The US has recommenced its bombing of Iran — less than a week after Trump’s ‘justice’ department (DOJ) blocked a court-ordered release of further Epstein files. Epstein revelations, or Trump’s attempts to avoid them, have been so synchronised with the US-Israel war on Iran that it has been dubbed “Operation Epstein Distraction”. The attacks breach the US’s commitments under its ‘Memorandum of Understanding‘ with Iran. US protecting the guilty A US judge had ordered the Trump regime to release files no later than 2 July, along with the identities and email addresses of individuals the DOJ had unlawfully redacted. Under legislation…

Former Tory minister Claire Coutinho — seen delighting in Badenoch’s shameful performance in the Commons on 24 June — appears to be on roll when it comes to demeaning and bullying people she deems ‘lesser’ than, including Muslims. Speaking in the Commons, she had the audacity to call on the government to scrap the existing definition of Islamophobia, which refers to anti-Muslim hostility. This comes at a time when anti-Muslim hate, coupled with violence and threats to life, are on the rise against British muslims. That hate has been taken out on anyone with Brown skin, highlighting racism as the real…

Islamophobia — The UK’s hierarchy of racism was clearly on display after the terror attacks in Edinburgh on 19 June, as an analysis of news coverage has shown. The Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) has previously called out the amount of anti-Muslim propaganda in the British media. And having now compared coverage of the Edinburgh attacks with coverage of the 29 April Golders Green attacks, it has found that the media is also underplaying terror attacks that target Muslims. Islamophobia — The UK’s racist media establishment The hierarchy of racism in the UK is particularly obvious on the right of the…

The town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, has long suffered from settler attacks. And since 7 October 2023, these have been occurring on a weekly or sometimes even daily basis. Settlers attempt to burn Palestinian worshippers alive at the mosque Around 8pm on 14 June, a group of around 40 to 50 illegal settlers set fires in several areas of Deir Dibwan. When they entered the Al-Marah area, near the western entrance, they set alight residents’ vehicles. Flames engulfed parked cars and spread to nearby roadside areas, and across large areas of agricultural land. Two…

Lebanese PM Nawwaf Salam has condemned Iran for Israel’s war of aggression in southern Lebanon, in a deranged interview with the Murdoch Times. Nawaaf claimed that Tehran rejected a supposed ‘ceasefire’ ‘deal’ in Israel’s invasion of Lebanon because: Tehran wanted to say Lebanon is a card in our pocket, that ‘we decide on Lebanon’s behalf … we are the decision-makers’. The one-sided ‘deal‘ involved Israel being free — its usual modus operandi — to continue attacking and seizing territory in southern Lebanon. By contrast, resistance group Hezbollah would have to cease all operations, lay down its arms and leave the territory, giving…

Torcuil Crichton MP, the Labour MP for the Western Isles, has hit back at campaigners opposing the annual guga hunt. He accused protesters of “attention-seeking behaviour” and “virtue-signalling”. In response, campaigners accused Crichton of “dismissive and belittling rhetoric”, saying he’s: lost sight of the views of his constituents. The spat comes as Scotland’s nature agency received a licence application for the guga hunt this year. The 10 man hunting team based in Ness, Isle of Lewis is seeking NatureScot’s permission to kill gannet chicks on the island of Sula Sgeir. The birds, still too young to fly, are removed from their…
