The NHS Is Already Disappearing, and There’s Only One Way to Stop It

After Palestinians Buried Their Martyrs, Western Media Buried Israel’s Crimes
Hammam Chott is famed in UK media as the Tunis cemetery where Jeremy Corbyn supposedly laid a wreath to terrorists. But “wreathgate” was a lie — and it erased the real crime that happened here on October 1, 1985, when Israeli jets murdered 60 people.
