Israel lobby groups wasted no time in demanding Andy Burnham pull back from even his watery comments on Israel’s crimes in Gaza. Burnham refused last week to call the genocide a genocide. Instead, he said Labour “didn’t get right” its response. That would be Keir Starmer endorsing Israel’s crimes against humanity by cutting off fuel and water to the besieged open-air concentration camp. And ordering the RAF to provide active support for the slaughter of Palestinians — and almost certainly UK aid workers. And Burnham dared to suggest — after almost three years of slaughter, starvation, targeting of children, hospitals, schools,…

The Israel lobby has gone into yet another Mamdani-related meltdown. This time, though, the emphasis is on ‘related’. Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji dared to co-host a retreat in Corsica that honoured the Virgin Mary as “a Palestinian woman who gave birth under occupation”. The event also included prayers for Palestinian mothers giving birth and trying to protect their children during Israel’s genocide. Israel meltdown The Murdoch-owned New York Post claimed Duwaji dodged US Independence Day celebrations, liked posts praising resistance to occupation and created artwork that criticised Israel. It also attacked attendees for wearing keffiyeh scarves and raising funds for Palestinian…

The standards watchdog commissioner has received a request to investigate whether Nigel Farage lobbied the Bank of England on his billionaire sugar daddy’s behalf. Racist hatemonger Farage and his Reform party have bagged massive wads of money from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne, who lives in Thailand and has long backed the UK’s hard right. Farage in turn has acted like a crypto fanatic, promising a “crypto revolution”. But it’s Farage’s efforts at the Bank of England that have now attracted increasing scrutiny. Farage and the Bank of England ‘conversations’ As Keir Starmer has destroyed Labour and chased Reform votes, Farage and…

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…

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…

On 7 June, the i Paper revealed that Nigel Farage has personally taken over £83,000 in earnings and expenses from US anti-abortion groups. The news comes less than a week after Reform’s candidate for the Makerfield by-election, Robert Kenyon, faced a grilling on Question Time for his previous comment that: abortion is the cowardly act of women murdering a defenceless baby and that women do it so they can shag anyone they want. Farage, Reform, and the anti-abortion lobby The far-right party has previously claimed that it has no plans to alter UK abortion law. This is a lie. Even before the…

The Greens for Palestine group has issued a strong demand to its party functionaries: stop throwing our candidates under the bus to pander to the Israel lobby. The message comes after the Greens’ Makerfield by-election candidate stepped down – presumably pressured – for sharing a post about Golders Green. The group of party members wants to know – who is selecting Green candidates, party members or the Israel lobby, the Zionist Labour party and hostile press? Greens for Palestine call out cowardice dressed as pragmatism It reads: Yesterday, we witnessed yet another chilling example of the same press that has spent over…
