All but one of these songs I wrote in the past few months, mostly about the ongoing joint Israeli-American Holocaust of Palestinians in Gaza.  Aside from my voice and guitar, all the instrumentation you're hearing is Chet Gardiner, and the harmony vocals are Kamala Emanuel.  Kalindi Jackson made the cover.  The one song that wasn't written this year is a remix of a song I recorded at Big Red Studio back when Jeremy Corbyn was leading the British Labor Party.

From Auschwitz to Gaza

St Patrick's Day in Churubusco

Normally the ruling elite is supposed to be able to distinguish between reality and their own propaganda, even if most of the commoners believe it.  With the new administration, it appears that these people actually believe their own lies, and are actively setting up a whole regime based on them being true.

The World According to MAGA

The only groups that are actually trying to enforce international law when it comes to Israel's war crimes are organizations that are illegal in many western countries to say anything nice about, or you risk being considered a terrorist.

International Law

The final phase of the genocide involves daily massacres of Palestinians so driven to feed their families that they're ready to risk being shot by Israeli soldiers in order for a chance to get ahold of a little pasta.

The Food Lines are the Front Lines Now

The reality is incomparably worse than the movie.

The US seems ever more intent to go to war with Iran.  Meanwhile, there is a country in the Middle East with undeclared nuclear weapons, which the IAEA never visits -- Israel.

The British courts have regularly been finding Palestine Action innocent of any wrongdoing, in the group's efforts to smash the war machine, deeming them to be on the side of international law and British law, and deeming the state and the arms industry to be breaking the law.  In light of this state of affairs, the British parliament has acted decisively, passing a law with an overwhelming majority to declare Palestine Action a terrorist group, and thus to declare that anyone expressing support for Palestine Action to be a terrorist as well, potentially liable to spend up to 14 years in prison for singing the chorus to this song.

I Support Palestine Action

Maha Almassri is a Palestinian grandmother from the Gaza Strip who was staying with her son in Sydney, New South Wales, after fleeing Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, when one morning she was abducted by police in a pre-dawn raid and put in detention, where she remains today, with no explanation, and no recourse but detention or "self-deportation."  Maha is one of several Palestinians who have been similarly abducted and detained by Australian authorities this month.

Some distinctions between Auschwitz and Gaza?  Gaza is much bigger.  And the genocide is being financed and armed by the US and most of the rest of the western world.

Back when Jeremy Corbyn was the elected leader of the British Labor Party I wrote this song in praise of the great man.  Now that he is forming a new party, and a whole lot of folks are getting very excited about him and his political vision all over again, I thought it was a good time to get Chet Gardiner to do a remix of the song, to include on the next album.
