In the spirit of the 40 beheaded babies, the baby in the oven, the babies and children hanged in a row on a clothesline, the babies cut from their mothers' wombs (in reality an old IDF trick in Lebanon), the mass rapes, and David Lammy's "raped babies", it has been put about that no female Israeli hostage survived to be released from Gaza. That is totally false. The women and children are not being released now, because they were released months ago. Only men were still held until this week. But yes, Hamas does need to produce the remains of those dead hostages. Yesterday alone, Israel handed over the bodies of 52 Palestinians who had died since their capture after 7 October 2023.
Israel kept to the ceasefire for only a few hours, but it will not be deemed to have been breached unless or until someone dared to fire back. Of course collaborators in Gaza are being dealt with as collaborators always are, and of course they and the organised crime families are the same people; again, what is unusual about that? See also the detritus that accrues to Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the verdict in whose trial has been delayed from yesterday until 4 November because today, he will travel to Israel as a guest of its Government. District Judge Sam Goozee should not only have refused that one, but remanded Yaxley-Lennon for his brass neck and told everyone to be back in court this morning for his verdict and for sentencing.
Even without the kowtowing to a foreign state, bail in a terrorism trial? The terrorism trial of a man with at least one home abroad, with at least one foreign passport, and with a record of entering another friendly state illegally? A man who, through his counsel, had told the court that he intended to leave the country the next day? What? While Craig Murray was charged with contempt of court, the judge removed his passport to stop him from flying to Spain to testify in the trial arising out of Sheldon and Miriam Adelson's payment for the surveillance of Julian Assange. Two-tier justice, indeed.
The migrant crisis very largely goes back to the war in Libya, and the true motivations of that have been at least partly exposed by the conviction of Nicolas Sarkozy. Since Yaxley-Lennon is an EU citizen, would it be absolutely impossible for him and Sarkozy to share a cell? There must be some way of making that happen. There simply has to be. And while I strongly agree with Jacob Rees-Mogg and Peter Hitchens that the Home Secretary ought not to have the power to strip people of their British citizenship, she does have it, and unlike Shamima Begum, Yaxley-Lennon holds another nationality. Either in Israel or in prison, why should he not be stripped of his British one?
If Yaxley-Lennon never came back to these shores, then he might move in with Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman. Today is the deadline for them to pay back the £122 million that they stole from the rest of us. Unexplained wealth orders are long overdue. With effect from midnight tonight, let them be joined by international arrest warrants.
“The Palestinian Authority on Tuesday night condemned recent Hamas summary executions of Palestinians in Gaza as “heinous crimes” and urged a return of “legitimate” Palestinian leadership to stem the chaos roiling the Strip amid the ceasefire with Israel.
ReplyDelete“While the PA strongly denounced the executions, US President Donald Trump appeared to downplay the terror group’s crackdown, saying the killings “didn’t bother me much.” On Sunday, returning to the US from Israel and Egypt, he told reporters he had approved Hamas playing a temporary policing role in Gaza.”

He is many things, but he is not squeamish.
DeleteUnder the Gaza deal, Israel is to hand over 15 bodies of Palestinians for each deceased Israeli captive. Most media outlets never mention that, for decades, Israel has had a policy of holding the bodies of deceased Palestinians and denying them burial. Hundreds of bodies.
ReplyDeleteTo add to that, this was originally a British policy, not an Israeli one. The Israelis uphold British colonial martial law. That includes withholding bodies, demolishing homes, kidnapping people without charge or trial (administrative detention), and more.
Yet they maintain that they are not colonists.
DeleteThe biggest story in Britain today is that of an undertaker who did something like this. We revile him, as well we should, but not a whole state like that.
It was all over the press that Tommy Robinson’s arrest in the Channel Tunnel was “discriminatory” because of his political views, his barrister argues. The case is at Westminster Magistrates’ Court and will be heard in November. While a win would set a useful precedent, it is unlikely.
ReplyDeleteThe law (Schedule 7, Terrorism Act 2000) allows police to stop anyone at a port to check whether they are concerned in acts of terrorism. They can interrogate you without a solicitor present and require you to unlock your phone for inspection; the offence is refusal to answer questions or unlock, and there is no mitigation for that refusal. Similar arguments — for example, that someone is an independent journalist or political activist with sensitive material on their phone — have been tested in court before and lost. The 2016 case of Muhammad Rabbani, managing director of CAGE, is a well-known example: he refused to provide passwords to his devices and was convicted under Schedule 7, establishing the precedent.
