Not to mention a disappointing choice of guest. No mention of wars, who started them, or repeated rejection of peace deals (ie:the Pal’s rejection of the original partition and subsequent war they started and lost)- just a narrative of continuous Israeli expansion ‘just cause 🤷♀️’
Usually I love @today_explained, but I’m pretty uncomfortable with them centering an entire episode on a largely unsubstantiated, borderline conspiratorial concept, then presenting it as an accepted goal of the Zionist movement (NOT true).
@SimonWafya@Farid_0v@BillAckman@X It was only after hamas’s election that the blockade was implemented (tbf, they elected them relatively quickly).Add’l, a lot of infrastructure was already in place when the land was given over intended to be a springboard. They literally burned much of it down to make a point.
I’ve started a campaign called “Macro for Migdal Ohr” to support the initiative I shared last week. Assisting over 1,500 evacuated families, individuals, & recent-orphans who survived the horrific attacks in southern Israel. To learn more and donate- https://t.co/H1PWoTrfaF
Not @jaketapper telling the IDF spokesperson that israel needs to open the Gaza boarders 🤨🤨🤨 you mean the boarders that the 1500 terrorists just came through to kill all of our civilians?? Sounds a bit risky
@sunny You said the theory is that Jewish people and elites are being replaced by black and brown people. You were the one who was confused. Just say that 💖
For some good news on another big down day in spoos. I’m engaged to the greatest girl ever. Beyond blessed and thanks to everyone on fintwit who has reached out with the kind wishes, I really appreciate it.
P.S. don’t direct any macro qs to Mo Schwartz.
Instagram and WhatsApp being unavailable is the equivalent of taking an Adderall for me. Then again I’m on Twitter for the first time in months so I guess I’m hopeless.
There is absolutely no equivalence—either in morality or the laws of armed conflict—between firing unaimed rockets directly into civilian population centers and responding with aimed fire at militants hiding in civilian population centers.
Travel selfie: ✅
@MarsCuriosity captured a selfie while approaching an impressive rock formation dubbed "Mont Mercou." The selfie is composed of images from the Mars Hand Lens Imager on the rover’s robotic arm and the Mastcam. Get the picture: https://t.co/E7Kq9QWqZK
