BBC broadcasts Islamist-Marxist incitement - thousands at Glastonbury Music Festival chant "Death to the I.D.F!"


Israel's war on Hamas has taken centre stage at Glastonbury, one of the world's most iconic music festivals. According to Qatari Al Jazeera reporter Mr. Zein Basrav:  London-based punk duo Bob Vylan led crowds in chants against the Israeli military, whilst Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap delivered a set that was part concert, part political statement to a crowd of 30,000. 

The Israeli embassy condemned remarks made during performances as 'hateful', and UK police are reviewing footage to determine if any laws were broken. -  
The controversy has sparked a national debate on free expression and political activism in music. 

Whilst some criticized the performances as inflammatory, others defended them as reflecting the spirit of protest that has long been associated with Glastonbury. The festival has once again highlighted the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the polarizing nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the global stage.

 
 

The BBC had the ability to stop the broadcasting of Bob Vylan’s ‘death to IDF’ chants at Glastonbury but didn’t, says former UK Culture Secretary, Lucy Frazer.

BBC “are responsible for what they broadcast on national television, paid by you and me, the licence-fee payer […]  They have mechanisms to [stop inappropriate speech], they ought to have used them and didn’t!”

The Normandy Lesson and the Middle East Delusion: How WWII’s lessons are ignored in today's appeasement of Iran and Hamas

1938: UK PM Neville Chamberlain meets Adolf Hitler to
negotiate the Munich Agreement (photo: FindMyPast)

The Munich Agreement was a pact signed on September 30, 1938, by Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, aimed at resolving the crisis over Germany's demand for the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia with a significant ethnic German population. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain also led the Conservative Party during this critical period. 

Ultimately failing to avert war, the D-Day invasion of France, which, marking the start of the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Western Europe, landed on June 6, 1944 - 5 years and 8 months later. 

On the 81st anniversary of D-Day, we honor the valor of those who stormed the beaches of Normandy, confronting the consequences of delayed action against tyranny. Their sacrifice underscores a timeless lesson: appeasement can embolden aggressors, making eventual confrontation more costly. Today, this lesson resonates as Israel faces threats from Hamas and Iran, and the United States navigates complex diplomatic engagements under President Donald Trump's administration. 

Here’s a breakdown:

Background Context: In the 1930s, Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, pursued an aggressive expansionist policy, claiming to unite ethnic Germans into a greater German state.

Sudetenland: This border region of Czechoslovakia had a large German-speaking population. Hitler demanded its annexation, citing alleged mistreatment of Germans by the Czech government, and threatened war.

Appeasement: Britain and France, wary of another devastating war after World War I, followed a policy of appeasement, hoping to satisfy Hitler’s demands and maintain peace.

Key Players

Adolf Hitler (Germany): Sought to annex the Sudetenland as part of his broader goal to expand German territory.

Neville Chamberlain (UK): British Prime Minister, eager to avoid war, championed negotiation.

Édouard Daladier (France): French Premier, aligned with Britain but skeptical of appeasement’s success.

Benito Mussolini (Italy): Acted as a mediator, proposing a compromise to de-escalate tensions.

Notably Absent: Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union were excluded from the talks, despite Czechoslovakia being directly affected.

The Agreement

Date: Signed in the early hours of September 30, 1938, in Munich, Germany.

Terms:

Germany was allowed to annex the Sudetenland immediately.

The transfer began on October 1, 1938, and was to be completed by October 10, 1938.

An international commission would oversee further border adjustments and plebiscites if needed.

Britain and France agreed to this in exchange for Hitler’s promise to make no further territorial demands in Europe.

Outcome: Chamberlain returned to Britain, famously declaring “peace for our time,” believing the agreement had averted war.

Consequences

Short-Term:

Germany occupied the Sudetenland, weakening Czechoslovakia’s defenses and economy. Tensions briefly eased, with Chamberlain hailed as a peacemaker by some.

Long-Term:

Betrayal of Czechoslovakia
: The Czechs, not consulted, lost key territory, industrial resources, and fortifications, leaving them vulnerable.

Emboldened Hitler: Seeing appeasement as weakness, Hitler occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, violating the agreement.

