are stopped by israel's iron dome air defense system and hundreds have fallen inside gaza itself. where u.s. diplomat how the armor has met palestinian president mahmoud abbas as part of an american effort to try to deescalate the crisis according to palestinian media about sas for the u.s. to intervene in what he called israeli aggression against the palestinian people the palestinian leader apparently indicated he is ready to work with international negotiators in peace talks but has also met israeli officials kerry for city is in west jerusalem with more now on the likelihood of an actual cease fire. when the security cabinet met on sunday there was some reporting that they were going to discuss moves towards a ceasefire which does seem to be very much israel's decision though if it does want to start talking about terms for ending the violence. is no reporting as yet as to what's being discussed now but yes and you know who is there with his

defense minister with the internal security agency chief the mossad intelligence agency chief the army chief and others i think one of the key things to look out for will be the humanitarian situation if the humanitarian corridor or does begin to be opened up into gaza sometime soon that could be a sign that things are starting at least to slow down certainly the americans are becoming slightly more vociferously in public about the urgency for that there was a state department statement talking about talks with the jordanians where both sides were urging for calm in that direction also the national security adviser jake sullivan tweeting that he'd been talking to both his israeli counterpart and the egyptian government about working quietly behind the scenes but intensively to try to bring an end to the fighting. meanwhile turkey's president says his u.s. counterpart joe biden has bloody hands for approving weapons sales to israel this

is biden comes under more fire from members of his own party over his reaction to the crisis house democrat russia simply wrote truth as she retreated an activist claiming that biden was cheering on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the committing of war crimes alexandria tasing sharing video of the destruction of the al-jazeera office in gaza wrote that it was happening with the support of the united states how can the biden administration credibly claim to stand up for human rights she asked and the 11 omar quoted independent senator bernie sanders. saying it was eagle for the u.s. to support human rights violations. for more let's go to our white house correspondent kimberly how can really i guess maybe we would have expected to hear criticism from the people we're hearing from are she to fly under a court has anyone omar and bernie sanders but what about other members of the

democratic party how much pressure is president biden coming. he's under an enormous amount of pressure well we might expect this from some of the more this criticism from some of the more vocal members of the progressive wing of the democratic party in the house of representatives that can be a little bit more boisterous and vocal if you will what we've also seen now are loud protests and expressions of concern coming from more than half of the democratic senators in the upper chamber of the u.s. congress the u.s. senate they are calling on the by an administration to broker a cease fire so this is certainly notable that so many democrats are criticizing members of their own party namely the administration and the u.s. president for his foreign policy with respect to israel and the palestinians they're accusing him namely of being one sided and this is something that the white

house press secretary jen psaki has been pushing back against when reporters in the white house briefing earlier asked whether or not the israeli military had overreacted she defended israel's right to self-defense and when it came to whether or not the united states should use its leverage to try and broker a cease fire is democratic politicians are calling for the white house press secretary said that instead they want to give quiet diplomacy a chance to work take a listen. what our role is is to play the most be as constructive as possible in deescalating the violence bringing an end to the conflict we've done again more than 60 calls over the past week with a range of partners in the region so our objective here our role is not to do political analysis or or or provide motivation for any actions but

to take steps we can take as a leader in the world as a as a country with deep relationships in the region to discourage the escalate the violence on the ground can really phone calls on why the the policy or one saying it but we've seen the u.s. for the 3rd time in a week to block the adoption of a joint u.n. security council statement calling for the violence to stall so what explanation is the u.s. giving for taking this action. well the united states is really using this as kind of an instance where it says that there needs to be more time and we're trying to get some clarity on that fact one point that i did forget to mention just a moment ago is that we were told by the u.s. president joe biden that he is having or has had a call with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and we are waiting a readout out of that call so that could offer some clarity into the motivations but you're right this is the 3rd time the united states has blocked international

efforts to issue a statement on the violence coming out of the u.n. security council with respect to the israeli military campaign on gaza which has disproportionately killed more palestinians than israelis this was drafted by china and norway tunisia and what we know is that not only has there been this reticence of the part of the united states to hold off on the statement but they're also pushing back on efforts to discuss this more broadly however it is going to be discussed on thursday at the u.n. general assembly can be held with the latest from the white house committee thank you. and still to come here on al-jazeera military violence against me and more civilians that leads to fresh sanctions as fears grow for people who have fled fighting in the town of minda and after being locked down and locked out for months britons finally head back to the inside of their pubs and restaurants.

