Kneecap is not the story.
Genocide in Gaza is.

DOCTORS ARE BEGGING FOR *BABY FORMULA* TO BE *ALLOWED* INTO GAZA!!

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

In just the last 72 hours in Gaza:

- A Palestinian girl shot by an Israeli sniper while playing on the beach.
- A baby lying beside his amputated leg.
- A girl begging her dead father to wake up.
- Countless charred bodies pulled from rubble.

Hell on earth.

I cant believe this is really happening everyday and no one is moving a finger to stop it!

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨BREAKING: As the world watches the Israel-Iran exchange, Israeli warships open fire on Gaza’s shores, injuring displaced families sheltering in tents by the sea.

For the fourth day, Gaza is under total internet blackout and under nonstop bombardment, unseen and unheard.

[Frances 'Cassandra' Coppola @Frances_Coppola]

No-one voted for you to spend our money protecting Israel from the consequences of its unprovoked aggression against Iran, @Keir_Starmer @DavidLammy. You don't have a mandate to involve Britain in this war.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

Yaron, let’s get something straight.

You didn’t refute my point.

You confirmed it.

You said, "Look at the U.S., Canada, Australia, Argentina, Brazil…"

As if listing other settler-colonial crimes somehow absolves Israel.

But that’s not a defense.

That’s a confession.

Yes—those countries were built on genocide, dispossession, and the erasure of indigenous peoples.

And we condemn that.

We don’t recycle it.

We don’t use old crimes to justify new ones.

But here’s the difference:

They aren’t still doing it.

They aren’t bulldozing homes in real time.

They aren’t turning cities into rubble with U.S.-made bombs.

They aren’t live-streaming airstrikes on refugee camps and calling it "self-defense."

They aren’t locking entire nations in open-air prisons, starving them, bombing their hospitals, and then crying antisemitism when the world calls it out.

Israel is.

You say, "Why don’t those countries face the same outrage?"

Simple.

Their crimes were committed in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries—before international law, before the UN, before "human rights" were written into global conscience.

Israel’s founding crime took place in 1948.

And it never ended.

You mention Palestinians rejected "six offers."

Let’s translate that:

They rejected a series of bantustans, military zones, and broken promises—offered under occupation, at gunpoint, with no sovereignty, no borders, no army, no control of airspace or water, and no right of return for the very people expelled to make "Israel" Jewish in the first place.

What you call "offers" were ultimatums from a colonizer to the colonized:

Accept your cage, or die in it.

And still, Palestinians have survived.

You complain their population "has grown sixfold."

You know who else grew while being enslaved, exiled, and brutalized?

Every indigenous people on Earth that refused to vanish.

Growth is not a rebuttal to genocide.

It’s a miracle in spite of it.

And you think demographics cancel out war crimes?

What next—will you say Black Americans aren’t oppressed because there are more of them now than in 1865?

Do you hear yourself?

And then you reach for the last refuge of propaganda:

"They teach their children to hate."

As if the child under rubble should've sent flowers to the pilot.

As if trauma from occupation, checkpoints, exile, and mass graves is a choice.

Israel didn’t produce peace.

It engineered desperation.

You think people are born wanting to resist?

They’re born behind fences, under drones, in camps their grandparents were forced into.

You want to talk about radicalization?

Start with the bulldozer.

Start with the sniper.

Start with the siege that starves a people, then blames them for the scream.

And you end with the last, tired fallback:

"People just hate Jews."

No, Yaron.

People don’t hate Jews.

They hate apartheid.

They hate ethnic cleansing.

They hate watching a state built on trauma use that trauma to inflict it on others.

Stop hiding behind Judaism to shield a settler project that desecrates its own ethics.

Zionism is not Judaism.

And opposing mass murder is not antisemitism.

It’s called being human.

You want to know why Israel is "singled out"?

Because it is not a relic of the past.

It is a live wire of atrocity, playing out in front of our eyes, funded by empires, shielded by lies, and broadcast with pride.

We’re not watching history.

We’re watching it repeat.

And this time, we refuse to look away.

[Rima Hassan @RimaHas]

🚨 Israel once again violates international law — with complete impunity.

By intercepting a humanitarian ship in international waters, Israel once again tramples on maritime and humanitarian law. This illegal act is carried out by an army committing genocide, under the command of a Prime Minister subject to an international arrest warrant.

But instead of taking responsibility, Israel opts for grotesque theater: after an illegal nighttime interception, its forces stage a media farce by handing out water and sandwiches to detained civilians. A pathetic attempt to cover up what is, in truth, an act of state piracy.
This strategy is nothing new.

This week, thanks to the “selfie yacht” of the Freedom Flotilla — which they tried to ridicule — civil society and political voices from around the world rose up. As a result, we avoided a repeat of the deadly 2010 flotilla attack, which left 9 dead.
Israel has replaced drones with cameras. Even in illegality, it adapts its communication strategy.

👉 What we must remember:
When states fail in their duty to act against genocide, citizens rise.
And in response, Israel does not hesitate to use force, in blatant violation of international law.
This arrest is illegal — and it must be condemned with the utmost firmness.

Listen - just listen …

[JonnyUtd @Fx1Jonny]

Just look at what they’ve done to Gaza.

But they gaslight the whole world and tell us it’s not genocide, it’s not ethnic cleansing.

You all see it so speak on it! 🇵🇸💔

[Greenock HSFP 2011s @ghsfp2011s]

Well done to all our MotM winners in an unbeaten weekend. Harry with a double and some nice attacking play for our Whites. Aarran showing his blistering pace and grabbed the winner for our Blues. Zack the hatrick hero for our Blacks, and Dale with a nice double for our Yellows!

[Dr Laura Doak @lauraidoak]

Featuring me! I’ll be speaking next year on what’s been described as Scotland’s most elaborate funeral of all time 🎭 ⚰️

This is a rescheduled paper from last semester when Storm Jocelyn and whoever else was with her got in the way!

[Dr Myriam François @MyriamFrancoisC]

The international community is responsible for this escalation - we had 11 months to de-escalate the situation - 11 months to rein Israeli extremism in. Instead, we watched a live stream genocide and demonised all who sought to bring it to an end. Now the idiots in power have allowed two likely nuclear powers to enter into a direct confrontation. J’accuse!

[Dr. Emily Rhodes @elrhodes96]

Well I used every single day available to me, but it is finally done.

If anyone is wondering, the thesis uses variations of the word 'petition' and 'mother', 1,482 and 1,232 times, respectively
