For once, the BBC aired a documentary showing Israeli society’s dark underbelly. The backlash is not because Louis Theroux got it wrong. It’s because his film tells us far too much about ourselves.

The BBC’s role is not to keep viewers informed. It’s to persuade them a clear crime against humanity by Israel is, in fact, highly complicated geopolitics they cannot hope to understand.
Nineteen months into Israel’s slaughter of Gaza’s children, moral ghouls like Simon Shama and Simon Sebag Montefiore are still being given a platform to smear as ‘antisemites’ opponents of genocide.
This is my expert statement submitted to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper as part of Hamas’ legal appeal against its proscription as a terror group under UK law.
The media’s role is to disorientate us, so we disbelieve what we can see with our own eyes: that there is a genocide going on, and our own leaders are actively assisting it.
Israel’s execution of 15 emergency workers a month ago is incontrovertibly established. So why are the Guardian and other outlets still so ready to fudge the issue?
The left and right take the same reality-based view of the world but respond to it in different moral terms. Liberals, on the other hand, live in an alternate universe – of pure make-believe.
Israel has justified bombing a Gaza hospital because an injured Hamas politician was there. The laws of war only ever seem to be forgotten when it is Israel violating them.
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 genocide.
It is President Trump and his administration that must be held responsible for every Palestinian death from here on out.
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 possible
One of the biggest lies promoted by the US and Israel is the pretence that, in slaughtering Gaza’s children, Israel has been acting in the interests of Israelis held in the enclave.
Walter Salles’ new film on the disappearances of regime critics in 1970s Brazil is a powerful reminder that the ghouls who defend the slaughter in Gaza are biding their time
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 it.
I was an eyewitness to events on Saturday. The Metropolitan force are lying when they claim the ex-Labour leader and MP John McDonnell forced their way through a police cordon.
Estimates are that it will take 80 years to rebuild Gaza. How is a ‘sovereign and viable Palestinian state’, or a ‘better future’, going to emerge out of ruins on that scale?
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 up.
