Dear Timothy Veater

Thank you for taking the trouble of writing to me regarding this most recent update.

I hope you are already aware that I’ve been outspoken in my criticism of the far-right Netanyahu government’s murderous campaign in Gaza. If not, you can find more information here: Andrew George - Middle East

The Israeli Government’s recent escalation, marked by the ground invasion of Deir al-Balah and reported attacks on WHO facilities, is yet another example of that government’s flagrant disregard for international law and the affordable immunity it presumes if it continues to have the backing of President Trump.

I am afraid this is simply the most recent example of the Netanyahu regime’s attempts to enact genocide in the Palestinian territories. These actions and the increasing evidence of death due to starvation, inflict further suffering on an already devastated Palestinian population, endanger the lives of the Israeli hostages, and obstruct the life-saving work of humanitarian agencies.

This is not the path to peace. It is a path of escalation.

The UK Government must now act with moral clarity. It must suspend all arms sales to Israel without delay. We cannot continue to supply weapons to a government that uses them in ways which breach international humanitarian law and undermine the very principles we claim to uphold. 
Prime Minister Netanyahu must be pressed to halt this offensive, open the floodgates for humanitarian aid, and pursue the release of hostages through diplomatic, not destructive, means.

I will continue to press the government to stand with those who seek peace, justice, and the protection of innocent life.

Thank you again for taking the trouble of writing.

Of these stanzas, prose and materials, some will need the attack of song; some will crackle along the clouted grain of lo-fi; like staring at the sun, some would blind you if you didn’t  turn away, others their sun-green blotter afterimages; some show the mock of law within the  letter of the law, the law gone intense with lawlessness, as the sponge—intensifies with blood—soaking up the cell’s red smear; some will be the documents of this wet-work, albeit  redacted to the point of impunity, others under erasure will disclose the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; some will be set against surveillance, now done in billions and billions of operations, the scale of computations astronomical, algorithm and star-law; some will set the saying of the situation at the lyric/anti-lyric ledge, since negation may reverse into pleasure, not into  affirmation—and the book must (still) give pleasure, right?—some record pain, some chorus  it; others the spleen; some try and chart the way.  So the constellation through negation, since we’re stuck with night. And because we find ourselves, in medias res, out under the field of data-points—like stars;  because somewhere in the blank spaces of the data-set, the black-site prisons ghost detainees; because there are facts numbered like stars—like stars—or a catalogue of evidence (for a court that will never come); because every idea is a sun, and every sun is a star and every star a sun, because there they are, the falling stars, the fallen suns and numbers, right there  on the floor of the Grand Palais—but what good is the sublime, even the sublime halt and rupture now?  So the constellation for navigation: Polaris, Ursa Minor, Southern Cross, star-script (with  Mercury in retrograde). Left with the political imaginary of the book, caught between brackets and barricades, a (new) romanticism—and so what if it is—where critique is protest, and protest vision—vision and star-cant.

I'm often asked. Well, it's: 1. fear of Trump and 2. fear of accusations of Anti-semitism. Let me explain... 1. Our PM feels he needs to appease Trump. Not just to secure a decent trade deal, and to avoid penal tariffs, but also because he feels burdened by the weight of responsibility as a diplomatic bridge between this notoriously petulant and narcissistic US President and his fellow world leaders. 2. I'm going to be outspoken and to accuse elements in the far-right Netanyahu regime of perpetually seeking to weaponise anti-semitism to defend themselves from criticism. Not only is this undermining actual anti-semitism, which is an unquestionably terrifying threat to Jews throughout the globe, and real prejudice which must be faced down by all decent people, but it has also paralysed some from being more robust in their criticism of the unacceptable behaviour of Netanyahu and his acolytes who bring shame on Israel, giving the country the impression of being a pariah state, and undermining the good people of that country. Starmer has become highly sensitised to the risk of being accused of anti-semitism, especially since the media feeding-frenzy during the recent period when accusations of anti-semitism overwhelmed the previous leadership. So, our PM has been pushed into a corner, unable to act as I believe the majority of decent people in this country want him to. To stop this appalling slaughter and starvation. To recognise the state of Palestine. To be more forceful in his demand for a ceasefire and the return of all hostages from both sides, and to stop Netanyahu using hostages as a pretext to continue his murderous campaign. To impose trade sanctions on Israel. To stop ALL arms supply which may end up in the hands of Netanyahu's regime. To support UN and criminal court resolutions. 26.7.2025: I fear you are being too kind to the socialist (?) Prime Minister. He is on record - if the youtube video can be believed - of saying his family are/were jews and that he is a zionist. I agree he has been anxious to appease America that has for decades been dominated by the pro-israel lobby. Public opinion (maga/jews/christian for slightly different reasons supported israel) but more important top officials were/are either jews or pro jews. Both Defence and State Departments have been stacked with them quite out of proportion to the general population. But more than anything, money both to the economy generally and Trump and the political parties in particular. These donations in hundreds of millions come with zionist supporting strings. In turn, the US has overwhelming influence on Britain. However not everything can be blamed on America. Britain set its own Israel-supporting course that it need not have done by facilitating American and Israeli weapon supplies both here and on Cyprus. Close military involvement. Surrveillance flights in their hundreds over Gaza. Providing GCHQ and other intel. It has taken nearly two years of horrendous destruction, violence and starvation before Starmer has even been prepared to condemn it. Even now as far as I am aware he still hasn't admitted it amounts to a genocide or hollocaust. I can't help feeling his latest statement of condemnation has only been made because his advisors have told him plainly to change tack or face the disastrous political consequences with Reform coming up up on the outside and Corbin next to the rail. Public opinion both in the States and in Britain is shifting. The zionist tropes are not working any more. Everyone can see the deviousness of the whole anti-Hammas rhetoric, as an excuse for Palestinian elimination and for a land grab. Nothing will hide or excuse the disingenuous involvement of the British state, led by PM Starmer, in this sordid affair. 28.7.2025: Fares Abulebda I don’t usually ask for this… but today, I really want to hear from you. If anything I’ve shared ever touched your heart — a story, a word, a feeling — please leave a comment below. A sentence, a memory, a thought… anything. I promise I will read every single one. Your words mean more than you know, especially this week. I’d be happy to share more of my writings if you want. Thank you for being here with me. Fares Abulebda Tim Veater I always read your words. They are the conscience of the world. Politicians have proved their worth. What a breed of vipers? They don't even represent the people who voted for them, let alone those that didn't. Their hands are soaked in innocent blood. The cries of children should ring eternally in their ears. They are cursed to the ends of the earth and I hope they know it. Fares Abulebda Tim Veater Thank you for your powerful and honest words. It’s painful to see how politicians fail to protect the innocent and uphold justice. But voices like yours keep the conscience alive and remind us to never give up hope. Breaking the Silence ntorpsoedS531669gg1f0942af3cmcf840ia5mm681uhfft0a461a8m658c7 · Hours ago we received the devastating news that our dear friend and fellow activist, Odeh Hathaleen, was murdered in his village of Um al-Kheir in the South Hebron Hills. He was shot dead during an attack on the village by a number of settlers, including the infamous Yinon Levy, a man who has for years been terrorising Palestinians in the entire area and the subject of numerous international sanctions. Odeh was a brave and exceptionally kind friend, and well known to many of us who have been active in the South Hebron Hills. His indefatiguable energy meant that he made sure to open his home and represented his community with pride to the many visitors that we brought his way, always willing to tell his story, explain the horrendous circumstances his community faced and bring new activists on board.
