Suddenly, something is shifting.
Israel's apologists have realised that a reckoning is coming.
They understand that they're not going to get away with this abomination.
And they are absolutely right 👇

Today marks three years since Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was targeted and killed by the Israelis while reporting in the Jenin refugee camp. Her assassination and the news coverage that followed laid the blueprint for how the current slaughter of Palestinian journalists by the Israelis would never receive the outrage and condemnation it necessitates.
It also set the blueprint for denying Israeli culpability.
Despite many eyewitness testimonies saying that it was the Israelis who shot at the group of journalists, who shot Shireen in the neck, U.S. newsrooms obfuscated Israeli culpability & the Biden administration showed its little regard for lost American life when it is Palestinian.
Rest in peace, Shireen - you are missed & remembered.
It's horrifying how everytime an attack happens Palestinians have no choice but to pick up their phones and record, record their dead loved ones with missing limbs as a desperate plea to make it all stop, their world is collapsing and they have to record it before they can grieve
"For 100 years, our tears remain forsaken."

Student journalists at Columbia and UCLA are running circles around the mainstream media and titans like the NYT.
One is real, honest journalism. The other is state sponsored propaganda.
Saw a Muslim kid w/blood flowing out of his head, soaking his curls & face, after it had been busted open by pro-Israel maniacs on the UCLA campus last night. He was one of many anti-genocide Muslim, Arab, Jewish students assaulted.
Bash is a brazen propagandist for genocide.
NYPD forcibly removed hijabs from multiple muslim columbia students in jail, we kept chanting “let her wear her hijab” over and over from inside our cells. one of them was told to shut up by an officer when she demanded to get back her hijab. columbia unleashed these pigs on us.
I am watching a toddler die on a table in a field hospital in Rafah with half her face blown apart while listening to college students fight tears reporting on a police assault on their campus for protesting that, and I feel like I am losing my fucking mind.
Hi @Columbia I won a DuPont award in 2022– an accolade from your journalism department that celebrates capturing and reporting historical moments and investigations. But today I’m being denied access to Columbia University’s campus to report on the student movement. Let press in
poetic how the star of the Hunger Games co-signs a genocide supporter as brave while fans of the Hunger Games, drawing lessons from the series itself, are among those sitting across student encampments protesting that very same genocide.
Universities belong to students. This is why back in February we, as students and staff at @ucl, renamed the student centre after alum Dr Refaat Alareer who was murdered in a targeted assassination by @israel.
Let it be a tale 🪁
Students occupying Hamilton Hall at Columbia have renamed it Hind’s Hall.
Hind Rajab was a six year old girl murdered by Israeli tanks.
In her final moments, she made a call to the emergency services and said, “I'm so scared, please come. Come take me. Please, will you come?”
One of the most profoundly beautiful acts of solidarity I've seen: the indigenous guardians of the land that the @mcgillu occupies have given the students the right to setup their encampments on the land in fighting for a Palestine free from occupation and genocide❤️🔥
In a heartwarming reunion, two Palestinian children embrace each other after six months of separation and lack of communication due to displacement between the northern and southern regions.
So far, Columbia, Indiana University and Northwestern have all had admin bypass faculty committees to unilaterally change codes in order to suspend and ban protesters.
