There is something morally wrong in UK politics, Labour and Conservative leaders categorically deny a Genocide is taking place in Gaza even when the ICJ, the UN, all human rights groups and top Genocide lawyers all over the world say it is. Everyone in the world can see with their own eyes the existence of Genocide over the past two years, yet these apologies for human beings deny it all. These people Starmer and Lammy are the scum of the earth, unpleasant things await them in the future.
Without evidence, Starmer accused people who attend pro-Palestine protests in the UK of “calling for the murder of Jewish people” and said that they were exhibiting a “total loss of humanity and empathy” while engaging in un-British behaviour.
Despite his references to humanity and empathy, he did not mention Israel’s indiscriminate attacks on Gaza, which has killed well over 67,000 people since 7 October 2023, Starmer’s op-ed followed remarks by Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the opposition Conservative Party, in which she called the pro-Gaza demonstrations “carnivals of hate”.
The Daily Mail also reported Conservative shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick as saying that the protests were a “f***ing disgrace”.

Re my above comment, also on Sep 29, 2025 · In a historic vote, delegates at Labour Party Conference today voted to accept that Israel is committing a genocide in Palestine and to demand comprehensive sanctions. Which of course will be dismissed by the Genocidal Labour government.
The UK parliament will only accept that there is a genocide when Israel declares there is a genocide, until then the zionist fifth columnists won’t bite the hand that feeds them !
Keir Starmer claimed that the pro Palestinian protests were being used as a “despicable excuse to attack British Jews for something over which they have absolutely no responsibility” This is an Anti Semitic statement since many Jews (well documented) are on these protests because they are protesting the Israeli governments Genocidal assaults on Gaza, as well as the UK governments complicity in them. Starmer is conflating all Jews with the actions of the Israeli government.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Monday that villages in the Israeli-occupied West Bank should look like cities in Gaza that have been reduced to rubble in response to the shooting at a bus stop in Jerusalem.
https://news.antiwar.com/2025/09/08/israels-smotrich-says-west-bank-villages-should-look-like-destroyed-gaza-cities-after-jerusalem-shooting/
Since Finance Minister Smotrich is still a member of the Israeli government, he must be speaking for it, yet the UK government still trade with, and sends arms to Israel, this is disgusting, this UK government is complicit in Genocide and needs to face justice.
This is the equivalent of the UK government calling for the leveling of the entire area of West Belfast because the IRA killed a number of British citizens.
British governments arm sales to Israel reach record levels in 2025 – and they are still continuing to sell them to the Zionists – the British establishment is aiding and abetting in genocide.
Perfidious Albion.

That is such a contrast . The shameless hypocrisy has to been seen to be believed..
Keir Starmer the so called Human Rights Lawyer needs to start differentiating the words Jewish, Israel (the state) and Zionist, the latter two can be freely criticized because the Employment Tribunal has decided Anti Zionism is a philosophical belief, a protected characteristic under the UK Equality Act 2010 and therefore you are allowed to be critical of it
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-68211872
As for being critical of Israel, most countries at the UN are critical of the state of Israel, it is not anti Semitic to be critical of Israel, in fact you would be less than human, not to be. Starmer is forever conflating hatred of Jews with criticism of Zionism or Israel, he is being disingenuous and quite deliberately so. So that when he abuses the protestors, here is what he said (the Times) “Let me just spell it out for a moment: people on our streets calling for the murder of Jewish people they have never met, for something they are not responsible for”. This abuse directed at peaceful and legitimate protestors is a lie and possibly a criminal offence.
Surely if someone doing Starmer’s job says in public that people are committing a crime, he should make sure the police and CPS ensure they’re charged with it, no? Calling for the murder of anyone is a crime. As Starmer should well know, given that he’s a lawyer, like – indeed a former prosecutor. Doesn’t matter whether the person whose murder is being called for is Jewish or not. Starmer is a complete f*cking idiot. Everyone knows Cameron, May, and Johnson were lazy b*stards, but Starmer is like a mixture of Blair (amazing bullsh*tting man) and Truss (retard). Imagining looking back from a few years in the future, it’s easiest to see the memory of Starmer as … non-existent. (Cf. Truss and to an extent also May.)
