    26 October: Remembering those killed by the state

    Thursday, 17 October 2024 — NetPol

    Join Netpol at the annual United Families and Friends Campaign demonstration

    Every year, the bereaved families and friends of loved ones who have died at the hands of the state are joined in London by supporters to march to Downing Street to hand in their demands for justice and accountability.

    On Saturday 26 October, the United Families and Friends Campaign will gather again at Trafalgar Square in central London at midday.

    This year, Black Lives Matter UK, Copwatch Network and Netpol are collectively mobilising an “ACAB Bloc” on the march, and urging supporters to come together and show the strength of our solidarity families who have lost someone. Many loved ones have been fighting for justice for years; the first Annual Remembrance Procession took place in 1999.

     We are meeting from 12pm at the statue of the imperialist general Henry Havelock in Trafalgar Square. This is between the east side of Nelson’s Column and the subway exit to Charing Cross (Bakerloo Line).  The procession leaves promptly at 1pm. Please wear black.

    Five facts that prove the NHS needs more cash

    Thursday, 17 October 2024 — Just Treatment

    There are eerie parallels between the state the NHS is in now, and the state it was in when Labour last took over in government from the Conservatives. Back in 1997 Tony Blair’s New Labour party got into office with a pledge to save the NHS – much like Keir Starmer is promising to do today.

    How to Do a Conjunctural Analysis: The Forty-Second Newsletter (2024)

    Thursday, 17 October 2024 — The Tricontinental

    Helen Zughaib (Lebanon), Reading Coffee Cups, c. 2021.Helen Zughaib (Lebanon), Reading Coffee Cups, c. 2021.

    Dear friends,

    Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.

    Reading legacy Western media – which dominates the world information order – is painful. During the genocidal war against Palestinians, for instance, these media outlets (such as CNN, The New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, and Bild) have been unable to bring themselves to describe the Israeli military’s attacks on Palestinians. At most, and when it suits them, they resort to passive voice (‘Palestinians die’) or to a dangerous form of turning civilian areas into military targets (‘Hezbollah village’ or ‘Hamas command and control centre’).

    Censorship, War Propaganda and Fascism

    Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist

    The U.S. edges closer to hot war and continues aiding and abetting a genocide. Censorship and war propaganda are necessary tools when a rogue state chooses to silence its opponents.

    Sir Keir Starmer: Redefining Labour or Abandoning Its Values?

    Wednesday, 16 October 2024 — Counter Currents

    by Bhabani Shankar Nayak

    Keir Starmer

    The Labour Party and its leader, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, are highly unpopular, much like the previous PM, Mr. Rishi Sunak, and his Conservative Party. The latest YouGov poll result, released on October 8, 2024, reveals that more than six out of ten people in Britain dislike Mr. Starmer as Prime Minister, with 63% holding a negative opinion of him. Mr. Starmer and his leadership are now more unpopular than both Mr. Rishi Sunak and Mr. Nigel Farage.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    • 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.

    “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.