oh it's one of the most recognized sites around the world saying for support from far and white but for the families back home it's more than just a football club and what is a policy should be left for. politics and. the passion and the politics of liverpool f.c. the defiance joint. part of the fans who make football series on al-jazeera. we tell the untold stories. we speak when others. because not all sides. no matter where it takes us a pretty familiar feeling syria have my eyes. and. impartial tell your

stories we are your voice your news. al-jazeera. growing got in the harsh and unforgiving circumstances children learn to play dangerous games they exist without studies that the store the house and take the worn down by frustration and broken promises young men living under the constant threat of imprisonment it took me to the keep going full time for them to regain control of their lives is when the boys returned prison life then out. on al-jazeera. which is the rose here it's a report on the people often ignored but who must be hurt how many other channels can you say will take their time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas of course we cover major global of trends but our passion lies in making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how the spying the young and the sahara legion and so many others you go to them you make

the efforts we care we stay. the earth the only. time now for a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera israel's military has carried out a wave of heavy air strikes on the gaza strip as the region's worst fighting in years and 2 is the 2nd week of a high rise building that housed gaza's religious affairs ministry was destroyed rockets fired from gaza have hit buildings in a number of cities in southern israel on monday injuring 17 people residential buildings were struck in the cities of ashdod and bush said the people running to

the shelters and the u.s. diplomat has met the palestinian president as part of a deescalation effort up to the basque reportedly indicated willingness to work with negotiators but the u.s. secretary of state reiterated israel's right to defend itself. well gershon baskin is the founder of the israeli palestinian public policy institute and a former advisor to the palestinian israeli peace process he joins us live from west jerusalem sir thank you again for being with us here on al-jazeera now we heard that from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu after he had a meeting with military chiefs that the directive is to continue to strike what he called terror targets we will continue to act as necessary to restore peace and security to the residents of visual in light of that and the other developments that you have seen today do you see where any close to a cease fire between hamas and israel. i think we are getting closer to

a ceasefire we're not going to see a ground is where the military operation into gaza is in my system nation the israelis are running out of targets to hit in gaza if hamas says it weapon 3 must also be dwindling and there gets to a point where both sides need to ask themselves what do they want to achieve here it seems to me that this is just a repeat of everything that we've known in the past 20 years and this round of failure this round of warfare is going to end just like all the others without any strategic differences on the ground that enable us to essentially change the relationship which is what we have to do i guess from a purely israeli point of view that some of the differences would be there right now we're seeing a caretaker government a lot of israeli prayed for israelis this and chanted with an innocent now before the latest elections also rockets coming out of gaza that seem to reach further and come in in greater numbers what would you say the attitude is of the israeli public

right now towards this escalation. i think to a lot of israelis probably the whole basis of not and you know and the right wing in israel which is the majority of the society want israel to continue to pound gaza until they get what they call deterrence which is something very amorphous that we don't really know what it is and probably can't be achieved is not in you know has essentially achieved all of his goals he's prevented the creation of the alternative government that was being negotiated he has removed the arab parties from coalition talks in israel because of the intercommunal violence that we've seen he has probably enabled his popularity to grow at the same time continuing to deal a generalized mahmoud abbas the palestinian authority and keep a weakened how mass in power which enables nothing you know to prevent any movement forward on the israeli palestinian negotiating track with the statement that he's made over years that we have no partner when you decide you well don't want to

partner you make sure that there is no partner and that's what's been going on you know we certainly hope that the violence and the death toll stops in the gaza and the missiles that come out of gaza as well but what do you think the long term impact of this particular conflict will be especially when it comes to the intercommunal violence that we're seeing i mean that doesn't just go away and i'm guessing the wounds will not just heal quickly. right i think that's going to take years to repair but i would like to say something at the international level that needs to be said if we want to see something positive come out of all this tragedy that's it more than if we listen to the united nations security council debate if we noted a lot of countries talking about the 2 state solution what i would say is that these are empty words if those same countries that keep. the mantra of a 2 state solution don't recognize the state of palestine if we want to save the 2 state solution and i don't know that it can be saved it would be important for all

