    BRITAIN RENEWS ITS SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH EUROPE AS THE ATLANTIC WIDENS DUE TO TRUMP’S TETONIC SHIFTS

    Wednesday, 21 May 2025 — the planning motive

    The UK and the EU signed a new trade and fishery deal together with easier movement of students much to the anger of the right in the country who accused them of breaching the spirit of Brexit despite the majority of Brits no longer favour Leaving as once they did.

    It is often forgotten that the US favoured a united Europe after the War. There were three reasons it did so. Firstly, it wanted to ensure a united Europe could stand up to Comecon led by the USSR and not war amongst themselves. Secondly, its leading industries such as General Motors, Fords, General Electric, Boeing and the oil majors were continental in scale. Thus, a united Europe provided the kind of market they could exploit. Thirdly, the US knew it could exercise effective control and intimidation of Europe through NATO by providing the military umbrella over Europe and holding onto its handle.

    Israel’s ‘Final Solution’ Has Begun: Will Persons of Conscience Stop It?

    Tuesday, 20 May 2025 — Internationalist 360°

    Reason2Resist with Dimitri Lascaris

    Israel’s genocidal regime has launched a savage, broad-based assault on Gaza and continues to deprive Gaza’s starving civilian population of desperately-needed humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, Israel’s criminal leaders have openly declared their intention to destroy Gaza and ‘cleanse’ it of Palestinians. By all appearances, Israel has begun to implement its ‘final solution’ in the Gaza Strip. In response to Israel’s assault on Gaza, major Western governments have issued unprecedented threats to sanction Israel. In addition, people around the world are escalating their resistance to Israel’s genocidal project. Dimitri Lascaris and Beirut-based, geopolitical analyst Laith Marouf debate where all this is heading. Who will prevail in Gaza? Will it be the resistance, or will it be Israel’s genocidal regime? Lascaris and Marouf also discussed Trump’s recent trip to West Asia and the nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran.

    While Gaza burns, Big Tech buries the truth

    Tuesday, 20 Maay 2025 — Al Mayadeen English

    When Instagram removes posts about Palestinian martyrs, TikTok purges 12,000 #FreePalestine accounts, and Meta’s oversight board dismisses 89% of Palestinian appeals, while 87,000 instances of anti-Palestinian hate speech remain online, the pattern becomes clear.

    This isn’t moderation; it’s systematic erasure.

    With 100+ ex-IOF personnel in key tech positions and AI systems trained to flag Arabic terms as “terrorist content,” social media platforms aren’t neutral, they’re another frontier of occupation.

    A silent front in a very loud war.

    Former Likud Knesset member calls for extermination of Palestinians

    Tuesday, 20 May 2025 — MintPress News

    Former Israeli Likud Knesset member and current leader of the Zehut party, Moshe Feiglin, openly called for the genocide of the Palestinian people in a recent statement to Israeli Channel 14.

    Feiglin had previously justified the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza by paraphrasing Adolf Hitler, “As Hitler said, ‘I cannot live if one Jew is left.’ We can’t live here if one Islamo-Nazi remains in Gaza.”

    The invocation of Nazi terminology reflects Feiglin’s long-standing advocacy for “turning Gaza into Jaffa”, a reference to the Palestinian city occupied and ethnically cleansed by “Israel.”

    In August 2014, in a letter to the Israeli Prime Minister, Feiglin proposed infrastructure destruction, forced relocation, and settlement expansion in Gaza. He reiterated these proposals in 2025.

    Feiglin had called for the establishment of “tent encampments” near Sinai for Palestinians in Gaza before facilitating their expulsion with “generous economic packages.”

    GM Watch Daily Digest 20 May 2025

    Tuesday, 20 May 2025 — GM Watch

    UK government promises industry it will never find out if a “new GMO” harms health or environment 

    On 13 May the Genetic Technology Act 2023 – the legislation that removes so-called “precision bred” genetically modified plants and animals from GMO regulatory safeguards in England – was signed into law by Minister Daniel Zeichner. While we’ve known from the start that this was a badly written and scientifically bankrupt law, it has been made far worse by the wording of Zeichner’s secondary legislation that puts it into effect. It’s no surprise that the resulting legislation unscientifically assumes that “precision bred” GMOs – PB-GMOs for short – are no different and no more risky than conventionally bred organisms. But what is extraordinary – and likely unprecedented in GMO regulations anywhere in the world – is that the secondary legislation also forbids government regulators from ever finding out that a PB-GMO is different from, and more risky than, conventionally bred organisms. Even when it is. In effect, the government regulators have blindfolded themselves and tied their own hands behind their backs, so that they will never trace the origin of any harm to health or the environment that may caused by a PB-GMO.

