trump peace plan seriously
Credit: iheart.com
The pompously-titled "Editorial Board" of the Financial Times has shown in their piece published 01 Oct 2025, they are not only pompous but they are also incredibly naive and incredibly ignorant.
In their opening sentence they say "Donald Trump’s 20-point plan" is "a serious push to end Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza"
How can the "Editorial Board" say it is a serious plan when NO Palestinian has been consulted about it? It is not a plan. It is an ultimatum. Palestinians have a right to be at the negotiating table and to determine their destiny. There was no negotiation; no consultation.
They were right to highlight the risk of war criminal Netanyahu scuppering the plan but why would he do so when it is clear it is worded so vaguely and open-endedly and without enforceable guarantees and assurances, that he may at anytime revert to his genocidal ways. Further, what assurance is there that Palestinians will have the right - enjoyed by the Israelis - to defend themselves from further Israeli oppression and violence? What of the illegal settlers?
The "Editorial Board" has no regard for Palestinians and people who have a right to peace, self-determination, self-government, and to their homeland. It is not right for this "Editorial Board" to say: accept the plan for the sake of peace, when there are no assurances the peace will be lasting and that Palestinians will have the same rights as Israelis.
Look below at many reactions from various commentators to this plan. Unlike the "Editorial Board", these commentators are overwhelmingly critical of it.
In typical cowardly fashion, the FT did not allow comments to their article.

US politicians captured by Israeli lobby
credit: Mondoweiss.com
Watch this TYT video about the capture of US politicians by Israeli lobbyists and how these lobbyists use blackmail to destroy US politicians who don't do their bidding and how they shower them with money if they do their bidding. Listen to Gaetz about his mandatory trip to Israel, and note the concern and suspicion that his room was bugged by AIPAC or its agents (spying is something Ted Cruz has admitted about AIPAC or its agents).
Note how one Republican says Republicans each have an AIPAC guy (a "babysitter" and "handler") who always keeps in touch with the politician.
TYT conclude Israel is not an ally of the US because it controls its politicians and that Israel is actually an enemy of the US. Note the analogy to Russia and Germany during previous wars, and Israel. Note the distinction between calling out the Israelis for their genocide of Palestinians and the false accusation of antisemitism.
Note how one politician was "eliminated" for voting against or criticising, Israel. Note that some of the politicians eliminated are Jewish or have Jewish family relations.
Watch this TYT video (06 Oct 2025) in which they expose the vindictiveness of the Israeli lobby when a politician, who took their money, turns against them and Israel, or when they support Palestinians.
It includes a former senator, Nina Turner, who felt their ire because she supported the rights of Palestinians including their right of self-determination. It also highlights politician Ro Khanna for his courageous, and exceptional, defiance of AIPAC and his contempt for a long-time, bought, Democrat, Steny Hoyer (he's received nearly $2m from AIPAC). Read this Politico Aug 2024 article about how the Israeli lobby spends massive amounts to decide who is elected as a politician and who loses. The person who kow towed to the Israeli lobby and won election has been rewarded with at least $4m.
"It is disgusting; it is un-American to allow any foreign agent foreign entity to dictate who will lead in a district in the USA", said Nina Turner (former Senator).
The video also mentions politician Hakim (AIPAC) Jeffries who's taken money from the pr-Israeli lobby. TYT makes the interesting point that these politicians who are pulling away from AIPAC is a calculated step taken to win House Speaker, and that as soon as the media bandwagon moves on from the genocide of Palestine, they'll rush back to take AIPAC money again.
The video also explains why the pro-Israeli lobby is expecially vindictive towards Jews who criticise Israel. Their extra venom is because these critical Jews take away the pro-Israel lobby's 'antisemitism' card they use so often (even when such criticism is clearly not antisemitic) to oppose criticism of Israel. Jews who criticise Israel means the pro-Israel lobby can no longer say they are speaking on behalf of Jews.
"They want to pretend that they're speaking on behalf of Jews, when in reality they're speaking on behalf of a foreign government [Israel]" said Uygur.
Why have so many US politicians been captured by Israel? It seems to me these politicians' subjugation to Israel comes down to money and not any ideology nor any special empathy they have for Israel or Israelis. Money corrupts.
This TYT video of 14 Oct 2025, provides further proof of the infiltration of Jewish influence in US politics and their use of money to bribe and control politicians. Trump knows that's how the system works:. TYT showed his Tweet in 2015 where he said
"Sheldon Adelson is looking to give big dollars to Rubio because he feels he can mold him into his perfect little puppet. I Agree!"
Adelson's widow is a Jew who controls a fortune of $60 BILLION. TYT's Kasparian says of Adelson: "She is the woman who bribed him [Trump] with $100m...in order to essentially get the president to allow Israel to annexe the West Bank" Kasparian added: "Today, that puppet is Donald Trump"
Uygur added: Over three election cycles, the Adelsons have given Trump more than $337m "in legalised bribes", money that the US supreme court says is campaign money.
Trump gave Adelson the presidential medal of freedom, once considered the highest American honour, and he asked her who is she loyal to the most: America or Israel. Adelson did not answer. Kasparian said of Adelson: "She is a good little foot soldier for a foreign government [Israel]..."she loves Israel more than the United States" and she is in the US to bribe politicians and facilitate "the transfer of US taxpayer money from our country to Israel so it may commit atrocities and engage in empire building.'.it's just so utterly loathsome and disgusting."
Uygur says of the mainstream US media - "you're pathetic Israeli propagandists" for not acknowledging and speaking up about the sale of US policy to the Israelis. He does not name any media outlet, though he says he is referring to "everyone in mainstream media".

Why are you a politician if you don't have principles?

Watch a Democrat candidate (Geoff Duncan) squirm as he dodges direct questions about whether he has taken money from Israeli lobby AIPAC (that supports genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians) or will he take their money in future (Trump took hundreds of millions from them)?
This candidate apparently has values, yet he (hypocritically) refuses to say he will not take money from AIPAC. Note how the guy squirms and apparently lies when answering her questions. The quid pro quo for taking lobbyist money is the politician has to do the bidding of the lobbyist that pays them.
This interviewer's direct questions of this candidate about AIPAC and the genocide was replayed across many other channels. See also this video on her pressing him and his lies about AIPAC.

Trump and war criminal Netanyahu's "Gaza Incorporated" "peace plan" is a fake and it stinks
Credit iheart.com
FT.com published an article on 30 Sep 2025 about a peace plan that war criminal Netanyahu has backed. All sounds promising, but note the absence of input or agreement from any Palestinian, and its an ultimatum by these criminals.
To force their plan to be accepted under duress by Hamas and perhaps other Palestinians, the murderous Israelis continues to destroy Palestine and oppress Palestinians in the hope they will surrender and agree to anything to survive. It should also be recognised that Hamas has limited access to communication - computers or 'phones or the internet, yet the Trump-Netanyu plan imposes a very short timeframe to respond - giving Hama 72 hours to release all Israeli hostages.
The plan ignores Palestinians' right to self-determination.
According to the article, Netanyahu said Gaza would be demilitarised and Israel would retain security responsibility, including a security perimeter “for the foreseeable future”. What does this mean in reality? Does it mean Gaza will continue to be under the oppression of Israeli security forces and will Palestinians continue to be confined to living in a concentration camp?
Note there is nothing about forming a Palestinian state, prosecuting Netanyahu for war crimes against Palestinians, removing illegal settlers from occupied Palestinian land, reparations for the deaths and loss of property and land of Palestinians at the hands of Israeli settlers or the murderous Israeli regime.
The presence of Tony Blair on the supervisory panel is disgusting and shameful given his war crimes in the Iraq war. He is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the UK and must be removed from any future plan regarding the Palestinians. Hasan said (06 Oct 2025 1:04:04) of the idea of Blair governing Gaza: "He should be heading to the Hague not to Gaza...he has hundreds of thousands of Arabs' blood on his hands" meaning he is a war criminal who needs to be prosecuted in the Hague. Hasan also said Blair is a self-confessed Israeli guy and he would not consider Palestinians as the equal of Israelis.
It is a relief to see Trump has retreated from his plan to remove Palestinians and turn their land into a Riviera of the Middle East - what a pathetic inconstant person Trump is, but note below. As usual, it is cowardly of the FT to not allow comments to their article, and I told them so.
Watch this Breaking Points video with Jeremy Scahill on the plan underlining that no Palestinians have been involved in the plan. Scahill says Netanyahu does NOT want this plan to be accepted, is willing to sacrifice the Israeli hostages and he is using a fake international peace plan and has managed to get some Arabs to endorse it, but not Palestinians, so he can say "I tried but Hamas said no", and he can then continue his genocide of Palestinians and Trump can start to redevelop Gaza real estate.
Scahill also mentions Trump and his family personally and his allies, stand to profit from Palestinian "real estate", so while the "Riviera" was not mentioned, it will be pursued covertly.
This video interview of Mustafa Barghouti from the Palestinian National Initiative, who says the plan is an ultimatum - without any consultation with Palestinians. No Israeli withdrawal; no guarantee that Israel will not reactivate war at anytime; it refers to the imposition of a foreign body to rule Palestinians including the war criminal, Blair, i.e., to colonial rule.
Watch this video where the speaker, Marwan Bishara, exposes the decades-long committment of the US to Israel and the decades-long oppression by them both of Palestine, i.e., this plan is just another extension of decades-long oppression of Palestinians and Palestinians will not be free to determine their own destiny and will continue to be subjugated to Jews and to foreign powers and to colonialism.
Watch this video with Aaron Mate, expose Netanyahu, again, as a liar. Immediately after accepting the plan with Trump with the English-speaking media, Netanyahu gave a conference in his own language in which he said "we are not withdrawing from Gaza". Note the point that while many states have said they support a Palestinian state, they have done NOTHING tangible to bring that to reality, i.e., just words and no action. The same with this fake plan; it has vague reference to self determination but nothing tangible and concrete and enforceable so again, just words without substance.
Note the point Mate makes about the Palestinian Authority being an Israeli collaborator yet even so, the US refuses its head a visa to enter the US. On the other hand, the US (in the form of Patreus) welcomes, and fawns over the head of Al Qaeda - a group that overthrew Syria's Assad but which, at one time, was the US's enemy and killed US personnel. While this head of Al Qaeda visits the US, his forces are massacring other Syrians. I once looked on this guy as a saviour for Syria - a good guy for overthrowing Assad, but what a danger having a little knowledge is - I now know more of this guy and realise he is also a war criminal and a puppet of the US and that is why they are willing to welcome him - he is under their control. As so often, the Israelis have been either meddling and stirring up trouble, or the US have been doing it on behalf of, or for the benefit of, the Israelis. I am getting the sense that the wars and conflicts of this region are interconnected and they can often be traced back to the US, Israel or the British.
Here is a British view of the fake plan. It mentions the absence of Palestinians and the analogy of Ireland and the IRA. Note the 'concessions' are not actually concessions; they are the norm under international law and morality. Note the absence of guarantees.
Here is another British assessment, and an interview of Palestinian diplomat Afif Safieh, who condemns trump as not being a gentleman. Note Safieh says the plan presented to and agreed with the Arabs was not the same plan that Trump and Netanyahu announced in public, i.e. brazen skull-duggery by Netanyahu and Trump to con Arabs into accepting a plan that is not the real one (which itself is a fake). Safieh recommends Hamas release the hostages in order to deny Netanyahu an excuse to continue his genocide of Palestinians.
Here is a 10-minute 02 Oct 2025 video giving the view of a US academic (Mearsheimer) of the ultimatum by the murderous duo.
In a 06 Oct 2025 Breaking Points video, Scahill gave his take on how the 21-point ultimatum became a 20-point version: He says the 21PU that had been agreed by Nations, was edited by Kushner, Witkoff and Dermer and they created a new map for Israeli withdrawal that would leave Israeli military deep within Gaza even after the Israelis had been released. Scahill said Trump did NOT inform the Nations of these changes. Nations told Hamas this is what these Nations had signed-up for, but they did not denounce the revised plan to Trump. Scahill concludes that either side (Trump and Hamas) each accept the other's offer which was not exactly made, i.e., there is an accepted recognition of greyness to the offers each has made. The point is Hamas and the Nations have not taken a critical stance and denounced the mischief of these three goons who doctored the original 21PU, but went along with a tentative acceptance.
Note Mearsheimer also says it has no input from Palestinians yet it is a plan they are being pressured to accept.
Note his explanation of the original 21-point plan and the 21st point (about not annexing Gaza) that was missing in the publicly-announced 20-point plan, meaning annexation is a possibility, even though Trump has said it won't happen. Note also his suspicion that the Israelis have some damaging information on Trump that is putting him under the Israelis' control.
Note also his comment that the Israeli lobby is "incredibly ruthless" and he says Israel's reputation is destroyed - referring to a recent poll.
A recent poll shows more Americans sided with Palestinians than the Israelis over "the war in Gaza", and "The number of Americans who think Israel is “intentionally” killing civilians also changed drastically, rising from 22% [in Dec 2023] to 40%." The poll also included the views of young people:
"Young People: People aged 18-29, who made up 15% of respondents, overwhelmingly sided against Israel. From this cohort, 61% sympathized more with Palestinians, compared to 19% for Israel, and 69% believed Israel should stop the war, while 19% believed it should continue. 66% believed Israel is intentionally killing civilians."

