The Palestinians are again fighting for their lives, refusing to live in the prison known as Gaza, controlled and policed by Israel with Palestinians killed and maimed, unreported, day after day. Now their resistance, to which they have a right, is called 'unprovoked'. Read on:

The blood never dries in Palestine. The crowds and flags in London and other UK cities today are a glimpse of the resistance all over the world to the barbarism and lies of an occupation sponsored and armed by the West's 'leaders' - those who demand your support. Deny it now.

The UK Labour Party's craven leadership has surpassed itself by suspending Andy McDonald MP for saying, "We won't rest until we have justice. Until all people, Israelis and Palestinians, between the river and the sea, can live in peaceful liberty". How grotesque they are.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the latest fraudulent distraction. Let's have it - when we all have damp-free homes, schools that aren't falling down, civilised healthcare regardless of postcode, climate that's not in crisis and journalists proud not to collude with warmongers.

When I was last in Gaza, the Israeli air force terrorised the population by flying fast and loud and low at night. All children bed-wetted and had violent nightmares, said a psychologist, and were 'damaged forever'. Such is Israel's exercise of its 'right to self defence'.

We are Spartacus now. Are we? Spartacus is the resistance of ordinary people against a fascism that seldom speaks its name. The answer to this question - whether or not we are prepared to resist - is the most important of our age. consortiumnews.com/2023/11/09/joh…

Today's mighty march of peaceful decency for Palestine jammed the streets of London and thrilled all who care about life and right and wrong. I salute them! Peering into the darker reaches of Israel's barrel, Matt Kennard (below) glimpses the opposite kind of human being.

David Cameron is a centrist, says the Guardian. The 'centrist' pledged the NHS 'safe in his hands' then, as PM, began to dismantle it. The 'centrist' led an unprovoked NATO assault on Libya, smashing a modern state, igniting ISIS terrorism and killing 11,000 civilians.

Israel's propaganda is unravelling. The 'evidence' that Hamas had its military HQ beneath Gaza's largest hospital is revealed as non-existent. consortiumnews.com/2023/11/15/isr…

It is an Australian's duty to obey. Sound familiar? This is western democracy 2023. Please read this judgement on David McBride, an heroic truth-teller consortiumnews.com/2023/11/17/lef…

If you understand why Julian Assange and David McBride, truthtellers of the West's wars, are being persecuted, then you understand Gaza and its serial killers. The two issues are about truth and freedom and warn us that a fascism in the 'enlightened' West is approaching.

John Pilger sadly did not live to see the freedom of his great friend and ally. But how he would have celebrated today as Julian Assange finally walked free. All strength to Julian, Stella and their family as they try to recover from this terrible ordeal.
