With winter here and in desperation to keep warm, people in Gaza are burning rubbish, and one MK thinks it should cost them their lives. Right, so you look at the state of Israeli politics some days and think it can’t possibly get more brazen, and then a lawmaker sits in a Knesset committee and says Palestinians who burn rubbish should be shot or b*mbed and, somehow, the people in the room don’t flinch. They agree. They treat it like a policy point, not a proposal for k*lling civilians over a waste fire. And you real...

Microsoft is facing investor pressure from Norway and regulator pressure in Ireland for it's Israel links, so will they be held to account? Right, so Microsoft has spent years telling the world it’s the sensible one in Big Tech, the adult in the room, the company that doesn’t get itself dragged into political mud fights because it’s too busy selling trust and responsibility by the terabyte. Yet here it is, knee-deep in a surveillance scandal tied to an occupation the world is now calling out in the strongest terms, and suddenly all that corporate calm looks like a...

The BBC has come out in support of the EBU decision to include Israel in next year's Eurovision - but then the BBC helps fund it out of the licence fee! Right, so here’s the thing about Eurovision this year, and the BBC I daresay might have really hoped nobody would join the dots on this – sorry, not sorry. Because while the Eurovision Broadcasting Union was busy insisting the contest is not political – as if you can put Israel on stage while Gaza is being levelled and expect nobody to notice – the BBC have stepped forward to say it agree...

The Trump plan for Gaza has taken an even darker turn as a UN block to a real peace plan to make way for it has just emerged. Right, so here’s the thing nobody at the United Nations wants to say out loud: Gaza didn’t get a peace plan this year, it got a paperwork barricade, and the only people it protects are the ones who built it. Colombia tried to drag the UN toward that fabled Uniting for Peace resolution because the Security Council had choked six ceasefire resolutions in a row thanks to the dratted US v...

Eurovision has rolled over for Israel and four other nations have walked out over it, but another body HAS had the guts to so no to Israel... Right, so Eurovision has finally hit the point where the organisers can’t keep up the pretence anymore, because when Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands and Slovenia all walk rather than share a stage with Israel, it tells you the whole neutrality myth has rotted through. The European Broadcasting Union is still trying to sell the idea that this isn’t political, which is quite something when the public can watch Gaza being leve...

Benjamin Netanyahu's desperation for a pardon has now seen even former Israeli police officers turn against him now. Right, so for the first time in twenty years you can actually see Benjamin Netanyahu flinch, because no man who thinks he’s winning asks the president to pardon him before the case is over, and no man who believes in his own innocence rings Donald Trump begging for a second round of help to secure said pardon, yet here he is doing both, and pretending it’s about “national unity” while four hundred retired police officers have joined forces, warning Isaac He...

Israel is making some big claims about the Rafah crossing opening for Gazans to leave. It seems they forgot to tell Egypt though... Right, so Israel has announced it’s about to open Rafah “in the coming days,” and Egypt has apparently replied with the diplomatic equivalent of “don’t even start,” and the fact both sides can say completely opposite things with a straight face tells you more about this situation than the announcement itself ever will. Israel says the gate will open exclusively for exit, which is convenient when you’re the one controlling the gate, and Egypt says it...

The Green Party co-Deputy Mothin Ali has visited Bronzefield prison to meet with FIlton 24 hunger strikers, held without charge - political prisoners. Right, so you look at the state of Britain in 2025 and you realise we’ve reached the point where people are starving themselves in prison just to be heard now, and the government still acts like they’re a filing error, actually acting with casual indifference in my view, since they’ve done nothing about it. Six hunger strikers on remand, at least one hospitalised, trials drifting into next year, and the political class can’t even pretend...

The BBC has been caught out pushing neutrality over Venezuela - until their chosen guests funding sources came out... Right, so the BBC has done it again it seems. You can always tell when Washington is gearing up for something ugly, because the BBC suddenly discovers a new “expert” who — surprise, surprise — sounds like they’re telling you exactly what the US State Department wants you to hear. And this time of course it’s Venezuela in the crosshairs, with the BBC quietly wheeling out an analyst whose organisation literally takes hundreds of thousands of dollars from the same US governmen...

The funniest kind of political self own are the self-inflicted kind and no fewer than 20 Labour MPs fell for this one - the greedy gets! Right, so here’s the thing: when a fake Hong Kong investment firm that doesn’t exist can stroll into Westminster and get meetings with Labour MPs who think they’re about to land a tidy little advisory gig, you stop pretending the problem is subtle. Led By Donkeys and Democracy for Sale didn’t run some clever espionage caper here; they slapped a logo on a made-up company, got the Chamber Group to make the...

