"'We have not decided not to supply weapons. We have supplied weapons and we will supply weapons,' Scholz told parliament at an event to commemorate the victims of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, countering an accusation from opposition leader Friedrich Merz*."

"Commenting on the fall in exports, the German government has said there is no arms export boycott on Israel, and export permits are issued case-by-case after careful review, taking into account international law, foreign policy and security considerations."

Inside Western media’s reporting on Gaza | The Listening Post

Over the past year, for the Palestinians of Gaza, "[genocide] again" has become reality - mass casualties broadcast almost in real time by its victims.

This film is about an alternative version of that reality - the one told by major Western news organisations - and how it has provided cover for Israel's war on Gaza.

Based on interviews with more than a dozen insiders, it lifts the curtain on the inner workings of agenda-setting outlets like CNN, the BBC and The New York Times.

Two injured in Jordan by shrapnel during Iran's attack on Israel
(Middle East Eye, 2024-10-01)

"Missile interceptions were reported over Jordan's skies during the attack.

"The interior ministry said shrapnel fell in the capital Amman, and the cities of Balqa, Zarqa, Madaba, and Karak."

I've been wondering what happens to the rest of "succesfully" intercepted missiles... 🤔
