Glad to see the NUJ is finally doing something important with our dues to protect what are now threadbare press freedoms from relentless attack by UK governments.

For good reason, western establishments are making it impossible to explain the roots of Israel’s genocide. They are excising the very terminology needed to begin that conversation. Zionism is an ideology that originated centuries ago, embedded in an antisemitic Christian

Superb article by Jonathan Cook on why western governments will never isolate and sanction Israel. The war machine will roll on until either we stop it or its lethal games blow up in all our faces. An absolute must read:

The voices of sanity in our bipartisan political and media landscape are vanishingly rare. Here's one:

'Israel has pursued Jewish supremacism to its logical end-point in Gaza: exterminating the population there. Those in favour of arming a genocide are the good guys. Those opposed are the antisemites and supporters of terrorism.'

In committing a genocide, a state crosses a threshold. It cannot be armed into moderation. Nor can it be reasoned into peacemaking. My latest article can be read here: middleeasteye.net/big-story/west…

This is an excellent article, the rare piece of writing on this subject that is grounded in reality. Worth your time to read

When Netanyahu talks about a state only for Jews "from the r1ver to the sea", he's expressing an actual genocidal policy. When Palestinians respond to Israel's genocidal policy by calling for their *liberation* across the same area, suddenly western politicians and media find it

The news from Gaza is being actively buried. Israel’s genocide continues to be tangible, shocking proof that western capitals are not the bastions of democracy and bulwarks against barbarianism they claim to be. Western politicians have been utterly complicit in the genocide – a

Excellent analysis by Jonathan Cook of the UK’s decision on arms sales to Israel👇 "British Jewish leaders are incensed by the 8% cut in weapons to Israel. Judged by the very rules Starmer imposed on Labour, that makes him a proven antisemite"

Western politicians and media are never going to admit that Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. The moment they do, the veil of illusions fostered for decades about Israel – designed to conceal the West’s complicity in Israeli crimes – would be torn away. In committing a

Six takeaways from the UK’s decision on arms sales to Israel the media are hiding: The Guardian reported this week a source from within the Foreign Office confirming what anyone paying close attention already knew. By last February, according to the source, Britain’s then
