Important and powerful piece about the west’s complicity with atrocities in Gaza and our “moral collapse” in the face of unimaginable horror. “We find ourselves in an unprecedented situation. Never before have so many witnessed an industrial-scale slaughter in real time.” lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…
Really @louistheroux ?? You’ve just lost all credibility at attempting to approach the truth, ever. You’ve just posted an insanely propagandized article that omits all relevant context from every single event - most importantly that anything done by the Jews or Israelis was a result of programs and massacres the Arabs had inflicted on the Jews first. Every single thing. What bullshit
@louistheroux Why then did Keir Starmer, a former human rights lawyer, assert that Israel has the right to ‘withhold power and water’ from Palestinians? Why did Germany feverishly start selling more arms to Israel
I would have thought that as a documentary film maker you would be able to understand what is happening here. Didn’t it ever puzzle you that in no other war in modern times did the media receive or print so many “intimate pictures” of injured and suffering people? Usually we get shown collapsed buildings and tanks. I have hardly seen pictures of dead children in Ukraine. Did you never ask yourself what gave Hamas the confidence to start a war against a first class army like the IDF? Did Hamas have some kind of super weapon in the tunnels that made Sinwar so confident? No. Hamas’ super weapon are people like you who gobbled up images, numbers and statements that they provided you with. I somehow doubt that you want to be a tool of the IRGC, but maybe you do, because I used your think you were quite smart.
@louistheroux Sad, but not surprising, to see Louis Theroux promoting a racist, Neo-Nazi screed. I respond to some of the worst aspects of it here: x.com/shelleygldschm…

@louistheroux @LaylaMoran No it isnt. Rather a disgraceful, fatuous and clumsy exercise in false equivalence lifting the term " industrial scale" from its proper use for what the Nazis did to the Gaza tragedy while it " rescues" memory of the Shoah from Zionism while ignoring two millenia of Jew hatred.
@louistheroux This is like reading complaints against the "atrocities" we committed on Nazi Germany.
@louistheroux So good to hear you speak out. It's very hard in the face of the abuse, aggression and cold cynicism we receive when we do. These atrocities in Gaza are unimaginable. And we all watch powerlessly.
@louistheroux Only if you're under 30. Many of us have witnessed a lot more, and are witnessing it now in other countries, you just don't look there.
