Digest #17 - Srebrenica 30 years on, Palestinian concentration camp & What Epstein files?

From Srebrenica to Gaza genocide is just a fact of life.

Political Alchemy Digest is a look at a selection of news stories from a Muslim viewpoint.

It’s been over a week since the last digest and it’s too hot (28 degrees right now) to write an introduction, British heat is different. They build homes with South facing windows to fry your brain whilst you try to earn a living in the rat race so you can pay extortionate electricity bills to keep the fans running and corporate Britain happy. I’d buy an ice cream, but the Ice cream van never comes around anymore. I was about to make a quip about how capitalism has ensured the 99 Flake no longer costs 99p , but apparently thats not how it got its name. Research before embarrassment.

Srebrenica 30 years on

the story: Thirty years ago on 11 July 1995, Muslim Bosnians were seeking refuge in a United Nations ‘safe area’ at Srebrenica. The Balkan war had been raging for over three years. Under the watch of the international community, Bosnian Serb forces overran the enclave, separating men and boys from their families and leading them away to be killed in what would become the worst atrocity on European soil since the Second World War.

why is this important: Although thirty years have passed, body parts of dead people are still being found, identified via painstaking DNA matching, and buried by their relatives. The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), a precursor to the International Criminal Court, was set up in response to the genocide in Bosnia. There were cries of never again, yet here we are.

Political Alchemy view: Thirty years ago for Muslims living in the West like me who did not know anything about Bosnia before the war, it was a surprise to have white, blue-eyed, European Muslims existing let alone being ethnically cleansed.

The Muslims of the area were invited into Srebrenica and thought they would be protected by the United Nations, yet they were left to be slaughtered whilst guarded by armed Dutch ‘peacekeepers’. However, as a young man, the real abandonment came from the Muslim governments who did nothing to protect Muslims thousands of miles away, alone, pursued, starved and butchered like animals.

Thirty years later there is a synergy: the global organisations have for the most part abandoned Gaza, and so have the Muslim rulers. There has to be another way as Muslims we need to stop subcontracting the protection of their own to those who either do not care or are unable and unwilling to step in when genocide occurs.

Palestinians to be put in concentration camp

the story: Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has instructed the military to prepare to build a “humanitarian city” in Gaza. It is to be built on the ruins of Rafah, the southernmost town in the Gaza Strip that has been largely destroyed amidst the Zionists’ ongoing campaign.

why this matters: With Gazans still searching for food, a blockade of aid coming into Gaza, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) killing those waiting for food as well as lacing flour with opioids, you would think there were more pressing things to do. If the Zionists and their paymasters in Washington are trying to test how low they can push the bar of humanity, then this is the best way to do it. After openly speaking about eventually expelling all Gazans from their own land, this is now being put into practice. Satellite images show the building has already started.

Political Alchemy view: What is the best way to force a large group of people into what they know will be a concentration camp? Well, kill and starve them for nearly two years, make them lose hope in anyone coming to save them, and then paint a false picture of “helping them”.

The Western backers of the Zionists have tested and tried the patience of the world, and after 20 months have realised no matter what they do no one is really going to create a fuss. Yes, hundreds of thousands of people may demonstrate and yes, there might be some noise, but no government in the world is going to act. If someone dares to act they can just sanction them as they did with the UN Special Rapporteur. A international law expert told The Conversation that the idea of the camp legally looks like a crime against humanity. None of these things matter anymore.

Once again, and I must sound like a broken record, the inaction of the Muslim rulers has allowed this to happen.

Epstein files? What Epstein files?

the story: The whole Epstein affair sprung back into life this week as the Director of the FBI, Kash Patel, and his Deputy Director, Dan Bongino, announced that there was no fresh evidence to be released regarding the Epstein case. What this effectively means is that there is no client list to be released. This was the one thing the world had been waiting for to see who else was implicated along with Epstein.

We know Prince Andrew does not sweat and, despite being photographed with one of the victims, was slumming it at a Pizza Express on the day the photo was taken. But what of all the others?

These revelations came despite both Patel and Bongino previously suggesting that there was a list and there was more to the Epstein affair than we were being told.

Patel, meanwhile, suggested to right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson in December 2023 Congress was blocking the purported list “because of who’s on that list,” telling Johnson “you don’t think that Bill Gates is lobbying Congress night and day to prevent the disclosure of that list?” while deriding House Republicans for allegedly failing to release the list: “put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are.”

Having said all of this former Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz said on Friday 11th July 2025 said:

“I know the names of the individuals. I know why they’re being suppressed. I know who’s suppressing them”

The reason he couldn’t reveal the details was because he was: ‘But I’m bound by confidentiality’

A good series of videos on the whole issue can be found on the Voidzilla YouTube Channel

why this is important: What Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, along with others I might add, have done is create an air of suspicion about the Epstein affair. Even the death of Epstein was questioned by Kash Patel in the past; on Joe Rogan he clearly stated that Epstein’s death was not a suicide. The camera malfunctions at the detention facility and now the lack of a list put the whole judicial system under scrutiny.

Political Alchemy view: The judiciary, the basic upholding of the law, is what defines a society. America has been at the forefront of attacking Muslim lands and changing regimes to establish a ‘basic rule of law’. It has labelled the Islamic ruling system and judiciary barbaric, yet at home its own judiciary is now shambolic.

If the judicial system of a state is cast into doubt over its impartiality or the possibility that things are being hidden, then it is not much of an advert for democracy to the rest of the world. Especially when you have bombed half of it to change regimes and impose democracy down the barrel of a gun.

the small print

The Trump administration announced on Wednesday it was issuing sanctions against an independent official tasked with investigating human rights abuses in the Palestinian territories. The state department’s decision to sanction Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza is another attempt to silence any critics of the Zionists. Don’t get me wrong the United Nations for the most part is nothing more than a colonial tool for Western foreign policy, but if any individual does act out of moral outrage then they will incur the wrath of the American propaganda machine.

Houthis continue to do more for the plight of the Gazan’s than anyone else. This week they have attacked and sunk two ships in the Red Sea. The motivation for these attacks was the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The Houthis have taken a number of the crew as prisoners. All of this despite a deal with the Americans to stop attacking ships in return for the Americans not bombing Houthi positions in Yemen. What the deal did not include though was hitting Israeli targets.

The Washington Post revealed that India’s anti-Muslim deportation drive included tossing Muslim men into the sea off the coast of Bangladesh. Their documents proving they are Indian citizens are seized when they are arrested. They are miles away from their children and families, they have no links to Bangladesh yet the world’s largest democracy is arbitrarily deporting them.
