As Israel unveils its final genocide push, and mass death from starvation looms in Gaza, western media and politicians are tentatively starting to speak up.

There was no excuse for the BBC to follow Israel in treating the head of UNRWA as though he is aligned with terrorism. This kind of craven journalism just makes Israel's job of genocide easier.

For once, the BBC aired a documentary showing Israeli society's dark underbelly. The backlash is not because Louis Theroux got it wrong. It's because his film tells us far too much about ourselves.

The BBC's role is not to keep viewers informed. It's to persuade them a clear crime against humanity by Israel is, in fact, highly complicated geopolitics they cannot hope to understand.

Nineteen months into Israel's slaughter of Gaza's children, national treasures turned moral ghouls like Simon Schama and Simon Sebag Montefiore are still being given a platform to smear as 'antisemites' opponents of genocide.

Israel's execution of 15 emergency workers a month ago is incontrovertibly established. So why are the Guardian and other outlets still so ready to fudge the issue?

The left and right take the same reality-based view of world affairs but respond to it in different moral terms. Liberals, on the other hand, live in an alternate universe – of pure make-believe.

The wide-ranging crackdown on basic freedoms is being framed as a 'war on antisemitism'. But fascism in Europe and the US was always going to return in disguise, smearing its opponents, not itself, as the Nazis.

Sympathy for Israeli former captive Eli Sharabi must not obscure the bigger picture: he has allowed himself to be recruited at the United Nations to Israel's propaganda campaign for genocide.

The new guard of kleptocrats in charge of Washington are seeking quick deals on Gaza and Ukraine – not because they want peace but because they've found a better way to make themselves even richer.
