Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian Territories, has called on countries to impose a full arms embargo as well as cut off trade and financial ties with Israel, which she alleged is waging a genocidal campaign in Gaza.
“Israel is responsible for one of the cruellest genocides in modern history,” Albanese said in a speech to the UN Human Rights Council.

Un biais cognitif, c’est comme un piège dans notre tête.
C’est quand notre cerveau fait une erreur sans qu’on s’en rende compte. Il croit qu’il pense bien, mais en fait, il se trompe un peu. C’est comme porter des lunettes qui changent un peu la réalité : on voit les choses d’une façon spéciale, mais pas toujours juste
🧃 1. Biais de confirmation
C’est quand tu penses qu’une chose est vraie, et tu cherches seulement ce qui te donne raison.
📌 Exemple :
Tu dis : “Le jus de pomme, c’est le meilleur !”
Alors tu écoutes seulement les copains qui disent “Oui, moi aussi j’adore !”
Mais tu ignores ceux qui préfèrent le jus d’orange.
⸻
🧒 2. Effet de groupe (ou biais de conformité)
C’est quand tu fais comme tout le monde, même si ce n’est pas ce que tu veux vraiment.
📌 Exemple :
Tu veux dessiner un chien, mais tous les autres dessinent des chats.
Alors tu dessines un chat aussi, juste pour être comme eux.
⸻
🍭 3. Biais d’ancrage
C’est quand la première chose qu’on te dit influence ce que tu crois, même si ce n’est pas logique.
📌 Exemple :
On te dit : “Ce bonbon coûte 10 dinars !”
Puis on te dit : “Mais je te le fais à 5 dinars, c’est une super affaire !”
Tu crois que c’est pas cher… alors qu’un bonbon de 5 dinars, c’est déjà beaucoup !
⸻
🧠 En résumé :
Les biais cognitifs, ce sont des façons bizarres ou trompeuses de penser.
Ils arrivent à tout le monde, même aux grands !
Mais quand on les connaît, on peut mieux réfléchir.

Amnesty International issued a report Thursday claiming a controversial Israeli- and U.S.-backed system to distribute aid in Gaza uses starvation tactics against Palestinians to continue to commit genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The U.K.-based human rights group condemned Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which the U.S. and Israel have backed to take over aid distribution in Gaza from a network led by the United Nations.
At least 15 Palestinians were killed earlier on Thursday in an Israeli attack targeting a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City. The victims include children who were burned to death.
Medical sources reported that 11 people were killed in the Israeli attack on the Mustafa Hafez School in the Al-Rimal neighborhood in western Gaza City.
Local sources reported the bombing caused a fire at the school, burning people alive.

Frustrated by Day 2’s failures, Lee planned a massive assault on the Union center, led by Longstreet, with Pickett’s fresh division, while Ewell renewed attacks on Culp’s Hill and Stuart’s cavalry probed the Union lines to the rear. Both commanders braced for a decisive confrontation under the sweltering July heat.
At 4:00 AM, Union XII Corps, under Brig. Gen. George S. Greene, launched a counterattack to reclaim Culp’s Hill trenches lost to Johnson’s Confederates on July 2nd.
After hours of mounted and dismounted fighting, and about 500 casualties, Stuart’s advance was halted. Securing Meade’s rear and foiling the Confederate flanking maneuver.
Late on July 3, Union cavalry under Brig. Gen. Elon Farnsworth, part of Kilpatrick’s division, launched a doomed charge against Longstreet’s right flank south of Big Round Top. Ordered to disrupt Confederate lines, Farnsworth’s 300 troopers faced Law’s infantry and artillery across rocky terrain.
The artillery duel, one of the war’s largest, set the stage for Lee’s climactic assault, as both sides braced for the decisive moment, Pickett’s Charge.
At 3:00 PM, 12,500 Confederates—Pickett’s, Pettigrew’s, and Trimble’s divisions—emerged from Seminary Ridge for Pickett’s Charge. Advancing a mile across open fields, they faced a storm of Union artillery from Cemetery Ridge, led by Lt. Alonzo Cushing’s battery.
Lee’s army, with 28,000 losses, would retreat the next day, July 4th. Meade, with 23,000 casualties, did not pursue, sparking debate. Critics, including Lincoln, argued he missed a chance to crush Lee. Defenders cite Meade’s exhausted troops, low supplies, and Lee’s still-formidable army, arguing caution preserved the victory.
Gettysburg shifted the war’s tide, but Meade’s restraint, praised by some and scorned by others, left the Confederacy’s in tact dragging the war on for two more years.

You can't get any more "impartial" than the forensic methodology of this documentary, but we've gotten to the point where any objectivity when it comes to Israel is considered "partiality" against them.

