Israel has destroyed a cemetery in the Gaza Strip containing the remains of 22 Canadian soldiers killed in the first UN peacekeeping initiative in 1956, according to media reports Wednesday.

“It’s like there’s no headstones anymore,” Lia Bons, whose brother Adriann is buried in the cemetery, told CBC News. “It just looks like dirt, gravel, sand.”

An officer with the Israel military admitted that soldiers in the Brigade Combat Team dug down to a depth of 20 – 30 meters (66 to 98 feet) under the cemetery to destroy a Hamas tunnel in February and no measures were taken to safeguard the remains of the soldiers because the operation was conducted under combat conditions.

The Gaza War Cemetery in the Tuffah district of Gaza City has been repeatedly damaged by Israel. The Canadians buried there died during the first UN peacekeeping operation following the Israeli invasion of Egypt in 1956, the CBC reported. They are the last of the Canadian soldiers to be interred overseas.

The Israeli military has destroyed headstones, used earthmoving equipment in the cemetery, and located tanks around the cemetery.

The families of the victims want the Canadian government to do more to safeguard the remains, and some want the government to bring home the remains.

Marguerite Picard wants her brother Paul to be returned and buried beside his mother and father.

“I’m quite certain that my parents would want my brother to be repatriated,” she said. “I would put him next to mom and dad, and have his name written on the headstone, so that people know he’s there.”

How Secret Pro-Israel Money Flooded the Labour Party and Ended with a Ban of Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur

Story by Paul Holden

… Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government is not really a Labour government; it came to power on the back of a secret project to wrest control of the Labour Party back from an ascendant left wing. This secret project was resourced by illegally undeclared money from wealthy donors, funneled through a seemingly anodyne think tank called Labour Together. It involved covertly seeding promiscuous claims of antisemitism against political opponents, attempting to silence independent media that threatened to expose its project, and—ultimately—developing the dishonest leadership pitch that allowed Keir Starmer to trick a left-wing membership to elect him leader.

Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary responsible for the ban on Piker and Uygur, was one of a ‘brave band’ of eight MPs that guided the Labour Together project during the leadership of Starmer’s left-wing predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn.

The MP who has most loudly demanded Piker and Uygur’s banning is David Taylor. Elected in 2024 as part of the Labour’s landslide, Taylor was closely vetted and approved by a Labour Party bureaucracy reporting directly to Labour Together’s long-time former managing director. And the single largest donor to Taylor’s election campaign was Labour Together.

Piker and Uygur were not banned by the Labour Party—they were banned by the Labour Together party. The primary architect of the Labour Together project is Morgan McSweeney, who was, until recently, Starmer’s chief of staff and widely understood as the real force running the government. McSweeney resigned in February after it was revealed he had pushed Peter Mandelsohn as the UK’s ambassador to the U.S., despite knowing of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

I know McSweeney’s capacity for destroying free speech—and especially criticism of Israel—first-hand. I have been investigating the Labour Together Project since 2021, setting out my findings in my book, “The Fraud.” As a result, I was one of multiple journalists targeted by Labour Together. I was reported by Labour Together to the UK’s cybersecurity agency, in an apparent attempt to catalyze criminal investigations into me and my colleagues.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

Nigel Farage: I can spend £5m gift on Ferraris or betting on horses if I want

Nigel Farage has said his £5m gift from a crypto billionaire is “not any of your business” as it was given unconditionally to be spent on anything from Ferraris to gambling on horses.

Challenged over why he initially said it was for his personal security, and then that it was a reward for Brexit, Farage said: “Because it was given as an unconditional gift, right? The understanding is, and you know very well, you know very well I’ve been physically more attacked over many years than any other politician.”

Pressed again on whether he had been giving different accounts about the purpose of the money, he said: “Look, there are not two stories. One is I was given the money unconditionally.

The gift is under investigation by parliament’s standards commissioner, as it was handed over in the months before Farage returned as an MP in 2024 – leading to accusations that it should have been declared.

In an earlier interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Farage said it was not hypocritical of him to have attacked Keir Starmer for receiving donations of glasses and suits, because the Labour politician had been “the leader of the opposition and I was a presenter on GB News”.

That my Android phone secretly reboots at 1.50am. I say secretly because it doesn’t ask for it’s password and does it every day at 1.50a.m. when I’m supposed to be asleep and not notice.

That it also provides location data to the local police. It provides elevation as well as ground location. Think that it’s AI, I try to confuse it sometimes.

That police cars sound an alarm when I get close to them. It’s an alarm to tell them that I’m nearby.

That digital devices act strangely around me e.g. other peoples’ phones refuse to ring because they’re recording the conversation instead. Many digital devices behave strangely – POS tills, etc. It’s almost as if there’s fuzzy logic probing them and very often disabling them.

Anyway the point of this is that it has to be authorised by Fascist Labour Party Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood who wants a panopticon to know how often and indeed where you shit and who is attending to your private parts.

But it actually goes far beyond watching & the New Labour Fascist Fascists interfere in my attempts to make friends and meet people. I think that is a basic human right that the New Labour Fascist Fascists are interfering with in addition to their strange, overwhelming interest in when and where I poo.

And of course, I’m a Democratice Socialist opposed to the Fascist, Genocidal New Labour government engaging in the democratic process as people are entitled to.

GCHQ as civil servants should be politically impartial and not engage in activities that support a particular political party or perspective. I am clearly promoting opposition to the Labour Party and that should be permitted and even protected in a democratic society. I particularly object to state agents interfering in my private affairs.

ed: 40 second delay to BBC radio stations. I’m uncertain what that’s supposed to achieve. Is it that everything is routed via Langley, Virginia? ed:ed: The Langley comment is not meant seriously.

ed:ed:ed: I consider that it’s a deliberate attempt to isolate me which I regard as being particularly evil. I intend to respond better to defend myself.

24/6/26 3.55pm Prevent sending photos. There’s paranoia here that there might be hidden messages in the photos when the reality is that they’re photos of kittens, the Severn Bridge, bicycles – stuff people send photos of. It’s strange since they’re controlling the phone so see that there is no post-processing so it’s real paranoia about time and date stamp, etc to people I hardly know.

28/6/26 8.40am There was a nasty tacky ink on the entrance to my block of flats when I returned early this morning. OIt had been wiped away by the time I had cleaned my hand. I’ve been switching my phone off, why should I help them harass me, interfere in my life? I regard the ink as harassment, there is no need to use a nasty highly-visible ink. Someone is taking the piss.
