#Gaza #Palestine

The BBC has been accused by more than 100 of its staff of giving Israel favourable coverage in its reporting of the war on Gaza and criticised its lack of “accurate evidence-based journalism”.

A letter sent to the broadcaster’s director general, Tim Davie, and CEO Deborah Turness on Friday said: “Basic journalistic tenets have been lacking when it comes to holding Israel to account for its actions.”

#Gaza #Palestine

At least 25 Palestinians were killed and several others injured in Israeli attacks targeting northern and central Gaza Strip on Saturday.

A medical source at the Al-Shifa Hospital told Anadolu that the hospital received the bodies of 10 Palestinians and several injured individuals after Israeli forces targeted homes in Nuseirat Camp.

More than 43,200 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 101,800 others injured.

With just days remaining before the US presidential election, the admissions by several grassroots Muslim-American organisers in a private WhatsApp group corroborate reports that not only is Donald Trump gaining momentum amongst sections of the Muslim and Arab-American community, but that many have already decided to vote for a third-party candidate to hold the Democrats accountable for the US-sponsored Israeli war on Gaza.

Climate change story time. During a recent family event I explained the dynamics of climate change and what it means weather wise to a family member.

Yesterday I met them again, and came to me pale-faced to tell me I was right. With the news of the flooding in Spain things hit really really hard it seems.

It went from, is this stuff real to oh shit in a month or so. There is an upside to accelerating climate change.

The killing of journalists worldwide surged in 2022-23 compared with the previous two years, with a majority of cases unsolved, the United Nations has said.

On average, one journalist was killed every four days, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said in a report released on Saturday.

At 162 deaths, the number of journalists killed while working leaped 38 percent, the report found, calling the increase alarming.

Democrat Ruben Gallego says his party has often taken Native American voters for granted. As he competes for an open Senate seat, he has vowed to visit all of Arizona’s federally-recognized tribes.

Going to be dark years ahead if the Orange Mussolini wins along with the destruction of our society and our democracy.

Oh, George. Over the years your opinions have gone from puerile, to vile, to senile.



"A new dental scam is to pull healthy teeth to sell you expensive fake ones"

Well us Brits have always been amazed at how white and pearly American teeth are but dentistry is the US has clearly gone down the same oligopolistic and #enshittification rabbithole that the rest of American medicine has - as already documented by #pluralistic.

"Many dental clinics that offer implants have consolidated into chains owned by private equity firms that have bought out much of implant dentistry. In health care, private equity investment is sometimes criticized for overtreatment and prioritizing short-term profit over patients."

In the UK dentistry is increasingly privatised and our new Health Minister has been well bribed by the (often American) health companies to move even more of our health care to private sector contractors who will obviously take their cut. This will not end well.
