Nearly two decades after leaving office, the former PM is still trumpeting the same futile militarism and failed free market dogmas. The question naturally arises: why does anyone still listen to him, says ANDREW MURRAY
THE refusal of Britain’s political class to call for a ceasefire in Israel’s all-out assault on Palestinian civilians is one of the greatest and most shameful episodes in modern British history.
According to Unicef, 420 Palestinian children are being killed every day in Gaza. Around 10,000 people have already been killed, including 5,000 children.
More are trapped under rubble, dying or already dead, but not counted in official totals, as neighbours try and often fail to dig them out by hand, lacking any kind of heavy equipment and still under bombardment.
The Met Police's refusal to act against British nationals accused of war crimes in Gaza is a green light for Israel's genocide, writes CLAUDIA WEBBE
The catastrophe unfolding in Gaza – where Palestinians are freezing to death in tents – is not a natural disaster but a calculated outcome of Israel’s ongoing blockade, aid restrictions and continued violence, argues CLAUDIA WEBBE
For those in the West, hunger is often just the familiar feeling of a growling stomach between meals — in Gaza, it has become a strategic weapon of slow, systematic and deadly destruction, writes MARC VANDEPITTE
Israel’s monopolisation of ‘aid’ to slaughter Palestinians means there is no other option: direct international intervention now, says CLAUDIA WEBBE
