Why? Sheer meanness? Embarrassment at the condition to which these good men have been reduced by an evil prison system? Hatred of the righteous?

These men are hostages. Will our governments call for their release in every statement about Gaza?

Israel have (more or less) stopped the bombing, shelling and shooting in Gaza. But they are still determined not to let outsiders see what they have done in Gaza. I wonder why?

Continuing grateful thanks to the brave volunteers of the flotilla: we know the brutality that is waiting for them.

Is This Man Britain’s Next Prime Minister?

At a somber Labour conference in Liverpool, disillusionment with Keir Starmer gave way to open talk of succession—and the name on everyone’s lips was Andy Burnham.

Sir Keir leads a close-knit loyal team, loyal to all those Labour policies we have hated. Replacing Starmer but keeping the same team? I still would not vote Labour again. Better a successful mayor than a failed PM.

The UK surveillance flights over Gaza, have they ended? The UK government says the intelligence the obtained was only used to help recover the Israeli hostages, so they should end now. Right?

When will this evil stop? Will Israel open all the gates to aid tomorrow? If the Israelis keep displacing and killing Palestinian civilians after they get the hostages back we will know that hostage return was just an excuse.

OK there is a ceasefire. But when will Israel stop starving babies? I remember that the Israelis have confiscated baby formula from the bags of doctors coming from abroad to volunteer in Gaza. The mean cruelty of Zionism!
