Modern Israel is the ultimate, most enduring exhibit in “Palmerston’s Zoo.” Palmerston used Mazzini’s nationalism to fragment empires in the 19th century; Zionism was the 20th-century extension of that same British imperial strategy.
Lord Palmerston was one of the earliest British statesmen to actively support Jewish settlement in Palestine—in the 1840s, precisely when he was orchestrating the rest of the “zoo” in Europe.
The “Three Stooges” of Palmerston’s policy—the Italian nationalist Giuseppe Mazzini, the French Emperor Napoleon III, and the Scottish anti-Russian agitator David Urquhart—were his instruments for fragmenting Europe. Palestine was just another cage in the same zoo.
It wasn’t religious sentiment; it was geostrategy: a British-controlled client community near the Suez Canal and the routes to India.
The Balfour Declaration was the mature fruit of Palmerston’s approach—Britain planting a colonial outpost in the heart of the collapsing Ottoman Empire, disguised as a national home for the Jews.
Israel functions as a strategic “theme park”: a militarily powerful but politically dependent state whose existence keeps the entire region in controlled chaos, fragmenting any potential Arab or Muslim unity that might threaten Anglo-American dominance over oil and trade routes.
Israel is Palmerston’s longest-running experiment: a state created by imperial design, maintained by imperial power, and whose continued function is to serve as a permanent source of regional instability that justifies endless Western intervention.
After 1945, the United States inherited the zoo from a declining Britain, which is why American support for Israel remains so automatic and bipartisan—it’s not just about lobbying; it’s about an imperial habit embedded in the Anglosphere’s DNA.
BREAKING: Rep. DeGette gets heated with a constituent pressing her on why she voted to send bombs to Israel:
"If this the only issue that you care about is this issue, then you should not vote for me"
DeGette, who's 68, is facing a primary challenge from @MelatKirosCO.
🚨 Settlers expel Palestinian community, IDF enforces the ethnic cleansing
The Bedouin community Khalet as-Sidra near Mukhmas was expelled by the settlers of the outposts Kol Mevasser and Sde Yonatan, and then the IDF enforced the ethnic cleansing by blocking the road to the remains of the village. The settlers now moved in to launching regular pogroms on the town of Mukhmas itself.
CNN admits it was the US not Israel that killed 150 Iranian school girls on the first day of the war. It was a double tap, they also killed their parents who were trying to rescue them.
Jeffrey Sachs: “Israel is a crazy rogue state with the half its political leadership in the mindset of the fifth century BC. Israel has just plunged the world into probably THE THIRD WORLD WAR but into a phenomenal economic crisis...”
We are finally publishing the results of over a year of investigative work. We infiltrated two Israeli settlements, interviewed Palestinian workers and shepherds, traced the streams of foreign funding, to expose Israel's energy apartheid in the West Bank.
Most importantly, this investigation is actionable. There is a list of complicit companies at the end.
London Gestapo Police. Imagine living in a world where you could get arrested , suspended or beat up for saying don't kill children, because it might hurt the feelings of the killers.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Do you remember him?
The hero, Dr. Hossam Abu Safieh — Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital — a historical legend shaped by days of pain and powerful stands.
They besieged him, injured him, hunted him, and threatened him.
They executed his son — the apple of his eye — just to force him to evacuate Kamal Adwan Hospital.
He buried his son in the hospital courtyard… and refused to abandon his patients.
He returned to fulfill his professional and national duty.
He even refused to leave Gaza, despite holding another nationality for himself and his family.
He stood firm with a strength greater than mountains.
A kind heart.
An icon of resilience and integrity.
They arrested and tortured him after his voice went hoarse pleading to a deaf world — right up to the last moment.
Free Hossam Abu Safieh.
An installation in a courtyard in Brescia, Italy has filled the space with thousands of white fabric strips, each carrying the handwritten names of the twenty thousand children killed in Gaza.
Parents, teachers and children from thirty nine early childhood services spent weeks preparing the work, aiming to make the scale of the loss visible and impossible to ignore.
Organisers say the project is meant to counter any attempt to reduce these deaths to statistics, emphasising that each name represents a life cut short, and that every child’s name represents a life erased by Israeli forces, not a number in a report.
I met Omar Eid in Qalqilya, in the West Bank, while filming a story for the Austraian TV about settler attacks. He wanted to read poem for us, and I told him I’d make him famous. Please listen to Omar’s poem, and help make him known. And the poem says:
All your armies,
All your fighters,
All your tanks,
All your soldiers,
Against a boy
Holding stones,
Standing there all alone.
In his eyes, I see the sun;
In his smile, I see the moon.
And I wondered, I only wondered , who’s weak, who’s strong,
Who’s right and who’s wrong.
And I wish, I truly wish, that the truth only has a tongue.
I can't get enough of Andrey. As bright and as brave as they come. Wish there were thousands of like-minded Israelis like him, protecting Palestinians across the West Bank.
“In Gaza, I was not fully prepared for what I saw; one can’t be,” said Andrew Saberton, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)’s Deputy Executive Director for Management.
“The sheer extent of the devastation looked like the set of a dystopian film,” he told reporters, adding that “premature and low-birth-weight babies now make up around 70 percent of newborns in Gaza, where most hospitals have been damaged or destroyed.
