The west’s shameful silence on Gaza https://t.co/u0FcxQ881W | opinion

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The Israeli army attacked a convoy of Red Crescent ambulances.

They handcuffed the paramedics.

They executed them by shooting them in the head and chest.

Then they threw their bodies into a mass grave.

What. Does. It. Take.

Trump's plan for Gaza is for ethnic cleansing. Not 'resettlement' or 'displacement' or 'relocation' for crying out loud. Call this what it is: ethnic cleansing

Feel inspired by this - was finally diagnosed with endo a few months ago after 13 years debilitating period pain. Rajini is right - sharing a diagnosis means raising awareness of a condition so under-researched despite 1 in 10 women living with it.

Back in studio E this afternoon. I’ve been off for a bit as I had surgery which confirmed I have severe endometriosis. Next - to get rid of it. Sharing to raise awareness of the condition - took me over a decade (and checks in 3 continents) to finally get diagnosed this year.

As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic.

The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma.

Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now.

We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives.

Please support this crowdfunder I’ve started to support @we_level_up’s crucial work to train journalists in their Dignity For Dead Women guidelines.

SO pleased this is finally being spoken about - currently dealing with my own period issues and how that affects my playing. We need to start more conversations about this in classical music.

Really happy to have this feature in @thetimes today – it's about a subject we should all be less afraid of talking about. (1/2)

In Gaza, babies are born on the ground in the wilderness, umbilical cords cut with whatever sharp object there is to hand, and tins filled with hot water keep the newborn warm.
