You too can commit genocide. The Israeli SSS, Sadistic Sicko Soldiers will tell you how. Start with the kids, they die easily and blow completely apart and then make sure you get the old, sick, crippled and take out the doctors and nurses and aid workers and journalists so there is nothing getting out. Destroy the hospitals, refuse food, clean water, medical aid and Bob's your uncle. If the weather is cold no blankets or coats and the babies should be exterminated by the dozens.

[First published by Declassified UK]There have been two stories deeply revealing – in starkly contrasting ways – of the West’s relationship to Israel’s industrialised, militarised slaughter of the people of Gaza over the past 15 months. Last week, Declassified UK carried out one of the fundamental duties of journalism. Its reporter Alex Morris sought to hold accountable a war crimes suspect evading justice. And not just any suspect.

It offends me that these billionaires force me to use their social media sites. We should pass a law that states that we cannot be forced to use X, Facebook, Instagram, etc., or even Substack. What sort of country would mandate that I read about Trump on Truth Social for hours each day. We can only hope that government officials will rescue us via the light hand of enlightened censorship to protect us from such abuse.

[First published by Middle East Eye]Israel knew that, if it could stop foreign correspondents from reporting directly from Gaza, those journalists would end up covering events in ways far more to its liking. They would hedge every report of a new Israeli atrocity – if they covered them at all – with a "Hamas claims" or "Gaza family members allege". Everything would be presented in terms of conflicting narratives rather than witnessed facts. Audiences would feel uncertain, hesitant, detached.

[First published by Middle East Eye]NOTE TO THOSE READING VIA EMAIL: This article may exceed the length that can be sent by Substack. In which case, please click on the headline and it will take you directly to the Substack article. Nearly a decade ago, a leading Israeli human rights activist divulged to me a private conversation he’d had a short time earlier with one of Europe’s ambassadors to Israel. He was shaken by the exchange.

The BBC no longer bothers to hide the fact that its news service acts as nothing more than the British state's willing propaganda channel. Last night on the News at Ten, Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen secured a rare interview with Hamas’s deputy political chief, Khalil al-Hayya.

[First published by Middle East Eye]The more Israel expands its war across the Middle East, the more the western media intensifies its war on our minds. Establishment media outlets like the BBC are weaponising the language of their reporting against audiences no less effectively than Israel weaponised primitive pieces of technology against the people of Lebanon. Thousands of Lebanese were maimed by exploding pagers and walkie-talkies last week.

1. At what point does it become irresponsible not to compare Israel’s slaughter of the Palestinian people with the genocide westerners know best: the Nazi Holocaust? 2. At what point does shielding Israel from the revulsion its actions naturally inspire not turn into complicity? 3.