Venezuela might have just broken Trump before he's put a single boot on the ground by hitting the orange one right where it hurts most... Right, so Donald Trump has spent the last few weeks insisting he’s cracking down on Venezuelan drug trafficking, despite offering no evidence for any of it, and now he’s moved from sea to land as if scaling up a military campaign is just another line in a speech. He’s declared Venezuelan airspace “completely closed” as if the United States suddenly owns South America, and he’s doing it after more than twenty strik...

In seeking to clamp down on its own armed forces, Israel have accidentally exposed far more to the world than they ever intended! Right, so Israel keeps telling us it has the most moral army on Earth, and yet here we are: the government has had to build an AI censor just to stop that same army posting what it actually does. If your troops are as saintly as you claim, you don’t need a machine scanning their TikToks in real time. But soldiers have been filming everything — raids, smashed homes, detainees, the lot — and instead of asking why th...

The Jersey based Palestine activist Natalie Strecker has been acquitted over terror support and it's exposed Starmer's lawfare like never before! Right, so you can tell when a government has run out of arguments to defend Israel, because that’s when it starts inventing terror threats out of thin air, and the Starmer crew just tried exactly that with Jersey based activist Natalie Strecker. They scraped four social media posts out of tens of thousands, mangled the digital evidence with a software bug, shipped in outside “help” to steer a prosecution Jersey didn’t need steering, and still couldn’t convince...

So Benjamin Netanyahu has decided he wants a pardon, but still won't admit guilt and as a result is turning into his biggest self own to date. Right, so you always know a government has gone past the point of embarrassment and into full-blown panic when the man running it tries to escape his own trial while still standing in the dock, and that’s exactly what Benjamin Netanyahu has just done. A sitting prime minister, still facing three corruption cases, still denying every charge, still telling the country the courts will vindicate him, suddenly decides the safest place to...

An independent media outlet just sent an Israeli arms firm fleeing from Britain, because that's the power of real journalism. Right, so you can always tell when a political access operation has gone wrong, because everyone involved suddenly pretends it was never happening, and that’s exactly what we’ve just seen with Rafael’s little UK adventure. A state-owned Israeli weapons manufacturer turns up calling itself a British company, slides £1,499 into a parliamentary group that’s not allowed to take foreign-government money, gets cosy access to MPs under the banner of “defence technology”, and nobody inside Westminster notices a thing until...

Donald Trump's Gaza takeover plan has fallen at the first hurdle, but then it was always going to when peace meant jumping to Israel's tune. Right, so here’s the thing about Trump’s grand Gaza plan: it’s only “historic” if you judge history by how fast a policy collapses under the weight of its own nonsense. The United States marched into the UN Security Council with a straight face and sold a blueprint that puts Trump in charge of Gaza’s transition, hands sweeping authority to a Board of Peace that still hasn’t been staffed, and demands an Int...

Christian pilgrims have returned to the Holy Land, but have faced torrents of abuse from Israelis - you'd think they'd welcome the tourism! Right, so you can always tell when Israel’s spin machine is wobbling, because something leaks out through a source that normally acts like a government loudhailer. And that’s exactly what’s happened here: Christian tourists finally start trickling back into Jerusalem after a year of war and a ninety-per-cent tourism collapse, and what do they find? Not welcome, not safety, not the “shared civilisation” nonsense Western governments like to parrot — they find ultra-Orthodox men spitting at...

Israel has thrown its own tech industry under a bus again with a pathetic stunt in Gaza, but its backfired deservedly. Right, so you can always tell when a state stops pretending it cares about civilian life, because it starts doing things even its own lies can’t cover, and Israel has been doing that again in Gaza, blocking antibiotics and dialysis supplies while somehow letting gold-plated iPhones glide straight through the crossing. You don’t need a grand theory to see what’s going on there; you just need the memory of Lebanon, where pagers packed with explosives maimed...

Israel's plans for further war in Lebanon have hit a major snag - Saudi Arabia don't want to pay for it if they get no say in the matter! Right, so Israel has reached the point where it thinks it can dictate the terms of Lebanon’s survival, and it’s doing it openly now, without even pretending the threat is conditional. Extremist defence minister Israel Katz stands in the Knesset and says Hezbollah must disarm by the end of the year or Israel will “work forcefully again in Lebanon,” and he ties that threat to the assassination they’ve just ca...

Labour's attempts to tie the IHRA definition of antisemitism to NHS employment agreements is getting a deserved pasting! Right, so you look at what the government’s doing to the NHS and you have to laugh, because if they were trying any harder to prove the Forde Report right they’d invoice themselves for the labour. They’ve decided the health service isn’t creaking because of understaffing or collapsing infrastructure — oh no, the real emergency is that too many nurses have opinions the government doesn’t approve of. So now the Department for Health and Social Care is rolling out...

