here's David Collier. what do you think he's saying here, exactly? in what sense do "Syria, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan and these days even Tower Hamlets" have the same "look"? what could he be possibly referring to?

1. What is happening to the Palestinians right now is not new, not some anomaly, not some break with the past. It is a continuation of what has been happening to the Palestinians at the hands of Western imperialism for a hundred years now.

just to state the obvious but sometimes the obvious has to be stated: the reason journalists have a duty to avoid spreading incendiary propaganda about beheaded babies is because if you just rip, this happens:

you may remember Rashan Charles, who died under police restraint in Hackney a couple of years ago. you may also recall that police were aided by a random "member of the public" who just happened to be around. well the CCTV tells a different story.

New evidence, fresh questions about death of young Black Londoner Rashan Charles

Police claimed the man who helped an officer restrain and handcuff Rashan Charles was “a member of the public” with no police connection. CCTV evidence raises doubts. Shine A Light exclusive (distr...

excellent piece from @DanFinn95 on Starmer v Corbyn – presents a very clear and compelling account of the factional rationale lurking behind the often nonsensical discourse.

Keir Starmer’s Case for Excluding Jeremy Corbyn Gives Damp Squibs a Bad Name

After years of moralizing rhetoric, Keir Starmer couldn’t find a single credible accusation of misconduct to block his predecessor from running as a Labour candidate. All that’s left is a shrill...

note that this "peace plan" involves Palestinians getting a "state" that they will have NO SAY over. it would be a dictatorship, with the dictator appointed by the West. the deal is: we will tolerate your existence, but only as a subhuman class stripped of all political rights.

Keir Starmer is right: we urgently need an end to the fighting and a permanent and sustainable ceasefire in Gaza. How do we get there? ⬇️

dynamite interview, do watch. this guy was until recently a v senior State Dept official, literally responsible for signing off arms shipments to Israel. he resigned publicly a month ago and is now arguing that the US must cut the flow of arms to Israel and force it to heel. >>

Josh Paul resigned from the State Dept over sending arms to Israel. “I have heard from actually so many hundreds of colleagues at this point who support what I did,” he says. “They are finding what is happening both a moral disaster and a policy disaster for the United States.”

nice to see this spelled out so clearly >> "A return to the electoral college has little support in Labour ranks outside its Blairite right wing, which would benefit because it has very small support in the membership but a major caucus in the parliamentary party among MPs."

they're all using this formulation you'll note. would be nice if a single journalist were to ask them what the difference is between the fighting stopping now, which they are calling for, and an immediate ceasefire, which they are not.
