What are their crimes?

None. The Madleen was a UK-flagged vessel sailing in international waters with an unarmed civilian crew. The actions of the Israelis amount to violation of UK sovereignty, abduction and kidnapping, crimes under international law. It's piracy.

In reality though, their crimes are opposing genocide, ethnic cleansing, mass starvation, apartheid and all the rest of the crimes against humanity committed by the US taxpayer-funded barbarian regime in Israel. Which are also supported by the American, British and most Western governments...

Comedy gold.

the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

Yanqui spooks and mercenaries earning vast sums from running the Zionist death camps. The Zionists have outsourced their genocide to the CIA.

GHF Interim Executive Director John Acree urged humanitarians in Gaza: "Work with us and we will get your aid delivered to those who are depending on it."

Why on earth is Reuters giving free advertising to concentration camp operators, whose involvement is vehemently opposed by the United Nations?

Ah bless, the Fourth Reich is upset that those nasty people on social media are calling it the Fourth Reich.

Israel says the Switzerland-based GHF is a U.S.-backed initiative

Yeah, right.

"Swiss authorities are considering criminal investigations into the "Swiss" Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, following complaints filed by TRIAL International, an NGO fighting impunity for international crimes.

This coincides with the resignation of Jake Wood, GHF Executive Director and the only Swiss member of the board (with no experience in humanitarian work). As a result, the foundation decided to shut down operations before they began.

Humanitarian aid distribution in Gaza will now proceed solely through a US-registered entity called... "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation", the brainchild of "israeli" lobby group Mikveh Yisrael Forum.

The US based GHF is clearly a front for Safe Reach Solutions, a US military intelligence and security contractor, founded by the former head of the CIA’s Centre for Special Activities Philip Raleigh (aka Philip F. Reilly).

Both companies were registered by representatives of Raleigh, it is staffed mostly by CIA and NSA veterans, former intelligence and military personnel.

There are deeper layers of front companies involved in this scheme that has deep and easily proven ties to the zionist occupation. Mysterious funding, US and "israeli" intelligence firms and flagrant human rights abuses follow this conspiracy at every step.

Military contractors on the payroll of the very governments carpet bombing Gaza can not be responsible for delivering humanitarian aid to the same population. The GHF has also expressed interest in coopting education in Gaza in a further attempt to undermine UNRWA and therefore Palestinian sovereignty itself. Gaza has one of the highest literacy rates in the world, in spite of the violence and oppression they faced long before October 2023. The dismantling of existing humanitarian systems and infrastructure is a deliberate "israeli" strategy, facilitated by the US in particular. Replacing UNRWA with shady US front companies will never be acceptable in any way, shape or form."

The US is now in the concentration camp business, alongside its profiteering from the Zionist genocide in Gaza.

Merseyside Police called for calm and said the arrested man was "a 53-year-old white British man from the Liverpool area".

It's a stark reflection of the state of modern society that the police have to release the colour and ethnicity of a criminal supsect to head off the racists and bigots on social media who will immediately claim it was an "illegal" Muslim immigrant that was responsible.

Western countries are coordinating this "criticism" of the genocide with Israel and the US, just as they have been coordinating their support for the genocide over the last 18 months. It's a performance; the UK continues to fly spy planes over Gaza to collect intelligence for the Israelis and send military transport planes, which can carry weapons and soldiers, from a Royal Air Force base on Cyprus to Tel Aviv. It's unspeakable evil.

And for those who still belive the genocide is just a case of a "few bad apples at the top" here's a report on a Penn State University poll of Israeli Jews conducted in March this year.

It reveals overwhelming (82%) support for ethnic cleansing of Gazans, a solid-majority (56%) support for ethnic cleansing of Israeli Arabs.

Nearly half (47%) support killing all Gazans in cities captured by IDF.

It's worth repeating that last one: nearly half of all Israeli Jews support the extermination, the mass murder, the genocide of all Gazans.

They're going to claim it was Iran.

"Netanyahu: Implementation of Trump’s Gaza relocation plan is condition for ending war"

Part of "Trump's Plan" is concentration camps administered by two American companies, UG Solutions and Safe Reach Solutions.

UG Solutions was founded by Jameson Govoni, a Green Beret who developed new surveillance methods for US Special Forces while Safe Reach Solutions was founded by the former head of CIA's paramilitary Special Activities Division, Philip F Reilly.

The US is now in the concentration camp business, alongside its profiteering from the Zionist genocide in Gaza.

Who exactly do you think supplies the troops for UN peacekeeping operations?

Here's a list of the countries that contribute troops to UNIFIL in Lebanon:

https://unifil.unmissions.org/unifil-troop-contributing-countries

No Yanquis in there. Plenty of Italians, Chinese, Indonesians and Irish, though. When the US taxpayer-funded Zionist child-murderers invaded Lebanon recently, they were shooting at the Irish peacekeepers...

