Right, so the internet's latest whodunit is spinning out a tale of possible Israeli involvement in the recent Spanish rail crash, and so much so, the demands for Israeli influence and involvement in Spain’s rail industry have returned to the fore. The railway workers of Spain are trying to reinstate their old demand to kick out the Israeli-affiliated security contractor you see. According to La Vo...

Right, so Zack Polanski’s old leadership rival has gone on the BBC to warn that the Green Party is heading in the wrong direction. Adrian Ramsay, the former co-leader whom members decisively rejected in last year’s leadership election, and the human equivalent of magnolia paint now wants their chosen leader to change course. Apparently an election he lost has come with an advisory role one year la...

Right, so, the Chief Rabbi of Thailand is no longer welcome in Thailand, where Chabad runs its centres, and where Yosef Chaim Kantor, the head of Chabad, has been keeping half the Thai bureaucracy up at night with his Israeli connections. Kantor, an American-born rabbi who has been working there for more than thirty years, has now been declared persona non grata. When Prime Minister Anutin Charnvi...

Right, so campaigners have taken the revolt against Israel’s arms supply to the gates of Tilbury docks. They’re asking British port workers to join an international campaign to stop weapons reaching Israel. A solidarity event was also advertised at Liverpool’s Albert Dock. The International Transport Workers’ Federation announced strikes and demonstrations across more than a hundred ports in seven...

Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu’s opponents have spent this election trying to get rid of him. I cannot imagine why. The votes come in, his bloc falls short of a majority, and Palestinian parties emerge with enough seats to help put someone else in office. You might think that would be welcome news in the opposition camp. Hmm not so much. They’d have to talk to the Palestinians you see, and God forbi...

Right, so, Aleksandar Vučić has conceded defeat to Serbia’s student-backed movement in their recent elections. And while people were celebrating in Belgrade, the result left Benjamin Netanyahu with a nasty little problem: his Balkan ammunition supplier was heading for a change of management. Nobody has announced that the weapons supplies are stopping. But according to Defence News’s report out tod...

Right, so when I last covered Israel’s growing problem in Thailand, officials were investigating Chabad House in Patong, a Jewish religious and community centre in Phuket. There were questions about the building, how parts of it were being used and the business arrangements associated with it. Since then, the scrutiny has reached Bangkok. On 8 October, investigators searched three locations and fo...

Right, so the Green Party debated whether Zionism is racism, put it to a vote, and adopted that position as party policy. Members had their say. Conference made its decision. But Norwich’s Green leadership has publicly opposed it. Shame on them, who knew they only felt that party policy and member led decisions were advisory, and now a Green councillor who played a significant role in getting that...

Right, so Israel is about to get a shipping headache that not even a truckload of paracetamol can fix, as organisers gleefully announce that dockworkers plan to throw a spanner in the works at over 100 ports across 17 countries and four continents on Friday, 30 October. USB union, also the world's busiest event planner, has released the figures. Not every port will close; some will limp along, whi...

Right so The Board of Deputies of British Jews has slapped the Greens with a big red ‘racist’ label – quite literally - and Greens for Palestine, along with a great many commentators have responded by hauling the Board’s own dirty knickers up the flagpole for everyone to admire. “Laughable and disgusting,” says G4P. Now, there’s a reason this response goes straight for the organisation making the...

Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu’s former defence minister Avigdor Lieberman is demanding a treason investigation, accusing Bibi of trying to drag Israel into war to escape an electoral defeat, and the man reportedly challenging Netanyahu’s instructions is his own army chief, Eyal Zamir. Israel votes tomorrow. Netanyahu’s bloc is short of a majority in the final polls we’re looking at, and he’s spent...

Right, so Netanyahu has started emptying Palestinian neighbourhoods in Hebron, and there’s a rather awkward problem with his explanation, his justification. The Jerusalem Post asked Israeli military sources what connected the people being forced out to the terrorism that had been allegedly perpetrated kicking all of this off you see. Specific information? Apparently that’s a lot harder to produce...

