Itβs worse than βGaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.β Itβs that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

At least four linguistic tricks going on here:
1) foregrounding with Iran war which the BBC depicts as just
2) passive voice 'have been killed' - by who, may we ask?
3) 'Hamas-run health ministry' - casting doubt/diverting sympathy
4) 'under review' - casting further doubt

I don't get very far through most doctoral advice because it usually starts with something like 'remember to not work weekends and evenings...' by contrast this is really well tailored and useful (watched, in classic part-time fashion, in a Eurostar passport queue)
