Published today:

'Complicit' by Peter Oborne is a damning account of the culpability of British politics and media in the Gaza genocide.

Unmissable.

It is outrageous that parliamentary authorities have rejected @declassifieduk.org’s application for a press pass.

This is a flagrant attempt to suppress investigative journalism.

I have tabled an EDM urging the authorities to reverse this decision.

Reversing The Truth – The Gaza β€˜Ceasefire’ And British Complicity In Genocide We live in a time when truth is reversed in plain sight.

"Just imagine if Palestine had razed the whole of Israel to the ground, killing 100,000s, injuring and traumatising literally millions – and the BBC made the return of 20 Palestinian captives their continuous, highest profile focus."

Compare and contrast:

The Red Cross say it'll be a "massive challenge" to find the graves of the last Israeli captives under mountains of rubble from Israel's levelling of Gaza.

Having created a near-impossible task for Hamas, Israel's using it to justify keeping up its genocidal starvation campaign.

It's revealing the importance being placed on Hamas returning the bodies of Israeli captives.

And yet no one cared about Israel's decades-long refusal to hand back many hundreds of bodies of Palestinians it was holding.

Did their families not need a grave to grieve over?

Jeremy Bowen:

β€˜...Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank who are fed up with war.’

β€˜Fed up with war’?

What a crass choice of words from Bowen.

The surviving Palestinians are deeply traumatised by the *genocide* that Israel has been inflicting on them.

The Guardian joins the chorus pretending a Gaza peace deal was possible because of Trump's "juggernaut" personality.

The truth: without US weapons, Israel would have been unable to wreck Gaza and commit a genocide.

The US could have stopped this from day one, had it wished to.

The title, from @medialens.bsky.social, is powerful.

It can be applied generally on most topics. "He says, she says" is not journalism. "False balancing" amplifies extreme voices disproportionately when not challenged. An avenue for propaganda.

Two years on, will Israel and Hamas seize the chance to end the war? There is a chance of a deal that will end the killing and destruction in Gaza and return the Israeli hostages, living and dead, to their families.

Jeremy Bowen:

'a century of conflict between Arabs and Jews’

This is a prime example of how BBC News misinforms audiences.

Not a word about Israel being a western settler-colonial state.

Israel has always been an outpost of Western imperial power.

Palestinian civilians are being slaughtered by Israel's F-35 jets.

Britain is supplying crucial components for those murderous fighter jets.

I asked Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper about them.

She refused to answer.