Path to War: The failure of appeasement led to skepticism of diplomacy with Hitler. When Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, Britain and France declared war, marking the start of World War II.

Legacy: The Munich Agreement is now widely seen as a failed act of appeasement, a cautionary tale about conceding to aggressive demands.
  
The agreement delayed war but at the cost of Czechoslovakia’s sovereignty and regional stability.

It exposed the limits of appeasement, shaping future debates on how to confront authoritarian regimes.

 

Today in 2025, veterans and officials have attended memorial services in Normandy to commemorate the 81st anniversary of the D-Day landings. this report from Britain's ITV News.

A remembrance service was held at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer, which was attended by the ever-dwindling number of surviving veterans in their late 90s and older, remembering the thousands who died that day. 

 
 

Nazi Germany declared its surrender to the Allied nations 11-months after the D-Day invasion. Thirteen weeks later (on August 15, 1945), Japan would surrender to the Allies - commemorated as V-J ("Victory over Japan") Day.

Mr. Levitan tells us, "I was aware as a youngster from 1936 or so on, exactly what was happening in Germany and what was being done to the Jewish population. And it just made me feel a lot better about what I was doing and that we were successful with it. Because if we were not, I don't think any of us (for the most part - in the Jewish population) would be here today talking about it today.  And what Hitler's mission was - and you hear about it today, I hear about it today what his plans were. Had he come over here he would have exterminated every Jew on the planet, I believe. So thank God for the way it worked out. 

Mr. Levitan continued, "Israel is still in jeopardy and has been all these years. They are our front line in in that region of the world. They're right there and I support Israel with every fiber in my being. They're our front line of defense in that region of the world so we have to be very thankful and very supportive of Israel which we are and I'm proud about our country being that way."

On the 81st anniversary of D-Day, we recall the blood price exacted by World War II's delayed justice. The Allies had once hoped that diplomacy—the 1938 Munich Agreement—would contain Hitler. Instead, it gave him five years to build a war machine, forcing the free world to fight a more powerful enemy at greater cost. The question confronting the U.S. and Israel today is this: are we repeating the same mistake by letting Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian regime fester under the illusion of restraint and “deals”?


To act decisively now is costly. But to wait may be worse. Just as the Allies ultimately had to storm Europe after years of delay, Israel and the West may be forced to wage a broader regional war, under worse conditions, due to today’s short-term expedience. 

   
 


"From Gaza to Boulder: How Vilifying Israel Endangers Western Security"

In a sober and wide-ranging discussion hosted Tuesday 24 May by the American Freedom Alliance in Los Angeles, a panel of national security experts reflected on the enduring strategic ties

The conversation examined whether former President Trump’s evolving Middle East strategy, including delayed Israeli strikes on Iran, arms deals with Gulf states, and the realignment under the Abraham Accords, reflects American interests—or risks compromising them. With concerns about Iranian nuclear ambitions back in the headlines, the panel unpacked how Israel’s fate remains deeply interwoven with America’s national security and moral clarity.

“Israel sits squarely in the cross-hairs of the Sharia-supremacists’ assault on the Judeo-Christian West—and defending Israel is defending ourselves.”

Dr. Siegemund began by warning that abandoning Israel would amount to abandoning America’s own civilizational integrity. She argued that what stands behind Israel is not just national identity but Western values—reason, freedom, and moral clarity. When we side with Israel, we are choosing civilization over barbarism.

“America’s enemies are colluding: Sharia-supremacism, Communism, and Globalism work in tandem to dismantle our civilization—with Israel on the front lines.”

Gaffney emphasized Iran’s expanding threat, noting the Islamic Republic's pursuit of nuclear weapons and its alliances with anti-American regimes. He described Israel as the forward sentinel of the free world against a global jihadist axis. America’s abandonment of Israel, he warned, would embolden adversaries worldwide and unravel U.S. deterrence.

 


Daniel Greenfield

“Iran is not just a nuclear threat—it’s a global hub for terrorism and revolution.”

Greenfield brought attention to the ideological war on Israel within American institutions. He examined how campus activism, media narratives, and progressive politics increasingly frame Israel as an oppressor, aligning with antisemitic and anti-American worldviews. Supporting Israel, he argued, is now tantamount to defending American identity and democratic civilization itself.

