So the only time you get a spike in the mention of Palestinian deaths by the BBC is because several Westerners were killed, and a Palestinian was killed alongside them.

What a hideously chilling indictment of how the BBC considers the value of life.

Outrageous. Gaie Delap, a
77 year-old climate activist, was sent back to prison on Friday just because a curfew wrist tag didn’t fit. She is in poor health and should be at home. @kierstarmer.bsky.social please #freegaiedelap in time for Christmas. @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social
UK climate activist and Quaker, Gaie Delap, 77, was jailed for civil disobedience, released on house arrest, and then re-incarcerated bc the monitor was too big for her wrist. This is criminalization of climate activism + misogyny. @thirdactorg.sky.social

A great starter pack for anyone looking for content on the meta crisis
