Document:How top Labour officials plotted to bring down Jeremy Corbyn | Article | "Antisemitism" Jeremy Corbyn Tom Watson Iain McNicol Keir Starmer Equality and Human Rights Commission Sam Matthews | 16 April 2020 | Jonathan Cook | The stench of cover-up is already in the air.

So why does the West keep trying? | Article | Benjamin Netanyahu Israeli–Palestinian conflict Genocide Keir Starmer Kamala Harris David Lammy Western world Occupied Palestinian Territory Joe Biden/Presidency | 4 September 2024 | Jonathan Cook | Western politicians and media are never going to admit that Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. The moment they do, the veil of illusions fostered for decades about Israel - designed to conceal the West’s complicity in Israeli crimes - would be torn away. In committing a genocide, a state crosses a threshold. It cannot be armed into moderation. Nor can it be reasoned into peacemaking. It must be aggressively isolated and sanctioned. |
