Philip Proudfoot: The Israelis have zero right…

The Israelis have zero right under any article of international law to openly seize a significant band of Lebanese sovereign territory. This is completely illegal and that they feel they can do this is the direct result of months and months of Western-facilitated impunity.

Philip Proudfoot: Keir Starmer wants us to believe…

Keir Starmer wants us to believe an inquiry into why he appointed Mandelson, friend of pedophile Jeffery Epstein, is a “political stunt” But claiming a political opponent is “unfit to lead a party” because he retweeted a post questioning police violence is normal and sane.

“Globalise the intifada” targets the international military-industrial-political system that makes the Gaza genocide possible. Starmer claims it a call to “murder Jews,” in so doing he is conflating Jews with Israel, a core antisemitic trope.

Philip Proudfoot: I can’t think of any reason...

I can’t think of any reason why the British government would cut funding to a unit of its own foreign office that’s monitoring violations of IHL by Israel, with whom they sell weapons, provide intelligence, and award diplomatic cover.

Philip Proudfoot: Whenever heads of state have to comment on…

Whenever heads of state have to comment on, or meet Trump, I think a lot about something @ByYourLogic said about the US president. Trump is the result of all the American stupids finding their ultimate form — the most Stupid of the Stupids — and then making him their king. Then, as king, world leaders are forced into a kind of ritual humiliation, where they must bow before the stupid. Act as if he’s not stupid. Subjugate themselves before the stupid. Share tips on how to placate the stupid. Give the stupid gifts and trinkets. Ensure they avoid his wrath. Anyway, just think that’s very accurate.

Philip Proudfoot: Israel has destroyed the final bridge…

Israel has destroyed the final bridge to Southern Lebanon. There is now no way for millions of displaced people to reach their homes. There is no means for essential aid and supplies to reach those who were unable to flee. Another mammoth war crime, another act of barbarity.

Philip Proudfoot: The problem with Labour claiming Iran…

The problem with Labour claiming Iran is “not our war” is that it separates out the impunity they encouraged, facilitated, and aided when Israel assaulted Palestine and Lebanon, but now try to claim this is disconnected from the world they helped birth. This IS their war.

Philip Proudfoot: Hardly “a return to the rules based order”…

Hardly “a return to the rules based order” if the new Prime Minister of Hungary is inviting a head of state with an ICC arrest warrant.

Philip Proudfoot: After the entire world has watched Israel commit a genocide…

After the entire world has watched Israel commit a genocide, and then its defenders used the false anti-semitism smear to try and silence those utterly disgusted at the relentless brutality, I don’t think, Steve, this absolute garbage is going to work anymore.
