The people’s struggle against colonialism and imperialism is a struggle of epic proportions, wherever it takes place. No liberation struggle is waged without involving all aspects of society. Bridges once burned due to the symptoms of imperialism (like racism and misogyny) are rebuilt stronger, made unmovable, connecting people to march together to fight the real enemy – the common enemy.

The NHS 10 year plan will be dragged by political priorities to focus on the first five years – what is easiest to be done in this Parliament for headlines. Even assuming the best of intentions, the imposition of Palantir, the abolition of NHS England, the single patient record, and the transformation to digital solely with the NHS App are all about giving the Department of Health levers to change your care.

Israel’s genocidal regime has launched a savage, broad-based assault on Gaza and continues to deprive Gaza’s starving civilian population of desperately-needed humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, Israel’s criminal leaders have openly declared their intention to destroy Gaza and ‘cleanse’ it of Palestinians. By all appearances, Israel has begun to implement its ‘final solution’ in the Gaza Strip. In response to Israel’s assault on Gaza, major Western governments have issued unprecedented threats to sanction Israel. In addition, people around the world are escalating their resistance to Israel’s genocidal project. Dimitri Lascaris and Beirut-based, geopolitical analyst Laith Marouf debate where all this is heading. Who will prevail in Gaza? Will it be the resistance, or will it be Israel’s genocidal regime? Lascaris and Marouf also discussed Trump’s recent trip to West Asia and the nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran.

When Instagram removes posts about Palestinian martyrs, TikTok purges 12,000 #FreePalestine accounts, and Meta's oversight board dismisses 89% of Palestinian appeals, while 87,000 instances of anti-Palestinian hate speech remain online, the pattern becomes clear.

In a brazen escalation, the U.S.-backed and armed Zionist regime has launched what it calls the “concluding” offensive on Gaza. This escalation coincides with advanced U.S. proposals to forcibly resettle Palestinians from Gaza to war-torn Libya and Syria, according to reports.

Palestinian Territory - The Israeli military’s targeting of rescue teams and paramedics during efforts to evacuate the wounded and extract survivors trapped under rubble in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, constitutes a compound war crime. It amounts to the deliberate killing of civilians by obstructing rescue efforts and leaving them to die beneath the debris, indicating Israel’s intent to annihilate what remains of Palestinian society as part of the ongoing genocide

On May 12th, the New York Times published a forensic autopsy of the failure of the Trump administration’s renewed hostilities against AnsarAllah in the Red Sea. The probe teems with extraordinary disclosures, spelling out in stark detail how the combined air and naval effort - launched with enormous fanfare and much bombastic rhetoric from US officials - was an even greater debacle, and devastating defeat, for the Empire than hitherto thought. The cataclysm’s scale may explain Washington’s sudden determination to reach a negotiated settlement with Iran.

The machinery of genocide grinds forward in Gaza with total impunity, its architects now boldly declaring their intentions without pretense. What we are witnessing is not warfare but industrial-scale extermination—methodical, deliberate, and carried out with the full blessing of American power.

The health ministry in Gaza on Sunday reported more than 500 deaths over the past three days, as the genocidal Israeli military announced the start of a new operation it has named Gideon’s Chariots. The launch of the new operation is accompanied by the typical boastful Israeli language about attacking “Hamas terror targets throughout Gaza” and how their troops “eliminated dozens of terrorists, dismantled terrorist infrastructure sites above and below ground.” The new spokesman of the Israeli genocidal forces made remarks as if he were saying things that haven’t been said ad nauseam by the Israelis since October 7: “Unlike previously, we are now concentrating on offensive effort in the Gaza Strip, and carrying out an offensive until the defeat [of Hamas] in the areas we will operate.”

BBC News regularly proclaims its supposed editorial principles of fearless, independent, impartial, fair and accurate journalism.
