Whilst you’re celebrating Christmas, please keep the first Christian nation, Armenia, in your prayers today. Not only are our churches being demolished and destroyed, but our lands are being taken inch by inch as we speak.

Christmas spirit won’t reach Armenia this year.

BREAKING:

🇮🇹🇮🇱 Italy Imposes Full Arms Embargo on Israel

This comes after Israel attacked the UNIFIL with chemical weapons.

The embargo includes blocking all contracts signed after October 7, with existing licenses being reviewed on a case-by-case basis to assess any potential risks of military materials being used in the conflict.

The Italian PM emphasised that the restrictions are more stringent than ones currently imposed by France and the UK - which have not enacted widespread bans.

They're using an image of Palestinians being burned alive by Israel for this headline, btw.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

There is no moral difference between putting people in gas chambers and burning people in safe zones inside tents.

A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.

I usually air my strongest non-footballing opinions elsewhere, but this is the biggest platform I have, and some things just need to be said.

Rarely am I left speechless, but I find myself struggling to even begin, because no collection of words could even begin to capture the magnitude of horror, cruelty, and sheer atrocity of what’s going on in Gaza.

The fact that this is openly taking place in the 21st century is a grotesque reminder that despite all our supposed progress, we remain complicit in allowing the darkest corners of cruelty to thrive unchecked.

To say I’m disgusted would be the understatement of my life.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline.

As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone.

For example:

1. Treating the 4 Israeli soldiers as more important than the 23 Palestinian children (by leading the story with their deaths and just chucking in the others at the end) implies their lives are of higher value.

2. Infantilizing active duty soldiers as "teenagers" while not emphasizing the age of the schoolkids, despite many of them being demonstrably younger.

3. The classic use of the passive voice: Israelis are "killed" while Palestinians merely "die".

4. Putting scare quotes around "23 die" subtly undermines the credibility of that claim. Maybe no one died, and the Palestinians are just lying?

5. Using the word "attack" for Hezbollah actions, but choosing a more neutral, clinical word like "strike" for Israeli aggression.

6. Allowing Israeli sources to dictate the framing of the story ("Israel names teenage soldiers") etc.

7. Actually naming the Israeli soldiers, but not doing the same for the far greater number of Palestinians, again sends the message to the reader that Palestinian lives don't matter nearly as much, if at all.

It's truly incredible how much propaganda has been packed into 16 words. We are swimming in an ocean of propaganda. That's why it is crucial to deconstruct it and critically assess everything you read, see and hear.

Shut the fuck up you bunch of whiney bitches. You can’t bomb embassies, assassinate foreign leaders, commit genocide and then cry for sympathy. The world will celebrate your demise.

[Nicole 🇦🇲 @coleeyolee]

Imagine if Hezbollah had said this same thing about Israel, the whole world would have been fighting over who is coming to Israel’s rescue and yet when it’s targeted to Lebanon everyone ignores and ignores.

[Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a message to the people of Lebanon:

"You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza."
