But Nick you don’t “interview those who use the word genocide”. I’m one of the most prominent British genocide scholars and I called Israel’s genocide in October 2023. I’ve had a lot of international media attention but my BBC total in 30 months is one interview on Radio Ulster.
Nick Robinson@bbcnickrobinson

Simple answer Zack. Our job is to report. We interview you & those you quote who use the word genocide. We do the same for those who disagree. We also report that no international court has yet made a judgment. Nor has the UN. That’s not me or the BBC taking sides or downplaying what’s happened in Gaza. It’s doing our job.

Irish hip-hop group Kneecap sailed to Cuba, as the island is suffocated by a U.S. embargo. They said that Irish and Cuban solidarity “goes back a long time.”

Even in Havana, with the power cutting out shorty after our gig, the message of solidarity to Palestine remains the same ❤️

I feel your pain. I was once feted by the BBC as an authority on crime and violence. BBC News, The Long View, Moral Maze etc. A producer told me I was the 'next public intellectual'. In 2009 I signed a BDS petition as a protest against Israel. Haven't heard from them since.

Irish Unity 🇮🇪🇵🇸
An Gorta Mór - The Great Hunger To call this period in Irish history a famine dishonours the pain and untold suffering our ancestors endured. British warships took the food of our land for profit while our people starved. It was genocide.

Recent suggestions that A-levels are the only indicator of academic potential misunderstands both education and people. If we restrict access to student finance based only on traditional academic routes, we don’t protect universities — we are just protecting privilege.

We have been granted leave to appeal (on all grounds) to take UCU back to tribunal. This is about getting a course correction so that UCU stops driving sex realists off campus - it is an important space to defend. We are not giving up. Help us if you can. crowdjustice.com/case/in-defenc…

I’ve just supported this hugely important appeal. No organisation should be allowed to veto a lawful campus event. Especially when the organisation is a university union and the event is explaining why biology matters! #AcademicFreedom #FreeSpeech #SexNotGender

So Pam Cox was amongst Labour MPs who voted to restrict Jury trials. Would that be Professor Pamela Cox "I am a member of the British Journal of Criminology's editorial board" career all supposedly about historical policy evidence? Interesting silence. essex.ac.uk/people/COXPA93…

"We normally wouldn't, but given the week that's in it, we couldn't refrain from posting an archived clip of the bold Gerry" Provisional Sinn Féin heavyweight Gerry Adams quickly deals with an arrogant British reporter. (Early 1980s) #Irishrepublican #irishhistory

GRMA once again to everyone who supported us from across the world during this witch-hunt. It was driven by Zionists, it was executed by Britain and it was defeated hands down in West Belfast. We said we would fight them in their own courts and win. We did. 💚🤍🧡🇵🇸

My MP @elliereeves voted to remove jury trials- one of the most fundamental checks to state power -this is an authoritarian move concentrating power in the hands of the state- lets not kid ourselves we are living in a democracy

Don’t lose sight of the fact that Starmer wants to install Margaret Hodge as the next chair of @Ofcom If Hodge does get the post she’ll go that extra mile to ensuring that the Mandelson scandal is shut down in the media.

If you care at all about the safety of women and girls and think that politics should be rooted in the material Reality and honesty whatever you do don’t vote @TheGreenParty
NotDragonD@NotThatDragonD

If you care at all about Trans people in the UK, you MUST vote Green and get everyone you know to do the same. They have a real, honest shot at getting a majority in government. The polls all say so. But they can't do it if you don't vote.
