For more than 2 decades, @BBC has been my main daily news source on global affairs. That's over.
Since the Israeli genocide in Gaza and their appalling coverage thereof, I hardly open their website any longer.

The israeli regime is declared an illegal state by the Int’l Court of Justice, its occupation of Palestine must be dismantled & all israelis evacuated

[Back On This App and It’s Still Hell @wickdchiq]

Ok so lemme try that again:

So no major Canadian news media outlet has posted on Twitter about the ICC and Israeli officials AT ALL. And then they complain about us getting our news from social media.
News media in Canada continue to be laughably unserious

Here for accuracy.

PRESS RELEASE: Islamic Relief Canada is devastated to announce the killing of Canadian-sponsored Gaza orphans and is appalled by the lack of urgency displayed by the Canadian Government in addressing the catastrophic situation unfolding on the ground. 🧵

US Airman Aaron Bushnell did not kill himself to protest some other country's war

The US Department of Defense has compelled the participation of Air Force members like Bushnell in Israel's Gaza genocide

Their orders to deploy to Israel read "mandatory"

[Dimitri Lascaris @dimitrilascaris]

A Palestinian mother in Canada finally got a call from Canada’s government advising that she could bring her 13-year old daughter from Gaza to Canada.

The only problem is that the call came two weeks after her daughter was killed in Gaza.

Whatever your position is, just take a moment to reflect on just how dark this is.

Just hours after the ICJ concluded that Israel was plausibly committing genocide and ordered it to dramatically step up humanitarian efforts, 7 Western countries sanctioned... not Israel but the Palestinians and the UN (!!!).

They cut funding for UNRWA, which is THE UN agency tasked with humanitarian assistance to Palestinians (and therefore their main lifeline).

Even if you were the world's worst cynic, you'd still have a hard time expecting such sheer level of cruelty and depravation. This is absolutely unfathomable.

They did so with the cheapest possible excuse, effectively using Israel's narrative that "UNWRA is Hamas" and allegations by Israel that some UNWRA staff were involved in the 7th Oct attack but 1) Israel has been making these accusations for months (so the timing of cutting funding right after the ICJ ruling is obviously not a coincidence) and 2) UNWRA has announced it's terminated the contracts of the staff members accused (12 people out of its 30,000 strong workforce) and launched an investigation, so it obviously doesn't condone this. Even if the allegations were to be proven correct, how can an organization of 30,000 staff be held collectively accountable for the individual actions of 0.04% of its workforce? Especially in the current context when its work is a life or death matter for millions of people.

To add to the cynicism here, UNWRA staff are actually a major victim of the war with at least 152 UNRWA staffers killed by Israel in Gaza to date. In a normal world, it is Israel that should be punished for killing so many members of a humanitarian organization. But nope, it's the humanitarian organization that's getting punished, alongside with the very vulnerable population it's committed to helping.

January 12, 151 killed

January 14, 125 killed
January 15, 132 killed
January 16, 158 killed
January 17, 163 killed
January 18, 172 killed

In the last week alone Israel killed at least 1036 Palestinians in Gaza Strip, all amidst the ongoing blackout.

[Tom Morello @tmorello]

Remember the pitched controversy months ago as claims were made that Israel had gone so far as to commit the terrible war crime of actually bombing A HOSPITAL in Gaza? Charts & graphs & radar were brought forth to try to assess blame. 36 hospitals later now there are none left.

[🇵🇸🌺The Pali-Ninja 🌺🇵🇸 @CalxAndRoses]

we’re living in a time where Zionist professors are deliberately putting their students on a hit list and the university is not only ignoring it, but continuing to allow the silencing of their Palestinian students.

The Diary of Anne Frank is being broadcast into millions of people's phones around the world in real time & we *still* haven't stopped this atrocity...

Bisan's videos will be studied as a text in future highschools & students will wonder why their parents & grandparents stood by
