  On 5 February 2024, a British Employment Tribunal delivered what may become a landmark ruling. In Dr David Miller v University of Bristol , the Tribunal held that Miller’s anti-Zionist beliefs are a protected philosophical belief under section 10 of the Equality Act 2010, and that his dismissal from Bristol was an act of direct discrimination and unfair dismissal . But beyond these legal labels lies something deeper: a moment when critique, in the face of taboos, was affirmed as a space of conscience. The following is not a sterile recounting, but a weaving of law and moral argument—an invitation to read the judgment’s own words, and to feel what they might spell out for resistance, academic freedom, and dissent. “The claimant’s anti-Zionist beliefs qualified as a philosophical belief …” Right at the outset, the Tribunal states: “The claimant’s anti-Zionist beliefs qualified as a philosophical belief and as a protected characteristic pursuant to section 10 Equality Act 2...

  By Malik Mukhtar | ainnbeen.blogspot.com Introduction: A “New Gaza” or the Same Old Mirage? Two years after Gaza was buried under its own ashes, the world is once again being asked to clap for “ peace .” Donald J. Trump, self-proclaimed peacemaker of the century , has unveiled his latest script — a 20-point plan to build a “ New Gaza. ” It’s being hailed as a turning point in civilization , a triumph of diplomacy, a fresh dawn. But scratch the gold plating , and it’s just the same machinery of  dressed in a new marketing campaign. Yossi Alpher , a seasoned Israeli strategist, calls it what it is: another exercise in repackaging disaster as deliverance. The Art of the Ceasefire Deal Alpher breaks it down with surgical precision. Trump’s points three through eight — ceasefire, partial withdrawal, hostage swaps, humanitarian corridors — might actually happen . Why? Because they’ve all happened before. It’s déjà vu diplomacy — the illusion of progress, choreogra...

  They walked free —yet came home with broken bodies , shattered spirits , and scars that cannot be erased. On October 13, 2025, nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees were released from Israeli custody in return for hostages freed by Hamas. Many rejoiced; families wept with relief. But behind those scenes, a darker story surfaced—one of systemic abuse, medical neglect, and a betrayal of human dignity. The Faces Behind the Numbers Among those finally returned was Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya , a beloved hospital doctor in Gaza, whose ordeal reveals the brutality that many are still too afraid to speak about. He arrived having lost more than 20 kg in just two months , with fractured ribs from interrogation , a worsening heart condition denied proper medical attention , and the scars of solitary confinement and torture. He is not alone. In the landmark “ Welcome to Hell ” report, 55 formerly held Palestinians shared chilling testimonies : starvation diets, savage beatings, r...

  Two Nelsons. One fought apartheid; the other’s grandson just got a front-row seat to its reincarnation. Different century, same arrogance — this time in uniform with Hebrew insignia and U.S.-made rifles. So here’s the scene: The Sumud Flotilla — a peaceful humanitarian mission, forty boats strong, loaded not with missiles or militants but medicine, baby formula, and human decency — sails toward a starving Gaza . Among its passengers: activists, clergy, parliamentarians … and Nkosi Zwelivelile “ Mandla” Mandela , heir to a name that once made tyrants tremble . Enter the Israeli navy — that proud defender of blockades and reputations — intercepting the flotilla in international waters. 1 Because nothing screams “self-defense ” like seizing aid ships outside your own border. Suddenly, Mandela’s grandson — a South African MP — is handcuffed with plastic ties so tight they left bruises of democracy . The “world’s most moral army” parades him, cables biting into his wrists ...

  By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com The world watched in silence — again — as another eye of conscience was crushed in the name of “public order.” This time, it wasn’t in Gaza, or Jenin, or Nablus. It was in Sydney. It was Hannah Thomas — a young Australian woman who dared to look directly at the machine of complicity. She didn’t lose her eye in war. She lost it in democracy. A Democracy That Kicks, Punches, and Then Investigates Itself On June 27, 2025, outside a modest plating factory in Belmore, Sydney, about sixty peaceful protesters stood with banners, chanting against Israel’s use of Australian-made components in its F-35 fighter jets — the same jets that turned Gaza’s hospitals and classrooms into cemeteries. The police arrived to “maintain peace.” They told protesters to move on. Hannah Thomas — former Greens candidate, activist, and daughter of Malaysia’s former Attorney General — stayed. She stayed because silence was the true crime. Moments later, ...

  By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com History, it seems, is allergic to peace—especially when written in Hebrew and rubber-stamped in Washington. On October 9, 2025, Israel and Hamas signed what the world was told was a “historic ceasefire.” Trump called it a “ miracle of peace. ” Biden mumbled something about “stability was d d like a weary parent rewarding a serial arsonist for promising not to light another match. And then, almost poetically— before the ink on the ceasefire dried, before the displaced could even lift their broken children from the floor of UNRWA schools— Israel began bombing again . The war, it turns out, never ended. It just changed its costume. Ceasefire as Performance Art The ceasefire was supposed to begin at noon on October 10. By dawn, the skies over Gaza City, Khan Younis, Nuseirat were already on fire again. Drones, artillery, tanks—each one humming the same old hymn of “self-defense.” Nine Palestinians were killed that morning, do...

By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com Two years of blood and rubble later , Israel’s war on Gaza has ended not with victory parades but with an exhausted exhale — and a fresh moral hangover. Among the wreckage, a strange question lingers like smoke after a fire: What happens to Israel’s “friends” inside Gaza — those Popular Forces , those hastily armed “ Anti-Terror” auxiliaries , those who bet their lives on serving the occupier’s script? The Frankenstein Files In the ruins of Rafah and Khan Younis, Israel’s internal intelligence service, the Shin Bet , built a small army of convenience — men with grudges, ambition, or desperation . They were told they were the future of Gaza : the new “anti-Hamas,” the “security partners,” the “civil order.” For months, they helped identify targets, pass intelligence, and even guard IDF-controlled zones. Some were given money, others weapons. A few were promised “ protection ” — a promise now as worthless as the rubble beneath their fee...

  By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com Two years after Gaza was first set on fire , the war that began with biblical vengeance has stumbled to an exhausted ceasefire . On October 9, 2025 , Israel and Hamas — after endless carnage, famine, and rubble — have signed the first phase of a ceasefire agreement mediated in Sharm el-Sheikh . Trump called it a “ historic peace plan. ” History may call it a truce of attrition — a war that collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. What the Ceasefire Says — and What It Doesn’t Under the agreement, Israeli forces are to pull back to a designated “yellow line” within 24 hours of cabinet ratification. Hamas, in turn, will release all remaining hostages — alive or dead — within 72 hours after the withdrawal. Israel will free about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, though it made sure to exclude political figures like Marwan Barghouti , whose freedom would remind the world that Palestine still breathes. Humanitarian convoys — food,...
