The US and Israel are building up military activity in the Middle East https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-israel-is-ramping-up-its-war-on-terror/ but are failing to address the roots of the problem https://www.patternsofpower.org/conflict-in-gaza/
The IDF has admitted lying about, and trying to hide, the killing of medics in Gaza. Its response is woefully inadequate. This has damaged the reputation of the Israeli leadership and must have increased Palestinian hatred of them https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c24q6201d8yo
Palestinian children are the victims of Netanyahu’s strategy of starving Gaza https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/we-are-breaking-bodies-minds-children-gaza-says-who-executive-director-2025-05-01/
Israel may seize all Gaza in expanded operation, officials say https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-cabinet-approves-expansion-gaza-offensive-broadcaster-kan-reports-2025-05-05/. Ethnic cleansing is a war crime. Netanyahu’s actions are generating hatred that will put all Jews at risk worldwide.
It is not anti-Semitic to criticise war crimes. The Israeli government is committing genocide whilst escaping criticism from western governments. Now China is drawing attention to this western moral failure https://www.scmp.com/opinion/article/3309917/western-world-has-already-dug-its-own-grave-gaza-war
Netanyahu’s conduct of the war in Gaza has brought Israel and its supporters into disrepute, so it's appropriate that Donald Trump has given him the cold shoulder this week: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/12/middleeast/israel-trump-middle-east-intl
Trump is helping Israel commit war crimes in Gaza by impeding the ICC prosecution of Netanyahu: https://www.lbc.co.uk/world-news/british-icc-chief-prosecutor-lost-email-bank-accounts-frozen-trump-sanctions/ And he has recently repeated his wish to take over the enclave to develop it as a tourist resort. He has no moral compass.
Netanyahu only starts to let aid into Gaza after pressure from countries that have been supporting him up to now. He should never have embarked on collective punishment of innocent children https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-gaza-war-netanyahu-faces-sanctions-threat-palestinians-starvation/
Netanyahu has been fuelling global antisemitism by starving the children of Gaza. He has now had the gall to depict the leaders of Britain France and Canada as antisemitic because they have criticised his actions https://news.sky.com/story/netanyahu-launches-attack-on-starmer-macron-and-carney-after-embassy-shooting-13372966
Israel is ethnic cleansing in both Gaza and the West Bank. This contravenes international law and is strategically unwise: giving Palestinians even more reason to hate Jews and feeding global anti-Semitism https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1j5954edlno
Trump is finding it hard to position Israel’s Iran strikes. Is he trying to put Iran under pressure after expiry of his 60-day deadline, or was it solely Israel’s decision? Was Israel trying to disrupt Trump’s talks? https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-says-it-strikes-iran-amid-nuclear-tensions-2025-06-13/
Netanyahu hasn’t learnt from his failures with Palestinians. He has no way of achieving his military objective in Iran, its regime will work even harder to make bombs, and its population will unify against the attacker https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c79e233j2gro
Trump is undecided on whether to join Israel in its war against Iran, and whether to try to stop the latter from making a nuclear bomb. His MAGA supporters are divided on the issue, but regional peace should be the only consideration https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1wp72224jzo
Trump has aligned himself with Israel’s strategy by bombing Iran. It will not long delay Iran’s work on a nuclear bomb –and will motivate it to accelerate. And it brings great risk of increased regional conflict https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-under-missile-attack-iran-says-all-options-open-after-us-strikes-2025-06-22/
Israel's murder of civilians in Gaza is terrorism: trying to frighten them into leaving their country. Palestine Action is doing criminal damage and embarrassing the government, but isn’t terrifying anyone https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn81g4e0nlyo
Trump, having done what Netanyahu had asked for in bombing Iran, has now been able to demand a pause in that war. He should now pressurise Netanyahu to declare a ceasefire in Gaza and allow food aid to be delivered https://www.axios.com/2025/06/24/trump-israel-iran-ceasefire-violation
Trump was delighted by Hegseth’s prematurely triumphalist claim that it is unpatriotic for Americans to doubt the success of the US bombing of Iran – but the public will be unforgiving if problems with Iran continue https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20rd30l7l3o
The Israeli- and US-backed ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ (GHF) is not fit for purpose. 500 deaths and 4000 wounded in a month, as starving people seek food. Netanyahu and Trump have blood on their hands https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/1/charities-urge-shutdown-of-us-and-israel-backed-gaza-aid-group
The IDF’s words ring hollow. They lied about an earlier strike on a clearly lit ambulance. They have already killed more than 500 people seeking food. They are committing genocide https://news.sky.com/story/idf-blames-technical-error-after-gaza-officials-say-children-collecting-water-killed-in-strike-13396138
Netanyahu is trying to weaken neighbouring countries. He thinks that will make him safe from attack, but it will merely increase hostility towards Israel (and towards Jews worldwide). And he’s upsetting his allies https://www.axios.com/2025/07/20/israel-syria-strikes-trump-netanyahu-divide
Israel rejects international criticism of its behaviour in Gaza, calling the statement 'disconnected from reality' for failing to blame Hamas – but its own strategy is unrealistic without a credible plan for peace https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-france-23-other-nations-condemn-israel-over-inhumane-killing-civilians-2025-07-21/
The Israeli government is starving children in Gaza. It throttles the distribution of food and fires on those who try to reach what little there is – yet it rejects criticism and blames Hamas https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/23/middleeast/gaza-starving-killed-israel-while-seeking-aid-intl
Trump is trying to put pressure on Hamas, abandoning talks and threatening to crush it. That has never worked. A peace process, recognising Palestinian human rights, is the only way that Israel can ever be secure https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crrqrz857wgo
There is confused thinking. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/palestine-action-wins-bid-challenge-uk-ban-under-anti-terrorism-laws-2025-07-30/
THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE ALL TRUE:
Hamas are terrorists.
Support for Palestinian civilians is a valid protest against Israel’s war crimes.
Damage to property is criminal.
Peaceful protest is lawful.
Trump wants to end the war in Gaza. His credibility as a peacemaker is at stake, so hopefully he will bring Netanyahu and Hamas to heel and focus on the essential requirement for a Palestinian State https://www.axios.com/2025/08/02/witkoff-hostage-families-trump-deal-gaza-war
Netanyahu’s plan for full occupation of Gaza, a war crime, would be fiercely opposed by Arab States. It would further increase hatred towards Israel. And it would prolong the war. Where is Trump, the self-styled peacemaker? https://www.euronews.com/2025/08/04/netanyahu-says-decision-made-for-full-occupation-of-gaza
The UN has justifiably condemned Israel’s plans to prolong the war in Gaza. Only the US supported Israel – showing Trump to be a warmonger who is uninterested in peace negotiations and Palestinian rights https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yll33v9gwo
Israel’s plans to resettle Gaza’s population clearly show that ethnic cleansing is its goal. It isn't seeking to live peacefully with Palestinians. Maximum international pressure is needed to make it change course https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/13/middleeast/israel-in-talks-to-resettle-palestinians-from-gaza-in-south-sudan-ap-intl
Many Israelis want peace but Netanyahu wants war. He can weaken Hamas but he cannot suppress the Palestinian fight for justice which has continued for decades. He’s repeatedly tried and failed. He should be overthrown https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israelis-stage-nationwide-protests-demand-end-gaza-war-release-hostages-2025-08-17/
President Macron, together with the leaders of Egypt and Jordan, is now planning to pursue “the only credible way forward”: a “two-state solution”
BUT NETANYAHU WILL TRY TO STOP IT
