quote:

THE NEW YORK TIMES instructed journalists covering Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip to restrict the use of the terms “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” and to “avoid” using the phrase “occupied territory” when describing Palestinian land, according to a copy of an internal memo obtained by The Intercept.

The memo also instructs reporters not to use the word Palestine “except in very rare cases” and to steer clear of the term “refugee camps” to describe areas of Gaza historically settled by displaced Palestinians expelled from other parts of Palestine during previous Israeli–Arab wars. The areas are recognized by the United Nations as refugee camps and house hundreds of thousands of registered refugees.

The Isreali war against " ". At this point, they should just not cover it at all and act as if nothing was happening, that would be a more effective form of gaslighting.

Here's a senior British journalist apologising profusely for hinting in an interview that Israel killing all those Palestinian kids could be viewed as being murder-adjacent:

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/apr/15/nick-robinson-israel-gaza-interview-bbc-david-cameron

quote:

Nick Robinson has said he “should have been clearer” when describing Israeli attacks in Gaza as “murders”, and that his words did not represent his or the BBC’s view.

The veteran broadcaster faced criticism for his choice of language during an interview with the foreign secretary, David Cameron, on the UK’s position after Iran’s attack on Israel over the weekend.

Downing Street said Rishi Sunak would not have used the word “murder” to describe deaths in Gaza, when asked about the BBC Radio 4 Today programme interview, and suggested that people should be “careful with their words”.

The prime minister has repeatedly said that there have been too many civilian deaths in Gaza, while maintaining that Israel has the right to defend itself.

Metrophanes, Chi Sung

en.m.wikipedia.org posted:

Metrophanes, Chi Sung (Cháng Yángjí,常楊吉, his Chinese name is also sometimes translated as Tsi Chung) or Mitrophan (December 10, 1855 – June 10, 1900) was the first Chinese Eastern Orthodox priest to be martyred. He was killed with his family members and church followers in 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion. He is the best known of some 222 Holy Chinese Martyrs glorified in August 2000 by the Eastern Orthodox Church. Metrophanes was stabbed in the chest by a crowd of rebels. Also considered martyrs are his wife Tatiana, whose Chinese name was Li, his sons, 23-year-old Isaiah and eight-year-old John, and Isaiah's nineteen-year-old fiancee Maria, who were all killed with him.

If Hamas unconditionally surrenders and Iran has a colour revolution that installs a pro-Western regime, then Israel will no longer feel threatened and will voluntarily stop stealing land and killing people. Easy peasy!

she did more in her almost two months in office than the entire british republican movement has managed in 200 years. to call her a massive idiot failure is pure misogyny.

Probably not, but that doesn't mean it's good. IIRC, that system encourages Johns to behave even more like criminals because they need to hide what they're doing/have more to lose if found out, which makes sex work more dangerous and encourages sex trafficking.

I’m not saying there should be legal penalties, but it should be fine to mock. Most sex worker customers are gross. Some, I assume, are good people.
