“There are two ways to be fooled.
One is to believe what isn’t true;
the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” — Søren Kierkegaard (Works of Love, 1847)
The Independent Int'l Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory presents new report to the UN Human Rights Council.
"The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted & killed by the Israeli security forces."

I don’t understand this way of thinking. All military men know that you need to suppress the enemy’s fire first. All those drone launchers will be taken out before the armada sails. That’s the new artillery preparation.
the photo on the right is of a shop that was defaced for being jewish-owned
the photo on the left is an office that was defaced for being owned by a man who’s facilitated the murder of 20,000+ children
feels different to me
How about constitutionalism and respect for human rights, counsel? Can tortured, maimed, crippled, blinded and murdered people build and/or enjoy economic opportunities?
Those persistently scaremongering Kenyans and calling unarmed civilians “violent” or “chaotic” never ever shout about heavily armed police and murder squads who recklessly shoot peaceful protesters to death.
Stop normalizing state violence and thuggery. We must CRIMINALIZE excessive use of force or brutality by JAILING those responsible.
Kenyans have an absolute right to picket, protest, march and demonstrate peacefully! No ifs or buts!
Today the UN confirmed what we already know: Israel is committing genocide and deliberately targeting children.
DELIBERATELY KILLING CHILDREN
There should be wall-to-wall coverage, notifications, posts and outrage. But Israel is the perpetrator and the children are Palestinian.
“Israel says it’s outrageous propaganda…
…they say these children are used as human shields…”
A UN inquiry finds Israel is continuing its genocide in Gaza & deliberately targeting children.
The BBC reports the findings and Israel’s denials with equal weight.
Israel's leaders are openly talking about land expansion and occupation.They openly talk about controlling media and owning platforms; IDF soldiers are filming themselves committing atrocities and celebrating their grotesque actions; settler terrorists are unleashing their brutality in full view of Israeli police; people who criticize Israel in every part of the world are arrested, hounded out of jobs and education opportunities; You want "peace and quiet?" You will NEVER have it. We will NEVER gift you our silence. And we are not afraid of you either.
“The pro-Israel side had 1 hour and 9 minutes to put forward their pro-Israel views.
The anti-Israel side had 15 minutes only to put forward their anti-Israel views.”
So will BBC presenters now attach this context every time Gaza is discussed? Will they stop interrupting guests for using the word genocide?
Of course not. That would help inform the audience.
The BBC's priority is managing the narrative, not clarifying it.
No mention of reports by numerous organisations and medics and even the NYT of Israeli soldiers deliberately targeting children but this Reuters journalist of course finds time to remind us at least 3 times of what Israel says.
