  • Bad Old Habits: Israel Backs Palestinian Militias in Gaza

    It is one of those things that should be recorded and replayed for eternity: Israel, in order to guard some misplaced sense of security, happily backs Palestinian groups in order to divide themselves. Hamas, seen now as an existential monster, was tolerated and even supported for lengthy stints in efforts to undermine the various factions […]

  • Is There a Crack in Western Support for Genocide?

    Is There a Crack in Western Support for Genocide?

    Dorothy Shea, interim US representative to the UN, vetoed a resolution for a permanent ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian aid for Gaza on June 5th, 2025 – Photo via US mission to the UN.

  • Zen And The Art Of New York Times Headline Writing

    Zen And The Art Of New York Times Headline Writing

    The New York Times has just published one of the most insane headlines I have ever seen it publish, which is really saying something. “Gaza’s Deadly Aid Deliveries,” the title blares. If you were among the majority of people who only skim the headline without reading the rest of the article, you would have no idea that […]

  • Israel is fully integrating its Gaza ‘food aid hubs’ into the genocide

    Israel is fully integrating its Gaza ‘food aid hubs’ into the genocide

    It is entirely unsurprising that Israel has yet again been caught out in a lie – a lie that the BBC once again spread far and wide on its news services. Israel claimed that it had not fired at starving Palestinians queuing on Sunday morning to get food from one of its highly militarised “aid […]

  • Palestine and the Conscience of China

    Palestine and the Conscience of China

    Illustration by Fourate Chahal El Rekaby, tni [A] lot of people across the global majority are asking the extremely serious question: why the BRICS, and especially why Russia and China, are not doing more than what they’re doing on behalf of Palestine and to defend Palestine. This is an extremely serious question and it’s not […]

  • Genocide in Gaza: The BBC’s Self-Inflicted “Trust Crisis”

    Genocide in Gaza: The BBC’s Self-Inflicted “Trust Crisis”

    BBC News regularly proclaims its supposed editorial principles of fearless, independent, impartial, fair and accurate journalism. In a January 2023 speech to the Whitehall & Industry Group in London, then BBC Chairman Richard Sharp boasted that BBC journalism is the ‘global gold standard’ of credible news reporting. Two years previously, in 2021, the public broadcaster […]

  • Israel’s Operation Gideon’s Chariots

    The latest phase of slaughter and seizure on the part of Israeli forces in Gaza has commenced.  Following relentless airstrikes that have left hundreds of Palestinians dead, Operation Gideon’s Chariots is now in full swing, begun even as Israel and Hamas concluded a second day of ceasefire talks in Doha.  The intention, according to the […]

  • Why the Wall of Silence on the Genocide of Gazans is Finally Starting to Crack

    Why the Wall of Silence on the Genocide of Gazans is Finally Starting to Crack

    As Israel unveils its final genocide push, and mass death from starvation looms in Gaza, western media and politicians are tentatively starting to speak up. Who could have imagined 19 months ago that it would take more than a year and a half of Israel slaughtering and starving Gaza’s children for the first cracks to […]

  • To Be a (REAL) Jew

    In 1988 I was travelling from NYC to Arizona by plane one night. It was a long 5 hour flight, and we were on a jumbo jet. I was standing alongside this man, early 40s perhaps, who said he was an Israeli engineer. During our conversation, I asked about his feelings on the Palestinian situation, […]

  • Jeremy Bowen’s Interview with Gaza Aid Chief was Shameful

    Jeremy Bowen’s Interview with Gaza Aid Chief was Shameful

    There was no excuse for the BBC to follow Israel in treating the head of UNRWA as though he is aligned with terrorism. This kind of craven journalism just makes Israel’s job of genocide easier. There was yet more shameful reporting by BBC News at Ten last night, with international editor Jeremy Bowen the chief […]
