Why is the media ignoring evidence of Israel’s own actions on 7 October? – Jonathan Cook

"What western governments and institutions should have done is demand an independent investigation to clarify the extent of Hamas atrocities that day rather than echo Israeli officials who wanted an excuse to trash Gaza and drive its inhabitants into neighbouring Sinai.

"The western media’s performance has been even more dismal - and dangerous. It professes to be a watchdog on power. But it has repeatedly amplified the Israeli occupier’s evidence-free claims, peddled libels against Palestinians with little or no scrutiny, and actively suppressed evidence challenging Israel’s official narrative"

🇵🇸 Israel is conducting its own ‘Final Solution’ in Gaza – Middle East Monitor

The unfathomable scope of Israel’s actions in Gaza against Palestinian civilians amounts to war crimes devoid of any humanity. We bear a moral responsibility to demand an immediate end to these atrocities, and accountability and justice for these crimes. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and other Israeli leaders must be charged with genocide at the International Criminal Court. US President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin and other US leaders must be charged for their complicity in this genocide.
