What is Unite Union boss Sharon Graham’s problem with Palestine?
A scathing letter from Unite members demands Sharon Graham buck her non existent ideas up on the matter of Palestine!
Right, so it’s not exactly breaking news that many of our political leaders have completely shamed themselves over situation in Gaza, by choosing to side with the Israeli occupiers and oppressors in their disproportionate response to the October 7th attack by Hamas, an attack which daily appears to point to more and more of the casualties of that night being perpetrated not by Hamas, but by Israeli forces themselves.
But it’s not just the politicians, as some trade unions have been hopeless in their responses too and for a long while, one of the biggest has been seen as one of the worst for this, the Sharon Graham led Unite Union and the attitude towards antisemitism meted out, how the union chooses to handle that was a story before this latest escalation in the ongoing Israel Palestine conflict, but since then her leadership of the union has led to further alleged anti Palestine sentiment and woeful responses demanding Graham show some spine on the matter.
Right, so Unite the Union under Sharon Graham and the matter of antisemitism and of the genocide we’re currently watching still unfold in Gaza by Israeli forces. Trade unions aren’t just about workers rights you see, aren’t just about strike action and the like, getting better deals for workers, especially when they are politically affiliated ones like Unite is. As one of the parties backing the Labour party financially, they are supposed to stand up for the interests of yes workers, but also the working class, associate itself with sister organisations internationally and show solidarity where it is needed. They have leverage even on the international stage and give Unite is the second largest trade union in the UK, it certainly has that. What a pity it is currently led still by someone who it seems clear chooses not to.
Sharon Graham is seen as close to Keir Starmer. This was pretty much nailed on when she invited him to speak at Unite Conference last year and allegedly made the demand that anyone listening wasn’t to protest at his speech, but to sit in silence and listen. She talks of holding him to account and talks of not taking Unite money for granted, yet Unite member dues are still flowing into Starmer’s Labour’s coffers, it being totally unclear what we members are paying for, I’m a Unite member, since all Starmer does is scrap anything he’s already promised or pledged. Why is that Sharon?
Anyway, that’s another video for another day, it’s the Unite response to antisemitism and the situation in Gaza that she’s causing particular ire amongst members for.
Unite already have a history of having banned showings of the Jeremy Corbyn film the Big Lie in Unite buildings on the grounds it is antisemitic, despite there being nothing of the kind featured. She banned a book signing by the excellent Middle East investigative journalist Asa Winstanley and his book Weaponising Antisemitism, she has invited much criticism for actions along these lines that have been allegedly linked directly to her.

Palestine's surprising response to THAT Julia Hartley Brewer interview!
Following the awful Talk TV interview by Julia Hartley Brewer there has been a lot of fallout, but here's Palestine's response...
Right, so that interview between Julia Hartley-Brewer and Palestinian MP Dr Mustafa Barghouti that I covered in a video yesterday has gone viral for all the right reasons, condemning it as one of thew worst examples of gutter journalism, of bias and even racism. The Palestinian politician couldn’t get a word in edgeways as the Talk TV host made it all about herself and showed nothing but disdain for her guest. It was an extreme example of what so many in the media have done though. Every interview beginning with the words ‘do you condemn Hamas?’ When the atrocity being meted out by Israel in Gaza is so overwhelmingly disproportionate it is insulting. Western mainstream media have been horrendous in their pro Israel leanings, but so awful was this particular interview, so blatant and foul in how it was conducted, what was asked and the attitude to the responses given, that the Palestinian response to it, following on of course from everything we’ve said on the matter, well I reckon it might come as a surprise!
Right, so that Julia Hartley-Brewer interview has been heard around the world now, shocking and appalling pretty much everyone who watched it. It was so bad news articles have literally been written about such as in Middle East Eye which has covered demands for an OFCOM probe into it. For the record OFCOM have stated that any program which prompts more than 50 complaints gets included in their weekly complaints bulletin, published each Wednesday, which includes the actual number of complaints made, so if you haven’t done so and plan to, get on with making that complaint and make OFCOM blush! Even mainstream media have covered this, from The Mirror, to the Metro and Huffington Post.
Naturally plenty of people on social media have weighed in with their opinions too, literally millions of people have watched clips of Hartley-Brewer screaming at Palestinian MP Dr Mustafa Barghouti, there are so many comments you don’t have to look very far to find them, but this video isn’t about their comments, it’s about the response from the Palestinians themselves to that interview and who better placed to comment on it, than Dr Barghouti himself? He was on the receiving end of it after all!
Asked by a reporter in Ramallah in the West Bank yesterday for his response to the interview – yes, even in the West Bank Hatey-Spewer’s conduct has made the news right now, even with everything else they are currently dealing with, Dr Barghouti said:
‘This interview has essentially revealed the bias persisting since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza and perhaps for years – the strong Western media bias towards the Israel narrative.
This interview exploded because we succeeded in presenting the strength of the Palestinian narrative and the painful truth that cannot be ignored or erased.
This stems from the power of the Palestinian cause’s justice which alarmed her remarkably.

Keir Starmer can’t call a ceasefire, but can support air strikes!
Keir Starmer is yet again backing the Tories as they advocate for airstrikes against Palestine supporting Houthi's in Yemen.
Right, so Keir Starmer, that Zionist without qualification, still can’t form the words ceasefire for Gaza, the button marked ‘Israel has a right to defend itself’ is firmly jammed on and so the only utterances passing his robotic lips are ones very much ones in support of the occupiers and not the people who territories they are occupying, and who they are subjugating.
Thankfully not everyone is like him. Look at Yemen, look at the Houthi’s who are now giving their own lives to blockade Israeli shipping, with the US there to try and stop them from carrying on, their little Operation Prosperity Guardians not working out quite as they wished with several significant nations dropping out, but hey, on the bright side the Tories joke of a Defence Secretary, today calling himself Grant Shapps, is all for targeting the Houthi’s with missiles, airstrikes, let’s take the fight to them, let’s spend money doing that, not humanitarian aid, or trying to bring this conflict to an end with BDS or embargoes of our own until Israel stop committing ethnic cleansing, no, let’s just spend more arms more public money to attack those who are standing up for Gaza and Palestine and Keir Starmer, the leader who can only lead when led by the nose of holding someone’s hand, who can’t seemingly decide anything for himself with focus groups or consultancies has looked at Grant Shapps of all people and said I agree with him, let’s bomb Yemen!
Right, so Keir Starmer, Lord knows regular viewers will know I have pretty much nothing good to say about this horrible little man, this can’t lead for toffee overly ambitious sell out to the Israel Lobby and anyone else who will give him money, acquiescing to their whims and turning what was once a proper opposition party, into the Tory Party B Team, a bunch of red Tories in charge once more.
He's been particularly ripe smelling when it has come to the matter of Israel though. Bought and paid for as he is by the Israel Lobby, he will never hold Israel to account for what they do, no matter how heinous that might be and right now we’re witness to some of the worst in living memory and this dozy twonk couldn’t even call for a ceasefire before the Tories went there first and even when he did, it soon became clear it was more an ambition he hoped to see after more humanitarian pauses, hand out some aid, so that Gazan’s at least aren’t being shot on a n empty stomach, but given news from the World Food Programme has shown 90% of Gazans have less than one meal a day, he can’t even call for that properly.
Some who are demanding a full ceasefire and are going to inflict their own version of sanctions on Israel of course though are the Houthi’s of Yemen, using drones, speedboats and rockets of their own to put off shipping companies heading to Israel or coming from Israel, causing delays and interference. It wasn’t until the US showed up that anyone actually died over it, and that was several boats of Houthi’s. They gave their lives to stop a genocide, the US took their lives apparently in support of that genocide.

