Israel did not give polio vaccinations to Palestinians in Gaza. This is a lie.

UNWRA, WHO, and UNICEF gave polio vaccinations Gaza. Israel did not.

Israel BLOCKED THE ENTRY OF SOAP, which caused the polio outbreak.

if someone can walk into the UN and brag about maiming children with beepers and walk out unscathed idk man

After spending several minutes attacking the mayor of New York City, Netanyahu brandishes a weapon his assassination department used for a massive terror attack

114 children all with single sniper shots to the head.

Some as young as 5 years old.

Read that again.

They're "hunting" children for fun.

A reminder that leaked Israeli studies found that pushing pro-Israel propaganda to Westerners didnt work and instead they advised spending millions blasting the West with racist Islamophobic content demonizing Muslims instead.

Last night I planted an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Palestinian families from Gaza. 

May peace be our future.

The funniest thing about this is everybody keeps talking about Save the last Dance when she's actually doing the moves from 10 Things I Hate About You lolol

He can’t even verbally respond. They’re carting around a human vegetable trying to pretend that he’s perfectly functioning. How is this legal and how is the state of Kentucky not demanding for him to be removed from office so they can have an actual competent senator representing them?

Foggy Nelson really died for nothing because Feige’s ego was so big he thought Marvel Studios could make a better show than the original Marvel TV team by taking the two leads & then gutting everything else that made the original show so special. Masterful gambit sir, bravo.

You bonbed all the sewage plants and water sanitation facilities in Gaza.

But dont let the facts get in the way of your cool, captain planet eco warrior story.

[jai ♡ @JAlJENSEN]

iwtv has always had split timeline storytelling, if rolin and the writers prioritized the book instead of a 20 song visual album they could’ve both expanded louis’ story for the present And gave us lestat’s past bc the two are not mutually exclusive

[Brian Tashman @briantashman]

For over a year, boxes containing 900 wheelchairs meant for people in Gaza have been sitting in a warehouse because Israel won’t let them in, classifying the wheelchairs as “potential weapons”

[Stop The Game @TadhgHickey]

I thought the fathers in Gaza carrying bags of flesh they hope contain some of their children's remains were the victims here but actually no. It's Ed Fucking Sheeran.

interview with the vampire 💔

[Zara Rahim @ZaraRahim]

This is straight up HR reading from a legally approved script before they lay you off energy. Having to read from a prompter about a moral position is CRAZY. Worst crisis PR I’ve seen in a long time.

[𝓔𝓶 ♡ @emkenobi]

- reads from teleprompter
- immediately starts with October 7th
- still won’t call it a genocide
- says he doesn’t know enough about what’s happening
- makes no apology to Macklemore or addresses dropping him from the tour
- doesn’t mention where his donation will be going to
- doesn’t encourage anyone to donate
- won’t say Israel is the reason Gaza is suffering
- won’t say free Palestine
- only cries when he sees people showed up to the concert because that’s what he cares more about.

Fuck him.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

The interviewer does not push back morally when told that it’s ok to kill children because they will grow up to be terrorists. Instead she asks “aren’t these the actions that get us in trouble?” That gives you the entire Israeli mindset in one exchange. The murder of children is not a moral problem. It’s a PR problem.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

"The children will grow up".

This was also the argument that Nazi officials gave, during the Nuremberg Trials, to justify why they had killed children during the Holocaust.

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

imagine if a country launched a tomahawk missile at a elementary school in South Carolina that killed 120 schoolchildren and then it took six and a half months for the international community to say there were “reasonable grounds” of it being a war crime

[charles r. davis @charizardavis]

this is why liberal zionists want to call this just "cancel culture." this is not just about a single artist being deplatformed for saying, "free palestine."

it's about the coordinated effort to deny palestinian people basic dignity, and it's been happening for a very long time
