US corporations and military planners welcome the ‘legal maneuver space’ Israel has opened up for them to profit from warfare that slaughters and starves civilians. My latest: jonathan-cook.net/2025-07-21/isr…
This is horrifying. Audrey is a real figure in the working class history of Liverpool. I hope she will forgive me saying I believe she is now in her 70's. That we should see her treated like this in Starmer's zionist fascist UK.

"The BBC has not failed. It has done exactly what it is there to do: help the British government conceal the fact that there is a genocide going on in Gaza" ✍️ Opinion by @Jonathan_K_Cook pulse.ly/lk2lbkguq6
The confected Gaza ‘scandals’ are designed to browbeat the BBC into even greater cravenness. If it was reluctant before to give Palestinians a voice, now it will avoid doing so entirely. Read my latest: middleeasteye.net/opinion/how-bb…
Stop selling arms to Israel then.
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now. We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid. gov.uk/government/new…
The deep state-corporate ties that cause the West to protect Israel. Jonathan Cook with the big picture...
Israel’s indispensability to the corporate sector and a captured western political class extends far beyond tiny Gaza. Israel is playing an outsize role as a war-industries incubator on a global battlefield in which the West seeks to ensure its continuing military and economic…
🇧🇪I commend Belgium for arresting & interrogating Israeli war crimes suspects. The pressure to release them must be immense. Even if they escape justice, the precedent is set: universal jurisdiction applies. Others will follow, & war criminals will think twice before traveling.
🔴 BREAKTHROUGH: Two Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes in #Gaza were Arrested and interrogated at #Tomorrowland after a joint complaint by the #HindRajabFoundation & @GLAN_LAW. This is historical! More info ⬇️ hindrajabfoundation.org/perpetrators/b… #JusticeForGaza #NoSafeHaven…
"There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled" Famine expert Alex de Waal on Israel deliberately starving an entire civilian population
One of the Palestinians killed today near an aid distribution point north of Rafah was Mahmoud Abu Muammar, a young footballer. 9 footballers have been killed in Gaza since the start of July. 446 in Gaza and the West Bank since Oct 2023. It took 4 days for FIFA to ban Russia.
This man thinks he is affected by racism in exactly the same way as this woman. What do you even say to this?
"Starmer has decided the MP most affected by racism is not allowed to discuss her perspective on racism because it might upset racists. If it wasn't clear, Reform voters are Starmer's target audience. He's not standing up to racism, he's encouraging it." councilestatemedia.uk/p/british-raci…
After months of a confected furore over a BBC documentary supposedly demonstrating pro-Hamas bias, followed by the shelving of a second film on Gaza, an independent review found this week that the broadcaster had not breached impartiality guidelines. A long list of complaints…
Journalists at the BBC are known to be in revolt on its Gaza coverage. More than 100 signed a letter – anonymously for fear of reprisals – condemning the decision to censor the documentary Doctors under Attack. They said it reflected a mix of “fear” and “anti-Palestinian racism”…
The gain from this manufactured row about BBC "partiality" for the Israel lobby – and for a Starmer government desperate to silence criticism of its complicity in genocide – was set out in stark detail this week by the makers of a second documentary, about Israel’s destruction of…
The only significant finding against the BBC in this week's Johnston Review was on a single issue in its documentary on Gaza’s children, How to Survive a Warzone. The film had not disclosed that its 13-year narrator was the son of an official in Gaza’s Hamas-run government.…
