    The Salisbury Festival of Russophobia Opens Today

    Monday, 14 October 2024 — Craig Murray

    Today is the grand opening of the Salisbury Festival of Russophobia, otherwise known as the Public Inquiry into the death of Dawn Sturgess, an unfortunate victim of imperialist spy games.

    Do not be fooled. This is not in any sense a genuine public inquiry, supposed to get at the truth. This is an inquiry like the Hutton Inquiry into the death of Dr David Kelly, designed entirely to conceal the truth and further the official narrative.

    Remember his name – Shaaban al-Dalou

    Tuesdsy, 15 October 2024 — Al Mayadeen English

    20-year-old Shaaban al-Dalou and his mother were tragically killed, burned alive after Israeli airstrikes targeted tents near Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.

    Shaaban was not just a victim of “Israel’s” relentless genocide; he was a promising software engineering student who remained committed to his studies despite the constant bombings. He had also memorized the entire Quran.

    Just days before his tragic death, Shaaban filmed a short video from Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital, where he described the intense suffering of his family. The video, which went viral, highlighted their displacement, the freezing cold they endured, and how they were forced to live in a fragile tent under the relentless Israeli assault.

    Shaaban had previously survived a massacre on October 6, when Israeli forces attacked a mosque outside the same hospital, killing 20 Palestinians in another brutal attack.

    Israel’s roots in European colonialism explain its genocidal ideology

    Tuesday, 15 October 2024 —Geopolitical Economy

    To understand the genocide that Israel is carrying out in Gaza, with the support of North America and Europe, it is crucial to recognize Zionism’s roots in Western colonialism.

    Ben Norton

    Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. This is precisely what numerous United Nations experts have determined.

    A Message to the Western Left

    Coca Cola (red), Great Criticism series. Poster: Wang Guangyi.Coca Cola (red), Great Criticism series. Poster: Wang Guangyi.

    By Saheli Chowdhury

    Starting to write this, the first question that I ask myself is, who am I addressing? While the divisions among the left in general are notorious anywhere in the world, they are at another level when it comes to the so-called West, which is ironic given the almost non-existent success of the left in that part of the world. Nevertheless, taking into consideration the current dominant iterations, I suppose that the left in the West includes anything from liberalism to anarchism to Trotskyism to what is called Maoism – everything except solidarity – real solidarity without footnotes or parenthesis – with the anti-imperialist struggles in the “uncivilised” and “politically incorrect” rest of the world, whatever form such struggle may assume.

    Explainer: As Israel bombards Beirut, we take a look at Britain’s military role in Lebanon.

    In his first public speech as chief of MI6 in 2021, Sir Richard Moore said his intelligence agency was “actively focused on Iran”.

    This was part of what he described as a “dramatic change in the security landscape” in which there was “a growing threat from state actors”.

    Resistance pact signs ‘Israel’s’ death warrant

    Monday, 14 October 2024 — Al Mayadeen English

    • Kit Klarenberg

    All the pact’s signatories will provide “comprehensive” economic, military, and political assistance to one another, should they come under attack from the Zionist entity or its allies.cd

    On October 7, it was announced that Iran’s parliament is drafting a defense and security pact, which will formally bind the Resistance, “and their supporting countries,” together in a common, collaborative military structure to counter external threats, “particularly from the US and Israel.” Unremarked upon in the West, this is a seismic move, representing the most monumental nail hammered into “Israel’s” coffin since Palestinian freedom fighters struck deep inside the Zionist entity’s putrid heart a year prior. The proclamation’s timing was absolutely no coincidence.

    Israel burning people alive Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital

    Monday, 14 October 2024 — Al Mayadeen English

    “I swear to God, the man, the woman, and the little girl were burning right in front of me.”

    The Israeli occupation is burning people alive in Gaza, a little over one year after it launched its ongoing genocide against Palestinians in the Strip.

    In the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, the IOF bombed tents of displaced Palestinians where they had been seeking shelter.

    The videos that emerged online showed devastating scenes from the massacre. In some videos, Palestinians graphically described the Israeli-made horror they are being forced to live and witness.

    In one video, a young Palestinian man cried:

    “I swear to God, the man, the woman, and the little girl were burning right in front of me.”

    He explained how no one was able to help because the fire was so massive that several Palestinians turned into ashes right in front of everyone’s eyes.

    Zigzags of fate—the life of a Russian national in Africa

    Monday, 14 October 2024 — New Eastern Outlook

    Yuriy Zinin

    “Cossack in the Saharan Wilds,” “adventuress” and “gifted writer”—different authors have applied various epithets to Isabel Eberhard, in whose unusual fate there is much that remains intriguing and mysterious.

