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…

The Jewish National Fund is trying to displace another Palestinian family from Silwan

The Shaludi family are the target of one of the latest disputes in a campaign of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement, carried out by the Israeli occupation in Silwan, East Jerusalem. They have lived in their home in the Wadi Hilweh neighbourhood since 1964, but attempts are now being made to forcibly displace them. And the Jewish National Fund (JNF) are at the centre of these actions.

Israel was behind 25% of the world’s violations against children in 2025

Save the Children has responded to a new UN report by highlighting that Israel was responsible for at least one in four of the world’s violations against children in 2025. And it stressed that, because only a minority of violations receive verification: these figures are just the tip of the iceberg With this in mind, the charity called on the UK government to: end its complicity and suspend all arms sales to Israel, suspend the UK-Israel trade and partnership agreement, and hold all perpetrators of grave violations to account. The UN's latest Children and Armed Conflict report has found Israeli forces…

The human cost of IOF aggression in Sidon

Lebanon — After seventy-two hours of continuous ceasefire, the southern port city of Sidon was looking completely transformed on Tuesday (23 June). Shops were open and the trademark traffic jams were being exacerbated by the continuous flow of vehicles — returning refugees further south. While no one here trusts the Israelis to abide by agreements, there was a cautious optimism as the dynamic had dramatically changed since previous accords signed in 2024. That truce had been violated by the IDF on over fifteen thousand separate occasions — ranging from minor acts, like incursions into Lebanese airspace by drones and jets, to…

Heatwave: Greens call for emergency meeting of EU leaders

Amid a record-breaking heatwave across the continent, European environment ministers met in Luxembourg on 25 June. The European Green Party is calling on the ministers to prepare an emergency meeting of EU government leaders to urgently strengthen Europe’s climate protections and the Green Deal. Ciarán Cuffe, co-chair of the European Green Party, said: This heatwave is rapidly turning into a major European public health crisis. The World Health Organization stated already earlier this month that over the last four years, more than 200,000 people in Europe have died due to extreme heat. Europe faces a clear choice: to weaken or strengthen…

Exclusive: Unite tells Community members ‘cancel fuel poverty protest with Greenpeace’

Unite Community (UC), set up by then-general secretary Len McCluskey, is the Unite union’s section for unwaged people — and Unite’s most politically active. But members and officials feel marginalised by new general secretary Sharon Graham. They resent the union’s interference in their political activities, and have now been told they can’t participate in a climate protest. Probably because of who created it, and its campaigning focus, ‘workplace-only’ Graham was planning to wind down Unite Community and merge it with the retired members’ section. Graham U-turned on the plan after Skwawkbox exposed it — but the interference continues. Graham is currently…

Campaigners react to damning report on Nottingham maternity care failures

Charities and campaigning organisations have reacted with sadness and a damning lack of surprise to the findings of the Ockenden Report, which detailed extensive failings in maternity and neonatal care under Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust. The review’s leader, independent senior midwife Donna Ockenden, included a detailed 18-point framework of ‘Immediate and Essential Actions’ for improvement, both nationally and in Nottingham. A single overarching principle — ‘Martha’s Rule’ — underpinned every recommendation. NHS England explained that: Martha’s Rule is a patient safety initiative to support the early detection of deterioration by ensuring the concerns of patients, families, carers and staff…

The Left Needs to Stop Running From the Past

Before Burnham won the Makerfield by-election, he condemned “40 years of neoliberalism.” Blair retorted: “Back to the 70s?” Many voters cried out: “yes please!” And while people are still making their minds up about Andy Burnham, the truth is many people are disillusioned with the present and are reminiscing on the past as a better time, but a fear of sounding conservative is what keeps the left from channeling that energy. In Makerfield, a new party called Restore Britain outpolled the Conservatives on exactly the logic Blair mocks: that something was taken from us, the proper order of things was broken,…

