OutByEaster? Posted May 11, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2021 Things look to be escalating fiercely. I'm not sure how reliable that Twitter account is, but some of the stuff on there is horrendous. This tower collapse is being widely reported elsewhere, including by the BBC. There was a ninety minute warning issued for this incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted May 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2021 The BBC headlines always make it sound Israel is on the receiving end of attacks and it isn’t stated that to be retaliation (and they don’t put it that way either) until the body of the text, when the former is still stated first. Israel-Gaza: Rockets pound Israel after militants killed Quote Hamas militants have launched dozens of rockets at Israel after Israeli air strikes killed senior commanders and felled another tower block in Gaza. The same applies to a report yesterday. I imagine this isn’t inadvertent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always "Israel responded to by..." But then they do also have some critical voices from time to time. Not seen many calling it for what it is yet thou. Ethnic cleansing from an Apartheid state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 At least they didn't burn him alive this time. Quote Mob 'lynching of Arab' aired live on Israeli TV Footage of a far-right Israeli mob attacking a man near Tel Aviv they believed to be an Arab was aired live on television Wednesday night, as the Israel-Palestinian conflict raged on. The shocking images show a man being forcibly removed from his car and beaten by a crowd of dozens until he lost consciousness. The attack, broadcast by public broadcaster Kan, took place on the seafront promenade of Bat Yam, south of Israel's commercial capital Tel Aviv. Police and emergency services did not arrive on the scene until 15 minutes later, while the victim lay motionless on his back in the middle of the street. Those in the crowd justified the attack by saying the man was an Arab who had tried to ram the far-right nationalists, but the footage shows a motorist trying to avoid the demonstration. "The victim of the lynching is seriously injured but stable," Tel Aviv's Ichilov hospital said in a statement, without revealing his identity. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210512-mob-lynching-of-arab-aired-live-on-israeli-tv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2021 Not much to argue with here. But I bet the word removed did. I appreciate it when a politician can skewer the point like he does here. I'm sure he's a crackpot or got some dodgy views but here he's talking absolute sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2021 As ever. Infuriating. It's one of those things that is so obviously wrong, so obviously morally bankrupt that it angers me to the core. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 German news did a series of interviews from Israelis who had their apartments hit by the rockets But then they did also go to cover the protest in gelsenkirchen where people marched the streets chanting "**** Jews" its been a while since that last happened...

Chindie Posted May 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2021 In fairness Rage Against the Machine are pretty much inherently political. It's even in the name. All their songs are political critiques. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
