Compare and contrast. Lies and reality.
The very forces being denigrated in that tweet have provided the Palestinian resistance with arms,intel.,training & other *material* support for years on end. It’s one of the reasons for its increased military deterrence/capability in recent years.
This has been widely reported. Eg: google.co.uk/amp/s/www.al-m…
At the exact moment the world can see the Palestinian resistance capability has increased, lying publicly about who has played a role in making that possible is shameful.

The reason "Israel is surrounded by enemies" as Zionists like to say, implying it's the victim, is because in addition to the Palestinians themselves, the populations of *every* single country it borders, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt & Jordan, have all suffered repeatedly at its hands.
Countless thousands have been massacred, displaced & wounded by Israel in all of those countries (and beyond) in manifold forms of violence including aerial bombardments, invasions, occupations and assassinations. The damage that Israel has inflicted on West Asia is incalculable.
Of course, those countries all host millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants, so many of whom Israel has destroyed the lives and homes of again and again and again.

I’m out of words for how vile the BBC is. This is sickening.
I’ve noticed a couple of BBC journalists have followed me in the last few days. I hope you see this and feel ashamed.
Israel is (again) bombarding a mass concentration camp full of refugees living in literally “unliveable conditions” with no way out and the BBC portrays Palestinian resistance as the aggressor. It’s evident there’s nothing Israel can do that the BBC won’t justify or support.

If you've recently found out about Palestine & are outraged by injustice Palestinians suffer. Don't let anyone chip away at that with ideas of 'complexity' or 'intractable, age-old conflicts'. It is a simple case of oppressor/oppressed, & there's only one just side to be on.
Education often instils within us an aversion to taking resolute & definitive positions - as though the truth *always* lies somewhere between 2 ostensibly extreme points. This prism pushes us away from our humanity & ability to see clear injustice & oppose it without reservation.
The Palestinian cause reveals the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of that prism:

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-…

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.