Could the latest Corbyn rumour destroy Starmer’s hopes of a majority?
Rumours have suddenly spiked in the media that Jeremy Corbyn is about to launch his own party. Would you join it?
Right, so this is a question that has often been asked over the last four years and arguably more so since he was barred against the rules of the Labour Party rulebook from standing for the Party again, singled out over that as he was, but is Jeremy Corbyn going to launch his own party now?
The reason I ask is that all of a sudden there’s a bit of media chatter on the matter with the London Economic, the Daily Fail and Gbeebies amongst others all debating whether something is in the offing. Now is this more mischief on the part of the media to wind up a load of disenfranchised rotten lefties? Or is there some truth in the matter? Well for my money, I’ll believe it when it comes from Corbyn himself, but with an election all but certain at some point this year, should Corbyn wish to stand for Islington North again, he will have to walk away from the Labour Party to do so, he is still a member we shouldn’t forget, just one with restrictions from standing for parliament, so all eyes are on him doing something soon, but could it be a lot more than just standing as an independent?
Right so, is Jeremy Corbyn going to start a new party? Would you join it if he did? And how would that affect the state of play as we see things right now?
Well this is one of those stories from ‘Labour insiders’ from ‘sources close to Corbyn’, so as much as we might love to see it, it might all be a lot of mischief, but my goodness in four years the talk and hope that he would do something has never gone away. Four years into being Labour leader, Keir Starmer is still afraid of him, in his speech just this week, where he was supposed to be setting out his stall, but ended up becoming all about Peter Mandelson, he still felt he had to mention Corbyn and attack him as somebody the party has moved on from. We know it has moved on from that. Moved on from hope and inspiration, to this is the best you’re going to get, it’s the Tories or us, slightly less awful, but that’ll be a matter of opinion.
The centrists of course are already wailing that this will split the left vote, that if Corbyn launches something ready for the General Election this year, which leaves very little time in my opinion, but this is the mood music on the subject, then it could blow Labour’s chances of a majority to hell. The old, you’ll let the Tories back in excuse. Now, you know this is what centrists are saying, because anyone genuinely of the left will have already have left Labour and will likely be pointing out that Starmer’s bunch are just a load of red Tories, this channel for example. A large number of people have become disaffected and disenfranchised by Starmer and Labour, won’t vote for them, won’t vote Tory either, the other parties are not necessarily appealing right now. Many of them will have been enthused and inspired by Corbyn’s vision for the country, that has been taken from us by Starmer promising it all and abandoning pretty much everything he ever stood for, killing the Corbyn project and the hope of a better country off entirely.

This Palestine attack is the WORST example of journalism ever!
Is Julia Hartley-Brewer's awful Talk TV interview with Palestinian MP Dr Mustafa Barghouti the worst interview ever?
Right, so British journalism is amongst the most distrusted and despised globally and Julia Hartley-Brewer, or Hatey Spewer might be more accurate has possibly given the worst interview bar none that I’ve ever witnessed. Not only did she incessantly interrupt, her guest, a Palestinian MP, but she indulged in petty racism and anti Arab tropes whilst she was at it. All Arabs and Muslims hate women apparently, so says a mainstream supposed journalist! The level of disrespect shown was shocking, the fact she wouldn’t even let him explain some of the most fundamental and basic issues because she wanted to spout off over the top of him, she literally made Fox News look professional, which isn’t saying a lot given this interview took place on the British equivalent, both stations having the same billionaire business daddy. Right now Palestinians are being slaughtered in their tens of thousands, Hartley-Doodah’s guest is, apart from a Palestinian MP and eminent physician who has devoted his life to public health and his community. He deserved a professional interview to make his very credible points. That isn’t Talk TV and I hope the whole world learns to realise that and if you haven’t seen it yet, stay tuned.
Right so when I started this channel, I did so coming from a position of already despising our mainstream media, with their total lack of impartiality, their overwhelmingly right wing bias across much of the print media and with the TV media seemingly saying how high, each time the government of the day say jump. This was especially the case of the BBC, but worse even than them, was the rise of tabloid TV essentially, news channels little better than much of the nonsense being spread in print and of course like so many of our papers it is owned and backed by billionaire press barons, so why should any of us familiar with that be surprised the TV ‘news’ they tell us is any better? If you shun the Murdoch S*n, why would you watch his TV News channel Talk TV, especially when he employs the likes of Julia Hartley-Brewer as a so-called journalist to conduct interviews as absolutely ridiculous, insulting and shameless as the one she just has? It’s not just Murdoch that platforms this dreadful woman either. She’s permanently on shows like Question Time on the BBC, when she serves a role, not to inform, but to dumb people down as the media kept us for so long, before social media gained as much prominence as it has? Where else can we now hold her to account, when the system supposedly in place to deal with incident like this are incapable of doing so? This interview cannot be allowed to stand without consequences, it is that bad, but judge for yourself before I get into it:
Throughout it all, she’s pulling faces, she’s feigning disinterest and disgust, she treats Dr Mustafa Barghouti with the utmost disdain and disrespect in her attitude.

How can Starmer be so clueless about his own advisor Mandelson?
Keir Starmer's lack of knowledge of links between his special advisor Peter Mandelson & Jeffrey Epstein is hard to believe...
Right, so Peter Mandelson is becoming an Epstein sized problem for Keir Starmer and he can’t say he wasn’t warned. The moment the mainstream media start asking questions about what Starmer knew when he took him on as his adviser, you can tell they are now probing him for weaknesses, that all of a sudden the ice cream sundae with cherry on the top treatment he’s got from them, as we tilt towards a General Election, is perhaps finally over. A question on Mandelson, a really quite softball question really that Starmer ought to have seen coming down the road months ago ended up completely flooring him following his speech in Bristol which bodes very ill indeed as more and more redacted Epstein case material is due to emerge and Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is now so well documented, the longer Starmer keeps him on, the more of a liability he’s likely to prove to be.
Right, so Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein. They were close. Epstein called him Petey and although Mandelson doesn’t feature in this latest batch of unredacted names from the former Epstein case files, we’re told there is still more to be released, so watch this space. That said, we don’t need to wait and see if Mandelson crops up in any new material, because there is plenty of old material and the mainstream media not having picked up on Mandelson and Epstein with Starmer previously, is a massive failing on their part to not hold power to account. He want’s the top job and one of his top advisers has not insignificant links to a man convicted of child trafficking and paedophilia.
This did hit the headlines, though not put to Keir Starmer at all, the fact Starmer had resurrected the relic of the 1990’s and of Blairism, Mandelson to advise him apparently not important enough to ask the Labour leader any questions about that, but much of the details we know are only some 6 months old having come from an internal bank report by JP Morgan Chase dating from 2019, the purpose of which was to establish the bank’s relationship with Epstein, but which also spelt out that Epstein had a particularly close relationship with both Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson, by then Lord Mandelson, so giving Epstein a connection between the British Royal Family and the government, albeit via the House of Lords, but of course their relationship went back years before, back to when Labour were still in power and back to when Mandelson was a Business Secretary in it. What made Mandelson so appealing then? Well here’s what we know.
According to Morgan Chase documents, in 2009 Mandelson stayed at Epstein’s place in Manhattan. Why? Well Mandelson has refused to confirm or deny why, but Epstein at the time was behind bars for soliciting a minor, so what gives? Mandelson at the time was Business Secretary to help Gordon Brown prop up his dying administration, and effectively became the de facto Deputy Prime Minister, something Epstein mentioned according to bank records.

