Palestine will never be erased. Listen to Omar Harami in the ruins of Lifta, a Palestinian village destroyed by Zionist militia in the 1948 Nakba.

Is Andy Burnham going to take Keir Starmer down? 👇 🍿🍿🍿 www.owenjones.news/p/is-andy-bu...

Israel wants all Palestinians gone - dead or alive, from the river to the sea. That’s their ambition. That’s their plan.

Could this scandal bring down Keir Starmer? Our real prime minister is Morgan McSweeney. And the questions he has to answer are absolutely damning 👇 www.doubledown.news/watch/2025/s...

Wow. This is absolutely huge. After the attacks, Spain is offering direct military protection to the flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza. So what now, Israel? Are you going to risk acts of war against a European nation so you can attack humanitarian vessels?

The Gaza aid flotilla has come under attack from drones and explosions. Israel is scared of this flotilla. Why? Because it proves that Israel's genocidal starvation of Gaza can be stopped - if there's the will. I spoke to David Adler on the flotilla yesterday.

They do not even pretend to believe that Palestinians are human beings.

It is up to ordinary citizens in the West to do all we can to stop one of history’s great crimes. Italian workers have shown all of us how it can be done.

There has never been better conditions for a force to Labour's left. There has never been a bigger threat from fascism in Britain. If 'Your Party' implodes, that will be tragic - and unforgivable. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If there's never any Palestinian state, then what does Israel plan for the West Bank? Millions of Palestinians living for all eternity under occupation, apartheid and colonisation? No, Israel doesn't plan this. Israel wants all Palestinians between the river and the sea gone.

Recognising Palestine is not a substitute for stopping the genocide. When I was in the West Bank, No Other Land’s Basil Adra told the devastating truth.

If you haven't already seen this I *highly* recommend it. Owen Jones reporting from the West Bank. It's an excellent, heartbreaking documentary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jHu...

The turmoil within 'Your Party' has caused widespread despair. But here is some hope! This is a proposal to move on from yesterday's events - with the grassroots taking over. You can sign up here 👇 www.ourparty.org.uk#openletter

I went to the West Bank, occupied Palestine. I found a people who are suffering a hideous injustice - but who have resilience and determination. New video 👇👇 youtu.be/2jHuCiB8s9A

Politicians need to demand the British government stops facilitating Israel’s genocide.

Jimmy Kimmel has been taken off air at the direction of the state. In the coming weeks and months, others deemed critical of the Trump regime will be deplatformed, threatened, arrested and deported. The US is well on track to becoming an authoritarian state.

This is humiliating

Arrested for projecting images of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein on Windsor Castle. There is a mounting authoritarian assault in this country. The attack on opposition to Israel’s genocide was only the beginning.

Did Donald Trump order Keir Starmer to ban Palestine Action? New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/did-trump-...

If Labour admitted there is a genocide in Gaza, it would have to admit its own hand in it | Owen Jones

"They're producing the responses by ChatGPT these days."

Genocide deniers have been left with nowhere to go. A new UN report cements the overwhelming consensus that Israel is committing genocide. Genocide deniers should be treated as beyond the pale. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/un-leaves-...

Yesterday's revelations about Starmer's aide Paul Ovenden are from a devastating upcoming book. There's going to be a lot more damning revelations to come. So I really recommend pre-ordering Paul Holden's 'THE FRAUD': orbooks.com/catalog/the-...

It is over for the genocide deniers. Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide. Those who supported Israel's onslaught: You backed a genocide. You will never scrub the shame away.

Why didn't his supposedly massive brain and brilliant instincts and intellect stop him from sending all those vile messages about a female black Labour MP?

“Their silence, because they’re afraid, is their support to the genocide.” 👏👏👏

That Keir Starmer's government would a) swiftly become unpopular and b) the far right would surge as a result was entirely predictable. It was predicted. I predicted it before Rishi Sunak called the election, because it was obvious: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The biggest far-right demonstration in British history is a gruesome reminder of how much trouble we are in. Since the financial crash, the direction of travel for the far right across the West has only been in one direction - and that is up.

No, obviously Nigel Farage should not become UK Ambassador to the US. Discussing that on Channel 5 at 11.30am!

“Wherever he is in the world, he remains my best pal” - Starmer’s choice for US Ambassador on prolific child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Charlie Kirk's assassination: a dark, cold winter is coming. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/charlie-ki...

Banksy satirised the state silencing those opposed to Israel’s genocide. The state then inadvertently made his artwork genius.

Keir Starmer will be remembered as a disastrous, despised prime minister who facilitated genocide. That is it. And one day he will be made to answer for his role in drowning Gaza in oceans of blood.

Banksy is a pillar of British culture. He’s been daubing walls for three decades. As soon as he satirises peaceful protesters being dragged through the courts for holding placards opposing Israel’s genocide, he faces being unmasked and prosecuted.

Every day, somewhere between 10 and 20 times as many Palestinians are slaughtered by Israel. It's not just that they don't get these messages of grief and condemnation from British politicians. British politicians continue to arm their murderers.

Shameful

If this doctor is a terrorist, then what is the IDF?

Israeli president Isaac Herzog incited genocide against Palestinians. His public imposition of collective guilt on the Palestinian people was repeated by Israeli soldiers as they rampaged in Gaza. His visit to London is a disgrace. He should be arrested

Keir Starmer's catastrophic government is paving the way for Nigel Farage as PM. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Israel’s own military database indicates that only a quarter of Gaza detainees are fighters. Civilians are the vast majority, facing extreme torture, hunger, rape, and violent deaths. These are Palestinian hostages.

👏👏👏

This is how dictatorships behave

86% of the world’s genocide experts have declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel made its genocidal intent clear from day one. It then committed genocide in full view of the world. Nobody with power or influence can say they didn’t know at the time.

Andrea Egan is standing for UNISON general secretary. Could she be Keir Starmer's worst nightmare?

Is this Labour's biggest scam?

Absolutely incredible. The Berlin police justified repeatedly brutally punching this Irish activist in the face and breaking their arm... ...because they said they were acting like Nazis. Yes, violently attacking protesters opposed to genocide has definitely rebutted that one!
