The author wrote that Nick Robinson appeared proud of the exchange, which they said reflected poorly on BBC journalistic standards and its approach to framing. They argued that Robinson had been aggressively defending the boundaries of acceptable debate, rather than acting as an impartial devil’s advocate.
The author called a story by Mohamed important and accused the UAE of continuing to act with impunity in the Horn of Africa and beyond. #UAE #HornOfAfrica #Impunity #AE #SO
The author claimed that a large number of the more than 1,400 Palestinians Israel had killed with missiles in Gaza during the “ceasefire” were children. They added that a change in tone and sanctions on settlements were not enough. #Gaza #Palestine #HumanRights #IL #PS
The author wrote for MEE that Western media were refusing to describe Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza as violations despite the ceasefire, and argued that more than 1,400 Palestinian deaths had not met the threshold for doing so. https://t.co/bPKJPwoK1t https://t.co/VcDmAI55l9 #Gaza #MediaBias #HumanRights #IL #PS
The author described a detailed account of Zionism’s history as a useful rebuttal to what they called Kieran’s hysteria. They said the scale and severity of the racism it outlined were not widely known and needed to be understood, and argued that describing Zionism as racism was factual rather than extreme. #Zionism #Racism #History #IL
The author said the latest edition of Proximities covered reports of Eritrean troops pushing into Ethiopia, a Palestinian man being shot dead in an attack by settlers on olive harvesters, and the mayor of Turkey’s Izmir defecting to Erdogan’s AKP. The author said it could be read in under two minutes. https://t.co/5YR2fJTvot #Ethiopia #Palestine #Turkey #ER #ET #PS #TR
The author said a recent retweet of their October 7 post had prompted them to reiterate that, in their view, genocide had begun that day as well. They rejected suggestions by Israel supporters that discussing this was distasteful, saying Israel had been attacked and genocide had begun. #Genocide #Israel #HumanRights #IL
The author questioned how Abiy would react, saying the development gave him something concrete to respond to after years of threats and ominous warnings over access to the Red Sea. #Ethiopia #AbiyAhmed #RedSea #ER #ET
The author called Israel’s conduct tawdry, arguing that it showed little respect for its people killed on October 7 and used the date as propaganda to justify the continued killing of Palestinians. #IsraelPalestine #HumanRights #Peace #IL #PS
The author claimed that Israeli football fans racially abused two Irish players by making monkey noises and that an Israeli player spat at an Irish official. They ended with an apparently sarcastic description of them as “delightful people.” #Racism #Football #Sportsmanship #IL #IE
The author argued that realpolitik, pragmatism and concerns about “electability” led to centrist compromise and incremental change, despite the country needing more radical change. They said they admired the Greens for holding their position on a range of issues, regardless of whether those positions were considered electable.
The author wrote that the latest edition of Proximities covered Reuters reporting from inside what they described as secretive Eritrea, a march on Islamabad by Imran Khan supporters, and Malaysia sending Burmese people home despite UN fears. They said it could be read in under two minutes. https://t.co/FojqKipFNX #Eritrea #ImranKhan #Malaysia #ER #PK #MY #MM
The author wrote that British media and the political class had reacted strongly to the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban, Bob Vylan, Gary Lineker and a Green Party motion, but not to what they described as Israel’s genocide. #Israel #Genocide #MediaCriticism #IL #GB
The author wrote that at least 74,000 Palestinians had died and sarcastically apologised to those who were tired.
The author wrote that most major media organisations had treated Palestinian voices as unnecessary over the past three years, and that those who were included were routinely challenged and viewed with suspicion. #Palestine #MediaBias #VoicesUnheard #PS
The author argued that British media had misrepresented the debate over the Green Party and Zionism by treating the policy as antisemitic, which they said was plainly untrue. They added that Judaism should not be conflated with the Israeli government. #GreenParty #Zionism #Antisemitism #GB #IL
The author wrote that British media had shown more anger over a Green Party motion within a few hours than over what they described as three years of genocide, adding that the observation was by then familiar. #BritishMedia #GreenParty #Genocide #GB
The author questioned whether people earning more than 100,000 worked harder than others, saying some people in the country worked themselves into an early grave for little pay or held two or more jobs, as more than a million people did. They called the idea that high earners simply worked harder a Tory myth. #Arbeit #Ungleichheit #Gesellschaft #GB
The author wrote that an average of seven children a day had died from Ebola in DR Congo since May, but the outbreak had not made international headlines. They argued that if it spread to a white child, even without the child dying, the story would receive widespread coverage. #Ebola #DRCongo #HealthCrisis #CD
