The Israeli president says Israel doesn't aim at civilians For the last 20 months the world has seen who & what Israel aims at. Kids. Hospitals. Schools & universities. Aid workers. Refugees in tents. Mosques & churches. Medics. Journalists. Starving people collecting food.

#GMB reports from the Israeli port of Haifa that its been quite badly damaged by Iranian missiles that continue to get through Israels air defences A reminder that Israel is censoring journalists from reporting about or from Israeli military infrastructure thats been hit.

"24 people have been killed in Israel.. more than 200 in Iran, some of them at a state run TV station which was struck by an Israeli rocket during a live broadcast yesterday" #GMB

Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iran, they've exploded car bombs across Tehran & yesterday they bombed the TV station there. And all this after Israel has been committing genocide for 20mths. #GMB report: "At the G7 in Canada its clear they see Iran as being the problem"

Kevin Maguire: "Some of the IDF trained in the UK, arms are still being supplied, & Britain should have imposed an embargo and didn't and Starmer is going to take the consequences for that" #GMB

Daniel Levy: "Israel has gone so far past that line of what's legal internationally that one can only look in despair at the unwillingness of those who claim to uphold the international legal system to actually challenge these ongoing illegal actions"

Daniel Levy asks, why is Israel doing what its doing in Iran. Is it trying to goad Iran into doing something that will drag the US into the conflict? Is Israel getting frustrated that its not achieving more in terms of blunting Irans nuclear programme & its military capabilities?

"11 Palestinians have been killed since midnight, at least 4 children are amongst the dead. The Israeli military killed at least 56 Palestinians on Monday alone. Most of them were killed by a mix of air strikes and snipers whilst trying to access food"

Professor Foad Izadi, speaking from Tehran: "[Israel] has killed more than 200 civilians so far, they have been doing a genocide in Gaza for the last 19 months.. they don't have any ethical standards"

"[Israel] attacked during negotiations, people don't like that, this is deception" Professor Foad Izadi, speaking from Tehran, also explains that regardless of what Iranians think of their govt, they don't like their infrastructure being attacked & women & children being killed.

Iranian Professor Foad Izadi to Wilfred Frost: "You saw yesterday the Israelis attack a television station. If you don't like the content that is provided by Sky News that doesn't give you permission to kill the host"

Iranian Professor Foad Izadi explains that the talks between Iran & the US didn't break down. Rather, the US used the negotiations as a way of lulling Iran into a false sense of security in order to allow Israel to launch its surprise attack.

Nour Odeh again reminding us that Israel bans journalists from reporting on Iranian missiles hitting military sites & infrastructure.

"Israeli forces have killed more than 50 Palestinians waiting for food in Khan Younis. Gaza's health ministry says Israeli tanks opened fire on crowds of people waiting for aid trucks to arrive in the south of the strip" Another massacre by Israel.

BBC News at 9am. We're shown a video of Israel during an Iranian air strike & we're told 5 people have been injured by shrapnel. We're then told about Israeli attacks on Iran No mention of Gaza. Israel has just massacred at least 50 Palestinians there while they waited for aid

Richard Dalton: "[the G7] should have been calling for a ceasefire but there was no possibility of getting the US to agree to that" "Why do you say that?" "Because they don't think that Israel should be forced to do anything that Israel hasn't voluntarily chosen to do"

Israel bombed an Iranian hospital, but the BBC tells us a missile launcher was deployed nearby So why doesn't the BBC tell us that Israeli military facilities (like Iron Dome sites) are located nearby when reporting on Iranian attacks?

Broadcast a few mins ago, BBC Verify tells us Israel bombed the intl airport in Tabriz, "which is near a reported military base" When was the last time that BBC Verify, or any BBC journalist, report that the site of an Iranian attack was near to an Israeli military facility?

"Yesterday the state TV station.. targeted. Israel saying because its a mouthpiece of the regime. Others saying its a civilian building containing journalists who.. should not be a military target" Alistair Bunkall refusing to report that killing journalists is wrong. Shameful

"Israeli forces have killed more than 70 Palestinians across Gaza since early morning [today]. More than 50 of them were killed in Khan Younis while waiting for food"

This morning Israel opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians waiting for food, & reports are that at least 50 Palestinians have been killed. A witness who was at the site of the massacre says the death toll will be far greater.

