@davidrkadler @zarahsultana @gbsumudflotilla It is suspicious they can show force for this but not take the initiative independently.

@JamesMelville Isn't she supposed to be looking after the nation's children...

@LozzaFox @jonanor UK's population is so easy to manipulate; making sure they concentrate on minority issues avoids them seeing the major threats.

@haveigotnews @VictoriaCoren @The_Real_JSP @chrismccausland @BBCiPlayer Not only are the BBC complicit in supporting genocide, but you think it's okay to make a joke off the back of live ethnic cleansing. Ironically, the downfall of Libya, also part of your joke, was one of the seven countries that Israel tasked America with destroying.

Sean's writing is delightful and evocative, conjuring vivid images of a rural Ireland on the brink of change, capturing with simplicity and charm a childhood rooted in the land, rich in history.

@Keir_Starmer Free speech in the UK?! Why are you arresting journalists reporting on Palestine, then, nor listening to the calls from the majority of the population ref. Palestine?

[PG @PaulaGood2]

@Keir_Starmer Hypocrite

[PG @PaulaGood2]

@Keir_Starmer @ZelenskyyUa No, we don't. So much false propaganda. Why are you war-mongering?

[PG @PaulaGood2]

@BBCTwo I cannot believe the intro to your programme tonight: "Israel withdraws from Gaza in 2005, opening the door for Hamas to seize control." You know lots of people don't do their own research, and this suggests Gaza is not occupied and that Hamas were not elected. Shameful.

An entirely mendacious message lay at the heart of this week’s coverage by the BBC of the 80th Holocaust Remembrance Day commemorations.

The British state broadcaster asserted throughout the day that the voices of the few remaining survivors of the Nazi extermination programme were still being heard “loud and clear” in western capitals. Those survivors – now in their 80s and 90s – warned that the genocide of a people must “never again” be allowed to take place.

As if to bolster its claim, the BBC showed western leaders – from Britain’s King Charles III, to Germany’s Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron of France – prominently in attendance at the main ceremony at Auschwitz, the most notorious of the death camps, where more than a million Jews, Roma and other stigmatised groups were burned in ovens.

As a counterpoint, the BBC highlighted the fact that Russian President Vladimir Putin had been excluded from the ceremony for ordering the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Steve Rosenberg, the corporation’s Moscow correspondent, underscored the irony that Russia, so visibly absent, was responsible for liberating Auschwitz on 27 January 1945 – the date that eventually came to be marked as Holocaust Remembrance Day.

But hanging over the proceedings - and the coverage – was a heavy cloud of unreality. Had those western leaders really heard the message of “never again”? Had media outlets like the BBC?

There was an unwanted ghost at the commemorations. In fact, tens of thousands of ghosts.

Those ghosts were the children shredded by US-supplied bombs; the children who slowly suffocated under the rubble of their destroyed homes; the children whose bodies were left to rot, picked apart by feral dogs, because snipers shot at anyone who tried to retrieve them; the children who starved to death because they were seen as “human animals”, denied all food and water; the homeless babies who froze to death in plunging winter temperatures; and the premature babies left to die in their incubators after soldiers invaded hospitals and cut off the power.

Those ghosts were every bit as present at the ceremony as the mountains of shoes and suitcases – separated forever from their owners – lining the corridors of the Auschwitz museum.

Western leaders were determined to look back at the crimes of the past, but not to look at the crimes of the present – crimes they have been so deeply complicit in perpetrating.

What could possibly be the rationale of killing at least 101 Palestinians, including 27 children, after agreeing to a ceasefire? Other than pure, undiluted misanthropy? https://t.co/9mwsF76s0o

Israel killed Hala and her entire family today by dropping a bomb on their home in Gaza—just after agreeing to a ceasefire.

Hala was a young doctor, devoted to saving lives.

She was not a combatant.

This is a crime against humanity.
