Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it:
"These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening."

Been waiting for a politician, any politician from anywhere in the world to say, “Of course Palestine has the right to defend itself”.
I’ve been waiting a long time.

Listening to any of these ‘spokespeople, for the Israeli gov, defending the indefensible, is an outrage
The Israeli gov rightly trumpets the horror of the holocaust & then seems content to commit a horror themselves
The hypocrisy is shameful
There are no defences for ethnic cleansing or genocide

We are working with the Government to deliver the pay rise care workers deserve. But this won't arrive soon enough to fill the void”

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