Israel is facing an absolute existential crisis as tens of thousands of key role workers emigrate, with far fewer choosing to move there in return. Right, so Israel keeps telling the world it’s winning, it’s strong, it’s stable, it’s unbreakable — and meanwhile more than a quarter of its own population is quietly checking flight prices and Googling residency visas. When seventy-nine thousand people leave in a single year and the state can only tempt forty-six thousand back, you don’t need a demographer to tell you what direction the country is heading in. You just need a calen...

Labour's appalling for the few not the many budget is up a certain creek without a paddle as the hidden truths emerge! Right, so you can always tell when a government is about to pick your pocket because it spends the entire week insisting it’s doing you a favour. This time around, they’ve spent the last month doing that and that’s exactly what Rachel Reeves has done with this budget. She calls it a plan for ordinary working people, she used that phrase, as if the numbers haven’t already shown it’s the workers who are paying...

The Starmer regime plan to strip us of 800 years of trial by jury, because suddenly jurors are the problem, but its been tried before - and failed badly. Right, so you always know the country’s in trouble when a government starts calling a constitutional right an “efficiency problem”, because that’s how you sell something you’d never dare say plainly. And that’s what’s happening now with jury trials. They’ve taken a backlog they created through court closures, CPS collapse and a decade of cuts, and decided the real issue is the public being in the room. So ins...

The Palestine Action judicial review has been slammed for what appear to be dodgy doings in changing the judges Right, so you can always tell when the British state is nervous, because it stops pretending it isn’t. And that’s exactly what’s happened with the Palestine Action judicial review. A judge who granted permission for the case has been removed from it. No reason, no explanation, just gone. And in his place the judiciary has quietly installed a panel that reads like the Home Office’s wish-list: the government’s former national-security attack dog, the judge who has alread...

Albania relies on tourism to the tune of 25% of its economy. So will building an arms factory for Israel there make it your next holiday pick or BDS target? Right, so Albania has picked one hell of a moment to wander into Israel’s arms trade, hasn’t it? But they very much have. A country that lives off ten million tourists a year has decided the smartest move, right in the middle of an ICJ genocide case, is to host a weapons plant for the state actually standing in the dock. You couldn’t make it up. They’re takin...

Singapore has ignored Israel's Gaza atrocities for two years, but now suddenly they hand out sanctions...with Iran in the background. Right, so Singapore has finally sanctioned four Israelis, and you almost have to laugh, because if there was ever a state that could stretch the definition of “late to the party” into a full diplomatic philosophy, it’s Singapore. Two years of Gaza being levelled, two years of famine warnings, two years of the International Court of Justice saying the risk of genocide is real and ongoing, and Singapore didn’t move an inch. Then four settler extremists in the W...

The strike on Beirut, the latest breach of the Lebanon ceasefire might finally be the last straw, but is anyone actually capable of retaliating anymore? Right, so here’s the thing about this so-called ceasefire on the Lebanese front: it’s only ever been a ceasefire if you squint hard enough to pretend the body count doesn’t matter. Israel has been hitting refugee camps, blowing up towns, scattering cluster munitions across valleys and calling it restraint, and Lebanon has been told to take it on the chin because apparently that’s what good neighbours do now. Then Israel strolls...

Palestine Action might have just got a huge boost, as Starmer's terror hypocrisy gets exposed by - of all places - MI6! Right, so you know the government’s lost the plot when the only people treated like terrorists in Britain are the ones trying to stop actual weapons being built. Because while ministers were busy criminalising cardboard signs and dragging Palestine Action supporters off the pavement outside the Ministry of Justice, and with the Judicial Review of this proscription, this news story becomes even more pertinent, their own intelligence service was off quietly forging a relationship with Hay’at T...

Iran have released the seized tanker Talara, having kept its cargo and yet nobody has complained! The reason is genius. Right, so Iran has just released a tanker it picked up in the Strait of Hormuz, sent the crew on their way, let the hull drift back into the shipping lanes and quietly kept thirty thousand tonnes of petrochemical cargo that used to belong to someone tied—through one of those Cyprus shell companies nobody ever admits owning—to the ruling circles in Azerbaijan, the same Azerbaijan that supplies most of Israel’s crude. And we’re meant to believe...

Benjamin Netanyahu wandering the Syrian countryside like he owned the place has backfired, as Russia are now taking out a lease... Right, so Israel has spent months treating the Quneitra frontier like a bit of empty countryside nobody would miss, pushing in a little further each week and assuming Syria would just swallow it because the new leadership has been too busy rebuilding a state in its Al-Qaeda castoff image to fight over every inch of soil. And for a while that was true. Syria tried playing the good diplomatic citizen after sanctions were lifted, tried talking, tried keeping...

