    Iran will hit Israel, ball is in US-Israeli court

    Thursday, 22 August 2024 — Indian Punchline

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR


    Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian (forefront) secured vote of confidence from the parliament for the entire list of cabinet nominees,  in a rare display of unity, Tehran, August 21, 2024

    There is a Zen proverb — ‘If you want to climb a mountain, begin at the top.’ All the show of contrived enthusiasm by the US President Joe Biden and CIA Director William Burns over a Israel-Hamas deal on Gaza war cannot obfuscate the grim reality that unless and until Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu greenlights it, this is a road to nowhere.

    New government, same support of genocide. We’re demanding action

    Friday, 23 August 2024 — Crowd Justice

    Update on Stop the UK’s profit from war

    On Labour’s 50th day in office, we have written a joint letter with Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), and War on Want condemning the government’s failure to suspend export licences for arms transfers to Israel. 

    Every day that this government fails to take action, the UK is materially and politically supporting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

    From Fight the Power to Work for It: Chuck D, Public Enemy and How the CIA Neutralized Rap

    Thursday, 22 August 2022 — MintPress News

    Surprising many, legendary rapper and activist Chuck D appeared at the White House earlier this summer, announcing that he was joining forces with YouTube and Antony Blinken’s State Department to become one of Washington’s “global music ambassadors” – a role directly modeled on Washington’s Cold War-era efforts to use the arts to inspire U.S.-backed regime change in Eastern Europe, and to use musical tours as covers that the CIA could use to assassinate foreign leaders.

    Combatting the far Right: Different roads can lead to the same destination

    Thursday, 22 August 2024 — Institute of Race Relations

    The far-right-orchestrated riots, birthed in the political and media mainstreaming of hate, has left the communities targeted for racist violence outraged and exhausted. But, with the government choosing to ignore the racist intent of the far Right in favour of the ‘violent thuggery’ narrative, it has become clear that, where the far Right is concerned, the government is part of the problem and not part of the solution. The Home Office’s latest announcement of a beefed-up Border Security Command to combat boat people and ‘smash the gangs’ rehashes, in the words of Praxis, ‘the tired tactics of hostility and division’.

    Cameron ignored legal advice on Gaza

    Thursday, 22 August 2024 — MintPress News

    Despite 300 U.K. civil servants writing to David Cameron urging him to release legal advice about its support for Israel, no such steps have been taken

    In May, when the U.K. government came under blast from hundreds of staff workers from the Foreign Office, after writing a letter to the Foreign Secretary at the time, David Cameron, demanding he release legal advice on the British support for Israel’s assault on Gaza.

    By Fayha Shalash – Ramallah

    The policy of collective punishment against the families of ‘wanted persons’ has long been adopted by Israel but intensified in conjunction with the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip.

    Dunia Dawoud, 52, is still in mourning over her son Tariq, 17, who was killed by the Israeli occupation army several days ago near Qalqilya, north of the West Bank.

    KHive Snitches, Right Wing Liberals, and Palestine
    Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist
    The allegation that only Trump threatens democracy is a useful ruse for the Democratic Party. They continue their support for genocide and ethnic cleansing and fiercely attack anyone who dares to expose them and their very undemocratic ways.

    Will the UK be prosecuted for supporting Israeli war crimes?

    Wednesday, 21 August 2024 — MintPress News

    Fears are mounting within the U.K. government that their officials could be legally responsible for enabling war crimes in Gaza

    Following the resignation of counter-terrorism official Mark Smith, who has accused Israel of “flagrantly and regularly” committing war crimes in Gaza, while stating that his internal protests over weapons transfers had fell on deaf ears, fears are growing of legal repercussions for British officials.

    While the government response to far-right street violence around the country in August has been to promise more resources for public order policing, it is impossible to characterise the shocking wave of racist and anti-migrant attacks as ‘protests’.

    How US Big Tech monopolies colonized the world: Welcome to neo-feudalism

    Tuesday, 20 August 2024 — Geopolitical Economy

    US Big Tech corporations are like feudal landlords of medieval Europe. Silicon Valley monopolies own the digital land the economy is built on, charging rents to use their privatized infrastructure.