Is it unfair, a fishing expedition, a means of instilling fear? Yes, that is not news. The European Court has ruled that Schedule 7 is not fully compatible with the ECHR, yet you do not see the judiciary or politicians pushing for meaningful reform, because the law is enforced based on what suits them, not us.
What is the practical solution? Do not travel through ports or airports with anything you would not want read by the thought police. If you must move data securely, use the internet.
Why the fuss over Tommy Robinson, though? A man with a record who has posted openly about acquiring drugs, driving a Bentley Bentayga not registered in his name, and carrying more than £13,000. Politics aside, you easily can see why an unscrupulous copper could use and abuse the powers open to him to find out more information.
This is a generalisation, but based on the individual accounts we have collected over the years, they will stop anyone online who tries to preserve their anonymity. We figure this is a “what have they got to hide?” kind of thinking. In particular, anyone who participates in online groups where certain types of discussions may take place — whether serious or humorous — or those who know a guy who knows a guy, and anyone who has visited a country the state has had a fall-out with.
Why? Because they like to cast a wide net, gather as much information as possible, and hopefully scoop up someone for an entirely online, inflated “public order” or “terror” offence. This instills more fear, and reduces real political activism. People who do not engage in such groups or hang around with those networks are generally not stopped.
Generally, if you are a legitimate, face-out political activist who is not involved in anything else, they don’t bother stopping you because you won’t have what they want, and they know all you will do is give them verbal abuse and post about it online.
What I am saying here can change to a degree overnight, because the law allows them to stop who they like. Appeals will not stop it. The only way to change the law is by acquiring political power and getting Parliament to vote on it.
Indeed.
DeleteOn what is ostensibly one side, where were they for Muhammad Rabbani? On what is ostensibly the other, why are they not calling for the implementation of a ruling of the European Court of Human Rights?
Yaxley-Lennon has arrived in Israel for what he calls his "state visit". Only one man was waiting for him at the airport, Avi Yemini of Rebel News. Yemini is a convicted wife beater.
ReplyDeleteAnd an Australian-Israeli with Canadian connections. The Nationalist International strikes again. Yemini was one of its many luminaries to have been granted visas by Yvette Cooper to address Unite the Kingdom. Which Kingdom, exactly?
DeleteAs the saying goes, the Palestinians cease and the Israelis fire.
ReplyDeletePer CNN, the refrigerated bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel all arrived with cuffed hands and legs, and were unnamed. Some still wore blindfolds with gunshot wounds, while others had been run over by tanks. That's CNN's way of reporting that Israel had executed them.
In March, Trump said of Hamas, "Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!" Estimates of the number of bodies of deceased Palestinians that Israel is currently holding range from 600-720+. Israel has been holding the body of Anis Dawla, a Palestinian who died while on hunger strike in an Israeli prison in 1980, for 45 years, despite his family pleading for it to be returned.
If Robert Bush were a country.
DeleteA man has been freed from Israeli torture camps minus one leg and both eyes. He had them when he went in. Can you imagine if an Israeli hostage came back missing both eyes and a leg?
ReplyDelete400 trials needed for the 2000 Palestine Action defendants, the judge had to sit next to the vicar lady today so she could plead not guilty while deaf, the world is laughing at us.
Mahmoud Abu Foul. He is only 28.
DeleteYes, and right here in Britain, the people are laughing at the elite.
He's on Channel 4 News right now, it's doing a good job on the story of freed Palestinians and dead bodies showing obvious signs of torture.
DeleteAnd they interviewed Arab Barghouti, who did his father proud.
DeleteThe Israelis are currently holding the corpses of over 700 Palestinian prisoners including over 50 children. How do 50 children die in detention?
ReplyDeleteYou would have to keep your ear to the ground, as I do, but we may be about to find out in heartbreaking detail.
DeleteFreed after two years in Gaza, Nimrod Cohen told his father that food dwindled when aid was blocked in March – and after Monday’s reunion, Yehuda Cohen said “those responsible, primarily the prime minister,” must step aside.

Netanyahu starved everyone, including his own people who were being held hostage.
DeleteSecurity services in Gaza publicly executed Israel’s collaborators, who were recruited and used by the Israeli military to:
ReplyDelete▪️steal aid
▪️attack starving aid seekers
▪️destabilise internal front
▪️monopolise goods
▪️damage medical aid
▪️blackmail people
▪️kidnap resistance fighters
As MAGA would say, FAFO.
DeleteI could not be further from condoning such an approach, which is how these things always turn out.
6 million?
ReplyDeleteSix million what?
