Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"

Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

There's only 2 countries in the world with illegal unchecked Nuclear Weapons.

North Korea and Israel.

One of these countries has attacked 9 countries in the last 2 years and is committing a genocide.

It isn't North Korea.

You're gonna need to sit down for this one, but the side that bombed every school in Gaza, and denied bombing the girl's school in Iran (blaming a misfired Iranian missile), has now admitted it did bomb the girls' school after all. Astonishingly, the cover story was a lie.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

The US Soldiers Killed In This War Were Not Heroes, And Other Notes Reading by Tim Foley:

The US Soldiers Killed In This War Were Not Heroes

They did not die defending their country. They did not die fighting to protect Americans.They died advancing the geostrategic agendas of oligarchs and empire managers which benefit ordinary Americans in no way.

Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo.

The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.

I am concerned to see the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, and that the UK has allowed the US to use its bases for strikes on Iran. No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a mistake.

All the Oil and Gas you buy is purchased 4 weeks in advance.

Any price increases now are your suppliers ripping you off.

Because you know when prices go down, they won't go down 4 weeks after.

It will be delayed months and months and months.

Gonna set fire to my neighbour's house because he is gonna set fire to my house. I have no evidence that he is gonna set fire to my house, but I'm doing a pre-emptive strike. BRB. If my neighbour retaliates, you must kill him for me. This is how self-defence works β™₯️

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?

Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.

The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

UK getting sucked into illegal US war.

No UN mandate for regime change. The powerful running amok.

There will be turmoil for generations. And Trump wants Nobel Peace Prize.

The people who spent two years levelling Gaza would like you to know Iran is violating international law In a masterclass of humanitarian restraint that has now stretched into its third glorious year, Israel has continued to show the world how deeply it respects international law.

Horrifyingly, Iranian missiles and drones are deleting US assets across the Gulf faster than Pam Bondi can delete the Epstein files.

Keir Starmer has said that the US can use British military bases for 'defensive actions', which includes bombing Iran. One of those bases is RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.

Starmer has taken us to war and made us all targets.