South Africa just got a massive endorsement in taking Israel to court.
The second largest international bloc of nations on the planet, have swung behind South Africa as they take Israel to court for genocide.
Right, so South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice just got a massive boost of endorsement, not just from another country here, and another country there, but from an entire bloc of them, in fact it’s the second largest bloc of countries next to the United Nations, the OIC and given who they are and who their members are, this is huge. The OIC is the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and as the name says on the tin, this is a block of 57 Muslim nations, in cooperation, but by coming out on the side of South Africa’s case, it means that finally they are as a bloc taking the historic step not only of coming out on the side of Palestine, sending a powerful message to the ICJ ahead of legal proceedings beginning next week, but that the international Muslim community can be part of this ongoing process themselves to redefine how international law works, ensuring that justice is upheld and that no nation can ever be above the law, as Israel consistently seems to be placed.
Right, so the OIC the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, a group of 57 countries spread across 4 continents and the second largest international organisation next to the United Nations itself has issued a statement of support for South Africa in a huge blow to Israel, as Muslims across the world via their political leaders and governments come together in consensus to side with the Occupied Palestinian Territories and against them and the genocide they are committing. Their statement reads:
‘OIC welcomes South Africa’s International Court of Justice Suit against Israel over Genocide.
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has welcomed the suit filed by the Republic of South Africa at the International Court of Justice for the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people committed by Israel, the occupying power.
The OIC has affirmed that the indiscriminate targeting by Israel, the occupying power, of the civilian population and the thousands of Palestinians, mostly women and children, killed, injured, forcibly displaced and denied basic necessities and humanitarian assistance and the destruction of houses, health, educational and religious institutions in their totality constitute mass genocide.
The OIC called upon the Court to respond expeditiously and take urgent measures to stop this mass genocide being perpetrated by the Israeli defence forces in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.’
Now this statement is the culmination of a meeting that was held in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia back on October 18th, so within weeks of Israel’s genocide beginning, clearly going way beyond what could be considered a justifiable response to the events of October 7th, the OIC, whether you’ve heard of them or not, did not hang about and given their own history, the history of the OIC itself that’s not actually too surprising.

Martyring a Hamas leader shows how desperate Israel is for a 'win'.
With global opinion turning against his regime, Netanyahu is desperate for a win, so did Israel assassinate a Hamas leader to get one?
Right, so things have escalated horribly between Israel and Hamas, with the assassination of Saleh Al-Arouri in Southern Beirut in Lebanon. Al-Arouri was the de facto Number Two of Hamas and despite Israel denying having conducted the assassination, I really don’t know who believes that, pro-Israelis or Pro-Palestinians alike. The narrative of this conflict has turned against Israel and turned against Benjamin Netanyahu and his rancid far right coalition government, that he’s become so desperate for some kind of a win, that he was willing to take a shot at a Hamas leader who wasn’t even in Gaza, but was in another nation, Lebanon and was emboldened enough to think he can do that without repercussions. Lebanon is a sovereign state, not occupied territory like Gaza is, so if Lebanon as a hypothetical example now decide to send a missile into Tel Aviv in retaliation, that’ll be Lebanon exercising it’s right to defend itself yes? After all, the Western world has been saying for 11 weeks that razing Gaza to the ground is Israel’s right to defend itself after October 7th. As for Hamas, well any talk of peace settling matters now has probably just died with Al-Arouri and Israel has likely just invited further atrocity on it’s own people. If Israel did this, as seems almost certainly likely, then those who have consistently sided with them since the events of October 7th need to wake the hell up and realise Israel and most of all their government aren’t defending themselves, they’re driving this.
Right, so Israel has a right to defend itself we’ve been told for weeks in the wake of the October 7th attack by Hamas, so please explain to me, how them almost certainly being the perpetrators behind a surgical strike in Southern Lebanon last night is them defending themselves? Oh, but they took out this big bad Hamas bloke and they are fighting Hamas after all who started this, some of the less quick amongst those watching this videos might be thinking. So it’s OK for Israel to shoot missiles at neighbouring sovereign states to do that then? That’s still Israel defending itself is it? As I said in my intro though, if Lebanon choose to retaliate by doing likewise and firing into Israel in return now, who’s going to say Lebanon don’t have the right to defend themselves? Oh but I forget myself, this is a ‘Hezbollah run’ neighbourhood that got hit according to some in the media as if that makes it alright and clearly is implying, after days and days of them reporting on the actions of ‘Iran backed’ Houthi’s in the Red Sea that they either believe or they know, it was Israel that did this too.
I can almost guarantee that when this all comes out as being proven to have been Israel, I’ll eat my shoe frankly if it isn’t, it’ll be made all about Hezbollah and Hamas and Israel being entitled to do this. If this guy was living in Leicester Square and Israel bombed that, you’d be singing a different tune though wouldn’t you? It’s exactly the same. Sovereign state territory is sovereign state territory.

Keir Starmer’s speech described why you should vote Green, not Labour!
Keir Starmer's trip to Bristol for a speech outlined every reason you should vote Green and avoid him like the plague!
Right, so Keir Starmer has gone to Bristol today to give a speech that was supposed to be all about voting for his party, at least, given that he presides over the corpse of what used to be a Socialist Democratic Party called Labour, you’d imagine that was what he wanted. Instead, in a city rapidly becoming a new Green Party heartland, he’s effectively told people exactly why he should vote for them, given he stands for absolutely nothing he’s actually stood up and spoken about, yet they do and more to the point, the Green Party know it, because they’ve been busy pointing out exactly why it is they you should back, they you should give your vote to in a General Election as so many have in Local Elections and it is so easily done when Starmer is so vacuous, tedious and dishonest.
Right, so Keir Starmer has slithered into Bristol to sell his snake oil that passes for Labour Party policy under him, but being the consummate source of copious amounts of rear end cow produce that he is, he remains committed to nothing changing and what he did sell as change is what the Green Party would deliver, but he has no intentions of. The most telling part of the preamble leading up to this speech containing absolutely nothing to get excited about by the prospect of a Starmer led government was the fact all anyone was talking about, was that he was going to attack Corbyn in his speech. Well Corbyn was 4 years ago now. If Starmer still has him living rent free in his head, then that’s more his problem not ours, but I’m also told he’s so desperate for press attention, it’s the only way he thinks he can get any. 4 years of leadership and still all he has is attacking his predecessor, that is pathetic and I’m not going to spend another second of this video entertaining that.
Starmer wants people who left Labour to come back to it, now it’s back to being a Tory tribute act, he thinks that’s a great selling point, that nothing is going to change. He wants you to think that there is no hope and that the eternal taking of turns between Labour and the Tories is all we can have in this country and they call that democracy. It’s as insulting as it is depressing and serves to remind people why such a boring tool as he is, his nickname should be drillbit, doesn’t represent any change at all. In fact the Green Party’s Zack Polanski has taken to video and spelt this out better than I ever could. He’s said:
‘I want to talk to people who have voted Labour in the past. Now I know for a tiny minority of you, you’ll vote Labour in the future, no matter what anyone says or does, so this video isn’t really for you. But I know for a huge amount of you, you are deeply concerned about the direction of the Labour Party and you’re wondering where has that democratic socialist party that was apparently on your membership card gone?
You’ll also recognise that under Keir Starmer, the party is being destroyed forever and he feels like you’ve got no place to go?

