Bloomberg is owned by the world's 18th richest man. Billionaires emit more carbon in one hour than a poor person does in a lifetime. This is propaganda.

If a company tried selling apartments in apartheid South Africa in London, there would be outrage. Yet Labour is allowing a real estate fair marketing homes in illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land. Labour rolls out the red carpet for Israeli war criminals, criminalises those resisting genocide, and keeps supplying arms to a genocidal apartheid state. Ban this event NOW.

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes. Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead. As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence. Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.

Don't be mean to the trillionaire, just become a trillionaire yourself! All you need is luck, connections, wealthy parents, the ruthlessness to step on anyone who gets in your way, and a willingness to cooperate with murderous imperial institutions like the Pentagon and the CIA!

Replying to an MP who points out that 32 UK organisations funding Israeli war crimes against the Palestinians enjoy charitable status, the Charity Commission says it "needs time to consider the matter fully". Charitable status means we, as British taxpayers, effectively subsidise Jewish settler militias – the kind that you see beating up Palestinian families with crowbars. The Commission is lying about needing more time. It's had decades already. The JNF, the best-known and largest body raising funds for Israel, has long been involved in criminal conspiracies against the Palestinian people. I've been reporting on this for at least two decades. I'll link to an article I wrote on this very issue seven years ago in the reply post. The Commission has resisted every attempt to overturn the JNF's charitable status. Canada's equivalent commission has been braver, and ended the JNF's status. The UK Charity Commission, by contrast, is just another way the British government launders money to subsidise Israel's criminal, and increasingly genocidal, activities.

Andy Burnham says he wants a change in direction from this Labour government. He can prove it: by backing a public inquiry into the British government's complicity in genocide. Sign our petition below. yourparty.uk/gazainquiry

Look it's very simple. If you want to wear a small hat and sing Hava Nagila, that's awesome. If you want to support a genocidal apartheid state, you're a piece of shit. People always try to add in extra layers of complexity, but that's really all there is to it.

MPs could vote to ban soldiers in the Israel Defence Forces from entering the UK. Jeremy Corbyn has tabled an amendment to the Armed Forces Bill to ban the entry of foreign soldiers from countries that are subject to war crimes investigations. declassifieduk.org/parliamen…

One reason AI is being pushed so hard is because it's the last "humanity can capitalism its way out of all its problems" narrative that has yet to be fully discredited. The idea is that if we can just create AI gods and let them come up with the effective-yet-profitable innovative technological solutions to our various existential crises that our own fleshy brains have so far failed to produce, then we don't need to dismantle the socioeconomic system we built that is destroying our biosphere and driving us to our doom. Embedded in this logic is the same baseless assumption that has been plaguing us this entire time: that there are effective-yet-profitable solutions to be found. That we can simply let the free market deliver us desirable products that will both (A) cause us to stop cannibalizing our ecosystem and (B) create billionaires and trillionaires. Capitalism hasn't provided any innovations that have allowed us to consume our way out of our problems thus far, but because we've got these complex new AI technologies now, we can allow ourselves to move this entirely faith-based assumption into the purview of our new gods. But that's just it: it's an assumption based on blind faith. There is no reason to believe we'll ever come up with technologies that are conducive to human and environmental thriving which also generate shareholder profits. Generally profits are generated by producing and consuming more products, which is exactly what has gotten us into this mess in the first place. What this means is that capitalism has no ability to solve the problems we're coming up against as a species. There is no way to compete and consume our way out of the hole we dug through competition and consuming. We need new systems. Human behavior cannot continue to be driven by competition and the pursuit of profit. We need to move into collaboration with each other and with our biosphere if we are to survive into the future as a species, and we will be unable to do this if we are excluding all possible solutions that don't generate revenue for the capitalist class. AI is for many people just a psychological box that allows us to avoid facing this uncomfortable truth, because as Mark Fisher said, “It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.” It's easier to imagine billionaire tech companies creating AI gods who will serve us up magical solutions to our urgent existential dilemmas which also facilitate continued economic growth than it is to imagine moving into collaboration-based systems where human behavior isn't driven by the pursuit of profit. But that's just a sign of how insane our species has become. It's a symptom of our collective madness. We need to wake up. We need to get real. It's adaptation or extinction time for us as a species, and that fork in the road is approaching very quickly.