 


David Wurmser

Dr. David Wurmser

“Israel, as the frontline target of the ideological war by Communist China and Islamist Qatar to destabilize Western Civilization, represents the first line of defense by the West.”

Wurmser provided geopolitical analysis, emphasizing how Israel’s strength stabilizes the region. He outlined the historic shift brought by the Abraham Accords and noted the shared interests between Israel and Sunni Arab states in countering Iranian aggression. A weakened Israel, he said, would disrupt this emerging alliance and invite chaos.

 

A Fork in the Foreign Policy Road

While no panelist directly condemned Trump’s recalibration of the Middle East, all expressed unease about the price of pragmatism. Can diplomacy coexist with deterrence? Can transactional relationships preserve transcendent values? These, not just the fate of Israel or Iran, were the questions they left hanging.

Though none of the panelists directly addressed recent reports of business involvement in regional diplomacy, their concerns suggested unease with what one could interpret as a growing convergence of commercial and diplomatic motives. With figures like Steve Witkoff reportedly working to negotiate Gaza redevelopment, and Trump's own entanglements with Gulf investments under scrutiny, the line between America’s strategic interest and private opportunity appears increasingly blurred. The White House’s willingness to coordinate with adversarial powers such as Qatar or Iran, some argued, may risk reducing Israel’s fate to a bargaining chip.

If the United States forgets why it once stood with Israel, the panel warned, it may soon forget how to stand for itself. At this turning point, fidelity to allies may reveal more about a nation's identity than any new doctrine ever could.

   
 


Prof. Gad Saad cautions of "Collective Psychosis" mere days prior to Marxist slaughtering Israeli Embassy couple


Los Angeles — May 22, 2025 — In a prescient conversation just days before the shocking assassination of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, evolutionary behavioral scientist Dr. Gad Saad issued a stark warning about the ideological forces fueling global anti-Jewish incitement. Speaking at the Temple of the Arts in Los Angeles on Sunday, May 18, with David Suissa, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Jewish Journal, Saad outlined what he described as a “collective psychosis” gripping segments of academia and activist circles.

Kings College Union, London Oct 21, '23
Saad, author of The Parasitic Mind, diagnosed the rise in antisemitism not as a byproduct of traditional ethnic bigotry but as a systemic infection enabled by identity politics, grievance studies, and Western intellectual self-flagellation. “It’s a mass derangement,” he said, “where hatred of Jews becomes a badge of virtue among the supposedly enlightened.”

A Timely Warning Before Tragedy

The exchange came just three days before Elias Rodriguez—a 24-year-old former university student radicalized online and through campus activism—gunned down Israeli Embassy diplomats Yaron Lischinsky (German-born son of an Evangelical Christian mother) and (Jewish-American) Sarah Milgram outside their Washington D.C. residence. Investigators have confirmed Rodriguez’s manifesto quoted post-colonial theorists and referenced the term “decolonization by any means,” a theme Saad explicitly criticized during his May 18 remarks.

“There’s a direct through-line,” said Suissa, who opened the conversation by noting the perverse celebration of Hamas on American campuses after the October 7 pogrom in Israel. “You see people chanting for genocide under the guise of justice.”

Saad agreed, lambasting what he called “the Olympics of victimology” and warning that Jews have become uniquely delegitimized in this ideological competition. “If Jews are seen as hyper-white oppressors,” he explained, “then calls for violence against them become excusable, even righteous, in the minds of the indoctrinated.”

Ideological Roots of Hate

Univ of Texas at Austin
The discussion traced antisemitism not to fringe hate groups but to elite Western institutions: academia, media, and global NGOs. Saad recounted how in some universities, Jewish students are explicitly told they are not welcome in “racial justice” coalitions. “This is not old-school Jew-hatred. It’s hatred with a PhD.”

Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania
He also noted that social media amplifies these narratives with devastating speed, building echo chambers that create moral inversion. “We now live in a world where the terrorists are seen as the victims, and the victims are condemned as colonizers.”

Suissa highlighted the disturbing moral collapse among cultural influencers and media outlets, where Hamas atrocities are minimized while Israeli self-defense is painted as aggression. “We’ve crossed into Orwellian territory,” he warned.



