20 years ago today, Robin Cook delivered a powerful resignation speech that tried to stop the Iraq War.

YES - see below
UK media - particularly @BBC - has been SHAMEFUL in coverage of Gaza
This information should have been highlighted in headlines and in, say, "big interview" daily at 8.10 on @BBCr4today
BBC has manufactured CONSENT for GENOCIDE, or at the very least SILENCE
In the absence of any spine in taking on Israeli Gaza atrocities in most of our media, it is left to @PrivateEyeNews to reveal this sort of information that would once have received in depth coverage @BBCPanorama & Sunday Times Insight. Even now when the true scale of the Gaza Genocide is becoming widely recognised, @BBCNews and most newspapers shamefully recycle IDF propaganda without fact checking or critical investigation.

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.
Bafta and Oscar winning : BEST DOCUMENTARY.

Hey @BBCNews, just as you always refer to Hamas being designated a terrorist organisation in UK, please now always refer to Netanyahu being wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the ICC, the world’s top criminal court

Israel & its proxies are creating the blueprint for the 21st Century by bulldozing the boundaries of acceptable state behavior. If systematic torture, summary executions, massacres, murder of children, doctors, journalists, humanitarians & all civilians are acceptable, if international law is no longer in effect, if apartheid & genocide are now ok, we are all in trouble. (And Israeli proxies are also eroding free speech & human rights across the West). 193 governments are watching. Don’t kid yourself. You could be next. Isolate the Israeli regime. Arrest its leaders. Deploy a protection force. Stop it here & now.

We expected to have to dedicate considerable resources to identify the soldiers featured in the photos and videos.
What we found was that, for the most part, soldiers posted material in their own names on publicly accessible platforms.
