Palestine: The Evidence
Since December 2024 this publication has documented the genocide in Gaza and the machinery, political, legal and rhetorical, that Britain and the West built to protect it. This page collects every piece in one place, in the order it was written. If you’re new here, start with On a Thousand Days of Genocide, the fullest single accounting, then come back for the rest.
New pieces are added as they publish.