If this is going to be Israel’s defence at the World Court, they’re screwed!
Israel's day in court at The Hague is set for next week, but with the excuses from Israel still coming thick and fast, how screwed are they?
Right, so the date is set for Israel’s day in the dock at the International Court of Justice, it’ll be next Thursday and Friday, the 11th and 12th January. The ICJ has announced that South Africa’s case of war crimes against Israel will be held in public hearings, so we’ll all get to hear the crimes, it won’t be behind closed doors, we can see first hand exactly what the charges are as laid out by South Africa’s legal team and the defence presented by Israel in return, though if a recent interview with the UK ambassador to Israel, Tzipi Hotovely is any indicator of what kind of a defence that will be on Israel’s part, they are so screwed, though in the opinion of the only lawyer to successfully argued the case for genocide at the ICJ, Israel are very much stuffed anyway, as are all those who have aided and abetted them. This might not be just Israel on trial at the end of the day…
Right, so South Africa requested that the International Court of Justice, the World Court expedite the matters pertaining to their 86 page case against Israel accusing them of genocide and they very much seem to have agreed, with the court case kicking off next Thursday.
South Africa’s submission to the ICJ is horrific and compelling. Some of what it covers includes a Palestinian dying in Gaza every 4 minutes, 4 health workers a day are being killed, multigenerational families killed in their entireties, children talking of rather being dead than living through what they are, mass expulsions and forced migration, being killed whilst being evacuated, being killed despite going to so-called safe zones, deprivation of access to food and water and medication, disease is rife as a a consequence of Israeli atrocity, deprivation of shelter, of hygiene, of sanitation, of clothing, the destruction of Palestinian life, of churches, of mosques, of schools, of hospitals, measures being taken to prevent Palestinian births, not to mention all the documented cases of israeli’s speaking out with genocidal intent.
That last term segues once more into mainstream media once more platforming the genocidal maniac that is the Israeli ambassador the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, who should have been put on a plane back to Tel Aviv weeks ago. That she remains on British shores I find an affront and that’s reinforced with the wickedness she’s still spouting, but which, if this is anything like what Israel are planning on saying by way of a defence at the ICJ, then they are in for a rude shock when all of a sudden they get a court order slapped on them ordering them to cease fire immediately and get out of Gaza. What will they say then? Yes we signed up to the Genocide Convention, but you aren’t supposed to use it against us?

Israel plotting a ‘Rwanda deal’ to take ethnically cleansed Gazans!
Israel appear to be so intent on not letting Gazan Palestinians return to their homes, they are now looking for other countries for them!
Right, so accusations of ethnic cleansing of Gaza being the plan all along for Israel have increased in light of some insane rhetoric from the Israeli government which they’ve aimed at their chief financiers and military arms suppliers the US, who somewhat surprisingly given their conduct have come out saying Gaza belongs to the Palestinians and Israel can’t have it.
But more than that there is now concrete evidence of Israel having been engaging in conversations with other nations to take Gazan ‘emigrants’ as they refer to them anyway, deals being done to find a new home for people they forcibly displace, against international law, so that they are never allowed back into Gaza again. Israel is planning it’s own Rwanda deal basically, we’ve been watching this play out for weeks, from the refusal to let Gazans travel north again following the weeklong ceasefire in November, to the herding of people like cattle in the south of Gaza where they were told they’d be safe, to being attacked there as well. It is obvious Israel want the Gazan’s gone and together with their deportation plans, they are now pretty much blatantly admitting it too.
Right, so we’re all familiar with the Tories plans to deport migrants coming here in small boats as they have to do to claim asylum in the UK, with no legal route existing for them to do so any other way. The Tories want to offshore these people should their claims be successful, Starmer’s Labour are talking more along the lines of offshoring the asylum claims, a deportation lite option, much like the Tory lite Labour leader we all know him to be, but Israel have been plotting something similar. In their case it isn’t so much deporting people claiming asylum there, they call them settlers anyway and they get welcomed with open arms, it’s more about making room for more settlers by creating migrants for other countries to deal with. Send them to the Sinai, send them to other Arab countries has been spoken about widely in recent weeks, seen as posturing, seen as perhaps empty rhetoric, since the world would never sanction such ethnic cleansing to take place, but now there seems to be some concrete evidence of this and to start with I’ll turn to the comments made by Israel’s Minister of Intelligence, Gila Gamliel, someone who wrote a blueprint to depopulate Gaza some 6 years ago and was so proud of it, it was published in the pro-settler right wing magazine Ribonut, meaning Sovereignty and who said in the Israeli Knesset yesterday:
‘At the end of the war Hamas rule will collapse, there are no municipal authorities, the civilian population will be entirely dependent on humanitarian aid. There will be no work, and 60% of Gaza’s agricultural land will become security buffer zones.
The Gaza problem is not just our problem. The world should support humanitarian emigration, because that’s the only solution I know.’
Of course a post Hamas situation in Gaza would look like that because Israel will engineer it that way, they control everything going in and out of the open air prison of an occupied territory that it is.

Antisemitism used to mute debate on Israel! Says someone who did it.
The antisemitism scam that brought down Jeremy Corbyn has meant some hens have come home to roost for some in the media...
Right, so as South Africa prepare to take Israel to the World Court for Genocide and public opinion increasingly turns against Israel for what they are doing in Gaza and what they’ve done for decades across Palestine and beyond and along with that has come a rise in antisemitism. All of a sudden some mainstream journalists are asking how did we get here? Where did it go wrong? And some are even switched on enough to realise that it conflating antisemitism with the Israeli state might have something to do with that, the weaponisation of antisemitism over the last several years might have something to do with that. But this hasn’t come from any old mainstream source, some sage, altruistic, risen above it all journalist, someone worthy of the name shall we say. This has come from someone who was literally engaged in it, back when weaponizing antisemitism was used to get rid of a former Labour leader in Jeremy Corbyn, who would have brought change for the betterment of the lives of ordinary people up and down this country was seen as a perfectly fine thing for establishment stooges to do, it was the mud that finally stuck to a politician who was otherwise as honest as the day is long and squeaky clean in his background, it was the smear that worked and now that there is significant fallout in this country from that, now, all of a sudden, Jewish journalist Robert Peston has had some kind of epiphany!
Right, so the antisemitism scam that brought down Corbyn, you know it, I know it, let’s not get bogged back down in that, suffice to say it worked, those who worked against him both inside the Labour Party, Keir Starmer’s faction, and outside mainly in the press brought him down, handed the country to Boris Johnson after narrowly failing to beat Theresa May, a proper election campaign instead of a snap election might have won it, but all of this is now academic and historical. What isn’t is the racism fallout from weaponizing antisemitism to do what they did.
Now seemingly completely unaware of his own part in all of this, Robert Peston has put out a tweet in the wee small hours of this morning saying:
‘As a Jew, I have become increasingly worried that the charge of antisemitism is being levelled to silence legitimate and important debate. Antisemitism is on the rise, but there is also a rise in the unscrupulous use of the term to silence reasonable questions about the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza. This article in the Harvard Crimson by Jewish community leader Bernie Steinberg warns of incipient McCarthyism. It is worth reading, whichever side of the debate you are on.’
This tweet is indeed in relation to an article which I’ll move onto in a moment, but hold the bus here two minutes, have you looked in a mirror sunshine? Silencing the debate on ‘legitimate and important’ antisemitism as you put it? You were part of it!

Keir Starmer is proud of his year, but he has no right to be!
Keir Starmer talks of pride and achievement in his New Year's message, but people queue up to tell him he has nothing to be proud of.
Right, so Keir Starmer. It’s the end of the year, you might have guessed he’d have some kind of New Year message to pass on to the people of the UK, though sadly it’s never the resignation announcement many of us keep hoping for. For the man as shameless as he is dishonest, it was an excuse to once pretend he cares about anyone except himself, by talking of pride and achievement, talking of war, in Ukraine and Israel and Gaza, before turning the whole thing into a party political broadcast for himself. I found it to be as mind numbing as it was angering, not one apology for the mistakes he’s made, the stupidity he’s spouted, or the insults to so many on the left, therefore you can imagine that not just I have something to say about his New Year message, but a great many people took to social media to have their say on it too. Starmer has ended the year as he will go on through 2024 – being reviled by most people in this country and if he does end up as Prime Minister at some point this year, it will be despite him, not because of him.
Right, so Keir Starmer, it was another one of those speeches to end the year off was it Damo? You might be thinking and yes, it was like most of his others – pretending everything is a relaunch as he tries to forget everything he’s done so far, perpetually blowing up in his face as things do, but that’s what happens when you lie like a rug to the British public time after time and never apologise for any of it.
So let’s get it out of the way and then we can shred it can’t we! Starmer said:
‘On behalf of the Labour Party, I’d like to wish you all a Happy New Year. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
2023 has been a year of pride and achievement. For the Lionesses, yet again so close to doing an unprecedented double. And of course a year when our country stepped into a new era, with a new king, King Charles III, crowned in the Spring.
It has also been another tough year economically for millions of people. And beyond our shores a time of great insecurity, with war still raging in Ukraine and enormous suffering in Israel and Gaza. The Labour Party will do everything we can in 2024 to push for a political solution to that conflict. A secure Israel, alongside a viable Palestinian state. A hope that may be fragile, but that must be kept alive because there is always power in that word hope, it is the fuel of change, the oxygen of a better future and this year, in Britain, the power to shape the future of our country will rest in your hands. In the Labour Party, we’ve been building to this for four years. We’re confident we have a plan that can move our country forward, end the cost of living crisis, take back our streets, get the NHS back on its feet, cheaper energy bills for your home, more opportunities for your children, but most of all I’m ready to renew our politics, so it once again serves our country.

