Alison Banville — Sat, 23 Nov 2024 19:03:40 +0000

Surgeon Nizam Mamode broke down as he told the international development committee what he witnessed while working as a surgeon in Gaza. This should have been headline news, of course, if our mainstream media was not complicit in whitewashing Israeli war crimes and genocide. This footage needs to be widely shared. We hope it haunts the dreams of our complicit […]

Sky News’ Kay Burley, Channel 4 News’ Krishnan Guru Murthy: Wanted for Abetting Genocide

Alison Banville — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 22:49:31 +0000

Just when I thought I had witnessed the worst of the atrocities committed by Israel. Just when I imagined I could see nothing more horrific than the scenes of extreme suffering I have already watched during this year long genocide, in the early hours of Monday Oct 14th I saw people in hospital beds, still attached to IV drips, burning […]

Tony Golden Memorial Cycle 2024

Mike Raddie — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 20:22:00 +0000

I never knew Tony Golden but I've read lots about him and I think I understand what his loss means; his death was an assault on goodness and decency, on the noble vocation of public service and self sacrifice. How fitting his annual memorial is so full of love and friendship.

The title above is taken from Henry David Thoreau’s seminal 1849 essay , Civil Disobedience. One of the most influential ever written. Read by Gandhi and Martin Luther King who both declared its influence upon them, it’s as relevant today as it ever was. Particularly on this day! Election day 2024. Thoreau beseeches us to make voting a symbol of […]

Julian Assange Home! And Free!

Alison Banville — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 12:39:06 +0000

In moving scenes yesterday we finally saw Julian Assange step off a plane onto Australian soil. His joy was visible as his wife Stella rushed into his arms and Julian lifted her off the ground in an embrace before they kissed. He also embraced his father. It brought tears to my eyes to see all this happen because, as Stella […]

Julian Assange Free – but it’s not over just yet

Alison Banville — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 23:09:27 +0000

BSNEWS editor Alison Banville: In 2019 I attended a talk in London by UN special rapporteur on torture, Nils Melzer, who, after visiting Julian in Belmarsh prison, was so shocked by his deteriorated condition that he immediately spoke out declaring that Julian’s life was at risk: “In my view, this case has never been about Mr. Assange’s guilt or innocence, […]

What will it take for the masses to wake the fuck up? In his very last article, ‘We are Spartacus’, published just a month before his death in December, John […]

Matt Kennard & Jeremy Corbyn on Palestine, Keir Starmer and US Empire

Matt Kennard — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 18:43:44 +0000

Media Lens: ‘An excellent discussion. Very revealing at around 14:30 onwards when they discuss the US-UK establishment opposition to Corbyn-led Labour and Corbyn cites Pompeo, Trump and Netanyahu all basically saying they would not allow Corbyn to become Prime Minister.’

Two Videos by Lowkey That You Must Watch

Alison Banville — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 18:29:25 +0000

Journalist, rapper and activist Lowkey has been an indispensable source of crucial information on Palestine, not just since the horrendous genocide in Gaza began, but for years preceding it. His voice is needed more than ever now when even blatant mass murder is being sanitised by the huge propaganda machine that includes the corporate media whose collusion with intelligence agencies […]
