Israel has slaughtered at least eight children and badly wounded many others, as well as adult victims both killed and wounded, in an attack on a Gaza clinic in central Gaza:
Silence from the Starmer regime as it continues to persecute and harass those who protest against the slaughter to protect Israel from the consequences of its endless, hideous crimes.

EVERY day that passes, the Israelis become more hated the world over. You can’t deliberately starve, children, bomb their schools and hospitals and believe that people should have one iota of respect for you, unless you are utterly without shame. Just remember how you Israelis used to “dine out” on how badly you had been treated by Nazis, (and still do 80+ years later). The same fate awaits you for the next 85 years at least …. or beyond 2110. That’s some legacy you’re leaving your children for the entirety of their lives, as well as THEIR children and grandchildren.
I agree absolutely. Except for one important point. “Israelis” are not equivalent to “Jews”. There are many Jews throughout the world who are utterly appalled and disgusted at the actions of the Israeli government and its genocide of the Palestinian people. There is always a big ‘Jewish Block’ on every demonstration I have attended in London (and I have attended almost every one since October 2023). They come from a wide spectrum of British Jewry; religious people, including Orthodox Jews, and secular Jews; men and women; and people of all ages, including Holocaust survivors and their descendants. They are a very important part of the anti-genocide movement, and their continuing presence demonstrates that it is a complete and utter lie to say that we are engaged in anti-semitic hate marches.
But what IS anti-semitic is to see every Jew as an “Israeli” or even worse, a Zionist. Many Zionists are not Jewish. We have to be aware of this or we will fall victim to the Zionists propaganda that we march because we hate Jews. Nothing could be further from the truth.
SC great points. The Jewish community is wonderfully diverse and they are NOT homogenous.
Some are Left Wing, Right Wing, Liberal & Centrist & Non Political, and some are Zionists & Anti Zionists plus a significant number March alongside us but funnily enough this is hardly reported in the mainstream media and mainly only on our social media.
We need to keep repeating this like a broken record.
And on our marches we have diverse humanity for Palestine.
I’m sure you must have noted I stated “Israelis” NOT “Jews.” I didn’t confuse or conflate the two.
Just read that at least two pro Palestinian organisations – Greater Manchester Friends for Palestine and Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign – have had their bank accounts ‘frozen’ by Virgin Money and Unity Trust banks without any reason for the action being given. (The latter describing itself as “the bank of choice for all socially minded organisations….)
No wonder everyone is ‘encouraged’ to stop using cash. Perhaps we should all invest in one of those lockable tin boxes to keep under the bed… But seriously, how can this even be legal?

To quote Oscar Wilde, “no good deed goes unpunished”.
There is nothing to see on this video. Who is responsible for the censorship? Not Skwawkbox, I hope. But if not, who? Who is stopping us seeing evidence of atrocity, of genocide? Whose interests are served by this censorship?
Don’t bother to answer. I think we are all aware of exactly who benefits, and it is not the people of Palestine.
In a Guardian editorial on July 3rd regarding the Starmerfurher’s intention to proscibe Palestine Action, they pointed out the following right at the start:
When the Labour government introduced anti-terrorism legislation 25 years ago, it stressed that it was targeting extreme crimes. “Terrorism involves the threat or use of serious violence for political, religious or ideological ends. It … aims to create a climate of extreme fear,” said Jack Straw, the then home secretary.
Some MPs still feared that a group like Greenpeace, which had destroyed genetically modified crops and temporarily halted nuclear weapons production at Aldermaston, might be proscribed. Mr Straw reassured them that such bans would be used only when absolutely necessary; he knew of “no evidence whatever” that the actions of the environmental group “would fall remotely under [its] scope”.

Hmm, how times change.
Another thing I’ve kept meaning to mention is that it was being claimed at the time – and in the weeks leading up to the proscription referred to time and time again by the MSM – that it would cost £millions to clean up the two military planes sprayed with red paint. I didn’t initially take in who’d made this claim, but then happened to read an article in which the police were quoted as saying it. Needless to say, there is no way on this planet that it would cost millions, and it was obviously a falsehood and a figure concocted and contrived to warrant and justify proscribing the group – ie to get public opinion on side.
Now I have no idea what sort of paint was used, but assuming it wasn’t water-colour paint – which could of course be washed off with a hosepipe/water and, as such, would cost next to nothing and probably take about fifteen minutes or so to do – at the very most it might cost a few thousand and take a day or two to do. In a BBC News article I just this minute found posted on June 20th it says the following:
Palestine Action said the activists evaded security and claimed they had put the air-to-air refuelling tankers “out of service”.
However, RAF engineers are assessing the damage and a defence source told the BBC they did not expect the incident to affect operations.
And then there was all the totally OTT national security bollox…. the following from the same BBC News article:
Lord West, Labour minister for UK security and former head of the Royal Navy, said earlier that while he was not aware of the full details, the break-in was “extremely worrying”.
“We can’t allow thing[s] like this to happen at all,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, adding that breaches like it were “really a problem” for national security.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the security breach was “deeply concerning”.
“This is not lawful protest, it is politically motivated criminality,” she said in a statement.
“We must stop tolerating terrorist or extremist groups that seek to undermine our society.”
Undermine our society ffs! It reminds me of the Family Guy episode in which Lois is campaigning to be elected mayor and in a public debate isn’t going down too well with the audience, and then Brian advises her to keep her answers short and sweet – ie platitudes that stir the audience….
Here’s the bit from Family Guy:
As the temperature at the “paint end” of the jet engine can be close to 2,000C I don’t think the residue will be in the back of the engine pod for long!