UN member countries walk out as war criminal Netanyahu begins his UN speech
UN members walkout as Netanyahu begins to speak.
It is a disgrace Netanyahu - wanted for war crimes - should be allowed to step foot on US soil and not be immediately arrested. Instead he is welcomed by Trump. The UN is impotent and a cheap sideshow that lacks respectability, the more so for allowing a war criminal to speak.
Many members had harsh words to say about the murderous Israeli regime's genocide of Palestinians but they are only words, and they won't stop the regime ethnically cleansing Palestinians as they speak. Many members walked out as Netanyahu was about to speak but such snubs also won't stop the regime from continuing its campaign of murder and starvation of Palestinians. Click here to watch the mass walkout and the face of the war criminal as he's being snubbed.

Israeli police arrest and throw grenades at peaceful protestors in Northern Israel
Peaceful protestors in northern Israel
Watch this video of Israeli police use heavy-handed methods to break up a peaceful protest, and how they arrest and throw grenades at peaceful protestors.
Their appalling behaviour contrasts with protests in London, England, many of which I have attended, where police are visible but they do not interfere and they do not harass protestors, who are very vocal and whose placards have emotive language.
Note how the policeman says to a protestor holding up a sign saying "genocide" that there is no genocide, i.e., he actually gives his opinion and challenges the protestor. Another is heard saying the protestors should go to Gaza. Such comments and behaviour is not professional policing; it is politically or racially-motivated interference and harassment.
The video's protagonist is a Jew who decides to speak out against the atrocities being committed by his government and attends the protest by anti-war protestors - a group largely comprised of Arabs. Note his sense of shame at the treatment of these peaceful protestors after they are attacked and dispersed by the Israeli police.
Note also how a man is dragged from his car and the pack of police pounce on him, apparently just because he honked his horn in support of the protestors. In London, cars often honk their horns as they drive by, in support of protestors at the road side who are handing out leaflets or speaking out against the government or local council or a company that is supporting the Israeli regime. Police in the UK do not haul the driver from his car and maul him for honking their horn in support of Palestine.
If these Israeli police are typical of the way police deal with peaceful protestors, then Israel obviously does not allow freedom of speech for anyone who supports the Palestinians.
Their appalling behaviour contrasts with protests in London, England, many of which I have attended, where police are visible but they do not interfere and they do not harass protestors, who are very vocal and whose placards have emotive language.
Note how the policeman says to a protestor holding up a sign saying "genocide" that there is no genocide, i.e., he actually gives his opinion and challenges the protestor. Another is heard saying the protestors should go to Gaza. Such comments and behaviour is not professional policing; it is politically or racially-motivated interference and harassment.
The video's protagonist is a Jew who decides to speak out against the atrocities being committed by his government and attends the protest by anti-war protestors - a group largely comprised of Arabs. Note his sense of shame at the treatment of these peaceful protestors after they are attacked and dispersed by the Israeli police.

Microsoft continues to be the technological backbone for the genocide of Palestinians
Nadella of Microsoft - a key enabler of Israeli oppression of Palestinians
Investigative reporting by the Guardian, +972 magazine, and Local Call, has revealed (in a Guardian article dated 06 Aug 2025) that Microsoft has been supporting the murderous Israeli regime that is committing genocide of Palestinians by giving it access to its cloud storage system, Azure.
"Microsoft claims Nadella [chairman and CE of Microsoft] was unaware of what kind of data Unit 8200 [a unit of the Israeli regime] planned to store in Azure." "A Microsoft spokesperson said it had “no information” about the kind of data stored by Unit 8200 in its cloud" Microsoft also says it has not been aware of "surveillance of civilians or collection of their cellphone conversations using Microsoft’s services" Microsoft's claims are unbelievable.
No person with a modicum of intelligence or concern for their company's reputation, enters into a contract, especially with an oppressive and apartheid Israeli regime, without understanding the nature of the data that regime will be storing on Microsoft's systems.
The exception to not knowing is where Microsoft consciously (deliberately) does not want to know the nature of what the Israelis are doing with Microsoft's systems, to avoid incriminating themselves. Such wilful ignorance by Microsoft is extremely damaging as the investigation by journalists has now revealed.
Israel has long intercepted phone calls in the occupied territories. Microsoft employees have criticised its senior management for their complicity in the Israeli oppression of Palestinians, with one confronting Nadella and saying “How about you show how Israeli war crimes are powered by Azure?”
More than the equivalent of 200 million hours of audio have been stored by the Israelis on Microsoft servers. "intelligence drawn from the enormous repositories of phone calls held in Azure had been used [by the Israelis] to research and identify bombing targets in Gaza."
"Executives anticipated hundreds in millions of dollars in revenue and “an incredibly powerful brand moment” for Azure,". One can imagine Nadella with dollar signs in his eyes and foaming at the mouth over the lucrative multi-year contract with the Israelis. How he and other bigwigs thought a relationship with an oppressive apartheid regime would enhance Microsoft's brand is incredible.
"the information stored in Azure... about its population [Palestinians]...had been used to blackmail people, place them in detention, or even justify their killing after the fact."
Microsoft's complicity exposed
In a 25 Sep 2025 article, the FT said "Microsoft has stopped providing some services to the Israeli military, following an investigation into the use of the company’s products to surveil Palestinian civilians." The move shows how complicit Microsoft has been and that it only backed down from its support of the murderous Israeli regime because investigative reporting had exposed its complicity in the inhumanity perpetrated by the murderous Israeli regime.
However, Microsoft remains complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. “The vast majority of Microsoft’s contract with the Israeli military remains intact,” “Microsoft continues to be the technological backbone for a military that is carrying out the world’s most-documented genocide.”, said Hossam Nasr, an organiser with a group called No Azure for Apartheid

Read my comment here suggesting US farmers donate their surplus soy harvest before it rots, to Palestinians being starved by the murderous Israeli regime.

Write to Britain’s Football Associations to ban Israel from UEFA and FIFA, says PSC
The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC) asked me to sign their letter calling for Israel to be banned from FIFA and UEFA. Their cover letter is reproduced below. Click here to read the letter I submitted on 26 Sep 2025 to the three UK Footbal Associations.
Allowing Israel to remain in international sporting bodies sanitises its horrific oppression of Palestinians, and allows Israel to present itself as a normal country, obscuring the truth that it is carrying out a genocide and imposing a regime of military occupation and apartheid against Palestinians.
The Israel Football Association (IFA) directly participates in Israel’s crimes. It governs on behalf of football clubs based in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank.
In addition, Israeli football clubs have sent “care packages” to Israeli soldiers committing genocide in Gaza and organised videos of club employees serving as Israeli soldiers in Gaza as motivation ahead of matches. Moreover, fan groups of Israeli teams have a long history of racist violence and incitement against Palestinians.
The Football Association, Scottish FA and Football Association of Wales must use their considerable influence to push for Israel to be banned, including calling for the UEFA Executive Committee to be convened to vote on banning Israel.
If UEFA and FIFA do not ban Israel, Britain’s Football Associations should refuse to allow clubs to participate in matches with Israeli teams, such as Aston Villa’s upcoming match with Maccabi Tel Aviv in November.
Momentum is growing. Earlier this week, 7 UN experts called for Israel to be banned from international football, noting that “sporting bodies must not turn a blind eye to grave human rights violations, especially when their platforms are used to normalise injustices.”
Banning Israel from UEFA and FIFA would be a big step towards accountability for Israel’s genocide and increase Israel’s growing isolation on the international stage. But it won’t happen unless we act NOW.

Disgraced ex-PM, Tony Blair, should be repulsed from meddling in Palestinian affairs
War criminal Tony Blair
credit: BBC
Tony Blair, the disgraced ex-PM of the UK is meddling in Palestinian affairs and should be kicked out of touch.
His war crimes in Iraq are testimony to his inhumanity. "the Chilcot Inquiry that confirmed he is a pathological liar. " says Stop the War. In 2022, "a YouGov survey published...found that 63 per cent of Brits disapproved of his knighthood." yet the dishonourable UK honours (small H) system went ahead and knighted this war criminal.
FT.com published an article saying "has been working in an individual capacity for months touting a plan for an international trusteeship to govern Gaza" and "Blair would like to be on the supervisory board."
I believe Blair is liar and a war criminal responsible for the deaths of Iraqis and Brits (see quote below), and he has not paid for his war crimes, and for these reasons, Palestinians must repel him from any involvement in their future.
He continues to meddle in politics and other peoples' affairs when, if he had any shame, he'd crawl underneath a rock and never show his face again in decent society.
Update 25 Oct 2025
This FT.com article on 25/10/2025 shows there has been, not surprisingly, pushback to the idea of Blair running Palestine under the "peace plan", given his appalling record over Iraq. Blair is seen as a spanner in the works who could therefore slowdown or impede progress. “Some countries have issues with him due to his vision or past,”

Why have the murderous Israeli regime's assets not been seized and used to stop its genocide of Palestinians?
FT.com published an article about the EU using the Russian assets it has seized to make a €140bn loan to Ukraine. The aim is to use the Russian assets as a lever to stop its aggression.
I raised the question in my comment of why the same principle has not been used as a lever to stop the Israeli regime's genocide and ethic cleansing and why has its assets have not been seized? Read an extract of my comment below.
After two years of murder, displacement, starvation, and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, no assets of the murderous Israeli regime have been seized. This is in contrast to the seizure of €190 billion of Russian assets in response to its invasion of Ukraine.
This contrast illustrates the double standards of the western elites.

Protest about the aid flotilla to Gaza being bombed by Israelis
On 25 Sep 2025, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, PSC, wrote to me saying: "
"Yesterday Israel again started drone bombing the civilian Global Sumud Flotilla bringing food aid, and especially baby food, to Gaza - this is a war crime! The British government must act now to protect the flotilla and those onboard, and take action to end its complicity in Israel's genocide." They asked me to sign and send their letter to the UK's Foreign Office. Click here to read the PSC letter I signed and submitted.
Spain and Italy send military ships to support their citizens on the flotilla heading for Gaza with supplies of aid for Palestinians.
Reuters reported on 24 Sep 2025: "Italy sent a navy ship to the flotilla's assistance after the vessels were attacked by 12 drones in international waters 30 nautical miles (56 km) off [a Greek island]". The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) which organised the flotilla, said "the attack affected 11 vessels and blamed Israel and its allies for "explosions, unidentified drones and communications jamming," saying it would not be intimidated and would continue to sail." "
Spain's PM, Sanchez, said: "The government of Spain insists that international law be respected and that the right of our citizens should be respected to sail through the Mediterranean in safe conditions,"
It is absolutely inhumane and shameful for the Israeli regime to blockade aid to starving and sick Palestinians, to drop explosives on them and intimidate them as they travel in international waters to help Palestinians, and to accuse them of supporting Hamas.

BNP Paribas underwrites bonds that enable Israeli genocide of Palestinians; now it could finance controversial weapons
BNP Paribas has already tarnished its reputation by financing the genocide of Palestinians by the murderous Israeli regime (it underwrites the regime's sovereign bonds). That activity is dwarfed by four other underwriters: Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Deutsche Bank.
An article in the FT on 25 Sep 2025, revealed that BNP Paribas has changed its policy on financing weapons manufacturers. That policy change could mean it now finances weapons it refused to finance under its old policy. If it does start, then BNP Paribas will go down even farther in my estimation. Read my FT comment here.

Financial Times again shows its bias
The pompously-named "Editorial Board" of the FT published its view on 23 Sep 25 that again shows their unwillingness to expose the extent of the atrocities committed by the murderous Israeli regime, and the FT board uses more emotive language when talking about Hamas's atrocities than when talking of the atrocities perpetrated by the Israelis:
"Hamas for its horrific October 7 2023 attack,"
"condemnation of Hamas and its despicable treatment of Israeli hostages"
"Growing numbers of experts have since concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, while the Palestinian death toll has soared past 65,000, according to local health officials."
"Israeli bombs and bulldozers have rendered Gaza uninhabitable, destroying the very fabric of society in the strip."
The FT failed to mention the numerous atrocities perpetrated by, and the inhumanity of, the Israeli regime
The FT failed to mention the policy of the regime of starving to death Palestinians
The FT failed to mention the famine the regime has unleashed on Palestinians.
The FT failed to mention the deliberate murders of Palestinians trying to get food from GHF aid sites.
The FT failed to say, themselves, that they join with the many organisations who say the Israelis are committing genocide of the Palestinians.
The FT failed to join with others and say the Israelis are committing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
The FT failed to say the Israelis are operating an apartheid state and concentration camp.
The FT failed to say the regime is murdering their own kind, journalists, and denying entry of foreign journalists.
The FT failed to say the regime has targetted health workers and hospitals.
The FT failed to say the regime has denied water and electricity to Palestinians
The FT has shown that it is reserved in its coverage of the extent of the atrocities perpetrated by the Israeli regime and its language about the regime is relatively mild whereas it is intense when it speaks of Hamas.

Michael Gove says Israel is not committing a genocide in Palestine. Audience booh as he leaves the stage
Watch this video of Gove utter those shameful words (at 7.00 mins) and also this continuation of the debate (here). Note how Gove instead of condemning the murder by Israelis of Palestinians by starvation or as they try to get food or water and instead of saying that is unacceptable or inhumane, he instead goes on a rant about how Israel is the only democracy in the middle east and how countries over the millennia have tried to erase the Jews and he expresses his unwavering support for "Israel".
Rightly, Gove was booed as he left the stage - he put on a disgusting show of inhumanity and denial of what many, including experts, say is a genocide in Palestine.

