This is all of a part with the media's consistent downplaying of the Gaza slaughter and its protection of the British government's complicity, whether under the Tories or Labour.

A retired transplant surgeon tells of the horrors he witnessed volunteering in Gaza, including Israeli snipers regularly shooting a single bullet into children's heads. It's not the first time he's spoken out. He joined 29 other returning UK health professionals in describing Israel's genocidal acts in a letter to Keir Starmer last August, urging him to end arms sales to Israel. If you didn't know that, that's because almost every single UK media outlet ignored their testimony, including the Guardian website, which finally published Dr Mamode's account this weekend. As these medical personnel pointed out the time, given that they were among the very few neutral outside observers allowed into Gaza (foreign journalists were barred), that omission was astonishing. Dr Mamode himself finally broke through the wall of silence in mid-November, but only because he was invited to testify before a parliamentary committee. This is all of a part with the media's consistent downplaying of the Gaza slaughter and its protection of the British government's complicity, whether under the Tories or Labour. In other words, our supposedly free media has chosen to cover up Israel's all-too-obvious crimes against humanity. Why? Because the corporate media really serves the British establishment, and the British establishment was happy to support a genocide in Gaza – and will again, as soon as Netanyahu breaks the ceasefire.
