Ch4 doc shows Starmer’s ban on Palestine Action was done to protect the arms industry

Palestine Action wasn’t banned because it’s a terrorist organisation. It was banned because large corporations, like the Elbit weapons firm, have captured the UK government.

The jury were right to acquit the Palestine Action defendants. Here’s why

Jurors bravely set aside social conditioning, the natural instinct we all share to defer to authority, and expectations fomented by establishment media. Instead they considered the actual evidence.

The Guardian joins the cheerleading for a war of aggression against Iran

Corporate media doesn’t represent humanity’s interests. It promotes the interests of billionaires and their hangers-on, who make huge profits from a war machine in constant need of excuses to kill.

The BBC pushes the case for an illegal war on Iran with even bigger lies than Trump’s

The UK state broadcaster streams disinformation into our living rooms – deceptions that not only leave us clueless about important international events but drive us ever closer to global conflagration.

Barrister’s powerful speech at Filton Trial reminds jury of its right to defy judge

Starmer and the media need convictions to justify Palestine Action’s proscription as a terrorist group. Rajiv Menon KC spells out to the jury why it is a vital last defence against government tyranny.

Every time, the media sides with the discredited apologists for genocide

Stop making moral outcasts of doctors and teachers for their principled opposition to genocide. Turn your fire instead on MPs, the media and pro-Israel lobby groups for their pitiless hypocrisy.

Genocide isn’t a mistake. Which is why the media can’t tell you the truth about Gaza

A new film about Hind Rajab’s murder points to a deeply sick Israeli society, driven into the darkest of places by a racist ideology that says Jewish lives count, Palestinian lives don’t.

Four observations on the US kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro

Difficult as it is for westerners to hear, we don’t need a stronger West, we need a weaker one. Harder still, Trump is teaching us that the very concept of ‘the West’ is an illusion.

Once again, the New York Times sells Israel’s genocide in Gaza as law enforcement

Israel is expelling 37 aid groups – a likely death sentence for 100,000s of Palestinians. But the Times speaks only of ‘new rules’ in Gaza, and ‘suspensions’ for those who ‘resist registration’

How reporting facts can now land you in jail for 14 years as a terrorist

Starmer’s government has set the most dangerous of precedents: it can now outlaw any political group it chooses as a terrorist organisation – and thereby make it impossible to defend it.

Western elites fear a ‘globalised intifada’ because they are its targets, not Jews

While western publics are being demonised as racists, the technology and strategies used today against Palestinians will become the walls of tomorrow’s prisons for us all.

Open letter to Met police chief: Let me tell you what ‘Globalise the intifada’ actually means

Sir Mark Rowley, your primary concern is not public safety but protecting the interests of the British establishment. And it has decreed that no opposition to Israel’s genocide will be tolerated.

The lobby is milking the Bondi Beach attack to silence critics of Israel’s genocide

It is years of dedicated work by the Israel lobby that has ensured the mass murder of Palestinians is viewed by governments, the media and parts of the Jewish community as entirely legitimate.

Don’t worry, be happy. All those who feared a dystopian future got it wrong

A world where corporations run the politicians, promote endless war and secretly manipulate public opinion through the media. Fortunately, these bleak visions never came to pass.

It’s antisemitic to call out Israel’s genocide, says the Guardian

The band Primal Scream had the audacity to tell its audience that the British government is complicit in genocide. They have been reported to the police for doing so.

Israel’s biggest con trick: Hiding the true numbers it has killed in Gaza

Israel has penned us all into a ‘debate’, one entirely divorced from reality, that relates only to those killed directly by its bombs and gunfire – not the genocide it is waging by other means.

Has the British public been tricked about what the Filton trial videos really show?

Starmer desperately needs the trial of six peace activists who targeted Israeli arms firm Elbit to go his way, and bolster his government’s claim that Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation.
