In an interview with NBC, victims of Jeffrey Epstein have accused attorney general Pam Bondi of foul play:

“Intentional”

“I think we all realize now that [the DOJ] really wanted to silence us, and [they] thought that [they] could scare us by putting our names out there.”

“It had a list of victims, and one was redacted. That makes no sense. This is a list of victims. That is INTENTIONAL!”

This is an impeachable offense. Pam Bondi needs to be impeached immediately!

The women speaking in the video are the same group who stood behind Pam Bondi when she spoke before the Justice Department Oversight committee. The reason the women are raising their hands in the below image is because they were asked to indicate which of them have been ignored by Bondi’s Department of Justice (DoJ):

Failed by the DOJ

Regarding coverage of victims, Maddison Wheeldon wrote for the Canary:

According to BBC News, on Friday 30th January two lawyers for Epstein’s victims insisted that a New York federal judge order the DOJ to remove the website holding the files. They stated that the negligent release was:

“the single most egregious violation of victim privacy in one day in United States history”.

At the Canary, we agree wholeheartedly.

This US-led failure to redact identifying images and names of victims has made the complete removal of such content the only viable response. Once again, women around the world are left feeling exposed and vulnerable, while so-called efforts to ‘protect women’ operate instead to shied powerful perpetrators of abuse. Yet again, a manipulative and abusive system has retraumatised the very women it was ostensibly meant to serve.

The BBC is looking for a new head of its Arabic-language service to please Israel lobbyists. Mouthpieces for the occupation had complained it was too quick to blame Israel for its actions. The move is intended to force BBC Arabic to use the same dishonest framing as its English-language services.

The manufactured furore began in November 2025. Pro-Israel pressure groups complained that the BBC Arabic coverage of its ‘war’ in Gaza was “critically different” from English coverage. This meant that it was – this is not satire — “painting Israel as the aggressor” in Gaza.

BBC and the mirage of impartiality

Yes, genocidal Israel has murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians in Gaza along with hundreds of journalists and their families. It uses weapons that are illegal under humanitarian law on families in tents. But saying Israel is the aggressor is beyond the pale to the BBC. There was also criticism of BBC Arabic’s guests, because two of them had supported violence against Israelis.

Commenting on the BBC Arabic reshuffle, the Arabic-speaking Israeli ‘journalist’ Edy Cohen, welcomed the move:

https://x.com/EdyCohen/status/2019788772385177737

“Impartiality and editorial accuracy”? Right. But, as if this wasn’t hypocritical enough, Edy Cohen is no stranger to racist, inflammatory posts himself. In September 2024, in the midst of Israel’s genocide and talking to Israeli Channel 14 — the “pet channel of Likud and its far-right governing coalition partners” — he lumped the whole “Arab world” together into a mass that only responds to force and will attack Israel if it is “perceived as weak”:

In this world, the equation is simple: When Israel uses force and employs force – the Arab world and terrorist groups are afraid. When Israel hesitates and takes policy actions like containment or non-escalation, it’s perceived as weak, and invites further blows from terror organizations.

This was not an aberration for Cohen. He is so notorious for smears and ‘hasbara’ on behalf of Israel that he was the subject of an report titled:

Hashtags and hoaxes: How Edy Cohen engineers the Israeli disinformation machine on Twitter.

Stoking the fire

The report was published in August 2023, before Israel’s Gaza genocide began, so he didn’t just start after 7 October. It notes that:

Cohen deliberately – and strategically – tarnishes the reputation of Palestinians, Palestinian political factions, and the Palestinian resistance, specifically targeting them to discredit their stance.

It also points out that among Cohen’s most prominent hashtags are “#GloryToIsrael” and “#PalestineIsNotMyCause”.

According to the report, Cohen is helped in the circulation of his fake videos and inflammatory comment by a network of:

accounts bearing Arabic names that exclusively champion Israel and tout the “benefits” of normalization. He shares the posts from these accounts that, in turn, retweet his own posts.

Even though some of these tweets are attributed to real Arab figures who openly endorse normalization, many of them appear to be fake accounts, seemingly created with the specific intent to persuade Arab followers to embrace the concept of normalization.

It appears that Cohen is either formally a part of Israel’s ‘hasbara’ propaganda network, or functionally indistinguishable from those who are. The Misbar report concludes it’s the former:

In sum, Misbar’s comprehensive analysis concludes the Edy Cohen account is one of the many Israeli accounts present in the Arabic online sphere that systematically target Arab audiences, skillfully glossing over and whitewashing Israel’s image for them while concurrently distorting and casting a shadow over Palestinians. This calculated effort also appears designed to sow division within Arab nations and communities whenever the opportunity arises.

Cohen and others like him continue to lecture on ‘impartiality and editorial accuracy’ in BBC Arabic coverage — accusing them of ‘wrongly painting Israel as the aggressor’ in Gaza. Meanwhile, no mainstream UK media outlets will dare challenge this —  amplifying the Israel lobby’s narrative instead.

On Thursday, February 12, an estimated 300 million workers, peasants, students, and professionals from diverse sectors mobilized across India, staging one of the largest coordinated actions in recent years. The nationwide upsurge was organized to defend labor and social rights and to protest the policies of the country’s far-right government.

The strike call was issued by the Central Trade Unions (CTUs), a joint platform bringing together India’s major labor federations, including the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), the All India Central Council of Trade Unions (AICCTU), and the Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS), among others.

Responding to the call, workers halted production and services in thousands of coal mines, refineries, industrial plants, banks, and transport networks, with disruptions extending even to remote regions of the country.

The mobilization was not confined to industrial labor. Millions of farmers and agricultural laborers also joined the action under the banner of organizations such as the Samyukta Kisan Sabha (SKM) and the All India Agricultural Workers Union (AIAWA). Demonstrations were organized at district headquarters and village centers nationwide, highlighting the breadth of rural participation. In several states — including Kerala, Odisha, and Tripura — commercial activity came largely to a standstill, as businesses closed in solidarity with the strike.

Mass rallies were also held outside government offices, where thousands marched with banners, placards, and red flags, chanting slogans against government policies. Among the central demands was the revocation of recent trade agreements concluded by India with the United States and the European Union. The CTUs, SKM, and left-wing parties argue that these agreements compromise national sovereignty and undermine the livelihoods of millions of farmers by granting foreign agricultural products unrestricted access to Indian markets.

In addition, farmers and workers reiterated their demand for the withdrawal of a series of laws introduced by the Modi administration — including legislation concerning electricity and seed regulation — which they characterize as pro-corporate and detrimental to the broader population.

The strike received the backing of the country’s principal left parties, including the Communist Party of India (Marxist), the Communist Party of India (CPI), and the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, among others, reinforcing the broad political support behind the nationwide action.

CPIM: Congratulations to Working Class on Successful General Strike

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) congratulates the working class of our country on the successful general strike today. Peasants and agricultural workers joined the working class in protesting against the notification of the four labour codes, the virtual repeal of the rights based Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, along with other anti-worker, anti-farmer, and anti-people policies of the BJP-led Union government.

The working class made its voice heard loud and clear. The CPI(M) reiterates its solidarity with the workers, farmers, and agricultural workers who are protesting the various anti-people policies of the BJP government.

The government should immediately rescind the notification of the four labour codes and ensure that the hard-won rights of workers are protected. It should rescind the VB-GRAMG legislation, call back the proposal for privatisation of electricity distribution and withdraw the seed bill as well. It should also withdraw from the various Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and trade deals it has signed, particularly with the US and Europe, as they are detrimental to the interests of Indian workers, farmers and people in general.
