How Palestine Action Was Banned

July 30, 2025
John McEvoy
The discrepancy between Home Office press briefings and official intelligence reports on the direct-action group raises the prospect of a state-linked disinformation campaign, writes John McEvoy.
The U.K. government was secretly advised that Palestine Action is “highly unlikely” to advocate for violence while officials struggled to produce evidence the group posed a national security threat, it can be revealed.

On January 23, 2025, Climate and Capital Media published an article by Danny Kennedy, senior adviser to the Sunrise Project, entitled “US’s Petrostate Versus China’s Electrostate.” This was among the first of a torrent of articles from the corporate media and climate watchers on the astonishing successes of China in peaking and then lowering carbon emissions due to what the Financial Times on May 12, 2025, called China’s “Electricity Revolution.” According to the Financial Times, “China could be on its way to becoming the world’s first major ‘electrostate,’ with a growing share of its energy coming from electricity and its economy increasingly driven by clean technologies” (Danny Kennedy, “US’s Petrostate Versus China’s Electrostate,” Climate and Capital Media, January 23, 2025, climateandcaptialmedia.com; Nassos Stylianou et al., “How Xi Sparked China’s Electricity Revolution,” Financial Times, May 12, 2025).

The Gaza Rivera

July 26, 2025
Israelis do not see the images of skeletal corpses of Palestinian children who they have starved to death as a curse. They do not see the slain families they gun down at food hubs — designed not to deliver aid but lure starving Palestinians into a massive concentration camp in the south of Gaza in preparation for deportation — as a war crime. Israelis do not look at the savage bombing and shelling that kill or wound dozens of Palestinian civilians, where an average of 28 children die daily, as anything extraordinary. They do not see the wasteland of Gaza, pulverized by bombs and methodically being torn down by bulldozers and excavators, leaving virtually the entire population of Gaza homeless, as barbaric. They do not see the destruction of water purification plants, decimation of hospitals and clinics, where doctors and medical staff are often unable to work because they are weak from malnutrition, as savage. They do not blink at the assassinations of doctors as well as journalists, 232 of whom have been murdered for trying to document the horror.

“One Meal Every Three Days”: Journalist & Aid Worker Back from Gaza on Stark Reality on the Ground

July 24, 2025
The BBC, Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse have all called on Israel to allow journalists in and out of Gaza as starvation there becomes imminent. In a statement, the news outlets said, “We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families.” We speak with Afeef Nessouli, a journalist who just returned from Gaza, where he volunteered as an aid worker. “It has been an incredibly awful experience to see people sort of become sicker and sicker from hunger,” says Nessouli, who describes visiting community kitchens in Gaza that have run out of food. “Many of us would just have one meal a day,” he says of his seven weeks in Gaza. Now his colleagues who remain in Gaza “are having one meal every three days.”