British elites grovel to genocide enabler, Trump, on his visit to England, and they choose trade over humanity
The FT "Editorial Board" (what a pompous title) gave their feedback in an article on 19 Sep 2025 to the visit by the lowlife, Donald Trump, to England and the pomp and ceremonial treatment he was given by the British monarch, Charles. It seems the grovelling was designed to keep the lowlife on their side and to get favourable terms of trade with the UK.

UK Labour politicians are also two-faced
Cr: Gordon Johnson (Pixabay)
bour politicians are complicit in the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by their continued support for the murderous Israeli regime and their attack on Palestine Action and for their failure to agree with so many others, that the Israelis are committing genocide of Palestinians.
To illustrate how some Labour politicians are also two-faced, the FT published (in Jul 2024) the remarks of senior Labour politicians about Trump that they uttered BEFORE Trump was re-elected for a second term. These are the same people (Lammy, Starmer, Cooper and others) who now sing to a very diferent tune about the same lowlife, Trump. Now they are in government and have to deal directly with Trump and because they want to make money and keep in power, they show a very different face and say very different things about him, at least in public. This two-faced attitude, is exemplified by the words of a Labour spokesperson:
“The Labour government will always...work positively with all US administrations on our two nation’s shared endeavours...As part of the special relationship, Labour figures have always maintained close relationships with their counterparts from both parties."
This is what Labour politicians said about Trump:
Angela Rayner “The violence that Donald Trump has unleashed is terrifying, and the Republicans who stood by him have blood on their hands.” (2021)
Lammy
"a “serial liar and a cheat” who was also “deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic and . . . no friend of Britain” " (2019)
“Trump is not only a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath, he is also a profound threat to the international order.” (2018)
In May 2024, Lammy changed his tune when asked about his past comments about Trump. Instead of upholding them, he instead said:
“You’re going to struggle to find any politician in the western world who hasn’t had things to say in response to Donald Trump.”
Starmer
“[he] has to take responsibility” for the incident, (regarding the mobs who attacked the Congress after Biden's 2020 election)
Yvette Cooper
“We are marching because the most powerful man in the [US] thinks it’s OK to grab women ‘by the pussy’.” (during a women's march in 2017).
In 2017, Cooper "argued against the British government giving Trump a state visit with its ceremonial “endorsement”."
Ed Miliband
“The idea that we have shared values with a racist, misogynistic, self-confessed groper beggars belief.” (2016)
an “absolute moron” (2017)
Miliband castigated “his racist attacks . . . his lies, his admiration for dictators”. (2018)
Jo Stevens
a “racist, sexist, sharer of extremist ideology, a serial liar and a cheat”. (2019)
Wes Streeting
"Trump is such an odious, sad, little man. Imagine being proud to have that as your President." (2017)
Hilary Benn
“Here are two people [Boris Johnson and Trump] who are trying to trash our institutions and our democracy in the process” (2023)
"President Trump failed to think of future generations when he made this awful decision." (2017)
Steve Reed
"...because it's a full-time job for someone to explain why everything he [Trump] says is positively insane." (link) (unsure of the date)
"President Trump, a terrifying day for the world and for everyone who values democracy and freedom" (2016)

Thousands protest at Trump's visit to the UK
A great turn out today (17 Sep 2025) to protest against the visit by genocide enabler, Donald Trump to England. See the 200+ photos below of the many many messages from protestors to and about Trump. Click on each image to show its details then click on the X in the top right corner to close the image.
What is very conspicuous about a significant percentage of the messages on this protest march, is the extremely explicit or offensive words said to or about Trump, and some I chose not to photograph. The words used are understandable and even excusable given they reflect the seedy and lecherous nature of this lowlife.
What was also evident today was the variety of interest groups who participated and had something to say to Trump: Ukraine, Palestine, climate change, racism, asylum, immigration and more. I noticed people were not only UK citizens but I think some were Americans and some were from Europe.
The march was completely peaceful and it was very well organised. The police were present in large numbers but they stayed out of the way, on the sidelines mostly and not a single incident or scuffle at all, not even a conversation with protestors.
I am pleased there were no incidents and a little surprised given the language used on some placards aimed directly at Trump. It was such a contrast to the hundreds of peaceful protestors who were arrested at the recent rally at the same location, just because they wrote on a piece of paper that they support Palestine Action.
There was not as much chanting of slogans as heard on marches in support of Palestine, though there was a band of trumpeters trumpetting away. There were also some people in fancy dress which
gave the event a carnival and jolly atmosphere. The message however was very serious and was made loudly, graphically, and clearly: Trump is a lowlife, he is disliked intensely and he is not welcome on English soil.
I alighted at Hanover Square and walked up to Oxford Street and was pleasantly surprised to see the protestors in large numbers walking towards Piccadilly and Regents Street.

gave the event a carnival and jolly atmosphere. The message however was very serious and was made loudly, graphically, and clearly: Trump is a lowlife, he is disliked intensely and he is not welcome on English soil.
I alighted at Hanover Square and walked up to Oxford Street and was pleasantly surprised to see the protestors in large numbers walking towards Piccadilly and Regents Street.
Trump: you're not welcome in England!

Trump's state visit to England on 17 Sep 2025 would be a gift to the genocide enablers in government and rolling out the red carpet for him would give legitimacy to everything he represents - above all, his complicity in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians by the murderous Israeli regime.
Here's my post on 16 Sep 2025 on FT.com about Trump being hosted by the English monarch:
“While this monarch is entertaining an American low-life, his Israeli partner in crime, Netanyahu, will be murdering, starving to death, or forcibly removing Palestinian men, women, and children.
If the British monarch had any moral fibre and humanity, he'd tell Trump he's complicit in Palestinian genocide and ethnic cleansing and not welcome in England."

Revealed: why the UK government supports the Israelis' genocide of Palestinians
Trevor Chinn - the pro-Israeli lobbyist who
funds UK politicians
UK investigative journalism group, Declassified, published this 9-min video (in Aug 2025) exposing UK Labour party's close links with the long-established pro-Israeli lobbyist, Trevor Chinn (he is known to have lobbied John Major's government in the 90s).
The video shows how Chinn has donated £thousands over the years to many UK politicians, including £50,000 to Starmer to help him become leader of the Labour party. That donation was not disclosed until after Starmer's victory.
Confirming the secretive nature of meetings being held between UK politicians and Israeli lobbyists, which should have been disclosed but were not, Declassified revealed secret meetings between Chinn and Lammy and between Chinn and Middle East minister, Falconer - neither of which were disclosed in transparency data. It took a Freedom of Information request from Declassified for the Foreign Office to say the meeting with Lammy had taken place, but they also said no minutes were recorded.
Chinn "helped to bankroll the Labour Together think tank, which was launched in 2016 in order to “defeat Corbynism” according to this article by Declassified.
Any UK citizen should have a right to speak to a UK politician; after all, politicians are public servants and in office to serve UK citizens. The problem, of course, is that as soon as people start giving money to speak to politicians, there is a conflict of interest and a moral hazard: will the politician favour the payer and in so doing, breach their duty to their country and their citizens? Is the payment in effect a bribe?
Declassified revealed in a Jun 2024 article that a staggering 180 UK politicians have taken money from pro-Israeli lobbyists over the period 1999-2024. The list can be viewed here.
"it’s clear that much of the British political elite remains in bed with the Zionist movement even as Israel perpetrates an ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza...these [pro-Israel lobby] groups’ close ties to the Israeli government and dire lack of transparency about their funding highlight the way Israel’s brutal settler-colonial violence also exposes our own democratic deficit”. Hil Aked, author of the book Friends of Israel: The Backlash Against Palestine Solidarity,
Knowing that the pro-Israeli lobbyists have infiltrated the UK politicial system to the highest levels of government, explains why the UK government continues to support the murderous Israeli regime in its campaign of genocide and straving to death and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Every one of these disgusting politicians are complicit in those crimes against humanity.

A collage of short films by Palestinians of life under siege
Available for viewing in cinemas from 12 Sep 2025, "From Ground Zero is an extraordinary time capsule, an urgent response to an ongoing catastrophe, and an artist’s call to bear witness to a crime scene. "
The film "captures the diverse experiences of life in the Palestinian enclave, including the challenges, tragedies and moments of resilience faced by its people...[a collage of 3-6 minute films that] presents a rich diversity of stories that reflect the sorrow, joy and hope inherent in Gazan life."
The film was pulled on political grounds from the Cannes Film Festival in 2024 by the Festival's organisers, so the film's director "held a screening via projection outside the festival grounds in protest."
Watch the trailer here or here (Arabic with English subtiles, 112 mins)

Jerry Seinfeld, the Jewish has-been comedian, is a sick joke
Has-been comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, has said on camera: "I don't care about Palestine". A very heartless thing to say when Palestinian children are being deliberately starved to death and tens of thousands of Palestinians have been murdered by the Israeli regime.
In another video clip, from Oct 2024, he's seen saying, with a beaming smile and a raised fist (see image opposite): "let's go IDF" - at a time when the Israeli regime had committed atrocities against Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
On another occasion, when he was introducing one of the Jewish hostages captured then freed by Hamas, he said: "Free Palestine is, to me, just - you're free to say you don't like Jews. Just say you don't like Jews." Seinfeld also said "By saying Free Palestine, you're not admittting what you really think. So it's actually - compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I'm actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here because they can come right out and say, 'We don't like Blacks, we don't like Jews'. OK, that's honest."
I find his line of thought puzzling.
How on earth can he equate freeing Palestine with disliking Jews? They are not the same. Palestinians have a right to self-determination and to be free and to be free has nothing to do with liking or disliking Jews. They are two completely separate points and in no way are they connected, so Seinfeld is totally mistaken.
On his second quote, it seems Seinfeld does not believe 'Free Palestine' means just that and only that. He seems fixated on believing 'Free Palestine' is code for 'We don't like Jews' and so he thinks KKK is better than people who say 'Free Palestine' because KKK openly admits and says what they think - 'we don't like Jews'. Again, Seinfeld is mistaken. Saying 'Free Palestine' means nothing in relation to liking Jews or disliking Jews. It simply means what it says 'Free Palestine' and so people who say 'Free Palestine' are admitting and saying what they think and they are being transparent with their thoughts.
Seinfeld appears to be one of those pitiable people who have a fixation that overpowers their rational thought. He could have used his popularity and influence to call for an end to the genocide of Palestinians by the Israeli regime, as many Jews have done. He has done the opposite by admitting he doesn't care about Palestine and supporting the IDF.
Watch the clips here on a The Young Turks podcast. TYT concluded their podcast on Seinfeld by saying "he's a terrible, despicable, immoral person."

Organiser must ban Israelis from the Eurovision song contest
Protests against Israel ahead of May 2025's Eurovision song contest
Upto 44 countries participate in the contest annually. Of these, just 4 have threatened to boycott the contest in 2026 if the Israelis compete: Ireland, Spain, Netherlands, and Slovenia, according this article on 12 Sep 2025.
Shame on the other 40 countries that have ignored the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis, the starving to death of Palestinians by the regime, and murdering the Palestinians as they desperately try to get food.
Shame too on the organiser, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), if it decides to allow the Israelis to compete in the 2026 contest.
Yet again, westerners show their double-standards: EBU banned Russia from competing because of its invasion of Ukraine, yet it allowed the Israelis to compete even though its murderous regime had committed genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and used starvation of Palestinians as a weapon of war.
Ireland's broadcaster said: taking part in the contest if Israel did not withdraw would be “unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza”.
Click here to read my email complaining to the EBU about their double-standards.
The Israeli foreign ministry had this to say: "“The detached elites in those countries that call for a cultural boycott against Israel in the Eurovision are injecting politics into culture and antisemitism into music,”
Note how it described the boycott as being antisemitic when it is a boycott againt the inhumanity of humans to fellow humans. Race or religion are not relevant to the call for a boycott of the Israelis, but the Israelis use the opportunity to call it antisemitic and portray themselves as the victim instead of the predator.
It should also be remembered that Israelis dehumanise Palestinians (see posts below for dfetails of the inhuman terms they have used when talking of or about Palestinians).
A country calling for a boycott for the inhumanity perpetrated by another country, is hypocritical when the former has committed crimes against humanity. I am not aware that any one of the four countries who have spoken out in this case are hypocrits - I presume they are not.

Metropolitan police: arrest Herzog for war crimes
Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) requested I write to the Met Police telling them to arrest Herzog (see his image in post below) for war crimes. Click here to read the letter I sent on 10 Sep 2025.
Herzog should be arrested for war crimes not welcomed by Starmer
Herzog. Click his image to watch a video protesting against his visit to the UK and the atrocities being committed by the Israeli regime
It is absolutely disgusting that the UK government should allow Herzog, to step on UK soil given the facts about him.
ICJP (an independent organisation of lawyers, politicians and academics who support the rights of Palestinians ) wrote to Scotland Yard’s War Crimes Unit (SO15) on 07 Sep 2025:
"Herzog is suspected of bearing criminal liability for alleged war crimes, crimes against humanity, torture, and actions that constitute plausible genocide contrary to the Criminal Justice Act, the Geneva Conventions Act 1957, and the International Criminal Court (ICC) Act 2001.
ICJP calls for his investigation and interview, noting that diplomatic immunity would not preclude SO15 from interviewing him and otherwise investigating him, in compliance with the UK’s international and domestic obligations." Read their press release in full, here.

