Notice how crucial language is. By saying “appears to”, the BBC intentionally casts doubt on what is, in reality, a clear fact: that Israel committed barbaric crimes and then lied to cover them up.

Almost 70% of those killed in Gaza are women & children

96% of Gaza's water is undrinkable

Gaza is home to the largest number of amputee children in modern history

Israel's PM is a wanted man by the ICC for committing war crimes

How can the UK justify selling Israel weapons?

How can it be that not a single member of the lobby correspondents' group from a mainstream outlet was present to report Professor Mamode's evidence, right there in parliament in front of MPs?

[Good Shepherd Collective @Shepherds4Good]

Palestinian children in Gaza hold a press conference outside Al Shifa hospital, speaking English so the world cannot pretend not to understand them: “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace… we want to live as the other children live.”

Thanks for everything @elizabethalker - you will be much missed on Saturday mornings ✨💜✨

[Eileen Maitland @Odetta]

@classicjacko @BBCRadio3 Well that's Saturday mornings effectively ruined.
What are you thinking @classicjacko @BBCRadio3?
You are sacrificing longstanding, and loyal listeners in a quest for an audience that doesn't exist. I'm done.

[Eileen Maitland @Odetta]

Loving @jasdeepdegun on @BBCRadio3 - will def be listening to much more of this. Congratulations on a well deserved award last night ✨

#OnThisDay in 1955, Richard Burton had a Christmas message he wished to send in Welsh to his family, his village and his country. He also had a festive message for English people... and a particularly feisty stallion. Merry Christmas / Nadolig Llawen, from all at BBC Archive.

@Portal_Queen I don't understand - where is the Époisses?

This self-portrait, from 1556, is by Sofonisba Anguissola.

She was regarded by everyone from the Pope to Michelangelo as the greatest female artist of the Renaissance.

Here is the story of her long and fascinating life...

Air siren all clear.
13 drones were shot down.
I postponed a visit to the dentist. Made breakfast. Said Mom ‘We’re ok’.
Have read that Mr New Twitter is hiding Ukraine from you.

But we’re still here. We’re loud, I want everyone to see this Ukrainian tweet

Glory & power to the women & girls in Iran who have seized the narrative & become object and subject in a feminist revolution they began & which they propel.

They are heroes, yes. But look at Time magazine (L) impose politeness on their revolution (R). Revolutions are not polite

[Eileen Maitland @Odetta]

@iomcarolb @ihategettingold This is an excellent idea

[Eileen Maitland @Odetta]

@ML_Philosophy That's the spirit! 😁
