DIANE ABBOTT explodes the anti-migrant myths perpetrated by cynical politicians and an irresponsible mass media

ALEX KARP, the CEO of Palantir, the US military spyware company used by Israel in its targeted bombings of Gaza and which has been awarded a contract with the NHS, wants to see campus opposition to Israel’s brutal and relentless attack on Palestinians snuffed out.
Karp has described the college encampments in support of the bombed and beleaguered Palestinians murdered by Israeli forces as “a pagan religion infecting our universities.”
With Karp now fully in league with Trump insiders, it is no surprise, therefore, to see a flurry of recent arrests — and, in at least one case so far, deportation — of pro-Palestine students and faculty at leading US universities.

For 80 years, survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings have pleaded “never again,” for anyone. But are we listening, asks Linda Pentz Gunter

Starmer’s decision to recognise Palestine only as long as Israel continues to massacre its inhabitants has been met with outrage, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER

The crew of the Freedom Flotilla boat, Handala, warned Israel to obey international law but are now in captivity, reports LINDA PENTZ GUNTER

Waves of protesters are refusing to comply with the latest crackdowns on dissent, but the penalties are higher in Starmer’s Labour Britain than in Trump’s autocratic United States, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
