John Pilger’s investigative documentaries were aired on ITV. How far things have fallen on mainstream outlets today. He revealed truths in his books and films that inspired many to challenge the hypocrisy of the powerful. His work will continue to do so - a living legacy.

Gaza has shown that Number 10 - whoever should reside there - will take their orders from Washington. As the drums of war beat louder, foreign policy will be of rising and renewed importance in the Scottish context.

Are those who are now saying Israel has “gone to far” going to pretend they are surprised at such an outcome, and that the openly genocidal statements of intent made by officials never existed? Yes, they are. But everything is on the historical record.

20,000 Palestinians killed. 10,000 children. Just under 2 million are displaced. Universities, health system, residential zones, civilian infrastructure: destroyed. Siege induced starvation and disease. All of this in *ten weeks.* A crime of incomprehensible proportions.

Below the founder of Breaking the Silence, shares a painful thread about the genocidal trip many Israelis are on.
These soldiers are those who should 'protect' the Palestinians in oPt.

UK govt minister Lord Callanan: 'I'm sure Israel are using all the restraint they possibly can.” Do these people have any idea how inhumane they sound? Ready and willing to provide cover for war crimes, they showcase the bloody hypocrisy of Western foreign policy.

A maternity ward. Are there any words left to say? There is no way back from any of this - the moral and political failure is total and eternal.

Silence & the absence of comment can say so much. The UK political class & media show their lack of solidarity & empathy with the tragedy that is happening to Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli state.