Epstein’s grubby trail in the DRC

A new Drop Site News investigation, published this week, has revealed emails originating from ex-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s Gmail account, linking Jeffrey Epstein’s network to destabilisation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).  The tranche of emails contains a classified proposal from former Mossad chief Danny Yatom’s firm. It describes how Israeli intelligence veterans trained a 150-member elite Congolese special operations force during the 2012-2013 war against the Rwandan-backed M23 rebellion in eastern Congo. Yatom claimed the unit’s night raids and special operations had helped turn the tide of the war. How Jeffrey Epstein’s Israeli Network Shaped Congo’s Deadly Mineral…

The Burnham Coup

Without so much as a leadership contest, it is becoming clear that Andy Burnham will be Prime Minister within weeks. Substantive change to the Labour Party machine, however, is a distant dream. Indeed, Burnham is acting as if he already has the keys to No. 10. Burnham’s chief of staff We now know that his chief of staff will be James Purnell, an ex-chair of Labour Friends of Israel. In 2002, Purnell was hosted by the Israeli state in Tel Aviv. Now, he will be the most senior adviser in the British government. The lobby group was one of the first…

Microsoft worker emails thousands of colleagues about company’s support for genocidal ‘Israel’

On his final day at the company, a Microsoft worker in Italy has sent out an email to thousands of colleagues informing them of how the corporation operates as the technological backbone of the Gaza holocaust perpetrated by so-called ‘Israel’. The hero, known to the Canary as ‘Nour’, said: After nearly two years as a Critical Environment Technician at a Microsoft Italy data center, I choose to resign. This is because, right now, Microsoft is massively expanding its European data centers (aka mass surveillance centers) to use Palestine as a laboratory for its experimental digital weaponry. For the past 994 days,…

Creatively factual Telegraph article claims Miliband is being mean to the military

On 25 June, low-grade looroll manufacturer the Telegraph published a perfect right-wing, rage-baiting scoop: the hated net zero secretary has blocked oil drilling, depriving the poor military of more money. The shock! The horror! The outraged clicks! The only problem? Both the Treasury and the Department for Energy Security say it’s made-up. What’s more, they told the Telegraph as much, and it published anyway. God, we don’t know who to believe – it’s like being trapped between the devil and a rapidly rising sea. ‘Pure nonsense’ The Telegraph touted its article/Milifandom-fiction on social media, proclaiming that: Ed Miliband derailed a plan to fund Britain’s rearmament by…

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…

A senior civil servant in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) made an ableist joke whilst waiting to give evidence on the department’s failings. Disability News Service reports that Neil Couling, director general of DWP services and fraud, made the joke surrounded by other senior figures in a corridor in Portcullis House. They were all waiting to give evidence to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the National Audit Office’s (NAO) joint inquiry into Access to Work.

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…

10 years on, what did (leaving) the EU ever do for the NHS?

This week, as of 23 June, marks ten years since the UK public voted for Brexit — that is, to leave the European Union. Predictably, given that it was orchestrated by the likes of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, it’s been a proper shitshow – and there are few areas where that’s been more visible than the NHS. One of the many cheap slogans of the Leave campaign, which now seems seared into the national consciousness, was: We send the EU £350 million a week. Let’s fund our NHS instead – Vote Leave. Two loosely-connected statements — one factual, one speculative…

Four new by-election wins boost Green Party momentum in London

The Green Party continued its winning streak in London on 25 June with four by-election wins. Green party candidates won in Dalston, Hackney Central, North Acton, and Woodside. Although the party had already taken many of these seats in May, the new by-election wins show its momentum in parts of the capital remains strong. Green party performance in Dalston and Hackney Central Hackney saw perhaps the biggest Green wave in the 2026 local elections. There had been strong collaboration between Greens and local independent socialists. And there was a massive swing away from Labour, particularly in working-class areas. The Hackney ward…

Al Carns is not an “independent” voice

Al Carns has bottled the idea of entering a Labour leadership race. The ex-Armed Forces Minister had been eager to establish himself as a supposedly “independent” voice in recent weeks, resigning from Keir Starmer’s cabinet on 11 June. Carns was previously a supporter of the Conservative Party, and his conversion to Starmer’s Labour was said to have surprised former colleagues. He was generously given the “safe” Labour seat of Birmingham Selly Oak after the previous MP, Steve McCabe, announced that he would not be standing for re-election in 2024. McCabe had served as a parliamentary chair of Labour Friends of Israel…
