So @pressfreedom, if having “participated in combat” (your words) at any given point in time is grounds for revoking a journalist’s status, why doesn’t that apply to Israeli journalists who fought in the Israeli military or still serve in its reserves? What’s your excuse?
EXCLUSIVE: U.S. officials believed Israel was plotting to kill Iran's top negotiators Gen. Ghalibaf and foreign minister Araghchi as Tehran and Washington were negotiationg. Assassinating them would derail peace talks. w/ @julianbarnes

🚨🇬🇧 SUDAN | The UK Parliament’s International Development Committee has published a September 2025 memo in which Yale war crimes investigator Nathaniel Raymond warned the British government that El Fasher’s fall was imminent, one month before the RSF stormed the city and killed at least 60,000 people.
💢 The memo, sent to the Foreign Office via the UK’s UN delegation, told officials that “if you think that there is other political maneuver space before midnight that time is up and those options no longer exist.”
💢 It urged an immediate public rebuke of the UAE over its support for the RSF, contingency planning for a mass killing scenario inside El Fasher, and protection plans for civilians fleeing on foot, noting the RSF was targeting congregations of people with drones.
💢 The UK government took none of these steps. Raymond testified last week that the Foreign Office prioritized its relations with the UAE over preventing the slaughter, as up to 500,000 civilians now face similar atrocities in El Obeid.

Russia is banned from international football competitions but "israel" continues to be welcomed by FIFA and UEFA. This is a massive scandal that persists while Palestinians continue to be slaughtered.
Since we’re back on this subject, another reminder:
No Palestinian journalist has ever been filmed literally blowing up civilian homes while on the job. Can’t say the same for Israeli journalists.
The @pressfreedom CPJ, which has already stopped listing the year’s top journalist-killing countries because Israel was shaping up for a hall-of-fame-worthy multi-year winning streak (can’t let that happen!) just kicked off a board member for - you’ll never believe this- *asking for a vote* (can’t have that!) on whether CPJ should go ahead with its decision to stop counting journalists Israel murders just because Israel trust-me-bros that they’re actually terrorists.
If anyone bothered to look at history beyond the headlines, and really examined the substance of the so‑called 'peace process' since Gunnar Hjarrings UN mission in the early 70s, they would see that this has in fact been the consistent Israeli position across the political spectrum. At best, Palestinians have been presented with the distant prospect of a non‑contiguous rump entity without sovereignty.
