5 journalists killed in a van marked press - and the BBC says they weren't targeted.
What about the other 145 journalists?
I mean seriously. How do they sleep at night?

I'm sorry BBC.
But it would appear that Israel was not simply targeting an armed group, or it wouldn't have killed 5 journalists.
That's 150 journalists now. Do better BBC. Condemn this barbarism for the evil it is.
Why would the BBC choose to ignore this?

Huge solidarity @NEUnion 6th form striking today for pay parity- & with ucu FE members not on strike but also denied parity. It’s been inspirational to see NEU draw MPs to pickets & lobbying chancellor. As individuals we are vulnerable & tired: collective action is how we get energised & get heard.
Daniel Kebede joins NEU sixth form members at the strike rally in Leeds.
Our members have brought their version of A Christmas Carol to one of the biggest Scrooges – chancellor Rachel Reeves’ constituency. They are taking action to win pay justice #PayUp24.

The Government has proposed an unfunded, 2.8% pay increase for teachers next year. Instead of continuing Conservative austerity, the Government must fully fund the above-inflation pay increases desperately needed to value, recruit and retain teachers and school leaders. neu.org.uk/latest/press...

The head of one of these schools ran ofsted. There is no place for this kind of behaviour in education; towards anyone. I hope these young people get justice.
