I asked David Lammy a direct question. His response did little to reassure me. I've written to him demanding clarity and have asked him to guarantee that any further potential military involvement in the Middle East will be subject to a free vote in Parliament.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.
