Once again, you express in words the horror and righteous anger we all feel. Thank you for being tireless on the side of Gaza, its children, its women and all its innocent citizens. With every fibre of my being I know what Israel is doing is wrong, and I can only hope that they and their apologists will be brought to justice as speedily as possible. Thank you, Jonathan.

Starmer’s behaviour like most leaders in the ‘democratic’ west is baked into the system of governance that has evolved into a weaponised capitalist economic ecosystem.

* HUGE SIGH (that can be heard in outer space😪)

Thank you Jonathan as always. And what can we say about the recent story of criminals within Gaza who hijacked numerous lorries carrying aid into Gaza and thus denying it to the population (or maybe intending to sell it to whoever has money)? They succeeded because Hamas's forces of order were so depleted that, initially, they weren't able to arrest the culprits. Great news for Israel because it proved that aid was getting in, but wasn't reaching those who most needed it. But in reality, what else is going to happen when all the policemen have been murdered? The IDF murders not only policemen, but surgeons, nurses, journalists, teachers, even the bureaucrats who assemble statistics of the dead. And, of course, thousands and thousands of children.

Exactly.

I can see no reason why the arrest and prosecution of British officials, including the present and preceding Prime Ministers, should not now be pursued as a matter of urgency. Can a private prosecution be mounted under UK law? If not, an ad hoc tribunal should be formed, made up of senior scholars in the legal profession, former UN appointees, a moral philosopher or two, and other worthy figures.

Starmer and his like have been BOUGHT and PAID to NOT say anything negative about Israel. Nothing. It is very simple. They are the most deplorable people, having literally "sold their souls".

Thank you for shining a light on these unspeakably evil politicians and their genocidal actions.

Starmer and Lammy are men of no principle, except that of self=aggrandisement. They are enablers of the genocide, although they won't admit it; and if push came to shove, they would have to answer for this.

Thankyou. You are so brave. And are a light pointing out truth,

Sadly, we are all complicit in allowing this and the previous government to facilitate Genocide. The UK government does what is does because iit knows the masses are overwhelmingly supine.

As a side note, the video evidence of Dr Nizam Mamode was shown by the BBC, not on it's front page as it ought to be, but at the bottom of the Local News page relating to Hampshire & the Isle of White as that is where the doctor is from!

The Dogs of War are well and truly on the rampage now. So, Jonathan, it’s all the more impressive that you can remain so clear-sighted, truthful and dispassionate in your evaluation of the horrors and complicities involved in the so-called ‘war’ in Gaza. This climate of ‘beastiality’ exerts its intellectual influence subtly and extensively - especially amongst the politicians, the MSM and our celebrities - but you remain active beyond its reach. That requires considerable integrity force of character and I applaud you for it. May you inspire other journalists to break out of the ‘bullies’ bubble’ and follow you away from this ruinous dystopia. Before it’s too late.

Craig Mokhiber, until recently, was a top U.N. official working on human rights. He just left his post with a scathing resignation letter blasting U.N. and Western complicity in Israeli abuses.

Here, he sums up this developing situation regarding the psychotic behaviour being evinced by the Zionists, in Amsterdam but also in Palestine, particularly clearly in his Twitter post of November 13th 2024:

Bravo Jonathan. 🙏🏽

Unfortunately, most Western Governments are the same. They are all led by sick people who suffer from some kind of mental disorder. They simply don’t have any empathy and their raving about how evil Putin is and how Ukraine is suffering is meaningless as they will change if it suits them and America tells them too. America and Israel will undoubtedly, if they don’t destroy us all, go down in History as the worst powers ever. They will simply ruin the planet. As for the UK, we are sunk, and things are slowly getting worse and worse for ordinary people. Herr Starmer simply doesn’t care and is a compulsive liar. We are continually being told there’s no money at the same time as they give our unelected Billionaire King a massive pay rise and throw money at Israel and the Ukraine, while opposition parties rant about immigrants. I’m sick and tired of writing letters and sending emails trying to get some sense out of them. All I’ve gotten so far is one letter saying your comments have been noted, which they haven’t. History will deal with these people at some point, but I wish it would hurry up.

Europeans like being slaves.

It's total horror. Our pathetic psychopath leaders will eventually get what they deserve, because they know, deep down, that they are responsible for the murder of those kids, of a whole population. As it's said in the great song Señor Cobranza by Argentinian band Bersuit Vergarabat, "Ellos tienen el poder y lo van a perder", they have the power and they're going to lose it.

The problem is that the so-called prime minister, pretending to lead a sham Labour party, seems to be completely without cojones, and undoubtedly in thrall to his Zionist wife.. What he seems to enjoy is putting on his posh suit and going abroad to get into photo-opps with real leaders. Pathetic.
