[PREDATORS @predatorsdoc]

PREDATORS is now streaming on @paramountplus

What's the legacy of the iconic TV show "To Catch a Predator?" How do we prevent abuse? What does our entertainment say about us?

@davidosit asks these questions and more in the documentary PREDATORS

More doctors say that decades in war zones did not prepare them for Gaza; that horrors defy description; that Israeli snipers shot children in the head.

Kids and families playing football. Israel hated that. So they bombed them. Simple as that.

a Zionist fanatic at the Oxford Union angrily asks George Galloway if he is racist because of his opposition to the genocidal Israeli occupation, and is applauded by the audience. Here's Galloway's response that gets the audience to applaud him by the end:

New York City libraries are facing a $58.3 million budget cut that could force most branches to reduce service to just five days a week. On the Day of Action for Libraries, tell @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil: #NoCutsToLibraries https://t.co/aCwgQ0JNoJ

[Remi Kanazi @Remroum]

Palestinians: From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free

The US: That's antisemitic

Netanyahu: From the river to the sea, it will all be Israel and there will never be a Palestinian state

The US: Here's $14 billion dollars and some more bombs for genocide

[david osit @davidosit]

i'm only here on X to proudly share the announcement of @FW4Palestine, a coalition of film workers using their platform to call out loudly and peacefully for a Free Palestine

[Film Workers For Palestine @FW4Palestine]

🎬 We are a group of 700+ counting filmworkers demanding a ceasefire, an end to the criminalization of being pro-Palestine & urging filmmakers to use their platforms to highlight the Palestinian struggle! 🍉

A Health Ministry spokesperson estimates that 200-300 Palestinians were killed in one go when the IOF struck the hospital. Just like that, Israel can massacre hundreds of people with the full backing of the white “civilized” world. We are witnessing a devastating genocide.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Today, I'm thinking of all those in Israel and Palestine suffering unimaginable pain, trauma and fear.

The horrific attacks on civilians in Israel were deplorable. This cannot justify the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians, who are paying the price for a crime they did not commit.

Half of Gaza’s population are children. Trapped in an open-air prison without food, water, gas or electricity, they are watching their homes turn to rubble with nowhere to go.

We should condemn the use of violence against all civilians, Israeli and Palestinian. And we must renew our calls for an immediate ceasefire to prevent any further loss of life.

In times of war, we need more voices for peace — and the only way to achieve peace is to end the occupation.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

Another piece of hypocrisy to anticipate: The media will certainly refer to the massacre Israel is about to commit in Gaza as a “response,” but no ever refers to Palestinian violence as a response to a STATUS QUO of murderous Israeli violence & brutality & land theft & apartheid.

[david osit @davidosit]

@GoodVibePolitik even harder for me to stomach is the baked-in ultimate justification of any and all actions, however evil, murderous or immoral, for the sake of preserving what we love

[Mayor @mayor_film]

It's been 3 years since MAYOR premiered, but because of COVID it took this long to plan our premiere in Ramallah. Last week, we finally got to screen the film there - and gave Mayor Musa his Emmy Award plaque.

[Andy Greenberg (@agreenberg at the other places) @a_greenberg]

My new book, TRACERS IN THE DARK, is out today. It draws on 11 years of reporting, since I wrote the first print magazine article on Bitcoin in 2011. It's the most epic true crime/detective story I've ever come across as a reporter. I hope you'll read it. https://t.co/DlVxA2kuU6

MAYOR just won an Emmy! Here is Director @davidosit accepting the award on behalf of "anyone with the courage to stand publicly with Palestinian rights in the west."

[david osit @davidosit]

@zillowgonewild i hung out in this house as a child, my father was friends with the man who lived there. i'd run around with his 6 year old son, there were tons of secret passages and nooks and attics. i forgot it existed. it was kid heaven!