    Isabel Eberhard

    120 years ago, on October 21, 1904, an unprecedented downpour hit the oasis of Aïn Séfra in the Algerian Sahara. Its torrents swept away the mud huts and claimed the lives of many villagers. Among them was a Russian national, 27-year-old Isabelle Eberhardt, who was buried in a Muslim cemetery.

    Gaza – 42,227 murdered

    Sunday, 13 October 2024 — Al Mayadeen English

    By day 373 of “Israel’s” war on Gaza, the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces’ (IOF) indiscriminate and deliberate, bombing has risen to 42,227, in addition to 98,464 injuries, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced in its daily report.

    In 24 hours, the IOF committed four massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, killing 52 and injuring 128, reported the Ministry.

    In a statement, the Government Media Office in Gaza said the occupation forces are preventing medical and Civil Defense teams from recovering the bodies of dozens of martyrs from the streets and roads. Needless to say, the IOF are still actively working to completely destroy Gaza’s healthcare system and hospitals in a deliberate, calculated, and systematic manner.

    Leaked: How MI6 Exploits Palestinian Refugees

    Sunday, 13 October 2024 — Global Delinquents

    Kit Klarenberg

    Leaked files expose the intensive interest taken in Palestinians by British intelligence operatives, and Foreign Office-funded and directed cutouts, over many years. Collectively, the material leaves little room for doubt that the British government has long sought to covertly surveil, infiltrate, and manipulate Palestinians within and without their homeland for malign ends, while exploiting their suffering to serve London’s geopolitical objectives.

    Israel kills 300+ people in 9 days

    Sunday, 13 October 2024 — Al Mayadeen English

    The Government Media Office in Gaza reported that more than 300 people have been killed in northern Gaza by Israeli forces over the past nine days. The office accused “Israel” of executing a large-scale forced displacement plan, describing it as “the largest and most dangerous American-Israeli plot of the 21st century.”

    The office further said that the displacement of Palestinians from northern Gaza is part of a coordinated American-Israeli agenda, labeling it a “criminal war of extermination.”

    The Media Office also called on the international community, particularly Russia and China, to intervene to put an end to the ongoing “crimes of the occupation.”

    The situation in the northern Gaza Strip continues to escalate, with the Media Office warning of further massacres as Israeli aggression intensifies.

    Israel: Simply No Red Lines At All

    Friday, 11 October 2024 — Craig Murray


    There is literally no act so vile that the UK, US and Germany will not support if perpetrated by the terrorist state of Israel.Yesterday Israel:

    • deliberately attacked UN peacekeepers in three separate bases;
    • bombed residential central Beirut killing and maiming hundreds;
    • abducted, beat up and held an American journalist;
    • slaughtered 30 Palestinian refugees in an UNRWA school;
    • was found by an official UN Commission Report to be guilty of the crime against humanity of “extermination” in Gaza.

    Any single one of these outrages would be roundly condemned if committed by any country at all except Israel, and would lead to repercussions.

    Imperialism’s Striving for Expansion

    Sunday, 13 October 2024 — Peoples Democracy

    Prabhat Patnaik

    THE “inevitable striving of finance capital”, Lenin had written in Imperialism, (is) “to enlarge its spheres of influence and even its actual territory”. He was writing of course in a world marked by inter-imperialist rivalry, where this striving took the form of a competitive struggle between rival finance capitals that speedily completed the partitioning of the world, leaving no “empty spaces”; only a repartitioning of the world was thenceforth possible, through wars among rival financial oligarchies. The wars that were actually unleashed however led to a weakening of imperialism and the splitting off of parts of the world from its hegemony, through socialist revolutions and the process of decolonisation that socialism helped to usher in.

    The US is unprepared for the scale of war it is provoking around the globe

    Saturday, 12 October 2024 — New Atlas

    Like many other US missile systems, production of THAAD missiles is low. Produced from 2008 to present, Lockheed Martin has produced 800 missiles, approximately 50 a year.

    It is likely not enough launchers exist to even launch the quantity of missiles required to defend against the type of missile barrage Iran launched in early October which easily overwhelmed Israel’s existing anti-ballistic missile systems.

    But even if they did, the 180 missiles Iran reportedly launched, requiring up to 2 interceptors each, would have exhausted nearly half of all THAAD missiles ever produced.

    The US is unprepared for the scale of war it is provoking around the globe.

    Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif released video evidence of a baby that was newly born in Gaza and was shot in the head the same day, during Israel’s ongoing massacres in the north of the territory, where Jabalia Refugee Camp’s remaining residents are surrounded and are unable to escape. Israeli forces have killed over 2,100 infants and toddlers in Gaza over the last 12-months.