How did Starmer get the DPP gig? There’s gotta be a story there somewhere. I don’t know the answer to the question. Is his wife gangster-connected?? Or maybe someone else in his (or her) family is?
– Starmer’s handler/wife is Jewish.
– Starmer’s role as DPP was to protect sexual deviants and persecute Assange.
There is absolutely no connection between these statements whatsoever, nada, nothing.
Savile was Zionist connected, including through Marks and Spencer.
There’s also the Tessa Jowell (Olympics), David Mills (Berlusconi associate), Barbara Mills (DPP) crime family. David was Tessa’s husband and Barbara’s brother.
Starmer’s father-in-law Bernard Alexander is described as having been a lecturer in economics, but at what institution? (Why isn’t this info public? What’s the problem? Is it even true?) He is also described as a chartered accountant. It’s unclear whether he worked in private practice (likely) or as an employee, who his clients were, and whose audits he signed, if any. To call himself a chartered accountant in England he would have had to have been in the ICAEW.
It wouldn’t surprise me if “Alexander” wasn’t the surname that Starmer’s economics-head father-in-law was born with.
Starmer is like an other dimensional progeny of an in vitro fertilization using the combined sperm of Gilbert & George and the womb of Lisa Nandy.
He has that very buttoned-up, sinister, English pervy vibe ( just what * service * did those 3 Ukrainian, ahem ‘ Male Models ‘ provide for him? ) of the former and the glaikit gormlessness of the latter
I can’t think of another Politician, ever, who is so clearly working ” under instruction ” , So much so, he doesn’t really try to hide the fact – remember when he was asked ” UK or Davos? ” and his momentary hesitation ( probably assessing what answer would benefit him most ) before replying- with the self-assured smirk of an * Insider * – ” Davos “.
I’ve always wondered about that – on the surface- outrageous answer; I mean, imagine any prospective political leader of a country clearly stating his prioritising of some unelected entity over the country he/she was aspiring to lead.Why was he so confident making this statement wouldn’t harm his chances of achieving his aim of becoming P,M – as it surely would have ordinarily?
Could it be because his ascent to that position was somehow ‘ in the bag ‘?
I’ve remarked before about his seemingly frictionless, rapid rise through Labour, to the top of that Party and the immediate political assassination of Corbyn that followed – this despite giving the impression of complete loyalty to J.C in the latter’s G.E campaign; then what looked like the incumbent Tory Gov simply rolling over with barely token resistance to the * inevitability * of a Labour victory. It all seemed so suspiciously pre-planned, and everything that’s happened since, eg Labour’s slavish adherence to and compliance with every Israeli abomination; ditto the Proxy War; Digital ID and continuing Tory Austerity etc has strongly reinforced that suspicion. He was/is the Deep State’s man and was always going to be installed as P.M, irrespective of what he said, done previously
Robert Hughes
“…then what looked like the incumbent Tory Gov simply rolling over with barely token resistance to the * inevitability * of a Labour victory. It all seemed so suspiciously pre-planned.”
The answer can probably be found in the question : What would have happened in the international financial markets had the election produced an inconclusive result, and a hung parliament?
Under Truss’s disastrous mini-budget in 2022, the yield on 10-year gilt rose by 50 bps in a single day, 30-year yields jumped by 17 basis points in the selloff. A country so in hock to fund manager sentiment i.e., the markets – the costs of servicing debt – we simply can’t afford political instability. Look at France, the only reason they aren’t in deep financial merde, is because they are backed up by the ECB. The UK doesn’t have that luxury. So yes, I think Starmer was allowed to ascend into No.10 by the establishment, as they perceived that as being in the national interest. It was the same thing when Sunak took over unopposed, after Truss stood down. He was a placeman too.