The US taxpayer-funded genocide never stops.

Trump said the meeting with Sharaa, who he described as a young, attractive guy with a very strong past, was "great".

Strangely, Trump failed to mention that Sharaa is a rebranded medieval barbarian, a former leader of Al-Qaeda/ISIS, responsible for the murders of Syrians, Iraqis, Alawites, Christians, Muslims and Americans.

South Africans?

I like Stephen Graham, a local actor from my hometown. Born in Kirkby, Lancashire, a tough hood for kids.

Me too, he's a wonderful actor, one of the very best we have right now.

I haven't watched Adolescence and probably I won't but I was wondering how many commentators here have seen it?

Not having watched something never prevents these people from being furiously outraged by it.

Civilian victims of the U.S. firebombings received nothing.

A suit was brought in 2007 in Tokyo but was rejected by the courts, as was a previous attempt in Nagoya in 1987. The judges in the Nagoya suit said, "In an emergency situation where the fate of the nation is at stake, people just have to endure."

Regarding the 2007 suit:

"The plaintiffs also criticized the government for offering compensation only to military veterans and their relatives, saying that it violated constitutional principles of equality.

Eighty-year-old Mieko Toyomura, who lost four of her family in the raid and had her right arm severed in a subsequent bombing, urged the government to treat civilian victims equally.

"I've lived and worked desperately all these years with only one arm, and without getting any assistance. Tears keep falling when I look back on what happened at that time," Kyodo quoted Toyomura as saying.

"I want (the government) to treat people equally without discriminating between civilian war victims and soldiers."

Genocide from Biden's Democrats, Arabrein from Trump's Republicans. It's the Fourth Reich.

If the genre terms “post-punk,”“indie” “indie pop” “jangly guitar pop” are a listener’s personal favorites, the English band Television Personalities, originally formed in 1977, are considered a formative group. If not, well, allow us to introduce you to your favorite band’s favorite’s band favorite band. A new collection, “Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out: The Television Personalities Radio Sessions — 1980-1993” is a cheeky, ramshackle representation of their clever pop songs, led by frontman Dan Treacy’s undeniable schoolboy charms. Treasures abound. But our recommendation? Start with “Salvador Dali’s Garden Party,” as captured at the Andy Kershaw BBC session in Feb. 1986. Everybody was there!

Fantastic band. Sadly, it seems that Dan Treacy will never recover enough to make music again.

This would be comical if the US weren't currently funding neo-Nazis in Ukraine, genocidal Zionist child murderers in Israel and rebranded Al Qaeda medieval barbarians in Syria.

At least Trump is honest about what the US has been doing for the last 100 years or so.

Yaxley-Lennon has been funded by Yanqui Zionist billionaires for years. He's a Mossad agent. Musk seems to have lost the run of himself entirely. Iain Banks would be appalled.

Après moi, le déluge.

One's first thought on reading this headline was that Ron Wyden of Oregon and Dick Durbin of Illinois must be in the pockets of the genocidal entity.....and they are:

https://trackaipac.com/us-senate

Hundreds of Palestinian and Lebanese football players, team staff and officials have been murdered by Israel, but we've heard nothing from FIFA about this. Nothing. The genocidal entity has damaged or destroyed all 41 football pitches in Gaza and all sports facilities, yet we've heard nothing from the IOC either. Nothing.

Both organizations are tacitly supporting the genocide. It's an utter disgrace.

I hope both Japan and South Korea work equally hard on their diplomatic relations with China frankly, possibly together. If they are meeting the US President together, they most certainly should also meet with Xi Jinping in the same fashion. Trump will come and go, but the regional relationships between China, SK and Japan is millennial and should be carefully and maturely curated by statesmen who don't flinch at the meddling of Johnny-come-latelys.

These historical and cultural powerhouses of Asia need to better understand and value their mutual similarities, connections and social value on the world stage, and not be divided and fractured by the manipulation of others. I'd prefer to see these countries really push for regional unity and mutual value and respect, regardless of how other 'invested' parties may feel about that.

A splendid idea, especially considering the USA may well not exist in its current state 100 or 200 years hence, whereas China, Japan and Korea certainly will. However, independent foreign policy initiatives in North-east Asia are totally unacceptable in Washington, as the world saw in 2014 when the US government under Obama and Clinton effected a bloodless regime change in Tokyo, removing Hatoyama and Ozawa, who had had the gall to attempt just such an independent initiative.

It's well worth reading this excellent 2014 article by Karel Van Wolferen on just how that regime change was managed by Washington, the Japanese media and bureaucracy. The author also compares the violent US-backed overthrow of the Ukraine government to the "peaceful" removal of Hatoyama and Ozawa.

