It took considerable courage for the jury in the Palestine Action trial to ignore the demands to convict from the judge, the government, the police and the media. Instead they weighed the actual evidence and found the prosecution case was legal chicanery. Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe
A handful of Jeffrey Epstein's most disposable allies will now be sacrificed to satisfy our hunger for accountability. But don’t be fooled: the Epstein culture is still going strong. Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe
International law is absolutely clear. If the US attacks Iran, it would be a war of aggression and the “supreme international crime”. The job of even supposedly liberal media like the Guardian is to persuade you this is not what is at stake. To disbelieve your lying eyes.

The BBC is pushing the case for an illegal war on Iran with even bigger lies than Trump's. The UK state broadcaster streams disinformation into our living rooms – deceptions that not only leave us clueless about important international events but drive us ever closer to global conflagration.

Feckless European leaders like Keir Starmer let Israel and the US tear up international law in Gaza. Now, faced with Greenland and Ukraine, they are suffering from a severe case of buyer’s regret. Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe
A UK tribunal cleared British-Palestinian doctor Ghassan Abu Sittah of misconduct charges initiated by UK Lawyers for Israel, over supposedly antisemitic social media posts. Yet, the media still sides with the utterly discredited apologists for genocide. Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe
A new film about Hind Rajab's murder points to a deeply sick Israeli society, driven into the darkest of places by a racist ideology that says Jewish lives count, Palestinian lives don’t. Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe
Difficult as it is for westerners to hear, we don’t need a stronger West, we need a weaker one. Harder still, Donald Trump is teaching us that the very concept of 'the West' is an illusion. Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe
The path to Caracas – and potentially next to Mexico, Colombia, Cuba and Greenland, other targets of Donald Trump’s colonial greed – was paved in Gaza. Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe
Israel is expelling 37 aid groups – a likely death sentence for 100,000s of Palestinians. But the New York Times speaks only of 'new rules' in Gaza, and 'suspensions' for those who 'resist registration' Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe
Starmer's government has set the most dangerous of precedents: it can now outlaw any political group it chooses as a terrorist organisation – and thereby make it impossible to defend it. Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe

The band Primal Scream had the audacity to tell its audience that the British government is complicit in genocide. They have been reported to the police for doing so, and the UK media is once again baying for blood. Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe
Israel has penned us all into a 'debate', one entirely divorced from reality, that relates only to those killed directly by its bombs and gunfire in Gaza – not the genocide it is waging by other means. Get full access to Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com/subscribe
The current trial in London of six peace activists for attacking an arms factory is proving just how determined the British state is to hollow out the public’s civil, political and legal rights to justify its continuing support for Israel’s slaughter of Gaza’s children.