Even talk of Andy Burnham challenging Starmer, is scaring the bejesus out of them. Why? Because Burnham has talked about loosening Reeve’s precious fiscal rules risking the debt market’s ire.
Goose
Yes, I’m sure you’re right re ” the Market/s ” considering Starmer a * safe pair of hands * ( that may well turn out to be an erroneous judgement ) and being instrumental in smoothing his passage to #10.
I can’t help thinking there were * other considerations * ( than purely fiscal ) , though; ie those I referred to, above.
I’m thinking of that total tit Ben Wallace unequivocally stating just weeks after the start of Russia’s SMO that ” the UK will be at war with Russia by – can’t remember exactly, but I think he said – 2027 “, This says to me the conflict with Russia was long-planned; a perception made more credible when we consider the behaviour of the U.S in/with Ukraine and the – less overt, but equally insidious – involvement of the Brit Security Services/Military Intelligence in the affairs of that country.
Unfortunately for the would-be regime change in Russia instigators, their hubristic contempt for Russia’s capacity/willingness to respond militarily to the endless & increasingly flagrant provocations of the * West * has blown-up in their faces and has turned out disasterously for the * Empire *, threatening even the continued existence of NATO and possibly the E.U also: I don’t how either of those two institutions can survive – at least as presently constituted – after the colossal miscalculation of their participation in – fundamentally – the U.S instigated Proxy War
I’m 95% convinced Starmer was selected to front the UK side of this dazzlingly stupid folie de grandeur
Certain players in the financial markets absolutely loved the Truss premiership. I wouldn’t put it all down to Tory party members voting for a clueless white woman. At least with Black Wednesday in 1992 it was reported that George Soros stuffed his pockets. (Although he was by no means the biggest player who did.) But fast forward 30 years and the universal line in 2022 was that there was trouble on the markets because a retarded prime minister and finance minister didn’t understand economics – with the implication that they didn’t realise they were thickos when dudes at the Treasury and Bank of England tried to tell them.
When Truss resigned, Sunak was allowed an unchallenged ascendancy; he being the only one to amass the required support of 100 Tory MPs to run, and Hunt( appointed as Chancellor) turned up as if the country were a failing school put in special measures by the establishment. Nobody questioned the undemocratic way they were imposed.
The Sunak couple’s combined wealth is estimated at anything up to a billion. What was he even doing in UK politics with such wealth? Prior to becoming PM he’d been made Chancellor of the Exchequer in February 2020, and retained a US green card for over 19 months while in office. Holding a green card signifies permanent residency in the U.S….which requires the holder to pledge that the U.S. is their permanent home. Sunak’s spokeswoman stated that he filed U.S. tax returns as a non-resident during this period, complying with U.S. laws. The US White House spokeswoman at the time couldn’t explain why the normal residency rules had been ignored in Sunak’s case, referring journalists to the U.S State Dept and saying it related to matters of national security. Subsequently, no response was forthcoming from the State Dept, afaik?.
Sketchy or what?
London Journos: The Stamp duty proposals are a winner!
Stamp duty for first-time buyers in England and Northern Ireland applies to properties priced above £300,000. To take out a £300,000 mortgage you need to be earning around £75,000 p.a.
Approximately 5% of earners in the UK make £75,000 or more annually.
@Robert Hughes
Glad you mentioned the 3 Ukrainians, because I was wondering about developments on that front. Have there been any charges, trials, convictions, any further information released, etc? Or has all gone quiet?
They are supposedly going to trial next year. My guess is that it will never come to that, unless the 3 accused can be coerced/bribed into saying ” is woz dem diabolic Ruskies wot put us up to it “. Failing that, they’ll be quietly disposed of – if they’re lucky by deportation, if not, * disappeared.
It is really telling just how little attention this affair has had in MSM and what it says about who/what Starmer is and why he appears to be being protected.
