So many brilliant people are writing and protesting against the expensively funded propaganda churned out by the inbedded Isreali lobby in Britain. Please support all the terrific independent sources like The Canary who are coming under sustained prolonged attacks from the vicious bullying tactics being deployed and coordinated lying smear campaign. Thank you to JVL for their fabulous insightful articles and highly intelligent reporting of the facts.
