Episode #232: The War on Iran
The war on Iran launched a week ago by Israel and the United States is spiraling into a regional conflict with implications for the global economy. Hosts @adamtooze.bsky.social and Cameron Abadi discuss: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
119 UK Parliamentarians call for further sanctions on Israel and a total ban on all trade and interaction with illegal Israeli settlements in letter to @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social following yet further illegal Israeli government measures in the occupied State of Palestine. caabu.org/news/news/11...
The Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran is a reckless and criminal military gamble driven by their respective domestic political considerations.
Solidarity with civilians across the Middle East, many of whom living under regimes they oppose, who are paying the price for this reckless adventure.

Tweet from Dr. Sam Youssef: "BREAKING: Tucker Carlson: "Pornography websites are controlled by Israeli intelligence agencies."‼️"
"The Jews created pornography to undermine the family" is quite literally the fourteenth of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Not great to see left-wing accounts with 700,000 followers saying this sort of thing.

"Eighty-two years after his execution by the Gestapo on June 16, 1944, the Jewish historian and resistance fighter Marc Bloch will be inducted into the Pantheon on June 23... His family requested that 'the far right, in all its forms, be excluded from any participation in the ceremony.'"

Great piece
Excellent, clear thread. Grim but worth a read
2/2 This quote indicates why. Other parties’ scandals happen when members fall short of the party’s values. Reform’s happen when they enact its core values. Racism is the party’s very essence. Scapegoating & punishing certain segments of the population is the totality of its programme.
The powerful front page of the reformist newspaper Sazandegi features the names of 3,000 individuals who, according to government reports, were killed during the protests in Iran. #Iran #IranProtests2026
Idiotic right-wing propoganda: "London - before everything, it was one of the most beautiful, clean and safest places in Britain." In the AI image, a character in the foreground has his feet on the wrong way, facing backwards.
London in the good old days - before everyone's feet pointed forwards.
Mi-neged demo this Tuesday at UK FCDO at 4.30pm to draw international attention to state-backed settlers aiming to forcibly evict 87 Palestinian families (700 people) from their homes and threatening demolitions of a further 116 homes (affecting 1500 people) in the Palestinian neighbourhood Silwan

Refugees who were months away from settlement now face 15-year wait Shabana Mahmood's asylum reforms will apply retrospectively, it has been confirmed — and it is claimed the bureaucracy will cost up to £1.3bn Matt Dathan, Home Affairs Editor Monday November 24 2025, 12.01am, The Times Thousands of refugees who believed they were months from settlement now face 15 years of instability after it was confirmed that Shabana Mahmood's overhaul of asylum rules would apply retrospectively.
Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation"
As opposed to doing what with their children??
The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.
Yes!
Following the documented rape of a Palestinian prisoner in Sde Teyman, the military prosecutor ordered the arrest of the soldiers involved.
There was govt-supported riots trying to prevent their arrest. In response, she leaked the video evidence.
Now she has been removed by the Israeli govt.
