Israel Is Building A CONCENTRATION CAMP In Gaza
UK media are covering up British spy flights for Israel

Britain’s obedient defence correspondents are refusing to report a story of clear public interest in the middle of a genocide.
Published in collaboration with The National
Britain’s mainstream media have not carried out a single investigation into the extent, impact or legal status of the more than 500 surveillance flights over Gaza that the RAF has carried out since December 2023.
The Ministry of Defence continues to insist that the operations, carried out by Shadow R1 aircraft based at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, are designed purely to assist with the discovery of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on 7 October 2023.
It appears that Britain’s obedient defence correspondents have no appetite to challenge this or even to raise the slightest concern about the legal or ethical implications of providing intelligence support to Israel in the middle of a genocide.
Yet thanks to dogged work by campaigners, independent journalists and pro-Palestine MPs, we know both that the flights are continuing to operate (as they did even throughout the ceasefire) and that spikes in the number of flights have coincided with especially deadly Israeli attacks on Gaza.
The lack of curiosity on the part of mainstream media is perhaps not surprising but it is deeply troubling.
…
Out of 993 stories on the “defence review” in UK media on 2 June, a tiny handful took the time even to acknowledge the existence of significant public opposition to increases in defence spending, particularly at the expense of cuts to public services.
The vast majority of published criticism of Labour’s defence plans come from the Tories or military voices arguing that “this is too little, too late” or that it isn’t clear where the money will come from. There is, apparently, no space for hard news content that investigates whether increased defence spending is either effective nor necessary.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media’s continuing silence on RAF spy flights over Gaza is a flagrant abdication of their stated responsibility to ask tough questions of military planners.
Far from holding power to account, mainstream media – through their silence and meekness – are allowing the government to get away with murder in Gaza.

Resident doctors vote for strikes that could hit the NHS for six months
https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/resident-doctors-vote-strikes-could-hit-nhs-six-months
Junior doctors and members of the British Medical Association (BMA) outside Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, January 3, 2024THE NHS could face six months of disruption after resident doctors in England voted in favour of strike action today.
Downing Street said that pay negotiations would not be reopened because the government “can’t be more generous” than it has been already this year.
Some 90 per cent of voting resident doctors in England, formerly known as junior doctors, said they would down stethoscopes and take to picket lines amid an ongoing row over pay.
The British Medical Association (BMA) said that there had been a turnout of 55 per cent and that resident doctors needed an increase of 29.2 per cent to reverse “pay erosion” since 2008-09.
The union added that there was “still time to avert strike action” and urged the government to “come forward as soon as possible with a credible path to pay restoration.”

McCluskey warns Labour could lose trade union support to new party
Len McCluskey talks on stage during a live debate, at the Labour Live event at White Hart Lane Recreation Ground, north London, June 16, 2019LABOUR could lose trade union support to a new party of the left, former union leader Len McCluskey has warned.
Mr McCluskey, general secretary of Unite the union from 2011 to 2021, told GB News that the new party called for by independent MPs Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn could prove attractive to disillusioned trade unionists.
“If this new party demonstrates it’s credible, then trade unions will consider their affiliations,” he said.
“If the new party proves credible, then I will join it, I will campaign for it and I will urge individuals and trade unions to give their support.

The ‘economy of genocide’ report: a reckoning beyond rhetoric
https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/economy-genocide-report-reckoning-beyond-rhetoric
Israeli army vehicles moves in the Gaza Strip as seen from southern Israel on July 6, 2025RAMZY BAROUD highlights a new report by special rapporteur Francesca Albanese that unflinchingly names and shames the companies that have enabled Israel’s bloody massacre in Gaza
FRANCESCA ALBANESE, the United Nations special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in occupied Palestine, stands as a testament to the notion of speaking truth to power. This “power” is not solely embodied by Israel or even the United States, but by an international community whose collective relevance has tragically failed to stem the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Her latest report, From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide, submitted to the UN Human Rights Council on July 3, marks a seismic intervention. It unflinchingly names and implicates companies that have not only allowed Israel to sustain its war and genocide against Palestinians, but also confronts those who have remained silent in the face of this unfolding horror.
Albanese’s “economy of genocide” is far more than an academic exercise or a mere moral statement in a world whose collective conscience is being brutally tested in Gaza. The report is significant for multiple, interlocking reasons. Crucially, it offers practical pathways to accountability that transcend mere diplomatic and legal rhetoric. It also presents a novel approach to international law, positioning it not as a delicate political balancing act, but as a potent tool to confront complicity in war crimes and expose the profound failures of existing international mechanisms in Gaza.
