The ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Gaza:

1. That Israel had no idea what Hamas was up to prior to October 7, but ever since October 7 has known about every hospital, mosque, school, refugee camp and water tower that Hamas is hiding in.

2. That the blame for all of the deaths caused by Israeli weapons launched by Israel rests solely on Hamas.

3. That Hamas is using “human shields” — meaning Hamas bases are hidden amidst civilian populations — yet Israel is managing to kill thousands of civilians without doing any meaningful damage to Hamas.

4. That it would be perfectly fine to murder children by the thousands even if they were being used as “human shields” — as though resolving a hostage situation by mowing down thousands of child hostages would be regarded as reasonable and acceptable by the public if it happened in our own country.

5. That is is only by pure coincidence that Israel bombing “Hamas targets” in civilian infrastructure and residential buildings just so happens to look exactly the same as what you’d expect to see if Israel was simply bombing civilian infrastructure and residential buildings and lying about its reasons for doing so.

6. That satellite images of entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble in Gaza have been caused by “precision strikes” directed solely at Hamas and have been carried out with the greatest of care for human life, despite Israeli officials openly saying that “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy” in this assault and that “Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents; there will be no buildings.”

7. That this bombing campaign has anything to do with freeing Israeli hostages — as though the bombing campaign itself has not killed dozens of hostages, and as though anyone believes Israel would stop bombing Gaza after the hostages are returned.

8. That the only reason anyone could possibly oppose the detonation of thousands of bombs on an open air prison full of children would be if they had very strong and hateful opinions toward the members of the religion of Judaism.

9. That Hamas attacked Israel entirely out of the blue and completely unprovoked, solely because they are evil and hate Jews.

10. That Washington is powerless to stop this genocide that it is directly funding and supplying.

When I go silent for long, it either means that I got no internet connection, that my battery died, or that I died.

My full name is: Bayan Abusultan
And I live in western #Gaza City.

If you google me and find out I was killed, please take care of my books.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Enough!

It is just horror after horror after horror.

Remember these precious and beautiful lives. They are human beings with names and faces. And they are being indiscriminately slaughtered.

What unconscionable inhumanity. We need a ceasefire, now.

[Haïfa (Novel Notions) @BookishHaifa]

Isr@el bombed a FREAKING REFUGEES CAMP, leveling a whole neighborhood, and media and politicians are still barking about "self-defense"??

The world is getting darker and scarier each day 💔

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Where is the International Criminal Court?!

Israel just carpet bombed an entire neighborhood of 15-30 houses in densely packed Jabalia refugee camp, Gaza, using American bombs.

More than 400 Palestinians killed and wounded so far.

This is not “self-defense”. This is genocide.

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

🚨Netanyahu is now going fully genocidal; calling Palestinians "Amalek" & citing the bible to justify their destruction!

The bible called to "utterly destroy all that Amalek have, & spare them not; but slay both man & WOMAN, INFANT & suckling, ox & sheep, camel & donkey"! (1/2)

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This is France right now.

This pro-Palestinian demonstration was banned by Macron…and yet massive crowds hit the streets of Paris chanting:

“Nous sommes tous des Palestiniens!” (We are all Palestinians!) 🇵🇸 🇫🇷

[Khadija @khadljasays]

How many more accounts will never post again after this? How many more??? This website has become a gravesite of Palestinians who used their final words begging for the world to care.

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

An English message for an Arabic-speaking population whose communications you’ve already cut off is how you know this is propaganda for Western audiences.

[Haïfa (Novel Notions) @BookishHaifa]

😨😨😨😨😨

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.

1/5

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

⚠️ HAPPENING NOW AT NYC'S GRAND CENTRAL STATION: THOUSANDS OF JEWS AND ALLIES HOLD AN EMERGENCY SIT-IN, DEMANDING A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA. WE'RE TAKING OVER THE GRAND CONCOURSE. WE'RE REFUSING TO ALLOW A GENOCIDE BE CARRIED OUT IN OUR NAMES. CEASEFIRE NOW! NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE! ⚠️

[Rob @robrousseau]

It is absolutely psychotic to look at the destruction in Gaza—which looks like it has been hit by a nuclear bomb—and say "I think Palestinians are lying about their death toll"

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This is what Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, Rishi Sunak, Emmanuel Macron, Ursula von der Leyen and other Western leaders are supporting.

[Haïfa (Novel Notions) @BookishHaifa]

And we will never forget the oppressors, the cowards, the liars who enabled this massacre.

When you realize your government and all its allies bet all their middle east foreign policy chips on a psychotic cult leader.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

watching Palestinians whose Twitter accounts I have followed for years - both regular citizens and journalists - go from posts of desperation about the current hell in Gaza to silence and then the announcement of their deaths is a modern horror I don't really have the words for

[sarah @sahouraxo]

BREAKING: Israel has initiated its most intense and unprecedented bombardment of Gaza since the beginning of the aggression, completely cutting off Internet and communication networks.

How much longer can the world remain silent in the face of this ongoing GENOCIDE?

[Jackson Hinkle 🇺🇸 @jacksonhinkle]

🇮🇱 Israel says Hamas committed crimes against humanity and 'tonight we are starting PAYBACK.'

🇮🇱 By “payback” they mean killing INNOCENT CHILDREN.

[Haïfa (Novel Notions) @BookishHaifa]

#Gaza is now under relentless fire and completely cut off from the world. It's absolutely horrific. Will there be anything left in the morning? 😨 💔