Lammy's cunning support for the Israelis
Read below the fake concern expressed by Lammy for civilians and note that he does not admit the civilians are "Palestinians".
Note in the next sentence how Lammy calls on the Israelis to "do much more to prevent and alleviate the suffering that this conflict is causing." i.e., Lammy does NOT admit the Israelis are the ones causing the suffering, and perversely, he says the opposite: he implies that the Israelis are actually trying to prevent the suffering, and he says the Israelis "must do much more to prevent" it.
It is utterly disgusting of Lammy to craft his words so cunningly to portray the Israelis as the goodies who are trying to prevent suffering and to implore them to do more to prevent the suffering they are causing. The reality is, and has been since Oct 2023, that the Israelis are causing the suffering - the genocide of Palestinians, starving them to death, and forcibly displacing them from their land and their homes.
Lammy will go down in history as complicit in the genocide of Palestinians and a supporter of the Israeli regime. He is a disgrace and unfit for decent society, let alone government.

Lammy's words. source: SkyNews
Is the UK govt. inept or deliberately causing confusion over the genocide of Palestinians by Israelis?
source: Amnesty International
According to Sky News (09 Sep 2025) A spokesperson for the UK govt says: "We've always said that it's for the international court to make these determinations [on genocide], and that has not been made," yet Lammy has written in a letter that "the crime of genocide occurs only where there is specific 'intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.' "The government has not concluded that Israel is acting with that intent." [Read the full letter by Lammy, here.]
The spokesperson said of Lammy's letter, that it: "reflects the UK's position that we've not come to any conclusion as to whether genocide has or has not been committed in Gaza, that's been our longstanding position".
The UK government, especially Starmer, Cooper, and Lammy, is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians by the murderous Israeli regime. The government has cunningly chosen to avoid declaring that the genocide is a genocide and instead it sits on the fence by saying that it refuses to say genocide is being committed by the Israelis or it is not. The cunning result of that position is it allows the UK government to continue to support, militarily and politically, the murderous Israeli regime.
Amnesty International issued a press release on 09 Sep 2025 about the UK government's denial of genocide by Israelis (see extract below).

Remembering six-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab from Gaza City
Watch this short video chronicling the last moments of the life of a six-year old Palestinian child who was the sole survivor in a car after her family (also in the car) had been murdered by the Israelis. Hind was in telephone contact with a relief agency that sent two aid workers to rescue her. Her rescuers got to within 50m of Hind but were murdered by the Israelis. Two weeks later, Hind was found, dead, beside her dead family, in the car.

06 Sep 2025 Lift the Ban rally in Parliament Square, London
Once again, UK police arrested many people for protesting against the proscription of Palestine Action.
The arrests today (06 Sep) follow the arrests of spokespeople of Defend our Juries (organisers of the protest today) just before these spokespeople were to give their press conference. To watch the DoJ press conference, click here. It is interesting for a) exposing the shameful misinformation tactics used by Yvette Cooper and by Starmer regarding Palestine Action, and b) for the two-tier policing strategy that operates in the UK - where one group of protestors are arrested (supporters of Palestine Action) yet another group (UK farmers) are untouched when they protest.
Use the Experimentalist link below to watch several hours of live recording of the events in Parliament Square on 06 September The image of Big Ben at around 8pm illustrates the protest and arrests continued for many hours, racking up massive costs to the taxpayer for which the UK (Labour) government is entirely to blame. Images of elderly people being picked up and carried away by several police officers is a shameful sight and black mark on the credibility and decency of the UK government. This proscription should not have happened.
The people who courageously stepped up to the plate and risked arrest are to be applauded as heroes. Starmer and Cooper will go down in history as villains of the peace and complicit in the genocide of Palestinians as a result of their support of the murderous Israeli regime.
There are many videos covering this rally. One that stands out for its appalling misinformation is by the media company, CNN that is called "Palestine Action Protest | Police Fires Tear Gas & Water Cannons; 150 Protesters Arrested" (link). It says police fired "tear gas & water cannons". Neither one is true and so CNN is telling lies. Why would it do that? Who is its funder?

UK councillors: stop supporting genocide by Israelis of Palestinians. Divest your £billions in companies complicit in genocide
Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) have asked activists to write to their local council to divest in companies supporting the Israeli regime in its genocide of Palestinians. Watch PSC's short video on their campaign, here (turn on the speaker to listen). Click here to read the letter I signed and sent to councillors on -2 Sep 2025.
Defend our Juries spokespeople arrested for supporting Palestine Action
Tim Crosland-DoJ spokesperson
Crosland (pictured) is one of the leading figures of the Defend our Juries organisation, an organisation that campaigns for freedom of speech, and for Palestine Action-the organisation shamefully proscribed by the UK government as a terrorist organisation.
Because of that unjust label, Crosland and four colleagues were arrested on 02 Sep 2025 by UK police on: "suspicion of encouraging support for a proscribed organisation, contrary to section 12 of the Terrorism Act." according to the article on 02 Sep in FT.com
Crosland and the hundreds of people who courageously courted arrest by supporting Palestine Action, should be lauded as national heroes but instead the shameful Labour government brands them criminals, and wastes public money arresting and prosecuting them. Such heavy-handed and unjust treatment is an abuse of political power by Yvette Cooper and Keir Starmer.

What does Defend our Juries stand for?
Watch this video interview of Defend our Juries spokesperson, Paddy Friend, and read this article, exposing the judge (Silas Reid) who banned people in court from saying "climate crisis" and "fuel poverty" - and so in effect he banned them from explaining why they were in court.
DoJ is actively trying to support the right of jurors to exercise their absolute right to make their decision based on their conscience.
Watch this short video of Paddy Friend of DoJ being arrested under the Terrorism Act for supporting Palestine Action. Note, the arrest was on 02 Sep 2025, just days before the 06 Sep rally organised by DoJ in support of Palestine Action. Was this arrest of Friend and his DoJ colleagues, timed by nefarious organisations to scupper the DoJ's 06 Sep rally?

Peter Laverty arrested for wearing a T shirt saying: "Genocide in Palestine time to take action"
Watch this video of Laverty addressing a rally in Scotland and then being arrested. Note the way he was grabbed and carted off by the two members of the police force, and note they did not tell Laverty BEFORE grabbing him, why they had physically grabbed him. Laverty might therefore have grounds for assault by these two.
Note also the guy from the police force who threatened to seize the 'phone of the person who was filming Laverty being carted off in the police van, and told him to stop filming. This threat to seize property of a person being arrested and an instruction to stop filming, are suspicious and they are in stark contrast to the filming of police arresting hundreds of people at the Parliament Square rallky on 06 Sep 2025 and in August. Perhaps the police do things differently in Scotland, but such behaviour by these people appears to be abuses of police power and malpractice.
The video later shows Laverty explaining the context of his speech before he was arrested and the need to protest against the proscription and he also exposes the failure of the UK government to abide by the Geneva convention regarding genocide.
Watch this short video after Laverty was arrested and charged with terrorism, and then released. It seems he was arrested and charged for supporting a proscribed organisation on the basis of his T short having the words Palestine and Action and in a font size that was larger than the rest of the words on his T shirt, and so the allegation against him is, I suppose, he was supporting Palestine Action. See the image below of Laverty wearing his T shirt and being arrested.
It will be interesting to see whether the charge is upheld, and whether Laverty will sue the police for assault.
Note also the guy from the police force who threatened to seize the 'phone of the person who was filming Laverty being carted off in the police van, and told him to stop filming. This threat to seize property of a person being arrested and an instruction to stop filming, are suspicious and they are in stark contrast to the filming of police arresting hundreds of people at the Parliament Square rallky on 06 Sep 2025 and in August. Perhaps the police do things differently in Scotland, but such behaviour by these people appears to be abuses of police power and malpractice.
The video later shows Laverty explaining the context of his speech before he was arrested and the need to protest against the proscription and he also exposes the failure of the UK government to abide by the Geneva convention regarding genocide.
Watch this short video after Laverty was arrested and charged with terrorism, and then released. It seems he was arrested and charged for supporting a proscribed organisation on the basis of his T short having the words Palestine and Action and in a font size that was larger than the rest of the words on his T shirt, and so the allegation against him is, I suppose, he was supporting Palestine Action. See the image below of Laverty wearing his T shirt and being arrested.
It will be interesting to see whether the charge is upheld, and whether Laverty will sue the police for assault.
The world's leaders allow the Israeli regime to continue to starve to death and murder, Palestinians
Desperation on the faces of Palestinian children fighting starvation and death at the hands of the murderous Israeli regime.

The arabs are siding with the West and the Israelis, not with the Palestinians or the Yemenis
Watch this 01 Sep 2025 video of Marandi discussing Palestine and Yemen, including the attitude of many arab countries, including Turkey, towards Palestine and Yemen. and towards the western countries.
See this recent video by UK MP George Galloway in which he discusses the Israeli regime's murder of 400 family members of the Yemeni prime minister while trying to murder him and his cabinet and advisers in an air raid. Note Galloway's point that such murders by the Israelis are insane, because such acts will not be forgotten by relatives and such barbarity will feed and nurture future generations of martyrs seeking revenge on the Israelis.
Galloway also mentions the threat of an Iranian retaliation (which it may under law) against the murderous Israeli regime's bombing of Iran, aided and abetted by the US and the west and by numerous arab countries.
Galloway provides another example of the absence of media coverage in the west of middle eastern affairs except when it serves western interests.

Yet another organisation, this time the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), has concluded that the murderous Israeli regime is guilty of war crimes including genocide, starvation, and displacement of civilians. See the image below (an extract from the IAGS notice) of the many other organisations that have reached the same conclusion.
Click here to read the damning resolutions passed by the IAGS on 31 Aug 2025.
A pity it took IAGS so long to acknowledge the war crimes, but it will take longer for the complicity of the US and other western countries in funding, arming, and supporting the murderous regime of Netanyahu to end.
Read this appalling article by FT.com (01 Sep 2025) that favours the Israeli regime. It describes the genocide in relation to Israel's "conflict against Hamas" when it is obvious the Israeli regime is at war with Palestinian civilians. The article also says Gaza City "is in the grip of famine" without saying that famine is man-made - by the murderous Israeli regime.

EC President von der Leyen is embelmatic of the west's double standards and hypocrisy over Palestinians' human rights
Click here to read a good summary published by FT.com 29 Aug 2025 about the EU's hypocrisy and the fact that it's not doing enough to stop the murderous Israeli regime from perpetrating genocide of Palestinians.
Ribera (EC vice-president) is right to say history will not forget the EU's inaction, and I will include the shameful inaction of the EC head, Ursula von der Leyen. Read (pictured). See, for example, this 2023 staff letter from the website of ftm.eu, in which "[European] Commission staff criticised von der Leyen for ignoring the suffering of Palestinian civilians." and this 2024 article about David Cronin calling von der Leyen a criminal and charging her with aiding genocide.
von der Leyen should know, her pathetic and impotent words expressing her horror at what the Israelis are doing to Palestinians, won't make the murderous regime stop its genocide. In July 2025, she was reported in Politico as uttering: “The images from Gaza are unbearable,” and “Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long. It must stop now.” Hollow and insincere words that achieve nothing except confirm her support for the Israeli regime and her complicity in the Israeli regime's genocide and forced starvation to death of Palestinians.
Tangible and effective ACTION against the Israeli regime is needed from von der Leyen and it was needed YEARS AGO. I believe von der Leyen will go down in history as an inhumane person who did not do anything to stop the genocide and forced starving to death of Palestinians.

"(ab)Normal" Israelis have no remorse over murdering Palestinians, including babies
Watch this video by The Young Turks (TYT) (at time stamp around 20 mins) of videos showing Israelis laughing and without any sense of humanity when asked about the murder of Palestinians including babies. Click on the images below to read captions of what these Israelis told the Palestinian interviewer.
TYT say the views and attitudes of Israelis in these videos represent the vast majority of Israelis polled.
How can Israelis exhibit such inhumanity about Palestinian life, especially when their ancestors were on the receiving end of the same inhumanity practised on them by Nazis in wartime Germany?
I think the normalisation of such attitudes in Israeli society is because Israelis are indoctrinated (brainwashed) from an early age to regard Palestinians as animals (not humans) and so slaughtering them is not the same as slaughtering a human. By dehumanising them, Israelis believe it is acceptable to deny Palestinians the same rights to life as humans, and to regard Palestinians as inferior beings. Clearly, once brainwashed, Israelis have no feelings of compassion, humanity, or decency that a free-thinking, impartial, human being would have towards another human being.
These are the same attitudes experienced by blacks enslaved by whites, and other people that white supremacists regarded as "savages",

Palestinian condemns western media for its complicity in Israeli regime's genocide
Watch this 25 Aug 2025 video of Palestinian Ahmed Najar (pictured) emotionally condemn western media, notably the BBC, for not calling the Israeli regime's genocide a genocide. Note how he exposes the double-standards of the western media for calling the Rwanda genocide years before that was official, yet western media refuses to call the genocide by the Israelis a genocide when it is patently obvious that is the reality, and when more lives have been taken by the Israelis.
Note how the LBC interviewer uses the excuse of airing both points of view, even though the Israeli regime has been shown to be liars and the evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of what the Palestinians and many others are saying - the Israelis are deliberately targetting media personnel.
Why are journalists being murdered? So the world will not see and read first-hand accounts from journalists on the frontline of the genocide and atrocities the Israelis are committing. Note, the regime already do not allow international journalists into Gaza.
Imagine the stories these murdered journalists would have told of the genocide and atrocities. Around 240 journalists have been murdered in 2 years by the Israeli regime, an unprecedented number, confirming that they have been targetted deliberately.

