This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

  1. 💔 Why do we allow this to continue? Why are mortal, evil men such as Netanyahu, trump, putin allowed to keep going, while millions suffer under them?

  2. Beyond devastating. History will not look on this kindly. Feels similar to the Holodomer famine that was purposely rigged by Russia to eliminate Ukraine.

  3. ◻️

    Who unless cold and heartless does not suddenly find a tear in the eye.

    But this isn't, as Emma describes, a war. There was a breakout and a massacre & the response of a heavily armed state.

    It is very much more like the demented response of the Nazi to the Warsaw Ghetto or the Warsaw Uprising.

  4. Israel and its supporters say that if they really wanted to pursue ethnic cleansing, then they could do so at the blink of an eye. These scenes however provide clear and compelling evidence of a calculated and cynical plan to wipe away any trace of the Palestinians from their land.

  5. "one day, we will all always have been against this". Shame it's taken so long for a mainstream news org to be able to report that Israel is deliberately targeting hospitals and schools, and that is a war crime and that not be a controversial take.

  6. trump is destroying America to enrich himself Netanyahu is destroying Gaza to enrich himself

    Both are career criminals Both have avoided accountability, avoided jail

    The wealthy taking care of their own.

    Enough is enough

  7. That land will B cursed 2 anyone but Palestinians living there. 1 of my subjects as a kid in HS I really researched was the Holocaust & the horrors that happened 2 people by the Germans & Hitler. I could never have imagined that history repeating by the same people who's families were persecuted 💔

  8. Biden/Sullivan/Austin/Trump/Vance/Hegseth should all be under The Hague. The entire IDF, Likud and Knesset should be there as well.

  9. It’s not really a war, it’s razing an entire stretch of land to the ground using western ammunition and money. Maybe a nice soft description like “Clearance & Plantation” might make it a bit less horrific for whiteys.

  10. On Google maps, whenever new satellite images replace old ones, the erasure can be seen side by side with the adjacent older photo. I don't know how frequently they update.

    Left side, older google map of suburban area of central Gaza, on the right, later erasure of the terrain.

  11. There is very little difference between the Nazi genocide of the Jewish people and the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people. No, that is not antisemitic. It is a statement of fact. Genocide is genocide. And the whole world watches while the USA funds it.

  12. Never forget Trump’s ‘Trump Gaza’ video of billionaires acting like Sodom and Gomorrah❗️

    Never normalize Trump’s Cruelty and heartless Greed!

    Starving, innocent people to grab their land and line his pockets with gold❗️

  13. Destruction of Gaza 😞 "A stain on humanity will endure"

    ĭn-shä′lə 🙏🏻 Palestinians will soon return to their Homeland 🌴and be Free 🕊️ safe from any more evil harm ☮️

  14. Not to diminish the reporting or the package (it's actually a model package in so many ways) but we once had reels like this on the nightly news every day. Back in the day this was the benchmark. Journalism has declined significantly since the early 2000s. Nice to see a package of this caliber.

  15. Absolute bollocks to be fair.. WE have known what’s been going on for ten months, so have the BBC and ITV journalists. Only now the tide is turning these shithouses come out of their holes.

  16. En nog steeds geen acties richting Israël die hen afschrikken om verder te gaan met de genocide.

  17. No wonder Israel is trying to hide this. Their barbarity is despicable beyond words. True monsters.

  18. Powerful reporting

    Netanyahu/Israel govt are committing genocide. Atrocious.

    Trump admin can stop Israel if they choose to. But, won’t bc Trump doesn’t see people suffering.

    He sees land for “Riviera of the Middle East” though rebranded under new proposal: US buys Gaza to create a “freedom zone”

  19. What hamas did on Oct 7 was clearly unforgivable terrorism.

    Netanyahoo has exacted Israel’s revenge a long time ago. Bibi is clearly a war criminal for the obvious genocide/ethnic cleansing.

    The fact that the continuing Israeli atrocity is supported by trump/USA shames me as an American.

  20. These scenes inevitably invoke memories of the devastation caused to Hiroshima and Nagasaki 80 years ago this week. There is one country in the world that is the common denominator in the Atomic Bomb and the #Gaza #Holocaust stories. That is the #USA, provider of the weapons used in all three.

