Speaking outside 10 Downing Street during an emergency protest for Palestine on Friday 25 May, British journalist Owen Jones delivered a blistering condemnation of the UK government and mainstream media, accusing them of complicity in what he described as “genocidal depravity” in Gaza. He criticised the government’s continued export of arms and intelligence support to Israel, asserting that those responsible should face legal consequences for enabling war crimes.
Jones also targeted the silence of major British media figures, arguing that passive complicity and fear of professional backlash have allowed one of the gravest humanitarian crises of this era to unfold unchallenged.
