The world can now watch an array of documentaries for free as Israel’s arrogance and violence – and the collusion of the UK and other western govts backfire

In response to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its illegal chemical weapons assault on and seizure of the Madleen Gaza Freedom Flotilla humanitarian vessel and its crew in the early hours of this morning, the current events in Palestine, dozens of filmmakers have made their films about Palestine available online for everyone to watch, free of charge. Israel’s attempt to prevent the Madleen from reaching Gaza and raising awareness of Israel’s genocide, starvation blockaded and other crimes has quickly backfired.

A list of the films and links to them

Keir Starmer remains silent, despite the Madleen being registered as a UK vessel, which obliges the UK to protect it under international law – and bans Israel from any attack on it unless it is engaged in piracy, which it self-evidently is not:

Vessels are free to navigate the High Seas within the laws of their Flag State, and only a warship of their own nation has the right to intercept them unless they are committing an international crime such as piracy.

However, a Downing Street spokesperson has just put out the following, weasel-worded statement that does nothing to intervene and comes days too late:

The government wants Israel to resolve the situation around the ship heading for Gaza safely, with restraint, in line with international law.

Israel has already breached international law. Starmer is useless for the UK and the world and collaborating with a hostile, terrorist state again.

    1. Yeah they might well do.These shenanigans with the 3 Ukrainian ‘male models’ alleged to have fire bombed Sir Keirs former properties and car also adds fuel to the fire. Trial not on until April 2026. You what? Yeah apparently the police say the offences are for terrorist offences. Why the delay? If it is terrorist related surely they’d be up in court sooner? Only asking.

    2. It’s certainly a bizarre situation where an attack or boarding of a ship in the Red Sea is actually treated as an act of piracy that requires the Royal Navy to intervene. ands to escort British-flagged ships so that they are not boarded, and have a force out near the Horn of Africa to stop the locals boarding ships and holding them to ransom, BUT … a British flagged peaceful boat in international waters with threats against it being publicised in the world’s media, and forecast within a 24-hour timescale to be “dealt with” and an obvious act of piracy, sees our verbose politicians losing use of their tongues and our much vaunted Royal Navy looking the other way. Something smacks of personal interest in not upholding British interests.

  2. The man is utterly hopeless, clearly out of his depth even on his much-bragged-about legal qualifications.
