so instead of showing the world cup opening ceremony i expect the bbc crew to give everyone watching a lecture about ethics and human rights like they did in 2022
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Renowned Director Ken Loach Delivers Powerful Words at Cannes on Israel's Genocide in Gaza
"The worst thing is not the violence of the bad, it is the silence of the good.
Yes, the Ben-Gvir video is disgraceful. But that's not the issue. The (obvious) issue is that if that's how nonviolent European protesters are treated in public, any person with a brain can imagine how Palestinians are treated behind closed doors. *That* is the real scandal.
Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.
Hannah Einbinder says Hollywood not speaking out in support of Palestine "pisses me off" and they "need these issues to affect a white person for them" to care.
“I look at these people who have absolutely every privilege imaginable to mankind and they cannot utter a single word. I really can’t understand it... People in Hollywood, unfortunately, need these issues to affect a white person for them to see it as relating to them,” she noted. “Like, they see Jimmy Kimmel getting taken off the air suddenly, they see Stephen Colbert’s show being canceled by CBS, which is owned by the Ellisons, and they go, ‘How could this possibly happen?’ And it’s like, we know how because we saw students and professors and journalists and authors and Palestinian folks be silenced and fired and expelled and imprisoned… it took it happening to these white men for people to be like, ‘Oh my god.’”

#Cannes jury member Paul Laverty says "shame on Hollywood" for blacklisting actors like Susan Sarandon for opposing the war in Gaza.
“Cannes has a wonderful poster [of 'Thelma and Louise']. Isn’t it fascinating to see some of them like Susan Sarandon, Javier Bardem and Mark Ruffalo blacklisted because of their views in opposing the murder of women and children in Gaza? Shame on Hollywood people who do that. My respect and total solidarity to them. They’re the best of us, I look up to them."
