As I presented my latest report at the UN two days ago, the US ambassador managed to be even more insulting than Israel’s. No small feat, given that Israeli representatives at UN in New York have long been second to none in diplomatic buffoonery.
At the UN on Monday, Israel's ambassador called @FranceskAlbs a fraud and a liar. The US representative called her a lunatic.
Her report documents nearly 300 journalists killed in Gaza. Of course, neither of them addressed it.
Then she answered.

For the first time, the British government has acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum.
So who did BBC Newsnight invite on to discuss what happened? Sergei Markov, Putin’s former spokesman.
Par for the course, says Nerve co-founder @carolecadwalla…

On the day after @peterjukes & I broke the story of Arron Banks’s covert meetings with the Russian ambassador, I was invited onto @BBCr4today to discuss it. Big news! Finally the chance to break through to a BBC audience. Only the interview was cancelled because they needed ‘someone from the other side’ & the Russian ambassador wasn’t available. Facts don’t have a side. It meant the BBC never covered the story. And here we are..
