“HOW MAINSTREAM MEDIA IGNORES UK MILITARY SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL: Britain does much more than simply sell weapons to Israel, but you wouldn’t know it from watching the BBC.”
“But there’s another side to the problem of the media: the stories that are not covered and the uncomfortable truths (for Israel and its supporters) that are not acknowledged.
This is particularly the case when it comes to the issue of how the UK military has contributed to Israel’s assault on Gaza.”
[..]
“The failure of the mainstream media to address the genocide in Gaza is all too clear when looking at the euphemistic language they use and the sources they highlight.
But we also have to look beneath the surface: to the stories that the media choose not to pursue because that would draw attention to the complicity of all those at the heart of the British establishment who have helped to facilitate the war crimes currently taking place in Gaza.”
Why there are no reporters in Europe like him any more?
They all have turned into cowards at best or genocide supporters at worst. The disgusting dirty and disgusting atmosphere created by Israeli supporters and right wing media owners not to forget the sold out politicians and indifferent public (on top of racism and islamophobia) have created a vaccume of strong, knowledgeable and brave reporters who are not afraid of telling the truth.
With Robert Fisk gone, The independent have also turned into a echo chamber of pro Israeli voices. German and Swedish media are not even worth reading any more and I get better news from Israeli media criticizing the fascist regime of Netanyahu than any of the so called progressives and liberals in those countries.
@faab64@palestine@israel Agreed. It’s rough when Haaretz is the most reliable not jumped-off-the-deep-end reporting of MSM on #idf etc. In US Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez with Democracy Now and the entire staff seem to have rather good contacts around the world, used to talk with RF, and these contacts have blogs or posts in diverse sites. It’s not as easy to get information as BE (before Elon)on dead bird site. I cancelled one online US news subscription 6.08.
@odaraia@faab64@palestine@israel We can also see how effective the torture, persecution and defamation of Julian Assange has been in getting obedience from the mass media. The MSM supported this.
The capitalist classes knows how weak they are. In this breakdown of the profit system they will show all their cunning and ruthlessness.
Workers, students and youth have to fund, support and build their own media in the struggle for power.
The Israeli far-right government has circumvented Israeli laws to facilitate the closure and ban of any journalistic institution that exposes the atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation army in Gaza. Extremist ministers are also pushing for the expansion of this law to include the occupied West Bank.
Do not expect anything other than possibly some empty words from the "world leaders" against these outrageous fascist rules in the "only democracy in the middle east".
Right wing Israeli media now accuse #Biden of being 'antisemitic' for giving the the speech on a Saturday, the Shabbat (rest day) for Jews, because #Netanyahu and his allies cannot respond to the speech for the next 24 hours
Hey, Americans, just shot up and send another $10B check to Israel plus 100s of cargo planes full of weapons.
What I see here is accusation that he is "coward". Well, this coalition keeps trying to force the Shabbat on all of Israelies and claim that it is a good thing (see deputy minister Makleb's words recently). Well, either do work at Shabbat or shut up. You can't force the whole world.
Going through my social media, it seems like Gaza doesn't even exist.
It's all about student protests and police brutality in US.
In the mean time, the stories of Maas Graves, mass execution of healthcare staff and mutilated bodies of palestinians in Khan Yunis have all but disappeared from the news.
No news about starvation.
No news about murder of aid workers by IDF.
No news of bombing tent cities with fire bombs.
No news of Netanyahu ignoring the peace proposal.
No news that Biden keep sending weapons and money to Netanyahu.
I guess it's good that we see the student protests are spreading, but it should not be forgetting WHY they are protesting and what over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza are forced to live every day.
@faab64
Personally i feel its because some of the protesters are there just for themselves and others wanting to feel better by thinking their group is helping.
Change do to protests takes years. History is clear on this.
So please march, Hold up signs, Hold speeches and Write your politician.
Just don't scare off the people you need to convince by doing big acts, thinking one act will stop it all. @palestine@israel
Imagine the outcrywif this was published by a western media.
It's sickening to see ww are under such amazing censorship that ww can't even publish articles from Israeli media.
Re-publishing this would be a suicide by any European or American media, not just because of its content, but also the fact it portrays IDF as what they really are.
“A recent article in The Times of London, along with UN reports and investigative journalism in independent media, has been undermining Israel’s allegations of an ordered mass rape campaign on October 7. Meanwhile, evidence of mass sexual violence against Palestinians continues to mount.”
