Reversing The Truth – The Gaza ‘Ceasefire’ And British Complicity In Genocide We live in a time when truth is reversed in plain sight.

"Just imagine if Palestine had razed the whole of Israel to the ground, killing 100,000s, injuring and traumatising literally millions – and the BBC made the return of 20 Palestinian captives their continuous, highest profile focus."

Trump tells Israel's Knesset: "We’ve given a lot [of weapons] to Israel.. You used them well. It takes people that know how to use them, and you obviously used them very well."

Son-in-law Kushner on his trip to Gaza: "It looked almost like a nuclear bomb had been set off."

Germany’s Israel Obsession The fight against anti-Semitism in Germany is empowering those with the closest ties to its fascist past.

This film examines Germany's reworking of its fascist impulses – now by targeting Palestinians, "Arabs", and Jews and those on the left who show solidarity with Gaza's pain.

It's a fascinating case study of where the West is heading more generally: www.aljazeera.com/video/featur...

It was never a Gaza 'war'. The 'ceasefire' is a lie cut from the same cloth Trump’s ‘peace plan’ is doomed. No people in history has ever resigned itself to permanent servitude and oppression. The Palestinians will prove no different

Research shows plug-in hybrids are nearly as polluting as petrol cars. Buried in the story is this telling detail:

The underestimate of hybrid emissions in official tests "let four major carmaker groups avoid more than €5bn (£4.3bn) in fines between 2021 and 2023."

Yorkshire Building Society appear to have shut down the account of a couple – he's a former barrister – for being pro-Palestine activists.

YBS urgently need to explain themselves. If they don't, they must feel the power of a consumer boycott.

Listen: Once again, Jeremy Bowen is misleading the public about Gaza Read by Matthew Alford

Yet again the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen is misrepresenting a key issue in Gaza – and as always, he is doing so in a way that places Israel in the most flattering light possible.

It's revealing the importance being placed on Hamas returning the bodies of Israeli captives.

And yet no one cared about Israel's decades-long refusal to hand back many hundreds of bodies of Palestinians it was holding.

Did their families not need a grave to grieve over?

Once again, Jeremy Bowen is misleading the British public about Gaza The BBC international editor is required to report what Hamas actually thinks. Otherwise he is not a journalist, he's just another western propagandist

Once again, Jeremy Bowen is misleading the British public about Gaza.

The Red Cross say it'll be a "massive challenge" to find the graves of the last Israeli captives under mountains of rubble from Israel's levelling of Gaza.

Having created a near-impossible task for Hamas, Israel's using it to justify keeping up its genocidal starvation campaign.

After two years of seeing children shredded, buried under rubble, and starved, our establishment newspapers' front pages finally have something to care about: Israeli hostages.

If only they had been this worked up about the dead, mutilated and malnourished children of Gaza.

Listen: Israel is the excuse to snatch away freedoms we once took for granted Read by Matthew Alford

UK education secretary Bridget Phillipson has made clear she plans to exploit the pause in the Gaza genocide to snuff out criticism of Israel’s criminal actions – and her own government’s collusion in that criminality.

Israel is the excuse to snatch away freedoms we once took for granted Starmer's government is ripping up the rulebook on protest to protect Israel – from classing protests as 'terrorism' to banning repeat marches and fining universities that allow student to demonstrate

Former British diplomat challenges Palestine Action ban in Scotland Craig Murray argues proscription order contravenes rights to freedom of speech under European convention of human rights

Former British ambassador challenges legality in Scotland of the Starmer government's proscription of Palestine Action, arguing that a "plainly absurd" law violates the principles of Scottish jurisprudence. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The Guardian joins the chorus pretending a Gaza peace deal was possible because of Trump's "juggernaut" personality.

The truth: without US weapons, Israel would have been unable to wreck Gaza and commit a genocide.

The US could have stopped this from day one, had it wished to.

Blinkered Bowen The BBC’s International Editor On The ‘Gaza War’

Jeremy Bowen's reporting on Gaza for the BBC over the past two years has been shameful – and that is not more obvious only because the bar set by others is even lower.

Media Lens on how Bowen betrayed the victims of genocide: medialens.substack.com/p/blinkered-...

The BBC still furiously peddling the fiction that Trump "railroaded" Netanyahu into a peace deal.

No, the US could have secured a deal any time over the past two years by ending the shipments of bombs.

Washington *chose* to keep the genocide going till Gaza was levelled.

Gaza genocide two years on: The West must be deradicalised so this never happens again This brutal war on Palestinians has not just unleashed Israel's demons. It has unmasked our own regimes, as they crack down on humanitarian activism

Were Russia to kidnap and torture British citizens, would that simply be "a matter for the Russian government", in the view of Starmer's office?

Listen: No one in power respects my grief. And no one is coming to console me Read by Matthew Alford

I grieve over the designation of any practical effort to stop the slaughter in Gaza as “terrorism”.

I grieve over the condemnation by politicians and the media of my grief as “antisemitism”.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has carefully weighed the balance needed between protecting the ancient right to protest and limiting the ancient right to protest.

And she's decided instead to scrap the ancient right to protest.

Britain the police state is officially here.

The BBC and Home Secretary conveniently ignoring *why* anti-genocide protesters were out on the streets the same day as the Manchester attack:

Because Israel had just abducted hundreds of activists, including Britons, trying to break its illegal starvation-siege of Gaza.
