Suddenly, after years of misrepresenting Hamas, western politicians and media are desperate to clarify – if only in Syria – the difference between jihadists and Islamic nationalists.

Either Guardian journalists don’t care about police accruing powers to jail journalists for doing journalism, or they have no real control over the material the paper publishes.

The media constantly deploy an antisemitic trope: that on Gaza, it is Israel pulling the strings in Washington. They get away with it because this trope is crucially useful to the western power elite.

We may be exhausted by 13 months of lies, disinformation and smears. But we’re not voiceless, or powerless. Our leaders seek to bully us into silence because they fear what we have to say.

News outlets didn’t make a mistake. They knowingly aired disinformation and peddled fake news. Admitting that requires a troubling recalibration of perspective if we’re ever to make sense of the world.

It’s not the World Court, non-western states, rights groups and Palestinians who have been using the term genocide ‘too lightly’. It’s the Guardian that’s reached the same conclusion far, far too late.

Trump or Harris, a further slide towards authoritarianism and repression was on the cards. A corrupt, failed system won’t admit its mistakes. It will find scapegoats.

Capitalism is irredeemably destructive, warns George Monbiot. So why is he shilling for the Guardian, when its role is to create bipartisan support for crushing the anti-capitalist, anti-war left?

A phalanx of the UK’s most influential journalists brought this piece to print, decrying as a ‘blood libel’ the reporting of Israel’s killing of thousands of children in Gaza.

News at Ten warns “Many will find his comments abhorrent” as Khalil al-Hayya deplores attacks on Israeli civilians, urges a ceasefire and seems ready for a two-state solution.

Western journalists claim to report the news objectively and fairly. If they really did, this is what coverage of Netanyahu’s assassination might look like…

The West, via Israel, is fomenting for Hezbollah and the Shia resistance their own ISIS moment. Moderates are once again losing the argument – because we lost it for them

Gaza’s children have no voice. Their tears evaporate in the summer heat, and merge with the winter rain. No one comes to make a documentary about them. No one comes at all.
