Hundreds of thousands joined a new general strike across Italy, in solidarity with the people of Gaza and the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Hundreds of thousands of people have again taken to the streets of Italy in response to a general strike call originally launched by the grassroots union Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) and later joined by some of the country’s largest trade union confederations. As they blocked ports, highways, and industrial zones, protesters delivered a resounding rejection of Giorgia Meloni’s government’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, demanding an immediate end to the attacks and the release of activists kidnapped from the Global Sumud Flotilla.

“Tens of thousands of people took to the streets for the general strike in support of Palestine: this is a huge success,” Giuliano Granato of the left party Potere al Popolo reported from one of the marches. “It shows that there is a majority in the country that is fighting for Palestine and doing what our government has not dared to do for two years.”

The strike came just days after Israeli forces assaulted dozens of vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters, detaining activists, including several Italians. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and other officials failed to act decisively for their protection or release. Instead, they implied Israel had acted with measure and tried to shift the blame on the flotilla for continuing its humanitarian mission despite threats. The government’s attempt to present itself as “sovereignist” fell apart in the face of these events. “This is not a government of sovereignists. This is a government that bows down and prostrates itself before Israel,” Granato said.

In several cities, demonstrators faced heavy police repression. In Padua, more than 10,000 protesters occupying the industrial zone were attacked with water cannons and tear gas. “The march stayed united and we are continuing the blockade,” one participant said. “We want an end to complicity. We want a free Palestine.”

Protesters in Bologna and Naples also pushed through police lines to occupy strategic points. In Naples, at least 50,000 people seized part of the port despite heavy policing. In Bologna, 150,000 blocked major roads. “This is the response of the people to Israel expanding the war, to the government repressing us, to those who want to divide us into good and bad,” Potere al Popolo’s Bologna chapter wrote. “Let’s center our priorities around those who keep this country going every day, with precarious lives, low wages, and insecure jobs. Instead of rearmament and alliances with Israel, let’s lay down arms and raise salaries!”

Union leaders echoed the calls. Maurizio Landini, head of the confederation CGIL, stated: “There are no rights, there is no dignity without peace. True security does not mean increasing spending on weapons, but investing in public health, education, employment, and the redistribution of wealth.”

The strike raised demands for a full arms embargo on Israel, the severing of all ties with the occupation authorities, and an immediate end to the genocide. And there is no end in sight for the mobilization – those who joined the strike are already preparing for Saturday’s national demonstration in Rome, where they will again assert their solidarity and determination to see a free Palestine.

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.

On a Quiet Day EXCLUSIVE: Memo to UK Labour Party members and MPs.

Spread the love

7/9/25 I am republishing this article with a few amendments. The claims that I make in this article are easily confirmed [9.29am ed: verified]. The implications? For a start, a huge amount of BS, corruption, deceit and subversion, etc is exposed.

5/9/25 There’s a part missing from this post i.e.it has been edited by someone else (to the benefit of the UK Labour Party and government).

In the original post I said that JCD uses an alternative reference while Rayner’s remarks use the normal, conventional reference.

Ed: That’s quite an achievement since I’ve got 2 Factor Authorisation (2FA) enabled, I would expect that my host must have been directed to edit it (i.e. by order of a government).

Later ed: And of course nothing is resolved by Rayner’s resignation. JCd was still murdered because of his name.
5/9/25 ENDS

I’ll be doing a message to Labour Party members and MPs explaining why I am so opposed to them, why I hold them responsible for Starmer’s actions (re: support, active participation and complicity in Israel’s Gaza genocide, attacks on the poor and vulnerable), how I intend to continue to oppose the UK Labour party, etc.

so here it is.

Keir "I support Zionism without Qualification" Starmer supporting genocide.
Keir “I support Zionism without Qualification” Starmer supporting genocide.

I started my first blog way back in 1998/99. While one of the earliest blogs, it was occasional and not particularly active. I did some politics and there is reason to believe that it was noticed by the UK Labour Party.

In 2002 I started opposing Tony Blair and Dubya Bush’s then intended Iraq war in NNTP newsgroups. I was active opposing that war and later moved on to opposing Tony Blair and his then Labour government.

Blair and his supporters started attacking me personally while hiding behind words and phrases i.e. words and phrases conveyed a different, deeper meaning apart from their obvious, superficial meaning to those that understood them e.g. Blair’s Home Secretary Cnut John Reid. Blair’s Home Secretaries were all cnuts and I helped despatch some of them.

So I was participating in the political process which is a perfectly legitimate and correct thing to do and the Labour party has started attacking me personally using nasty, dirty tactics, attacking me while hiding really.

