Norman Finkelstein describing conditions in Gaza in 2018 –conditions that have only worsened since then. Any reporting or commentary that doesn’t acknowledge these basic, incontrovertible facts is essentially Zionist propaganda.

An enormous red flag. Akehurst is one of the most crazed right-wing attack-dogs in the party. Hiring Labour First's Matt Pound is another clear signal from Starmer that he is aligning himself with the right, and would work to undermine internal democracy

In other words: Hamas demands something Israel has been legally obliged to do for over 50 years, namely end the occupation; while Israel demands something it has never had any legal right to do, namely dominate the Palestinians indefinitely.

Career journalists can quite naturally lose touch with the reality of what they're covering, I think. Kind of an occupational hazard. For most people it's a horrific crime, for families it's a personal tragedy, but for the reporter it's overwhelmingly just an incredible scoop.

Since 2001, Palestinian rocket strikes in southern Israel have killed roughly one person per thousand hits.
Now that death toll has suddenly increased 50 million percent - three days after Israel's hi-tech air force threatened to bomb a hospital. Weird!