Tony Blair in Israel to ‘assist’ with Gaza refugees
Tony Blair denies he's involved in ethnic cleansing of the gazan people, so what are you talking to Israel about then?
Right, so Tony Blair, he of the all too common rare intervention, he of the dodgy dossiers, he of all people, with his history in the Middle East, both in terms of the Iraq War and following his time as Prime Minister as a Special Envoy to the Middle East, has a lot of fingers in a lot of pies out there, but a track record of doing nothing but making a bigger mess of things when it comes to foreign policy. Keir Starmer’s idol is the last person you want anywhere near the situation in Israel and Gaza right now, but guess where he and his rictus grin have cropped up now? Yup, Blair’s in Israel. He’s there it is alleged, to discuss what is being reported as ‘day after’ issues, the what do we do with Gaza after the war finishes scenario, so the question is, with him meeting with Israel’s leaders and not with Palestinian ones, at least, that isn’t being reported and perhaps also isn’t surprising. What exactly is he up to, because seeing what Israel have done over the last 11 weeks and heading to court as they now are thanks to South Africa, a cynic might think this amounts to Blair potentially getting involved in ethnic cleansing.
Right, so Tony Blair is back in the Middle East it is being reported, but actually he’s been active for a few months, building links between Netanyahu’s genocidal government and Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, very much cast in the same mould as Blair’s government, but likely to be so much worse. If Starmer is the sort of person who wants to build diplomatic connections to someone like Benjamin Netanyahu, why the hell would you want him to run the country, but therein is the fight so many of us have, who have repeatedly pointed this out.
Anyway, now news has broken according to Israel’s Channel 12, though source material for these allegations is iffy, that Blair might be aiding Netanyahu and Israel in the search for somewhere to send Gazan refugees, the inference being there will be no Gaza for them to return to, so what is being alluded to here is clearly ethnic cleansing. Is Blair involving in this? Well a spokesperson for him has vehemently denied this, Channel 12 published this statement saying:
‘The reports that Tony Blair has something to do with voluntary evacuation are not true, there was no such discussion and he does not intend to consider it either.’
So perhaps there’s no story here then? Well this statement was published alongside claims by Channel 12 to the contrary and media outlets don’t tend to contradict themselves in their own articles if there is no smoke without fire, though it is worth noting that Channel 12 mention no source for this story. Nonetheless, it got picked up by the much larger Time of Israel too They write on this story:
‘Former British prime minister Tony Blair is reportedly being eyed by Israeli leaders to serve as the mediator between Jerusalem and moderate Arab countries on post-war Gaza and a controversial Israeli aim of having other nations absorb residents of Gaza who leave the Strip.

UK conflict with Yemen for daring to oppose Israel?
As the US sink Houthi boats in the Red Sea, our government, via our joke of a Defence Secretary Grant Shapps talks of joining in.
Right, so the Houthis in Yemen have assembled on a picket line in effect at the Bab-El-Mandeb Strait in the southern end of the Red Sea, picketing Israel, picketing ships going to Israel and picketing ships coming from Israel. They have told the world, we’re holding strike action for the atrocities Israel are committing in Gaza, they are violating international law and if you won’t do something about it they say to the rest of the world, then we will.
They are manning their picket line with drones and speedboats and missiles, they are drawing attention to the genocide happening and saying to every country attempting to cross their picket line that they won’t let you, that there will be no scabs here, no tolerance for that.
Military action much like industrial action comes to an end when people get around the table and negotiate and hammer out a deal, but the Western overseers of Israel, their buddies, their business associates, their trade partners, they don’t like this, so not only are the US and the UK now saying they will be scabs and continue seeking to break down Yemen’s solidarity picket line with Gaza, but they’re going to do it with direct military action aimed at the Houthi’s themselves. No money for Gaza, but money for war, no peace for Gaza, no dealing with a genocidal nation, but instead threats aimed at those standing by Gaza and against the genocide. What a sick society the West has become and what pathetic creatures pass for world leaders placing themselves on the wrong side of history in their determination to treat Israel as an exception even now.
Right, so those plucky Houthi’s have caused more and more problems for poor, poor Israel, hurting their poor widdle economy so their backers in the West are coming to their rescue. Not the rescue of the people of Gaza who are being wiped out, their lands ethnically cleansed, not 10,000 kids k*lled, that doesn’t motivate them, but two tankers in the Red Sea targeted by Yemen and watch them mobilise now! Oops what am I thinking, I called them Yemen and Houthi’s so far haven’t I,. I’ve forgotten that the media are all about blaming Iran for all of this aren’t they, so that’s Iran backed Yemen and Iran backed Houthi’s. Not US backed Israel though, we can’t say that, that’d be journalism wouldn’t it!
But let’s turn to what our government here in the UK are saying, because reports dropping this morning are that our unelected Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his mandateless gang of cabinet miscreants are planning airstrikes on ‘Houthi rebels’, emboldened by the fact the US has apparently sunk 3 Yemeni boats harassing a tanker. Yemeni’s died for Israel’s convenience and we’re now saying – and by we, I mean the UK government, they aren’t doing any of this in my name – want some of that action too. What does Sunak want, a pat on the head by Netanyahu? The living daylights are getting blasted out of Gaza and our government wants to take military action against those brave enough to take a stand against that.

NHS Privatiser in waiting Wes Streeting cheers IDF linked health firm!
A health-tech firm linked to the Israeli Defence Force is hailed as the future of the NHS by labour Friend of Israel Wes Streeting.
Right, so the New Year has got off to an awful start for Keir Starmer’s health minion Wes Streeting and this video was going to be more about that, the multitude of ways his year has gotten off to quite a rotten start, my heart bleeds for him truly, but a breaking story this morning served to remind me, as if it were really needed, just how much he deserves a bad day or two and also what a Godawful, NHS privatiser in waiting Wes Streeting actually is. Streeting you see is also involved with Labour Friends of Israel, LFI, who could have guessed he would find a way to combine his loyalty to Israel with NHS privatisation, but he’s done it, Labour no longer anything like on the side of the health service, led by a guy who stood to renationalise it and remove the privatisation that has already crept in, and yet here we are today, with Labour ready to carry on where the Tories leave off should they win the General Election and holding up a private health firm from Israel as an example, when we’re all living health privatisation here and now and we know it doesn’t work, let alone take inspiration from a genocidal regime to continue with it.
Right, so Wes Streeting, if anyone deserves to have some bad news come their way to ring in the New Year, it is he, but I’ll come onto that in a bit, end the video on a positive note. Let’s sort out his pro Israel exaltation of private health here first, because this is worrisome not only because of how deeply wedded to continuing NHS privatisation as Streeting is, but that he chooses one of the most detested regimes on the planet right now as a source to try and sell his snake oil.
In an exclusive this morning this channel’s very good friends at Skwawkbox, it seems Streeting name dropped a firm with links not just to Israel, but with the IDF itself, in his sales pitch.
Streeting is eying up the NHS App so many of us have on our phones, some 31 million of us apparently, using such data to open up the NHS to more health entrepreneurs. Not more medics then? That’s a shame, that’s what we actually need. The i newspaper covered this and their brief explainer reads:
‘A Labour government would open up the NHS to private “entrepreneurs” to develop at-home health tests and open more of the UK up to clinical trials, i understands.
Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting wants to transform the way NHS goods and suppliers are chosen, with a greater use of private providers to clear the huge backlog of non-emergency treatment at the top of his to-do list.
New health technology would be tried at a single NHS trust before potentially being rolled out across the country, while the health service would collaborate more closely with the life sciences sector.
A source close to Mr Streeting told i Labour will encourage the spread of new technologies so private sector “innovators” have a clearer route to get their product into the NHS.
He has already pledged to “hold the door wide open” to entrepreneurs so that his party can “put our foot on the accelerator” when it comes to NHS reform.’