    Ben Norton

    US Big Tech corporations have essentially colonized the world. In almost every country on Earth, the digital infrastructure upon which the modern economy was built is owned and controlled by a small handful of monopolies, based largely in Silicon Valley.

    Britain’s Kursk Invasion Backfires

    Tuesday, 20 August 2024 — Internationalist 360°

    Kit Klarenberg

    The determination of Washington’s self-appointed “junior partner” to escalate the proxy conflict into all-out hot war between Russia and the West has only intensified under Starmer’s new Labour government.

    British Challenger 2 tanks reached Ukraine with enormous fanfare, ahead of Kiev’s long-delayed, ultimately catastrophic 2023 “counteroffensive”. On top of encouraging other proxy war sponsors to provide Ukraine with armoured fighting vehicles, Western audiences were widely told the tank – hitherto marketed to international buyers as “indestructible” – made Kiev’s ultimate victory a fait accompli. As it was, Challenger 2 tanks deployed to Robotnye in September were almost instantly incinerated by Russian fire, then very quietly withdrawn from combat altogether.

    We were waiting for Richard Medhurst to arrive and join our panel at the Beautiful Days festival, when he was arrested and imprisoned for 23.5 hours. Obviously we were all worried sick about him.

    Watch on X:

    It is now becoming easier to list the truly dissident UK journalists who have not been arrested for terrorism that those who have! This fascist ploy of labeling journalists as terrorists is incredible. (more…)

    EVENT: mental health and the education system

    Tuesday, 20 August 2024 — Just Treatment

    As we head towards the end of summer, in a couple of weeks children across England, Wales and Northern Ireland will be returning to school, whilst students in Scotland have already recommenced.

    For a lot of children this will be an exciting, positive and happy time. But for many young people, school can actually be a brutal and traumatising place which fuels mental distress.

    Israel’s PR Scramble Following Gaza SchooI Massacre: Hamas Fighters Killed Twice and “No Women and Children Present”

    Monday, 19 August 2024 — MintPress News

    After committing a massacre at a school in Gaza City, the Israeli military claimed that the facility, which housed over 6,000 displaced civilians, was being used as a Hamas command center. The military released the names of alleged fighters killed in the attack. However, some of those identified as militants were killed months earlier, and every claim made by Israel is contradicted by substantial evidence.

    America is trapped. The power-brokers are unhappy, but impotent

    Israelis have been deeply divided these last years, unable to coalesce around a government. After five general elections, they decided to dismiss the Lapid/Gantz team and to put a new coalition – formed around Netanyahu and small Jewish supremacist parties – into power.

    Germany Was Never Denazified. That’s Why it’s Siding with Israel Today

    Sunday, 18 August 2024 — Internationalist 360°

    Alain Alameddine and Nira Iny

    The Allies failed to denazify Europe by failing to dismantle the political foundations their own nations shared with the Nazi regime.

    Germany’s firm stance in support of genocide in Palestine raises the question: How come the country best known for its supposed reckoning with guilt for its past genocide is repeating such similar mistakes? Understanding what Nazism is — not the crimes it committed, but its very nature as a sociopolitical vision — helps us understand how and why the Allies deliberately failed to denazify Germany and why the specter of fascism continues to haunt Palestine, Europe, and the world today. It also helps us understand how the solution is in our hands.

    404, the slow nosedive: Looking forward and looking back

    Sunday, 18 August 2024 — Global South

    There are a few notable data points on the Ukraine.  They are now being left by their ‘allies’, to live or die by their own reconnaissance.  Zelensky is being thrown under the bus, exquisitely slowly.

    The war frontline, even during the attacks on Russian border areas, is dissolving in bits and drabs.  Forced conscription in the streets is actively and with fists and kicks and sticks and stones withstood and protested.   Desertion from the Ukrainian army has reached alarming levels. Every 14th serviceman has voluntarily left his unit, according to a Ukrainian police report.

    Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro told media outlets on the evening of August 15 that he rejects calls for redo elections by his counterparts in Brazil and Colombia. He declared that “Venezuela has the sovereignty of an independent country with a Constitution, it has institutions, and the conflicts in Venezuela of any kind are solved among Venezuelans, with their institutions, with their law and with their Constitution.”
