It's because in Robin Hood and Star Wars the storyteller is sympathetic to the rebel characters while the pundits, editors and reporters who tell the stories of our time are sympathetic to those in power. David Attenborough can get you cheering for the seal or for the polar bear depending on whose journey is being followed as a sympathetic protagonist. The narrators in our stories are those who control the narrative.
Ok - but you should 100% give a sh1t about the adults in Gaza too!
What a strange thing to say that you couldn’t give a sh!t about the adults, a huge amount of whom are the parents of the kids you care about ❤️🖤🤍💚
Scottish actor Brian Cox condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza during BBC Scotland’s Debate Night, calling it “genocide.”
His comments add to growing international voices demanding accountability and justice.
As the Madleen was reportedly intercepted and seized by Israeli forces in int'l waters, the UK gov must urgently seek full clarification and secure the immediate release of the vessel & its crew.
The Madleen must be allowed to continue its lawful humanitarian mission to Gaza.
My close friend is on this boat. I can’t describe how terrified I am for this crew, but I’m reminded this fear is a daily experience for Palestinians. Demand safety for the Madleen crew and never let anything distract you from the heart of this mission: to free Palestine.

I’m waiting for a news outlet to point out Israel has no right to be in the territorial waters round Gaza in first place. The sea round Gaza is Palestinian territory, Israel has no right to even enter it. Anyone? No, media just takes it for granted Israel can do as it pleases.
Remember as you watch hospital patients and children being burned alive after Israel fired missiles into tents at a hospital, that Kamala Harris has repeatedly assured you that her support for Israel is "iron-clad" and she will never stop providing Israel with weapons of genocide
“Hi, everyone. It’s Bisan from Gaza and I’m still alive!”
Fuck each and every one of the 150+ “celebrities” who tried to reverse Palestinian journalist Bisan’s Emmy nomination for documenting 10 months (so far) of surviving genocide https://t.co/JK4gXbJQpA
A globally known journalist comes to Ireland and there is very very little coverage, especially from the national broadcaster. That is baffling.
@rtenews did you reach out for an interview? If not, please advise why not?

Massive respect to Natasha O’Brien for speaking out. Cathal Crotty should be in jail. And the criminal justice system needs to change now. These judges who make such terrible decisions should be removed as they are not fit for the positions they hold.
"(He) held me like a punching bag almost... until I eventually fell to the ground."
Natasha O'Brien describes how her attacker, Cathal Crotty (22), didn't stop and she feared she would die.

Leaked video from 2001 where Benjamin Netanyahu speaks of striking Palestinians *painfully* the force applied will reverberate for generations.
Netanyahu says the Americans are gullible and easily manoeuvred, and 80% will support his violent actions…
Netanyahu also admits he deceived the US to undermine the Oslo Accords. The Accords, signed in 1993 and 1995, were intended to establish a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
