Palestinians wait to get donated food at a distribution center in Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip, April 7, 2025
THE British government has changed its rhetoric on the Gaza genocide. The more it does so, the more its actual policy stands exposed as politically and morally bankrupt.
Ministers have deprecated Israel’s renewed offensive in Gaza, and express mounting concern at the criminal slaughter of aid workers in particular, as well as the unbridled terror and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. They urge an immediate restoration of the ceasefire.
In this it reflects the views of many in all parties, and most in all except perhaps the Tories. Israel’s outspoken defenders are a breed diminishing by the day in the Commons.
And yet this shift has not been accompanied by the slightest modification in policy.
Genocide denier and Current UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is quoted that he supports Zionism without qualification. He also confirms that UK air force support has been essential in Israel’s mass-murdering genocide.

“It was never about ‘legal’ immigration, but always about upholding white supremacy,” said one human rights lawyer.
In yet another Trump administration attack on migrants, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday announced that nearly 1 million migrants who entered the country legally using a Customs and Border Protection mobile application must leave “immediately” or face consequences including potential criminal prosecution.
DHS notified migrants who were granted temporary parole protection after entering the country using the CBP One app—which was launched by the Biden administration in 2020 and upgraded in 2023—that “it is time for you to leave the United States.”
The department “mis now exercising its discretion to terminate your parole,” the agency said in an email to affected—and more than 200,000 unaffected—migrants. “Unless it expires sooner, your parole will terminate seven days from the date of this notice.”
“If you do not deport from the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal,” the notice continues. “You will be subject to potential criminal prosecution, civil fines, and penalties, and any other lawful options available to the federal government.”
The Trump administration is revoking the legal status of migrants who entered the U.S. via the Biden-era CBP One app, instructing them to leave the immediately or face arrest.

“DHS encourages you to leave immediately on your own,” the notice stresses, providing a link to a new app—called CBP Home—containing “a self-deportation reporting feature for aliens illegally in the country.”
“Do not attempt to remain in the United States. The federal government will find you,” DHS ominously added.
Approximately 985,000 migrants used the problem-plagued CBP One app to schedule appointments with U.S. immigration officials when arriving at ports of entry and were generally permitted to remain in the country for two years with work authorization.
However, DHS claimed Monday that “the Biden administration abused the parole authority to allow millions of illegal aliens into the U.S. which further fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history.”
“Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect national security,” the agency added.
President Donald Trumpended new CBP One entries on January 20, his first day in office, via executive order, a move that left thousands of vulnerable migrants stranded in Mexico after their immigration appointments were canceled.
Monday’s announcement does not affect people who entered the U.S. under Operation Allies Welcome for Afghans or the Uniting for Ukraine program—although more than 200,000 Ukrainian beneficiaries last week received a separate jarring email mistakenly informing them that their status had been revoked.
The new policy also “should not immediately affect migrants who entered via CBP One and applied for asylum and have pending cases in immigration court,” according to CBS News immigration and politics reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez, who noted that “the government generally has to wait for those cases to be adjudicated or terminated before moving to deport.”
More than 500,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants who entered the country via the CBP One app with U.S.-based financial sponsors are also bracing for the loss of their protected status on April 24. Additionally, the Trump administration announced the revocation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 1 million Haitian and Venezuelan migrants.
However, on March 31 a federal judge in San Francisco blocked the administration’s effort to expel 350,000 Venezuelan TPS recipients, finding that the deportations were “motivated by unconstitutional animus” and would “inflict irreparable harm” upon affected migrants.
Critics have accused the Trump administration and its supporters of reveling in the cruelty inherent in forcibly removing migrants.
This isn’t policy. This is state-sponsored dehumanization—with a soundtrack.
Weaponizing suffering. Mocking lives torn apart. Celebrating cruelty like it’s a game show.
This is how fascism talks when it thinks no one can stop it. We see you. And we will stop you.…
Proponents, meanwhile, say Trump is keeping his promise to carry out the largest mass deportation campaign in U.S. history—even as statistics show that the Biden administration deported people at a faster rate last year.
Migrants and other immigrants, including those who legally sought asylum in the United States—at least one of whom was wrongfully expelled—are being sent by the Trump administration to destinations including a camp in the Panamanian jungle and an ultra-high security prison in El Salvador.
Advocacy groups argue that such deportations are unlawful and violate deportees’ rights. Human Rights Watch has documented cases of “torture, ill-treatment, incommunicado detention, severe violations of due process, and inhumane conditions, such as lack of access to adequate healthcare and food” in Salvadoran prisons.
Responding to Monday’s DHS announcement, U.S. human rights attorney Qasim Rashid noted on social media that “985K migrants entered [the] USA through legal means during the previous administration.”
“Trump just unilaterally revoked their legal status,” Rashid added. “It was never about ‘legal’ immigration, but always about upholding white supremacy. This man is a fascist.”
Allen Orr Jr., a Washington, D.C.-based immigration lawyer, lamented Tuesday that “migrants who followed the rules and entered legally through CBP One are now being punished.”
“Not because they broke the law, but because of who granted them the benefit,” he added. “This isn’t about security; it’s about revenge.”

