Complicit

From one of Britains most celebrated political journalists, a fearless and forensic indictment of British complicity in the destruction of Gaza.In a gripping narrative informed by original reporting, Peter Oborne tells how Britains Conservative and Labour parties converged to back Israels criminal assaultin the process occupying disturbing common ground with the far right.Rather than challenge this political cartel, British media colluded in its misrepresentations. The shocking result was that, as British authorities helped Israel set Gaza as well as international law aflame, almost everything the public was told about this momentous conflagration was untrue.When citizens still turned out in their hundreds of thousands to demand a ceasefire, roiling the nations politics as they stayed faithful to the ancient British tradition of popular protest in defence of liberty, the political-media machine bared its fangs. The investigative reporting in this book exposes the methods by which peaceful demonstrations were smeared as hate marches.Formerly chief political commentator at theDaily TelegraphandSpectator, Oborne knows the British establishment from within. In this book he names names and provides receipts. His demand is accountabilityfor atrocities, and their accomplices.