The October 7th Nova Music Festival survivors are SUING ISRAEL!
Survivors of the Nova Music Festival attack by Hamas & the IDF on October 7th are suing their own security forces for negligence!
Right, so the events of October 7th, Hamas entering Israeli kibbutzes and taking hostages that have kicked off an increase in aggression by Israel on Gaza, not started it, it has been going on for far longer than that, but what did shift was the attention the rest of the world have given these events given the level of atrocity that has been committed by Israel in Gaza since, but for this story we need to go back to that night of October 7th and remind ourselves of what happened. The Hamas operatives heading towards those farmlands, those kibbutzes in a strike against Israel in resisting their occupation, absolutely not condoning how they chose to do that in any way, shape or form, people died, hostages were taken but what they didn’t expect to encounter was a music festival in their way, a music festival that also ended up seeing people die and hostages taken too, though of those who died, more and more evidence is mounting up laying the blame for so many of those deaths at the feet of the Israeli Defence Force.
Now a group of survivors of that night, of that music festival are having their day in court in the very first civil damages case of it’s kind, as they are seeking damages totalling some NIS 200m New Israeli Shekels, equivalent to some $56m, accusing the Israeli security force Shin Bet of negligence, because of course, Israel knew it was coming.
Right, so the Israeli state is getting sued, the Israeli security forces at any rate, so by extension the state, by their own people over the events of October 7th, on grounds of negligence, because the Israeli state knew the attack from Hamas was coming.
If you cast your mind back to when these most recent events began, it was alleged from the very start, that Israel knew Hamas were coming, knew they were planning an attack and they just let it happen. Egypt have repeatedly stated they had warned Israel it was coming, as arbiters often between Israel and Hamas, Egypt were privy to this knowledge, had gathered this intelligence and they passed it on certainly in the belief that in doing so Israel would act upon it and seek to counteract and preserve life. Instead, this most bats**t and right wing of Israeli governments, Netanyahu’s hands tied by the very worst elements of right wing ideology that he chose to go into government with, appear to have allowed this situation to play out and we can only conclude from that and everything that we’ve witnessed since, that that was done deliberately to excuse what they are now doing, committing genocide, violating international law, forcibly moving 2.2m Gazans and seeking to ethnically cleanse Gaza for takeover and settlement by Israel.
To that end, anyone who happened to be caught in the crossfire on October 7th was considered expendable, their lives a price worth paying.
That might seem a blunt and callous thing to say, but we know so many Israeli’s who were killed that night, were killed by the IDF, were killed by their own countrymen.

The detail in South Africa’s legal case against Israel is astonishing!
South Africa are taking Israel to the ICJ for Genocide, but the evidence gathered by them far outweighs just the headline.
Right, so news broke last night that South Africa had filed a case with the International Criminal Court against Israel for committing the crime of Genocide under the terms of the Genocide Convention, of which both countries are of course signatories. It is incumbent on all signatories to uphold it, but it’s taken South Africa to actually do it, showing on one hand either how little other countries consider the importance of preventing genocide or how afraid of Israel they might happen to be. South Africa of all nations I think though, being the ones to go first in effect, others might find their balls now to follow, sends a powerful message given the history of apartheid in their country. They of all people to my mind would be the ones to recognise that same apartheid when they see it elsewhere, they have long pointed it out in the Middle East, so yes, it is great that this has happened and people can speculate about what might happen and what consequences there might be, but if that is as far as your train of thought is going, then you’re missing not only the point of the submission to the International Court of Justice, but also the detail, because the case South Africa have put together should not only get people talking about Palestine and Israel once again, but also be horrified by the detail of the submission and what exactly South Africa are accusing Israel of, what people there have actually said, actually done and the actual crimes themselves that Israel stand accused of.
Right, so South Africa have submitted a case to the International Court of Justice under the terms of the Genocide Convention against Israel for committing the act of genocide. This is dominating the news, though sadly if you’re watching the BBC, you’ll have heard more along the lines of ‘Israel has reacted furiously to South Africa filing an ICJ case alleging Israel has committed "Genocidal Acts.”’ Nice of the BBC to put prominence on Israel’s reaction, rather than South Africa’s action, but really why should any of us be surprised. However an awful lot of the news coverage is reaction, a lot of videos coming out today by other content creators will be reaction stuff too, but that misses what exactly South Africa has done. What are they actually accusing Israel of? What is their case? What have they submitted? Well I shall tell you, though forgive me for being brief on this myself because South Africa’s submission, focussed solely on events since October 7th, but set against that historical backdrop of 75 years of apartheid, 56 years of occupation and 16 years of it’s blockade against Gaza, runs to 86 pages. 86 pages of Israeli atrocity in 11 weeks produced by one nation, so I apologise in advance for keeping things brief here, highlights if you like, but my goodness if you can find time please do read the full submission because it isn’t getting enough attention.

Gaza reacts to South Africa taking Israel to court!
South Africa is taking Israel to the ICJ for the crime of genocide, but how has Gaza and it's Hamas led authority reacted?
Right, so you can imagine it must come as some sense of relief that at last somebody is taking up the case of the Palestinian people against the Israeli genocide we’re all witnessing and I’ve gone into exactly what South Africa have done there in my other video earlier tonight, so go watch that after this, the case they’ve put together is incredibly detailed and as harrowing as you might imagine it is.
But Gaza have issued a response to this, via their Hamas led government, which if such a statement elicits feelings of boo and hiss in you, then you’re missing the point of them being the elected government in Gaza, regardless of who deems them terrorists instead, you can define them by their actions but in doing so you also have to define them by the situation they exist under, but also realise they’re speaking on behalf of people most of whom, the vast majority of whom are not Hamas anyway and their message is not one of calling for more death and destruction, but one you ought to perhaps listen to, especially if you’re the sort of person who has been saying Gaza deserves what it gets.
Right, so South Africa have submitted an 86 page case against Israel under the terms of the Genocide Convention to the International Court of Justice. They aren’t hanging about with it either, they have asked for the case to be expedited given the ongoing atrocities and have asked the Court to convene in the next few days to issue ‘provisional measures’ under the terms of the Convention calling for a ceasefire which would therefore be binding according to international law – seems obvious given a court will have issued such an order doesn’t it? Would Israel obey it? Probably not, they broke the week long ceasefire in November repeatedly, whereas Hamas obeyed it as they have on previous occasions, but in this case they’ve already accused South Africa of blood libel having brought this case against them. No contrition, no acknowledgement, just screaming victim as usual. If you aren’t familiar with the term blood libel it’s not just claiming antisemitism, it’s claiming that South Africa have accused them of killing Christians in order to drink their blood. It goes way past their usual level of jumping the shark in their accusations of anti Jewish racism, conflating their state with the Jewish faith as they do, falsely, nobody gets to play the religion card to excuse state sanctioned atrocity, it’s more jumping the shark, doing a 360 around the moon and coming back down to Earth again. Ultimately though, if such a ceasefire ruling were passed and Israel did as expected break it, then it can surely only result in international opinion swaying against them all the more?
But nowhere was the news of this case being brought to the attention of the International Court of Justice more welcomed, than in Gaza itself, where the Hamas led government there have issued a statement saying:
‘In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
We highly appreciate South Africa's initiative to file a request in the International Court of Justice to commence investigations against the criminal "Israeli" entity for committing the genocide against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. South Africa's move is an important step towards holding the leaders of the entity, the criminals of our age, accountable for the most heinous massacres known to humanity in our contemporary history.

