Starmer under pressure, as Labour suffers heavy elections losses
The results in England, Scotland and Wales have piled pressure on Sir Keir, with some Labour MPs calling for him to set a timetable for his departure, although his cabinet allies have backed him for now.
Labour has lost power in Wales, ending its 27 year-long rule, while the SNP appears likely to remain the largest party in Scotland.
Reform UK has been the big winner in England, picking up more than 1,400 seats and taking control of councils in areas where Labour and the Conservatives have been historically dominant.
The Explicit Manifesto of Digital Fascism: Palantir and the Alliance of Monopoly Capital with the Far Right
(April 22, 2026)
The manifesto published by Palantir Technologies is neither a technical document nor an economic vision. It is an explicit political document announcing a new phase in the trajectory of digital capitalism, a phase in which it has abandoned its claim to neutrality and decided to unmask itself, revealing its full ideological face. Palantir is not an isolated case in the global technological landscape. It is one of several major technology companies that sell their technologies to systems of repression and human rights violations, and has been condemned by international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, for its role in enabling forced deportations, mass surveillance, and the persecution of dissidents.
Most damning of all, documented reports have revealed a direct partnership between this company, alongside other Western technology companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, and the Israeli military, providing data and targeting systems that were used in military operations on Gaza, making it an actual partner in documented war crimes against Palestinian civilians.
Rep. Angie Craig‘s Campaign Is Quietly Distancing the Minnesota Senate Hopeful From AIPAC
As the Minnesota Democratic primary to succeed the retiring Sen. Tina Smith in the United States Senate heats up, Rep. Angie Craig is privately distancing herself from AIPAC. While courting the crucial endorsement of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party, Craig’s campaign staffers have told DFL delegates that the pro-Israel lobby is not funding her candidacy, according to messages obtained by Drop Site News. AIPAC has held at least a dozen fundraisers for Craig, however, over the course of the past year.
Craig’s behind-the-scenes communications are an indication of AIPAC’s growing toxicity in primary races as it advocates blanket U.S. support for a state committing an unpopular and brutal genocide in Gaza. In two recent races, AIPAC’s millions in support, once firmly understood as a moniker of credibility with the DC political class and financial protection from grassroots-funded challengers, has proven it can do more harm than good.
In Dead of Night, Johnson Tries—But Fails—to Ram Through Domestic Spying Bill for Trump
In the 228-197 final vote, a total of four Democrats—Reps. Jared Golden of Maine, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, and Thomas R. Suozzi of New York—joined with all but 25 Republicans who voted to pass a 10-day extension. Twenty GOP members voted against it, while five did not vote.
Ahead of the votes—including on separate versions asking for a 5-year and then 18-month extensions of Section 702—opponents of any clean extension, including Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), said anyone opposed to warrantless spying on Americans must vote no.

The Infiltrator and the Movement
(April 23, 2014)
Modern political policing began in Britain in the 1880s, with the establishment of the Metropolitan Police’s Special Branch, the cocoon from which sprung the undercover policing operations decades later. The Branch originally aimed to combat Irish Fenians — armed fighters seeking independence from Britain — but soon expanded to keep tabs on foreign anarchists, suffragettes, and anticolonial Indians.
At the end of the 1800s, an undercover Branch officer infiltrated the Legitimation League — which campaigned to de-stigmatize bastard children — and orchestrated the League’s collapse. This operation set the tone for what was to come: intense, deeply personal infiltration of any political group that challenged the status quo.

From British Fascisti to the English Defence League, the UK’s security services have routinely refused to consider far-right groups subversive. Indeed, there is evidence, both here, in Europe, and across the Atlantic, of longstanding collaboration between elements of the security services and the far right.
Nigel Farage denies Gaza genocide and backs weapons exports to Israel
(June 2, 2025)
The Reform UK leader has previously spoken in favour of US president Donald Trump’s plans for the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip, which Israel’s government is looking to move forward.
Writing for GB News last year after Labour suspended around 10% of the UK’s weapon export licences to Israel amid fears the nation was breaching international law, Farage said: “I feel all over the world that Israel is running out of friends. And I wonder right now, is Israel still really an ally of this country?”
