Not sure where this came from, but it’s where we’re at.

A cartoon depicts a young girl asking her father about people starving in Gaza, and he responds by telling her to be quiet, labeling the question as antisemitic.

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.

“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.

Woken at 1 am by the sicky sweet smell of petrol wafting in through our open bedroom window.

(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.

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…?

Israel broke the terms of the ceasefire agreement and have now resumed their genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Pure fucking evil, which the US is paying for and arming, and for which the UK is providing intelligence.

📺 Secret State (2012) - ★★★★☆

Inspired by the book, this is a very different take on A Very British Coup. I enjoyed the gritty reality of 80s’ Harry Perkins, but the New Labour version with “Tom Dawkins” was so well done it made me want to throw up (in the scene-setting first episode, at any rate). Second and third episodes were much better and looking forward to the finale tonight. Featuring Gina McKee from Our Friends Up North in a strong cast.
