"He hates Muslims but he's in a Muslim country." Far-right figure Tommy Robinson was called out on camera in Dubai while attempting to give an interview to IFL TV ahead of a Misfits Boxing event. During the exchange, boxer Ty Mitchell questioned Robinson over his long record of targeting Muslims and asked why he rarely focuses on crimes committed by white offenders. Mitchell also raised the contradiction of Robinson being in a Muslim country despite his anti-Muslim rhetoric. The discussion became heated and the interview was cut short, with footage of the confrontation later circulating widely online. Tommy Robinson, who changed his real name from Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, is known for his anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric. He co-founded the English Defence League, a far-right, anti-immigrant organisation, in 2009 and led it until 2013. He has also been involved with other far-right groups, including the British National Party and Pegida UK. Critics have long said Robinson receives funding and support from zionist and pro-Israel entities, and has posed with an IDF shirt.

If you are disgusted by this, and subsequently protest about your government’s complicity in it, you aren’t ‘hateful’. Quite the opposite in fact. From @OborneTweets latest (excellent) book.

Footage: Israeli soldiers executing two Palestinians Today (Thursday), during an Israeli military raid on the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank, soldiers were filmed shooting two Palestinians at point-blank range, killing Yusef ’Asa’sah, 39 years old, and al-Muntaser bel-lah ‘Abdallah, 26 years old. The footage shows the two Palestinians, defined by the military as wanted, being brought out of the building by soldiers and surrendering to them. The soldiers then order them to go back inside and sit on the ground – and then execute them, apparently while posing no threat to the forces. B’Tselem’s Executive Director, Yuli Novak, said: “The execution documented today is the result of an accelerated process of dehumanization of Palestinians and the complete abandonment of their lives by the Israeli regime. In Israel, there is no mechanism that acts to stop the killing of Palestinians or is capable of prosecuting those responsible. It is therefore the duty of the international community to end Israel’s impunity and hold accountable those responsible for planning and carrying out its criminal policies against the Palestinian people.” Since October 2023, Israeli forces and settlers have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the West Bank. The perpetrators, whether soldiers or settlers, are granted full impunity by Israel’s legal and law-enforcement systems.

Was great to meet and re-connect with some of the crew from Selvedge in London last week. The film has had a really good festival fun, including picking up best Sci-Fi at Phoenix Rising, and will be available to steam very soon.

Genuinely recommend reading this. It reads like a piece of public relations by the Labour Party. Given the circumstances facing the country, that’s quite unsettling.

A day of ordinary ceasefire in Gaza: Israel killing 28 Palestinians amidst the silence of the states that just voted a ‘peace’ plan. The neverending suffering of the Palestinians and the sinister politicking around it, are the shame of our times.
