Jeremy Corbyn IS suing Nigel Farage. Did he take Vox Political’s advice?

Jeremy Corbyn: apparently he is suing Nigel Farage to protect the reputation of the Project for Peace and Justice.

Message from Jeremy Corbyn:

I have asked my lawyers to take the first steps in commencing legal proceedings against Nigel Farage, following a highly defamatory statement about me.

We are a movement for peace — and we cannot stand by and let these disgusting and malicious lies go unchallenged.

(The movement he mentioned is the Project for Peace and Justice.)

Did he take This Site’s advice?

No, I can’t claim that. It would be hugely conceited to think that Mr Corbyn has even noticed Vox Political‘s existence. But this seems an appropriate place to thank the many of you who visited This Site’s previous article on the subject, after Mr Corbyn’s announcement.

But it would be nice to think the arguments I put forward had reached him somehow.

For clarity, after Nigel Farage suggested that Mr Corbyn believed “the Jews” are running the world, I stated:

Mr Corbyn’s attitude is that, if it isn’t hurting people other than himself, he’s big enough not to worry about it.

The problem with that is that it harms his supporters, who are also smeared with the same allegation; they may be said to be supporting an anti-Semite.

The Peace and Justice Project is, by its nature, primarily run by supporters of Mr Corbyn – so it is reasonable for him to consider that an untrue statement about him – if left unchallenged – will harm it and everybody involved in it as well.

It will be interesting to find out what Farage does now. My personal belief is that hell apologise and (I hope) pay an amount of money to the Peace and Justice Project.

If he doesn’t, I hope Mr Corbyn takes him for every penny he’s got.

Thunberg and climate protesters acquitted because new laws are ‘too broad’ and ‘unworkable’

Greta Thunberg: the courts have sided with her against the police.

This is clear: the Tory government’s changes to protest law are unworkable.

Bad week for Environment Agency as ‘chicken poo’ failure claim lands it in court

Wake up call: these demonstrators against chicken farm pollution, including Feargal Sharkey, made their point outside the hearing at Cardiff Crown Court.

Yes, this is another ‘rivers of shit’ story.

But it isn’t about privatised water companies, for a change.

Instead, it’s about the Environment Agency failing to do its job and regulate the amount of – literally – crap going into our rivers.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

This is the second blow for the Agency this week, after it was found to have been colluding with the Tory government on ways of hiding whether UK bathing spots were unsafe for swimmers.

Now we learn that representatives of the EA have been taken to court in Cardiff over their failure to stop the River Wye being polluted with unacceptable amounts of chicken excrement from farms along its length.

Here’s a Sky News report on it:

The BBC reported,

The charity River Action, who brought the case, says laws to keep waterways healthy have not been enforced.

The Wye last year had its status downgraded to “unfavourable”, and the rapid expansion of chicken farming in the catchment area was partly blamed.

The Environment Agency said anyone breaking the law could be prosecuted.

The Wye flows along the English-Welsh border and is home to otters, kingfishers and the endangered Atlantic salmon.

“We believe that the government and the Environment Agency have acted unlawfully by deliberately not enforcing the critical regulation that, had it been in force, would have prevented the contamination of the Wye catchment area,” Charles Watson, the chairman of River Action, told the BBC.

And here’s Feargal Sharkey:

This Writer has something of an interest in this issue as I live near the Wye. The case is ongoing, and I look forward to the result.

David Miller wins in court; anti-Zionism is a protected workplace characteristic | Dorset Eye

David Miller is a friend of This Site so this is excellent news – that comes at a potentially very useful time, what with Israel’s ongoing Zionism-spurred genocide in Gaza:

academic David Miller, known for his anti-Zionist views, has claimed a victory against the University of Bristol. The case determined that anti-Zionism qualifies as a protected characteristic in the workplace.

Miller was dismissed by the university in October 2021 over comments about Israel that were deemed by some to be antisemitic. The university cited a breach of behaviour standards, with Jewish students expressing feelings of being unsafe.

Miller, whose academic career he asserts effectively ended due to his views on Israel, argued during the tribunal that his belief in the inherent racism, imperialism, and colonial nature of Zionism qualifies as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.

The Bristol Employment Tribunal upheld Miller’s anti-Zionist beliefs as a philosophical belief and protected characteristic.

Zillur Rahman from Rahman Lowe Solicitors, representing Miller, commended his courage in facing a campaign waged against him by Zionists, calling him a trailblazer.

Rahman emphasised that the ongoing events in Israel have brought attention to Miller’s belief that Zionism is inherently racist and must be opposed.

