Freedom: just around the corner for you; but with truth so far off, what good will it do?

Every interviewee needs to push back against any BBC presenter who interjects with 'Israel denies' or 'Israel says'. Is @vicderbyshire, and all the other BBC presenters, not ashamed to blindly follow orders from senior BBC management to make such a robotic statement? This behaviour, maintained throughout the three years of the genocide, only ever applies to Israel. BBC presenters never interject on behalf of an Official Enemy with 'Russia says' or 'Iran says'. As @FranceskAlbs has noted, the BBC is part of the killing machinery that perpetrates the genocide of Palestinians.
“No more military aid to the extremist government in Israel… what they’ve done to the Palestinians is genocidal…” Bernie Sanders tells BBC Newsnight. The presenter is quick to interject that “the Israeli government would deny they’re extremist…” Why are we still doing this?

It's a complete mystery why @BBCNews appears to have blanked this UN report which is utterly damning of the BBC and Western media. They have all 'facilitated genocide'. === Albanese found that Western ­media “camouflaged” Israeli ­responsibility in headlines, with the BBC most ­criticised for this, having been found to do so in 83% of its headlines, ­according to media analysis. The “striking example” provided in the report was of Hind Rajab. Five-year-old Hind Rajab was killed alongside her family while attempting to flee Gaza City two years ago. The car they were in was found riddled with 335 bullet holes from rounds fired by Israeli military personnel. The BBC headline still reads: “Hind Rajab,5, found dead in Gaza days ­after phone calls for help.” archive.ph/Ezjnh Report from @ScotNational

It's quite remarkable that Man City, having been found guilty of a decade of cheating on an industrial scale, can nevertheless continue operating and competing in the Premier League this season with the fruits of that cheating. There is no sporting integrity to the situation.

Google Earth updated the images of Gaza. It's devastating.

Tech bros telling you the world is ending: mass coverage and widespread media alarm. Scientists telling you the world is ending: very few front pages and broadcasters telling you they’re wrong. #AI #climate

We've listened to these people call us Jew haters for three years because we opposed Israel's mass slaughter of children in Gaza. Now they claim the moral high ground by denouncing Israel's ethnic cleansing of the West Bank. Marr's right to do so – but he's an utter charlatan.

These are the twats who introduced the European Super League by stealth - they just call it the Champions League hoping nobody will notice. Fuck UEFA and fuck FIFA.

Slow golf clap for @andyburnham who spoke bombastically about cutting VAT on electricity bills and capping bus fares to save people money - then allowed US military to use UK bases for their war of aggression against Iran, and in so-doing helped create the spike in oil prices. 😂

Same establishment-friendly, short-sighted, imperialist mindset Prime Minister as before. Good Evertonian, I hear.

We are devastated to learn of the passing of Kevin Keegan, one of the most iconic, influential and deeply loved figures in our club’s history. Kevin was more than a legendary footballer and manager. He was the beating heart of Newcastle United for generations of supporters.

The oligarchy is all set. Its candidate has condoned everything required: nuclear arms, the US, Nato, Israel, arms industry. The system requires no election. It's all perfectly normal.
Burnham outlines no change from Starmer in UK military policy. He praises nuclear arms, "reindustrialisation through defence" & the US alliance. He says, after years of backing genocide: "This Labour government has proved once again that UK leadership can be a force for good in the world".

This is properly insane: quite literally the worst example of censorship I've ever heard of anywhere. I checked the actual ruling (which you can see here: courthousenews.com/wp-conten…) and, to be clear, it isn't just censorship in the conventional sense - blocking access to a website or removing content from platforms - this is the criminalization of information relayed by private citizens, with prison sentences attached. And the most insane aspect if that it does NOT matter if the information relayed is accurate or not. It just matters that it originates from RT or other media outlets banned in the EU. In other words, truth isn't a defense anymore in the EU, it literally doesn't matter. It's purely based on the identity of the speaker. The ruling is actually explicit about this: the regulation, quoted by the Court says that the prohibition applies to "any content," and they draw no distinction based on what the content actually says. If it originates from banned outlets, it's banned. It is, quite simply, a complete unraveling of the entire post-Enlightenment legal and philosophical project where entire generations of Europeans fought to move from "who says it" to "is it true" as the operative question. Think about the absurdity of it: if RT publishes a video saying the sky is blue and you share it on a publicly accessible website in the EU, you'd fall within the scope of this ruling, making you liable to criminal prosecution. Completely and utterly absurd. But that's the EU today for you 🤷
El Tribunal de Justicia de la UE ha autorizado el enjuiciamiento penal en los países de la UE de las personas que publiquen vídeos de Russia Today en canales y sitios web abiertos.

It took a little longer than expected, but we have created a website for people to view the footage collected from Gaza in one place. You no longer have to download the entire archives to see them. It includes: 64,537 videos 17,905 photos Ability to download individual videos Searchable index Exhaustive sources list (300+ journalists) Geolocation data Livemap with minute to minute updates Victim list It can be accessed here: ArchiveGenocide.com Please share & quote tweet to help this post break out of the twitter algorithm prison. We will keep adding the rest of the archives to the site, be patient- it is difficult work. Continue to seed the torrents provided, as that is the best way to ensure the footage remains stored in decentalized way. God bless all those who sacrificed their lives to get this footage out, and everyone invovled in collecting/archiving it.

He says “up the RA” for £86 …imagine what he’d do for £5m.

Not one MSM account of his premiership—left, centre, right—will mention his participation in genocide Propaganda by omission is how they brainwash Those who write the history books do same thing The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting

That Starmer (pettily) called Corbyn's Labour "immoral" in his speech is astounding. From the man who led a party that backed a genocide, proscribed a direct action group, arrested pensioners, demonised immigrants, cut disability benefits and more. What planet do they live on?

Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country. Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza. That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind. The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.

One headline can tell you so much about propaganda. The BBC can easily report that Crimea is "occupied", but not Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, etc. That's just one way they frame conflicts and cue readers to feel a certain way about things.
