Fun fact: Gaza's tunnel industry thrived b/c of Israel's siege (2006-present) & one of the earliest uses was to smuggle KFC from Egypt🧵
We were literally being starved to near death until the 1st smuggling tunnel brought in Twinkies, crisps & biscuits, all were banned by Israel
BREAKING🚨: Israel admits apache helicopters fired on their own civilians running from the Supernova music festival.
“The pilots realised that there was tremendous difficulty in distinguishing within the occupied outposts and settlements who was a terrorist and who was a soldier or civilian… The rate of fire against the thousands of terrorists was tremendous at first, and only at a certain point did the pilots begin to slow down the attacks and carefully select the targets.”

The answer wasn't as hard as trying to objectively confirm it was; if you're taught to hate someone, you may grow to realize he's a human who has his story which you're not aware of. But if you're taught to dehumanize that someone, you wont find human rights applicable to him.
For some time now I've been diving so deep in articles and media, trying to evade algorithms showing me what I should be seeing, and seeking insight of what the others see. For some time now I've asked myself "how could there be radically different opinions on killing children?"
An Al Jazeera digital investigation found no grounds for the Israeli army's claim that the strike on the al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza was caused by a failed rocket launch.
@msh_atef Unfortunately it's not easy to declare war, the political stage is not safe and specifically Egypt is put in a tight position knowing that the ultimate goal from this is not only Gaza. Declaring war carries a 100% chance of ending up having to defend your actual land too
