Israeli war criminals have systematically attacked hospitals for 20 months. During the genocide in Gaza, Israel and its loyal propagandists have been working flat out to normalise attacks on hospitals and health workers. Now, Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran has sparked retaliations unlike what resistance from Gaza or Lebanon could offer. And an Israeli hospital next to a military site has just received some damage as a result.

On 17 June, hundreds of people attended protests outside arms factories complicit in the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza. They went to Sheffield, Rochester, and Havant to call for an immediate arms embargo. This comes as one poll suggests over half of people in Britain back such an embargo. As the Palestine Solidarity Campaign explained:Britain is an active participant in Israel’s genocide in Palestine, including through its arms trade and military collaboration with Israel.

A UK court has released rapper Mo Chara on unconditional bail after a witch hunt against him and his group Kneecap following their vocal opposition to the US-Israel genocide in Gaza. Ahead of the hearing, meanwhile, a large crowd gathered in solidarity. The cynical attempts by genocide apologists to silence Kneecap and other anti-genocide voices have backfired, with the band’s popularity increasing significantly since it became a target back in April.

US voters don’t want to join Israel’s unprovoked war on Iran. But Donald Trump and others are essentially admitting the US is already involved. Trump isn’t just ignoring US intelligence saying Iran was not developing nuclear weapons (which Israel already has). He isn’t just ripping up his previous ‘anti-war’ mask. He’s making it very clear that the attack on Iran is a joint effort between the US and its useful junior partner, Israel.

Western powers have given Israel a free pass to livestream its genocide in Gaza. But. with recent weeks bringing increasing criticism and resistance, the apartheid state is now trying to push its Western accomplices into backing its unprovoked war on Iran.

The US-backed Egyptian dictatorship has done Israel’s dirty work for it, beating and abducting activists on the Global March to Gaza. Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran has served as a distraction from increasing international outrage over the ongoing US-Israeli genocide in Gaza. But in recent days, activists tried to reach the occupied Palestinian territory by land. And Egypt’s regime obediently responded by attacking them. The march has now announced it will not continue.

The Centre For Media Monitoring (CfMM) has released a rigorous new report about BBC bias during Israel’s genocide in Gaza. And it’s headline statistic is stark, revealing the public broadcaster’s decision to place significantly more value on Israeli lives than on Palestinian lives. Because although Israeli occupation forces have killed at least 34 times more Palestinians, Israelis who died got 33 times more coverage. The BBC also interviewed more than twice as many Israelis as Palestinians.

Britain’s spineless political leaders have miserably failed to condemn Israel’s dangerous and unprovoked attacks on Iran. That’s because they’re powerless to do so, as lapdogs of US imperialism and active participants in the ongoing US-Israeli genocide. And that should worry us, because it could spark a world war. Israel has killed around one child per hour in Gaza since October 2023, trying to terrorise Palestinians into leaving their homeland. Iran has not.

Middle East Eye (MEE) revealed on 9 June that former UK prime minister David Cameron had threatened the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Israel’s behalf, trying to stop the court issuing arrest warrants for the war criminals behind the ongoing genocide in Gaza. And although Cameron could face prosecution as a result of his unscrupulous efforts, the mainstream media seems to have agreed not to cover the story.