Epstein leaks have just exposed links between a former Israeli PM, their cyber tech sector and Rothschild banking. Right, so the funny thing about this leak — if you can call any of this funny — is that it finally puts in writing what a lot of people have been saying for years but were dismissed as conspiratorial for even hinting at. Because if you’d told anyone a decade ago that the convicted trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a former Israeli prime minister, the Rothschild banking dynasty and the world’s most notorious offensive cyber industry were all turning up in the same ema...

Trump has managed to get his Gaza peace plan passed at the UN, but the fallout for him and Netanyahu over this con has only just begun. Right, so the UN Security Council has just signed off on Donald Trump chairing a foreign board to run Gaza, a multinational force with authority to use “all necessary measures” to disarm the very groups Israel has spent the last two years trying and failing to destroy whilst committing genocide, and a transition plan that keeps Israel’s perimeter exactly where it is while pretending the occupation has somehow ended. And the only p...

Germany is to restore arms exports to Israel in full despite their ongoing ceasefire breaches, but raids at home have exposed some peak hypocrisy. Right, so Germany has decided the ceasefire in Gaza is “stable” enough to restart weapons shipments to Israel from the 24 November, even though the UN and various news agencies have continued to have been logging violations almost as fast as they happen, on pretty much a daily basis and that tells you where Berlin’s head is frankly doesn’t it? They’re not watching the ceasefire; they’re watching for the moment they can say it’s res...

Israel have got the final say in a US-Saudi deal, because guess who's really in charge? But the Saudis are having none of it... Right, so you’d think a country that builds the jet, pays for the jet, and signs off every nut and bolt on the jet would get to decide who actually flies the thing, but apparently not, because the moment Saudi Arabia asks for an F-35 the whole decision jumps across the Atlantic and lands in the one place that’s already said it won’t give an inch on Palestinian statehood. Israel has told the Tr...

The case against eight protesters over their actions at a Gal Gadot film in London has fallen at the first hurdle & Zionist tears are falling! Right, so imagine trying to haul eight anti-genocide activists into court using a Thatcher-era anti-union law and watching the whole thing collapse before you could squeeze out a single Hollywood tear. That’s what happened here, and it tells you everything you need to know about the state of policing, the state of politics and the state of the “actress” at the centre of it, Gal Gadot, who has spent years defending Israeli v*olence...

Seizing asylum seekers valuables while ignoring public calls for a wealth tax on billionaires is a question Labour is failing to answer. Right, so the government says it can’t possibly tax billionaires — too complicated, too risky, they might leave, too upsetting for the people who actually matter — but it can take jewellery off an asylum seeker without breaking a sweat in exchange for letting them stay, but they are then in for a 20 year wait if they want to stay for good, offering up whatever baubles they managed to save, for no security at all. And they say that w...

Israel is embroiled in an all new scandal as they've been caught deporting Gazans to South Africa without anyone knowing they were coming, Right, so you know things have gone sideways when a planeload of Palestinians turns up in Johannesburg and the South African government has to ask who sent them, why nobody called ahead, and why half of them didn’t even know they were coming until the stopover in Nairobi. And then you look at the paperwork and realise there isn’t any, which is always a good sign when civilians are being moved out of a war...

Israel has been stealing land yet again and for a change its not from Palestine, but firing at the witnesses wasn't a good idea either... Right, so Israel have been busy redrawing borders in their favour again, and they didn’t even bother pretending otherwise this time. The UN has measured the concrete, mapped the breaches, and written down exactly where Israel has shoved its latest wall across the Blue Line. Lebanon has filed the complaint, UNIFIL has logged the violations, and the only people acting surprised are the ones who always act surprised when Israel helps itself to la...

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi has torn a strip off US-Israeli relations and exposed something else in the process. Right, so Iran has finally said the quiet part out loud, and of course it lands like heresy in Washington because the accusation is not that the United States is biased or heavy-handed or looking the other way, it’s that the world’s self-appointed guardian of international law has stripped the wiring out of the system to let Israel run a regional free-fire zone. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is standing there in Tehran saying the US is replac...

As the US prepares to present the UN Security Council with a ham peace plan for Gaza, Russia just pulled a fast one on them all. Right, so the United States is walking into the Security Council tomorrow pretending it’s about to unveil a peace plan, when everyone who’s read the documents knows it’s a colour-coded land grab dressed up as diplomacy. They’re calling it stabilisation, which is an interesting choice of wording when the map splits Gaza into a green zone Israel gets to rebuild and police, and a red zone where more than two mill...
