The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldn’t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law.

Tragically, it’s already done: the West has sacrificed its credibility through decades of free passes granted to Israel. Millions in the West—for whom libertĂ©, egalitĂ©, fraternitĂ© are universal values—are suffering. One path remains: sanction Israel and protection force in oPt.

Big crowd out calling for justice for Kumanjayi. No more killer cops. Answers now to Paul Silva's questions: "How long must one family, one community endure so much pain from this system? How many more Aboriginal people have to die before there's accountability?"

Remember when Israel said aid couldn’t be delivered because of looting and armed gangs? Remember when they shared a video of armed men preventing Palestinians from getting aid? Every accusation is a confession.

Al Jazeera has published the names of every journalist killed since Oct 7th. 231 Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered in Gaza. A whole generation of reporters wiped out while many of their colleagues in the West simply shrugged.

A UN report today said Israel has committed the crime against humanity of EXTERMINATION, but there’s almost no media coverage. Because why would this be considered newsworthy

(In my academic capacity) Israel's strikes on Iran are a prohibited use of force under article 2(4) of the UN Charter, an armed attack under article 51 giving Iran a right of self-defence and likely an international crime of aggression by Israeli leaders bbc.com/news/live/c93y
