Why is @BBCNews using a pristine file picture of Al Shifa Hospital to report Israeli army’s withdrawal and repeating Israel’s false claims of a ‘precision operation’? The horrific images of the actual scene reveal how shameful their ‘reporting’ is.

Yet another example of how media outlets like @guardian are feeding into the dehumanisation of Palestinians.
Only Israeli minors are "children".Palestinian minors are "people aged 18 & younger". This is NOT a mistake; it's a premeditated carefully worded editorial decision!. Dehumanization is the root of all cruelty, & Western media has been at the forefront of it since Oct 7!

Shocking to think children in Palestine are still being killed 20 years after Tom Hurndall was shot in the head while trying to rescue a child. Thinking of the Hurndall family today and of the families of all the children who have been killed by Israeli forces over the years.
20 years ago today, Tom Hurndall was shot in the head while trying to rescue a small child in Gaza. He lay in a coma until his passing on 13 January 2004. Tom was a brave humanitarian and is an enduring inspiration for us, as is his mother @jocelynhurndall

These names should eternally haunt every politician and journalist around the world who has contributed to the dehumanization of Palestinians. They’ve played a crucial role in helping to spur on the genocide that’s now unfolding with the international community’s permission.

Seriously? The UK green lit Israel’s genocidal assault, providing strong diplomatic & military support and consistently refusing to call for a ceasefire. @RishiSunak even said Israel’s evacuation order to displace over a million people from the north was “absolutely right”.
The scale of suffering and displacement of innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza remains shocking. It is reported that 4 in 10 of those killed in Gaza so far have been children - close to 8,500 dead. Many more will die if we do not act to stop this humanitarian catastrophe.