  21. bbix.bsky.social profile picture

    We paid for this so our president could help his son in law sell waterfront property … obscene, yes killing and starving 2M people, yes.

  22. I am grateful you got the images out. Your reporting is well done and jarring as it should be.

  23. In addition to the humanitarian tragedy just think about what this has done to the built environment. Where will people live and work, how will they get the resources to rebuild, what about the carbon footprint of all that concrete now destroyed that should have lasted for hundreds of years.

  24. Thank you. The United States is just as culpable as Israel in this genocide. Shame on Biden and shame on Trump.

  25. Israel is committing war crimes. Why’s Benjamin Netanyahu allowed to travel to the U.S. multiple times, after the International Court issued an arrest warrant for him. The man needs to be arrested, & sent to The Hague. #BenjaminNetanyahuIsAWarCriminal

  26. We forget that #Gaza is smaller than many UK cities. It's now a pile of rubble. Imagine. The shame of us having watched its demise

  27. At the start of the genocide Hasan Piker began raising the alarm and there was an incident when Israel dropped a bomb on the parking lot of a hospital, and the newsmedia, pundits, and liberals attacked him, saying it was clearly an accident. The world just let this happen.

  28. And when those generations of British children grow up to learn that their government armed and participated in the destruction of a people and their homes and land, what will those children think?

  29. Now Bibi said he wants to fully occupy Gaza- so he means to kill them all??? how can Israelis be ok with this? People are people - how can the world tolerate this? They are trapped. And the West Bank is also getting over run

  30. The British government knew this but did nothing more than wring its hands and supply more weapons, because it doesn’t have a spine and the arms trade has got to survive somehow…

  31. This will not end, the western governments are seemingly ok with this. Unfortunately for Palestinians they have the wrong colour skin, the wrong religion and not enough lobby groups in western governments. USA will block any justice from the ICJ

  32. So many people came out of the woodwork after the famine pictures were released. Like the bombing and shooting was ok. Apparently there's an acceptable level of genocide.

  33. Absolutely horrifying and terrifying. It's just unfathomable that our governments enable this and we're essentially powerless to stop it.

  34. Zionists will never now be able to make any reference to the Holocaust, without making everyone think of Gaza. The greatest horror your people suffered will now just make everyone think of what you did to someone else. Every Holocaust movie & documentary will just make the audience think of Gaza.

    0
  35. It's the responsibility of the rest of the world to rebuild Gaza and to prevent Israel and its proxy, the US, from ever doing this again.

    0
  36. Yet, watching the UN Security Council yesterday, U.S. and Israeli administration wilfully tried once again to paint a different picture.

    0
  37. This will never be forgotten

    and Israel will never be forgiven

    Israel is now a pariah state. The whole world hates Israel's fucking guts.

  38. There's many an itv news items I'd have liked to have shared out, but the share link button refuses every attempt (android with itv news app)

  39. Israel owns the world. They own America and its leaders. They have dirt on powerful leaders like the Epstein files and more on Donald Trump, Clinton and others. Therefore they can keep accepting our ''help" (weapons) to keep killing the people in GAZA. How long are we gonna watch them do a genocide?

  40. A holocaust that largely has been embraced by the world for fear of offending - and that, in itself, is what is so obscenely and grotesquely offensive.

  41. Sure looks like Hamas was hiding in a lot of buildings, huh.

    And we just watch, like a bad movie, while an entire civilization is murdered, and allow fascists profiting off of it try to hide what they’re doing.

    I hope the people responsible have nightmares until they no longer breathe.

  42. That's what happens when you start & lose a war. Here's #Tokyo on March 9, 1945.

    #WWII #War

  43. Israel helped create Hamas. Funding from Oman. Netanyahu was directly involved. The west needs dictatorships and theocracies in west Asia and north Africa, not secular/republics. The world could not handle a united front btwn the West Bank and Gaza. Israel lost the PR war.

  44. When Netanyahu is through with the genocide in Gaza, the Felon Trump makes plans for the “Middle East Riviera" Who in their right mind would want to step foot on that ground after the horrors that have taken place there, murders and starvation of an entire population? They are monsters.

  45. Very struck by Emma's repeated use of the phrasing "we can't say what happened to [the citizens in the destroyed buildings]". I sense she is acutely aware of the double meaning (we don't know/we aren't allowed to say) and chooses her words pointedly. Important and brave piece of television.
