The West will stand in the dock alongside Israel at the genocide court

Israel is relying on western capitals to bully the Hague court because they have as much to fear from a genocide verdict as Israel itself. They’ve backed the killing spree in Gaza with arms and diplomatic cover – making them complicit.

‘Are we the baddies?’ Western support for genocide in Gaza means the answer is yes

The desperate smear campaign to defend Israel’s crimes in Gaza highlights the toxic brew of lies that’s been underpinning the liberal democratic order for decades.

Why is the media ignoring evidence of Israel’s own actions on 7 October?

The BBC and other media outlets keep revisiting the crimes Hamas committed on October 7, but have failed to report on growing evidence that Israel killed its own citizens that day, often in grotesque fashion.

The West agonises over an ‘atrocity upsurge’ while backing Israel’s genocide in Gaza

The problem isn’t ‘global inaction’ to prevent mass atrocities, as the Guardian claims. It’s intense US and UK support for atrocities so long as they bolster their global power.

How Israel uses an AI genocide program to obliterate Gaza

According to whistleblowers, Israel’s AI system is generating targets so fast, based on inputs so broad, that everyone in Gaza is in the crosshairs.

Israel and its allies are repurposing the goals and lies of 1948 – in Gaza in 2023

Israel is openly carrying out ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Yet, just as happened with the first Nakba in 1948, Israel’s lies and deceptions dominate the West’s media and political narrative.

Don’t be fooled. Biden is fully signed up to genocide in Gaza

The White House needs a cover story to obscure its complicity. In desperation, it is once again resurrecting the long-dead two-state solution.

Starmer’s Gaza stance has unmasked British democracy as a sham

The Labour leader’s refusal to back a ceasefire shows that moral and legal principles have taken a back seat to the political need to keep Washington happy.

Mounting evidence suggests Israel may be ready to ‘cleanse’ Gaza

All the signs are in place that Israel is once again seriously considering a massive ethnic cleansing operation, conducted at lightning speed and with US assistance.

Israel’s long-held plan to drive Gaza’s people into Sinai is now within reach

As the UK and US back the carnage in Gaza, including an imminent ground invasion, are they also about to assist Israel’s ethnic cleansing plan for a “Greater Gaza” – in Egypt?

Israel is caught lying time and again. And yet we never learn

Disinformation over the blast at Gaza’s al-Ahli hospital worked as planned, taking the focus off the victims and lifting pressure on Israel to stop its rampage.

Western media’s parroting of official lies is paving way to genocide in Gaza

Catastrophe looms because journalists have failed to hold both Israel and their own governments to account.

Lawless in Gaza: Why Britain and the West back Israel’s crimes

As the West cheers on Israel’s starving of Gaza’s civilians to soften them up before a ground invasion, it is important to understand how we reached this point – and what it portends for the future.

The blood of Gaza is on the West’s hands as much as Israel’s

Israel is on the rampage again and Gaza’s population is facing a quiet, slow path to erasure. The ones funding it and enabling it are the US and its European allies.

The West’s hypocrisy towards Gaza’s breakout is stomach-turning

There will be little sympathy in the West as, yet again, besieged Palestinians are bombed by Israel, their immense suffering justified by the term ‘Israeli retaliation’.

UK and Israel: Has the fightback against weaponised antisemitism begun?

Jews in the Labour party and academics are finally exposing the UK establishment’s smear campaign to silence criticism of Israel and destroy the left.

Why the media aren’t telling the whole story of Libya’s floods

There are reasons for Libya’s ‘chaotic’, ‘dysfunctional’ response to the disaster. And to identify them, we need to look closer to home

The West’s blueprint for goading China was laid out in Ukraine

Europe fears losing access to Chinese markets, plunging it deeper into a cost-of-living crisis. But it fears Washington’s wrath more.

Why action on the climate crisis is all hot air

Capitalism’s endless growth paradigm can’t be squared with sustainability. But no one – from politicians to the protest movement – is willing to admit the truth.

Starmer is selling Labour to big business. In power he will do the same

Labour policy is shifting ever further rightwards. That won’t and can’t change as long as only tainted City money is filling the party’s empty coffers