those countries to recognize the state of palestine because they do recognize israel secondly if the united states wants to engage in mediating a cease fire in this conflict it's about turn the united states and britain and other countries in europe begin to talk directly to hamas and this is what i would say to the israeli public as well it's not going to end until we talk to each other hamas is not going the way israel is not going the way these 2 parties need to recognize each other and to find a way to talk to each other that's what can come out of this continued talk but it probably won't. baskin founder of the israeli palestinian public policy institute sir thank you for your time and pleasure. now in other news the u.s. u.k. and canada have announced a wave of new sanctions on high ranking at me and more military officials and the businesses that fund them the coordinated sanctions are in response to what they called the joint as

a violent and lethal attacks against the country's pro-democracy movement the u.s. and canada focused on key military officers while britain targeted a exporter of jenn's including rubies and jane security forces have cracked down on the center of the country leaving close to 800 people that sense and protest speak at. well thousands of people from the hilltop town of men that are hiding in villages and valleys after fleeing an assault by the military the newly formed chin land defense force recently have retreated from the town after some of the most intense fighting since february screw florence louis has more now from kuala lumpur well we've just spoken to a spokesman for the chin land defense force this is a group that was formed only in april to take up arms resistance against the military giunta and it also says one of its purposes is to protect civilians from the actions of the military the spokesman tells that the men have retreated to save

areas around the hillside town of mynd but they are planning to return to the town he's not sure when he wouldn't say when to return to protect the women and children who are left in the town now he also says the military uses stream the heavy weaponry against the civilian population including rocket propelled grenades the fight is they don't have very sophisticated weaponry now of course there's really very much concern by human rights groups about what's happening in chin state human rights watch now and says they're also worried about what's going to happen next in the town of minda where this security presence here they're worried about arbitrary detention they're worried about torture and other abuses conducted by the soldiers against civilians they worry that that's going to happen next 90000 the indian doctors with medical degrees from russia china and ukraine are urging the government to let them help in the fight against kovac 19 they're waiting on local licenses before being allowed to practice and ask the authorities to fast track

of the midlands and parts of london the early evidence suggests that the $1617.00 is more transmissible than the previously dominant that the early laboratory data from oxford university corroborates the provisional evidence from both the hospital and the initial observational data from india that vaccines are effective against this variant and willing to delay the reopening the government has its fingers firmly crossed that surge testing and localized vaccination campaigns will keep the so-called indian variant in check as scientists warn of a possible 3rd wave of infections. that means effigies your freedom to start can't let was actually but the day after day thursday so with of an interview booked all day. and everything so yes it's great i'm up and out now sort of god knows how long. so it's been it's been out on me but now my. and i stay in the

a high rise building that housed the religious affairs ministry in the city of jihad well in 15 kilometers of harass tunnels have also been targeted the office of catheters red crescent was also severely damaged in central gaza. now all. those homeowners. or. what they need and then because. they have. one of the presidential building. warning. that they will bomb. their home. rockets fired from gaza and hit buildings in a number of cities in southern israel on monday injuring 17 people residential

buildings were struck in the cities of a stalled and sending people running to the shelters built to protect them from such attacks where the 3000 rockets have been fired towards israel many are stopped by israel's iron dome air defense system and hundreds of actually fall in inside the gaza itself. the u.s. u.k. and canada have announced a wave of new sanctions on high ranking myanmar military officials and the businesses that funds them the coordinated sanctions are in response to what they called the job violent and lethal attacks against the country's pro-democracy movement the u.s. and canada focused on key military officers while britain targeted an exporter of james including rubies and jade. well those are the top stories that stay with us the listening post that's coming up next that i'm going to have the al-jazeera news hour for you in just under half an hour i hope you'll join me then.

below really. kind of like my. knowledge. right. there for them ok. that is. lower richard burton you're at the listening post where we dig into the coverage and look at how news is reported here are the media stories we're looking at this week. gaza under assault bloodshed at the al aqsa mosque social media is the place to go for the coverage of this story except when the platform's take issue with what's being posted thailand used to be a safe haven for journalists on the run from me and mark those days are gone mammy

just a bell and sapphire do they look familiar we examine the stereotyping of black women on screen and cartoon propaganda turkish style someone says. something that to the delight of the president's critics comes back to bite the heir to want to govern what is currently taking place across the occupied territories is both familiar and unlike anything we've seen in recent times the israeli settler violence is not new nor are the forced evictions of palestinians from their homes to make way for israelis the police brutality on protestors and worshippers at the al aqsa mosque the israeli military is bombing of gaza in response to rocket fire that's coming from the other direction. but in other ways this escalation is distinct in large part because of social media palestinians have been documenting every stage of this story starting with the israeli police