Oasis's Gallagher gives his foul-mouthed opinion on Palestine flags at music festivals
Seeing the support of many artists for Palestinians, I decided to see if the pop band called Oasis showed similar support for Palestine. Not a bit according to this post on Twitter in 2024 (see below).
Apparently, foul-mouthed Noel Gallagher doesn't like people making political statements at festivals. Not sure he's right to say waving a Palestinian flag is a political statement - more a statement in support of humanity and defiance against the inhumanity of the Israeli regime. Perhaps he's a Tory or a Zionist? He's entitled to his opinion but I don't think much of it nor him.

KKR-backed festival organiser gags folk band on stage for supporting Palestine
Irish folk band, The Mary Wallopers, had their stage sound cut off by the organiser (a KKR company) as they chanted "Free Palestine". It was disgraceful censorship and denial of the band's right to free speech. Several bands have shown their support for the band by withdrawing from the festival.
The organiser dug itself a deeper hole by claiming (with considerable hypocrisy) that it supported bands' right to express their views on stage.
Palestine activists have targetted KKR companies because of its links to Israel. Note the biased reporting by the FT journo, Daniel Thomas where he claims the Israeli regime is as war with Hamas when it is clear the regime is at war with ordinary and innocent Palestinians, because they are the ones the regime is murdering and starving to death. I objected to that biased reporting by sending an email to the FT. Read it here.

Charles Kushner's warped mind
Convicted felon. Charles Kushner
Convicted felon who served a custodial sentence, Charles Kushner, was pardoned and given the role of US ambassador to France, by Trump. Not a single Democrat voted for him, except Cory Booker (read more about this guy below).
Kushner "expressed his gratitude" to Trump with $1m donation to Trump's campaign. This guy is also the father of Trump's son-in-law. Nepotism is another hallmark of an autocrat and it helps ensure money keeps flowing into the the family's coffers -the family's wealth is up 400% to over $7 BILLION since Trump first became president.
What's Kushner got to do with Palestinians?
1 He is a staunch supporter of fellow criminal, Netanyahu, and he's been tasked by Trump to gag Macron's vocal criticism “about Israeli excesses in Gaza,”
2 Kushner's mind is warped because he equates anti-zionism to antisemitism (see his quote below from a 25 Aug 2025 FT.com article). See and read the placards held by Jews that clearly show zionism and judaeism are fundamentally very different terms.

Nelson Mandela stood with Palestinians
Nelson Mandela was on the side of Palestinians. Click on his photo to see him in 1990 (when apartheid still existed in South Africa) talking of his support for Palestine and standing his ground and refusing to side with the Israelis against Palestine.
Read the text below about the video and his interview and his support for Palestine and Arafat. See below for some of his comments during his interview that confirm his position regarding Palestine.
Imagine his outrage and condemnation if he were alive to witness the barbarity of the Israeli regime, and the complicity of the US and the Europeans in the genocide, famine, and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Protest outside Jewish embassy, London 22 Aug 2025
Disgusting Israeli regime uses starving to death as a war strategy. Rightly so, protestors outside its embassy in London condemned it for its humanity. Click on the image below to watch a short clip of the protest. Unfortunately, I did not attend on this occasion.
I posted a comment (extract shown below) on 24 Aug 2025 to a FT.com article where I highlighted the hypocrisy of Peter Navarro (who wrote a piece in the FT) regarding India's funding of Putin by buying its oil, when the US government funds and arms the murderous Israeli regime:
Boycott Barclays bank: it's complicit in the genocide of Palestinians
Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC) sent me an email on 22 Aug 2025 to join protests on 23 Aug 2025 at branches of Barclays bank. Unfortunately, I did not see it until the evening on 23 Aug. I have in the past joined the protest outside Barclays branch on Uxbridge Road in Ealing Broadway. Click on the image to see a video clip on Twitter of activists protesting at one of Barclays' branches (unmute the audio).
Read below the call by PSC to protest about Barclays' complicity in genocide of Palestinians by the Israeli regime.

Ealing Council: stop your complicity in genocide of Palestinians and divest now!
Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC) sent me an email on 20 Aug 2025 asking me to write to London borough of Ealing to tell them to divest. Their letter to Ealing included:
"...research by Palestine Solidarity Campaign has found that most LGPS [Local Government Pension Scheme] funds hold shares in companies complicit in Israel's violations of international law, including companies supplying Israel with weapons and military technology used in its devastating attacks on Palestinians. The research has found that Ealing Pension Fund has investments in complicit companies of £112,896,000.
PSC's research has also identified that LGPS funds hold investments in companies providing technology and equipment used to maintain Israel’s illegal military occupation, such as its checkpoints and the apartheid wall, and companies conducting business activity in Israel’s illegal settlements, based on stolen Palestinian land.
I urge you to take immediate measures to divest the pension fund from companies complicit in Israel’s grave violations of Palestinian rights." The full text of the letter I signed and sent, can be seen here

Rulers of muslim countries are complicit in the genocide of Palestinians by the Israeli regime
Have you ever wondered why muslims are not helping their fellow muslims and neighbours, the Palestinians?
Why have they not used their military or economic powers to force an end to the Israeli regime's oppression of Palestinians for decades, and why they do nothing to stop the regime's genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians?
Watch this Jun 2025 video by DoubleDown News and Lowkey exposing the muslim countries that are supporting the genocide of Palestinians by the Israeli regime.
Egypt is extorting money from Gazans desperate to flee from Gaza, and it is also physically preventing them from fleeing or preventing aid from getting through to Palestinians.
Jordan has facilitated the interception of Iran's drones enroute to Israel. It has also helped the Israeli regime bypass the Yemeni naval blockade and facilitated a land bridge.
Kushner's Affinity Partners (AP) invests in Israel with funds from Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar. AP partly owns Phoenix, which invests in Elbit Systems - a supplier of drones that bomb Gaza and the West Bank. Phoenix also funds the building of illegal settlements in the West Bank.
UAE state-owned arms firm, Edge Group, partnered with an Israeli firm to develop weapons. Edge Group owns 30% of the shares in Israeli defence company, ThirdEye. G42 a UAE company has a joint venture with state-owned Israeli company, Raphael. Elbit Systems has a subsidiary in UAE. UAE firm Mubadala owns 11% of the Israeli gas field operated by the Israelis in occupied Palestine.
The Saudis, Pakistanis, and UAE use Cellebrite (an Israeli firm) security surveillance systems to hack the 'phones of their own citizens. Pegasus software supplied by NSO Group (an Israeli company) was used to hack the 'phone of a Saudi dissident murdered by the Saudis. Israeli companies are involved in the Indonesian security system.
Weapons for the Israeli regime have flown from the US base in Qatar and from Kuwait, to occupied Palestine, to commit genocide.
Turkey has used its land to train Israeli pilots in target bombing, skills they have deployed in the genocide of Palestinians.
Dorad Energy (an Israeli company that supplies electricity to the Israeli regime's military) has a close friend of Turkey's Erdogan as the company's second largest shareholder (the owner of Zorlu).
40% of the oil used by the Israeli regime flows through Turkey, oil that is vital to the regime.
4000 Turks have fought alongside Jews in the genocide of Palestinians.
Ships (presumably from Turkey) turned off their antennae and then diverted from Egypt to Israeli ports. Yemeni forces struck a Turkish ship linked Erdogan's political party.
The author of this video, Lowkey, raises the point that these muslim countries are reliant and dependent on Israeli security systems and that dependence raises questions over their sovereign independence. He also contrasts the courage and conviction of Greta Thunberg to the inhumanity shown by these muslim states with their vast military might by not helping Palestinians, many of whom, perhaps all, are also muslims.
He identifies an arab axis of assistance (including the US) given to the Israeli regime that is opposed to the axis of resistance (including Iran) that supports Palestinians.
A lot is said in western media of the west's complicity in the genocide of Palestinians, but it is shameful that there is complete silence in western media on the complicity of muslim countries in that same genocide.

Western leaders meet leaders of Ukraine and Russia to try to end Russia's war on Ukrainians. Why are they not meeting to end the Israeli regime's genocide of Palestinians?
Western media has been very busy recently reporting on, and talking about, US efforts to try and end Russia's war on Ukraine. Western leaders (see image below) have flown to the US and so have the leaders of Ukraine and Russia, where they'll meet and try and negotiate a settlement.
It will be great news if a ceasefire can be agreed and it endures. The next milestone would be a settlement between the warring countries that is honoured by each side so the ceasefire becomes a permanent settlement so peace returns to the region.
These leaders are NOT meeting for a ceasefire by the murderous Israeli regime and an end to its war on Palestinians. Palestinians continue to be murdered and starved to death and forcibly displaced from their homes, by the murderous Israeli regime, and violent Jewish settlers continue to illegally occupy Palestinian land.
The contrast in level of interest and desire to end the war in Ukraine versus ending the genocide in Gaza, is stark and illustrates the inhumanity and prejudice of politicians in the west.
Western politicians' lack of interest in ending the genocide in Palestine is understandable because these leaders are supporting the genocide through their political and military support for the Israeli regime.

US govt: what hypocrits
FT.com published an article on 18 Aug 2024 by a guy called Peter Navarro (PN) accusing Indians of funding "Putin's war machine". That is extremely hypocritical when the US is directly supporting the murderous Israeli regime's genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Read my FT.com comment to PN here.
Update 19 Aug 2025:
I cannot see my FT.com comment the article by Navarro. It appears to have been removed because I cannot see it. I know it was published because I edited the version I published and if edits are not saved, it reverts to retaining the unchanged version.
I wrote to the FT on 19 Aug and said:"I cannot see my comment to the following 18 Aug 2025 article...Did you refuse to publish my comment or is there some other explanation?" The FT is notoriously bad a replying. As at 19 Sep 2025, still no reply from FT.com about my comment and I still cannot see it in the comments section.
There were 957 comments before the FT stopped further Comments. Many highlighted the hypocrisy of the US, for example, this extract from a comment by "CSP1": "...India is importing Russian processing it and selling it to European countries. Do you think that these countries are buying does not know the source of the oil and yet they are buying the processed crude products. They are equally complicit and they are contributing just as much to the Russian economy as the Indian oil companies are..."
Relatively few comments referred to US or western countries' support given to the Israelis. One (from "anyhow") said: "I’ll go along with his idea for India to stop funding Russia when he stops funding Israel. Let’s end the hypocrisy. "
Update 21 Aug 2025
Another FT.com article (published 20 Aug 2025) about India's purchases of Russian oil, but this one was written not by an American, but by an Indian. It attacked the hypocrisy of the US for its trade with Russia, and it also noted that the Europeans and China do MORE trade, than India does, with the Russians. The writer did not also mention the hypocrisy of the US for its support of the Israeli regime, and ommission I mentioned in my comment (see image below). It will be interesting to see whether the FT again remove my comment. Even if they do, I saved the 20 Aug article to the internet archive (click here to view). Update (19 Sep 2025) after testing the archive link, the archived article does not appear and in its place there is a page offering a subscription to the FT, so the FT is blocking archiving of its articles.

US govt cuts aid but supports Israeli regime's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
Extract of my FT.com comment 04 Aug 2025
UK government's Yvette Cooper tries lamely to defend her unjust proscription of Palestine Action.
In her piece (see extract below from FT.com 17/08/2025) Cooper fails to disclose who advised her to proscribe Palestine Action. Was it the Israeli lobby? Was it the murderous Israeli regime? Was it Elbit Systems? Cooper has also, conveniently, used live legal proceedings as an excuse to keep secret information she has used to justify her proscription.
Perhaps the judicial review of the proscription will confirm her abuse of political power and expose who persuaded and lobbied her to proscribe Palestine Action.
Watch this video where Jonathon Porritt points out the holes in Cooper's justification for proscribing Palestine Action, notably where he says the government's own advisors found no evidence of PA advocating violence against people, yet Cooper repeatedly mentions violence, the implication being PA has used violence against people when the violence has in fact been against property. Not surprising, then that PA has accused Cooped or defamation. Note Porritt's point that no UK government has used the powers under the Terrorism Act in this way until now, and against PA. Why is that? Could it be to stop PA in its tracks? He also says, with great weight, that laws may be followed or broken according to one's conscience.

US government issues a biased report on human rights
I came across this report on 2024 human rights. It does not report separately on human rights in Israel, but includes the West Bank and Gaza. It does not report separately on Palestine. Shockingly, in its section c. on war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, not a single word was mentioned about the acts of the murderous Israeli regime. Read the entire text of section c. in the image below:
Read the full report here.
The report illustrates the US government's bias in favour of the Israeli regime and the US govt's cover-up of war crimes of Netanyahu and his murderous Israeli regime. The ommissions in the report are shocking but understandable as the US is complicit in the genocide and deliberate starving to death of Palestinians. I sent a message of the reports (including one on the UK's record on freedom of speech) to DoubleDown News on 14 Aug 2025, and to Novara Media and The Canary.

Financial Times continues to unfairly report on the murderous Israeli regime
Instead of saying the regime has a deliberate policy of starving to death Palestinians or that hundreds of Palestinians including many children, have been starved to death by the regime because it has restricted supplies of food, all the FT's journo, Stephen Foley, says in his 14 Aug 2025 article, is: "Its [GHF's] small number of distribution sites have failed to allay fears of starvation [my emphasis] in the enclave..."
The starvation is not a "fear" it is a fact - evidenced by hundreds of dead Palestinians. Aid agency, MSF, said in its Aug 2025 report "the Ministry of Health in Gaza reports that more than 1,000 people have been killed and 7,200 injured while attempting to collect aid — the vast majority of them at GHF distribution
sites." and "In practice, the militarised food distribution scheme has weaponised starvation and curated suffering."

