The Western media covered up Israel's explicit promises to commit grave war crime from day one. This is the biggest journalistic scandal in modern history. Today, I'm launching my new project - BattleLines. Click to subscribe - and read the damning evidence for yourself.

This article makes two main claims “If it doesn’t look like The Holocaust it can’t be genocide” “If it were genocide, Israel would kill more people” Both make little sense 🧵

Suddenly media outlets are noticing the catastrophe enveloping Gaza. We warned you what Israel would do from the start. There are no excuses. Don't let the complicit erase their guilt 👇 owenjones.news/p/we-warned-yo…

The population in Gaza is facing mass starvation due to Israel's siege. The hunger is also affecting aid workers, doctors, journalists; people with essential roles in both helping the civilian population in Gaza and keeping the world informed about events on the ground. 1/5

The New Yorker hasn't done a single cover on the carnage in Gaza. The Atlantic, either. The Times editorial board editorialized on Gaza once in the last 15 months, in January--nothing on the food blockade.

Those complicit in Israel's genocide will go to jail. Stop being defeatist. Stop making the lack of justice a self-fulfilling prophecy. This crime is too extreme, too depraved, too confessed to, too documented. It may take years. But they will go to jail.

Always tip your Deliveroo driver generously.

The claim that Hamas is stealing aid is a lie to justify mass starvation. Even Israel doesn't privately make this claim. "Comprehensive audits show that less than 1 per cent of assistance has been lost to theft, far below levels elsewhere." crisisgroup.org/middle-east-no…

For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent: This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life. You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.

This is what climate change actually looks like, for the most part, in the developed world.

Your charity, your words of shock after the genocide, won’t make a difference. We will not accept your apology after the genocide. What has been done, has been done. I want you to look in the mirror, and ask: where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide?

A fifth of the British population are morally depraved.

A sudden dramatic shift in the BBC's coverage. Why? Because everybody knows that the utter calamity engulfing Gaza is going to be impossible to hide. For the Guilty Men of the media: you all had ample warning for 21 months! You did this! Everything that now happens is on you.

⏳ Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.

A revealing post from this illegal Israeli West Bank settler. He cannot understand why anyone would care about anyone who isn’t “their own people”. Well, Uri, my government is arming and facilitating your genocidal state, and I consider Palestinians to be humans of equal worth