Why have more British troops been sent to Israel’s doorstep?
1000 more British troops in the Med, half of them on Cyprus, on Israel's doorstep, but where are the other 500 then?
Right, so the prospect of British troops being sent into Israel has come up in conversation once more. We know the US already have a military presence there, they’re currently building a big fat air base in the Israeli Negev Desert, it comprises the southern half of the country south of the West Bank, there could already be US troops there as a result, but could UK ones be going there is the question right now, because shortly before Xmas, when we were very much distracted by the actual goings on in Israel, the genocide, and of course very much not reported by the mainstream media, all that military activity at that UK air base in Cyprus that we’ve been letting the US use as well, that have been making lots of secretive flights to Israel, of which the Tory government is telling us nothing about? Well all of a sudden activity has increased there and that activity has seen an increase in British military personnel…
Right, so we’re back to that air base in Cyprus, regular viewers might remember I covered this last month, where the Akrotiri RAF base on Cyprus was clearly being used to make flights into and out of Israel. Of course the Tories were questioned on what was going on, but they pleaded national security so as to not make it public and of course to avoid answering the question too. It has led to the spectre of weapons being transported from a UK air base, this was denied, but what is a Tory denial worth these days? It hasn’t done much to alleviate scepticism when the UK remains resolutely on Israel’s side, at least our government and the official opposition does, when most of us would check the window if they told us it was raining.
But on the 12th December, things changed from just flights going into and out of Cyprus, because as Declassified UK have discovered, some 500 British troops have been sent to and have been stationed at Akrotiri begging the questions of why are they there and what are they there for?
Now, since October 7th, questions have been put to the government regarding the British military response given their hurried and emphatic support for Israel, completely contrary to that of the nation now, and on the 14th November, a question by Labour’s Shadow Defence Secretary John Healey, most recently posing with Keir Starmer in b*mber jackets - how fitting - to defence minister James Heappey sought to ask if there had been any UK troop movements to any UK air bases in the Mediterranean. Now the UK has such bases in the Mediterranean, Cyprus being the obvious one that we’re talking about now, there is also an air base in Gibraltar, but Heappey didn’t mention that, instead in his reply to Healey on the 20th November, Heappey said:
‘Since 7 October 2023, there has been an increase of approximately 1,000 Service personnel deployed to the Sovereign Base Areas on the island of Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean to support contingency planning and humanitarian objectives across the region. This figure remains under review.
No additional military personnel have been deployed to Oman, beyond those taking part in planned activity.’

Was ANOTHER peace deal screwed up by the US and UK?
Commentary by negotiators as recently as yesterday say the Ukraine War could have ended 18 months ago but for the US & UK.
Right, so for as much as the focus of military news right now is all about Israel and Gaza, this time last year of course it was Ukraine and Russia dominating the headlines, that war still very much going on, it just doesn’t make headline news so much now with Netanyahu making Putin look like an out and out pacifist by comparison. Revelations that have just come out however, imply that that war could and should have been over more than a year ago now, because a deal was put on the table, a paeace deal which Putin had apparently accepted, only for the US and UK to come in here as well and scupper the whole thing. Is there a war anywhere these days that the US and the UK, their ever loyal lackey’s it seems can’t make worse? Is the dealing in death business really so lucrative that human life no longer seems to register with these countries?
Right, so here we are again, another war another unwelcome, unhelpful intervention by the West it would seem, the US and UK having managed to keep the Ukraine War going this time, when last Spring it could have been settled and ended. So what happened then and where has this come from Damo? Well I shall tell you.
Let’s begin by covering what was said by a former Ukrainian peace negotiator, Ambassador Oleksandr Chalyi at a Geneva Centre of Security Policy event held yesterday. He came out with a couple of notable points on the prospect of a peace settlement in Ukraine. He said:
‘I was at that moment in the group of Ukrainian peace negotiators. We negotiate with the Russian delegation for practically 2 months, in March and April [2022] on a possible peaceful settlement agreement between Ukraine and Russia.
We concluded the so-called “Istanbul Communique” and we were very close in the middle of April, the end of April to finalise our war with some peaceful settlement. For some reason it was postponed.
But to my mind, Putin – this is my personal view – in one week after the start of his aggression on 24th February last year, very quickly understood he [made a] mistake and tried to do everything possible to conclude an agreement with Ukraine. And the Istanbul Communique, it was his personal decision to accept the text of this communique…so we managed to find a very real compromise, so Putin really wanted to reach some peaceful settlement with Ukraine.’
This from one of Ukraine’s peace negotiators. Frankly if anyone else had said this, they might have invited accusations of being some kind of Russian stooge perhaps, but this was one of the guy’s in the room and although yes part of what he says is personal opinion, not all of it is.
Functionally what he said there, the deal that was alluded to, that Istanbul Communique, was a 10 point plan for peace, but all boiled down it amounted to saying that the war could end if Ukraine agreed to remain neutral and also agreed not to join NATO. Now bear in mind this was just a couple months after the war began, it could have been nipped in the bud quickly and easily, so what happened? Well according to another Ukrainian peace negotiator, the US and the UK did.

Israel’s Xmas Message from Stephen Fry vs Alexei Sayle’s alternative!
The Israel connections of Stephen Fry's awful Xmas message meant that Alexei Sayle provided the real alternative this year.
Right, so I hope everyone watching had a very Happy Christmas, so much has happened both here and in the Middle East that warrants some coverage so we’d better get into it and let’s start with Christmas messages, though forget Charles’ offering of his first King’s Speech, I’m not interested in whatever hypocrisy comes from his untaxed and unelected lips, I’m looking at the alternatives that were put on offer, two very different videos both put on by two older Jewish comedians, though with decidedly different backgrounds and most certainly different messages. Stephen Fry, a man who invokes in me at least memories of Blackadder and Fry and Laurie vs Alexei Sayle, one of Liverpool’s finest sons and the Young Ones, but also of social activism and social justice. Both gave us alternative Christmas messages, but only one was an actual alternative to anything, the other was straight out of Israel and there’s evidence of that now too.
Right, so Happy Christmas folks, hope you had a good one, though depending on which if these messages you’ve watched, perhaps like me it was both, perhaps neither as you don’t go in for those things, but if the latter is the case, there is definitely one here you want to go and see and if you haven’t seen Alexei Sayle’s four minutes of both hilarious and hard hitting alternative messaging, you absolutely must make an exception for it. My mother always used to say every comedian was a genius, they had to be to be both funny and quick and indeed right now to find the humour in the darkest of times and I totally agree with her, but it very much depends on who you find funny I guess, but their humour also has to find the truth of the matter, it has to be honest to work and for the pro Palestine Jew Alexei Sayle, with his comfy chair in front of a large open fire, set off by a couple of poinsettias, the set up was there, but what came next was every bit an alternative.
Sayle starts by talking about how he shies away from politics and social injustice and that finding humour in the darkest of times is what the job is and as you all know now I agree with that, it’s the genius of the comedian I feel to be able to do that, but that doesn’t exclude people from social justice and activism either. I’m not going to describe every bit of the video, you absolutely need to go and watch it, it is brilliant in it’s brutal honesty mixed with that humour of what we are seeing on all matter of elderly Jewish comedians and what they talk about, vs him, as an elderly Jewish comedian too, bucking the trend in effect by saying he wants a go, only he does it right. A cat saying victory to Palestine at the start sets the tone for all that follows in Sayle’s typically caustic style. Taking apart the establishment narratives over Gaza, tearing apart both the Tories and Labour over that, he speaks of Bethlehem in the West Bank not celebrating Christmas, the birth of a baby there 2000 years ago the reason why we as Christians celebrate Christmas of course and the fact they didn’t this year.

