We’ve seen this script before. This Labour government won’t take action for the people who so desperately need change right now.

"The Palestinians can go to any other Arab country, except Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, because those are ours, or we'll kill them." And there are still people who deny that zionism is racism.

Oborne nails it: If Eizenkot replaces Netanyahu, don't be fooled. Eizenkot authored the "Da'iya doctrine"-causing maximum havoc and destruction of civilians. Yet, if he wins, liberal Zionists will say, "Oh, this is a sensible person." Israel can be brought back into the international fold while the ethnic cleansing continues. The world needs to see the full horror, not just the new packaging

Peter Oborne on the West Bank: "It is a horrific, racist project to drive out Palestinians... 65 of [the Bedouins'] communities have been destroyed in the last three years... The fact that we, the democratic, human rights-respecting West, is tolerating this horror is extraordinary."

Last week we filmed I$raeli soldiers, Merkava tanks and D9 bulldozers in Zawtar al-Sharqieh, southern Lebanon. This is what they are doing there. Destroying people’s homes. But this is a mere snapshot of what’s happening across the so-called “yellow zone”. Demolitions and detonations of homes and infrastructure. Some 60 villages flattened. This is what a genocide looks like.

Good morning everybody the dogs gave us a lie in until 5.15 woo hoo! It’s dry and calm, variable cloud obscures the lovely moon but it is pleasant out. We have the bonus of seeing the dawn too. Happy Mondays. Leo is a bit slow. Half term so traffic should be light. x

Israel’s defenders: It’s not a genocide Israelis: Palestinians must leave or we’ll kill them
A young blonde woman with an American accent in Israel says that all the Arabs must be kicked out of Gaza because it is "our land" since "God commanded us to take it." The Palestinians should be kicked out to any other Arab state, she continues, except Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, "because they are ours." "Or we will kill them," she adds Can we stop pretending that this is a marginal view in Israel? That these are the comments of a fringe minority? They are not. Israel has been on this path for quite some time. Western governments know it fully - yet they continue to fund and enable Israel's genocidal policies.

Kevin Maguire is spot on, all this talk about people stocking up is part of a wider lobbying campaign to increase defence spending. And as Kevin points out, the UK is already the 6th biggest defence spender in the world.

So here we have this former Russian ambassador explaining how the Donbass war began. There was a coup d’état in Kyiv in 2014, financed by the US. The new installed regime banned the Russian language, and the population of Crimea voted in a referendum for their independence against the ban on their native language. Kyiv then intervened militarily in Donbass in 2014, which triggered the war. The Minsk agreements then followed. Russia finally intervened in 2022 because there was no other solution to protect its compatriots in Donbass, who had been attacked for 8 years.