'More than a hundred BBC employees have written a letter to the director general, Tim Davie, complaining that the Corporation has become a mouthpiece for Israel.
It was also signed by 300 other journalists and media professionals: one of them was yours truly. The BBC employees, as you would expect, are all anonymous, because otherwise they would face grave consequences to their careers.
The letter says:
We’re writing to express our concerns over opaque editorial decisions and censorship at the BBC on the reporting of Israel/Palestine. We believe the refusal to broadcast the documentary ‘Gaza: Medics Under Fire’ is just one in a long line of agenda driven decisions. It demonstrates, once again, that the BBC is not reporting “without fear or favour” when it comes to Israel.
It goes on to note that the decision not to broadcast the investigation was taken by BBC management despite the content being signed off in accordance with BBC guidelines and editorial policy, which it says “Appears to be a political decision”, adding that the BBC response shows the organisation “is crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government.”'

An Open Letter to BBC Management, Written by BBC Journalists and Signed by Media Industry Professionals
A message to the BBC Director General, the Board of Governors and our BBC Colleagues.
We’re writing to express our concerns over opaque editorial decisions and censorship at the BBC on the reporting of Israel/Palestine. We believe the refusal to broadcast the documentary ‘Gaza: Medics Under Fire’ is just one in a long line of agenda driven decisions. It demonstrates, once again, that the BBC is not reporting “without fear or favour” when it comes to Israel.
We understand that a decision not to broadcast the investigation has been taken by senior BBC management despite the film’s content being signed off in accordance with BBC guidelines and editorial policy. This appears to be a political decision and is not reflective of the journalism in the film. A recent statement from the BBC said broadcasting the film “risked creating the perception of partiality".This illustrates precisely what many of us have experienced first hand: an organisation that is crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government.
We are not asking the BBC to take a side. We are asking to be allowed to do our jobs in delivering facts transparently and with due context. For many of us, our efforts have been frustrated by opaque decisions made at senior levels of the BBC without discussion or explanation. Our failures impact audiences. As an organisation we have not offered any significant analysis of the UK government's involvement in the war on Palestinians. We have failed to report on weapons sales or their legal implications. These stories have instead been broken by the BBC’s competitors.
This hasn’t happened by accident, rather by design. Much of the BBC’s coverage in this area is defined by anti-Palestinian racism. The inconsistent manner in which guidance is applied draws into focus the role of Sir Robbie Gibb, on the BBC Board and BBC’s Editorial Standards Committee. We are concerned that an individual with close ties to the Jewish Chronicle, an outlet that has repeatedly published anti-Palestinian and often racist content, has a say in the BBC's editorial decisions in any capacity, including the decision not to broadcast ‘Gaza: Medics Under Fire’.
This conflict of interest highlights a double standard for BBC content makers who have themselves experienced censorship in the name of ‘impartiality’. In some instances staff have been accused of having an agenda because they have posted news articles critical of the Israeli government on their social media. By comparison, Gibb remains in an influential post with little transparency regarding his decisions despite his ideological leanings being well known. We can no longer ask license fee payers to overlook Gibbs’ ideological allegiances.
Since October 2023 it has become increasingly clear to our audiences that the BBC’s reporting on Israel / Palestine falls short of our own editorial standards. There is a gulf between the BBC’s coverage of what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank and what our audiences can see is happening via multiple credible sources including human rights organisations, staff at the UN and journalists on the ground. Whilst there has been some exceptional content from some areas of the BBC (within documentary and from some individual correspondents for example), news in particular has failed to report the reality and the context of the war on Palestinians. All too often it has felt that the BBC has been performing PR for the Israeli government and military. This should be a cause of great shame and concern for everyone at the BBC.
Despite these failings, there has been a major shift within public discourse in recent months. Increasingly the scale of Israel's crimes against the Palestinians are being understood by the public as well as many of our parliamentarians. The BBC’s editorial decisions seem increasingly out of step with reality. We have been forced to conclude that decisions are made to fit a political agenda rather than serve the needs of audiences. As industry insiders and as BBC staff, we have experienced this first hand. The issue has become even more urgent with recent escalations in the region. Again, BBC coverage has appeared to downplay Israel's role, reinforcing an ‘Israel first’ framing that compromises our credibility.
We, the undersigned BBC staff, freelancers and industry figures are extremely concerned that the BBC’s reporting on Israel and Palestine continues to fall short of the standards our audiences expect. We believe the role of Robbie Gibb, both on the Board, and as part of the Editorial Standards Committee, is untenable. We call on the BBC to do better for our audiences and recommit to our values of impartiality, honesty and reporting without fear or favour.