This morning Israel opened fire on Palestinians waiting for food, & reports are that at least 50 people have been killed. Hani Mahmoud reports on the massacre a few minutes ago.

Israel have just bombed a home in a refugee camp, killing 8 members of the same family. Hani Mahmoud reporting.

"51 Palestinians killed and over 200 injured while trying to get aid in Gaza. Witnesses say Israeli drones and a tank fired on desperate crowds"

To Israels foreign minister "The Iranian regime has done terrible things but many would say Israel is the real intl pariah, accused of genocide in the ICJ, your PM wanted on war crimes allegations.." When will journalists start stating as fact, Israel has done terrible things?

Israels foreign minister: "Civilians, innocent civilians, are not a target" For the last 20 months the world has watched Israel target & kill civilians in hospitals, mosques, refugee camps, schools, ambulances, bakeries, universities, tents, churches, and of course their homes.

"They were trying to get some food for their family, for their starving kids, & suddenly 2 drone strikes & 1 tank shell, according to local journalists & witnesses" Rushdi Abualouf reports on Israels latest massacre this morning, when they opened fire on Palestinians trying to get food

No mention of 'Hamas run' and no 'Israel says'. Just reporting what people on the ground are saying. Its not hard, is it.

Sky News: "At least 51 Palestinians have been killed... according to the Hamas run health ministry & a local hospital. Witnesses say..." Witnesses have reported what happened. The local hospital is treating the injured. But Sky News sticks with "Hamas run". We know why.

"We are not surprised by the chaos that has ensued since the GHF began its operations, but we are dismayed & disturbed by the number of people being killed while making the decision between dying of starvation or dying while seeking food" Shaina Low from the Norwegian Refugee Council

Following Israels latest massacre, over 200 injured people (some in a critical condition) have been rushed to Nasser hospital. Franz Leuf from MSF is asked about the situation there. He says its catastrophic.

A journalist in Gaza reports on the massacre committed by Israeli forces this morning in Khan Younis as Palestinians were seeking humanitarian aid in aid sites that have become death traps for Palestinians.

I joined colleagues at the vigil outside St Thomas’ in solidarity with Laila Soueif, now over 250 days into a hunger strike in protest at her son Alaa Abd el-Fattah’s continued imprisonment in Egypt. Her condition is critical. Keir Starmer must act to save her life & free Alaa.

The UK has finally sanctioned Smotrich & Ben-Gvir. Good. Now sanction the entire Israeli government & military officials. Genocide, war crimes, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, mass displacement & land theft aren’t just the agenda of two extremists — they’re official state policy.

What we’re witnessing is the result of Israel acting with impunity. It is committing genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank & has bombed Lebanon, Syria, Yemen & Iran without any accountability. The UK must end ALL arms sales, sanction Israel & expel its ambassador.

Thinking of the survivors and all those who lost loved ones in the Grenfell Tower fire. Eight years ago, 72 people were killed by a system that put profit before people. Still, no-one has been held to account. The fight for justice and accountability goes on. Always. 💚

Stop selling arms to Israel then.

If the UK government wants to defend Israel militarily, put it to a vote in Parliament. Let the country see which MPs support a genocidal state.

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants. Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

Honoured to visit Derry with @bloodysundaytrust.bsky.social for the 15th anniversary of the Saville Report. We remember the 14 unarmed civil rights activists murdered on Bloody Sunday & stand with all fighting for truth from Ballymurphy to Rafah. One world. One struggle. Until we are all free.

Just attended the deeply moving service at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide — a solemn reminder of where hatred, dehumanisation & impunity lead. We say never again — yet a genocide is taking place in Gaza right now. The world must act.

As the US edges closer to bombing Iran, Israel killed over 51 starving Palestinians at a so-called aid site today. And the UK government says nothing. Still arming Israel. Still enabling genocide. End all arms sales. Sanction Israeli war criminals. Stop being America’s poodle.
