Good morning!
This might seem like a very silly thing for me to get upset about to some of you, so feel free to scroll on by, but I got upset listening to @BBCRadio2 in the car this morning. 🧵
Reminds me of what @GhassanAbuSitt1 said in his Glasgow Uni rector about what they are using on Palestinians today will be used in Easterhouse tomorrow.
If you're not scared you're not paying attention.

This week the court at @UofGlasgow refused to divest from arms and this morning the weekly careers email had over a dozen job adverts from @BAESystemsplc. I hope everyone, from courts to admin sending that email, never sleep from hearing screams of stateless people burning alive.
To walk among tanks with my hands raised, enduring countless insults, curses, and humiliation, waiting for my death like so many others they killed before my eyes.
I will never forget that young man they forced to strip completely, and when he refused to dance for them, they killed him.
Every day, I think of all that. I don’t know sleep, nor can I lift my head. My heart boils, and my chest burns. I ask myself repeatedly: how will I live the rest of my life carrying all of this?
With every passing moment, I feel ashamed that I am still alive. How I wish I could drive a dagger into my mind and rip out all those memories.
Message to news outlets:
Today I received an apology from Tagesschau for abusing my footage of the incident which took place after the soccer game in Amsterdam between Ajax and M. Tel Aviv. I refer also to the footage of reporter @OmeBender who covered that same fight with more details.
@BILD@CNN@BBCWorld@Guardian@nytimes
I would like you to do the same as Tagesschau. An apology, a removal of my footage and the truth. A few minutes of your precious time.
Write down: Maccabi supporters attacked Amsterdam citizens in front of Central Station after the game.
Journalism is about finding truth. Not about making money on a twist of the script.
It’s time to show some respect to reality. That’s your job.
(dear folks on X: would you be so kind to post all links to framings under this post so I can address more News Outlets?)