Imagine for a moment if this had been, say……Jeremy Corbyn involved in this, the MSM would have been all over it, incessantly.
Or Alex Salmond; I don’t know if you’re aware, Luis, what happened around him after he was accused ( conspired against ) of what were later proven in court to be utter fabrications that should never have even arrived on the Procurator Fiscal’s desk, never mind been taken to trial.
Police Scotland formed a group of detectives with the specific purpose – officially – to investigate these accusations, in actuality to dig for dirt on the man; in the process of which they interviewed literally 100s of people of his past and ( then ) present acquaintance – and turned up zero, diddly mcsquat, eff-all. Despite which, the trial went ahead, on possibly the most risibly feeble prosecution basis in Scottish legal history. Thankfully, the majority female jury saw right through the farce and Alex was – rightly – exonerated on all charges. The whole shit/show-trial wasting hundreds of police hours and enormous amounts of public money; we can only imagine the awful toll it took on Mr Salmond and his family, the stress almost certainly contributing to his premature death.
Compare the treatment Salmond got to the ” nothing to see here, move along ” free pass Starmer’s had.
The difference being Salmond was undoubtedly considered a threat to the * integrity * ( what!!?? ) of the UK – as, in a different context, was Corbyn; whereas Starmer is clearly ” one of us “, ergo, an asset to be protected
Robert
Yep, never referred to at all by HM ‘Opposition’ and their media.
As with his arming, spying, training etc for the IDF.
@Robert Hughes
“…going on trial NEXT YEAR…”?
I’ve heard there’s a big backlog – not to say a logjam – in the British judicial system – but surely one would have thought that a matter as serious as an attempted attack of the Prime Minister would warrant jumping the queue and having the alleged perps put on trial rather sharpish?
Perish the thought, of course, that by “next year” 99% of the population wlll have forgotten all about the affair…….whether or not it does come to trial.
@ Zoot. Indeed. There really isn’t such as thing as ( the ) Opposition in WM these days. Yes, the various layers of the Uniparty onion may heckle and bluster their ELECTORAL opponents, but that is just in order to get their turn at the publicly-funded trough; when they succeed in this, the merely continue whatever shit their predecessors where inflicting on the people.
@ Luis . Yes, you would have thought there’d be more urgency attaching to this case, particularly as Sir Queer ( laughably ) described it as ” an attack on Democracy ” ahahahaha, worra guy, eh?
” whereas Starmer is clearly ” one of us “, ergo, an asset to be protected”
See also the reaction of the Tory MPs and MSM when Boris, then PM, attacked Starmer over the Savile case. It was Boris who got it in the neck. Bit of a giveaway or what?

I wonder if you’d agree, Pears, that the various UK Muslim organizations need to raise their game, and, inspiring themselves from the example set by the various UK Zionist and Jewish organizations, start collecting statistics on the number of anti-Muslim “incidents”?
These numbers could be aggregated and published annually, together with the percentage increase in such “incidents” over the previous year(s).
After the first such publication, the MSM could be invited to periodically publish interviews with Muslims who could tell the public of how afraid they are to walk the streets and how seriously they’re thinking of leaving the country to go and settle in a Muslim one.
Already being done. Forty five percent of ‘hate crimes’ are directed at Muslims, up 19% on the year. Jews still suffer the greatest proportion per head of population though.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3vg33nje4o
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hate-crime-england-and-wales-year-ending-march-2025
Problem there is that the definition of ‘hate crime’ is vague, posting an offensive message online or accidentally dropping a Koran for example.
“After the first such publication, the MSM could be invited to periodically publish interviews with Muslims who could tell the public of how afraid they are to walk the streets and how seriously they’re thinking of leaving the country to go and settle in a Muslim one.”
And the answer would be ” O great, let me help you, here is a oy ticket”.
The politicians and media can’t use those attacks to help Israel and smear protest against Britain’s role in the Genocide.
