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…

Palestine activist jailed as ‘terrorist’ speaks out

“Other than hexing the man, I really wasn’t surprised”. This is how Leona Kamio, known as Ellie, describes what was going through her mind when a judge announced she would be sentenced as a terrorist alongside three co-defendants earlier this month. Kamio, a 30-year-old nursery teacher, had been convicted of criminal damage in connection with a Palestine Action raid on an Israeli arms firm in Filton, Bristol, in August 2024. The jury that tried her had not been informed that any convictions could later carry a “terrorism connection”, she tells Declassified from Bronzefield prison in her first interview since being convicted.…

‘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…

US Democratic primaries oust warmongers as Mamdani criticises Israel lobby

Democratic primary results on 23 June saw victories for Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Avila Chevalier; Zohran Mamdani endorsed all of them in the New York City Democratic primaries. And, he made a point of criticising those in the race who took money from American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).  Dan Goldman was defeated by Lander. Goldman, an heir to the Levi Strauss denim fortune, was endorsed by AIPAC. Palestine has become a litmus test in Democratic primaries, Rania Khalek, a Lebanese-American journalist, said, as Democratic voters punished incumbents who took money from AIPAC Palestine has become a litmus test in…

UN inquiry: Israel deliberately targeting Palestinian children in genocide, war crimes

Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank, an independent UN inquiry said in a new report released today. The report found that Israel has targeted Palestinian children in Gaza in two distinct ways: directly by shooting at their vital organs using precision weapons such as quadcopters and snipers; and through the use of high-impact weapons, causing widespread and systematic attacks on residential buildings, schools, and displacement camps crowded with children. It also found that killing continued even after the October…

Palestine Action lawyer faces renewed contempt proceedings

Judge rules to refer Rajiv Menon KC once again over his closing speech in trial of pro-Palestine activists A leading British civil rights barrister faces contempt proceedings once again after a judge decided to refer allegations against him for a second time. The original proceedings brought against Rajiv Menon KC were thrown out last month for procedural reasons.But on 22 June, Mr Justice Johnson ruled that Menon’s case met the necessary “threshold conditions” to proceed and that it was in the public interest to do so. He said the case should be referred to a judge who can “deal with the…

Israel is targeting Palestinian education, even in its prisons

The Palestinian National Prisoner Movement has had a long and proud history. Decades of struggle inside the walls of Israel’s jails and detention centres have seen important advances in basic rights for those incarcerated, including in education. Israel’s tally of abuses against detainees But since the start of the genocide in Gaza, Israeli occupation authorities have reversed and cancelled these gains. Prisoners have been stripped of all their rights by the occupation. Instead, they are systematically humiliated, abused, and tortured. Students of all ages are being arrested and imprisoned by Israeli occupation forces (IOF). These detainees must not only cope with…

Israel collapses Iran-US deal, Swiss meeting cancelled

Israel has succeeded — at least for now — in its openly-admitted aim of collapsing peace talks between the US and Iran. Iranian negotiators said they would not attend talks in Geneva after Israel murdered dozens of people in airstrikes in Lebanon — so US vice-president JD Vance has also cancelled. According to Israeli claims, the occupation was retaliating for the destruction of an IOF tank which was busy invading southern Lebanon and the killing of its crew. If the Israelis don’t want their tanks destroyed, they should maybe pull them out of Lebanon. Israel — Gaslighting In a typical gaslighting…

Renowned journalist Guy Smallman is on the ground in Southern Lebanon for the Canary. Here is his first daily report. To understand the flare-up today, Friday 19 June, between the IDF and Hezbollah’s resistance fighters, it is first necessary to take a look at the location in Lebanon. Lebanon: Friday, 19 June The Ali al-Taher ridge in Lebanon is home to a complex system of tunnels which form the backbone of local infrastructure for Hezbollah’s elite Radwan brigade.

“Cynical act of deception” by Irish football bosses claiming Palestinian support for ‘Israel’ match

In a devastating humiliation for the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), the Palestine Football Association (PFA) has said it never issued any statement backing the FAI’s decision to proceed with Ireland’s match against so-called ‘Israel’. This is despite the Irish football chiefs putting out a statement last week clearly intended to indicate the opposite. Sinn Féin TD Joanna Byrne described the FAI’s move as an “unforgivable cynical act of deception”. Byrne continued: What this clarification lays bare is a contemptible sleight of hand by the FAI – a sleight of hand that will be met by resistance by the football community…

‘10,589 percent rise’: UK purchases of Israel arms spiked massively during genocide

The UK bought massive amounts of Israel’s military gear between 2023 and 2025 — the most intense years of the genocide. UN figures show a spike of 10,589 percent in Israeli imports with the British police and military being major recipients. Israel has been found, by the UN, to have committed genocide against Palestinians. Declassified UK reported: Figures from the UN Comtrade database show that UK imports from Israel of arms, ammunition and related parts increased from just £55,000 in 2023 to almost £5.9 million in 2025. That is equivalent to around a 10,589 percent rise during two years in which…

Jury refuses to convict Palestine activists over arms firm raid

Hung jury in case of four protesters who raided Wolverhampton arms factory said to produce “military aircraft parts for Israel” After more than 17 hours of deliberation, a jury at Birmingham crown court has failed to reach a verdict over whether four pro-Palestine activists committed criminal damage at an arms factory. Iain Evans, Hana-Yun Stevens, Frank Sherman, and Hisham Alkhamezi were each accused of criminal damage at a factory owned by Moog, a US aerospace firm, in Wolverhampton. During the trial, the jury saw footage from helicopters and CCTV cameras which showed the defendants crashing through the site’s front gate and…

Israel has set up cranes in Gaza as platforms to murder civilians

According to eyewitness reports in Gaza City, the Israeli occupation military has set up cranes around the city, each 100 feet tall. The IOF is using these as platforms to slaughter civilians. In tents, in cafes, in what remains of shelters. Gaza journalist Tamer Nahed posted his description to his X account: A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it. Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns…

Trump’s deluded ambassador says US wouldn’t exist without Israel

Deluded worldviews are everywhere in the Trump regime – they’re a requirement to be part of it. Few come more twisted than white nationalist and fanatical Zionist US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. So twisted that Huckabee thinks Israel has a ‘right’ to take the whole of west Asia. But Huckabee even – and completely ahistorically – thinks the US wouldn’t exist at all if it wasn’t for Israel: https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Huckabee-Exist-Subbed-hb.mp4 Back to front Just for the record – and for Trump himself – the US has existed as an independent nation for well over 200 years.

Iran foreign minister Araghchi says no truce unless Israel leaves Lebanon

Iran foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has responded to Israel’s attempts to reject Donald Trump’s supposed ceasefire ‘memorandum of understanding‘ with Iran. Araghchi warned Israel – and Trump – that there is no prospect of any agreement to end the illegal US-Israel war unless Israel gets out of Lebanon completely: The end of the war will not be complete without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied in Lebanon. Any military attack by Israel on Lebanon and the continued occupation of Lebanese territories from now on, in our opinion, is a violation of the MoU. https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Araghchi-Lebanon-Subbed-hb.mp4 Araghchi continues to…

The UK government has referred the Great Israeli Real Estate event to the Advertising Standards Authorities (ASA) as it has emerged that properties for sale in illegal Israeli settlements were promoted at the show. Organisers had said last week that all exhibitors at the event would provide information only about properties for sale within the Green Line – the internationally recognised border between Israel and Palestine.  But on Monday, Declassified revealed that brochures circulated at the event advertised developments in at least seven illegal settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Declassified now understands that on Sunday, the day the…