Right, so Israel is now sending drones after its rodents as I covered just the other day. The operation in Eshkol has moved into the surrounding farmland, distributing a poison called Rosh-80 an it’s because the poison in question has come to light, that I’ve come back to the story already, because Israel has been full of news of alternative methods to control rodents previously, but has now opted...

Right, so the Greens were supposed to be paying a price for their position on Israel weren’t they? Their conference passed the “Zionism is racism” motion, the condemnations piled up, and Labour started demanding that Green councillors reject it if they wanted to keep working together. Then Find Out Now published its latest poll. The Greens had gone UP, from eleven to thirteen per cent. Now obvious...

Right, so Andy Burnham's government has endorsed Jackdaw, and Burnham is now making a virtue of it as if he has single-handedly saved the country from energy poverty. British energy, British workers, British aid to the poor, needy masses. Just don't look at the small print. Israeli businessmen are also lurking in the background, quietly profiting as Britain is told to stand up and cheer. The money...

Right, so the rodent infestation, the biblical plague of rats that has descended on Israel as I covered a few weeks back has just got dramatically worse you’ll be broken hearted to hear. So much so in fact, it has now earned a funding announcement from Netanyahu’s government of up to three million shekels to help affected councils tackle it. Three million shekels. That’s one helluva rat problem yo...

Right, so Israel needs more soldiers, but a planned operation to arrest draft evaders has been cancelled because the police and army couldn’t agree on how to carry it out. Before they could round anybody up, they fell out over who was coming along. According to Kan, the police wanted three hundred soldiers to help. The army said it wasn’t its job. So the operation was dropped, leaving those recrui...

Right, so still Lib Dem leader apparently Ed Davey has decided to jump aboard Andy Burnham’s anti-Green pro-Israel whinging, refusing to work with Greens at local level if they don’t reject the Zionism Is Racism motion, because of course he has, as if we’ve forgotten the Lib Dems are part of the establishment Uniparty. The Green Party membership have voted to call Zionism racist, because it is. Bu...

Right, so Albania’s government signed a new agreement with Israel on 12 October all while Prime Minister Edi Rama had already been facing months of protests, which have of course in the days since that signing, got dramatically worse, so it’s quite the moment to announce relations with Israel were reaching their highest ever point. Outside government, people have been rather less impressed with ho...

Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu’s office is questioning a reported settler attack, and Belgium has a rather awkward contribution to make to it: one of the damaged vehicles belongs to its own consulate. A French mayor says he was assaulted too into the bargain, so Belgium is demanding accountability and pressing for further EU sanctions on the ongoing settler menace and very much becoming rather more...

Right, so, we have officially lost the Canary folks. They have had to shut up shop after repeated banking disruption, preventing them from functionally being able to operate as a business, thereby silencing them by default. Journalists were very much still there, still committed to their reporting. Readers were still there. They were on the up, they’d even begun circulating a physical newspaper no...

Right, so Andy Burnham is approaching a North Sea oil decision with an awkward Israel problem attached to it, because when isn’t there an Israel problem attached to a UK government. His administration has promised sanctions against companies helping to fund or expand illegal settlements. But one of the businesses that could benefit from Rosebank has a majority shareholder named in the UN’s settlem...

Right, so Google has cut an Israeli advertising company off after researchers caught its operation helping deliver spyware through online adverts. Discover-Tech had found a way to make those irritating little interruptions considerably nastier. You didn’t have to click. You didn’t have to download anything. Loading the advert could be enough for a selected device to come under attack. All those ye...

Right, so Andy Burnham as you are I’m sure aware to some degree or other, decided to start a punch-up with the Greens for daring to become anti-Zionist, ostensibly for the sake of Israel, because how else are we meant to read a bust up over another party passing a progressive vote calling out the ethnic cleansing and genocide Zionism in practice has created, when Labour still cannot even call the...

Right, so Andy Burnham has threatened to stop working with the Greens, and Labour councillors are now being asked to risk the partnerships helping them run their own councils, all it seems, in the interests of the state of Israel as a result. In Sheffield, the Labour leader has already sent the ultimatum to their Green partners. Reject your party’s position on Zionism, or this arrangement ends. It...
