Very good by @JamesHeartfield "Some have called for the exhibition to be banned, but that would be a mistake. On the contrary, Matthew Collings has done us a great service by showing us the disturbed mind of the anti-Israel activist." spiked-online.com/2026/03/29/the…

Green Party candidate Tope Olawoyin has resigned after claiming the arson attack on four Jewish ambulances in Golders Green was an "inside job" by Jews themselves. She posted on X: “I can say with almost absolute certainty the men arrested are white… probably even Jewish.”

actually the definitive book is Oren Kessler, Palestine 1936 : The Great Revolt and the Roots of the Middle East Conflict . And there are lots of critical reviews of the film pointing out omissions ( Haj Amin al Husseini; the murder of 2 Jews that sparked the revolt & distortions.
Simon Nixon@Simon_Nixon

For those who have seen Palestine 36 (and those who haven’t!) and want to know more about the Palestinian Revolt of 1936-1939, I highly recommend this episode of @EmpirePodUK @DalrympleWill podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/299…

Moral imbeciles assumed that the attack on the Golders Green Jewish ambulance volunteers must have been a 'false flag' by Jews to garner sympathy only betrayed their prejudices. Here's hoping the charges against Hamza Iqbal, 20 and Rehan Khan, 19, will silence that speculation.

It was inspiring to watch the Artemis II launch yesterday — @NASA’s first crewed mission around the moon since 1972. Our space program has always captured an essential part of what it means to reach beyond what we thought was possible, and I hope the four brave astronauts on this mission will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps.

The scenes from Clapham are shocking. Masked youths causing mayhem for fun. Our cowardly elites emboldened this mob behaviour. They gave up on disciplining kids and even on punishing petty crime. They caused this anti-social chaos, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/ZSWxxzM

Heartbreaking 💔 This morning, right after President Trump’s speech, the Iranian regime moved fast and hanged 18-year-old protester. Yes, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, there are no “less radical” leaders in Iran. From the courtroom to the prison cell, from the interrogator to the judge, this is a unified system of terror. So this is the Islamic Republic: a system with a Stone Age approach to dissent, executing its own young people to stay in power. This is not about left or right. This is about life, dignity, and the future of a nation. His name is Amirhossein Hatami. 18 years old. His “crime”? Demanding Freedom, dignity, and a normal life. No lawyer. No independent media to be his voice, No fair trial. No final goodbye to his family. But of course a forced confession on State TV after being tortured to admit a crime that he has committed never committed. And his friends may be next. By the way, where are the anti-war activists? Why don’t we hear you campaigning against mass arrests, and executions in Iran ? Would you demand that the Iranian regime stop its war on unarmed people? Stop the executions. Stop the torture. End the total #DigitalBlackOut imposed on Iran. This is about standing with the people of Iran against a regime that has massacred more than 40,000 of its own citizens and is now killing those arrested in the same uprising

Unless VERY robust steps are taken, and serious consequences applied to tackle the chaos seen in Clapham over the last few days - we are in for a VERY long and unpleasant summer holiday in a few months. It's tough enough for businesses as it is. 😠

I see that the sectarian Muslim MPs, the Green Party & pro-Palestine activists are all up in arms over Israel’s death penalty for Palestinian convicted terrorists. When Iran executed the 19-year-old champion, Saleh Mohammadi for protesting the Khamenei regime, they were silent.

The Black Opinion
The Black Opinion@opinion_black·
Call this out for what it is: We have all witnessed the quite disturbing scenes of predominantly black school aged children behaving appallingly in Clapham yesterday. There is a combination of factors as to why this took place and I am going to point them out without fear or favour. 1. Parents. This is your failure. The children are an extension of you. You have abdicated responsibility & chose to be ‘friends’ with your children instead of being the architects of authority, discipline & boundary setting. Instead you are weak and your children know you are, thus diluting any respect that they would naturally have for you. 2. Schools. When people like Katharine Birbalsingh & her elite teachers speak about standards, discipline and teaching children in a ‘no excuses environment’ many of you turn your noses up. However, do you really believe that children who attend her school ‘Michaela’ would behave this way in public? Neither do I. Schools and how they operate are a barometer of where this country will be in the near future. This alone should be ringing alarm bells but unfortunately it is not. 3. Parliament. Those that are legislators in this country are way out of sync with what is required to churn out functioning useful youngsters in this society. With Labour MPs seeking to legalise voting for those aged 16+ I am only surprised that they were not in Clapham giving out flyers telling these youngsters that they are only robbing shops because of ‘white people and slavery’. Vote Labour! 4. Police The police were totally useless yesterday. The police on the ground? No. Their bosses? Yes. Scotland Yard and Chief Superintendents are mostly now chosen for their senior roles based on politics, sexuality and wokeness. At least 100 youngsters should have been arrested, publicised widely, hurried through the system and severely punished. A clear message needed to be sent. It wasn’t. This is why it will now be a continual occurrence. 5. Social Media. 99% of these ‘link ups’ are organised via social media platforms. These companies must be subject to criminal injunctions when their platforms are used to promote chaos. Further, if found guilty then the penalties should include eye watering fines and three year imprisonment for their managing directors. Lastly, the age to use Social Media should rise to 18 years. Conclusion. Many of the youngsters will claim they were ‘just having a laugh’. That may well be true. Families who were locked in the stores or staff working in those stores would surely disagree. That behaviour was disgusting and you parents should point that out. There is a time coming where some of these parents should be criminally liable for their actions of their bloody children. We are blessed to be in a country like this despite its many faults. We also have many opportunities and are frittering them away. Do better and stop the damn excuses. Control your children.

I went to Henry Thornton School in Clapham Common from 1973-1980, one of the roughest boys sink schools in South London at the time. It was bad and people who know the school will know, but it was nothing compared to level of lawlessness as this. This is far worse.
spiked@spikedonline

Those feral mobs in Clapham are a disgrace. This is what happens when we fail to punish bad behaviour. Fare-dodging, shoplifting and phone-snatching are all virtually legal in London now. We have given a green light to lawlessness, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/ZSWxxzM
