I cannot believe that our UK government who espouse to be socialists and for the people do not send the Israeli Ambassador home, apply same sanctions as they did 2 weeks in for Russia and stand by the same principles as so many other countries on Statehood for Palestinians. I am ashamed to be British at this moment in time and will always stand alongside the Palestinian people and I am appalled that no urgency of demanding Dr Safiya be released unharmed in any way.
Why the media silence from Starmer and Lammy other than the identical rhetoric that both governments have spouted for the last 20 years at least according to my emails from my MPs over the years. They are complicit in the fate of Dr Sufiya and all Palestinians. They are not making Israel accountable for obvious reasons.
Utterly shameful.
Dr Safiya and all the innocents left to suffer deserve better.
Thanks very much Jonathan for painting the chilling story behind the photo and the last day of the northern Gaza hospital with the magnificent ,courageous Doctor Safiya as he walked towards Israel's guns and tanks. Its monstrous that Israel holds him and others in prisons for being doctors! - Kay
good and necessary article, but if may make a suggestion and ask your narrator to try and pronounce the names in their original language, instead of the imperial english ?
It is a dangerous generalisation that points the finger of blame for the genocide in Gaza @ 'The West'. The people who live in western countries are not responsible for the actions of their gov'ts nor the ideologies of powerful oligarchs who control MSM. This is the logic of 'the Headchoppers' Al Quaeda/Wahabi who bring terror to the streets of western countries.
Yes, because we don't all hold the common assumptions about property and money that underpin the Western system of global exploitation, except a few anarcho-hippies off course.
TS Manchester concert, whom the attackers were MI6 assets imported into the UK from amongst anti Gadhafi Libyans? Comparable to the recent attack on a Moscow concert, reportedly originating from ISIS in Kyrgyzstan who were paid as mercenaries to carry it out. Are MI6 leaving their dirty fingerprints here too? The words "sponsors of terrorism" should be applied more generally, not just to the UK's geopolitical targets, IMO.
Absolutely criminal what is happening in Gaza and West Bank

I can try -:) If you've specific advice I'll look into each example.
in this article it's just the name of dr Hussam Abu Saffiyah, which is pronounced Hussam Abu Saffeeyah, instead of Saff-aye-yah
Thank you!

We absolutely are complicit. If our so-called "democracies" aren't functioning as such, it's our fault too.
Yes, because we don't all hold the common assumptions about property and money that underpin the Western system of global exploitation, except a few anarcho-hippies off course.
Or it's just a long-established journalistic convention to refer to the actions of each nation-state by the country's name.
A dangerous journalistic convention!
Why?
See Taylor Swift Concert in Manchester as just one example.

I have no idea about the TS concert
Outstanding analysis as usual.
