The winner of Nobel peace prize doing what the Government of the United Kingdom will not do: calling Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide.
"The last thing I did is the report on Gaza naming what is happening there as genocide. One of the main reactions to that report [was] paying tribute to me for my courage.. why would you need courage to speak the truth?"

The BBC is determined to ask every supporter of Zionism if Zionism is racism. Unfortunately it can't ask the victims of Zionism because they were all killed by Israel.

You'll note that the very same people who insist Zionism means different things to different people will also insist that the USSR was the only possible expression of socialism.

Imagine. We've seen THREE years of killing, maiming, and destruction by a nation-state that represents the full expression of Zionism.
And somehow calling that 'racism' is the problem.

We are allowing US planes to take off from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire to bomb Iran as part of an illegal war. I'd say that was more than just wishing them harm, wouldn't you?

There is a genuine incomprehension amongst many journalists and politicians that anyone might care sincerely about Palestinians or seriously object to their indiscriminate slaughter. The natural human response to this genocide is something they simply cannot understand.
BBC Host: "Zacks talked a lot about Gaza. Thats not a local issue is it. Thats not going to improve peoples lives there"
Saying that genocide is bad & we shouldn't be funding, arming or supporting the regime doing it. What a terrible person! How dare he, right?

Great to hear the PM say “We are going to be much prouder in standing up for our values and the rule of law” re foreign information warfare. I wonder if he or the Home Secretary might consider doing the same when it comes to masked vigilantes shutting down infrastructure and harassing the RNLI

Saudi Arabia is a murderous dictatorship.
It is guilty of heinous war crimes in Yemen.
Years ago, I went to a Yemeni refugee camp.
I met little kids who drew pictures of what Saudi bombs did to their loved ones.
