After 19 months of being presented with dissembling accounts of Gaza from their governments, western publics are now being served up a different – but equally deceitful – narrative.

Israel is starving Gazans to death and continuing its bombing attacks on civilians. Israel also specializes in personal revenge, targeting men, women, and children who might be the subject of international press attention and remind the world of that state’s sadistic nature. There are many accomplices to these crimes, but Joe Biden’s role in giving protection to a genocide cannot be forgotten.

The people’s struggle against colonialism and imperialism is a struggle of epic proportions, wherever it takes place. No liberation struggle is waged without involving all aspects of society. Bridges once burned due to the symptoms of imperialism (like racism and misogyny) are rebuilt stronger, made unmovable, connecting people to march together to fight the real enemy – the common enemy.

In a televised interview on an Israeli channel, Moshe Feiglin, a former Likud Knesset member and Israeli politician, made a statement declaring that every child in Gaza is an enemy and asserting that true victory requires the killing of every single child.

The NHS 10 year plan will be dragged by political priorities to focus on the first five years – what is easiest to be done in this Parliament for headlines.
Even assuming the best of intentions, the imposition of Palantir, the abolition of NHS England, the single patient record, and the transformation to digital solely with the NHS App are all about giving the Department of Health levers to change your care.
15 May 2025 — Carbon Brief
For the first time, the growth in China’s clean power generation has caused the nation’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fall despite rapid power demand growth.
The new analysis for Carbon Brief shows that China’s emissions were down 1.6% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025 and by 1% in the latest 12 months.
Electricity supply from new wind, solar and nuclear capacity was enough to cut coal-power output even as demand surged, whereas previous falls were due to weak growth.
The analysis, based on official figures and commercial data, shows that China’s CO2 emissions have now been stable, or falling, for more than a year.
However, they remain only 1% below the latest peak, implying that any short-term jump could cause China’s CO2 emissions to rise to a new record.
Other key findings include:

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.

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.

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 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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.
