There are many more “mix and match” inconvenient truths in the game and business of theistic religion. It is a great and evil threat to the existence of humanity and appears to be a by-product of the evolutionary process. As Jews have been filmed kicking, punching, and spitting on Christians visiting the Holy Land – it is astonishing the West still continues to arms and political protect the rogue State of Israel!
So, here is the choice – a left-leaning Islamicist regime (that also attracts centrist and right-wing Islamic views) vs a right-leaning Zionist regime (funded by the US) – that is rejected by the left in the West. The analysis in the below article might be termed “secular” in the modern sense, as it attempts to materially (and impartially) assess the existential material conditions pertaining to the US-Israeli War on Iran. I say “impartial” – but of course this assessment is from a (capitalist) bourgeois perspective. It is as impartial as a US university can muster – and only then because there is a system-wde dissatisfaction with the Trump regime. Remember, Obama (the Democrat) threatened Iran with a military invasion, and the destruction of Iran is as popular with the Democrats as it is with the Republicans. The type of discontent being expressed below is really about attacking Trump and his decisions. If a different leader was in power in the US – who had not attacked the US education system – most US universities would be pumping-out pro-war ideology by now. Press TV, of course, appears to be a UK based, left-leaning Islamicist-friendly channel supported by disaffected leftists (and former Labour MPs) – that pursues its own amorphous (but slightly Trotskyite) agenda. Marxist-Leninists must learn to “see through” the propaganda (left and right) and extract the required material details from it. This is one of our required survival skills – living within the capitalist system.
The English woman then said that she could soon take-off her scarf and look and act “like a British woman” free of Islamic oppression (a viewpoint commonly expressed throughout UK media – to justify the UK’s ongoing sanctions and aggression against Iran). The shocked looking Muslim woman replied that it is not Islam that is the problem – but rather the “Socialism” that Iran practices! “Why should the lazy receive help from the wealth-off?” – she opined. She added that viewpoints suggesting that Muslim women should take-off their headscarves are “racist”. There then followed a bemused silence between the two. Ironically, I have been told that this woman (and her family) arrived in the UK as illegal immigrants, were given a free house, the car, healthcare, and everything else that comes with the Human Rights Act – and despite benefitting from a British Socialism no longer applied to the British people themselves – this is the kind of attitude she holds. I suppose she does not mind the British and US bombs that are currently tearing Iranians to pieces in the name of Zionist Israel – just as long as she benefits from the relative security the British Mainland offers her. Even though the presence of people like her in the UK is fuelling a resurgence of the far-right.
I bet Sgt Brian McGuinness (a name of Irish descent) thought that when he joined-up he was defending the very “freedom of speech” he was so brutally deprived yesterday by a thuggish-Senator (yet another Vet) and members of the Capitol (Americans cannot spell) police force. Let’s recap this police force – shall we? When Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 (motivated by the lie that Trump had won the election) – video footage shows Capital police officers laughing and joking with protestors, sharing food, drink, and cigarettes, and even removing barricades to allow protestors through – wishing them luck as they went on their way. Officers on duty within the building turned their backs, left their posts, and unlocked security doors to enable the storming. What a difference a few years make – and a change of government. Sgt Brian McGuinness, whilst in uniform, committed no act of aggression or violence – but simply exercised his freedom of speech. The way he was treated demonstrates just how far the US has descended down the path of fascism!

Legal expert Paul Heron of the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC) sounded the alarm about the grave concerns regarding the significant number of Britons who were in violation of international law.
“There must be no impunity where credible evidence links British nationals to grave breaches of international law,” he said
“Where dual nationals have served in units implicated in atrocities, the authorities must investigate promptly and, where the evidence meets the threshold, pursue arrest and prosecution like any other serious crime,” he added.
Last year, a 240-page complaint was submitted to the Metropolitan Police war crimes unit, naming 10 Britons accused of “targeted killing of civilians and aid workers, including by sniper fire, and indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas.”
One of the legal experts involved with the case, Michael Mansfield, an English barrister, said, “British nationals are under a legal obligation not to collude with crimes committed in Palestine.” He emphasized that “No one is above the law.”
The report comes as part of a broader legal push by advocacy groups in the UK to pursue the figures involved in the Israeli regime’s ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, which kicked off in October 2023 and has resulted in more than 72,000 Palestinians dead and 90% of Gaza destroyed.
