And that would be the correct answer. Bombing a hospital is a war crime.

Would it be okay for Hamas to strike a hospital treating Benjamin Netanyahu?
Israel has justified bombing a Gaza hospital, killing civilians, because an injured Hamas politician was there. The laws of war only ever seem to be forgotten when it is Israel violating themJonathan Cook
Pretending this is debatable isn't journalism. It's Israeli propaganda. It's collusion in genocide."

'Where was the UN?' asks freed Israeli captive. Its staff were busy being killed
Sympathy for Israeli former captive Eli Sharabi must not obscure the bigger picture: he has allowed himself to be recruited to Israel's propaganda campaign for genocideJonathan Cook
"This documentary, like its BBC predecessors – most notably on Russia and Ukraine, and the implosion of Yugoslavia – excels at offering a detailed examination of tree bark without ever stepping back far enough to see the shape of the forest."

New BBC documentary 'The Road to 7th October' is an utter travesty
Pressured into removing a humanising portrait of Gaza’s children, the BBC offers instead a series on Israel-Palestine that frantically revives the very narrative that made the genocide possibleJonathan Cook

Netanyahu only ever saw the hostages as his path back to genocide
Western leaders and media are helping bolster a propaganda narrative about the Israeli captives that makes the resumption of Israel’s slaughter all but inevitableJonathan Cook
"An Australian cricket commentator is sacked for retweeting a Jewish human rights expert quoting two Israeli Holocaust scholars naming Israel's slaughter in Gaza as genocide. He's told his voice makes Jews 'feel unsafe'."

'As should have been clear, Netanyahu only agreed to Washington’s "ceasefire" because it was never real. It was a pause so the US could recalibrate from a Biden genocide narrative rooted in the language of "humanitarianism" and "security" to Trump’s far more straightforward tough-guy act.'

#Gaza #Palestine #Genocide
Trump didn't invent the Gaza ethnic cleansing plan. It's been US policy since 2007
Trump’s innovation is not the threat to 'clean out' Gaza. It is dropping a long-standing aim to dress up Palestinian expulsion as a peace planJonathan Cook
"Everyone is distancing themselves from his blatant backing for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza’s population.
But these are the same leaders who kept silent through 15 months of Israel’s levelling of Gaza’s homes, hospitals, schools, universities, libraries, government buildings, mosques, churches and bakeries."

#Gaza #Genocide
The Gaza 'war' was a lie, as is the ceasefire. Trump just told you
During Netanyahu’s visit, Trump dropped Washington’s sugar coating of Israel’s 15-month genocidal destruction of Gaza. This was always about ethnic cleansingJonathan Cook
"There was an unwanted ghost at the commemorations. In fact, tens of thousands of ghosts."
""The brutalities of western colonialism were veiled by outsourcing the crimes to local dictators and strongmen."
"The Holocaust has been turned into a shield that, rather than protecting others from becoming victims of genocide, is used to protect those in the West who wish to perpetrate it."

How the West hides its Gaza genocide guilt behind Holocaust Day remembrance
The ghosts of thousands of Palestinian children crushed by Israeli bombs loomed over this year's Auschwitz commemorationsJonathan Cook
"If you believed all of these stories, and still believe that the West is doing its best to bring to heel Islamic extremism and a supposed Russian imperialism in Ukraine, then you presumably also believe that Israel levelled Gaza, destroyed all its hospitals and starved its entire population of 2.3 million simply to “eliminate Hamas”, even though Hamas has not been eliminated."

Thirty years of Middle East lies just keep coming back to bite us
The West’s 'war on terror' was built on a series of deceptions to persuade us that our leaders were crushing Islamist extremism. In truth, they were nourishing itJonathan Cook
"There is an issue here bigger even than the #Gaza# genocide. Are we going to resign ourselves to living in an #authoritarian state, one where the police serve their political masters in deciding which rights we are permitted, and whether we are allowed to engage in any kind of meaningful #protest against our government?"

