Things that have been normalised: - Killing children - Killing journalists - Killing medics - Killing aid workers - Starving people to death - "Aid massacres" The world doesn't turn back from here. This is now our reality.

We kept being told that journalism was a bulwark against fascism, a "fourth estate". This is the liberal frame for perceiving the industry's worth. But the reality is the polar opposite: fascism has been allowed to thrive, and could not have done so, without journalism.

This is today's headline from Gaza. Israelis have totally normalized massacring starving people waiting for aid. Evil does not begin to describe it.

David Milner Capitalism sucks. This system cannot be reformed. Its flaws are irredeemable. Talk about socialism. Talk about revolution. People before profit.

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”. They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour. They were gunned down and murdered instead. What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).” Israel has dropped ~80,000 tons of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of 8 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey.

David Milner Integrity has been replaced by fear and adherence to the party line. Real journalism has been pushed to the back of the shelves, and we have a whole line of shiny,specious books with the same themes but saying very little. Gaza is a testament to this.

Mainstream media pretending Iran needs to be blown up to save us from nukes and terrorists, by the illegal nuclear arsenal of Israel, as though you can't just google a map of Greater Israel 🤷‍♂️

David Milner ‘Journalism’ as such has become a megaphone for fascists, their propaganda arm. They’re the sideshow clowns with open mouths, heads oscillating back and forth while being fed the bullshit from above. The fourth estate is an abject failure, just copywriters.

As Netanyahu accelerates the creation of greater Israel, there will come a point when Saudi Arabia dumps friendly US relations due to the security threat from US backed expansionist Israel. When that happens everything changes in the Middle East.
