i wonder; when (and if) the dust settles over the genocide if the bbc and other publications like the ny times will go back to business as usual.
it get that it's a natural inclination to say yes because we've always done so in the past; but we have the horrors of this genocide reported to the general public on social media instead of a few channels patroned by intellectuals and no one else.

Well with the bbc it's essential state run propaganda machine so as long as Britain is on the wrong side of history it'll stay like that, until 50 years down the line when greater Israel has been formed and many millions of dead are investigated and brought to light, BBC will have "internal" investigation and say something like "never again" it's all bullshit

They did it after Iraq. Possibly more younglings have learned this time. But do not underestimate the stupidity of boomers.

... Possibly more younglings have learned this time ...
no, they haven't,, they've gotten more conservative; if my sizeable millennial and genz family members are any indication.
in my youth; we would dance & drink the night away on holidays like xmas and easter. the younger generations want to go to church and have the children give thanks to jesus; we're growing more conservative as a country.

These bourgeois outlets have always been boosters for imperialism, and there’s no reason to believe they’ll suddenly change. The media figures who pushed for the Iraq war got promotions and are still working today, while people like Chris Hedges are blacklisted for life.

in the meantime i get blacklisted for asking my colleagues if our work was a detriment to humanity (software development for online gambling) and i get blacklisted for reporting my employer for retribution to my state's labor relations board; i had to move to the other side of the country to find work again.
