Party leaflet Subscribe to our  channel When the mural in support of Liam Óg/Mo Chara was unveiled in Belfast, Kneecap wrote on Twitter: ‘West Belfast knows political policing. West Belfasts knows colonialism. West Belfast knows solidarity.’ Download this leaflet as a pdf. Kneecap’s lead singer Mo Chara (meaning friend/comrade) is being prosecuted under the Terrorism Act 2000 for raising the flag of Hezbollah, the Lebanese political and military resistance group that has been a thorn in the side of Israel’s expansionist plans for over 40 years. Hezbollah is not active on British soil. But in Britain today, any criticism of...

Posted by: John Phoenix We are being slow-walked into an openly totalitarian regime, while the organised labour movement sits idly by. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel The only way to have unjust laws overturned is to make them unworkable. This vital task cannot be left to conscientious individuals or small groups. Workers must demand that their trade unions and other mass organisations build a campaign of resistance that will force the ruling class into retreat. The news that Palestine Action (PA) has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the British government has been met with fierce opposition from Palestine-supporting workers across the country. Even many left-liberal types seem to be shocked that a non-violent direct-action or...

Posted by: John Phoenix 'Israel' is Guilty of Genocide in Gaza, Says World Body of Genocide Scholars A UN-backed group declared famine in Gaza. (Photo: social media, via QNN) By Palestine Chronicle Staff   “Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity as defined in international humanitarian law and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court,” the resolution also declared. The world’s leading organization of scholars studying genocide has passed a resolution declaring that Israel’s “policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition” of genocide. The resolution, supported by 86 percent of those who voted in the 500-member International  Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), referre...

Posted by: John Phoenix CBC News, YouTube screenshot. Anyone who has doubted the Chomsky-Herman propaganda model of mass media has surely had their skepticism tested over the past twenty-two months. The axiom that media “serve to mobilize support for the special interests that dominate the state” by distorting or suppressing facts is nowhere more evident than in Western reporting on Gaza. Likewise, the model’s depiction of “worthy” versus “unworthy” victims – portraying “murderous aggression as a defense of freedom” – perfectly encapsulates mainstream coverage of Israel’s indiscriminate killing of Palestinian civilians. Consent for this barbarity could not have been manufactured without the uniform complicity of a pliant press. Public media should provide a corrective to corpora...

Posted by: John Phoenix Israel’s justification for the mass slaughter of Gaza’s people and their starvation – now officially confirmed as a famine engineered by Israel – was built on a parade of easily discredited lies from the start: of beheaded infants, of babies in ovens, of mass rape. It should surprise no one that Israel continued advancing similarly outrageous lies as it set about – as all genocidal regimes must do – dismantling the most basic infrastructure of survival for Gaza’s population. It cut off humanitarian aid delivered by the United Nations agency Unrwa, and destroyed the enclave’s hospitals, while killing, jailing and torturing its medical personnel. Israel claimed it had documents proving the UN was a front for Hamas – documents&...

Posted by: John Phoenix While the focus of world attention has turned away from Gaza to the attack by Israel on Iran and Iran’s determined and powerful response, there is still no let-up in Israel’s war on Gaza or in the Palestinian resistance. Israel continues to perpetrate barbarities Between January and May 2025, the World Health Organisation documented 76 attacks on healthcare facilities in Gaza, reflecting severe threats to medical infrastructure. The number of functional hospitals decreased from 20 to 17 between May 24 and June 11, with some, including Al-Awda, Jabalia and Haifa hospitals, becoming non-operational owing to intensified fighting and insecurity. Community-level medical points (GP polyclinics, essentially) also declined from 144 to 126, and all hospital...
