Report: Reporter Marina Watanabe has accused US media of being complicit in Israel's murder of six journalists in Gaza City.
Watanabe said the LA Times prevented her & 100 colleagues from covering Palestine for three months after they signed an open letter demanding that Israel stop killing journalists.
"I will never forgive US media for its complicity in their deaths", she said.

Interview: Israel plans to occupy Gaza City, displacing 100s of 1000s of civilians to camps in central Gaza.
This "is simply the first phase of a larger plan for the permanent displacement, occupation & annexation of the entire Strip."
The Gaza takeover is "Israel’s indefinite, genocidal military campaign”
Whatever it does, Israel knows it has the consent of its key sponsors & allies.

Interview: "A Game of Target Practice" Doctors Back From Gaza Share Harrowing Stories of Israel’s Brutality
One day, boys "would be coming in with gunshot wounds to the head or the neck."
The next day, gunshot wounds to the chest.
Then four boys, 13, 14, "all of whom had been shot in the testicles."
This clustering was so striking, "it was inconceivable it could have been coincidence.”

"Why BBC editors must one day stand trial for colluding in Israel's genocide"
Journalist Peter Oborne lists six ways the BBC has wilfully misled audiences on Israel's genocide. He did it face-to-face with BBC news's Richard Burgess.
Oborne cited a damning report that analysed the BBC's coverage Oct 2023-24 showing systematic, long-term skewing of coverage in Israel’s favour.
Video of the confrontation:

Analysis: "The BBC helped kill Anas al-Sharif. Its reporting will kill more journalists"
"The media are legitimising the murder of journalists by Israel – & they are doing it because they are racist propagandists for a system of western colonial control in the Middle East".

Analysis: "Trump’s War on Immigrants Is a Trojan Horse to Normalize Domestic Use of the Military"
The use of the military against immigrants in LA was defeated through community organising plus the potential of LA unions uniting with the movement.
If such resistance can be built across the US, uniting all interested sectors to fight the growing authoritarianism, "even the most powerful military in the world will have to retreat"

Some people imagine that Israel controls the west. Not so. "Israel is the bastard child of the west."
"It is nothing exceptional... It is white, western, colonial, genocidal racism, repackaged as a supposedly 'Jewish' project."
Its crimes promote western control over the oil-rich Middle East.
And "the west knows that any criticism of Israel's imperial control & pillage can be dismissed as antisemitism."