The complicity of countries in the Israeli regime's genocide of Palestinians
Read this extract from a press release on 07 Aug 2025 by the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner, in which it exposes the complicity of the European Union and other countries for not acting to stop the genocide of Palestinians by the murderous Israeli regime or suppressing protests against the genocide:
Disgraceful reporting by FT.com about the war on Palestinians
Another news organisation that fails to report fairly on the plight of Palestinians and what the murderous Israeli regime is actually doing. Like AFP News (see post below), FT.com (on 11 Aug 2025) published an article saying "Israel's war against Hamas", when it is absolutely clear the murderous regime is waging war against ordinary Palestinians: they are being starved to death, murdered as they try to collect food, and forcibly displaced from their homes.
This is a war against Palestinians and should be stated in the media as such, yet shameless journos instead do not mention this and instead write of: "Israel's war against Hamas." Click here and here to read my emails (sent 13/08/2025) to the FT about their unfair (disgraceful) reporting.

"THIS IS NOT AID. THIS IS ORCHESTRATED KILLING" - MSF
Aid agency, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has issued a report (click to read) that "documents the horrors witnessed by MSF staff at two clinics that regularly received mass influxes of casualties following violence at sites run by the GHF, an Israeli-US proxy that has militarised food distribution...The sites are nothing but a deadly scheme, institutionalising the Israeli authorities’ starvation policy of Gaza...Despite the condemnations and calls for dismantling it, the global inaction to stop GHF is baffling.”
"MSF calls for the immediate dismantling of the GHF scheme; the restoration of the UN-coordinated aid delivery mechanism". Click on the logo to read MSF's article about their report.

Netanyahu: "the biggest liar in the state of Israel" and a war criminal
Listen to this 11-min video of former hostage negotiator, Gershon Baskin, say Netanyahu is a liar and say he is prolonging this war in order to stay in power.
Baskin rejects Netanyahu's idea of a military operation to free the remaining hostages and instead he calls for a negotiated settlement with Hamas, installation of a Palestinian government in Gaza and the complete removal of Israel from Gaza, and the installation of a peace-keeping force comprised of neighbouring Arab countries appointed by the Palestinian government. Note he says Hamas are willing to disappear and have no further control over Gaza and that Palestinians do not want Hamas.
What Baskin is saying all sounds reasonable but the blockage in it becoming a reality is the liar and criminal, Netanyahu.

Urgent call to UK government to sanction Israeli regime

FT ignores Palestine but not Ukraine
FT.com published an article on 11 Aug 2025 about the cordial relationship between Lammy and Vance. The article mentioned at length their discussion on Ukraine, which was reasonable because of the imminent meeting between Trump and Putin, but it was unreasonable not to mention Palestine, not even a word. My comments on this ommission can be read here.
“Do not forget Gaza.” - Anas al-Sharif, journalist murdered by Israeli regime
Anas al-Sharif, journalist murdered by Israeli regime, 2025
al-Sharif and three of his fellow Al Jazeera journalists (Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, and Mohamed Noufal), were murdered on Sunday 10 Aug 2025, in a targetted attack on them by the murderous Israeli regime.
"The journalists’ killers – the Israeli army, as per an official statement it made – targeted the tent where they were staying that was stationed opposite al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza." said Mostefa Souag, director general of the Al Jazeera Media Network.
The Israeli regime smears journalists by accusing them of being part of Hamas. They then use that lie as an excuse to murder them. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 178 journalists have been murdered by the Israeli regime since it invaded Gaza. They were all Palestinian journalist because the murderous regime does not allow international journalists to report on the ground in Gaza.

US-Israeli cover up of Shireen Abu Akleh's murder is revealed
Breaking Points video on 28 Oct 2025 reports on a Zeteo interview of a US investigator.
US investigator found that journalist Shireen Abu Akleh's killing in 2022 by the Israelis was intentional beyond reasonable doubt, yet the US investigation accepted the Israeli view that her killing was an accident. In other words, the US took the Israeli's view (it was an accident) even though the US investigator found she was intentionally killed.
This exposes the US deceit in the cover up of a murdered journalist. The Israeli fiction of it being an accident is one of so many instances of Israelis lying about their murders or their war crimes.
Another ploy the Israelis use to deceive is to initially lie about a murder or other crime they've committed, then if or when the lie is proven to be false, perhaps some substantial time later, the Israelis revise their story, but by that time, the media band wagon has moved on. The public too are likely to no longer be interested with an old story, so they don't read about the truth so in effect they retain only the original Israeli story that is false.

Shireen Abu Akleh, journalist, murdered by the Israeli regime, 2022
Further evidence that this murderous Israeli regime lies to justify its murders comes from its murder of another Palestinian journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank in 2022.
At first, the regime said she was killed in cross-fire, but evidence showed she was nowhere near that cross-fire, so they were caught exposed as liars. The regime then changed its story, saying she might have been "accidentally" shot by a sniper. That can also be shown to be a lie. Her murder was not by "accident" because she was clearly wearing a (blue) Press vest and helmet (FT.com).
To illustrate the inhumanity of the Israelis, Israeli police attacked her funeral pallbearers with batons and stun grenades, and on 26 Oct 2023, the Israelis bulldozed a memorial erected at the site where she was murdered. (Wikipedia)

Hundreds of courageous and defiant Brits arrested for writing four words on a piece of paper
Update 11 Aug 2025:
A total of 743 people have been arrested for supporting Palestine Action since it was proscribed last month, 532 of them just on Saturday 09 Aug 2025, according to a FT.com article on 11 Aug 2025.
Tim Crosland, spokesperson for the protest organiser, DoJ, "said that the demonstration [on 09 Aug] proved that the proscription of Palestine Action was “ridiculous and unworkable” for law enforcement." according to the article.
Crosland also said the claim by Justice minister Alex Davies-Jones that there were “credible reports of them [Palestine Action] targeting Jewish-owned businesses”, was "disingeneous" and added that Palestine Action “primarily” targeted UK-based facilities of Israel’s largest arms producer, Elbit Systems.

Today (09 Aug 2025) in central London, scenes that would shame any reasonable and fair government unfolded. Hundreds of peaceful protestors courageously sat and waited to be arrested on the ludicrous and unjust charge of terrorism.
Their crime? Writing on a placard: "I support Palestine Action" That was all. Palestine Action was proscribed by Yvette Cooper in a shameful abuse of political power, so supporting it is now a criminal offfence that could result in prosecution and a custodial term of 14 years.
Not only has Cooper's abuse of power created a national scandal, she has now caused massive amounts of taxpayers' money to be wasted on costs of policing, arresting and processing the hundreds of people who have been arrested, not only today but since the proscription came into force. Click here to watch the scenes of masses of courageous people being arrested today.
In July 2025, UN Human Rights Commissioner, Volker Türk said this of the government's proscription:
"I urge the UK Government to rescind its decision to proscribe Palestine Action"
"[it] appears disproportionate and unnecessary"
"[it] appears to constitute an impermissible restriction on those rights ["to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association"] that is at odds with the UK’s obligations under international human rights law.”.
So, not only is the UK government abusing its power by proscribing Palestine Action, it is denying people their right to free speech, and it is breaking international human rights law. A pretty disgusting show by Cooper and the UK government.
Those who had the courage to face arrest and did not kow tow to the police and the UK government will, I think, look back and feel proud they made a difference and they did the right thing. Cooper and Starmer and anyone else who proscribed Palestine Action and criminalised free speech in this way, will - if they find their moral compass - look back on this day with shame and regret.
Read the statements below by Defend our Juries (DoJ) about the murderous Israeli regime's hand in the proscription of Palestine Action. Read the placards (at the other protest march held on 09 August) about Zionists in the UK government, and the placards held by Jews that clearly show zionism and judaeism are fundamentally very different terms, a difference I did not realise until very recently.

Stop starving Gaza march in central London 09 Aug 2025
I attended this march on a sunny day in central London. It started at Russell Square and proceeded towards Trafalgar Square then down Whitehall to 10 Downing Street. What the images do not capture are the sounds of the rally, the chants of marchers, the pots and pans being banged, and the rhythm of the drums. It was all very loud.
Everyone who marched was extremely well-behaved and there was genuine solidarity and a common bond. There was no one or no group opposing the march and its message. There were Jews supporting the calls to stop the genocide, including Stephen Kapos, a survivor of the Jewish holocaust. Watch his video in an earlier post on this website denouncing the Israeli regime and other Jews.
I again tried to photograph the messages on placards and banners held aloft. 243 photos are shown below of these. Reading them is useful to understand what in particular individuals want the world to know and they provide a broad understanding of many apsects of this tragedy. A common theme was the forced starvation, and the complicity of the UK, and calls to stop the genocide. There were also messages supporting the right to protest, though I did not see any mention Palestine Action by name.

Who is Haya Adam and why was she expelled from SOAS?
At the 09 Aug 2025 protest march in central London, I saw a placard supporting a person who'd been expelled from SOAS. I did not understand it and I knew nothing of the person and the controversy, so I did some research.
Watch this video and read this article about the background that resulted in the expulsion of Haya Adam from SOAS for, according to Haya Adam: “live-streamed genocide.” and for, according to SOAS: "harassment, abusive behaviour, and operational obstruction." This is the Instagram link for the placard. The placard is the same as the one I saw at the march except that one had some words covered up.
I think it is disgraceful that UK universities have sided with the UK government and the Israeli lobby in oppressing and harrassing students' rights to free speech. Such gagging is worse than the disgraceful proscription of Palestine Action because protesting students have not caused damage to property.

Hypocrisy of western leaders: they freeze assets and sanction Russia, but they finance and arm murderous Israeli regime
Since Putin invaded Ukraine, the EU alone has banned €48bn of EU exports to Russia and banned €91 bn of imports from Russia. "The list of banned products is designed to maximise the negative impact of the sanctions on the Russian economy".
HMRC has said: "the UK and our international partners have implemented the most severe package of sanctions ever imposed on a major economy, which has deprived the Russian state of at least $450 billion in funding for its war machine."
The UK government gives the following warning for breaching its sanctions: "Failure to comply with sanctions is a serious offence and those who breach them may be subject to a range of enforcement actions, including large financial penalties or referral for criminal prosecution." In May 2025, HMRC fined a UK exporter over £1m for exporting goods to Russia.
According to this website, around 2000 companies have reduced or ended their operations in Russia, yet not a single company appears on its website as reducing activity in, or leaving, Israel, and it lists just 22 international companies that operate in Israel.
It is clear the western governments have taken great strides to inflict economic damage on Russia for invading Ukraine.
Contrast that enthusiasm and severity over Russia with the west doing next to nothing in terms of sanctions on, and asset freezes of, Israel, Israeli companies or Israeli individuals or penalties on companies from the west that trade or do business with these Israeli entities.
In a token gesture, the UK did reduce the number of military export licences, but it still allows the export of weapons to Israel. Until this week, the Germans were one of the largest exporters of military aid to the Israeli regime.
The slaughter, starving to death, and forced displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians by the Israeli regime has not triggered any condemnation by the west, other than pathetic calls to stop its war. On the contrary, most western governments continue to export weapons, provide funding, or allow their companies to trade with Israel. They even allow visits by war criminal Netanyahu to their country or allow him to fly over their air space instead of arresting him for his war crimes.
It is clear when comparing the west's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Israeli regime's invasion of Gaza, that the west operates double-standards over war crimes. It acts against Russia but it supports Israel. That duality is why the west is complicit in the genocide and starving to death and forced displacement of Palestinians, and that is why western leaders including Trump, Biden, Starmer, Merz, and those in many other western countries, will be go down in history as war criminals alongside Netanyahu.

Germans are now responsible for TWO holocausts
Partners in war crimes
FT.com published an article on 09 Aug 2025 that the German leader Friedrich Merz (pictured with war criminal, Netanyahu) "has long been a strong defender of Israel" and spoke of "Germany’s moral commitment to stand by the country." and its "staunch support for Israel, which is rooted in the legacy of the Holocaust."
How ironic that the country (Germany) that inflicted a holocaust on people (Jews), is now supporting a holocaust of people (Palestinians) and that it is being perpetrated by the descendants of the people who were the victims of the first holocaust (Jews).
Germany has supplied close to €500m of arms to the murderous regime since Oct 2023, and it has "Germany has also resisted EU efforts to impose sanctions on the Israeli government over Gaza." according to the article. Like digusting US politicians who pose with Netanyahu on US soil instead of arresting him, Merz warmly invited the war criminal to visit Germany.
The article says "a majority of Germans have grown critical of Israel." so as I suspect is the case in many countries, their inhumane and warped political leaders are the ones who have lost their moral compass, not ordinary folk. The exception to this view of the atrocities in Palestine is, I think, the Jews living in Israel.
How ironic and how hypocritical that the coalition parties in Germany have the words "christian" and "social" in their names, given Germany's unwavering support and complicity in genocide, starving to death, and displacement of Palestinians by the murderous Israeli regime of Netanyahu.
How warped these Germans are to support a murderous Israeli regime, because of what they (Germans) did to them (Jews) in WWII. Reformed Germans would preach humanity, fairness, and dialogue, yet these murderous and warped Germans preach death and destruction to their former victims (Jews).

