“More than 100 BBC employees are accusing the corporation of providing favourable coverage toward Israel and are calling on the broadcaster to ‘recommit to fairness, accuracy, and impartiality’ over its reporting on Gaza.

“In a letter sent to Tim Davie, signed by more than 230 members of the media industry, including 101 anonymous BBC staff, the corporation is criticised for failing its own editorial standards by lacking ‘consistently fair and accurate evidence-based journalism in its coverage of Gaza’”.

I lived the last 7 years of my life away from my family, friends so I could work and get a small sum of money that would help me get married and help my family in life. I was working as a sales representative in a company outside my country.

In fact, I was about to be married to my life partner and lover, Aya, who is 20 years old. [W]e were preparing for our beautiful marriage before the war broke out, exploding our hearts and dreams and ending my professional career.

The […] occupation prevented us from completing our ceremony, which we had dreamed of. We had drawn, planned, and dreamed, but all of this was soon destroyed, and our thoughts and plans instead became: how can we survive this nightmare that has befallen us?

[…]

You will help us flee to a safe place with your help (even by donating $5, $10, ...)

Thank for Leslie Marie. She will help us receive donations through her bank account in America, and then she will transfer them to us through my brother’s bank account.

Finally, thank you so much for contributing to saving the life of me and my family. You will help us escape death, starting with a new temporary hope in Egypt and bringing safety. Please, do kindly share this with your network on social media and those you know. I would be thankful.

(Emphasis original.)

An important reminder to us all by Caitlin Johnstone. Feel your feelings but don't let yourself be demoralized into inaction. I highly recommend that you read more of her articles if you find the time, she is really good.
