#JonathanCook | Israel's attack on Iran: The violent new world being born is going to horrify you

"If all this sounds like a sociopath’s approach to foreign relations, that is because it is. Years of impunity for Israel and the US have brought us to this point. Both feel entitled to destroy what remains of an international order that does not let them get precisely what they want."

#JonathanCook | Greta Thunberg tried to shame western leaders - and found they have no shame

"The coverage was so uniform not because it related to any kind of reality, but because it was pure propaganda – narrative spin that served not only Israel’s interests but that of a western political and media class deeply implicated in Israel’s genocide."

Jonathan Cook: Piers Morgan Versus Palestinians
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/06/05/jonathan-cook-piers-morgan-versus-palestinians/
The news host’s treatment of a Palestinian journalist reveals a lot about why the Western political and media class have been so comfortable watching Israel commit a genocide. By Jonathan Cook Jonathan-Cook.net I already had a very low opinion of…

#JonathanCook | Badenoch blurts out the truth: Britain is at the heart of Gaza 'proxy war'

"In that way, arming Israel is seen as no different from arming Ukraine to weaken Russian influence in eastern Europe. It is about containing the West’s geostrategic rivals – or potential partners, were they not viewed exclusively through the prism of western “full-spectrum dominance” – as effectively as Israel has locked Palestinians into prisons and concentration camps in Gaza and the occupied West Bank."

#JonathanCook | Starmer understands: Shed a few tears and we'll forgive him arming a genocide

"Starmer understands that if he sounds upset, even as he actively helps Israel murder Palestinian children, the media will be able to write him out of these crimes against humanity and wash his hands of the blood of tens – probably hundreds – of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.

And worst of all, too many of us will go right along with this grand deception."

#JonathanCook | Israel's claim that 'Hamas is stealing aid' is patently a lie. Here's why

"Israel's claim that Hamas is "stealing aid" is so preposterous no serious journalist or politician ought to give it any kind of airing – yet there it is continuously cropping up in the coverage of Gaza."

More bias and #propaganda from the #BBC

"Bowen’s remarks suggest he needs to explain why, in the midst of an Israeli-engineered famine in Gaza, the BBC would choose to speak to one of the most knowledgeable public figures about that starvation."

#JonathanCook "Guardian, this isn't a 'he said-she said' issue. The ceasefire agreement was clear: the last Israelis would be freed in the 2nd phase. Israel refused to honour the agreement and enter the next phase. They chose a return to genocide.

Pretending this is debatable isn't journalism. It's Israeli propaganda. It's collusion in genocide."

"Did Sharabi's Israeli government handlers – led by Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN – forget to explain to him that Israel has formally banned the UN from Gaza? Israel both bars the UN from the enclave, specifically targeting local staff with its weapons, and yet also expects those same staff to track down the Israeli captives held there. How can one even begin to take Israel’s position – or Sharabi’s – seriously?"

#JonathanCook | Yes, Trump is vulgar. But the US global shakedown is the same one as ever

"It is deeply unwise to be lulled into tribalism by all this – the very tribalism western elites seek to cultivate among their publics to keep us treating international affairs no differently from a high-stakes football match.

No one here has behaved, or is behaving, honourably.

A ceasefire in Ukraine is not about peace. It’s about money, just as the earlier war was. As all wars are, ultimately."

"If you believed all of these stories, and still believe that the West is doing its best to bring to heel Islamic extremism and a supposed Russian imperialism in Ukraine, then you presumably also believe that Israel levelled Gaza, destroyed all its hospitals and starved its entire population of 2.3 million simply to “eliminate Hamas”, even though Hamas has not been eliminated."

We left the march before the arrests because standing on cold concrete isn't pleasant

On our way through Trafalgar Square, I took a few photos of *some* of the police presence in the area.

Far more police present that day than other marches. Either the #MetropolitanPolice expected violence from peaceful protesters or their aim was to incite violence.

#JonathanCook says it's a smear to end the marches

#JonathanCook | #Corbyn is being smeared again – this time to stop protests against genocide

"There is an issue here bigger even than the #Gaza# genocide. Are we going to resign ourselves to living in an #authoritarian state, one where the police serve their political masters in deciding which rights we are permitted, and whether we are allowed to engage in any kind of meaningful #protest against our government?"