Diet elects Sanae Takaichi as Japan‘s first female prime minister
The LDP‘s alliance with the Osaka-based rightwing Japan Innovation Party, or Ishin no Kai, ensured her premiership because the opposition is not united. Takaichi‘s untested alliance is still short of a majority in both houses of parliament and will need to court other opposition groups to pass any legislation — a risk that could make her government unstable and short-lived.
The two parties signed a coalition agreement on policies underscoring Takaichi’s hawkish and nationalistic views.
US and UK ‚immensely let down‘ families of detained Gaza flotilla activists
The families of British and American Global Sumud Flotilla activists illegally detained by Israel have told Middle East Eye that the US and UK governments have failed to properly represent their citizens.
Clare Azzougarh, the daughter of Malcolm Ducker, a 72-year-old British air force veteran who captained a boat on the flotilla and is being held in Ketziot prison, said her family feels “immensely let down by the British government in so many ways”.
Laura Adler, the sister of David Adler, a Jewish-American member of the flotilla and co-general coordinator of the Progressive International, told MEE the response of the US government had made her realise that “not everyone is deemed to be equally American”.
“I didn’t realise how non-responsive and passive the US government would be,” Laura Adler said.
Israeli Knesset committee approves motion to impeach Arab lawmaker Ayman Odeh
The motion will now move to the Knesset’s plenary session for a majority vote of 90 members out of 120 to complete Odeh’s impeachment.
Even if his impeachment is approved, the Arab MK will still be able to file a petition against the decision with the Supreme Court.
Palestinians of 1948 (Arabs inside Israel) constitute 21% of Israel’s nearly 10 million population.
Panel votes to impeach Arab MK Ayman Odeh, paving way for possible ouster from Knesset
While a similar effort to oust Hadash-Ta’al MK Ofer Cassif failed in the Knesset plenum in February 2024 due to insufficient support from the opposition, opposition representatives on the committee were very much in favor of the motion this time around, with both Yesh Atid MK Simon Davidson and National Unity lawmaker Pnina Tamano-Shata voting in favor of impeachment.
Knesset Holds Impeachment Hearing for Hadash MK Ayman Odeh
The Knesset Home Committee held an impeachment hearing against Hadash-Ta’al chair MK Ayman Odeh on Tuesday morning, June 24, after far-right Likud MK Avihai Boaron in recent weeks collected 70 signatures from MKs in favor of launching the procedure who received the support of opposition MKs from three Zionist parties – Yisrael Beytenu, National Unity, and Yesh Atid.
With a pandemic as cover, Netanyahu is carrying out a coup in Israel
(March 19, 2020)
The latest reports are that Gantz has agreed to a unity government, with Netanyahu still temporarily in command. This would be a shameful surrender on Gantz’s part. The illusion of democracy would remain. In reality, Blue and White would be ratifying Netanyahu’s moves in the midst of the pandemic panic.
Benny Gantz‘s faction to hold leadership primaries as Israeli election looms
The announcement’s significance lies in the fact that some public opinion polls have favored Gantz’s number two, fellow former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, over the current party leader.
The announcement came as most polls have shown National Unity shrinking to below 10 seats, after reaching over 30 in polls conducted in the weeks and months following the October 7 Hamas massacre.
Germany‘s support for Israel‘s far-right alliance shatters its ‚denazified‘ facade
By supporting Israel unconditionally, Germany does not merely tolerate its far-right alliances – it helps legitimise them on the world stage. In doing so, it embraces – whether it admits it or not – the very fascist forces it once claimed to oppose.
Merz‘s Assurance For Netanyahu Visit Sparks Legal Controversy
(March 1, 2025)
Merz made headlines by stating, „We will find legally correct ways to continue receiving the Israeli Prime Minister in Germany,“ underscoring his commitment to maintaining the flow of diplomatic relations with Israel. He emphasized, „It is unimaginable for me for the democratically elected Prime Minister of the State of Israel not to be able to visit Germany.“ This sentiment appears to echo Germany’s long-standing dedication to supporting Israel, but has led to significant controversy.
