Say his name Shaban. The man, the human, the soul behind the photo seen around the world. The man who was burnt alive by an evil regime, while being attached to an IV in a hospital. The word war crime doesn't even begin to cover this. He is not a number. Not one single person murdered is. His name was Shaban. May he rest in peace and rise in power. 🇵🇸🕊️🇵🇸

In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline. As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone. For example: 1. Treating the 4 Israeli soldiers as more important than the 23 Palestinian children (by leading the story with their deaths and just chucking in the others at the end) implies their lives are of higher value. 2. Infantilizing active duty soldiers as "teenagers" while not emphasizing the age of the schoolkids, despite many of them being demonstrably younger. 3. The classic use of the passive voice: Israelis are "killed" while Palestinians merely "die". 4. Putting scare quotes around "23 die" subtly undermines the credibility of that claim. Maybe no one died, and the Palestinians are just lying? 5. Using the word "attack" for Hezbollah actions, but choosing a more neutral, clinical word like "strike" for Israeli aggression. 6. Allowing Israeli sources to dictate the framing of the story ("Israel names teenage soldiers") etc. 7. Actually naming the Israeli soldiers, but not doing the same for the far greater number of Palestinians, again sends the message to the reader that Palestinian lives don't matter nearly as much, if at all. It's truly incredible how much propaganda has been packed into 16 words. We are swimming in an ocean of propaganda. That's why it is crucial to deconstruct it and critically assess everything you read, see and hear.

“Brexit” did not save lives through the covid vaccine roll out . Let’s get this totally clear- we could develop and buy the vaccine within the EU.

"He wants the party to come to him and say 'Boris, we’re terribly sorry, please come and stand for the leadership.'” The News Agents on Boris being "vintage himself" on @LBC with Nick Ferrari, where he claimed Brexit saved lives. @maitlis | @jonsopel | @lewis_goodall

@RobertJenrick This is one of the most astonishing videos I have ever seen posted by a Conservative MP, let alone a candidate for the leadership. Most of it is twaddle, a series of promises of change that leaving the ECHR will do nothing to take forward.

You really would have to be ROBOTICALLY partisan not to notice the shameless difference between the micro-scrutiny being applied to Starmer’s govt’s doings by the news media and the deliberate blind eye they turned to the GROTESQUE corruption the Tories wallowed in.

I wear an N95 inside the hospital at all times. ALL TIMES. So does @CallMeSafetyMom. We daily see sick, coughing patients with COVID, FLU, RSV, Human Metapneumovirus etc. We have not caught anything at all. Even five years on, the level of this stupidity staggers me.

This is Prof Susan Hopkins, Chief Medical Advisor at UKHSA, explaining why she doesn’t think that FFP3 masks should be recommended (instead of fluid resistant surgical masks) in hospitals - even when there is an accepted risk of airborne transmission. 🚨Paging @trishgreenhalgh

Cost to the taxpayer for Keir Starmer’s use of a box at Arsenal: £0. Cost to the taxpayer of Rishi Sunak using a private helicopter to get around: £40,000,000 Amazing what the right wing media decide to try and get people angry about.

Good to see that Twitter is so supportive of Sue Gray's salary. A position I'm sure they would also have adopted if it was, say, Dominic Cummings

@JamesCleverly I'd rather my government was sponsored by the champions of working people, than by Russian oligarchs and racists. 🤷🏿‍♂️

@AndrewGold_ok @Chriss_m No, you didn't. You also didn't mention that she was talking about the character Fagin. Grifter
