Journalists were taught to cover a story by asking: who, what, when, where—and why. Interesting how “who” keeps disappearing when the story involves a certain actor. That’s not a lapse. It’s a deliberate editorial choice to keep headlines vague, misleading, and stripped of accountability. In other words: complicity.
Assal Rad@AssalRad

Incredible that this was caught on film, yet there’s barely any coverage in Western media and the coverage that does exist doesn’t name ISRAEL.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

Few people have tracked the horrific and increasing levels of Islamophobia in the Conservative party more closely than @OborneTweets - Nick Timothy is just the latest to try to bash Muslims for electoral gain & to boost his personal profile in the gutter of the far right.

I profile Nick Timothy, the shadow justice secretary who has ignited the latest culture war to engulf British politics: middleeasteye.net/opinion/nick-t…

A likely consequence of this war is further nuclear proliferation, with states seeking to acquire nuclear weapons capabilities, not just Iran. Leaders will look at N. Korea as the option, that they require a nuclear shield to prevent a US, Israeli, Russian or Chinese invasion.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Hegseth: "My 13 year old son popped into my office last night while I was editing these remarks. He asked about the war and the families I met at Dover. I looked at him and said, 'They died for you, son. So your generation doesn't have to deal with a nuclear Iran.'"

Spectacular propaganda where Israel, a state still committing genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza, pretends to have an issue with Iran killing Palestinians. (Wish nobody was killing Palestinians, and nobody was bombing or launching missiles at anyone)
Israel Foreign Ministry@IsraelMFA

Three Palestinian women killed in Bayt Awa by an Iranian cluster missile strike captured on camera by Jewish residents in nearby Asael. The Iranian regime deliberately uses cluster munitions to target civilians - Jews and Arabs alike - with missiles designed to cause wide-scale indiscriminate harm.

@thecolonel120 yes, they have reasonable freedom of operation but quite how many missiles and drones Iran has left is hard to work out.

Hegseth says Iranian missile stocks 90 per cent from the first day of fighting - but that is what the US was saying last week.

Our way of life? Which means? Let's take atheism - historically, atheism was not huge in the UK - but in the last census, atheists made up 37.2% (22.2 million) - are they to be penalised? Views, beliefs change. Britain is at its best when respecting people of all faiths or none.
Nick Timothy MP@NJ_Timothy

I will not be silenced. Labour are only demonstrating that they cannot see right from wrong. They will not stand up for our way of life. But we will.

The Israeli agenda is very different to the US. It wants to leave Iran in pieces but also to undermine the Gulf as a whole. Israeli leaders knew an attack on South Pars would lead to an Iranian attack on the Qatari field. It is a dangerous rogue state.
BBC Radio 4 Today@BBCr4today

"We are very much aligned on most, or all of our goals." Donald Trump said he hadn't known that Israel was going to attack Iran's South Pars gas field yesterday. Alex Gandler from the Israeli Embassy to the UK, tells @annaefoster there is 'no daylight' between the US and Israel in the war.

Today we get more details on where FCDO funding cuts will land. I fear for the international impact, not least to our reputation. And remember in addition to 40% cuts, there are 25% staff cuts @CommonsIDC @icai_uk @bondngo @CGDev @Independent