Here’s how Israel’s mouthpieces are spinning the ICJ ruling – and how to debunk it

Spokespeople for the Israeli government and military are trying to claim that the International Court of Justice found in that country’s favour because it did not support a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza but instead called on Israel to cease any activities that may possibly correspond to definitions of genocide:

Note that Israel’s liar-in-chief, Eylon Levy, claimed that the ICJ called for Israel to abandon any rescue of the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7 last year. This is a lie. The ICJ made a very clear demand for the hostages to be returned to Israel, safe and well.

So there you have it: Israel’s spokespeople and mouthpieces want you to think the ICJ ruling was a victory for them.

The fact is different. Here’s how you debunk the claims of these distortionists:

Indeed. Please spread this response as widely as you find necessary to combat the falsehood.

UK response to ICJ ruling: cut funding to agency helping Palestinian refugees

Rishi Sunak and Benjamin Netanyahu: is this the reason the UK responded to the ICJ’s ruling over genocide charges against Israel by suspending funding of aid to Palestinian refugees, rather than suspending arms exports to Israel?

The UK’s Tory government has responded to a ruling by the International Court of Justice that Israel is now on trial for genocide – by cutting aid to the UN agency that provides help for Palestinian refugees.

Is that not the correct way to view the cessation of funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which works to provide health care, education and other humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria and employs around 13,000 people in Gaza?

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

The announcement follows allegations – from that bastion of dishonesty, the Israeli government – that people working for the UNRWA were involved in the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel.

According to the BBC,

Mark Regev said there was information showing teachers working in UNRWA schools had “openly celebrated” the 7 October attacks.

He also referred to an Israeli hostage who, on her release, said she had been “held in the house of someone who worked for UNRWA”.

“They have a union which is controlled by Hamas and I think it’s high time that the UN investigated these links between UNRWA and Hamas,” he added.

This Writer would not trust that man to tell me the correct time.

But his claims have been supported by the fact that the UNRWA has launched an investigation into them – and sacked several staff before it has had a chance to report back.

The UK joins the US, Australia, Italy, Canada and Finland, who have already suspended funding to the agency.

The UNRWA’s former chief spokesperson, Christopher Gunness, said the suspension of funding was disproportionate and could only lead to further suffering:

“One million displaced people are currently taking refuge in and around UNRWA buildings. They are the ones who will suffer as a result of this decision,” said Mr Gunness, adding: “The curtailing of UNRWA services will also destabilise the region at a time when Western governments are trying to contain a regional conflagration.”

This is a view that is widely-held on the social media:

But what should the UK have done?

Well…

Would that not have been the more obvious choice?

International Court of Justice imposes ‘interim measures’ to stop Israeli genocide in Gaza

The International Court of Justice, where the ruling was given.

The International Court of Justice has ruled that there is a prima facie case that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and has imposed interim measures to prevent it.

These measures are:

Israel shall take all measures to prevent commission of all acts within the scope of article 2 of the Genocide Convention: killing Palestinians, causing serious bodily or mental harm, inflicting conditions considered to bring about harm, and preventing births.

Israel shall ensure with immediate effect that its military does not commit any of these acts.

Israel shall take all measures to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement of genocide.

Israel shall take measures to ensure the provision of urgently needed basic services and assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by people in the Gaza Strip – humanitarian aid.

Israel shall take effective measures to prevent destruction and preserve evidence of genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Israel shall submit a report to the court on all measures taken to give effect to this order, within one month. South Africa, which brought the case against Israel, will then have an opportunity to submit its observations on Israel’s report.

The court cannot enforce its ruling – and Israel will almost certainly ignore it altogether.

But the ruling remains significant.

It means a court representing the international community has said it is possible that agents of Israel are committing the most heinous crime known to humanity – genocide.

Other nations that are signed up to the Genocide Convention should now support that finding and exert pressure on Israel to comply with the interim measures that have been stated.

Those include the United Kingdom, where both the Tory government and Labour opposition have vociferously supported Israel since the current conflict began on October 7.

In other words, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer are now in a tricky position.

The country they chose to back is now in danger of being convicted of appalling crimes against humanity – that they have supported.

What will they say now and how will they justify what they have said in the past?

Demonstrations at International Court of Justice as it hears genocide charge against Israel

This is what a holocaust looks like (or at least one interpretation): and as the artist intends, it might accurately refer to what Israel is visiting upon Gaza now.

