I expect the worse from the BBC but this is absolutely disgraceful. Each line more ahistorical, insulting and misleading than the next.
International law itself says the settlements are illegal under international law, not just the Palestinians, you shameless ghouls @BBCNews
Whole disgusting article is here, truly a masterclass in propaganda and distortion: bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-…
For an antidote to the BBC's vile account of the historical roots and context of the current situation, read Fayez Sayegh's 'Zionist Colonialism in Palestine': freedomarchives.org/Documents/Find…

The BBC: "the international community gave Britain the task of establishing a "national home" in Palestine for Jewish people."

Reality:

The framing of US “complicity” in Israel’s violence against the Palestinians actually obscures the extent of its responsibility. Israel is enabled & maintained in every conceivable way by the US - militarily, economically, diplomatically & politically. It’s just as responsible.
Kwame Ture:
Nasrallah: “Who bears the primary responsibility for all of Israel’s crimes, it’s massacres, the occupation & what it is doing in Jerusalem, the al-Aqsa mosque, the West Bank, Gaza Strip & inside Palestine before Netanyahu & the terrorist army of Netanyahu? It is America...”

In May 2003, Dr David Kelly told a BBC journalist that Alastair Campbell had personally added the invented ‘45 minute’ WMD claim to the infamous 'dodgy dossier' on Iraq. Two months later, after being exposed under pressure from Campbell and subsequently harassed, Kelly was dead.
Campbell’s reinvention as a celebrity mental health advocate is grotesque.
It should never be forgotten that people like John McDonnell and Owen Jones have been central to Campbell’s rehabilitation/transformation into a respectable elder statesman type figure.

This Super League is a reflection of broader changes already underway/accelerating: increasing monopolisation, widening inequality, lack of transparency, voice of the people/fans ignored.. I hope it makes fans connect the dots & see this is happening in every area of their lives.
Depressing as it is, this move is the inevitable result of the capitalist economic/poltical system under which the public good, including our enjoyment of sport, is readily sacrificed for the profits of a handful of unaccountable, unelected billionaires who do as they please.

By chance I recently came across some work I did over a decade ago as a student for a market research company. It was a research project about 'local content' in the oil & gas industries. I had very little memory of doing it & reading through I was really struck by something.
'Local content' in this context broadly means the development of local skills, technology transfers, and use of local manpower and local manufacturing within an oil or gas exporting country, & I had to research the local content environment in all of those countries.
What struck me was that the country with by far the most onerous (from the Western oil companies' perspective) local content regulations was Libya (pre-2011 of course).
