Israel: UK media and politicians ignore ‘From river to sea’ from Netanyahu

The UK’s politico-media class loves a bit of pearl-clutching over the phrase “from the river to the sea”. It’s treated as ‘hate’ and a ‘call for the destruction of Israel’. Except when it comes from the Israeli regime, of course. Then it’s fine and dandy. ‘Nothing to see here, move along’… So with Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest, it’s far from the first time he and other colonisers have used it, but as shameless as could be. I’m guessing this version of “from the river to the sea” will get zero media attention. https://t.co/It7Iz95eNt — Assal Rad (@AssalRad) June 29, 2026 Israel’s chants…

Human rights lawyer detained at Liverpool airport for opposing genocide

UK ‘counter-terror’ police have detained distinguished US human rights professor and international law expert, Dan Kovalik, at Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport. Kovalik, a well-known author and activist, said on X that he had been grilled about his opposition to Israel’s Gaza genocide and to the illegal war on Iran. In the height of irony, I was detained at John Lennon International AirPort in Liverpool, England by anti-terrorism police concerned about my opposition to the Genocide on Gaza and the war on Iran. They seized my phone, computer, fingerprints and DNA sample. More to come . . . pic.twitter.com/WOtXQLjjO2 — Dan Kovalik…

‘Committee to Protect Journalists’ redefines ‘journalist’ to exclude murdered Palestinians

The so-called ‘Committee to Protect Journalists’ (CPJ) has betrayed Palestinian journalists. The CPJ has re-defined its criteria for who is a journalist to exclude the hundreds of Palestinian journalists Israel has murdered – often along with their families. Israel has killed more reporters in Gaza than died in the First and Second World Wars and all the wars since then combined. The CPJ had already scrapped its ‘Global Impunity Database’ when Israel was going to be announced as the biggest threat to the freedom of the press. It then announced a ‘review’ of its database of Palestinian media personnel murdered in Gaza.…

Unite nominations close sees Simon Dubbins win ‘core Graham’ sectors

Unite leadership challenger Simon Dubbins – the only candidate to consistently oppose Israel’s genocide, UK warmongering, and the union’s withdrawal as a political force – has secured more than enough branch nominations to stand against incumbent Sharon Graham. Not just enough nominations, but nominations in many of the sectors Graham’s supporters would have considered her core support. Graham has outraged Unite members and activists with her support for the arms industry and her opposition to anti-genocide protests. Unite’s war on its workforce, apparently to protect Graham’s husband Jack Clarke, has also disgusted many. Clarke was promoted – outside the union’s usual…

ICC’s Karim Khan: Israel threatened my family for pursuing warrants

International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan has said that Israel threatened his wife and children if he persisted in pursuing warrants for its genocidal leaders. Speaking to AlArabiya English, Khan also said that a 5,000-page report by the UN’s Office of Internal Oversight Services had cleared him of all wrongdoing. Moreover, the ICC’s ‘Bureau’ – the ICC’s main oversight body – appointed three judges to digest the report. The judges confirmed on 21 March 2026 that there was not a single piece of evidence suggesting any misconduct by Khan. Despite the comprehensive findings, Khan has again been suspended by…

EXCLUSIVE: hard-right Jewish Chronicle targeting Mothin Ali, anti-Zionist Jew Tony Greenstein

Notorious hard-right libel-factory the Jewish Chronicle is preparing an attack on Green Party deputy leader Mothin Ali – and well-known Jewish anti-Zionist Tony Greenstein. The article had not yet been published at the time of writing. The rag got itself into a crisis in 2024 after being caught out publishing made-up Israel articles during the Gaza genocide. Before that, it paid out huge sums of cash to a string of left-wingers for blatant libels, mostly penned by ‘doge of phone-hacking’ Lee Harpin. Harpin has now moved on, but the paper hasn’t improved. So its ‘political editor’ wrote to Greenstein asking for…

‘Destroy Gaza including kidnapped soldiers’ – leaked clip again proves Israel’s Hannibal Directive

