Israel went looking for a Red Sea foothold in Somaliland and handed Somalia a sovereignty grievance, Yemen a target warning and Iran all new leverage. Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu’s Red Sea problem has just got nastier, because Israel has recognised Somaliland, breakaway state of Somalia that only Israel recognises and as a result of that Somalia has chosen now, with all the Strait of Hormuz acces...

Like a gold obsessed Zionist vampire, Trump has burned American military depth for Israel and the bill is now landing on the United States. Right, so Donald Trump has chewed through a huge chunk of America’s defensive missile stocks faster than a beaver on ket and all for what? For Israel of course, and now the first bodies are starting to hit the floor in Washington as a result of it. John Phelan...

While Westminster chases Mandelson for sport, Labour is sitting on a live criminal case over the internal route to choosing one of its own MPs. Right, so Keir Starmer’s having a bad one, but if you’re sick to back teeth of Mandelson dominating every single news cycle ad nauseum, then you’ll be pleased to know that so am I, but not only that, there is frankly a much more damaging story going incred...

Israel did not just get caught smashing Christ in Lebanon, it got caught smashing its own lie that it stands as a friend and protector of Christians. Right, so Lebanon and the Israeli atrocities being committed there have been somewhat encapsulated this week by images of an Israeli soldier, who has been photographed smashing up a statue of Jesus on the cross in the southern Lebanese village of Deb...

Hormuz has shown Trump that punishment is not the same thing as control - he has plenty of the first but a rapidly shrinking amount of the second. Right, so to say Donald Trump has been repeatedly and mercilessly punching himself between the legs with regards to Iran these last few days would be an understatement, I would imagine Little Donnie’s Little Donnie must resemble something akin to orange...

Israel’s own media man has said the quiet part out loud about Israeli news reporting: fake news works, truth doesn’t. Right, so Israeli propaganda, hasbara, the government financing of pro Israel talking points which for years has shielded the state from being held to account for its worst excesses, it’s taken a battering in recent years, rightly so, being exposed for what it is, no matter how muc...

Tony Greenstein’s suspension is not just a Green Party row, but a warning that the pressure politics used against Corbyn is now being turned on them. Right, so the Green Party has suspended Tony Greenstein, a Brighton-based Jewish anti-Zionist activist who had only just joined the party, and the wording reportedly used against him was “documented history of antisemitism, including court decisions...

Netanyahu can still threaten and still destroy, but this time he has come out of it looking less obeyed, less protected and far less untouchable. Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu is in a spot of bother, I’m sure it breaks your heart to hear it, because the guy who has always sold himself as Mr invincible, Mr untouchable, practically wearing his underpants on the outside of his trousers such has been h...

Netanyahu keeps reaching for the Bible to glorify war, but once Israel gets hit by a so-called ‘plague’ of bees, the sacred act stops looking so righteous. Right, so back in Old Testament times swarms of bees were seen as a sign of divine wrath and imminent threat, biblical plagues linked to Egypt and the Jewish people are well known too and of course Passover celebrates the culmination of Exodus,...

A real photo of settler abuse got called “antisemitic” — and that tells you far more about Israel’s panic than L’Espresso’s cover. Right, so Italian news magazine L’Espresso has published it’s latest weekly edition and being a news magazine it put a real photograph on its cover as you might imagine it would, hardly unusual is it? And yet that simple act has been enough in and of itself to have Isr...

Trump tried to choke Iran through Hormuz and ended up smashing into his own side’s trade lifeline like the orange halfwit he is. Right, so Donald Trump has instigated a blockade on ships going to and from Iranian ports through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, though the word instigated is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, because what has followed is not...

An Israeli NGO has been caught discussing help for Brits moving into illegal West Bank settlements - with a UK charity and Gift Aid angle added in too... Right, so Declassified UK have been doing some of that investigative journalism type stuff again, an alien concept to mainstream media mouthpieces of course, if they haven’t got their talking points served up to them on a plate all they’re left w...

Trump says he is reopening Hormuz, but all he has really done is put his name to the next round of global trade chaos. Right, so Donald Trump has announced that the United States Navy will blockade the Strait of Hormuz, the same guy who has attacked Iran for apparently blocking it is now going to do so himself, because if you thought he was stupid before, you were giving him too much credit. Stop...

