Die Idee finde ich gut.
Die " #Informationsversorgung" ist nicht nur in #Deutschland gestört.
Die #USA und das #VereinigteKönigreich gehören u. a. auch dazu.
Es ist, ebenso wie die Übernahme von #Twitter durch den #Rechtsextremen #ElonMusk, jedoch 👉überhaupt kein Zufall 👈.

How is it that the centerpiece of the former global #BritishEmpire keeps being dragged into wars that are not in the interest of the #British people, at least not the general public?

Peter Oborne, _Complicit: Britain's Role in the Destruction of Gaza_ (OR Books, 2025)
https://orbooks.com/catalog/complicit/
• 360 pages
• Paperback ISBN 9781682194263
• E-book ISBN 9781682194522>> In a gripping narrative informed by original reporting, Peter Oborne tells how Britain’s Conservative and Labour parties converged to back Israel’s criminal assault—in the process occupying disturbing common ground with the far right.
>> Rather than challenge this political cartel, British media colluded in its misrepresentations… as British authorities helped Israel set #Gaza as well as international law aflame, almost everything the public was told about this momentous conflagration was untrue…

Britain’s role in the destruction of Gaza
Talk by author and journalist Peter Oborne on 21st
January 2026
We have posted a number of items on this site about the horrific events in Gaza and the West Bank. 109 vigils have now taken place in Salisbury attended by many concerned at the scale of death and destruction which has taken place. The current phase started with the horrific attack by Hamas on 7th October 2023 in which over 1,200 Israelis were killed and 251 hostages seized. The conflict has deeper roots however going back to the formation of Israel in 1948 and the ensuing killing and displacement of many hundreds of thousands of Arabs and Palestinians: the number is put at between 750,000 and 1 million. Many of those displaced ended up in Gaza. We can go back even further to the Balfour Declaration in 1917.
Gaza is now a wasteland. Over 71,000 have died and around 171,000 injured many with serious wounds. Israel has just revoked the licenses of 37 aid organisations including MSF. There is a peace arrangement of sorts but there does not seem to be any realistic prospect of a permanent end to the hostilities. Israel is the local super power with a considerable armoury of the latest weapons including the F-35 jet. About 15% of the parts for the fighter are made in the UK. Statements from leading Israeli politicians do not show signs of a compromise. The prospects for a Palestinian state look remote.
Complicit
Peter Oborne’s new book ‘Complicit’ looks at Britain’s role in the conflict and the destruction of Gaza. There are two main threads in his book: the role of the government and secondly, the treatment and reporting by the British press and media including the BBC. Part of the way it is reported concerns the language used. We have noted on this site that Hamas seized 251 ‘hostages’ which is correct, but seizures by IDF soldiers of Palestinians are referred to as ‘prisoners’ implying some kind of legal process has taken place. It hasn’t, and over a thousand have been imprisoned and tortured in a variety of prisons with no charges made and no judicial process taking place.
Oborne (pictured: image New Statesman) refers to what he term ‘two tier reporting’. For example the BBC used the word ‘massacre’ eighteen times more for Israeli victims than Palestinian despite the massive difference in numbers. Israel is always described as responding to violence never to initiating it. ‘BBC’s coverage of Gaza has been a reporting disaster and a moral calamity’ he says. They are not the only ones and the roll call of biased reporting includes much of Fleet St and the media more widely.
Chapters include ‘The Pro-Israel Lobby in Britain’, ‘British Complicity Before October 7th’, ‘Moral Panic at Westminster’.
The Event
The talk will take place on Wednesday 21st January starting at 7pm. It will be held at the Salisbury Methodist Church in St Edmund’s Church Street and is free with a parting collection. There is disabled access and the car park is nearby.

#BorisJohnson wants to destroy the #Britain I love. I cannot vote 'Conservative | #PeterOborne | Opinion | The Guardian
What sort of time are we living in when an arch-Tory like Oborne can’t bring himself to vote for hiis own party? He’s not even centre-right.
