“A quarter of a century on from the Oslo Accords, we are no closer to justice or peace and the Palestinian tragedy continues, while the outside world stands by.” “And in order to help make that two-state settlement a reality we will recognize a Palestinian state as soon as we take office,” Jeremy Corbyn , September 2018.   "A siege is appropriate? Cutting off power? Cutting off water?"   "I think that Israel does have that right"  Keir Starmer to Nick Ferrari, October 2023.  From champions of global peace to encouraging war crimes and taking policy direction from the Prime Minister of Israel in the space of just 5 years. It’s been a horrifying and damaging journey for the Labour Party.  I’ve spent several months asking what sort of numbers of killed Palestinians would be the trigger for the Labour Party to decide it was time to stand up and say something, and we found out this week that the number is 30,000.  Unfortunately, for Keir Starmer’s Likud-loving Labour, t

I’m not entirely sure who needs to hear this, but Zionism is a genocidal cult. I say I’m not “entirely sure” who needs to hear Zionism is a genocidal cult, because you would have to be a Western white supremacist or wilfully ignorant in failing to notice this once-controversial but now entirely indisputable and demonstrable fact.  Call me an antisemite if it helps ease your baby killing conscience. That’s so 2016. Been there, done that, got the exclusive Jeremy Corbyn t-shirt and gifted it to my dearest friend.  Silly me. What conscience? You deranged fascist fruitcakes wouldn’t know the meaning of empathy and compassion. Stick to your shit TikTok videos with the indoctrinated bizarre kids.  Did you know, back in 1975, Zionism was declared a form of racism by the UN? Sure, 16 years later the resolution was abrogated because Israel made it a condition of attending a peace conference in Madrid the same year. Perhaps the UN should be looking at a new resolution that declares Israel a rac

“The calls for support are not for abstract words of diplomatic solidarity, but for urgent action that helps us feel human in the eyes of the world.” Mohammed R Mhawish is a Palestinian writer and journalist, based in Gaza City. Q. What does Sky, Channel 4 and the FT have in common?  A. They have all had the temerity to pull apart Israel’s ‘evidence’ that claimed UNRWA is some sort of a Hamas-front, rather than the largest distributor of vital lifesaving aid, slap bang in the middle of the world’s most devastating humanitarian disaster. “The Israeli intelligence documents make several claims that Sky News has not seen proof of and many of the claims, even if true, do not directly implicate Unrwa."  Britain - eternally comfortable in its role as a loyal subject of the Knessett - knew the allegations wouldn’t stack up.  Israel alleged that 10% of the UNRWA’s 13,000 employees in Gaza were "affiliated with Hamas or the Palestinian Islamic Jihad", and that "50% are fir