A leaked recording of senior Israeli military officers – and fascist ‘security minister’ Itamar Ben-Gvir – has again proven that Israel ordered the killing of its own people on 7 October 2023. This is the so-called Hannibal Directive. The short clip was released with English subtitles at the weekend by independent journalist @ireallyhateyou, but first aired on Israel’s Channel 12 in February 2026. It shows Israel’s police command centre as it responded to the unfolding Palestinian raid across the border into southern Israel. S/he said of the clip: In the first hours of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, while conversing with Israel’s Police…

ICC judges sue Trump, administration in NYC over punitive sanctions

Three International Criminal Court (ICC) judges are suing Donald Trump and his administration in New York. The legal action concerns the Trump regime’s punitive sanctions against ICC figures for issuing arrest warrants for wanted Israeli war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Yo’av Gallant. The judges say that the sanctions are an attempt to bypass the judicial process by punishing and coercing ICC judges: The Sanctions Regime … is designed to exert extra-judicial pressure on these judges and their colleagues on the ICC bench by targeting their financial and other personal interests, with the objective of punishing them for prior judicial decisions and…

Israeli media dismiss UN child-slaughter report by complaining U18s included

Newspapers in Israel have reacted to the United Nations report condemning Israel’s deliberate mass slaughter of Palestinian children by trying to dismiss it. Dismiss it by complaining that it: defin[es] a child as “under-18.” Israel rejects the findings and calls the report biased and defamatory. Israel — “What a f***ing child is” The disgusting weasel excuse, so typical of the zionist lobby, met with the derision it deserves. Like this post, which itself went viral: yes, they do, because that is what a fucking child is. do you people even hear yourselves https://t.co/BjNl0oUWLt pic.twitter.com/eZQM3rEniK — enter shakira𓅮 (@BARFJAMiN) June 25, 2026…

Billionaire Camden Market owner funds Israel’s genocidal military

Teddy Sagi, the billionaire owner of London’s Camden Market and of online competitions, finances Israel’s genocidal military according to a new report. Forbes estimates that Sagi’s net worth is over £7bn. Sagi’s funnelling of cash toward the colony means that the hundreds of thousands of Britons who buy prize tickets from Winvia Entertainment Group’s subsidiary brands are directly benefiting the IOF. Sagi also owns betting software firm Playtech, UK-Israeli Kape Technologies and VPN companies ExpressVPN, Cyberghost and others. His donations of hundreds of thousands of pounds at a time to Israel’s military have continued throughout Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Donations include…

Polanski says Burnham must dump Israel, and recognise genocide, for Greens’ help

Green party leader Zack Polanski has given presumptive new Labour leader and PM Andy Burnham an ultimatum over Israel. Polanski, Britain’s only Jewish party leader, has said that Burnham must dump Israel and recognise the Gaza genocide — anything less is a red line. In remarks after a university speech, the Green party leader said that Burnham’s apparent multiple personalities over key issues was a problem. Some versions would be a natural partner for the Greens, while others would be impossible — and the early signs are worsening: We genuinely don’t know which version of Andy Burnham turns up. I can see…

BMA votes against use of discredited ‘IHRA’ antisemitism definition

The British Medical Association (BMA) conference has voted overwhelmingly in support of a motion against the NHS’s use of the so-called ‘IHRA definition’ of antisemitism (IHRA). The motion also called for the BMA — the medical doctors’ union — to provide urgent support and training to doctors targeted by the Israel lobby which, shamefully, includes the General Medical Council (GMC). The IHRA is widely used to suppress free speech on Israel and has been rejected by legal experts and even by the man who wrote it. It continues, unsurprisingly, to be pushed by Israel lobby groups and Israel-allied politicians. The BMA’s…

Blackburn Muslim family’s home firebombed. MSM, politicians silent

At 1.30am on Tuesday 16 June, two white supremacists approached the home of a Blackburn Muslim family, torched their car and filmed it. The attack was — at least — the third Islamophobic arson attack in June 2026. According to local firefighters, the family escaped was “seconds away from fatality”. White racists committed at least one other arson attack in the town in May. Apart from local press, UK mainstream media all but ignored the attacks. So did the government. A few days later, a white-supremacist thug knifed five people in Edinburgh, screaming Islamophobic hate as he was arrested. That attack…