cracking down on protesters in east jerusalem shake shot up a neighborhood where palestinians are on the verge of being forced out social media companies removed many of those posts even suspended dozens of accounts content moderators to easily triggered have since been overtaken by events and footage filmed by gazans under attack has mobilized palestinians in a way that has not been seen in years within the occupied territories and israel itself our starting point this week is gaza city. the last thing that the 2000000 palestinians living in gaza want to see on their social media feeds is that gaza is a trend. because when gaza is trending it usually means the israelis are bombed. and civilians are getting killed. even if it's the last week of

ramadan during a pandemic when gaza is trying in the israeli army says it's out to destroy military targets only residential tower sperm reduced to rubble. schools and media organizations get paid. and palestinians find themselves telling their story on social media to elements of the global media that don't seem to want to understand. the video a little boy who lost their. lives that's a testament to another video was. bombing on that residential building in bed can you. just saw it last week me flat i think when. does it showcase israel's brutality for me to the images that stick in my one of the flats in gaza the collapse of the future.

of houses the middle east and you can. see more and more. lies social media does that allows us to cross our own merited. to select our words selector and midges based on what we see rather what an editor or rather what journalist the destruction of civilian property which is filmed on captured this is all evidence that's been collected for what one day will probably be working on trials the international criminal court so there's a new dimension to the social media test of under the charter politically very. the initial fuse for this escalation was lit not in gaza but in east jerusalem shake shot up a long time in arab neighborhood where palestinians are now facing expulsion from

their homes by yet more jewish israeli settlers company there's a lot. going on in the armed settlers confronted palestinians on their doorsteps at demonstrations that took place and the crackdown by israeli security. led to what many news organizations still call actions they were more like mismatches israeli police used tear gas stun grenades and rubber tipped bullets against unarmed protesters more than $600.00 of them were injured compared to roughly 20 police say. some of the shooting took place in the al aqsa mosque itself and provoked in gaza to launch rockets into israel. many protesters armed with nothing more than their phone used to document the shake shot our story on social media particularly on instagram we have seen the video of an israeli and

jewish settler in the backyard of a palestinian family how hard my her i don't know and that video which has made so many rounds is a testament again to daily ongoing ethnic cleansing of palestinians blood. videos that went viral were of the israeli settlers going around shift with their guns and their pistols as though they are in some video game counter-strike or something like that but they're actually shooting at people palestinians because this young woman many iraqi think who was arrested by israeli police in jerusalem and as she was being handcuffed she was imploring him if this is what he dreamt of being when he was a child maybe you have to have kids and it takes so much strength and bravery to be able to do that with the potential of being taken to a police station that is notorious for its torture of palestinians social media has

developed so quickly so compared to the last song. on this facebook or twitter instagram. you name me. this clears of conventional the moment and also to make a message to. the shake shot our story. in the images grew more difficult to watch twitter and facebook started taking down a continent some was flagged as hate speech many accounts were blocked palestinians have seen this before big tech platforms deleting material that exposes israeli human rights crimes often those platforms are told to do so by the authorities something israel's justice minister boasted about publicly in 2060. i am inside my own facebook to see the man.

palestinians also know social media companies mainly facebook which owns instagram have handed over some of their users data to the israeli government leading to hundreds of arrests so when twitter and instagram which is headed by adam oh sorry an american israeli blamed their content takedowns on a technical bug palestinians weren't buying it here is a question if your system. targets only or disproportionately vulnerable communities at crucial and sensitive political times at the peak of their activism at the peak of the need to see and document human rights abuses then you need to fix your system if it wasn't technical bug and there fix it well. if it hasn't been fixed and this technical bug has permeated. the media not only to

provide them balanced coverage of policy on israel then it's a technical bargain there are more of. news organizations. some are struggling to keep up with this israeli ground troops moving on to the border with gaza communal violence breaking out in multiple israeli cities reports of attempted lynching on both sides. talk from the israeli president of a looming civil. there was a time as recently as a year ago the palestinians could tune into arabic language news channels based in the gulf and find reporting that would help redress at least some of the imbalanced coverage on western media outlets that is no longer the case the abraham accords normalization agreements between israel the united arab emirates and doctoring have tempered the coverage on some gulf based pan arab channels like the saudi owned.