Vorfall in Mannheim: Innenminister bestätigt zwei Tote und mehrere Verletzte
„Erneut trauern wir mit Mannheim“, schrieb Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz (SPD) auf X. Mit einer solchen „sinnlosen Gewalttat“ könne man sich „nicht abfinden“, so Scholz weiter. Ähnlich äußerte sich Unions-Kanzlerkandidat Friedrich Merz: „Wir müssen alles tun, um solche Taten zu verhindern.“ Deutschland müsse wieder ein sicheres Land werden.
Union und SPD drücken aufs Tempo
Die weltpolitische Lage drängt Union und SPD zur Eile: Bei den Sondierungen für eine neue Regierung soll es nun schnell gehen. CDU-Chef Merz erwägt offenbar eine Sondersitzung des Bundestags.
Merz-Einladung für Netanjahu nach Deutschland: Rechtsbeugung und Eingriff in die Gewaltenteilung?
Auszug aus dem Wortprotokoll der Regierungspressekonferenz vom 26. Februar 2025
Frage Jessen
Ich will ein Thema aufrufen, das vorhin in den Wartesaal verschoben wurde, Stichwort: Haftbefehl gegen Netanjahu.
Herr Kall, sind deutsche Polizeibehörden gehalten, internationale Haftbefehle umzusetzen, wenn die betreffende Person in den Geltungsbereich deutschen Rechts gerät?
Kall (BMI)
Was den IStGH und Haftbefehle des IStGH angeht, ist das eine völkerstrafrechtliche Frage und damit eine Frage an das BMJ oder das AA.
Dr. Strauß (BMJ)
Ich kann gern für das BMJ ergänzen. Die Zusammenarbeit Deutschlands mit dem Internationalen Strafgerichtshof folgt gesetzlichen Regeln. Sie sind im Einzelnen komplex. Sie können sie insbesondere im Gesetz über die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Internationalen Strafgerichtshof nachlesen….
Nach der Wahl: Anlasslose Massenüberwachung erwartbar
(February 24, 2025)
Zuweilen gingen die Sozialdemokraten in Sachen Überwachungsideen über Forderungen der Konservativen hinaus. Die SPD-Innenministerin hatte gar Vorschläge in einen Referentenentwurf gießen lassen, die nicht mal der Union eingefallen waren: Sie wollte künftig heimlich in Wohnungen einbrechen, um Staatstrojaner leichter installieren zu können.
Einzig bei der Chatkontrolle bleibt abzuwarten, wie sich die potentiellen Koalitionspartner zu dem europäischen Vorhaben stellen werden. In den Wahlprogrammen blieb das Thema ohne Erwähnung.
Future German chancellor vows to shield Netanyahu from ICC arrest warrant
Under the statute, countries that are part of the ICC are legally bound to enforce its arrest warrants, but several European allies of Israel and the US are now refusing to do so, including formerly strong backers of the ICC, such as Germany.
Israel‘s war on Gaza has killed at least 48,000 Palestinians, the majority women and children, primarily through the mass bombings of civilian areas.
Merz says Netanyahu will be able to visit Germany despite ICC warrant
“I think it’s a really absurd idea that an Israeli prime minister can’t visit the Federal Republic of Germany. He will be able to visit Germany,” he added.
In an earlier statement, Netanyahu’s office said Merz had invited the Israeli prime minister “to make an official visit to Germany, in overt defiance of the scandalous International Criminal Court decision to label the Prime Minister a war criminal”.
Netanjahu: Merz hat mich trotz Haftbefehls eingeladen
Merz‘ Partei CDU bestätigte das Telefonat, äusserte sich aber nicht zu dem Inhalt. Gegen Netanjahu sowie gegen den damaligen israelischen Verteidigungsminister Joav Galant waren vergangenes Jahr wegen mutmasslicher Kriegsverbrechen im Gaza-Krieg internationale Haftbefehle erlassen worden.
Merz hatte der deutschen Zeitung «Jüdische Allgemeine» dazu vor knapp zwei Wochen gesagt: «Unter meiner Führung wird der israelische Ministerpräsident unbehelligt nach Deutschland reisen können. Ich werde Mittel und Wege finden, das zu ermöglichen.»
The Real Winners of Germany‘s Elections? The Far Right – and Israel‘s Netanyahu Government
While the world‘s attention will be on the shock of a fifth of Germans supporting the far-right AfD, the Netanyahu government‘s focus will be on who they‘ll be doing business with: the center-right Christian Democrats