Bethlehem cancels Christmas, so Israel attacks them.
Christmas Day in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ was one of attacks by Israel and a sermon heard around the world.
Right, so where else other than the birthplace of Jesus for Israel to bomb on Christmas Day then? They literally targeted Bethlehem, which, for the record is an occupied city these days not in Gaza, but in the West Bank, so for the record anyone saying but do you condemn Hamas? What about Hamas, or any derivatives thereof, there is no Hamas in the West Bank, so go on, get your excuses out now.
Bethlehem was just one such place in the West Bank deliberately targeted on Christmas day, deliberately attacking Christians on their holy day, the most holy day in the Christian calendar, so again I say this isn’t even about religion which Israel love to hide behind, it is about Zionism, that political ideology being used to wipe others out, conflated with religion as it is and whilst all this was happening Netanyahu was wishing all we Christians a Happy Christmas. Well not in a little town called Bethlehem it wasn’t. Nor in Jenin, nor in Nablus. But a Christmas message on that day was still delivered in Bethlehem even if all celebrations were cancelled, one of the most powerful I’ve ever heard. A message of defiance that the whole world needs to hear.
Right, so Christmas day in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ, in the occupied West Bank as it is, being targeted on Christmas Day, you can’t say was not deliberate. The day started with an attack on a refugee camp, because that’s how the cowards of the IDF roll, target those with the least, those most unable to resist and the refugee camp at Jenin was targeted, resulting in arrests. Bethlehem was targeted, Nablus was targeted, Jericho targeted, Ramallah targeted, dozens were arrested by the end of the day and a 17 year old boy was shot in the neck. Injured only, not killed fortunately though. Still, happy f**king Christmas.
Jenin is the most raided place in the West Bank, seen as a symbol of resistance and we can’t have that can we?
We’re only targeting Hamas say Israel, which makes the 303 West Bank Palestinians killed since October 7th an epic example of Israeli misfires I suppose? You’re aim is worse than a Star Wars Stormtrooper is that it? If Hamas are your targets, why are you attacking the West Bank? But of course it is what they always do. Patrols go in daily, in total control as Israel is. They raid homes in the night for something to do. There are documented cases of arrests of completely innocent Palestinians there, done as training exercises. It’s abuse, but the level of atrocity seen there of Christmas Day and the targeting of Bethlehem, who had cancelled Christmas celebrations due to Israel’s actions was absolutely deliberate.
On Christmas Eve Netanyahu had the gall to assign another $21m to more settlements in the West Bank. They are illegal, they are a violation of international law, but Israel in doing this as they have so many times before remind us they are above that law, and the US, who send so much of this money to fund settlements by various means, not just government support, use their veto at the Security Council to keep them above international law.

Scapegoating Iran won’t make us ignore Israel’s attacks on Gaza!
Media stories are emerging centring on Iran following Yemen's support for Palestine. A convenient scapegoat for pro Israelis?
Right, so the Houthis in Yemen are still giving Israel a big headache with their shipping and despite the best efforts of the US to tackle this with their Operation Prosperity Guardians, it is costing everyone concerned a fortune, deservedly, when the simple, easy answer for the US and it’s allies to stop wasting cash is to tell Israel to stop bombing Gaza, they are the one country who could stop this in a heartbeat. If they won’t, well, more fool them. But the media messaging on the shipping delays and attacks has shifted and that in turn has seen shifts on the political stage at least in some quarters. The phrase Iran backed came up, I covered that the other day, saying well Israel should be called US backed in which case, seems only fair, but this narrative is carrying on and more and more Iran is becoming the focus. If Israel’s reputation is in tatters, if people are siding with and showing sympathy for the people of Gaza, of Palestine and the Houthis of Yemen who have their backs and any talk against them is no longer cutting through as once it did, then a new scapegoat is needed, a new boogeyman to convince the masses is the real enemy here, but it’s really pathetic to drag in a nation that originally had nothing to do with any of this back on October 7th as someone to distract from Israel and again attempt to garner sympathy for that nation despite what they are doing. You can’t say the pro Israel Lobby aren’t triers but let’s not pretend Iran are the villains here either.
Right, so it’s a case of end the siege in Gaza and all the shipping hold ups by the Houthis in Yemen will end. That is what has been said from the beginning of their response to Israel, their solidarity with Palestine, with what is happening in Gaza and they’ve been treated like a joke for it basically. God forbid Israel be told to stop bombing indiscriminately. It no longer matters that it looks like they killed more of their own people on October 7th than Hamas did, that one night has now led to 11 weeks of attacks on the Gaza Strip, over 70,000 Gazans injured, nearly 30,000 killed, of which more than 11,000 were children. But our shipping they wail. Our economy they moan. Well stop wasting national money on bombs and rockets and bullets and guns against a captive population you hold under occupation, who’s rockets would make little more than a fun firework on November 5th and who for the most part are armed with sticks and stones. Which is a shoot to kill or imprisonment offence according to Israel by the way.
How dare anyone side with Palestine. Well tough. A lot of us have, not least those in Yemen, but the Yemeni retaliation seems to have opened the door for a convenient scapegoat, the eternally villainous in Western Media anyway nation of Iran, who are apparently funding those plucky Houthis, with their drones and their speedboats and their parody Top Gun videos just to flip the bird to the US.

Netanyahu’s crazy & hypocritical Twitter rant blows up in his face!
Benjamin Netanyahu is a thin-skinned fella, so when Turkey's leader compared him to Hitler, well, things got aired publicly!
Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu has taken to Twitter, it doesn’t matter what Elon Musk wants to call it, it’s always going to be Twitter, and he’s done so seemingly because it’s finally dawning on him that he’s lost the narrative and the global protection that Israel has got used to enjoying and he’s lashing out at anyone and anything he thinks is out to get him. While Western leaders in the US, the UK and the EU are still fawning over him of course, others around the world and certainly ordinary citizens around the world aren’t having a bar of it. He knows his own political survival depends on keeping this going, which means after Gaza there will be somewhere else, there will always be another enemy he will have to target to remain in place, but his Twitter tirade will have hopefully gone some way towards ensuring his reign is nearing it’s end sooner rather than later.
Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu has had a little tizzy on social media and it’s not gone well for him all things considered, because the hypocrisy of what he’s mouthed off about has been lost on literally nobody. This has centred around him essentially picking a fight with the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, himself not exactly a shining beacon of great leadership, tolerance or democracy. He has been a monster to the Kurdish people in Turkey and Syria and is in many ways little different to Netanyahu. The thing is, Netanyahu attacking him is likely only to cause himself and Israel more harm not only reputationally but economically too.
So how did this spat between these two despots start then? Well it really does say something, it really comes to something that when someone as awful himself as Erdogan is thinks that your actions make you an absolute piece of s**t doesn’t it? But that is where we are. Erdogan gave a speech which, when translated into English said:
‘For 80 days we’ve watched all of humanities values be killed before our very eyes. We watched Israel’s Nazi camps in the stadiums right? What is this? How are you different from Hitler? They’ll make us long for Hitler. Is there anything different in Netanyahu’s actions compared to Hitler’s? No.’
Very strong words, but nothing that a lot of commentators haven’t already been saying, a lot of the imagery seen has reminded people of scenes from World War II. Erdogan himself drew attention to what he called Nazi camps in the stadiums and indeed this has been one of the bigger stories over the seasonal period where we have seen what many media outlets are calling men, but which definitely also include children, being stripped to their underwear and gathered in stadiums, not dissimilar to, for example, the Vel d’hiv round up of Jews in 1942 in Paris, by the Nazis and Vichy France or later in 1973 by Pinochet in the Santiago Stadium in Chile. The former example just one of that time which bears out Erdogan’s comparison, no matter how uncomfortable that might make some feel. A stadium turned into a detention centre. A concentration camp within the concentration camp which is the Gaza Strip anyway.
