The occupation has murdered children of the Al Balawi family overnight in Gaza. Israel is continuing to violate the supposed ‘ceasefire’ nightly. The family’s tent in Gaza City was bombed, killing several children and severely wounding others – among multiple such bombings around midnight. Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat posted a graphic series of images depicting the bodies of murdered children covered in blood – viewer discretion is advised. Gaza pummelled by terror state This is not the first time that the family’s children have been targeted by the colonial occupier. The IOF bombed their home in southern Gaza City eight months…

Syrian-Palestinian journalist Dima Khatib, who lives in Venezuela, lamented that she never thought she would see the day when Israeli soldiers would be in Venezuela—especially after former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez kicked out all Israeli diplomats from Venezuela and cut all relations with Israel in 2009 because of its war on Gaza. Israeli soldiers are in Caracas! A first in 17 years in Venezuela. Coming fresh from a genocide.. hopping to an earthquake. pic.twitter.com/aW9BA59Thz — Dima Khatib (@Dima_Khatib) July 2, 2026 In the video, she says that the Venezuelan government’s post thanking Israel was met with disparaging comments from Venezuelans reflecting…

Morocco’s World Cup story keeps bending in unexpected directions, and in beautiful Monterey it took another sharp turn. Mohamed Ouahbi’s side, organised, stubborn and unshakably calm, edged past the Netherlands on penalties after a 1-1 draw to book a last‑16 meeting with Canada. It was a night where Morocco’s rhythm, passing ability, and speedy attacks got them the win in the end. The Dutch, for all their attacking talent, turned up to attempt a defensive masterclass which failed. The Netherlands had arrived with momentum and expectation. Morocco arrived with big ambitions, but they left with more. World Cup: Netherlands and Morocco…

Reform MP-hopeful Robert Kenyon lost in the Makerfield by-election by over 9,000 votes, which is likely to have left the far-right party feeling pretty sore. However, most who face such a defeat would look to where they didn’t hit the mark with voters — but not grievance-fueling Reform UK whose MPs and leader have come out blaming Starmer’s abysmal leadership for why they didn’t win enough votes to secure the seat. The bigoted party’s deputy leader came first, with Richard Tice telling the BBC that people who actually wanted to vote Reform wound up voting for Labour ‘because they had to’.…

The false narrative white supremacists have pushed about their own white riots

When the racist white riots broke out in Belfast, you’d have thought the sky had fallen in — or at least that a small army of migrants had turned up unannounced and started stealing everyone’s jobs, houses, and sense of “identity”, whatever that means. That’s the story the pernicious far-right and their cheerleaders in certain corners of the corporate media were peddling, anyway. It’s a narrative as old as it is ridiculous. Whenever things feel tough, blame the person who just arrived, the one who has less, the one who’s already vulnerable. Let’s be absolutely clear from the start: these were…

Israel’s illegal war against Lebanon leaves 250k without proof they owned their destroyed homes

As Israel’s brutal expansionist campaign in Lebanon continues with absolute impunity, Lebanese officials warn the destruction could leave up to 250,000 people unable to prove they own homes that have been – or will likely soon be – demolished. Aerial imagery over Bint Jbeil has fuelled this growing alarm, appearing to show the destruction of sites holding civil records and land deeds – effectively erasing “the paper infrastructure of a city’s legal existence.” The Intercept report that the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) targeted attacks have left Bint Jbeil without a notary. Government buildings have been razed to the ground, and Lebanese…

Labour MP lobbied for political commentators to have their visas revoked

Labour MP David Taylor apparently has no problem with Israeli genocidaires and returning IOF reservists visiting Britain, but American content creators and political commentators are one step too far. Last week, Taylor called for Hasan Piker to be banned from entering the UK, claiming that his presence would be “not conducive to the public good”. When Shabana Mahmood obliged by revoking the visas of Piker and Cenk Uygur, another political commentator, Taylor thanked the Home Secretary. The Community Support Trust lobby group also celebrated the decision, stating that Piker “exceeded the bounds of acceptable discourse”. The Board of Deputies’ statement applauding…

New research warns that family hardship has deepened despite years of post-pandemic support measures, worsening child food hunger. The survey of 2,500 UK parents, which Opinium carried out for the Social Market Foundation, found that nearly half (44%) were struggling more today to afford food than five years ago. In addition, 1 in 5 (21%) parents reported their children regularly experiencing some form of food insecurity. This included being unable to access balanced meals, or relying heavily on cheap foods. The Social Market Foundation report comes at a time when the cost of living remains among the top issues for the…

The 2026 World Cup will not just be another milestone in the history of the game; it could become the final chapter for some of the greatest stars who have left their mark on global football over the last two decades.

The average age of these stars is about 37, and…

Reform racist Yusuf wants to ban Sikhs fulfilling their religion

Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf is more than a bit full of himself. He likes to style himself Reform’s “Shadow Home Secretary”. He’s not. He’s Reform’s home affairs spokesperson, God help us all. ‘Shadow’ refers to the home affairs spokesperson of the party with second-most MPs in the Commons. For the moment, that’s still the Tories. But many would say he’s full of something else, too. That proposition is reinforced by the fact that today, 29 May 2026, he has decided he needs to pander to his racist base even further. In this case, by banning Sikhs from carrying the kirpan, the ceremonial…
