It is the unity of all communities that can take on the rich and powerful — and win.

October 7, didn’t happen because “Palestinians” were denied a state, it happened because they were given one.

: 40px”>Coverage of Maryam’s tragic case involved deliberate omission. She has siblings – all apparently healthy. In some of the photos, they were present on the same mattress. Editors cropped them out, because their health would expose the lie.
If this were widespread famine, her siblings and mother would also show signs of starvation. They do not….
A whistleblower at an NGO inside Gaza, unhappy at the global deception, shared evidence of Maryam’s medical file from Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital….
The report is clear: Maryam became sick 18 months ago, long before famine was even discussed. She suffers from intestinal malabsorption. Her body cannot properly absorb nutrients. She was given food, therapeutic milk, and medication – but she could not absorb them…. Does this sound like a place of mass starvation and famine? This is a treatment protocol for complicated severe malnutrition. It is specialist medical care, not famine relief. She is not being starved. She is being treated.
Both these "starvation" stories seem to have been supplied by the same journalist – and mainstream news channels were very keen to report them. Fits with the narrative.
This is not sloppy journalism. It is not an innocent mistake. It is the same trick, deployed twice in as many weeks, by the same actors. That is proof that legacy media are not being misled – they are knowingly promoting a lie.
esht was removed from an exhibition after complaints from staff, while gender-critical authors have been excluded from this month's Edinburgh International Book Fair. Also, Nicola Sturgeon has just published her much derided autobiography. Hadley Freeman – Scotland is sullied by the cult of gender ideology:
As you may have noticed, Nicola Sturgeon is now promoting her memoir by trying to solve — in real time — that classic philosophical puzzle, “If a tree falls in a forest, and a double rapist identifies as a woman, can I blame JK Rowling?” That particular rapist was Adam Bryson — now known as “Isla Bryson” — who transitioned after being arrested in 2019 for raping two women and, thanks to Sturgeon’s monomaniacal obsession with gender ideology, was briefly remanded to a women’s prison. Sturgeon still can’t bring herself to say that this rapist is a man: “I sometimes still seem as if I’m struggling with how to define Isla Bryson,” Sturgeon conceded. Did I mention that Sturgeon’s memoir is called Frankly?
It’s unsurprising that Sturgeon and the NLS and EIBF are suppressing words. When you’ve convinced yourself two plus two equals rainbow, you can’t look at the number four. Maybe the weird narcissism of the SNP, and the way it dominates its country’s institutions, encourages a cultish mentality. But the arc of history will always bend towards the extremely obvious truth, and everyone who fights it will look like the mad little witch-hunter they are. Frankly, Scotland, get a grip.
Scotland certainly stands out compared to England for its commitment to gender ideology, but there's always Australia. And, of course, Canada:
Amy Hamm (@preta_6) has been slapped with a fine just shy of $100,000 simply for stating on social media that men are not women. How insane is our College of Nurses and Midwives to be conducting witch hunts against nurses as our healthcare system bursts at the seams!? pic.twitter.com/okC0KZw6cP

’s about the principles of open debate and free speech, which to the national library should be sacrosanct.
“It isn’t too late to redeem the situation. But if there is not a change of heart, I feel I will have no choice but to publicly dissociate myself from the exhibition and the campaign that surrounds it.
“This stupid escapade does not undo the very good work the library does, but it should never have happened.
“I couldn’t say definitely that I will not donate any more money if they stick to their guns on this, but it has certainly given me pause for thought. That makes me incredibly sad.”
It's always the same story – management running scared and caving in to the demands of their trans-fixed young staff.
“This book [The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht] was clearly selected to be included, and frankly the management were then bullied out of that by a staff lobby group.
“They say they’ve removed this book to protect relationships with stakeholders. But they certainly didn’t consult me and if they had, I would have voiced strong opposition. I am angry and disappointed at the decision to remove the book as well as the implication that as a stakeholder, I am somehow supportive of it, which I am not.”

Once upon a time, the views of public servants such as librarians were both unknown and considered irrelevant. Professionalism meant separating the personal from the job. Now, thanks to social media’s culture of exhibitionism, the distinction between public and private has collapsed. Middle-class jobs in the cultural sector – which generally come with modest pay but high status – have become magnets for zealots whose main professional output seems to be policing the ideological hygiene of bookshelves and flaunting their lanyards.
The result is an arms race of censorship, in which public servants signal to their peers that they possess the approved views. What the public thinks – the great unwashed who actually fund these institutions – barely registers. If the staff at the National Library did not like the choices the Scottish people made, perhaps they should not have asked them in the first place.
Stop calling it ‘curation’. Call it what it is: censorship in the service of the cultural elite.
>Ukrainians who had stayed up late to watch the spectacle were seeing the "legitimisation of a war criminal at the highest level", said Oleksandr Kovalenko, a Ukrainian writer and political analyst.
r, Amir, who travelled to the game, nevertheless called on Uefa to intervene over the “hypocrisy” of a decision made a day after the governing body displayed its own sign on the pitch when Tottenham played Paris St-Germain in Udine, Italy.
He was quoted in Israeli media saying: “We demand that Uefa reverse this shameful decision and allow us to hold his flag and signs until he returns home alive and well.”
A spokesperson for the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) also said: “Rom Braslavski has been held captive by terrorists for nearly two years in conditions deliberately intended to prolong his suffering. To European football, Jewish lives don’t matter.”
e Sports, the “LGBTIQ+ inclusion charity working to make sports a welcoming place for everyone”.
This charity publicly opposed moves to ban transgender women from female competitions, including the FA’s new rules barring trans players from women’s and girls’ football leagues.
Some members of the cast were said to be uncomfortable with Ms Edwards’ positions on women’s rights, sport and her opposition to gender ideology – the belief that self-identification rather than biological sex defines womanhood.
This led to some trouble behind the scenes in the days before a group of cast members made their on-stage appeal, and there were concerns about a potential protest or “nastiness”.
Ms Edwards said: “They had not done it before, or on other dates. It was for my benefit.”
She added: “They are in a little bubble, and I don’t think they think for themselves. They are not activists; they are sheep.
“The irony of spending 90 minutes singing and dancing in celebration of women fighting for their rights in sport, only to trample all over those rights at the end, is off the scale.”
Well said.
Heather Binning, the founder of the gender-critical Women’s Rights Network, said: “Tracy Edwards is an icon for women who proved her mettle in the male-dominated world of sailing with an all-woman crew, astonishing many, and celebrated by many more.
“To use and exploit that achievement is an insult to women everywhere, and particularly to Tracy herself.
“To try to score woke points by making a statement in support of a so-called ‘trans’ project is quite beyond belief.”