Netanyahu threatened Spain that they would pay a price price, then watched Spain set him fire for Easter! Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu is anything but a happy bunny right now, oh dear, how sad, never mind. Being turned into an Easter Guy Fawkes burned more than just his cheeks I fancy. He has said that Spain would pay an “immediate price” for what he called a diplomatic war against Israel, everyth...

Trump’s team finally got Iran to the table in Pakistan, then blew the talks anyway - but how much of that came from Israel leaning on the US yet again? Right, so JD Vance has walked out of Islamabad after 21 hours of talks with Iran and no deal to show for it, stood in front of the cameras, thanked Pakistan, said Washington had left its “best” and “final” proposal behind, and then tried to talk li...

Israel hit an Iranian synagogue during Passover, and the people who always claim to defend Jews suddenly found other things to talk about. Right, so Israel has hit a synagogue in Tehran during Passover, and the people who are usually first out of the blocks whenever something like this happens, an attack on Jews, an antisemitic strike as it readily gets called, have not exactly been trampling over...

The Greater Israel plan is very much alive and kicking as Bezalel Smotrich gives one of his most insane speeches to date. Right, so Israel’s unhinged far right finance minister Bezalel Smotrich has now said in public that Israel will expand its borders in Gaza, in Lebanon and in Syria, and he didn’t mutter this in some Knesset corridor while pretending later that he had been misunderstood. He said...

Trump threatened a whole civilisation, Starmer hid behind the drapes, then flew out to pose beside the ceasefire once the danger had already passed. Right, so Donald Trump threatened Iran with civilisational destruction and Keir Starmer hid. That is the story of the UK response to Trump’s ultimate threat against Iran which fortunately did not come to pass isn’t it? Trump put out that if Iran did n...

Iran's ceasefire plan gets accepted by trump, vetoed by his boss Netanyahu and Lebanon still pays the price in lives and carnage. Right, so Israel has tugged at Little Donnie’s leash and as a result he’s meekly gone from a position of accepting talks based on Iran’s 10 point plan, to now claiming the very bits Netanyahu didn’t like were never really in it at all, that that version of the Iranian 1...

A ceasefire was announced, Netanyahu tried to carve Lebanon out of it, and Trump has ended up looking weaker than ever. Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu has managed to turn a ceasefire into a public confession. A stop has been announced by both Iran and the Trump administration and as part of the terms agreed, the ceasefire on Iran covers other war fronts too, it covers Lebanon as well. Well, Netanyah...

Trump threatened to wipe out a civilisation, then ended up taking Iran’s terms to Islamabad. Not a leader just a loser. Right, so Donald Trump said a whole civilisation would die that night if Iran did not do what he wanted, and then less than two hours before his own deadline he backed off, took a two-week ceasefire, accepted talks in Islamabad in Pakistan, and called Iran’s proposal a workable b...

Trump issued the ultimatum and Iran sent him back a bill, and a whole list of demands that'll change the Middle East forever. Right, so Donald Trump has thrown down what he wanted treated as a final ultimatum to Iran, threatened to blow up bridges and power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not fully reopened by his deadline, tomorrow at time of writing and Iran has not folded. Iran has sent back...

Haifa got hit, the mayor said the north had been left to cope alone, and Netanyahu’s answer made it all a lot harder to hide. Right, so four people have been killed in Haifa after an Iranian missile strike hit a residential building, Haifa’s mayor, Yona Yahav has then gone public saying the north has been treated like an afterthought, and Benjamin Netanyahu has come in afterwards with a phone call...

A downed US jet over Iran has turned into a contested Isfahan rescue fiasco that has left Trump wearing the bigger humiliation. Right, so rescue one downed crewman, rescued two or was it really a uranium centric ruse? Whatever the truth of the downed F15, who can possibly believe one version of events over another anymore? Donald Trump has ended up neck deep in his own nappies. A US fighter has co...

Reform talks like a revolt, the old-right cruelty with a bigger megaphone, but now the Greens have taken the headline with a decent offer. Right, so Lord Ashcroft has published a new poll and Nigel Farage has finally been handed his backside, because Reform UK’s inexplicable months long lead has finally disappeared. Zack Polanski’s Greens have caught him up and just nudged ahead, Farage as a resul...
