Recovering coloniser on stolen Gadigal land. He/any ND GM PhD ΙΧΘΥΣ Ethics is about asking good questions, not just reaching a good answer. For centuries people have debated: "is it ethical to steal bread if your family is starving?". But there's a more pressing question: "is it ethical to sell bread when people are starving?" "Let no-one say the past is dead, the past is all about us and within." – Oodgeroo Noonuccal "There is dignity, grace, and humanity in changing your mind" — Caitlyn Doughty “People have only as much liberty as they have the intelligence to want and the courage to take.” ― Emma Goldman "You were born at just the right moment to help change everything." — Eric Holthaus

The US Apache helicopter was in Iranian airspace when it was hit.
Has this simple fact been mentioned in any of the mainstream western media reporting on this latest round of escalation? Perhaps, but I haven't seen it.
A few days ago, Israel did not respond to Iranian aggression with a counter strike (as most mainstream media sources framed it). Iran was responding to Israel's ongoing aggression in southern Lebanon over the last few months, where the Israeli military has been bulldozing dozens of villages, killing well over 3,000 people (predominantly civilians), wounding more than ten thousand people, targeting (once more) medical facilities and first responders, displacing over 20% of the population, while announcing plans to make their occupation permanent. And Iran was responding specifically to Israel once more bombing a densely-populated part of Beirut.
For decades, western media have consistently misrepresented the aggressors (US-Israel) as the victims. Whenever one of the targets of their illegal expansionist/imperialist violence retaliates, this response/defence is treated as the originating act of aggression and (retrospective) _casus belli_.
History didn't start yesterday.

On the BBC website neither the main page nor even the UK news page report the anti far right Together march that took place in London today.
You have to filter all the way to England.
Mind you, that’s better than they did for Trans Pride which only showed on the London page.
A bit of a difference from how they covered the far right’s marches last year?
