Hello everyone, Due to the forced displacement my family and I went through, we were forced to leave everything behind. I wasn’t able to take any of our basic necessities with me. In that moment, all I could think about was saving my family and getting them to safety. But now,

Guy wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes starts a new war and gives a speech justifying it in English.

So… does Iran have a right to defend itself?

Christ. It’s so cruel. What has this strategy achieved? Has it got the hostages back? Has it saved their lives? Has it made Israel safer long term? Has it made the world safer? Has it been precise? Has it defeated Hamas - with surgical planning? Has it been inhuman?

Gazans tell Haaretz of a sharp escalation in attacks following Israel's strike on Iran, with one eyewitness reporting heavy gunfire, and even drone fire, at civilians approaching aid distribution points | Jack khoury.جاك خوري haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

That makes sense. Does the fanatics thing also apply to Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Putin?

A reminder that even now, at the peak of Iran's attack, many more innocent people are being killed in Gaza than in Israel, and that you won't read a word about them in any Western news source. It's as if they are invisible, or at least regarded as subhuman, by our newsrooms

“Near aid distribution points”

This is an outstanding and thorough examination of BBC coverage of the Gaza war. The BBC, an organisation I love and support, has serious and troubling questions to answer.

“Despite 34x more Palestinian deaths, Israeli fatalities received 33x more coverage per death”.

They are some of the poorest people in the world. In one of the most perilous positions in the world. 34x as many have died. Most women & children. With an average age of 18. They’ve got almost nothing. And BBC News coverage has been “systematically biased” against them

The accusation that Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza — likely hundreds, maybe even thousands — has become all but undeniable. Even Israel’s supporters, those who defended or withstood this publicly broadcast nightmare for 19 months, have reached some semblance of a limit.

So disheartening for those of us who have been lifelong defenders of the BBC News (UK)
