The plutocrats in media and politics have turned the young against their own interests and blamed everything on foreigners. It's classic divide and rule.
Applicants for German citizenship will be required to explicitly affirm Israel's right to exist under a new citizenship law which came into effect on Tuesday....
Hezbollah has been trading fire with Israel for more than eight months in parallel with the Gaza war. On Tuesday, the Iran-backed group published what it said was drone footage of sensitive military sites deep in Israeli territory....
Corbyn, who led Labour between 2015 and 2019, was initially expelled from the party and had the whip withdrawn in April 2020, under the leadership of his erstwhile ally Keir Starmer....
Best of luck to him. The Zionist orchestrated smear campaign, backed by the red Tories, was a disgrace and a chilling sign of how far the Israel lobby has ensconced itself into UK politics.
We need to push back against the AIPAC-isation of our democracy.
The West's response to Israel's genocide has been shocking. The mask has slipped and we see their racist double standards and how hollow their claims of moral superiority. They are in the business of maintaining white supremacy at all costs. They will shed rivers of crocodile tears and wring their hands only after Israel has completed its genocide of Gaza.
The glaring difference is that Israel is armed, funded and given full diplomatic protection by the US and it's proxies in Europe while legacy Western media faithfully regurgitates Israeli whitewashing and propaganda. That's not the case for China or Myanmar.
The US only has to threaten withdrawing support and Israel backs down. See how limp Netanyahus response to Iran's attack in April was. Biden didn't want an escalation so nothing happened.
Israel is finished without the unconditional support of the US and they know it. The only reason they act with impunity is because of the shield the US provides them with.
Germany's travel ban against British-Palestinian doctor Ghassan Abu Sitta has been overturned, according to a leading legal advocacy group in the UK....
Good for him. Germany is acting in a disgustingly racist and despicable way towards pro Palestinians in its simping for Israel. They have really shown their true colours.
A Belgian broadcaster interrupted its coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest semi-final on Thursday night to display a protest message condemning Israel's war on Gaza. In an act organised by a trade union, the screen briefly went black ahead of the semi-final coverage on VRT, Belgium's public-service broadcaster in Flemish....
if Palestine had been ethnically cleansed and colonised by Martians, Hamas would be firing rockets at them. Hamas are fighting a fascist apartheid regime that wants to murder all Palestinians. It has nothing to do with anti semitism. Arab Jews coexisted in Palestine for centuries.
The Zionist regime weaponizes "anti-semitism" to dehumanise Palestinians. It is propaganda.
Climate activist Greta Thunberg joined thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Eurovision 2024 host city Malmo on Thursday to protest Israel's participation in the song contest ahead of this year's second semi-final.
The Eurovision Song Contest was mired in further controversy on Wednesday when the Israeli contestant's dress rehearsal performance was met with boos and shouts of "Free Palestine" from the audience....
The German government and establishment are stepping up the repression of pro-Palestine Jews including Israelis, but it's all about anti-Arab/Muslim racism by proxy, says Udi Raz, a Jewish activist who spoke to The New Arab in Berlin....
I find that Germans are in denial about all this. They're so conditioned to being virtuous about accepting their past they can't accept that they're supporting genocide or acting like Nazis.
Rain jacket. Or just a normal coat with hood that's water proof. If it's really coming down waterproof trousers as well that I pack in my rucksack. Rain is really not a problem and I commute every day by bike.
