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

@TadhgHickey Wow. It just “landed” near me purely by chance. Not a targeted attack that nearly killed me. I mean this is shite even by BBC standards.

@magister418 Of course there is no direct comparison, it isn't like for like, but the comparison does hold in that both USSR then and USA now appear to be facing existential crises of governance, ones which Beijing may have underestimated.

@gem_ste Well first of all, the collapse of the USSR was almost entirely bloodless. So, on that dimension, completely inapt analogy.

This reminded me of a comment John Peel made about Virgin Radio made when it was launched. IIRC caveat - ‘it’s a radio station for people who think George Harrison was the best songwriter in the Beatles’
Anon Opin.@anon_opin

All Things Must Pass is one of the most overrated albums of all time. Not because it's crap, it isn't, it's good. But it's not what people often use it as - proof that Harrison was a better songwriter than Lennon and McCartney.
