Interesting the way this story is framed as if award-winning BBC journalist Jeremy Bowen has committed a heinous crime, associating what he has consistently reported with the ludicrously banned documentary Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone.

Big houseboat.

A canal path lined with potted plants runs alongside moored boats, with a sign for the Grand Union Canal in Southall visible on the right.

What a load of rubbish.

A polluted canal is filled with debris and surrounded by trees and buildings.

Yesterday’s cormorant.

A bird is swimming in a body of water surrounded by lush greenery on the edge.

“One night, I opened my front door to such a strong gas smell I actually thought someone was trying to gas me and I rang the police”.

More on wtf and why.

Finished reading: The Son and Heir by Alexander Munninghoff 📚

Not a page turner by any means although it kept drawing me back in until the end. A true life story of very difficult family relationships centred on the author, his self-centred Nazi and all-round failure of a father, and his father’s father “the old boss”, who was a British spy, one of many strings to his bow.

(From the quoted article)

As US lawyer Dylan Williams notes:

This Netanyahu quote reported by an Israeli outlet constitutes prima facie evidence of:

  1. the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against a civilian population; and.
  1. intent to kill to destroy, in part, a national or ethnic group—elements of the crime of genocide.
This smoking guns proves Netanyahu's genocidal intent.

It's been reported in the Israeli media - but not in the wider Western media.

Hey @manton, any chance you can look at this when you have a moment, please?

[@help](https://micro.blog/help) my blog doesn't seem to have updated since March 20th. I can't see any errors in the logs. Just did a full rebuild as well, but it makes no difference. Any ideas?

The invasion destroyed their hopes that Russia might become a normal, non-violent country.

A normal, non-violent country like the USA, the UK, Israel, France, Germany…?
