Banksy is a pillar of British culture.

He’s been daubing walls for three decades.

As soon as he satirises peaceful protesters being dragged through the courts for holding placards opposing Israel’s genocide, he faces being unmasked and prosecuted.

Police have launched an investigation into a new Banksy artwork depicting a judge attacking a protestor with a gavel.

“There were no clear systems to prioritise vulnerable individuals such as widows, the injured or elderly people. The scene resembled throwing meat into a cage of starving lions and watching them fight for survival. Of course, only the strongest win.”

Israeli forces have killed at least 48 people in Gaza today. This is twice the number of Israelis that have been killed in 4 days of bombing by Iran, but on the UK mainstream news today we've had wall to wall coverage about Israelis & almost nothing on Palestinians.

Hind Khoudary reports that since the (Israeli/US) 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' took over the distribution of aid in Gaza Israel has killed at least 300 Palestinians trying to collect food. 33 more murdered just today.

There's nothing humanitarian about the GHF.

The public record is often written by those in power, but we can write our own.

Let’s take ownership of our history.
Let’s make sure our protests are counted.
Let’s commit to documenting each action like it matters because it does.

We count. Our protests count. Let’s make sure the world knows it.

Yesterday I was fired by Columbia University after eight months as executive editor of the Columbia Journalism Review. This was the first time in a 25-year career that I've ever been subjected to discipline in a job — much less terminated from one.
