  Anti-Jewish hatred exists and persists, so does fake antisemitism accusations to protect Israel.   Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism, but obviously there is anti-Jewish hatred amongst its adherent’s, which should always be condemned.  Let’s be very clear, Israel has no ‘right’ to exist. This is the anti-Zionist position opposing the Zionist position that ‘the Jews have a right to self-determination’ through a ‘Jewish State’ in Palestine. The ‘self-determination’ of one group cannot be achieved by disallowing ‘self-determination’ to the indigenous population. Under the British Mandate only 8% of Palestinians were Jews, the Zionists were from Europe and influenced by Colonialist ideology and European ‘supremacism’.   When the PLO recognised Israel in the 90’s, that was a huge compromise, it was not a statement giving legitimacy to a Colonial land grab that stole Palestinian land and ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinian people to become refugees in Lebanon, Syr...

Western liberalism has hijacked the media to back its war mongering ‘liberal interventionism’ and to bring down their opponents on the left and the right.   I had a gut feeling that the media and legal onslaught against Trump would backfire. The fact that these ‘Russia links’ had no evidential basis, meant that he could build the narrative of ‘fake news’ to cover up stories that were actually true. Because the media were bias, a disillusioned and sceptical electorate became attracted to the alternative to the ‘Washington swamp’ of politicians and the media that backed them.  The very same conditions presented themselves in the UK with brexit and Farage. The Liberal media slavishly ridiculed opponents of the EU project. UKIP won over the disillusioned electorate who observed the bias and wanted to give the ‘Establishment’ Parties ‘a good kicking’. Once again the political Right could use the ‘fake news’ narrative and use the growing scepticism amongst populations about Politici...

Israel are correct. There is ‘no moral equivalence’ between them and Hamas. The State military terror regime and its brutal occupation of Palestine is far more lethal and deadly than a Islamist resistance movement. Israel’s military killing machine is 40 times more lethal, barbarous and destructive for civilians. Hamas committed an atrocity on one day, the Israeli war planes, bombs, drones, quadcoptors, tanks and guns have assailed Gaza’s population every single day for now, over 400 days. Near to 80% of its buildings inhabitable, civilians fired upon while being forced into displacement camps. Most Hospitals destroyed, those open without anaesthetics, pain killers or oxygen to treat childrens mutilated and amputated bodies. Schools, aid centres, mosque’s, ambulance’s, journalists, medics and nurses systematically targeted. Hamas kidnapped innocent hostages and holds them underground. The IDF for decades have kidnapped young people and children and detained them in military jails witho...

  No Justice, No Peace   A Two-State solution (Revisited) A single, secular, democratic State of Palestine for Jews and Arabs, protecting Islam, Christianity and Judaism, ending Zionist Colonialism, is a beautiful but I believe, delusional ideal. Not only that, awaiting the ideal and denying a compromise already agreed by the PLO 30 years ago(universally accepted as the ‘sole representative of the Palestinian people’) would be like western ‘revolutionary communists’ endlessly waiting for the ‘proletarian revolution’ while condemning participation in the democratic process under capitalism.  Increasingly, some on the left, and other Pro-Palestinian voices in the Western world, are taking on an aggressive tone in dismissing ‘Two-Stater’s’ as sell- outs. This is a position that deserves to still be taken seriously, despite the corruption and collaboration by Abbas and other elements of the PA. I point specifically to Marwan Barghouti, the leader who consistently comes top of...

It is now 12 months since the October 7th massacre, a day of terror and lethal violence suffered    by largely Israeli civilians,    perpetrated by Hamas and other armed groups. There were mass casualties and 251 Israelis kidnapped and held as hostages in Gaza with just over a hundred believed to still be alive. Let’s be clear, the following is no excuse for the October 7th atrocity. No historical suffering can be used to justify the attack on the civilians involved. However it can help us to understand the context, the motivations but also make comparisons with Israel’s violence.  It is also now 365 continuous days, and counting, of terror and lethal violence suffered by Palestinian civilians and armed combatants. An act of vengeance and collective punishment so destructive and disproportionate, that it has resulted in Israel being taken to the International Court of Justice for ‘Genocide’ and the ICC putting together arrest warrants under the ‘Geneva Conventio...

A number of questions arise in the wake of increasing far-right terrorist attacks. The obvious, like how he can legally obtain a gun and without mental health checks?  The link between, Norway, New Zealand and US shootings is a fascist, White Supremacist ideology/meme, that is being aped in more ‘moderate’ Conservative circles. That is ‘The Grand Replacement Theory’. The belief that White Europeans are being replaced by non-whites and therefore, ‘our way of life’ is under attack along with Christianity(despite the vast majority of Black populations in the US/EU being Christian). Under this warped theory, white people are facing an existential crisis and so need to unify and oppose any ‘Liberal’ or ‘Woke’ ‘collaboration with the enemy’- meaning non-white immigrants and Liberal/Woke/Left wing ideologies, policies or activists.  The above, is of course classic fascism, not ‘concern about immigration’ but ultra Nationalist ‘purity’, Supremacy of people from European decent. Howeve...
