Words are important. In times of war, their importance is magnified.

Never has my mission for Jonny Gould’s Jewish State seemed more urgent - to combat the slurs, the lies and the distortions of history which threaten Israel and Jewish people.

The media has a responsibility - at the very least not to fan conjecture and untruths because it comes with a by product, incitement.

It is a column found to be woefully short of moral purpose.

100,000 felt emboldened to head for Central London in support of Hamas, which prompted a disagreement between the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman and the chief of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Mark Rowley about the small amount of arrests. We hear from Sir Mark as he left the meeting.

And when the world’s lead international politician finds!ways to blame Israel for the massacres perpetrated against them, you might wonder whether the world is ranged against Israel, holding the Jewish state to a different standard. The butchery, rape, kidnapping seems to be given an excuse.

We hear from UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak confirm the media’s scandalous rush to parrot Hamas’ claim that Israel had bombed a Gazan hospital as a lie.

Mr Sunak visited Israel to show moral support for Israel and his opposite number, Benjamin Netanyahu, we hear from both at a Jerusalem news conference.

UN secretary general Antonio Gutteres said Hamas’ butchery didn’t come “in a vacuum”.

The resolve to destroy Hamas, the dismissal of calls for “proportionality” and for a ceasefire have caused outrage in Israel. You’ll hear from Israel’s foreign minister, Eli Cohen.
