It was never a Gaza ‘war’. The ‘ceasefire’ is a lie cut from the same cloth
[First published by Middle East Eye] Ceasefires stick because the two sides in a war have reached military stalemate – or because the incentives for each side in laying down their arms outweigh those of continuing the bloodshed.

Jeremy Bowen’s Interview with Gaza Aid Chief was Shameful
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. There was yet more shameful reporting by BBC News at Ten last night, with international editor Jeremy Bowen the chief […]

New BBC Documentary “The Road to 7th October” is an Utter Travesty
There has been a prolonged furore over the BBC’s craven decision to ban a documentary on life in Gaza under Israel’s bombs after it incensed Israel and its lobbyists by, uniquely, humanising the enclave’s children. The English-speaking child narrator, 13-year-old Abdullah, who became the all-too-visible pretext for pulling the film Gaza: How to Survive a […]

Malnutrition and Mortality in Gaza, One Year Later. Who’s Counting the Dead?
It’s a tragic sign of the times when little introductory narrative is needed to set the near-apocalyptic scene that exists in Gaza today.