and sky news arabia which broadcasts out of the u.a.e. their viewers are seeing output on palestine that is more muted and sporadic than it used to be back here happy for you know a lot of us not a clock when we're not going out when we're not. in this kind of ridges going to be able to relate the atmosphere cannot. cannot cannot get the sign up and it leaves palestinians ever more reliant on social media american big tech companies bugs biases and all palestinians have been geographically and politically fragmented for decades and that is not by coincidence is by design and social media as you know we reunited us palestinians living in jerusalem in the west bank in gaza even palestinians living in the diaspora myself included one reason why we.

demonstrations not just from go. on the west bank but also in. jaffa inside israel but. fundamental bios of power mcgraw military political remains probably an issue a trooper and just like they're censoring palestinians now they're going to censor others struggle as a palestinian i rebuke the separation of our censorship from the censorship of others struggle this is something that is problematic with them these corporations . are yet to receive that right this is something that's much bigger than that. it's been more than 100 days now since me and mars new military rulers took power and things are not getting any easier for journalists inside the country or out for philips has been talking to some of them flow let's start with how this story has moved beyond me and mars borders and into time northern thailand to be precise

richard last week 3 bernese journalists were arrested that they work for an independent outlet the democratic voice of burma d.d.p. now d.b. is a very popular t.v. and radio station that has been extensively covering the military coup far too critical for the hunter's liking back in march the authorities banned forcing many of its journalists either into hiding or to flee across the border the 3 reporters in question then set up a makeshift studio in thailand to continue that work but a neighbor reported unusual activity in the building the thai police entered searched it and the rest of the journalists for crossing the border illegally what are the chances that the thai authorities will now deport them back to me and it's hard to say because t.v. does have a history of working in thailand back in the early 2000 when memo was all star under military rule d.d.b. did a lot of its work on the thai side of the border as did many burmese journalists and

you'll remember from when we covered that story which is that the title thirty's were fine with it but things are beginning to change we spoke with the executive director of dv b. h. and 9 who says that the bomb is consulate in chiang mai has been. pressuring the thai authorities to deport the justice and they've even tried to visit the reporters in jail unsuccessfully and one important thing to note should these jenna's get deported it would be a violation of international law the principle which protects the sign seekers who face persecution if they are deported back to me and mar what kind of fate awaits them there as you know richard media workers are still being arrested and the crackdown on dissent that continues we've been getting stories of journalists taken from their houses in the middle of the night and tortured and this past week a d.v.d. reporter based in the young gone was sentenced to 3 years in jail joining 3 of his colleagues already behind bars so the situation is pretty bleak all round ok thanks flow this past week the u.s. television network n.b.c.

announced it will not be broadcasting next year's golden globes awards as prestigious film and television awards go the globes are 2nd only to the oscars and d.c. is reasoning the group behind the globes the hollywood foreign press association has persistently come up short on the issue of diversity it is a problem that runs right through the industry and people behind hashtags like oscars so white have been demanding change despite some signs of progress the roles offered to actors of color particularly black women are still often built around stereotypes simplistic depictions some dating back to the slave trade that somehow live are so many black female artists have turned away from an industry dominated by white men to tell their own stories complex layered ones that hollywood seems to have an aversion to the listening post johannah who is now on the stereotyping of black women and the push for change in an industry where diversity and inclusion

have been far too long in coming. then. you tell me what you want done and i think a lot of the jazz about. and this. submissive sexy sexy 3 stereotypes of black women that return to our screen over and over again. the mammy is probably the most familiar to people it's usually a made be taken care of the family he's. this. is what she is a sexual she doesn't have really a life of her own she's really only there to support the family and probably one of the most famous examples is a mammy from gone with the wind. somebody who is always seeking

out to put aside her own desires her own needs for white families white men white women white children to be sure you know 6. deadliest chicken and. the 2nd stereotype is the jets about and that someone who's generally oversexed is misty her only power is in her body and the influence she has over men and then finally 'd the sapphire character i think that's seen in t.v. more often than anything else get some kleenex wiped you know cause it a damn sand the sapphire is usually start. manipulative woman who emasculate her husband. there was actually a carrot so-called sapphire stevens on the imus and i d. show how do you think you could. get a job done by you know. the representation of a i'm great black woman and that's kind of metamorphosis to today where we just

