After the Gaza hospital attack Israeli spokesperson claimed responsibility for attack on X and later deleted it. Many sources report this but Western media remains silent. https://t.co/0sqh0ivs86

[Erik Lysén @ErikLysen]

En fullständig humanitär katastrof pågår i Gaza. EU tredubblar sitt humanitära bistånd. Men vad gör Sverige, mer än att frysa det långsiktiga biståndet? @sigriddiana @Act_Svk #israel #palestine #gaza

Moving more than one million people across a densely populated warzone to a place with no food, water, or accommodation, when the entire territory of Gaza is under siege, is extremely dangerous – and in some cases, simply not possible.

Worrying. Not even election day and this already seems to be the most violent polls in Liberia since the end of the civil war. https://t.co/YDUCFjFKNt

Another example of Western reporting that conflates calls for putting corrupt elites on trial and indicting war criminals. The result is an overestimation of the popular support for a war crime tribunal in Liberia. https://t.co/8rLje6MIN7
