There were very few world leaders with the courage and principle to advocate for Julian Assange while the West relentlessly persecuted him for a decade for exposing their multiple grave crimes.

It won't matter to the average Brazilian voter in tomorrow's election (understandably so: most struggle to overcome basic deprivations), but Julian -- on the eve of Lula's last election tomorrow -- commendably recalls that Lula (for no real political gain) always crusaded for his freedom (Lula did the same for Snowden):

Netanyahu has vowed to launch a major operation in the West Bank following a shooting in Hebron in which two Palestinians killed two Israeli soldiers and injured three other Israelis. According to Netanyahu, the operation would be similar to “Iron Wall,” the ongoing military operation in refugee camps that has displaced 33,000 Palestinians from their homes, with those displaced still barred from returning.

Iron Wall has led to what the UN describes as “the longest and largest displacement crisis in the West Bank since 1967.” The IDF has demolished entire residential blocks and streets. According to satellite imagery, 52% of buildings in the Jenin refugee camp have been destroyed or damaged, along with 55% in Nur Shams and 37% in Tulkarm.

The mass demolitions were stark examples of the West Bank’s Gazafication. Now, Netanyahu is effectively vowing to expand the use of these devastating tactics, which he called successful, even further. This is happening ahead of Israel’s Knesset elections on October 27.

As insane as it sounds, this is what an election campaign can look like under occupation.

There's a hierarchy of racism in the UK and it goes like this.

Is it against Israel? - Worst type of hate in the world.
Anyone else (including Jews against Israel) - Don't really give a shit about that actually
Against Muslims and Immigrants - Great! Lets invite you on TV.

Pollard abuses me over a systemically flawed review into antisemitism in schools

Here's how he responded to over 30 former school contemporaries accusing Nigel Farage of antisemitism

That included mimicking gas chambers and saying Hitler was right

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Some people are responding to the headline of my latest article on the film NAZA with: "There's no evil lurking in me. It's just those Israeli soldiers."

There are two things that make any of us capable of committing evil acts:

1. Finding ourselves in circumstances that, we are persuaded, call for evil.

2. Lacking the capacity for deep self-reflection.

Those of us who have never found ourselves in the first situation have never really been tested on whether we have that second capacity.

If you're absolutely certain that you could never do what those Israeli soldiers did in Gaza, then you have either done a lot of self-reflection or none at all.

We have faced one test already: whether we protested the Gaza genocide with all our might or stayed quiet.

But that test is the lowest bar there is. Would we still keep our humanity if we were persuaded the stakes were personally much higher for us and our loved ones, as many Israelis were persuaded in relation to Gaza.

NAZA works, at least for western audiences, because on one level it makes us identify with the Israeli soldiers – they look and sound like our own children – while on another it shows the utter depravity of what they are rationalising to themselves and to us.

It pulls us in and repulses us at the same time. It causes huge cognitive dissonance in western audiences – the reason most people walk out in stunned silence.

That may lead to the kind of deeper self-reflection needed before western publics refuse to allow their leaders to collude in genocide.

But it may also lead some, those less able to self-reflect, to entrench in their connivance with evil.

We can't blame NAZA for that. The film offers us a chance to open our eyes. But each of us must decide whether we are willing to see or remain blind.

The crime scene in the Congo.

The crime scene in the Niger Delta.

The crime scene in the Sahel.

The crime scene in Sudan.

They are not separate crimes.

They are the same crime in different phases.

The phase where the extraction was called colonialism.

The phase where the extraction was called "development."

The phase where the extraction is called "investment."

The phase where the extraction is called the "green transition."

The product changes. The phone. The car. The battery. The solar panel.

The child in the mine does not change.

The armed group protecting the access route does not change.

The government that will be destabilized if it demands a fair price does not change.

The international institution that will cut off funding if the terms are renegotiated does not change.

The academic who measures the output of the system and attributes it to the biology of the people inside it does not change.

Lucy Powell wants every school in England to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism. Seven of its eleven examples are about Israel. We analysed the review as well as the 37 news articles about it.

What the review shows:

• Its longest section, 1,073 words, is about pupils and teachers showing support for Palestine with badges and flags. It mentions antisemitism twice.

• 2,407 words on political impartiality. 267 on supporting the victims of antisemitism.

• 23% of the review is about Israel, Palestine or political expression. In the staff conduct chapter, it is 60%.

• It says a view held by 45% of British adults, that Israel treats Palestinians like the Nazis treated Jews, could be antisemitic. Source: a YouGov poll for the Campaign Against Antisemitism, September 2025.

• Its terms of reference committed it to IHRA's definition of antisemitism in March, eight weeks before the call for evidence opened.

• The review says there is "confusion around the boundary between legitimate political expression and antisemitism". It asked people that directly: 526 of 590 said they could tell the difference. It leaves that answer out.

• 158 of 587 responses criticised the review, including its use of IHRA. It quotes none of them.

• "Three in five Jewish pupils" rests on 70 students.

• A charity named The Academic Study Group, whose only firm policy is opposing boycotts of Israel, lists Sir David Bell on its council. The terms of reference say he has "no conflict of interest".

How the media framed it:

• 27 of 37 reports named the IHRA definition. Only 4 quoted any of its examples about Israel.

• None mentioned the 45% passage, the 158 critical responses or Bell's place on the Academic Study Group council.

• Critics of the definition got 883 words across 37 reports, 828 of them from one NEU statement. The Community Security Trust alone got 1,119.

• 9 reported any criticism of the definition. In 6, the only critic was the NEU.

• 8 put badges, flags or political symbols in the headline or standfirst, in an attempt to reinforce the message that solidarity for Palestine is linked to antisemitism.

• The Times cut "and the genocide in Gaza" from the NEU leader's words and put an ellipsis in its place.

Antisemitism in schools is real, and Jewish children must be protected. A definition that cannot tell Jewish children apart from the Israeli state only benefits the Israeli state, by conflating the two and misrepresenting real antisemitism.

How the UK is “combating antisemitism”

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The more children Israel kills, the more the official discourse is dominated by the complete fiction that “antisemitism” is a major problem in Israel’s allied countries.

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

CIA document from 1952 outlines how they embarked on programme to promote right-wing Christian currents to clamp down on what was later called "liberation theology" in Latin America.

"The present rather weak and uncoordinated efforts of religious groups to combat Communism should be vigorously reinforced," the CIA noted. "Tremendous advantages to the Western program would ensue if it were possible to persuade all religious groups to unite in a campaign attacking Communism because of the Godlessness inherent in the Marxist doctrine."

It continued: "It is therefore vital, if covert activities are to be effective, that they are carefully concentrated where they can accomplish the most". At the time the CIA complained that "its assets as to personnel and covert mechanisms are not capable of covertly supporting many different and wide-spread activities" in Latin America.

This soon changed - and support for ultra conservative Christian currents in Latin America continues to this day.

One big victim of this operation has been Brazil, where conservative Evangelical and Pentecostal churches have been promoted relentlessly. They were, later, a key element of far-right president Jair Bolsonaro's base - and now his son.

The CIA (and MI6) did exact same in West Asia using, in this case, ultra conservative Wahhabis and Salafis as a bulwark against secular nationalism, socialism and anti-imperialism. Nasser in Egypt was the biggest target of all after he nationalised the Suez Canal in 1956 and the resulting UK/France/Israel invasion failed.

[Steve W @StevenGWalker74]

The only way these figures would make sense is if non/anti-zionist Jewish pupils at Jewish schools are arguing with/criticising zionist Jewish pupils who, as is zionists custom, then claim they're victims of antisemitism.

That would blow apart the reviews antisemitism claims. /2
