Since the "ceasefire" Israel has murdered 136 children, including a the year old girl today.

What kind of ceasefire is this and why does this atrocity get no outrage from Western politicians or make headlines in Western media?

Israel has committed genocide, murdering tens of thousands of civilians and ethnically cleansing the land.
Domestically, it is an apartheid state.

Countries that do not #BDS from Israel, are saying they're totally at ease with the above.

British political prisoners are on hunger strike.
Pass it on.
Hunger strikes by Palestinian political prisoners held illegally in Israeli jails receive more coverage from the Israeli press than the British media are giving to a weeks-long hunger strike by the political prisoners of Palestine Action.

Imagine pretending to think that the reason the majority of people think Israel is committing genocide, is not because it was live streamed every night for nearly two years but because of Tiktok videos.

The "war on drugs" has always been a pretext for the US to attack countries who are in some way, a challenge to us hegemony.

When the BBC smeared Jeremy Corbyn in 2019, let elements of that Panorama documentary were fundamentally flawed.
Nothing adverse happened; that documentary even won an award.

The idea the BBC is "anti-Israel" is simply not supported by any evidence.
