No one in power respects my grief. And no one is coming to console me

Politicians, the police and the media want millions of us to imagine we are alone in grieving the slaughter of Gaza’s children – and that our grief is shameful. They need us to succumb to their lies.

The Met police chief proves he’s as dishonest and racist as the force he leads

Sir Mark Rowley claims he is worried about rising ‘community tensions’. But the only tensions he cares about are those belonging to an imaginary community he has created of a Jewish hive mind.

Who’s really encouraging attacks like the one on a synagogue? Look to our leaders

The attack in Manchester is evidence not of a rising tide of antisemitism but of something else entirely: a growing and dangerous political illiteracy being cultivated in our societies.

How the media tears up its own rulebook to hide Israel’s atrocities

The news cycle has rules every rookie journalist understands. When the media choose to break them, you can be sure it is for entirely non-journalistic reasons

Trump’s visit proved the utter corruption of our political and media class

Aside from the spectacle of our leaders openly prostrating before Trump, the truth of Britain’s “special relationship” with the US was mostly found in unscripted moments around his visit.

The billionaire class want you thinking Israel controls the West

Western elites don’t care what you think or say, so long as you don’t notice that they are the ones making money from a genocide, asset-stripping western economies and trashing our planet.

Nothing the Met says about the Palestine Action demo should be trusted

Why is the Met blaming protesters for ‘wasting’ its resources on arresting ‘terrorist’ pensioners? There’s a proper address for its grievances: Starmer’s authoritarian, genocide-complicit government.

Even the media’s Gaza ‘investigations’ hide the real story of Israel’s atrocities

The atrocity news treadmill makes sure western media are so busy chasing after Israel’s latest crime in Gaza they never pause long enough to piece together the bigger story of genocide.

The police pulled over my car. The lack of a reason should worry us all

The government and police appear keen to expand the ‘hostile environment’ policy for immigrants to encompass the British public – and deter political dissent on Israel’s genocide.

The BBC helped kill Anas al-Sharif. Its reporting will kill more journalists

The media are legitimising the murder of journalists by Israel – and they are doing it because they are racist propagandists for a system of western colonial control in the Middle East.

How the ‘blood libel’ paradox keeps the West silent on Israel’s genocide

The more depraved Israel’s actions, the more antisemitic it is to point out the truth. The painful reality is that, through Israel, the West can dress up boilerplate colonialism as a ‘Jewish’ project.

No, Piers. It was a genocide in Gaza from day one. Here’s why

Some 17 years ago an Israeli general and government minister threatened Gaza with a “Shoah” – a word until then reserved for the Holocaust. The trajectory in Gaza has been unwavering ever since.

On Gaza, the goal is to confuse us about where rights end and criminality begins

An Israeli Jew is charged over referring to ‘Nazi Israel’. An anti-genocide protester risks arrest as a terrorist for waving a Palestinian flag. Starmer is intentionally stoking a climate of fear.

Is a Glastonbury chant the real problem, or Israel’s genocidal violence in Gaza?

Israel, Starmer’s government and the media are fomenting a moral panic about words ‘glorifying violence’ towards the IDF, while glorifying the IDF’s all-too-real violence towards Palestinians.

Why BBC editors must one day stand trial for colluding in Israel’s genocide

In a confrontation with BBC news chief Richard Burgess, journalist Peter Oborne sets out six ways the state broadcaster has wilfully misled audiences on Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

Piers Morgan just can’t stop himself inciting against the Palestinian people

Through his dehumanisation of Palestinians, his racist incitements and mindless conflation of “Israelis” and “Jews”, Morgan continues to add fuel to the fire of genocide.

Israel is fully integrating its Gaza ‘food aid hubs’ into the genocide

Israel has been caught once again in a lie. For a genocidal state, there are no red lines. No one should be surprised that Israel is using its bogus ‘aid system’ to lure Palestinians into a death trap.