DOSSIER: The lawyers hand in the evidence to New Scotland Yard
POLICE are assessing evidence that 10 British nationals committed war crimes in Gaza including sniping down children and aid workers.
Lawyers handed evidence accusing the group of the murder and torture of civilians while on active service with the Israeli military to the Metropolitan Police’s war crimes unit yesterday.
Speaking outside New Scotland Yard, they said their 240-page dossier is “just the tip of the iceberg,” with reports of more than 100 Britons having served with Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) since October 2023.
Nearly 100 legal and human rights experts have signed a letter urging the War Crimes Team to investigate the dossier by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) and the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC).
PILC legal director and founder Paul Heron said that the report is based on six months of extensive evidence-gathering using open-source evidence and witness testimony.
It shows 10 Britons “committed war crimes and crimes against humanity while serving for the Israeli military on active service in Gaza,” he said.
SINCE the Netanyahu government engineered the collapse of the ceasefire, Israel’s crimes in Gaza have escalated horrifically, killing 400 people in one night and more than 100 children a day on average since last month.
Israel has been exposed executing paramedics and rescue workers and hiding their bodies and vehicles and has killed more journalists during the genocide than died during the US civil war, both world wars, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Russia combined.

Paramedics across England are watching patients die in the back of ambulances because of delays outside emergency departments, according to a survey by Unison.
The gridlock of patients in some of the country’s hospitals has led to queues of up to 20 ambulances outside casualty departments in certain areas. In a number of cases, crews have been forced to wait more than 12 hours before handing over patients.
The survey of nearly 600 ambulance workers reveals the toll of the waits on patients and the crews looking after them. Unison warns that “car park care” is increasingly becoming the norm, with hospital medical staff tending to patients in the back of ambulances.
More than three-quarters (77%) of paramedics and emergency medical technicians said they have had to look after people in the back of ambulances in the past year while stuck outside emergency departments. Two-thirds (68%) have waited in hospital corridors, or in other locations, with one paramedic often caring for several patients to allow colleagues to respond to other calls.
More than two-thirds also reported patients’ health deteriorating during long waits, and one in 20 (5%) said people have died in their care because of long delays in being admitted.

Donald Trump is repeating the same mistakes of short-lived former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss. It’s not a few uber-rich individuals that maintain economic health, concentrating wealth is unhealthy. The rich wouldn’t be rich if they were willing to spend their money. It is the poor that are forced to spend to survive, they have no choice. Making the poor poorer to make a tiny minority richer is counter-productive as markets globally are showing.
Additionally, Trump is a sullen, arrogant bigot unwilling to recognise the overwhelming urgency of climate action. Even marine mammals recognise this.
