Gaza March in London – One other enormous march by means of central London referred to as for a right away ceasefire and for an finish to the Israeli genocide in opposition to Palestinians.
I didn’t hear any information stories of the march, and over the previous few days different occasions have largely pushed reporting over the persevering with genocide to the sides of protection.
If something the deliberate focusing on of civilians in Gaza seems to have elevated because the ICJ ruling calling on Israel to do all it might to forestall genocide within the space.
Israel remains to be maintaining worldwide journalists out of Gaza and feeding the world’s press with deceptive data. The BBC have some good reporters however they can not work in Gaza. They’ve had interviews with some households and docs in Gaza – some now killed. Papers comparable to The Guardian additionally carry stories from folks in Gaza – comparable to Mondays Gaza diary half 44: ‘The angel of demise is roaming the skies, nonstop’. However to get actual details about what is definitely occurring on the bottom it’s essential additionally go to various information sources.
A type of is Double Down Information, who say “Far too many Journalists sit comfortably trapped in their very own bubble of privilege and energy, speaking to one another and the so-called political class, somewhat than serving the folks they’re meant to tell.” They intention to “prioritise folks, concepts, proof and neighborhood above all.” DDN carries no promoting however is supported by over fourteen thousand of subscribers who give what they’ll afford somewhat than being owned by governments or billionaires. And you’ll be one and turn out to be part of the neighborhood equally with the others.
One in every of their newest movies is ‘Israel’s AI Killing Machine‘ by Palestinian-American lawyer and activist Lara Elborno which exposes by how Israel is utilizing trendy expertise to focus on civilians throughout Gaza. Like different movies on the platform it supplies a chilling perception lacking within the mass media.
Earlier than penning this a couple of days in the past I learn Al Jazeera’s Israel Battle on Gaza protection, with its record of key occasions on day 123 printed on Tuesday sixth February. Underneath the Humanitarian disaster in Gaza it begins its report with “At the very least 27,478 folks have been killed and 66,835 wounded in Israeli assaults on Gaza since October 7.
It goes on to present different important information on the humanitarian disaster, earlier than information on Regional tensions and diplomacy and on what is occurring within the Occupied West Financial institution. Al Jazeera was the primary unbiased information channel within the Arab world and is funded by the Qatari state.
All photos listed here are from the march in London on Saturday third February 2024 which was I feel uneventful. It was actually giant and a number of other streets across the BBC have been densely crowded earlier than the beginning. I photographed the beginning after which slowly went down Regent Road with the marchers, stopping quite a lot of instances to {photograph} them as they walked previous me.
At Piccadilly Circus I determine to attend till the top of the march arrived there, and it was an extended wait. It was nearly two hours after the beginning of the march earlier than the top arrived, and most of that point the streets have been crowded throughout each carriageways with slowly shifting folks.
It was too late to be price attempting to get to the rally on Whitehall and so I started my journey dwelling. I uploaded 35 pictures to Alamy however later put these and round 35 extra into a web-based album Ceasefire Now – Cease The Genocide In Gaza.
