I’m not surprised, given how much the world has ignored and moved on from in Gaza and how just dehumanized Arabs are, but I’m still in shock. Israel carried out one of the largest ‘terrorist attacks’ (by the West’s own definition) against civilians in recent history, and everyone just shrugged and moved along.
If the bombs won’t kill them, if the starvation won’t kill them, if the injuries won’t kill them, if the bullets won’t kill them, if the diseases won’t kill them, if the lack of medical care won’t kill them.. the Israelis & Americans will find every other way to kill them.
"#Gaza is the real-world embodiment of hell on earth for its one million children. And it’s getting worse, day by day, as we see the horrific impact of the daily airstrikes and military operations on Palestinian children." - @1jameselder, @UNICEF
every single day, multiple times a day, (and even if you’re not looking for it!) on twitter you can see videos of people being killed in gaza and yet some of you are being willfully ignorant about why a person would say “both sides are bad” regarding the american election
Joint statement: Included in US Congress’ $20B weapons package to Israel is an order for 50,000 High Explosive Mortar Cartridges (worth $83.7M CAD) from Quebec. CJPME, @IndJewishVoices & @WBWCanada are calling on 🇨🇦@melaniejoly to block these explosives from reaching Israel.
Gaza City this time last year. Now almost completely destroyed. The scale of the loss is beyond comprehension. A crime against humanity in the truest meaning of the words
This is UN satellite data. As many Israeli soldiers and political leaders have openly said, the goal is to make sure people in Gaza have nothing left to return to.
This is not a war "against Hamas."
A day after US-Egypt-Qatar push ceasefire deal, Israel bombs and massacres more than 100 people at a school shelter in Gaza city when people were lining up for morning prayer. Israel does not want peace. Israel is making Gaza a hell on earth. All complicit and enabling parties to this ongoing genocide will be remembered forever for your evil and complete disregard for humanity.
The genocide in #Gaza is happening because @JustinTrudeau and @melaniejoly signed off on it with their statements. The war in #Lebanon is happening for the same reasons.
Politicians and their statements aren’t just a twitter game. They have real consequences. VOTE THEM OUT.
Doctor: “All of the disasters I’ve seen combined, 40 mission trips, 30 years, Ground Zero, earthquakes. All of that combined doesn’t equal the level of carnage I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza”
Reporter: Is it mostly children?
Doctor: Almost exclusively…
Israeli lawmakers just voted 68-9 to oppose the idea *in principle* of a Palestinian state, ever. The vote was “intended to express the blanket opposition that exists among the [Israeli] people.” Israel has chosen a path of perpetual Apartheid: now how will @melaniejoly respond?
An absolute nightmare. The cruelty of the Israeli regime against Palestinians is beyond comprehension and imagination. What is humanity even. What is human rights. This cruelty must end. Sanctions now. Two way arms embargo now. Stop this at all costs.
I wake up to new horrors everyday. To new massacres and war crimes committed by Israeli forces. Make it stop. Make it end. The Israeli regime must fall. Zionism must fall. Dismantle it all. Palestinians deserve to live and be free.
Joe is banking on us not reading this report. The data he cites simply isn't in it. I'm confident he never read it. While I don't agree w/ a lot of the authour's framings & assumptions, here are some findings Joe wouldn't want you to see. A brief-ish 🧵
And for those that have called out the attacks on healthcare in Ukraine but have stayed silent for the 9 months of sustained and systematic attacks on healthcare in Palestine, is just disgustingly racist and telling of your character and integrity. You make me sick.
