it’s gone. That sense of the ground I walk on — hear how my first land changed. With genocide.
Renowned Journalist Peter Oborne tears into the BBC: ‘170 Journalists murdered by 🇮🇱 in Gaza 🇵🇸, the BBC reported only 6%’ ‘The BBC reported 60% of journalist murdered in Ukraine 🇺🇦’ ‘Do the BBC agree with Lammy that journalists aren’t in Gaza 🇵🇸?’ It’s complicit. It’s racism.
For an interview @BBC asked a 17-year-old kid in Gaza, who is being starved, if he or any of his parents have affiliations with Hamas, and the producer said— I quote “it’s policy” to ask this. A teen being starved to death, currently in a slaughterhouse is being asked this.…
When it comes to so-called “impartial” news outlets & their coverage of live wire stories (Gaza, Brexit etc), journalists are allowed to inconsistently apply editorial rules. The stated goal - “balance” - creates the perfect conditions under which reality can be distorted. 1/3
BBC justified Farage airtime based on polling figures. Get ready for all that coverage of the new left wing party!
The goal should be to follow the evidence, come to robust conclusions, and present them to the public with meaning-making analysis and due context. “Balance” is the goal under which grave distortions of reality will happen. 3/3
I'd like to dedicate this to the incredibly brave Bob Geldof 🙌
Writer can no longer stay silent
For almost two years the Israeli genociders have been targeting and slaughterind Palestinian journalists, some of them working for all you signatories. What did you do? Nothing. Why didn't you wage campaigns for them, publicise their plight and put pressure on your governments.…
A joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters
"We've had reports come through from the Hamas run health ministry.." When BBC News report what Israel says they never clarify its led by someone wanted for intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population & extermination/murder as a crime against humanity, do they?
There is no two sides There’s occupier & occupied Genocide enforcer & genocide victims Only one side is mass starving refugees in concentration camps Only one side is enforcing apartheid & blockade Only one side is demolishing homes & torturing prisoners That side is Israel
Israeli Govt appears to be paying Google to place propaganda accusing UN for “deliberate sabotage” of humanitarian efforts in Gaza by failing to distribute aid. It does not mention the 766 people shot dead at US-Israel backed GHF aid distribution sites. Seen today on YouTube.
How 🇮🇱 gets away with genocide: 1. Israel makes false claims to justify war crimes 2. Western media and officials treat as fact 3. Palestinians tell you what’s really happening but get ignored 4. Israeli lies debunked after damage has been done 5. No accountability 6. Repeat 1-5
There are two sides right now: On the side of genocide On the side of ending genocide There is no nuance. There is no neutrality. There is no additional context needed. There is only complicity and ending genocide.
Shame on all of you who were silent. Speak now but if you want redemption, say why you were silent. Speak the truth or forever be haunted
It shouldn’t have taken this for more people to speak out. We should never have gotten here.
They LIE. They have LIED this entire time- lied about bombing hospitals, torturing doctors, everything. ANY JOURNALISTS OF INTEGRITY WOULDNT PLATFORM AN ISRAELI OFFICIAL AT ALL.
Breaking News: Israeli military officials say they have no proof Hamas routinely steals UN aid, undercutting a claim Israel has used to limit food for Gaza. nyti.ms/4opoK4n
Gaza | “Destroy everything. Destroy There are no houses in Gaza… We only left them a chorus» — Shared by an Israeli bulldozer operator on his account.
If the US and UK halted military assistance to Israel and the EU suspended its trade agreement aid would be flowing into Gaza.
October and November 2023, the UN: "GAZA HAS BECOME A GRAVEYARD FOR CHILDREN" July 2025: UK politicians and pundits are finally "appalled".
The appalling scenes in Gaza are unrelenting. The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance. This humanitarian catastrophe must end.
The next time some batshit crazy genocide apologist claims that the UN is responsible for starvation in Gaza or Hamas has stolen whatever aid there has been, just send them this. They lie, they lie and they lie reuters.com/world/middle-e…
"Palestinian farmers and shepherds in the West Bank are cut off from water, attacked by [Israeli] settler thugs, and repeatedly threatened with death; their herds are stolen in huge numbers by the settlers, with the active support of police and soldiers." nybooks.com/articles/2025/…
The gaslighting by British politicians is really quite something. As if they haven’t been supporting the genocide all along. As if they aren’t still sending parts of F35s to the Israeli army and flying planes over Gaza in order to share intelligence with them. The British…
You should feel rage about whats happening in Gaza @EmilyThornberry, but can you tell us when that anger started? Was it after Israel had slaughtered 1,000 kids? 10,000 kids? How many was too many for you? Or did the anger start after Keir didn't give you a job in govt?
Entire families were being wiped out by December 2023. Keir Starmer drew outrage for saying Israel had the right to cut off supplies to Gaza on the 11th of October 2023! It was always clear what this was and was going to be.
