Ian Hislop on #hignfy “The tipping point of the war is now that three British aid workers have been killed in the war whereas 30,000 Palestinians killed in the war” Grim but true, if you kill people who are not Palestinians, then suddenly it becomes unacceptable”
@deirdreheenan Not quite accurate. These were blond, blue eyed Westerners. Hence the uproar
@deirdreheenan @Hafiz_Ather Less than 30 seconds to highlight the truth!
@deirdreheenan Aid workers from WCK have also been targeted & killed by russia in Ukraine. Strange it hasn't received the coverage or outrage. Why would that be?
@deirdreheenan Nothing new as way back Not the Nine 0 Clock news & others have sketches with 9k dead BUT 3 WERE BRITISH!!!!
@deirdreheenan Very late on this post Deirdre but let's be honest Ian only 6 weeks ago had the opportunity to highlight the genocide in Palestine by the Israelis on question time... At that stage it wasn't the easy thing to do until as he mentions his self British citizens are now murdered.
@deirdreheenan The devaluing of Palestinian lives is the worst thing about it. And it's done mostly by so-called religious people who purport to be Christians and Jews.
@deirdreheenan I'd wager it's far more than 32k dead. There are untold numbers of bodies buried under the rubble of destroyed apartments blocks and other buildings.
@deirdreheenan I remember an old joke: Journalist: What are you 2 planning? PoliticianA: WWIII J: Why? How? PoliticianB: 1st, we'll kill 5mio pple and a dentist. bewildered J: Why a dentist? PA to PB: Haha, see? I told you they instantly forget the millions, if you just add 'and a dentist'.
