The Labour government is asked yet again when it plans to respond to the ICJ's demand, issued 16 months ago, that states stop aiding Israel's illegal occupation.

Ministers appear to have no intention of responding, because it would incriminate their ally Israel.

The UK government says it doesn't know how many Britons are fighting in the Israeli military.

(The Met Police is currently considering what action to take after receiving a report accusing 10 British nationals of war crimes in Gaza.)

One of the craziest things happening right now is how there’s been report after report confirming that Jeffrey Epstein really was an Israeli intelligence operative, and yet it’s had no measurable impact on mainstream media or politics.

Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time.

Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike.

Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.

President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%.

Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, and they increased 243%.

The USA is the only country where anybody can buy an assault rifle.