Complicit US politicians express outrage, but it's fake and it's too late for dying Palestinians
Another great video by Breaking Points, this one shows US politicians: Obama, H Clinton, MTG, and Booker, and others posting pathetic, short, and insincere messages of outrage at what is happening in Gaza and calling for it to stop.
Breaking Points' host (Krystal Ball), said these politicians have woken up to where this tragedy is heading and that it is so far advanced now that death and destruction is irreversible, so these politicians are now covering their backsides by publishing fake and weak messages expressing their outrage (some are not even stating "Israel" in their posts) so they can say in future in their defence: 'we spoke out against this'.
Ball warns viewers: "don't let them [these politicians tweeting now] get away with rewriting history [i.e., don't fall for their fake posts expressing concern]...they all enabled it [the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians] and they should never be forgiven for it"

Shameless US senators pose with Israeli war criminal Netanyahu
Online news platform, Zeteo, published this 16/07/25 article showing a picture of 14 US senators posing with war criminal Netanyahu on his visit to the US (see photo below). Instead of arresting the war criminal or expressing their horror over what he is doing every day to Palestinians, they are all smiles.

Adam Schiff (second from the left in the group photo.) is a person I admired for his condemnation of Trump, but that admiration has turned to disgust at Schiff. Click here to read my message sent on 08 Aug 2025 to Schiff.
Like my impression of Schiff, I had been impressed with Cory Booker (he's the completely bald guy standing at the back, on the right) for his outrage over the nomination of Bove, but this damning video published 07 Aug 2025 by Breaking Points shows Booker's true colours and that he's been captured and bought by Israelis.
Booker is a Democrat yet he has refused to support NY state rep and democrat, Mamdani. Booker sought to make it a crime to support the BDS (boycott, divest, and sanction) movement. This is the inhumane guy who voted TO SEND $hundreds of millions of bombs and weapons to the murderous Israeli regime. Click on the image of Booker immediately above, to read more about him, and others also captured and bought by Israelis.
Updated: 26 Aug 2025
Still no reply from Schiff. A FT.com article appeared on 26 Aug 2025 about Trump pursuing a Fed official for mortgage fraud. Trump has also called out Schiff for the same reason. I took the opportunity to mention this and also expressed my disregard for Schiff after seeing him pose with war criminal, Netanyahu. Read my comment here.
Update 23 Sep 2025
I received a reply by email from Schiff this evening. I laughed after I had read it, because it is completely devoid of any reference to what I told him, including telling him: "I am from London, England." In his reply he said: "My staff and I keep track of every message we receive from Californians like you..."
I have no idea why Schiff sent such an irrelevant reply. His reply is analogous to someone saying to a person: "I think you are a disgusting person" and the person replying with: "Inflation rose by 3 per cent." Read my message to Schiff on 08 Aug 2025 (see link above), and then read his reply to see what I mean.
Update 11 Oct 2025
Schiff has received a whopping $6234000 (over $6 MILLION) from AIPAC, according to Track AIPAC
Update 16 Oct 2025
Watch this Breaking Points video on 16 Oct 2025 iin which Booker refuses to say whether he thinks Netanyahu is a war criminal or not. Listen to his pathetic response. Also listen to his response when told he's taken $800,000 from AIPAC. He's told to his face he is talking "bull**it". Also watch another prominent US politician, Newsom, squirm as he's asked: does he take AIPAC money? See how unbelievable his answer is - pretending that AIPAC is irrelevant or minor to him, so much so that he has hardly thought of AIPAC. The attempt to distance himself from AIPAC resonates with Pakman who claimed he does not even know how to pronounce AIPAC. Watch this 17 Oct 2025 video in which Glenn Greenwald dissects and analyses the cunning and manipulative responses by Booker to the presenter's questions on AIPAC and being photographed with Netanyahu.

Images of Gaza the Israelis don't want the world to see
The three images immediately below are not Horishima, Japan 1945 after the US dropped their atomic bomb on it. They are aerial images of Gaza, Palestine 2025, almost 60 years to the day after Hiroshima. The row of four images below are of Hiroshima. Note the similarity.
These aerial images were taken from a Jordanian airplane the Israelis had no control over. They expose the lie by the Israelis. Their attacks were not aimed just at Hamas but everywhere a building stood. The regime's goal was not only Hamas but total destruction of Gaza's infrastructure.
Relentless Israeli bomb attacks have razed Gaza to the ground. No surprise therefore to see rows of tents in open spaces such as a roundabout or a courtyard.
Images of Hiroshima from ICP. Images of Gaza from Breaking Points
See the post below called "A cartography of genocide". Its key points include:
"...since October 2023, Israel systematically & repeatedly targetted all aspects of Palestinian life in Gaza."
Oct 2023: In the first three weeks after 7 Oct 2023, 1000 air strikes hit Gaza
Nov 2023: ground invasion by regime rapidly increases the scale of destruction, including 70% of agricultural land and over 45% of greenhouses-eradicating Gazans' capacity to feed themselves. "Virtually all of Gaza's buildings and agricultural land have been damaged or destroyed."
Feb 2024: Medical facilities systematically targetted
Aug 2024: regime targets all elements of civilian life: 425 schools and universities; 273 religious buildings; 250 shelters; Gaza's road network

BDS event in Greenford on 08 Aug 2025 was a non-starter
I made a long trip with my camera and tripod to the BDS rally this afternoon but was surprised not a single person was there. I arrived about 12:50pm so not early nor late. I thought perhaps it had relocated, but there was no sign of any BDS activity nearby.
'Lift the Ban' rally in support of Palestine Action - threats of arrest
fend our Juries (DoJ) has organised a rally on 09 Aug 2025 in London, to de-proscribe Palestine Action, now branded a terrorist group.
Click on the image to read DoJ's document about the rally and how to act if arrested, or use this link.
It is morally reprehensible for Yvette Cooper and Starmer to have proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. There are laws against damaging property. Such damage is not an act of terrorism. Note the section in the DoJ's document (see image below) about Israeli lobbying to ban Palestine Action.

FT.com published an article on 08 Aug 2025 of the rally on 09 Aug in Parliament Square, London in support of Palestine Action (PA). PA is the organisation whose supporter was defended by Starmer but now Starmer has proscribed it as a terrorist organisation. See the extracts below (taken from the article) about the threat of arrest by those who oppose the proscription and show their support for Palestine Action.
It's interesting to note that the FT's article did not contain any comment from a person who supports the rally or Palestine Action. Perhaps the FT was worried that if it did, it would be prosecuted as supporting a terrorist organisation. The quote below is by Tim Crosland, spokesperson for Defend our Juries, which is organising the protest on 09 August.

Shameless Egyptian government approves a $35bn trade deal with Israeli company as Palestinians are murdered
In a shocking example of the disregard and insensitivity of governments across the world, the Egyptian government has agreed to buy gas from an Israeli company. It has done so even though: "the Egyptian president, recently described the Israeli offensive in the strip as a genocide."
The chief exec of the Israeli gas supplier, NewMed, showed his disregard for the atrocities committed by his Israeli regime, when he said: "“We are very focused on the commercial win-win — we are not political or geopolitical entities".
In contrast to their government, "many Egyptians have been outraged by Israel’s conduct in Gaza and voiced disappointment that Cairo is not doing more to help the starving Palestinians." the 07 Aug 2025 FT.com article said. FT comments were not allowed.

Message to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
Click to visit his website
I have watched many of his videos calling out injustice and bad behaviour by Republicans of their lackeys. For example, Bove and his nomination to be a judge; and of course, Trump. What I have not seen nor heard from Whitehouse is a single word condemning the Israeli regime or the Republicans for their support of the Israeli regime. Click here to read my message sent to him on 07 Aug 2025 requesting him to say something to try and stop the US from supporting the murder and erasure of Palestinians.
Update: 29 Sep 2025
Sheldon Whitehouse replied to my message to him of 07 Aug. Click here to read his letter. Like Schiff. the reply by Whitehouse appears to be a standard letter that bears no relationship to what I actually said, and like Schiff's, he made a mistake about where I resided - stating I lived in Rhode Island.
I say this because Whitehouse says I am supporting Sanders' resolutions. I am not supporting them. and I said nothing about them - I didn't even know of them until Whitehouse mnentioned them. His comments show he possesses some humanity, however his comments about Allies Iran, and Israel are disturbing.
Whitehouse has nothing to say on arresting Netanyahu-wanted for war crimes- nor on the creation of a Palestinian state. It seems to me that Whitehouse is like a mother unwilling to say anything bad about their child - they are in a state of denial about the child. Anyone else, with complete impartiality, would say the child is bad and needs to be set right or disowned.
Update 11 Oct 2025
I stumbled across a website called Track AIPAC and saw that Whitehouse has been bought by the Israeli lobby, to the tune of $617,000. Now I understand why this guy is silent on my points above. This is the guy who campaigned AGAINST the boycott (BDS) campaign.

Israelis and BCG model the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
More revelations appeared in a FT.com article on 07 Aug 2025 of plans to remove Palestinians from their homeland to make way for the redevelopment of Gaza by Israelis and other investors, a plan that "UN officials compared to ethnic cleansing".
Countries considered for relocating hundreds of thousands of Palestinians include: Somalia and the breakaway region of Somaliland, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Jordan. Trump has spoken to the latter two. Some of these regions suffer from poverty and military conflicts, so imagine the plight of Palestinians relocating from one war zone to another.
According to the article: "No progress has been made on the relocation plans". "BCG" is Boston Consulting Group, a firm whose staff modelled the ethnic cleansing plan, work which BCG tried to disown when the plan became public. It is the firm that helped to establish the disgraceful GHF aid scheme controlled by the US and Israelis, a schene that murders Palestinians as they try to collect food from it. Again, BCG has tried to distance itself from this work.
Tony Blair's business, TBI, claimed it did not endorse, propose, or develop the idea of relocating Gazans, and that when meeting groups to discuss postwar plans, it is “essentially in listening mode”. Read the FT.com 06 Jul 2025 article for a detailed account of the individuals and the plans to redevelop Gaza with or without Palestinians.
People who spend time, money and energy seeking to profit from ethnic cleansing and redeveloping Palestinians' homeland are morally bankrupt and contemptible.
They should instead focus their energy on forcing an immediate ceasefire and stopping the murderous Israeli regime from committing genocide, starving Palestinians to death, and murdering them as they try to collect food.
Disgusting Donald Trump is more interested in removing 2.1m Palestinians and developing Gaza into the "“Riviera of the Middle East”.

The countries and companies arming the Israeli regime
Click here for a summary of the countries and the companies in the military supply chain that support the murderous Israeli regime.
"The main countries involved in supplying arms and military goods to Israel are the US, Germany, Italy and the UK." Other countries listed are: Belgium, Finland, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, India, Canada, France, South Africa, and Australia.
How shameful and hypocritical to see South Africa on this list given it (along with Bangladesh, Bolivia, Comoros and Djibouti) courageously and decently filed a complaint of genocide to the ICJ in Dec 2023.

Norwegian sovereign wealth fund invests over $2bn in Israeli companies involved in the genocide of Palestinians
The Norwegian government has ordered its sovereign wealth fund "to review its investments in Israeli companies after persistent complaints that it has financed businesses aiding Israel’s offensive in Gaza." according to a 05 Aug 2025 FT.com article.
Note how the chief exec of the fund, Tangen, tries to deflect censure and accountability by saying a third party chose the investment in Israeli company, Bet Shemesh Engines, and he claims this company was not on any exclusion list.
A competent fund manager would take responsibility for every investment made by it or on its behalf by a third party. Its chief exec would not stoop to the cowardly and pathetic defence of saying a third party selected the investment.
The fund manager would check every investment meets the fund's investment criteria, especially ESG and ethics principles. It would do more than just checking it's not on an exclusion list by checking it against exclusion criteria and its ethics and ESG criteria. The fact that Bet Shemesh Engines was selected and was not flagged by the Ethics Council, shows the Ethics Council and the fund are not fit for purpose.
Not only is this order by its government incredibly embarrassing to the SWF, it reveals its complicity in the genocide of Palestinians because it has failed to disinvest from Israeli companies involved in the genocide. Disgustingly, the fund increased its investment 400% since the start of the Gaza conflict in 2023, in Israeli firm, Bet Shemesh Engines. The fund is investing $2.1bn in 65 Israeli companies.
I wrote to the SWF on 05 Aug 2025 expressing my disgust. Read my email here.
Update: 13 Aug 2025
An article appeared in FT.com on 11 Aug 2025 saying the SWF has sold its investments in 11 Israeli companies, but it is still invested in 50 Israeli companies. Kirsti Bergstø said: "“It is too small [selling just 11 of the 61 holdings]. The oil fund is still heavily invested in genocide". I was appalled by the unfair reporting in this article. See the post above titled "Disgraceful reporting by FT.com..." to read my feedback emailed to the FT on 13 Aug 2025.

Update 26 Aug 2025
FT.com published an article saying the Norwegian SWF has sold its entire stake in Caterpillar.
Caterpillar a US multinational that supplies bulldozers to the murderous Israeli Defence Force (IDF). The image shows a Caterpillar DR9 armoured bulldozer used by the IDF.
The "Ethics Council" that advises the SWF said
""bulldozers manufactured by Caterpillar are being used by Israeli authorities in the widespread unlawful destruction of Palestinian property...there is no doubt that Caterpillar’s products are being used to commit extensive and systematic violations of international humanitarian law. The company has also not implemented any measures to prevent such use."
The SWF has also sold its stakes in Israeli banks that are funding illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

US government confirms its disregard for Palestinians' rights to their homeland
Confirmation of US's disregard for Palestinian rights and their homeland came when Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Johnson, declared:
“the mountains of Judea and Samaria were promised to the Jewish people, and they belong to them by right. But many people around the world do not see it like this, they label it the ‘occupied territories’ or the ‘West Bank’ or any other name...Every mayor here should know exactly where we stand regarding this issue — and we stand with you.” (04 Aug 2025).
It is shameful that this guy Johnson blatantly disregards international law and supports the illegal occupation by Israelis of Palestinian land. The Israeli illegal settlers displaced, harrass, and murder Palestinians living in the West Bank. See post below of Trump's plans to own Palestinian land.

