Ken Livingstone: An Anti-Zionist Hero
CrossFireArabia- December 26, 2024
This is a tribute to Ken Livingstone from Ousman Noor:
A tribute to one of the first major targets of the worldwide Zionist smear machine. Ken Livingstone, a towering leader of authentic socialist principles, London’s first Mayor, a committed anti-racist, described as “the only truly successful left-wing British politician of modern times”. In 2016, Ken was suspended from the UK Labour Party for telling us the truth about Isreal’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land, noting that Zionists had directly collaborated with the Nazis to break the international boycott led by Jewish communities, to finance Zionist settlement in Palestine (Haavara Agreement).
As a consequence, Ken was viciously targeted by the entire media establishment (including by the Guardian) and branded an anti-Semite, isolated and stigmatised across the political class. Under immense pressure and calls for his expulsion, Ken was defiant, stating “I’m not going to apologise for telling the truth”. After an entire lifetime of standing up for the oppressed, championing working class solidarity, mobilising against war, Zionists were able to brand Ken as racist and destroy his career and reputation.
Ken now has Alzeimers and is in a very poor condition. This past year we have all been witness to Isreal’s genocide in Gaza, apartheid against the Palestinian people, disregard for international law and use of malicious tactics to smear those calling them out as “anti-Semites”. We stand on the shoulders of people like Ken Livingstone and many others who always stood up for Palestinians with a commitment to the truth, no matter the cost to their career. Thank you Ken May you be at peace in this life and for all eternity.

Ireland is considering transforming the former Israeli Embassy in Dublin into a Palestinian museum.
“Faisel Saleh, a Palestinian-American businessman and founder of the Palestine Museum in the United States, expressed interest in transforming the former Israeli embassy in Dublin into a Palestinian museum, calling it “a political statement.”
The idea of the Palestinian museum is trending on social media. The move comes within days after Israel decided to close its embassy in Ireland after what it called rising anti-semitism in the Irish country.
“The decision to close Israel’s embassy in Dublin was made in light of the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government,” Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said in a statement last week.
The tension between Israel and Ireland came to the fore when the latter on 28 May, 2024 made a decision to formally recognize the state of Palestine.

Ahmad Mansour writes:
“The experience of Hamas in #فلسطين and the experience of the opposition in #سوريا confirm that whoever possesses the reasons for power and can impose them on the ground forces anyone, especially his enemies, to deal with him.
It also confirms that the price of liberating homelands, whether from occupation or tyranny, is always high.”

The World Bank stated that the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has led to an “unprecedented shift in modern history” for the Palestinian economy, which has been destroyed by Israeli attacks.
In their latest report, they revealed that the Israeli genocide has destroyed nearly 93% of bank branches in Gaza, with only 3 out of 94 ATMs still operational.
It added that Palestinians in Gaza are struggling to pay for basic goods such as food and medicine, as the collapse of the banking system disrupts the private sector.
