Stretching across millennia from Aleppo to Tehran to Istanbul, the old city bazaars have been centres of commerce that function as parallel political structures, engines of influence that can threaten regimes, negotiate with power, or topple governments entirely.

Where capital concentrates, and merchant networks organise, something more than commerce emerges: an economic force capable of challenging state authority itself.

The history of Iran, Syria, and Turkey reveals a pattern that transcends borders and centuries, with the bazaar having repeatedly proven itself to be a hidden hand that reshapes the very foundations of governance.

Prosecutors said the six defendants, whose trial began in November, were members of the now-banned group Palestine Action, which organised the assault on the Elbit Systems UK facility in August last year.

Over the past two decades, the framing of Israel as a settler-colonial state and Palestinians as an Indigenous people has become mainstream in Western academia.

During the genocide in Gaza, this discourse expanded beyond scholarly circles, placing Palestine at the heart of a global network of anti-colonial solidarity.

But when Indigeneity becomes a romantic category, Palestine risks being folded into the same logic of recognition that turns Indigenous struggle into metaphor, writes Izzeddin Araj 🔗 www.newarab.com/opinion/palestinians-are-indigenou…

Two and a half years into Israel’s genocide, the Palestinian people have been practically entirely stricken from the British mainstream media agenda. That doesn’t mean there is no mention of Palestine, or more specifically the Gaza Strip, but it is coming up through reporting on the global machinations of imperialist powers, rather than through a concern for the Palestinian people.

Though their suffering is no longer laid bare on the covers of British newspapers, the horrors inflicted on the Palestinian people have not stopped. Israeli aircrafts and drones have continued to bomb the Gaza Strip almost daily since the so-called ceasefire came into effect in October 2025. Israel has killed hundreds of Palestinians since then, continuing to target medical workers, journalists and children, amongst others.

As the UK government relies on media silence to renew arms export licences to Israel, solidarity movements must keep up the pressure, writes Ryvka Barnard.
