🚨🇰🇵🇮🇷 North Korea: Any new Israeli attack on Iran will be considered a threat to Asian security. Pyongyang: "The aggression against Tehran is no longer a local matter… it’s a threat that affects everyone." It concludes with a veiled warning: "The era of solo play is over."
Some thoughts on @AJListeningPost about how the British media distracts attention from the UK's complicity in genocide, and why that might be changing...
So Israels plan is to imprison 2 million people in a camp built on rubble & to refuse to let them out unless they leave Gaza.
Since we published our revelations last week, only one UK newspaper has written a single word about it If we had a functioning media, this would have been front-page news Propaganda by omission is establishment media's primary technique for brainwashing in service of the state

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
A shocking Associated Press investigation has uncovered disturbing footage showing security contractors firing live rounds and stun grenades at Palestinians, not in combat zones, but at food distribution centers in Gaza.

It's now clear why the BBC dared not air the documentary Doctors under Attack. It shows beyond doubt that Israel is systematically destroying the health sector in Gaza as part of a campaign of genocidal violence. In the UK, watch the film here: channel4.com/programmes/gaz…
If you supply weapons to somebody that is accused of acts of genocide, then you yourself become complicit in those acts as well. Here’s why I am calling for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s role in one of the greatest crimes of our time.
Israeli has set fire to Taybeh — a 10,000-year-old village in Ramallah, Palestine. A place where Jesus once walked. Home to the world’s oldest living Christian community. And not a peep from Western mainstream media.
