‘The killings have mercifully stopped in Gaza, but there must now be a refusal to normalise what will follow – a return to a status quo in which we all keep on pretending that Palestinian life is viable under the authority of Israel.’ https://t.co/24MYPUMaJ1

Israel has moved on from wearing Palestinian skin. They want to be the new America. They want to rule the world. They want to use an American moment of pain, which they likely engineered themselves, to torch the world like America did.

Israel is just nothing. It’s an empty shell, without a soul, without human essence, without a culture, without a past, untethered to the land, untethered to humanity, untethered to morality.

They just have weapons. So many weapons, so many death machines, so much death technology. Cold metal and digital code. No heart, no history, no culture, no songs, no trees or food of their own. No conscience.

So all they can do is kill, and kill and kill and kill. They are the destroyers of life. The destroyers of hope. destroyers. Full stop.

What a sad, pathetic, loathsome, and tragic people.

@fieldinghope Incredible programming, Fielding. Enjoy the last two weeks!

Two important things people need to understand:

1. We don’t have a media. We have a propaganda system

2. We don’t have a democracy. We have an oligarchy with some democratic furnishings

Good news is more people get it than ever. Gaza has exposed everything

[Nesrine Malik @NesrineMalik]

Instead of ejecting Gaza from domestic politics, Israel’s allies have brought the war home.

Like his predecessor, Keir Starmer has been relying chiefly on the BBC – the state broadcaster and main news source for most Britons – to keep the public largely ignorant, both of the fact that a genocide is taking place in Gaza and of his complicity in it.

The BBC’s role has been to normalise genocide by recharacterising it as a “war” between Israel and Hamas. Israel’s carpet bombing of Gaza, the mass slaughter of Palestinians, and the starvation of the entire population have been implicitly treated as a “counter-terrorism” operation.

The aim was to gradually dissipate interest in the Gaza protests, shrinking the size of the demonstrations and leaving only a hard core of committed activists out on the streets.

Initially, the BBC kept the focus on the suffering of Israelis in the aftermath of the Hamas attack, and on the plight of Israeli hostages held in Gaza – even as tens of thousands of Palestinians in the enclave were killed and maimed, and its hospitals, schools, universities, libraries, mosques, churches and bakeries were levelled.

Then, as the genocide rolled on and selling it became harder, the BBC largely drew a veil over what was taking place. It minimised its reporting to the point where the horrors unfolding in Gaza were excluded from the main TV news for days or even weeks at a time.

A growing number of BBC journalists have come forward as whistleblowers. They have cited severe top-down pressure at the corporation to slant reporting in Israel’s favour.

Even now, as the first stage of a shaky ceasefire was implemented last Sunday, the BBC’s focus once again reverted to the Israeli hostages, and the release of three to their families. Each has been humanised by the western media, their stories and photographs shared widely.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian women and children they have been “swapped” for are barely visible. They are referred to prejudicially as “prisoners”. But like thousands of other Palestinians held in Israeli “prisons”, many were seized from their homes in the middle of the night by armed soldiers enforcing an illegal occupation. Many have been held for lengthy periods without charge or trial.

Even as the exchanges were taking place, Israel was abducting more Palestinians, including children, to fill its “prisons”, which Israeli human rights groups describe as “torture camps”.

All of this was reason enough for the organisers to select the BBC as the site for last weekend’s demonstration. The point was to protest its coverage and editorial complicity in Israel’s genocide.

The media’s biased reporting has given licence to the British government to back Israel’s genocide. And the same flawed coverage will give Israel licence to violate the ceasefire, as it is already doing, or to reimpose the inhuman, 16-year siege of Gaza that preceded the genocide and led to Hamas’ attack on 7 October 2023.

But as the demonstrations have shown no signs of abating, the Starmer government has grown more desperate. The BBC has failed to normalise the genocide, and British complicity has not been completely shrouded.

Starmer thus needed a new strategy for bringing to an end the rallies that have been embarrassing him. If the British public can’t be brainwashed into accepting genocide, then they will have to be scared off the streets. The velvet glove of the BBC has been swapped for the Met’s iron first.

This is an extract from my latest article How Starmer and the Met have joined forces to quash all dissent. Read more here: https://t.co/4RamY1yG3Y

@BarackObama @JoeBiden You forgot the genocide bit.

[Nesrine Malik @NesrineMalik]

By refusing even to accept the designations of genocide and ethnic cleansing, let alone act upon them, Israel’s allies force an adaptation on to the world after which it simply becomes accepted that rights are not bestowed by humanity, but by the parties who decide who is human.

@Channel4News This is the most incredible industrial scale gaslighting operation to defend the Maccabi hooligans - US, Canadian and UK governments, mainstream media across the board. Feels like it is worse than ever today.

‘Ethnic cleansing is upon the residents of Gaza. And it is now clear that the powers that let it get this far cannot be reasoned with or shamed, they can only be rebelled against.’

After the riots, Keir Starmer should tell us the truth about our country. This is what he should say, and why he won't say it.
