'Time of national shame': Chief rabbi condemns BBC's 'mishandled response' to anti-IDF chanting at Glastonbury
Tuesday, 1 July 2025 () The chief rabbi has described the BBC's response to anti-IDF chanting at Glastonbury as "belated and mishandled" - after the culture secretary claimed there is a "problem of leadership" at the national broadcaster.
A deadly ambush in eastern Khan Younis has left multiple Israeli soldiers dead after Palestinian resistance fighters detonated powerful explosives inside a booby-trapped house. Al-Quds Brigades and Islamic Jihad forces launched coordinated strikes using RPGs, barrel bombs, and the devastating “Thaqeb” device to destroy Israeli armor, including a Merkava tank.
The Israeli military scrambled helicopters for evacuation under heavy fire as reinforcements came under attack. This marks a major escalation in guerrilla-style warfare inside Gaza, with Palestinian factions warning of more complex and lethal operations ahead.
The IDF has acknowledged rising casualties—but Palestinian sources claim the real numbers are much higher. Is Israel losing control of its ground offensive?

Iran’s judiciary has reported that 935 people were killed during the 12-day Israeli aerial bombardment, according to forensics data cited by state media. Among the dead are 132 women and 38 children, indicating the significant civilian toll. The Israeli military has stated it targeted Iranian military leaders, nuclear scientists, and facilities, including suspected nuclear development sites.
While Israel claims its strikes were strategic and defense-oriented, Iranian officials have condemned them as indiscriminate and brutal, escalating tensions in an already fragile region. The death toll adds weight to calls for international accountability and raises questions about the conduct of war and proportionality in military engagements. The 12-day conflict marked one of the most intense escalations between the two nations, with ripple effects across the Middle East. As both countries navigate the aftermath, Iran is pushing for diplomatic and legal responses while also reinforcing its defense capabilities.

More than 580 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,200 injured while standing in line for humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to the latest data from the Gaza Media Office. Eyewitness reports and Israeli media reveal shocking claims that IDF soldiers were ordered to fire on unarmed, starving civilians—men, women, and children—desperate for food.
The UN has condemned the US-Israel airdrop system as a “death trap”, calling it a catastrophic failure of humanitarian response. A new study, led by the University of London and Palestinian scholars, reveals that nearly 100,000 people have died since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza—most from airstrikes, many from starvation and disease.
This video unpacks the systematic targeting of civilians, the crumbling infrastructure, and the global silence in the face of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. Rights groups are calling this a modern genocide. Will the world act before it's too late?