 

“This Is Not a Drill”

Both speakers urged the Jewish community to shed complacency and confront this ideological war directly. “You can’t fight fire with appeasement,” Saad declared. “We need courage, clarity, and an unapologetic defense of reason.”

Reflecting on the events of May 21, Saad’s words feel eerily predictive. “If we don’t treat the parasitic ideas infecting our institutions,” he warned, “we’ll see them translate into bullets.”

As details continue to emerge about Rodriguez’s path to radicalization, the L.A. panel serves as both a call to action and a haunting reminder: hatred intellectualized is hatred unleashed.




   
 


Trump’s Islamist Concessions: Israel’s Quandry in a Misaligned World

President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign promises to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and support Israel’s destruction of Hamas are faltering, selling out Israel and alienating his pro-Israel voter base. 

By conceding on military pressure against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Trump places the onus on Israel to defy his stated policy through unilateral strikes or sabotage, risking global condemnation in a world where U.S. policy misaligns with actors like Qatar and Iran.

A $5.5 billion Trump-branded golf resort deal in Qatar, tied to envoy Steve Witkoff’s $623 million Qatari connections, fuels ethical concerns amid a collapsed Gaza ceasefire. 

A U.S. ceasefire with Iran-backed Houthis, wielding suspected hypersonic missiles, fails to halt their attacks on Israel, emboldening proxies like Hamas, which intensifies Israel’s ground war in Gaza as a by-product. 

As Chinese President Xi Jinping aligns with Vladimir Putin, bolstering Iran through CCP-backed conflicts, Trump’s potential restraint of Israel against Iran and Hamas undermines Israel’s security in increasing U.S. policy alignment with Qatar and Iran.

Gaza Ceasefire Collapses, Ground War as By-Product
Trump pledged to eliminate Hamas, responsible for the October 7, 2023, attack that killed 1,200 and took 251 hostages. A January 15, 2025, ceasefire, brokered by Qatar and Egypt with Witkoff, forced the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to withdraw from Gaza strongholds, exchanging 33 hostages (eight believed dead) for 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, many terrorism-linked (Israel National News). It collapsed on March 18, 2025, with Operation Might and Sword targeting Hamas’s regrouping (Times of Israel).

On May 4, Israel launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots to seize Gaza, displace 2.3 million residents to a southern “secure zone,” and free 59 hostages. The IDF mobilized approximately 60,000 reservists to bolster three divisions and secure fronts like Lebanon (The Jerusalem Post, May 5). Far-right leaders like Bezalel Smotrich demand permanent occupation (Israel Hayom). A nine-week aid blockade and ground operations, a by-product of Iran’s emboldened proxies like Hamas, have led to 87 IDF casualties since March (Israel National News). Hostage families fear for captives’ safety (Times of Israel).

Qatar’s Influence and Ethical Concerns

The $5.5 billion Simaisma golf resort deal, announced April 30, 2025, with Qatar’s Qatari Diar and Saudi-backed Dar Global, features an 18-hole golf course, 3,600 villas, 3,000 apartments, a 400-room hotel, and a waterfront promenade (Trump Organization press release).

Eric Trump praised it, but Witkoff’s $623 million Qatari ties from a 2016 hotel sale raise conflict-of-interest concerns, given Qatar’s Hamas mediation role (Israel Hayom). X posts criticize: “Trump profits from Qatar while Israel fights” (
@TimesofIsrael
, May 2). This deal highlights U.S. policy misalignment, favoring Gulf interests over Israel’s security (America First Policy Institute, April 28).

Iran Concession: Forcing Israel’s Nuclear Defiance

Trump’s pledge to “defang” Iran’s nuclear program, a cornerstone of his pro-Israel stance, has been abandoned. After exiting the 2015 nuclear deal, he now tolerates 3.67% uranium enrichment, per Witkoff’s Oman talks (Washington Times, April). This concession, forsaking military threats, forces Israel to defy Trump’s stated policy by planning unilateral strikes or sabotage against Iran’s nuclear facilities, risking global demonization (Israel National News, May 7). Israel’s potential operations—precision airstrikes or covert sabotage—face Iran’s fortified defenses, including underground sites like Natanz, per Israel Hayom. The America First Policy Institute (April 28) warns such action could isolate Israel, with U.S. policy misaligned toward actors like Iran and Qatar, undermining Israel’s security (Newsweek, January 12). This sell-out emboldens Iran’s proxies, fueling Hamas’s Gaza resilience as a by-product.

