The Rise of Palestinian Nationalism: The Struggle for a Free Palestine
The idea of a Palestinian nation didn’t appear overnight—it was born from the same 19th-century forces that created the modern nation-states. As the Ottoman Empire crumbled, new national identities emerged across the Arab world. In Palestine, we have overwhelming evidence that Palestinian identity was already defined by the end of the 19th century. It took on political form after World War I, when British betrayal and Zionist colonization turned a promise of independence into a fight for survival. From al-Maqdisī’s 10th-century “I am a Palestinian” to the 1936-39 Great Revolt, this is the story of how Palestinians defined, defended, and died for their homeland.
The Palestine Action Review Stitch Up Is SO Much Worse Than You Think
The Palestine Action judicial review has been slammed for what appear to be dodgy doings in changing the judges, so you can always tell when the British state is nervous, because it stops pretending it isn’t.
And that’s exactly what’s happened with the Palestine Action judicial review. A judge who granted permission for the case has been removed from it. No reason, no explanation, just gone. And in his place the judiciary has quietly installed a panel that reads like the Home Office’s wish-list: the government’s former national-security attack dog, the judge who has already shielded the UK–Israel arms pipeline, and the senior public-law judge whose own family sits deep inside the financial networks tied to the very companies Palestine Action has been exposing.
And the Starmer government thinks people won’t notice. Well they’re going to after this rant. Get comfy because this is a long one, but you won’t hear half of this anywhere else, but more people need to, because this is one h*ll of a stitch up.