Corbyn is being smeared again – this time to stop protests against genocide
I was an eyewitness to events on Saturday. The Metropolitan police are lying when they claim the ex-Labour leader and MP John McDonnell forced their way through a police cordonJonathan Cook
"The Telegraph reports that Raffi Berg, the BBC's online Middle East editor, is threatening to sue Owen Jones, after Jones' recent investigation revealed that there was near-revolt at the BBC over Berg's editorial interference."

On our way through Trafalgar Square, I took a few photos of *some* of the police presence in the area.
Far more police present that day than other marches. Either the #MetropolitanPolice expected violence from peaceful protesters or their aim was to incite violence.
#JonathanCook says it's a smear to end the marches

"In other words, the few documents that have come to light show that it was the CPS – led at that time by Keir Starmer, later knighted and now Britain’s prime minister – that waged what appears to have been a campaign of political persecution against Assange"

Judge threatens to break the UK's wall of secrecy around Assange's persecution
For years, the UK and Sweden stymied Freedom of Information requests to hide why prosecutors under Keir Starmer pursued the Wikileaks founder. Finally the game may be upJonathan Cook

Dr Abu Safiya symbolised humanity in Gaza. Israel and the West are destroying it
Israel isn't eradicating 'the terrorists'. It's turning Gaza into a wasteland, a hellscape, where doctors no longer exist, aid workers are a memory, and compassion a liabilityJonathan Cook
" #Zuckerberg must now recalibrate his #algorithms to keep the #Trump team happy, and not stray too far from the 'free speech' mantra of fellow billionaire and social media mogul Elon #Musk. Zuckerberg must ensure his own platforms don’t end up getting treated like a US equivalent of #Tiktok, under risk of a ban for supposedly posing a 'national security' threat."

Billionaires dangle free speech like a bauble. We gawp like open-mouthed babes
Zuckerberg, Trump, Musk. None care about free speech, least of all yours or mine. They care about power and remaining billionaires – or, better still, becoming trillionairesJonathan Cook
"If a large chunk of the public can be persuaded that a man who is incapable of finding the door through which he’s supposed to leave is “sharp as a tack”, then why would they not also believe that the United States is promoting democracy as it has laid waste to the Middle East over the past two decades to control the region’s oil?"

Is US democracy a sham? Biden gave us the answer. Were you listening?
Only in a world of political make-believe would the Wall Street Journal’s account of Biden’s years-long cognitive decline, and its concealment by his officials, count as a scoopJonathan Cook

I feel this way about the #BBC too. Too many people talk about these institutions like they could change for the better, like they'd want to. But then, Jonathan cook once thought Twitter could change for the better, so idk

"They have once again demonstrated that they can find a collective backbone only when their jobs, rather than the principles of a free press, are under threat."

The Guardian is not our friend, as the strike by its staff highlights
Either Guardian journalists don't care about police accruing powers to jail journalists for doing journalism, or they have no real control over the material the paper publishesJonathan Cook
"Just seen No Other Land, a devastating documentary showing first-hand the decades-long collusion between the Israeli army and the settlers to terrorise Palestinians off their land.
Anyone who claims history began on October 7, 2023, should be forced to watch this film."

"The Guardian is readying its alibi before the dust settles, and the true toll shocks even Israel’s supporters. The paper urgently needs to rationalise its many long months of obfuscation and procrastination, and get in its excuses before Donald Trump heads to the White House. This opinion piece is the Guardian’s vehicle for doing all that."

#Gaza #OccupiedPalestine
A year late, the Guardian finally permits us to use the term 'genocide'
It's not the World Court, non-western states, rights groups and Palestinians who have been using the term genocide 'too lightly'. It's the Guardian that's reached the same conclusion far, far too lateJonathan Cook
Harris "lost because, if your political and media system – rigged by donors – limits the choice to two hardline neoliberal candidates, with anything else denounced as “communism”, the most hardline, neoliberal candidate has an edge."

It's time to stop buying into tooth-fairy politics. No one's bringing salvation
Trump or Harris, a further slide towards authoritarianism and repression was on the cards. A corrupt, failed system won't admit its mistakes. It will find scapegoats.Jonathan Cook
