@Donna_Rachel_ It’s genuinely chilling that people who brand themselves as being about “love not hate” feel free to post things like that openly, without any fear of consequences from the community or @WMerciaPolice.

@mishtal @Keir_Starmer It is so deeply sad and distressing to see the use of the word "were" here.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox What can we do to hold them to account? There must be something as the framing of this conflict can be disproven (unlike how they are able to hide behind not having access to gaza).

[LSK @LeSoupeKitchen]

Hamas are the ones armed and committing violence, yet the BBC reports that gun violence stems from their inability to maintain order. How does that make sense?

They almost killed him! I don’t think most people truly grasp the horrendously evil level of malignant terror of Hamas’s behavior throughout the Gaza Strip. Two days ago, when the strike on the European Hospital in southern Gaza took place, in pursuit of Mohammad Sinwar and half of Hamas’s remaining military leadership, a young boy that I was helping leave the Gaza Strip was at that same hospital when it was struck. I lost contact with him for several hours and thought the worst. Here is a kid whom I was trying to help save his life by getting him out of Gaza, at his request and that of his family, but he almost lost his life in the process of doing just that.

Was it the Israelis who were at fault, I asked myself? Or was it the despicable terror, ISIS-like organization that literally set up shop underneath one of the few hospitals in the Strip that had not yet been hit? I thought to myself that while I, of course, don’t want Israel to attack any hospital anywhere in Gaza, the reality is that the current Israeli government and the military apparatus are constantly pursuing remnants of Hamas anywhere they exist.

Upon finally reestablishing contact with the young kid, I almost collapsed due to a mixture of relief, joy, fear, uncertainty, and an unbelievable level of anger and fury, not to mention a sense of responsibility for the well-being of this person who entrusted me with his life. This man is not just leaving Gaza for the sake of departure, but he has a promising and prosperous life ahead, which represents hope and optimism amidst so much sorrow and heartache.

He told me how he and everyone around him were furious with Hamas when they heard about why the airstrike had taken place. He described the horror he experienced, as well as that of the hundreds around him. He discussed the terror he experienced up close with his cellphone becoming largely damaged due to the airstrike and ensuing pandemonium, making it difficult for him and me to maintain our regular contact and check-ins throughout his exodus journey.

Determined to complete the mission, I urged the young man to stay focused and resist being distracted by the abundance of negative stimuli around him. I reminded him of the importance of his actions and the many Gazans who wish they had the opportunity to leave the seemingly hopeless coastal enclave. Thankfully, after hours of relentless communication with friends and allies and troubleshooting, the kid safely made it outside of Gaza and has begun phase one of plotting a new path forward.

Hamas has maliciously and deliberately built terror tunnels and infrastructure throughout Gaza’s most sacred sites on purpose; under schools, under hospitals, under kindergartens, under civilian homes, and under UN and international facilities; all in an effort to get Israel to target said facilities and cause maximum casualties, a win-win situation for the terror group.

God as my witness, I say this not from the point of view of Israeli propaganda or “Hasbara” as many so frequently scream back at me; I say this strictly and exclusively from a hardcore pro-Palestine, Palestinian self-interested point of view.

If you care about Palestinian civilian lives, then you should understand that international humanitarian law (IHL) actually removes protection from medical and civilian facilities when they are used or abused for military or military-adjacent purposes, which is precisely what Hamas does. Hamas is an existential and deadly menace to Palestinian lives and safety. It is providing the most far-right and extreme government in Israel’s history with an array of excuses to target militants, in so doing, killing thousands of innocent and uninvolved civilians.

Hamas must be rejected, condemned, and ultimately, entirely eliminated if Gaza and the Palestinian people are ever to have a future with a new, pragmatic, moderate leadership. Remember this story, and thousands like it, if you’re still on the fence about this nefarious, Islamist terror organization. Hamas is not resistance; Hamas is the annihilation of the Palestinian people in Gaza and beyond.

@antisemitism @O2 I don't think Israel is listed in the 48 Europe Zone countries and the link states it includes all non- Europe Zone countries. Israel should be listed there but is missing. You can find Israel elsewhere on the site so likely some deliberate funny business on that page.

@ShirionOrg @mihaschw I think the original headline was "Shock over Bibas body mix-up is latest hurdle in fragile ceasefire". The BBC are awful and it was a horribly worded headline, but the one being circulated as the original headline seems to be a fake.

@aziz0nomics The starting point is a unified Palestinian and pro-Palestinian voice saying that they recognise the right for Israel to exist and that they want to co-exist via a two state solution.

From the BBC: Haniyeh seen as "moderate and pragmatic". @EylonALevy

Al-Jazeera - really @maxrushden? I know you're more intelligent than this. Some might say conforming to the mob to save your own skin is cowardly.