have sassy angry black women. doesn't take anything from anybody. caricature is that black women have been around in western culture for centuries. they're rooted in the transatlantic slave trade and stereotypes were used to commodify black bodies and justify slavery. these characters were popular guys in american schools and shows comedic performances in which white actors in blackface black people just to entertain other whites. by the early ninety's hundreds minstrel shows are fading in popularity but the stereotypes endured they make the jump to film the electronic media and they have survived to this day. through history more often than not white women are depicted in reductive ways denies different experiences and emotions that

are part of their life and you're my graphic. depictions of white women in the media time have been used to put forward ultimately oppressive ideologies generalisations are useful are constantly favors but they're also short cuts and it feeds into our own racist imagination. and we miss the realities the full depth of black women's stories because you are essentially rising black people you're saying there is no complexity beyond this well it's not going to be no surprise that the audience and the creators alive are going to constantly think that we have representative black women in the way they are wouldn't give me what they've for presenting is just the same racist caricature over and over again.

stereotypes like the mammy jazz about sapphire however if. forced over time reinvented in characters like the welfare queen and ceci black friends. looking for sassy black for you know i did where you got one now girlfriend. in the wake of the black lives matter protests there has been renewed push back against this kind of racist imagery. tyndall dreadful yet right of rest with what's called size me since he sees no sign to give it to me. i have to strive to play the part of the welfare queen and my mom is playing the mommy and it's too like stereotypes to get. with like deep interrogation as to watch it once again and good case of. we just like pop pop as like best friends of like all white leads us remember being on set and almost being asked to give us more sides give us

more i to you know. i watch his back and i absolutely was complicit in the problem for him and he brought that. advocated. rhetoric. for the sake of capitalism for the sake of a credit. for black actors caricature is are no longer the only parts out there. t.v. shows like scandal how to get away with murder and in secure future layered black women in their living rooms. at such complex multi-dimensional characters are the exception all stereotypes are token black rules remain the. effect that is at least partly explained by a lack of diversity behind the camera at the writing desk and in the director's chair. one of the problems that they're just really aren't

a lot of people of color who are making decisions who are writing who are producing . right it's like no joke. no me. all of this. is actually really good but when you think about a show like insecure on h.b.o. does that because she is a black woman she has black writers black producers and so she makes it her business to make sure that the full story is told but complex part that's reality and we just don't see a lot of that on t.v. or in felt. that the majority of part of the white. predominantly male absolutely it's to the. sort of modernization. and contribute to the misrepresentation. we are and i was storing what i have all over. if you just put it differently now

you can make it right and so i think we're turning to the internet because the internet allows us to. commune mobilize to stabilize. educate. and free ourselves from. the dominance that is like now why the white culture. the internet has offered artists a space to tell their own stories and they have proven successful web series like salt fish and he says raise all sorts of girls and that's large followings online and both shows were then she's picked up by big broadcasters. but it's taken a lot of clicks and likes for t.v. executives to acknowledge that black women stories the good the bad the ugly are worthy of their screen time. a lot of major networks consider it a risk to black stories because they're not always sure that the mainstream world

received them while on. fortunately black creators are in a position of having to prove over and over again that our stories worth telling. content created by plot women can credibly talented but have often been overlooked by industry is engaging is interesting is dynamic and also because it typically doesn't conform to the conventions of industry that have been very narrow and prescriptive it's more exciting in many ways in what is offered in the mainstream the white world if you will tells of stories like they are global stories whereas when black people tell their stories those stories are only stories about those people i think that that is something that people really need to question. because the way why stories are told the rest of us the supposed to find our humanity in those stories why can't why people find beyond humanity you know the

stories as well. and finally following on from the story that we did last week on president air to one's attempts via you tube to connect with the latest generation of turkish voters his ruling ak party has tried to use animation to do the same thing it produced a cartoon about turkey's leading opposition party the c.h.p. called the lie production center the cartoon tells the story of a mad scientist and the machinery behind anti-government propaganda launched with much online fanfare and highlighted on the act party officials social media accounts the video then crashed and burned the government took an absolute hammering online from accounts that it cannot control and the cartoon was deleted within 24 hours now to once people say the cartoon had reached its intended audience but what were they going to say that it backfired on them we managed to