The final paragraph is especially prophetic:

"When we cheer NATO and its new initiatives for a rapid deployment force to be used potentially against the renewed enemy in Moscow, and when we cheer the supposedly great achievement of the European Union unanimously to endorse sanctions against that same new enemy, when we join the choir denouncing an imagined inherently aggressive China, we are encouraging a bunch of incompetent, politically immature zealots as they trigger chains of events whose likely dire consequences we could not possibly desire."

IDF soldiers disguised as football fans attack French supporters in the Stade de France last night:

"When I was doing a series for Fox Nation I did an interview while getting tattooed by the only tattoo artist in Bethlehem. I got Yehweh - Jesus in Hebrew. Also on my forearm I have a Benjamin Franklin, effectively, political cartoon from the 1760s. It's the Join or Die snake. I've got Deus Vult - God Wills It- which was the cry of the Crusaders, on my bicep. I have a big flag with the AR 15 I carried in Iraq on my bicep. On my shoulder I have my unit crest from Iraq. My entire pec is a Jerusalem cross. Christianity and my faith are things I care deeply about."

That's Trump's new Defence Secretary Pete Hesgeth, a man so unhinged he doesn't know that Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua. He's got the battle cry of the Crusaders on his arm; what is wrong with these people?

Miriam Adelson gave Trump $100m and she gets this parade of clowns and howling religious crackpots for it?

"In a recent profile in New York magazine, Adelson suggested that she might want Trump to push for the annexation of the occupied West Bank if he wins a second term — described in the piece as “unfinished Israel business from Trump’s presidency.”

These fundamentalist Christian Zionists are going to start WW3. Frightening:

https://x.com/mtracey/status/1856774955372818446

So as expected the Biden/Harris/Netanyahu genocide will become the Trump/Netanyahu genocide except with added fundamentalist Christian zealots on the Yanqui side.

Here's Huckabee with Shinzo Abe and notorious yakuza bagman Icchu Nagamoto in Tokyo in 2012. Birds of a feather.....

There are also reports on the BBC of Maccabi Haifa fans attacking taxis and burning Palestinian flags in Amsterdam.

It's all over X and other social media. The notorious Maccabi Tel Aviv far right thugs were singing racist songs (I won't print the words but they're disgusting), pulled down Palestinian flags then attacked a taxi and beat up the driver. In the Ajax stadium they chanted and let off fireworks during a minute's silence for the victims of the floods in Valencia. Then to claim they are the victims after locals decided to fight back is just the height of deranged victimhood. These people are the scum of the earth.

The US election result is proof that there are consequences in the real world for arming, funding, training and supporting a genocide.

Harris ran the worst campaign I've ever seen by any candidate from a major political party - it was just a copy paste of Clinton 2016, except with added genocide and Cheneys, themselves murderous barbarians. Harris and Biden should be the subject of a citizens arrest and taken in chains to the Hague to stand trial for crimes against humanity, alongside the Obamas, Clintons, Cheneys et al. Hopefully we will never hear from any of them again.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to send out Bill Clinton to tell Arab-Americans their relatives in Gaza deserved to die should be strapped to one of Musk's rockets and fired into the sun.

No fan of Trump or the disturbing people behind him so I won't be celebrating his win, but I'm certainly happy the grotesque Harris and the repulsive Democrats lost.

Concerns about not enough aid reaching Gaza were amplified Monday when Israeli lawmakers passed two laws to cut ties with the main U.N. agency distributing food, water and medicine, and to ban it from Israeli soil. Israel controls access to both Gaza and the occupied West Bank, and it was unclear how the agency known by the acronym UNRWA would continue its work in either place.

As the world recoils in disgust at the live streamed scenes of unspeakable horror on social media, the Israelis and their backers in Washington and London have decided to starve the Palestinians to death, and to murder any journalists attempting to report on it.

Hyperbole?

Not really.

"US authorizes CIA mercenaries to run biometric concentration camps in Gaza Strip

A private intelligence corporation billed as "Uber for war zones" is preparing to create what Israel hopes will be the model for supplanting Hamas rule in Gaza.

The Biden administration has approved the deployment of 1,000 CIA-trained private mercenaries as part of a joint U.S.-Israeli plan to turn Gaza’s apocalyptic rubblescape into a high-tech dystopia.

Starting with Al-Atatra, a village in the northwestern Gaza Strip, the plan calls to build what the Israeli daily Ynet calls “humanitarian bubbles” – turning the remains of villages and neighborhoods into tiny concentration camps cut off from their environs and surrounded and controlled by mercenaries.

This comes as Israel carries out daily massacres and ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza, enacting the proposal known as The Generals’ Plan, originally crafted by former national security chief Giora Eiland to turn Gaza into “a place where no human being can exist.”
