Peter Oborne (@OborneTweets) confronts Richard Burgess, the BBC's Executive News Editor, about their coverage of the Gaza genocide and the data revealed by @cfmmuk at the Houses of Parliament.
Burgess's response: "I'm not an expert on the Middle East".
Speaking in front of the House of Commons on Tuesday, Conservative MP Mark Pritchard condemned Israel for its actions in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
“I have supported Israel, pretty much at all costs,” said Pritchard. “But today, I want to say that I got it wrong,” he added.
A fringe group claimed responsibility. Pakistan said they had nothing to do with it. Why wage war and make people who are like brothers and sisters- look the same and eat the same food , wear same clothes suffer?
I hope that we can all see beyond the warmongers agenda
I condemn the horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam — but no conclusive evidence has been presented linking Pakistan.
India’s unprovoked strike on Pakistan is a violation of international law.
With both being nuclear powers, this is reckless & a grave threat to regional peace.
Israeli occupation troops in Gaza found a Jewish cemetery for soldiers killed in WW1, maintained in pristine condition in the "Hamas-run Gaza". And they proudly posted photo-ops in front of it without even realizing it undermines their main propaganda about Hamas
WAKE UP, People.
Today, Palestine is a REVEALER of the system we live in. Not long ago, European Jews were genocided in 'civilized' Europe, under everyone's eyes: they were "unseen", and not many seemed to care. Today, millions of people "see" and are trying to stop Israel's genocide - protesting, seeking accountability - invoking the very legal framework that was crafted after the Holocaust to ensure "never again". But, from the US to Europe, they are either ignored or harshly punished.
Far too many states are enabling the genocide of the Palestinians, while turning also repressive toward their own citizens. This is both revolting and scary. We must stop it now.
The link between the daily inhumanity being metted out to Palestinians and rising Islamophobia in the UK, are not unconnected.
The inhumanity being shown to one is giving ‘permission’ for the other.
These actions diminish us all.
Watch the Israeli government defend 9 IDF soldiers who raped a detained Palestinian
&
argue that they have the right to abuse and rape the Palestinians they detain.
The oppression and abuse of the Palestinians is aided and abetted by their leaders.
Life peer Lord Pearson appears to have promoted something akin to the Great Replacement Theory in the House of Lords. It’s an idea adopted by far-right politicians & white nationalists in Europe. Lord Pearson, an ex-UKIP leader, was first appointed to HoL in 1990
A follower @LindaEnfield has just highlighted this @hopenothate report that claims Lord Pearson and other senior politicians are part of an undeclared organisation with links to Tommy Robinson.

@OwenJones84 I keep seeing, wealth can't be created overnight, we can't keep spending. Children in poverty can't wait until Labour create that imaginary wealth. Also, there's more money for weapons than to actual help people who are struggling. Awful.
