Well, the far-right have has had its moment in the UK – and it has failed – like an infantry assault that ran-out of inherent momentum, purpose, and point. The British public did not rise-up in support of the fascists – and they are slightly confused by this lack of more general support. The (centre-right) Labour government has imprisoned hundreds (mostly “White”) in quick fashion – but this includes some (Asian) Muslim protestors being arrested whilst opposing the far-right and supporting Palestine. Within the media, I notice more “people of colour” being presented as hunted criminals who are threats to law and order. The Labour government seems to be attempting to placate what it thinks is the “White” majority – who might be disturbed by supposed non-White crime, etc.
All that is cared about is that a politician is seen as supporting Islamic cultural attitudes – and that such a politician can be rightwing or leftwing. Whereas Marxist-Leninists rejects all religiosity in the fight against Zionism (including the ignorance of Islamic theology) – Galloway advocates a rightwing Catholicism and general Islamacist attitude – often influenced by the attitudes of his current partner – who publishes rightwing and far-right attitudes against gay and trans people on her X channel. These fascist attitudes are unacceptable – but who is attacking Galloway’s Workers’ Party? As it is viewed as a pro-Muslim Party – rumour has it that members of Britain’s far-right (possibly within or outside of REFORM) have targeted Galloway’s movement.
Researchers at the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM), an arm of the Muslim Council of Britain, examined nearly 177,000 broadcast clips and 25,515 online news articles published between 7 October and 7 November 2023. The broadcasts were from 13 channels operated by media organisations including Al Jazeera English, the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Sky News and right wing outlets GB News and TalkTV.
The CfMM report, Media Bias: Gaza 2023-2024, also examined news websites published by 28 media organisations including the New Statesman, Economist, Daily Mail, Sun, Mirror, Independent, Guardian, Times, BBC and iNews.
They found that broadcasters referenced Israeli perspectives almost three times as much as Palestinians (4,311 times vs 1,598), while online news outlets presented Israeli perspectives almost twice as much (2,983 times vs 1,737).
On broadcast channels, “Israel’s right to defend itself” was promoted on 1,482 occasions, while the rights of Palestinians were mentioned 278 times, a ratio of 5 to 1.
Ahmed Saleh, a rescue-worker with the Civil Defense Service, said that they sometimes asked people: “Did you hear an explosion nearby?” Saleh points out to Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that “those injured amid the communications outage were unable to communicate,” which represented a greater threat to them. Saleh adds, “Before that, despite the poor quality of the communications network, we were able to receive communications from the wounded, their families, relatives, or neighbours.” But it shows that during the night of Friday and Saturday, anxiety prevailed in the situation, as they did not know “who was martyred and who was injured.”
I once read a Professor in the state that Israel is permitted by the US to carryout it’s continuous Human Rights abuses against the Palestinians (and any other group opposed to Zionist fascism) because the State of Israel – deliberately geographically placed where it is – serves the very important purpose of continuously ‘destabilising’ the Arab and Persian Middle East in the name of US regional interest. The US has given an insane (religiously motivated) State nuclear weapons and continues (from generation to generation) to arm the Israeli Armed Forces with every type of advanced, conventional and unconventional form of weaponry. Indeed, Osama Bin Laden (CIA Operative Colonel Tim Osman) premised the brutality of his originally pro-US Islamo-fascist movement (the Mujahadeen – which then morphed into the anti-US Taliban and Al Qaeda) on this Zionist fascist aggression – which also served as a model for the Christian fascist ‘Blackwater’ (private) military business founded by American (and former Navy Seal) Erik Prince and employed by the US government to kill the indigenous (Islamic) populations of Iraq and Afghanistan!