Scousers gather Friday against workplace sexual harassment

Workers, trade unionists and campaigners against sexual harassment at work will gather tomorrow, 26 June 2026, at the offices of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in Bootle. Liverpool legend Audrey White is famous for giving a frozen Keir Starmer a substantial piece of her mind in a Liverpool restaurant. But she is also the subject of the film Business as Usual, in which she was portrayed by Oscar-winner Glenda Jackson in her fight against sexual harassment and discrimination. She told Skwawkbox: I fought sexual harassment against my staff in Lady at Lord John fashion store in the 80’s. I was sacked. Even then,…

£55k and a hamster — Ofcom threats to US firm trigger hilarious responses

The UK’s ‘Online Safety Act‘ (OSA) is widely recognised to be more about keeping UK people from finding out things the UK government wants to keep from them, than any idea of actual online safety. Just like Keir Starmer’s new social media ban on under-16s. That will make kids less safe — but might make it harder for them to learn about Israel’s horrific crimes (if they’re technologically inept). But the overreach of the UK government and its ‘independent’ regulator, ofcom, thinking they can control what organisations in other countries do has led to some unintentional hilarity. £55k and a hamster…

‘Pro-Israel MPs tried to shut down Israel lobby debate’ – MEND

British Muslim group MEND (Muslim Engagement and Development) has dissected the attempts of pro-Israel MPs to shut down a debate on Israel’s influence in UK politics. The sick farce is the latest instalment in the Starmer regime’s cover-up of Israel’s interference. The government commissioned a report into foreign political interference without mentioning Israel at all. The report, unsurprisingly, made zero references to Israel, whose lobby funds a majority of government ministers. Israel lobby shut down debate The debate took place because it was demanded by well over 100,000 people. Yet the attempts to shut it down were as shameless as the…

Senior Graham ally deletes ‘blackface’ Facebook post

Scot Walker, a senior and close ally of Unite general secretary Sharon Graham, has deleted an image of himself wearing a beard-and-dreads mask. Walker had posted the image to his Facebook feed, triggering a storm of outrage at the ‘blackface’ get-up: Walker runs Unite’s so-called ‘Workers’ Economy‘, which union insiders have said Graham created to circumvent Unite’s Community section for unwaged members. Unite Community was set up by her predecessor Len McCluskey, whom Graham has long attacked with what McCluskey called “pages of smears and innuendo”. Union members and staff said that Graham planned to shut down Community if she wins…

Jewish group condemns limp reaction to Muslim stabbing attack

The Jewish Voice for Liberation (JVL) group has issued a statement of solidarity with British Muslims after the white hate knife attack on Muslims in Edinburgh. At the same time, it has condemned the gross disparity in the mealy-mouthed reaction of the British political and media establishment to the attack. In contrast, this reaction differs from the recent attack on two Jewish men. Furthermore, the reaction also differs from the reaction to an almost-unmentioned Muslim man. JVL statement No ‘COBRA’ meeting, no ministerial visits, no special policing arrangements or funding. JVL concludes that the government and media value Muslim lives far…

Diane Abbott nails nonsense attempts to turd-polish Starmer

Hackney North’s Diane Abbott — Britain’s first Black woman MP — has dismantled attempts by Starmer’s political and media allies to mythologise the record of Keir Starmer. Starmer, the most hated PM in modern British political history, announced his resignation yesterday, 22 June 2026. Starmer packed the resignation with lies, justifying himself and whitewashing his awful record. He claimed that he had rescued Labour from bankruptcy and purged it of antisemitism. He claimed he had done everything “for the country he loves most”; he didn’t say that was the UK. triggered a flood of disinformation as his allies tried to shore…

UK government steeped in Palestinian blood: Gaza Tribunal publishes new book

The Gaza Tribunal, established by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and others to examine UK collusion in Israel’s genocide, is publishing a book of its findings. Its findings are unequivocal: Rishi Sunak’s Tories and, especially, the Starmer regime are steeped in blood, guilt and collaboration. One of the greatest crimes of our age As publisher Pluto Press notes: the true scale of Britain’s complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our age. This groundbreaking inquiry brings together original testimony from Palestinian survivors, journalists, human rights campaigners, international legal experts and whistleblowers, to evidence both the human reality of the genocide,…