Says Matt Kennard.
” A source very close to the senior leadership of MI6 has got in contact. They wanted to make public the opposition within the intelligence agency to the proscription of Palestine Action.
Senior figures are said to feel it is a distraction from the battle against real terrorist threat – and should never have happened.
The source has been verified.”
MI6 has many “friends” in the Arab world, especially the Gulf. This news may be aimed at them. For when James Bond films aren’t enough…
What a terrible “deal” for the Palestinians, a rushed capitulation order, framed as a “peace treaty”, only pushed and finalized by the genocide-enabling Trump in his pitiful quest to get the Peace Prize which is about to be announced on friday.
What is missing the most from this “deal” in my view is the obvious impunity for the israelis, they could walk free after this deal plus the claims that Israel commit genocide will obviously diminish from now on let alone the pro-palestinian protests momentum will likely die out to great extent. Everything was in vain?
In other news, and quite a bombshell, Charlie Kirk only pushed pro-israel views because of wealthy pro-israel jewish donors:
Turning Point confirms authenticity of leaked Charlie Kirk messages
According to the screenshots, Kirk wrote, “I just lost another huge Jewish donor. $2 million a year because we won’t cancel Tucker.”
, Kirk wrote that he had “no choice but to leave the pro-Israel cause.”
https://swentr.site/news/626105-leaked-charlie-kirk-messages-authenticity/
Also the occupation government is only committing to releasing the ~1700 Palestinian hostages who were living in Gaza before they were captured and whom it has seized in the past two years, plus ~250 serving life sentences. They hold many more hostages than that, including a large number under “administrative detention” whom their Mickey Mouse colonial authorities have never charged or tried.
The occupation degrades its Arab prisoners in vilely inhumane ways. Hamas treats its Jewish prisoners well. We shouldn’t expect this comparison to be on the front pages of the NYT, BBC, etc.
Indeed, most likely these Palestinians that israel – allegedly – set to release will probably end up being kidnapped again or killed within months anyway.
On the peace prize question, how fragile Trump must be, now pressuring the Nobel Peace committee to more or less hand him the prize!?
Trump boosts pressure over Nobel Peace Prize decision – FT
https://swentr.site/news/626122-trump-pressure-nobel-peace-prize/
The only worthy of the peace prize is Nurses/doctors in Gaza and Journalists/reporters in Gaza, the whole idea that Trump is so deluded believing he is worthy of a peace prize after he enabled the Genocide, let alone carried out attacks against Venezuela, Iran etc really show how stupid this man really is. It is disturbing how little push back there is against this clown.

Cf. how prisons are run in Britain, with logging by guards of “positive behaviour” events.
If Gaetz had broader knowledge, he wouldn’t call this “weird”.
Western politicians and media are scrupulously covering up the Uyghur ‘genocide’ in Xinjiang, how could he be aware of it?
The whole concept of the Chinese committing crimes against the Uyghur people in the province of Xinjiang – was created by Adrian Zenz – a German nutjob, who said that God had told him to destroy China, his utter rubbish reports – were picked up by the CIA and spread across the West, because it suits the USA agenda in the region.
The reality is that the Chinese province of Xinjiang borders, via a narrow valley onto Afghanistan – the Chinese have used this narrow valley to create a trade route via Afghanistan, now that the West’s murderous forces have fled the country, though Trump wants the Bagram airbase back, but Afghan officials have said no way – Trump claims that the USA should have the base back because they built it, but even that isn’t true the Soviets built Bagram – in anycase the land Bagram sits on is sovereign Afghan territory.
https://thegrayzone.com/?s=adrian+zenz
Oh and the Uyghur’s are doing okay in Xinjiang from what I’ve read.
“^ An illustration of why Xinjiang is important globally.”
Indeed it is, it shows how a completely imaginary “genocide” can be conjoured up by the Western media and security services in western China to deflect from the real slaughter in West Asia.
