Above is a comparison between the video shot of the missile that hit part of the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital in Kiev on Monday 8th July, with a view from Google Earth looking in the same direction – NORTH. This shows that the missile descended steeply towards its intended target following launch from somewhere WEST of… Continue reading Whose Missile?

Going Nuclear.
Current extreme tensions between the Lebanese Resistance and ‘Israel’ have the potential to lead to a violent explosion across all of West Asia. As Israel increasingly comes to realise it cannot prevail in this war, and may have to face the consequences of its extraordinary crimes, its incentive to ‘go nuclear’ is considerable, despite the… Continue reading Going Nuclear.
Russia’s Gauntlet
We seem finally to have reached the point of rupture and of no return – in WB Yeats’ words: “the falcon cannot hear the falconer – things fall apart, the centre cannot hold..” Things have also outpaced me, failing to finish and post this piece till now, when its message has been overlaid by a… Continue reading Russia’s Gauntlet
A girl with gold hair on the wind..
On the 16th of June 1904, 120 years ago today, the 22 year old James Joyce consummated his relationship with Nora Barnacle, somewhere on the streets of Dublin. Some twelve years later he enshrined this day in his epic novel ‘Ulysses’, recording the innermost thoughts of one Leopold Bloom as he traverses the old city… Continue reading A girl with gold hair on the wind..
Israel’s Incendiary Lies
The ability of Israeli leaders to tell lies is now legendary and pervasive – one could say ‘Israel’ is a country built on lies, and one whose status can only be maintained by covering those lies with more lies. In case some would say this is just words, and truth is relative, consider the simplest… Continue reading Israel’s Incendiary Lies
Collateral Genocide
Some of the first images to appear following the Al Qassem brigades’ October 7th invasion of ‘Israel’ showed dozens of destroyed vehicles around the site of the Nova Sukkot festival, without any explanation of why they were crashed and abandoned or who was in them. Later these cars were collected together as seen above in… Continue reading Collateral Genocide
A Drop in the Ocean
Following Israel’s “Leap year massacre”, when tanks and troops opened fire on thousands waiting for a food aid convoy for Northern Gaza, the stage was set for more ‘Air Drops’ onto the strip, and into the sea. As I suggested in my previous article, ‘On Gaza Beach’, this joint operation by the US and its… Continue reading A Drop in the Ocean
On Gaza Beach
On the very day when Israel was ordered by the ICJ to submit a report on the measures it had taken to avoid acts of genocide since the court’s ruling on January 26th, Israeli tanks and soldiers opened fire on crowds gathered on Gaza’s ‘corniche’ – Al Rashid street – close to the heavily damaged… Continue reading On Gaza Beach
Time to Choose a Side
Never have the words of South Africa’s Archbishop Desmond Tutu been more appropriate: “To remain neutral in a situation of injustice is to choose the side of the oppressor”. Following the ICJ’s unanimous decision to accept South Africa’s case that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, those who support international law and human rights… Continue reading Time to Choose a Side
Jabaliya Flood
Al Jazeera Arabic journalist Anas Al Sharif sent this report from Jabaliya, where heavy rain had led to a new disaster – flooding. What might have simply been a transient problem is turned into a disaster because Israel has destroyed all the municipal vehicles, and power supplies for pumps, as well as sewage treatment facilities… Continue reading Jabaliya Flood
