One of the roles of local media in a free country is the right to hold publicly funded politicians to account - unless you are in Nottinghamshire with a Reform Council it would appear…. societyofeditors.org/soe_new…

“We were being trained to be soldiers from kindergarten. Literally from kindergarten...” “One of the main successes of Israeli propaganda is to convince the world that the situation is complicated. But it's far from being complicated..” —Israeli activist Ronnie Barkan

Powerful words from historian @DalrympleWill on Gaza, exposing how Britain’s colonial legacy played a key role in creating this injustice. The suffering in Gaza didn’t start yesterday, it was engineered long ago. #Gaza #Palestin🇵🇸

Greek doctor Christos Georgalas on his stint in Gaza: "I can’t say I went to war. War is a very different thing. There was no war in Treblinka, there was no war in Auschwitz. War has two armies. Here you have a population that is mainly civilians and women and children, who have no way of escaping. And bombs are systematically raining down from the sky. They hit hospitals, they hit journalists."

The @nytimes says Israel is deliberately flattening Rafah. They are also starving people. This is the beginning of a plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza….. When we say Never Again, we should mean Never Again! In years to come we must all look in the mirror and ask if we did enough

Avi Shlaim is probably Israel's foremost living historian. He lives in the UK The BBC has not invited him on once as a pundit since Oct 7.
Avi Shlaim as fearless as ever

The Israeli army attacked a convoy of Red Crescent ambulances. They handcuffed the paramedics. They executed them by shooting them in the head and chest. Then they threw their bodies into a mass grave. What. Does. It. Take. theguardian.com/world/2025/a…

Over 50 MPs have backed my parliamentary motion demanding sanctions on Israel for yet more violations of international law. Israel gets away with war crime after war crime because Western governments refuse to act. That must change. Ask your MP to sign my parliamentary motion. nitter.cf/RichardBurgon/status/1…

Newborn twins in Gaza murdered with their mother & grandmother as their father went to collect birth certificates. The horrors are unimaginable. So bad Sky News is reporting them. Happening because Biden & Starmer are supporting a monster in Netanyahu.