Billionaire Zionists are hurrying to buy up Tic Toc and CBS and unfurl a police surveillance state led by Palantir 7 Aug 2025 – After reaching an agreement with President Trump, David Ellison—the son of the second-richest man in the world, Larry Ellison—has acquired Paramount Global, the media giant that owns CBS News.
Larry Ellison, the largest private funder of the Israel Defense Forces, is deeply tied to the Israeli national security state and counts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among his closest friends.
https://just-international.org/articles/israels-biggest-us-donor-now-owns-cbs/
In addition to this, Zionist donors are promising as much money as it takes to appose Thomas Massie an anti Zionist. They are not hiding it anymore, they see (opinion polls) are very negative toward Israel, so what do they do? They buy the MSM, just as they buy Congress critters as detailed in my comment above. Will they succeed? I don’t think they will, the truth is out about the racist, supremacist and Genocidal monstrosity that is Israel, it may take some time for the world to react, but with a combination of economic and military attrition the end is nigh for Israel.
Johnathan Cook’s latest article is the best I have ever read, He details the history of the Palestinian struggle with the latest UK governments oppressive tactics against Palestinian supporters. Shabana Mahmood UK Home Sec justifies this near-death-knell erosion of the right to protest on the grounds that regular protests have a “cumulative impact”. She is right. They do: by exposing as a sham our government’s claim to stand for human rights, and to represent anything more than naked, might-is-right politics.
A deradicalisation is long overdue – and not just to halt the West’s crimes against the people of Gaza and the wider Middle East region.
Already, as our leaders normalise their crimes abroad, they are normalising related crimes at home. The first signs are in the designation of opposition to genocide as “hate”, and of practical efforts to stop the genocide as “terrorism”.
The intensifying campaign of demonisation will grow, as will the crackdown on fundamental and long-cherished rights.
Israel has declared war on the Palestinian people. And our leaders are slowly declaring war on us, whether it be those protesting the Gaza genocide, or those opposed to a consumption-driven West’s genocide of the planet.
We are being isolated, smeared and threatened. Now is the time to stand together before it is too late. Now is the time to find your voice.
https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gaza-genocide-two-years-west-deradicalised-never-happens-again.
There is nothing the UK government could do that would stop the media telling the public that ‘Britain stands for human rights’.
Nothing.
That has been proven beyond doubt over the past two years.
Yes. And Starmer and the MSM tell us repeatedly that Israel is the only democracy in the ME and that the IDF is the most moral army on the planet. Unfortunately, a lot of people believe this shite and persuading them otherwise is next to impossible.
That’s not the only expression one could be sceptical about, Zoot.
How about “the European way of life” and “the rule of law” and “European values”.
These for a continent that within the space of the last 130 years or so has seen Europeans indulging in two pan-European wars (total casualties in the tens of millions), Italian fascism, Nazi concentration camps, the Soviet GuLag, violent attempts to resist decolonialization and the Nabka (inflicted in the main by European Jews).
Someone’s got a good sense of humour somewhere!
Well said. Jonathan Cook’s latest article is essential reading for anyone who wants peace and justice to prevail in the Middle East
Worth observing that in the Occupiers-Palestine agreement, the allowing of humanitarian aid into a famine zone is one of the points. This means that the occupiers were refusing to allow such aid to be delivered unless the resistance made concessions. That is not just a war crime – it’s a crime against humanity. We already knew this, but the agreement makes it totally in yer face and shameless.
As for the Norwegian parliamentary committee, if they’re going to do what it seems likely they’ll do, they can shove their disgusting brown cheese where it looks like it came from. And their Christmas tree with it.
It looks as though they’ll give the Peace Prize to Trump. They’ll be too scared to poke his nominator Netanyahu in the eye, for fear he might send them another Breivik.
