Scenes from the end of Zionism: Reflections on the Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress in Vienna The first Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress, which drew 1,000 anti-Zionist Jews and their allies to Vienna, marked a significant moment in the rising tide against the settler-colonial state of Israel.

The irony is that the profession
of the largest number of politicians
in the US, EU & UK
now ignoring Israel
flouting international law every day
is solicitors, barristers, lawyers

Early this morning, Israeli occupation forces demolished eight residential structures in Ein Hijleh, near Jericho in the eastern occupied West Bank, forcibly displacing the families who lived there.

My Letter To Australian MP Mark Dreyfus About Gaza Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Caitlin: "When I close my eyes at night, all I can see is skeletal babies, little mouths gaping open like baby birds waiting for a worm. I have started to dream about it. Each night I carry a child, a new child, a different baby, trying to find food for them."

*Capitalism is failing us. Instead of bringing a decent life it generates an outrageous gap between the rich and the rest; unaffordable housing, healthcare & education; racial & gender inequality; climate disaster. Economist David Kotz argues it's time we built a new socialism for the 21st century*

Israel’s international isolation has begun U.S. and global politics surrounding Israel are shifting rapidly as the world recoils in horror at Israel’s starvation of Gaza. Here are several lessons the left should take note of.

"The root cause is Zionism. Zionism cannot be. Know it by its fruits. It is apartheid genocide and famine. Pressure works, apply sanctions. The Israel lobby is exposed, the pro-Israel forces inside the Democratic Party, embodied by DMFI and AIPAC and the big donors."

Trump’s Efforts to Control Information Echo an Authoritarian Playbook

Stop Repeating the Vast Undercount of Gazan Deaths. It Is Ten Times Greater. - Ralph Nader By Ralph Nader February 21, 2025 Enough already of the media’s lazy indifference to the vast undercount of the Palestinian death toll from Netanyahu’s genocidal daily bombing and shelling of Gaza’s de...

Half a Million Palestinians Dead, and the World Trades On The Palestinians will not be saved by the international community, because there is no international community. There are only competing mafias dressed up in flags and anthems.

"STOP reciting sanitised casualty figures for Gaza's dead. The real numbers hover around 500,000 dead Palestinians...not just a story of Israeli barbarism, also the story of a world that has traded its soul for profit margins and geopolitical advantage."

A Human‑Hunting Game”: Israeli Forces Systematically Targeted Palestinian Children in Gaza. British surgeon Dr. Nick Maynard says the Israeli defence force operating in Gaza are turning the targeting of Palestinian children into a “human-hunting game.”

British surgeon Dr. Maynard: "Israeli defence force in Gaza are targeting Palestinian children. One day they’re all shot in the head, the next day in the neck, and another day in the testicles…There is a clear and deliberate pattern to the injuries.”

‘Clearly Emaciated’: Former Green Beret Recounts Horrors at ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ Aid Sites Anthony Aguilar, a retired US special forces officer, says the US-funded project involves unqualified US contractors serving as an “appendage” of the Israeli military’s genocidal campaign.

Clear account of the actuality of the 'Humanitarian' USA/Israeli/IDF 'aid distribution', by one who worked for it, on the ground in Gaza. His verdict, "should be got rid of" as so awful.

BBC News, "The BBC World Service has compiled material on over 160 cases where children have been shot in Gaza and found that in 95 cases the child was shot in the head or the chest"

"In most these cases, the victim was under 12 years old"

During my work back in the 80s I heard the US-type salesmen say in shocked tones that there were operating theatres left unused in the NHS at times. The solution was throughput, the sick human on a factory production line. Hospitals were turned into businesses (Trusts). NHS is wounded+wonderful.

Labour are doing so many great things but of course there is some things even we aren’t happy with however they are rebuilding our country bit by bit.

The problem is the media who are either Tory or Reform supporters so they are always negative about Labour & make up rubbish.

The rule of the markets is such that it has crowned itself a sovereign entity separate from the majority of peoples lives and livelihoods.
If we the people do not stop what is a corporate coup over the commons, the deregulatory frenzy will see whole countries privatised.

UNWRA has the capacity to address the Gaza genocidal starvation - if only the Trump Administration had the courage to exert the pressure that would allow UNWRA in.

The manmade famine in #Gaza has been largely shaped by the deliberate attempts to replace the UN coordinated humanitarian system through the politically motivated “GHF”.