Then along came Blair’s butler Ian Blair with so much shit, again attacking me personally while hiding. That whole terrorism shitshow and the murder of JCd with 1-3-7 bullets. JCd was murdered because of his name. His name identified a person by his location.

Deputy Labour Party Leader Angela Rayner calls for police to kill and harass innocent people.
Deputy Labour Party Leader Angela Rayner calls for police to kill and harass innocent people.

Just recently UK Labour Party Deputy Leader Angela Rayner invoked the memory of JCd 137 to again identify a person by his location. I am forced to defend myself.

I have proved myself to be a formidable adversary capable of damaging the UK Labour Party under Tony Blair and now under fellow Zionist Keir “I support Zionism without qualification” Starmer. There are 2 reasons to it: to protect myself and to participate in the political process – to defend the poor and vulnerable like Palestinians suffering Israel’s genocide and the poor, sick and disabled in UK and to protect the planet from Capitalism / Neo-Liberalism.

Part of it is that I have repeatedly proved my analysis to be accurate and correct. I am intending to hurt the labour party in the months before the next general election although tbh it looks like Starmer is destroying the UK Labour Party and that there is no need. I admit that I sometimes don’t achieve all the projects that I set out to do but at least I have given myself enough time.

Starmer & Co are being hugely confrontational to the UK electorate atm. It’s dangerous because it can’t be maintained.

Starmer has captured the Labour Party to support his own narrow interests – to support Israel’s genocide. He’s said so hasn’t he? “I support genocide Zionism without qualification.”

I want international law upheld, that Starmer and his accomplices are prosecuted and imprisoned for war crimes.

UK Labour Party government ministers Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner and Rachel Reeves explain that they are partners complicit in Israel's Gaza genocide. The UK has provided Israel with arms, military and air force support. They explain that they don't do gas chambers but do do forced marches, starvation, destroy hospitals, mass-murders of journalists and healthcare workers.

I intended to delete the following before publication, Oh well.

 

defend myself from personal attacks by prominent Labourists,

I am capable adversary

but have to continue

to defend myself

I have enough of an effect to significantly damage the Labour party

- it is actually what should happen in a democratic society, being active, participating in politics

why

a response to being

personally attackad by the whole Labour party

Ian Blair

glad that Fascnut is dead

John Reid

many Labour Home Secretaries

Angela Rayner - how should that be interpreted if not addressed personally and hostile, the relationship to JCd, that JCd was also killed to identify an individuals address. Why? The obvious answer is so that individual to be murdered. Huge double standards of course, politicians would hate for their home addresses to be published. Why should there be that double standard?


Starmer has captured teh Labour party to pursue his own interests - to support Israel's genocide

Starmer is being very confrontational against the majority of his electorate, can't maintain that 3 or 4 years until the next election

- support of Israel's genocide, use of terrorism laws against legitimate political opponents, protesters
- attacks on the poor, sick and disabled



22/7/25 6.15pm

Uncertain if I made “… why I hold them responsible for Starmer’s actions … ” clear. Labour members and MPs are held responsible because they are facilitating Starmer & Co and it is done in their name.

25/7/25 Wants some hints?

JCd: There were 2 bakers on LC then.

JCd: Addresses nearby Rd/Road give you 6s and 7

700 days of Israeli genocide in Gaza a stain on humanity: Hamas

The Palestinian resistance group Hamas marked 700 days of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza on Friday, calling it a “stain on humanity” and urging the international community to take decisive action against the ongoing atrocities, Anadolu reports.

In a statement, Hamas highlighted its efforts to reach a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange agreement, stressing that it had “shown significant flexibility” in negotiations.

The movement blamed the repeated failure of mediators on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and called him “a war criminal committed to undermining diplomatic initiatives, pursuing indefinite plans of extermination and displacement, and placing the lives of captives at risk to serve his government’s agenda.”

Hamas renewed its call to the international community, including Arab and Islamic countries, the UN, and its organs, particularly the UN Security Council, to “fulfill their responsibilities toward the Palestinian people and intervene to halt the crimes of the fascist occupation government.”

The movement emphasized the need for “punitive measures against Israel,” warning that “mere condemnations are insufficient” and that, without substantial consequences, Israel would “continue its crimes without regard for international protests or positions.”

Hamas also praised global grassroots solidarity with the Palestinian people and welcomed the launch of the Global Sumud Flotilla, an initiative to break the blockade on Gaza.

The ongoing war in Gaza has entered its 700th day on Friday, with Israel having killed more than 64,200 Palestinians. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
