The Arab League HQ in Cairo!

Egypt: Arab League Condemns Systematic Torture, Repression, & Mistreatment of Gaza Prisoners! (2.11.2026)

The Arab League further asserted that such acts constitute crimes against humanity that necessitate accountability. It called for an immediate end to all repressive practices and mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners, demanding that they be treated in accordance with international human rights standards and international humanitarian law.

It also urged that the International Committee of the Red Cross and independent oversight bodies be granted unrestricted access to Ramla Prison and the “Rakafet” wing to document conditions and provide necessary medical care to the injured.

Furthermore, it called for an independent and transparent international investigation into these violations, the prosecution of those responsible, the immediate release of sick and wounded prisoners, and the cessation of all forms of arbitrary detention.

Israeli prison authorities responsible for attempted killing of Palestinian detainee Ghassan Zawahra!

Palestine: Israeli Prison Authorities Responsible for Attempted Killing of Palestinian Detainee Ghassan Zawahra! (8.7.2026)

It emphasized that what has been reported from Zuwahra’s testimony represents only a portion of what he endured, as it only includes what was permitted to be made public. The testimony contains other extremely harsh and shocking details, confirming that the prison guards deliberately attempted to kill him by firing rubber-coated bullets at him directly and repeatedly after he was transferred to Nafha Prison.

The PPS noted that Zuwahra was recently transferred back to Ganot Prison, and that he is a former prisoner who has spent a total of 17 years in Israeli prisons, seven of which were under actual sentences, while the remainder were spent in administrative detention. He was re-detained by the Israeli occupation forces in February 2025 and placed under administrative detention.

Zuwahra is the brother of the slain Palestinian Mu’taz Zuwahra, while another brother, Mohammad Zawahra, has also previously been detained. He is married and a father of four, and lost his father on the second day of his most recent detention.

Laos: Mexico “World Cup” Opening Ceremony! (17.6.2026)

The professional aspect in those days was really about learning to survive outside the UK in unfamiliar circumstances, and still manage to win games under very different local conditions. As this was a difficult task – the players received a small wage whilst their travel and board was paid (I think by the English Football Association). Obviously, within the UK a support network already existed with most players already holding-down full-time jobs in other industries (football would be played after work – in the evenings and at weekends). WWI and WWII destroyed endless generations of talented footballers in England so our standard has dropped to “average” at world level – and foreigners have been able to better us – whilst we still seek to recover our naturally dominant style as a country. Another issue has been the “capitalisation” of football so that everyone is encouraged to play for greed – and are rewarded for greed. This is what FIFA is all about. Although England won the 1966 World Cup – we need to routinely dominate it so that football can be shifted back to its intended art-form – and away from the cesspit of racism and greed it is today. The US should be facing War Crimes Trials – and not being rewaded by FIFA.

Illegal child labour persists in the U.S. as legal protections backslide

US: Illegal Child Labour Persists in the US as Legal Protections Backslide! (7.6.2026)

The report revealed that in the U.S., children as young as 11 to 13 years old were employed for long hours, sometimes operating dangerous equipment and working in prohibited occupations.

“On the kill floors of meat processing plants, children are using harsh chemicals to clean back saws, head splitters, brisket saws, jaw pullers, meat bandsaws, and neck clippers. In sawmills, children are operating chop saws, rip saws, and powered wood processing machines. Teens are hauling and stacking wood for processing by automated machinery. Children are operating power driven lifts to move pallets. In poultry processing plants, children are using sharp knives to debone chickens. In construction, minors are working on roofs and operating power-driven woodworking machines. Over the last two years, several children have been seriously injured, and some have been killed while at work,” the reported unveiled.

The U.S., which fancies itself a “human rights defender” and is quick to point fingers at other nations over human rights violations, is the only one among the 193 UN member states that has not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

Denmark: Embarrassing [Indigenous Greenlandic] “Ethnic-Cleansing” Policy Abandoned! (12.5.2026)

The Guardian Newspaper used to be the best intellectual tome for the left – (about 30-years ago) I used to read it cover to cover (when commuting on long-distance trains) – but its bourgeois, Trotskyite, centre-right political trajectory today just makes me sick. Do not buy it or encourage it. However, every so often there is an article – the content of which is far more important – than the Guardian betraying the working-class. I once met an Icelandic person (and his daughter) who looked “Asian” – and he told me that indigenous peoples in Iceland, Greenland, and elsewhere – were originally from Asia thousands of years ago – but today suffer discrimination from the White Europeans who colonised these areas. Indeed, and perhaps of the greatest irony, is the fact that the racist Trump has attempted to annex Greenland, and this ambition has inadvertently highlighted an extremely “racist” policy hiding in plane sight. Denmark, of course, collaborated with Nazi Germany with many of its men joining Hitler’s SS. The White Danish Authorities inflict a “Civilisation” test on Indigenous people in Greenland to see how “White” they behave. When they fail these racist tests – their children are removed. Absolutely disgusting!

Skwawkbox: UK Firm Refuses Questions on Arms to Israel Seized in Belgium! (1.5.2026)

US aerospace company Moog’s UK subsidiary has declined to comment on the seizure of a consignment of military components by Belgian authorities while en route to Israel. According to a statement released by the Walloonian government, the consignment did not bear a declaration that the items were for military use as required by Belgian law and did not have the compulsory ‘transit licence’.

A second UK arms consignment has now also been seized, though the manufacturer of that one has not yet been named. But the UK company involved in the first one has: Moog, specifically its Wolverhampton facility.
