The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers. The video appears to contradict Israel’s version of events, which said the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals.

What we are witnessing is the normalisation of extremism. If we allow the right to pretend that the German AFD is just another conservative party... or that Donald Trump is just another president... or that Elon Musk was just getting carried away with that salute are on a distinctly dangerous path.

Seems that many of our esteemed commentariat and lines of Conservative politicians are quite happy to jump on the Musk-Robinson-Tate bandwagon if it suits their agenda - and a chance to damage Starmer and his credibility. You expect it from Farage but others behaving utterly appallingly.

Daily mail jumps on "far-Right bandwagon" - forgetting that we already had an inquiry which ran for 7 years under the previous Conservative Government and no action was taken.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.