Demonstrators supporting both Gaza and Israel clashed outside the International Court of Justice as it began the first of two days of hearings after South Africa charged Israel with genocide.

Palestinians marched with banners collecting the names of people known to have been killed:

Israel’s supporters set up a screen with images of some of the people they say are still being held hostage by Hamas. This is not a good enough justification for the murder of nearly 30,000 innocent people, including women and children, This Writer believes.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

Inside the court, South Africa’s representative delivered its case that Israel’s actions “are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnical group”:

The BBC has reported:

It says Israel’s actions include “killing Palestinians in Gaza, causing them serious bodily and mental harm, and inflicting on them conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction”.

It calls for “provisional measures” to be implemented by the court as a matter of urgency, including that Israel cease all military activities in Gaza.

Israel has defended its actions in Gaza, saying it is responding to Hamas’s deadly attacks on 7 October, but speaking in court on Thursday, South Africa’s Justice Minister Ronald Lamola said no attack “can provide justification for or defend breaches of the [Genocide] Convention”.

Israel is a signatory to the Genocide Convention of 1948, which defines genocide and commits states to prevent it.

South Africa’s case has won widespread support, including from 11 national governments:

Sadly the United Kingdom is not one of them.

But UK politician Jeremy Corbyn is with the South African delegation and has published a video clip explaining the significance of what is happening, alongside former South African MP Andrew Feinstein. He also called for UK citizens to take part in demonstrations supporting Gaza on Saturday:

And while all this is going on, the slaughter in Gaza continues:

Israel will deliver its submissions to the court tomorrow (January 12).

Israel is resorting to insults to answer #ICJ4Israel genocide charges

A leaked cable from the Israeli Foreign Ministry suggests that that country is calling for foreign governments that support it to put “diplomatic pressure” on the International Court of Justice to drop its investigation into whether Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

The cable requests “an immediate and unequivocal public statement along the following lines: To publicly and clearly state that [COUNTRY-NAME] rejects the outragest, absurd and baseless allegations made against Israel”.

Note the use of the archaic term “outragest”, which

makes the request sound melodramatic, and lends it an unhealthy note of incredulity, as though the incredulity is the only substitute the Israelis can find for a real case,

according to Martin Odoni in his Critique Archives article on the tactic.

He writes:

The hope appears to be to get a collection of statements from other world leaders expressing similar incredulity, in order to make it look like the legality of Israel’s actions is an objective fact, and not a grossly-selective interpretation of International Law. These statements may prove inadmissible in the court, but they will still get a lot of air-time in the media, and are therefore bound to exert at least some pressure on the Justices.

Israel’s only answer, in short, is to behave like a nation-state yob, and try to reduce the court proceedings to a farce of name-calling and bullying by media. That Israel can only protect its ruthless military strategy from an injunction by effectively corrupting the legal process through politicking says everything we need to know. It is almost trial-by-media, and it is the unofficial confirmation on Israel’s part that its aim really is genocide. Were it not, it would keep proceedings strictly in-court.

That is an argument that makes perfect sense to This Writer.

If Israel tries to use the tactic described here in court, I hope South Africa’s lawyers make mincemeat of it.

#ICJ4Israel: Jeremy Corbyn to join South Africa’s delegation accusing Israel of genocide

Corbyn and Israel: some might say his decision to join the South African delegation accusing that country of genocide is courageous, considering the years in which he was falsely accused of anti-Semitism.

Jeremy Corbyn is to join the South African government’s delegation accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice tomorrow (January 11).

According to AP News,

South Africa’s Justice Ministry said Corbyn was one of a number of “senior political figures from progressive political parties and movements across the globe” who will join the South African delegation at the Hague in the Netherlands for two days of preliminary hearings which begin on Thursday.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

South Africa brought the case against Israel last month, accusing it of intending “to destroy Palestinians in Gaza,” and asked the U.N.’s top court to order Israel to halt its attacks. Israel rejected South Africa’s allegations of genocide “with disgust” and said it will defend itself at the court.

Corbyn was the only one of those foreign political figures in its delegation named by the South African government.

He will go to The Hague fresh from shaming the UK’s Tory government in the House of Commons earlier this week:

Of course, the UK’s Tory government refused to support South Africa.

Despite the concerns mentioned by Foreign Secretary David Cameron (“Lord”!), Rishi Sunak’s gang of bandits fully support the genocide – probably because they think it will generate money for them. Sadly, Keir Starmer’s Labour Party also supports it, probably for the same reason.

The hearings begin at 9am (UK time), and you can watch them using the link below:
