Spain: Diplomatic Relations Cut with “Genocide” Committing Israel! (9.9.2025)

MADRID, September 8, 2025 (WAFA) – Spain’s Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that it recalled its ambassador in Israel for consultations in response to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s remarks accusing Madrid of anti-Semitism following its new measures against Israel-bound ships and aircraft over the genocidal aggression on Gaza.

“The Spanish Government strongly rejects the false and slanderous accusations of anti-Semitism made by the Israeli Government against Spain and the Spanish people, as well as the unacceptable ban on two members of the Spanish Government entering Israel,” the Spanish Foreign Ministry said in a press statement.

It explained that “The measures relating to the inhumane situation in Gaza and the West Bank, announced today by the President of the Spanish Government, reflect the majority opinion of Spanish society and are adopted within the framework of its sovereignty and in line with its defence of peace, human rights and international law.”

China: Two PRC Citizens “Fined” for Staged ‘Slum Marriage’ Video! (8.9.2025)

Chen is taking all the criticism – and I am not condoning her actions – but we must be careful in allotting blame. Remember, misogyny is also completely illegal in Socialist China and Chinese Muslims live very good and productive lives – although this fictional video (now “banned”) is obviously supposed to look as if it is outside of China. I suspect the two were on holiday somewhere and wanted to make some easy money – but instead – once the Chinese Revolutionary Police found out where the couple lived – the hinges flew-off their front-door early in the morning – probably after a “loud” (but equally “short”) knock! China has modified so quickly under the CPC that its people are still learning to come to terms with modernity, technology, and wealth. This is no excuse for bad behaviour, however, and I think these two will be punished, but only in a moderate manner (indeed, they were “fined”). Being ignorant and disrespectful of others (particularly those stuck in lesser socio-economic conditions) is only counted as “freedom” in the capitalist West.

Flag of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and State of Palestine (1988-Present)

Flag of Palestine – a Short History! (6.9.2025)

This is because this flag, although adopted by the Arab Socialist Baath Party, is actually a flag which possesses a deep and profound association with a) the history of theological Islam, and b) the history of the physical spread of Islam. An ahistorical statement currently originating from the depths of US anti-intellectualism (and mindlessly trumpeted by the political far-right) – is that the British Tory (and British Army Officer) – Sir Mark Sykes  – “designed” not only the Palestinian Flag – but ALL subsequent Arab national flags. This obviously “racist” pseudo-history has its origins in William Easterly’s (2006) book entitled “The White Man’s Burden”. No Arab-language source agrees with this ridiculous assessment – or even bothers to mention this degenerate tome.

The UK Needs a Re-Focused Communist Movement That Sweeps Away All the Current Entities of Self-Interest!

On Why George is Cross – and Joseph Would Do Better! (20.8.2025)

How can we effectively campaign when there are continuous newcomers who are willing to do our jobs for less payment under worse conditions? Mass immigration is a bourgeois attack upon the working-class. It is the bourgeois that is the criminal here – not the migrants. The migrants are us – they are the working-class from other areas – that is all. The bourgeoisie is using a poorer element of the working-class (the “migrants”) to attack a richer element of the working-class (the population of the UK). The far-right, as usual, perceives everything the wrong way around. As the far-right supports both capitalism and the bourgeoisie – they use misdirection and encourage attacks upon the migrants. To do this, the far-right must propagate hatred throughout the UK working-class – and direct the “British” working-class (marching behind the streaming George Crosses of racist nationalism) to attack another (innocent) group of the working-class. The far-right makes fools of us all. A fake British nationalism is aimed at a disempowered and weakened group of foreign workers – whilst the controlling bourgeoisie sits back and watches with a smile on its face – as the working-class destroys itself over a false dichotomy. Whilst the UK is busy doing all this false consciousness activity – Socialism cannot be achieved.

Brave Spanish Fire-Fighters!

Spain: Brave Fire Brigade Saves Historic Combined Mosque-Cathedral from Blaze! (9.8.2025)

“That allowed them to know all the entrances, the hallways, where they could hook up their hoses,” he said

Forensics police were at the scene to try to determine the cause of the fire.

ABC and other newspapers reported that a mechanical sweeping machine had caught fire in the site.

The site was built as a mosque — on the site of an earlier church — between the 8th and 10th centuries by the southern city’s then Muslim ruler, Abd ar-Rahman, an emir of the Umayyad dynasty.

After Christians reconquered Spain in the 13th century under King Ferdinand III of Castile, it was converted into a cathedral and architectural alterations were made over following centuries.

UNESCO designated the building a World Heritage Site in 1984, calling it “an architectural hybrid that joins together many of the artistic values of East and West and includes elements hitherto unheard-of in Islamic religious architecture, including the use of double arches.”

UK: Labour “Homelessness” Minister “Resigns” for “Mistreating” Her Own Renting Tenants! (8.8.2025)

The poor, Black, White, Brown, or Yellow – are all being treated with the same level of brutal oppression. No wonder the bourgeoisie hates the DPRK so much – it builds ultra-modern flats and houses – and then gives them out “free” to its own population. Although anyone can live in the DPRK, there is no mass immigration designed to serve the needs of predatory capitalism! As I have said before, voluntary “Internationalism” is not the same as enforced “Multiculturalism”. It is not Rushanara Ali’s ethnicity that is the cause of this (Islam rejects usury), but rather her class. The point is that non-White British people can easily make money by buying property and then renting it out to whomever they choose – thus bypassing the usual barriers of racism which keeps them “shut-out” of mainstream British society. There was a time when the Guardian would have reported on this using a vigorous left-leaning dialectic. Those days are long gone.