Rally at Labour Party Acton branch on 04 Aug 2025
A rally was organised this evening outside the Acton branch of the Labour party. Lots of posters were displayed of Labour party MPs complicit in the atrocities occurring in Gaza at the hands of the murderous Israeli regime. I tried to check these claims:
MP Rupa Haq is shown as "clearly Pro-Palestinian" on the website mpwarcrimes.co.uk and her voting record shows this, so I'm not sure why she has been labelled in the posters below as "guilty".
MP Deidre Costigan: the website mpwarcrimes.co.uk has no data yet classifies her as "Likely anti-Palestinian"
MP James Murray: is shown as "clearly anti-Palestinian" on the website mpwarcrimes.co.uk and his voting record shows this: Murray did not sign a letter to uphold ICC arrest warrants against Israeli war criminals - 22nd May 2024. He did not sign a letter to suspend Arms Sales to Israel - 27th March 2024. He was absent or abstained about a ceasefire in Occupied Gaza - 15th November 2023. He refused to re-sign re: Labour Frontbench Whipped to Abstain on Ceasefire Vote - 15th November 2023. He was absent or abstained on making BDS illegal for Public Bodies (1st Vote) - 3rd July 2023.
Peter Mason is the leader of Ealing council and is a former secretary of the Jewish Labour Movement. A Facebook post by Ealing friends of Palestine said of him: "Peter Mason, Ealing’s leader and proud Zionist, refuses to act."
I sent an email to Palestine Solidarity Campaign on 05 Aug asking for information that confirms or justifies the labels given to Costigan and Haq, and copied the email to these MPs. Click here to read my email.
Like other rallies, many people came with pots and pans to condemn out loud the deliberate starvation to death of Palestinians by the Israeli regime and the support given to it by government, including the UK's Labour party.
Speakers spoke of the complicity of the Labour party, Ealing council through its investments in companies that support the ongoing genocide, and the appalling injustice of people arrested and imprisoned by the UK legal apparatus for opposing genocide and the UK government's complicity.

Watch US senator Van Hollen call out Rubio and Musk on their complicity in genocide in Sudan by their cuts to USAID, and Rubio's complicitity in the genocide in Gaza through his silence and inaction over the 78-day food blockade imposed by Netanyahu. Rubio has callously removed visas of US students who dared to speak out over Gaza. In response to Van Hollen, Rubio showed no remorse and was flippant.
Who exactly in the west are complicit in Gaza?
Edward Luce of the FT published a piece on 01 Aug 2025 titled "The west’s complicity in Gaza".
I wrote a reply to him on 02 Aug 2025 saying it was important to distinguish ordinary western people from the western media and the western politicians to see who among these groups in "the west" are actually complicit in Gaza.

The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC), asked me to send a letter in support of protests by students about the oppression of Palestinians. In PSC's email of 01 Aug 2025, they said:
"Earlier this month, elected student officers and student groups from more than fifty universities sent an open letter to the National Union of Students (NUS) calling on it to take action against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Instead of listening to its members, NUS has responded by trying to repress students who are organising in solidarity with Palestine."
"[NUS] has chosen to side with the government and reacted to legitimate student criticisms by threatening elected students’ union officers and banning them from its ‘Lead and Change’ national meeting, which took place this week in Birmingham.
NUS is rightly proud of the part that students played in the campaign to end apartheid in South Africa – even electing Nelson Mandela as honorary Vice President of NUS. But that history is betrayed by those who have forgotten Mandela’s famous observation that “our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians”.

Protest outside McDonald's in Ealing, London 01 Aug 2025
A large and vociferous crowd gathered in Ealing Broadway, London, at 6pm on 01 Aug 2025 and banged on their pots and pans to make sure passers by and the UK government hear loud and clear the message: end the deliberate starving of Palestinians.
The rally was held outside McDonald's because of its complicity in the genocide of Palestinians (read the rally leaflet below). Click on the gallery of photos below for a better view of each image of the rally. Note the message (again) that Ealing Council should stop its support of the Israeli regime by divesting.

Great video critically analysing the responses by a US senator to questions about the support given by her and the US to the Israeli regime.
Robert Shrimsley wrote a piece on FT.com on 31 Jul 2025, in which he says: "suffering in Gaza...widely labelled as war crimes and ethnic cleansing."
It appears to me that a) by describing war crimes and ethnic cleansing as 'labels', Shrimsley does not believe they are true descriptions, and b) to show his contempt for them or his disbelief of them, he derides them or casts doubt on them by calling them 'labels'.
Calling the atrocities war crimes and ethnic cleansing are not token gestures, but honest and justifiable assessments of the actions of the Israeli regime. They are far more than 'labels'.
I sent him an email on 01 Aug 2025 to ask if he thought the atrocities are: war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and genocide? Click on his image to read the email.

Parallels between Israel's erasure of Palestinians and France's erasure of Algerians
Watch this video (around 22/07/25) published by Katie Halper, in which Ken McCarthy describes the similar tactics the French used on Algerians to those being used on Palestinians by the Israeli regime in Gaza (destroy agriculture, bomb properties, put people in the equivalent of concentration camps, and murder civilians). It is ironic that Macron (of France) should front-run other western countries (although he has been extremely slow), and call for a Palestinian state.
JF Kennedy was opposed to oppression of people by a foreign power and so trumpetted the independence of Algeria from France when it came.
It's fair to say Kennedy would be appalled at the support Trump, and previous presidents, has given to sustain the Israeli regime's system of apartheid and oppression of Palestinians.

It's too late to save starving Palestinian children from death
Breaking Points , on 29 July 2025, showed a comment (see image below) by a medic returning from Palestine, who said it was too late to save some starving Palestinian children - their starved bodies had deteriorated beyond the point of no return:
Palestine Action given permission for a judicial review into its proscription
In a major blow to the UK government, and especially Yvette Cooper, Palestine Action has been allowed a judicial review into a) why the UK government did not undertake a proper consultation and b) its "disproportionate interference” with freedom of expression and protest rights.

Financial Times editorial board - a bunch of hypocrits
The FT editorial board says in its piece on 30 Jul 2025: "The world is failing the Palestinian people — a failure that will haunt western nations in particular for years to come." The FT editorial board has played its part in failing the Palestinians through its reporting, and thereby allowing the Israeli regime to continue its murderous assault on Palestinians for so long. Note in the article the choice of words the board uses to describe Hamas versus those is uses for the Israeli regime.
Note the board only goes as far as suggesting "sanctioning Netanyahu and his government", no mention of prosecuting them for war crimes, and prosecuting those individuals in countries that have directly supported the Israeli regime, including Starmer, Trump, Lammy and the rest.
The board only goes as far as suggesting Arabs should threaten to cut off diplomatic ties with Israel, not sever them, and immediately. It says "evidence of ethnic cleansing is mounting," as if there is still some doubt of ethnic cleansing by the Israeli regime.
On 15 Jul 2025, I wrote to the FT asking: "when may we see a FT film about Israeli war crimes against Palestinians? " On 22 Jun 2025, I wrote to them saying: "You should be feel a sense of shame for denying comments on certain articles you publish, in particlular those regarding Israel and Iran...You use your platform to trumpet your own opinions and views and the views and opinions of those you mention in your articles, and in so doing you sway public opinion, yet you deny the public their comments and opinions." They did not reply to these messages.
There is more the FT could have done in its reporting to show the Israeli regime is erasing Palestinian life and identity, and breaking international law and human rights. The FT must accept its share of the blame and the shame for allowing this to happen. To blame the "world" is hypocritical of the FT editorial board.
The FT is far from the worst offender, in my opinion, in its reporting of this human tragedy. See a post below of a report that concluded: "the BBC is "systematically biased against Palestinians in Gaza war coverage."

Starmer - you've offered too little and too late for the Palestinians starved to death and murdered. Shame on you
When Starmer was asked whether Israel has the right to cut off power and water, to Gaza, he replied. “I think that Israel does have that right”.
Click on the image of Starmer to see and hear his shameful response.
Starmer will go down in history as the British prime minister who continued to show support for the Israeli regime as it murdered and starved to death Palestinians.
According to this FT.com article on 30 July 2025, Starmer has set in motion the recognition of a Palestinian state, a step far too late for the approximately 60,000 Palestinians murdered by the Israeli regime, aided and abetted by Starmer.

Jews admit genocide of Palestinians by Jews

Palestinian women mourn a dead child.
The FT.com ran an article on 28 Jul 2025 citing two Jewish groups that had admitted the Israeli regime is committing genocide.
One group, PHR.org, described “a deliberate and systematic dismantling of Gaza’s health and life-sustaining systems”. It added: The killing of nurses and doctors and blocking of life-saving equipment and supplies, by the Israelis, was: “not incidental to war, but rather part of a deliberate policy targeting Palestinians as a group”. Click on the 'Gaza genocide' image above to read PHR.org's full report and Executive Summary.
The other group, B'Tselem, said:
“mass killing” of Gazans
“large-scale destruction of infrastructure” “Israel is acting in a deliberate, co-ordinated and systematic way to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza, in an attack that is aimed at the entire group, as such,” and
"policies towards Gazans have transformed “from repression and control to destruction and annihilation”.
“This has been declared countless times by Israeli politicians, this is what is happening on the ground, and this is precisely the definition of genocide.” Click on the 'Our genocide' image above to read its Executive Summary.
The United Nations defines genocide as acts "committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such".
There is no doubt in my mind this is what the murderous Israeli regime headed by war criminal Netanyahu is doing, while the governments across the world, watch and continue to support him and his regime, especially Starmer and Trump, and the corporate sector.
FT.com added: "former military chief Moshe Ya’alon and former prime minister Ehud Olmert have separately said that Israel’s military is ethnically cleansing northern Gaza."

Rally held outside 10 Downing Street on 25 July 2025
Stop the War circulated a call to action:
"We are asking for at least 1,000 people to bring pots and pans to Downing Street to leave in front of the Prime Minister’s residence at 6pm in a symbolic gesture to honour the lives of the 1,000 Palestinians killed attempting to get aid in Gaza."
By banging on pots or pans, and leaving piles of pots and pans (including my cover), maybe, just maybe, Starmer and Lammy would hear protestors' message loud and clear:

Stop supporting an Israeli regime that starves Palestinians to death and murders them as they try to collect food.
Notice the variety of messages on placards held by protestors and the variety of people who heard the call and stood up to be counted. One of the speakers said, in effect, in years to come when people look back at ask: what did you do? The people who came today will be able to say: I came and I was heard.
Palestinians need Corbyn and Sultana - out with Labour supporters of the murderous Israeli regime
Corbyn and Sultana have formed a new UK political party and here's the email confirming I signed-up today. Click here and here to read pages 1 and 2 of their Statement including their support for Palestinians, something the Labour party has shamefully refused to do.

Watch this video from Janta Ka Reporter which is shocking for exposing the devaluing of Arabs by some Jews, and the schooling of Jews from a young age to regard Arabs as being inferior (to Jews) and not being humans.
The video also shows the apology by LBC presenter O'Brien for airing a caller's comments where the caller reveals that his wife was taught in a Jewish school that one Jew is worth 1000s of Arab lives and that Arabs are cockroaches to be crushed. There was no reason to apologise for such comments (nor for LBC to remove the segment from all media channels) so the fact the presenter did apologise indicates that he was forced to do so. Who forced him? Was it the Jewish lobby?
The Board of British Jews demanded an apology and the removal of the presenter, and claimed the comments were false and demonised Jews. The Janta Ka Reporter rightly notes that the Jews did not contradict the comments aired by saying: "Jews value Arabs as much as they value themselves" and nor did the school mentioned issue any denial of what it taught about valuing Arabs.
I sent the reporter an email (click to read) thanking him for his excellent coverage of this tragedy.

On 23 July 2025, I wrote to my local MP, Rupa Huq about the starving to death of Palestinians by the Israeli regime, to contact Starmer and Lammy and for politicians to take action. Click here to read the email.
I forwarded the email to Lammy and Starmer and cc'd Huq, then received automated responses from Starmer and Lammy saying they won't respond, but they gave alternative addresses, so I forwarded my email to: [email protected] (Starmer), and [email protected] (Lammy).
By the time these two read my email, if ever they do, many more Palestinians are likely to be dead either from starvation or an Israeli sniper's bullet as they try to collect food.

Northern-Ireland band, The Murder Capital, was not allowed to show the Palestinian flag nor a banner of support for Palestine at two of its planned shows in Berlin and Cologne in May 2025. Instead of kowtowing to such pressure and removing their shows of support, the band decided to cancel their shows and show their support and solidarity for the people of Palestine. Click here to read an article on Billboard about the cancellations and click here to read my email sent to the band on 23 07 2025 to express my thanks for the loyalty they showed to Palestinians.
Click here for an Oct 2024 article that shows the bias shown by some German authorities, politicians and the courts to Jews, and note the variety of reasons they give to justify their bias. By being biased, they are being anti-Palestinian and anti-freedom of speech. It is a ray of hope that some courts uphold the right to protest peacefully in Germany.