    Palestinians carry their belongings as they flee Gaza City on May 16.

    In a brazen escalation, the U.S.-backed and armed Zionist regime has launched what it calls the “concluding” offensive on Gaza. This escalation coincides with advanced U.S. proposals to forcibly resettle Palestinians from Gaza to war-torn Libya and Syria, according to reports.

    NHS surgeon in Gaza: 75% of her patients are children

    Tuesday, 20 May 2025 — MintPress News

    Victoria Rose, a British NHS surgeon currently working at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, emphasized that 75% of the patients they are operating on are children.

    She described the children as tiny, underweight, and severely malnourished, highlighting the devastating toll the ongoing genocide is taking on Gaza’s youngest and most vulnerable.

    Palestinian Territory – The Israeli military’s targeting of rescue teams and paramedics during efforts to evacuate the wounded and extract survivors trapped under rubble in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, constitutes a compound war crime. It amounts to the deliberate killing of civilians by obstructing rescue efforts and leaving them to die beneath the debris, indicating Israel’s intent to annihilate what remains of Palestinian society as part of the ongoing genocide (more…)

    Kit Klarenberg

    On May 12th, the New York Times published a forensic autopsy of the failure of the Trump administration’s renewed hostilities against AnsarAllah in the Red Sea. The probe teems with extraordinary disclosures, spelling out in stark detail how the combined air and naval effort – launched with enormous fanfare and much bombastic rhetoric from US officials – was an even greater debacle, and devastating defeat, for the Empire than hitherto thought. The cataclysm’s scale may explain Washington’s sudden determination to reach a negotiated settlement with Iran.

    This moment demands more than your horror. It demands your action. Now.

    The machinery of genocide grinds forward in Gaza with total impunity, its architects now boldly declaring their intentions without pretense. What we are witnessing is not warfare but industrial-scale extermination—methodical, deliberate, and carried out with the full blessing of American power.

    Popular backlash against France’s brutal yet ineffective counter-terrorism operations is compelling President Emmanuel Macron to withdraw forces from across Africa. Last November, Senegal and Chad humiliated Macron by demanding base closures, only days after his personal envoy unveiled plans to shore up his slipping foothold.[1] Recently, the Ivory Coast ousted about 1,000 French soldiers, compounding the sense that France’s military strategy in Africa is in a state of crisis.[2]

    A couple of years ago I wrote about my experiences at a Canadian academic conference on “disinformation” and how a Disinformation Industrial Complex (DIC) was being constructed to trash, restrict and even get banned anyone who dares stray from the establishment narrative provided by the mainstream media. A response to the internet serving to democratize information with the inevitable collapse in the legitimacy and reach of the mainstream media. I have also recently written about the extensive Western disinformation campaigns to sell the establishment narrative that supports the hegemonic culture used to help control the population, including the use of both fake “left” and fake “right” front groups, influencers, journalists, academics and content creators.

    The Zionist Genocide Against Palestinians Began in the 1880s—Not in 1947, and Not in 2023

    Sunday, 18 May 2025 — Marginalia Subversiva

    Jerusalem, Palestine c.1880’s

    A Long-Standing Genocide

    The genocide against Palestinians is often framed as having begun in 1947–48 during the Nakba, when Zionist militias forcibly expelled over 750,000 Palestinians, massacred entire villages, and systematically destroyed more than 500 Palestinian communities. Others attempt to situate its origins even later, as an escalation in October 2023, when Israel launched its most devastating military assault on Gaza to date. However, these narratives, while acknowledging crucial moments of mass violence, erase the long history of systematic Zionist efforts to eliminate Palestinians. Framing the genocide as a product of either the Nakba or recent military offensives treats it as episodic rather than as part of a continuous, unfolding project of destruction that began well before 1948.
