War Journalists have been accepting these risks to enter warzones for as long as there have been such a thing as war journalists.

Accepting those risks is part of the profession. I fail to see why this is a special, unique case of extra-super danger. They were in danger in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria, in Afghanistan, in Vietnam, in Berlin, and so on.

What it strikes me as, is an excuse. And frankly, a poor one - and because it’s so contirved, it adds to the perception very broadly held that Israel doesn’t want us to see what’s really going on there. Because it would confirm the flood of videos and pictures and eyewitness accounts were depicting the horror of the situation accurately.

Enough time has passed since October 7 for Israeli media to state what we’ve been saying for over three months, which is that Israel’s military and political leadership fabricated many of the grisliest Hamas atrocities in order to generate support for the genocidal war it planned in Gaza. Here, a Channel 13 panel including Mickey Rosenfeld, the longtime Israeli police spokesman who spread many such lies after October 7, acknowledges that lurid stories of babies hung on clotheslines, a fetus cut from a pregnant woman, a baby baked in an oven, and more were invented “to increase the magnitude of hatred for Hamas.” As Rosenfeld put it, “The war is not only military, not only political, it’s mainly media.”

Channel 13 manages to elicit a statement of contrition from the IDF spokesman, who apologizes for “describ[ing] a reality that didn’t happen.” Of course, confessions like these are easy when the damage has already been done.

Remarkable. An Israeli TV host & his 3 Israeli guests discuss, dissect, and debunk some of the awful lies that were told about what happened on Oct 7th (beheaded babies, etc) live on Israeli TV. 👇🏽

Can you imagine a similar discussion on U.S. or UK TV?

[Kalām @KalamPhilos]

Something i really dislike about this app is how we see many muslims fighting one another ruthlessly with the most vile of expressions, whether it is called "an extremist wahabi salafi" or a "secular liberal".
Brothers, we already have a very hard battle to fight in defense of...

@shadihamid Brilliant! Loved your analysis!

@afuahirsch @SuellaBraverman more than that it's also about caste, sunak patel cruella all reps of oppressor castes that historically colluded extensively to enable british colonialism and still do to maintain their supremacy. british politics needs a serious analysis from a caste apartheid perspective.

[Afua Hirsch @afuahirsch]

I remember having to explain that not only are brown ppl capable of racism, but colonialism gave many a deep self loathing, which was then weaponised against other brown ppl

To @SuellaBraverman
For educating an entire nation on what this looks like

thank you for your service

Being born in a certain faith, nation or tribe does not automatically make you God’s chosen one.

God’s chosen people are those who have a deep sense of empathy for God’s creation - irrespective of flag, faith, race or nation.

Be these selfless souls & you will find God. 🙏🏼✊🏼

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let the arms cease. Stop, brothers and sisters: war is always a defeat — always, always!

[Rob @robrousseau]

it's so utterly enraging seeing the exact same Iraq cheerleaders in the media who suffered no consequences and failed upwards for 20 years now repeating all the exact same lies and petty moralistic smears to justify another round of inhuman violence and destruction

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

I was upset when I saw that Israel has killed seven thousand people in its Gaza bombing campaign but then a really smart Israel apologist told me Hamas might be exaggerating those numbers and maybe it's more like four thousand, so now I think it's fine.

[Tariq Ali @TariqAli_News]

Here’s an example of how it could be ended. In 1957 Israel occupied Gaza. The US president, General Eisenhower, ordered: “I want you out of Gaza.” and then said, “if you don’t get out of Gaza, we will impose sanctions against Israel”. The Israelis left.
them."

[Kashif Chaudhry @KashifMD]

Seeing this new generation of Jewish Americans rally in support of Palestine is awe-inspiring.

I wonder if young Pakistani Sunnis will one day rally for fellow Ahmadis back home.

Its easy to speak for your own group. The test of morality is if you chose to stand up for others.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Just so we have it clear: the Israelis have & continue to issue warnings about bombing hospitals, have bombed hospitals and we have the former PM saying Israel is determined to destroy Al-Shifa hospital.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Have you ever heard of Hamas or Hezbollah asking YouTube and Facebook to remove videos they don't like?

Israel are so insecure, and aware that their own behavior is criminal, that they censor journalists and critics all over the world— and then pretend they're a democracy. Lmao

[Clare Daly @ClareDalyIRL]

A historic crime is unfolding in Gaza & the EU is in it up to its neck. MEPs sit & watch the slaughter & cannot even condemn it, calling it a "humanitarian crisis," as if it was caused by the weather.

Infamy. EU will never live down the shame of today's resolution. #LongLiveGaza

I am Muslim in Britain, and I serve as a CFD engineer. I have helped multiple British companies in inventing new technologies ranging from automotive, oil and gas, and chemical process.

My PhD was sponsored by a British company and I even discovered a new physics formulation...