The concession’s drivers include:

  • Practical Strategy: Trump prioritizes Gulf deals like Simaisma to avoid Middle East conflicts, per X posts noting his Qatar focus.
  • Deep-State Influence: State Department diplomats push Iran engagement to counter China, aligning with Witkoff’s diplomacy (Israel Hayom; Modern Diplomacy, February 15).
  • Isolationist Voices: Tucker Carlson’s “America First” rhetoric, critiquing Israel aid on Fox, influences Trump’s base, urging U.S. disengagement (Washington Times).
Houthi Ceasefire and Hypersonic Missiles

On May 6, 2025, Trump halted U.S. bombings of Iran-backed Houthis, claiming they “capitulated,” but failed to require them to stop attacking Israel (Washington Times). The Houthis, targeting Red Sea shipping and Israel, likely use hypersonic missiles supplied by Iran, with speculation of Chinese technology transfers given Beijing’s ties to Tehran (Israel National News, May 7). This ceasefire exposes Israel, with X posts decrying: “Trump’s Houthi deal empowers Iran’s proxies” (@Juliana_Ahavah, May 7). It strengthens Hamas in Gaza, a by-product of Iran’s unchecked influence (Newsweek, January 12).

Global Tensions: China, Russia, and CCP Allies

As Chinese President Xi Jinping aligns with Vladimir Putin, bolstering Iran through CCP-backed conflicts, Trump’s potential restraint of Israel against Iran and Hamas aligns U.S. policy with actors like Qatar and Iran, undermining Israel’s security. Xi’s May 6, 2025, meeting with Putin coincides with Pakistan’s clashes with India and North Korea’s missile launches into the Sea of Japan on May 5, 2025 (Wall Street Journal). China’s potential role in Houthi missile supplies underscores its support for Iran (Israel National News). Trump’s Gulf focus ignores these threats, leaving Israel to counter Iran’s nuclear ambitions and proxies alone.

Restraining Israel: A Double Challenge
Will Trump restrain Israel from striking Iran’s nuclear program and neutralizing Hamas? His administration avoids supporting an Iran strike, with Witkoff prioritizing Gulf alliances (Wall Street Journal; Modern Diplomacy, February 15, 2025). Unilateral Israeli action—strikes or sabotage—risks retaliation and global condemnation, per Israel National News. In Gaza, Witkoff’s hostage deal may preserve Hamas as a Qatar-backed partner, pressuring Israel to scale back Operation Gideon’s Chariots, a by-product of Iran’s proxies (America First Policy Institute, April 28). The Houthi ceasefire suggests Trump may limit Israel’s actions to protect diplomatic gains (Israel Hayom). Such restraint could demonize Israel, further misaligning U.S. policy with Qatar and Iran (Newsweek, January 12).

Voter Base Disillusionment

Trump’s pro-Israel voters, especially evangelicals, face disillusionment. The Simaisma deal, Houthi ceasefire, and Iran nuclear concession prioritize Gulf profits over Israel’s security, forcing Israel to defy Trump’s policy. X posts reflect frustration: “Trump promised to crush Iran, but he’s enabling Hamas and Houthis” (
@TimesofIsrael
, May 2). The America First Policy Institute (April 28) notes evangelical fears that Trump’s “America First” rhetoric, amplified by Carlson, abandons Israel. Forcing Israel to act alone against Iran fractures the U.S.-Israel alliance (Washington Times).

Can Trump Regain Trust?

As Israel battles Hamas with 60,000 reservists in Gaza, a by-product of Iran’s proxies, and prepares to defy Trump by targeting Iran’s nuclear program, his credibility falters. Witkoff’s Qatari ties and Simaisma profits expose conflicts of interest. Trump’s concession on Iran’s nuclear threat isolates Israel in a misaligned world. Amid Xi’s Putin alliance and CCP-backed conflicts, Trump’s restraint of Israel undermines his voter base and the U.S.-Israel alliance.
