Politicians battling for our votes are fully on board with the months-long murder of Gaza’s children by Israel. The western media has failed to subject these candidates to even the most cursory scrutiny for their role in perpetuating that slaughter. The current barbarism at the heart of western politics has been turned into a non-issue.

With a properly adversarial media playing the role it declares for itself, as a watchdog on power, Julian Assange could never have been disappeared for so long. He would have been freed years ago. The establishment media acted as a willing tool in the demonising narrative the US and British governments carefully crafted against him.

Pick at the Israeli thread of war crimes in Gaza, and the entire cloth of atrocities around the world committed and promoted by the US and its closest allies starts to unravel. That's why it's not just Israel waging war on international law.

I was the first foreign correspondent to track down Israel's secret torture prison back in 2003. Now Israel has opened a new one called Sde Teiman, where Palestinian inmates are held in horrifying conditions. The purpose of ‘black sites’ is to remind those who have been colonised and enslaved of a simple lesson: resistance is futile.

There's a reason western leaders and media want us focused an imaginary "antisemitism" threat posed by marches in London and student sit-ins across the US. So long as western publics are focused on evil anti-war protesters, they will ignore the kind of evil that dares, in broad daylight, to kill 15,000 children, destroy hospitals, and hide bodies in mass graves.

With the Middle East on the brink of war, the West suddenly demands 'restraint' between Israel and Iran – after months of fuelling a genocide in Gaza. I analyse how the US and its allies created a Frankenstein's monster in the region by indulging Israel's every military excess.

In this episode, I explore the context for Israel's killing of foreign aid workers in Gaza, how Israel has been isolating the enclave for decades, and has now torn up the laws of war to ensure the enclave is completely at its mercy.

In this episode, I discuss how figureheads like the Guardian’s George Monbiot have wrecked the left’s ability to think critically, encouraging an analysis of power politics more suited to the playground.

In this episode, I look at Al Jazeera's new documentary on Hamas's October 7 attack, examining how it has finally loosened Israel's stranglehold on the narrative about what happened that day, and why western media are still so uncritically in thrall to Israel's self-serving version of events.

Washington has had years to clarify an intention to give Assange a fair trial, but it has always refused to do so. In this episode, I examine the UK court's latest ruling on US extradition proceedings, arguing that British judges are colluding in Assange's permanent incarceration.

From obscuring the West’s role in starving Gaza to sensationalised accounts of mass rape by Hamas, journalists are playing the role of propagandists, not reporters. In this episode, I analyse the western media's task of helping to build the case for genocide in Gaza.
