Don’t work as a doctor in Gaza or you’re a terrorist. Don’t work as a journalist in Gaza or you’re a terrorist. Don’t send money to Gaza or you’re a terrorist. Don’t sail to Gaza or you’re a terrorist. Don’t speak about Gaza or you’re a terrorist.

They called the Vietnamese resistance fanatical.

They called the Iraqi resistance fanatical.

They called the Afghan resistance fanatical.

They called the Iranian revolutionaries fanatical.

They called the Palestinian resistance fanatical.

They have called every organized resistance to American military and political power, in every country, across eight decades, fanatical.

At what point does a pattern this consistent stop being a description of the people being labeled and start being a description of the labeler?

Fanaticism means: belief so extreme it has disconnected from rational motivation.

But the rational motivation is always there.

It is always visible.

It is always documented.

It is: you are here, in my country, with guns. I want you to leave.

That is not fanaticism.

That is the most basic political logic in human history.

The word "fanaticism" is what power reaches for when it refuses to follow that logic to its obvious source.

Which is: the guns.

Which is: the presence.

Which is: the empire itself.

Andy Burnham believes Israel “MAY” have committed war crimes.

[Tom Hatfield @WordMercenary]

Absolutely meaningless for Labour to apologise over the Gaza genocide while they're still literally holding people in prison for opposing it.

[Asa Winstanley @AsaWinstanley]

Andy Burnham is desperate to win back Labour voters over Gaza. But his deceptive statement actually promises no concrete change in policy. Arms to Israel will continue. Intelligence to Israel will continue. Palestine Action will stay banned. The Israel lobby will still dominate.

British Museum colludes with pro-Israel lobby to erase Palestine from historical exhibits
——
An investigation by Middle East Eye has exposed the British Museum for covertly removing the terms “Palestine,” “Palestinian,” and “Israeli occupation” from its historical displays following intensive lobbying by pro-Israel activists. Internal emails obtained via a freedom of information request reveal that the London institution rapidly altered descriptions of artifacts dating back to 7,500 BCE to appease political pressure groups, including the Board of Deputies of British Jews and high-profile figures.

While museum director Nick Cullinan publicly claimed the changes were part of a standard curation refresh and backed by audience testing, the newly released disclosures confirm that no visitor research regarding the term "Palestine" was ever conducted.

The internal correspondence details a frantic effort by museum staff to pacify complaints lodged between October and December 2024, with one directive explicitly ordering curators to remain hyper-conscious of the anniversary of 7 October. In one instance, a panel describing ancient rulers of “Palestinian descent” was scrubbed and changed to “Canaanite origin” within five hours of receiving a complaint from the Board of Deputies.

Middle East Eye cross-referenced the redacted emails to identify key lobbyists, including right-wing commentators and historians who weaponized access to the museum's leadership to argue that historical references to an ancient Israelite occupation would stoke modern antisemitism.

The targeted erasure has sparked a severe diplomatic and cultural backlash, with Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Husam Zumlot accusing the public institution of betraying its historical integrity to serve political ends. Cultural figures and human rights defenders have condemned the museum for complicity in what the United Nations classifies as an ongoing genocide in Gaza, noting that the bureaucratic deletion of Palestinian history in London directly mirrors the physical destruction of heritage sites on the ground.

Despite photographic evidence showing that references to "modern Palestine" were replaced with "Gaza and the West Bank" at gallery entrances, the British Museum has refused to answer specific inquiries, issuing a blanket denial to Middle East Eye that any erasure took place.

[Novara Media @novaramedia]

Andy Burnham has already come under fire for selecting a pro-Israel corporate lobbyist as his chief of staff.

And now Novara Media can reveal that an advisor to the man likely to become Britain's next prime minister has a record of discriminating against staff trying to unionise.

Andy Haldane should not be “anywhere near a government that claims to stand for working people”, according to the Independent Workers’ of Great Britain union.

[Novara Media @novaramedia]

Britain's likely next prime minister, Andy Burnham, has made his pick for the highly influential role of chief of staff: a pro-Israel lobbyist who until recently led a firm representing arms companies, private water firms and tech giants.

James Purnell has stepped down as CEO of Flint Global to accept the appointment to Burnham’s team.

Flint does not publish a client list, but its website says it represents firms in the so-called defence sector, and EU transparency records show Google, Microsoft, Apple, BP and Uber among its clients.

Another client is Thames Water, the private utility that has received record-breaking fines for polluting British rivers with raw sewage. Purnell’s appointment therefore raises doubts about Burnham’s previous assertion that Thames Water should be nationalised.

Flint has also advised the mining firm Glencore, which has been accused of corruption and severe human rights abuses in Colombia. The company is alleged to have backed paramilitaries who committed a massacre to drive people from their land to enable mine expansion.

Like Burnham, Purnell voted for the invasion of Iraq and against investigations into it. He was a member of Tony Blair’s cabinet and chaired the pro-Zionist lobby group Labour Friends of Israel between 2002 and 2004. Burnham joined the group in 2015.

“It seems it’s out with the old and in with the old,” Green party leader Zack Polanski told openDemocracy. “What is it about this Labour government that is so keen on bringing in corporate lobbyists into the heart of Downing Street?”

He added: “This is starting to feel like a bit of a Blair and Starmer tribute act, with Labour Together’s Josh Simons also expected to have a senior role.”

Labour Together, which Simons led between 2022 and 2024, was a key vehicle in getting Keir Starmer elected. It has been accused of smearing journalists critical of the Starmer project.

Polanski said more transparency around Flint Global’s clients was vital if Purnell was going to take a senior role in government.

“So there can be no suspicion that James Purnell – a tireless campaigner for welfare cuts – is putting the interests of his clients above those of the people he’s supposed to serve, a full list of Flint Global’s clients must be published.”

This man just overthrew the Prime Minister.

But did you know that two weeks before Andy Burnham's by-election victory, Labour Together received a £125,000 donation?

Their former director, Josh Simons, is in line for a top job at No. 10.