Normal practice (see for example Vietnam and USA in 1973, Occupation and Egypt 1978, and Occupation and Palestine in 1994) would be to award it to leaders from both sides. In this case, that would probably mean Benyamin Netanyahu for the settlers and Khaled Mashal for the Palestinians.
But the country that almost succeeded in wiping out the Taters (a travelling people) won’t want to recognise anyone from Hamas as a human being or agreement-maker. They’d rather receive thanks from a rapist and failed casino owner from New York, the man who couldn’t abide letting a part of the US state continue to be called the “Defence” department but insisted on renaming it the War department. A true “peace duke” (пиздюк) among peace dukes.
I hope not only that the Nobel Committee do not give Trump the prize, but that they give it to some little-known humanitarian, especially from a country that Trump would look down on and despise, on the grounds that the laureate has “done the most for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, or for holding or promoting peace congresses”, as Alfred Nobel explicitly willed in 1895. If, as I expect, Trump’s reaction will be suitable grist for the mill of comedians who regularly make fun of him, I look forward to seeing them on Youtube. Some entertainment to look forward to for the coming week. 😁
He’ll probably throw a tantrum and impose a ‘Nobel tariff’ on Norway if they shun him. As absurd as that seems, why does that scenario actually seem possible with thin-skinned Trump?
The U.S., either the Biden or Trump administration, could’ve ended the carnage in Gaza at any moment over the last two years, with a single phone call. It’s estimated Israel have caused £800 billion in damage in Gaza; fighting an elusive enemy with weaponry amounting to little more than small arms. It’s obnoxious, even calling it a war, when one side can bomb with total impunity.
It’s done incalculable damage to western perceptions of Israel too. The tolerance of Israeli society for inflicting mass casualties and starvation on a defenceless population will stain that country for decades – long after Trump and Netanyahu are gone.
You’re right on all three points you make, IMO. I guess the Norwegians will react to his tantrum with the wisdom worthy of Buddha of a “Nobel silence” (typo intentional).
Ronald Reagan did end the carnage in Beirut with a phone call to Menachem Begin in the 80s, but I don’t see Donald Trump having the character for it.
And yes, behaving like a reincarnation of the Nazis will only strengthen the case for economic and military sanctions to put a stop to the crimes against humanity, so sooner or later apartheid in Palestine will have to give way to fulll democracy between the Jordan and the Mediterranean. Let’s hope sooner.
While the Nobel Committee is indeed a pro-western corrupt organization there is in my view very little risk that the prize would go to Trump and certainly not this year anyway since the deal itself has not been agreed to, at the same time the Nobel committee awarded Omar M. Yaghi with the chemist prize the other day, a Palestinian. While I am sure this man deserve the prize, did the committee awarded him because of him being of palestinian descent and in that move also set up a possible alibi for giving Trump the peace prize? Like, ‘yes we gave Trump the peace prize but look, we also gave a palestinian an award’
Hopefully I am getting ahead of myself here.
Outrageously premature if he does get awarded. But there again, it was outrageous when Barack ‘the drone king’ Obama’ received it. The Nobel Committee should consider what Trump may do in Venezuela; where they are amassing forces nearby as if in preparation for regime change. Or in the West Bank, Lebanon or Iran, should Israel decide western indifference to international rules when it comes to their leaders, is akin to green light to launch more unprovoked aggressions.
Despite pressure from Trump the Nobel Peace Prize 2025 was awarded to María Corina Machado for her work for democracy in Venezuela.

As one expected, israel cynically keep bombing Gaza, one cannot trust this flagrant manipulative people ruling israel:
Israeli attacks have continued in the besieged Gaza Strip despite an announcement by mediators that a ceasefire had been reached to end the two-year aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip.

So first they claim that members of Hamas will walk free if they only agree to the “deal” > Hamas agrees to the deal > before an actual contract/deal has been signed israel obviously see a window of opportunity to get rid some more Hamas members > israel manage to get their “hostages” back and manage to kill off some more Hamas members. It is such a gross set up.
