“ Justice will overtake fabricators of lies and false witnesses.” Heraclitus.  What a name.  We found out this week, in the most tragic way imaginable, why the handful of Western journalists that have avoided the temptation of becoming bought and paid for Zionist mouthpieces, are kept as far away from Gaza as possible.  You will already know the story.  ITV interviewed a group of Palestinians, all with their hands in the air, one of whom was raising a white flag above his head. Once the interview ended the photographer turned around to take one more photo of them.  Gunfire rang out, and Ramzi Abu Sahlou was assassinated - shot in the chest by an Israeli sniper - witnessed by the ITV news crew.  Shooting an unarmed person under the supposed safety of a white flag is a war crime, and the defenders and supporters of these horrifying acts of wickedness belong in The Hague alongside the pariah state of Israel. The IDF - globally known for being one of the most immoral military forces on the

In the past I have been very lucky and undeservingly privileged to be able to ask questions to people like Noam Chomsky, Jeremy Corbyn and Alexei Sayle.  Mr Chomsky told me he often looks at internet memes of Chomsky quotes and thinks “I never said that!”.  Mr Corbyn told me he only ever really had the “honest and full-hearted support” of just 15 MPs during his time as Labour leader.  And the indomitable Mr Sayle , who told me, “The crushing of the Corbyn Labour Party showed that there is essentially only one kind of ideology allowed in Western nations — a pro-big business, pro-military, pro-politcal arsehole one.”  But this is going to be something quite different altogether. Stripped back to the bare bones of humanity. Week after week I’ll try and offer a round up of facts that are usually ignored by a vast majority of the mainstream media. I’ll throw in opinions galore, often guided by a genuine outrage towards the corruption of power and the enemies of compassion and humanity.  L

Do you know what year saw the adoption of both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide?  1948.  I expect most people reading this will know, with a sense of tragic irony, that 1948 was also the year of the Nakba — the violent displacement and dispossession of the Palestinian people along with the destruction of their society, culture, identity, political rights, and national aspirations. Just wait until you work out the Nakba has never ended. It hits you real hard. The 2023/24 genocide of Gaza isn’t a ‘Nakba 2’, because the death, oppression, and ethinic cleansing — including some of the gravest crimes against humanity of the 21st Century, hasn’t ever stopped.  To qualify as genocide or attempted genocide, two things are required. First, the specific intent of the perpetrator to destroy all or part of an identified national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. Second, commission of at least one of five
