The BBC must broadcast this, or lose the last threads of its reputation
Hello @BBCNews, Are you just going to pretend that this didn't happen? Propaganda by omission, once again. @raffiberg, BBC online Middle East Editor @JohntNeal, BBC News at 6 & 10 Editor @jonathancmunro, Deputy CEO, BBC News @paulroyall, Executive BBC News Editor

We should have nothing but contempt for people like this who don’t give a damn about Sudan other than to use it to attack supporters of the Palestinians.
There’s a genocide happening in Sudan. Men, women, and children are being slaughtered, and the world is silent. No outrage. No mass protests. No hunger strikes. No boycotts. No “actions” on college campuses. Just silence. Deafening, shameful silence. https://t.co/pLgtbZSfoc

Yesterday, Ms. Rachel shared that she attempted to rent three venues in New York to celebrate Rahaf’s birthday, but was turned away three times. She made sure to state that there would be no press, no photos, no videos, and that she would rent out that whole venue for the

A spectacular example of Orwellian doublespeak from the UK Home Secretary: "Just because you have a freedom doesn’t mean you have to use it at every moment of every day." In fact the ability do something whenever you want is practically the definition of a freedom.

I've just turned my phone on after Yom Kippur, when like many British Jews I go out of digital contact. I've just felt a visceral shock of such terrible news. My thoughts and prayers with all affected in Manchester. We cannot allow division and hatred to rule. I'm proudly

I woke up this morning to see a video of a healthcare worker colleague in Gaza be shot in the head while working in the hospital. Shot in the head by the Israeli military. While working in the hospital. Israel continues to target healthcare workers with impunity. Fuck this world.

Astonishing that @BBCNews can relay the entirety of Netanyahu’s speech to the UN, without once mentioning that the world’s top war crimes court has issued warrants for his arrest for crimes against humanity. Complete loss of moral bearings https://t.co/KxkaSsGWOf

After 15 years of service as an NHS doctor at London's Whittington Hospital, their response to mass complaints about my anti-genocide posts and placard was to report me to the police. Leaving the front door ajar so the police doesn’t have to use force when they come and get me!
