Material and rhetorical support for the genocide of the Palestinian people is everywhere. It’s time to ask why.
Western governments will never isolate and sanction Israel. The war machine will roll on until either we stop it or its lethal games blow up in all our faces.
In the UK, Islamophobia is so bipartisan, so normalised, that BBC reporters refer to anti-Muslim pogromists as ‘pro-British protesters’.
Israel’s zealots are ignoring the pleas of the top brass. They want to widen the circle of war, whatever the consequences.
