Exclusive 🧵 to the [@CIJ_ICJ]
(!): disturbing language
Israeli military commanders and officers calling to “kill civilians”, “kill children”, “starve Gazans to death”, “erase Gaza”, & “spread diseases among civilians”.

Incredible. Only hours before Netanyahu decided to claim this strike was a mistake, the IDF edited the humanitarian zone yet again, the one they had unilaterally declared, to say the refugee tents they struck in Rafah were not part of it.
Notice how no one is talking about tunnels anymore. No way to keep pretending there are tunnels and weapons stores at each of these civilian bombing sites. These home demolitions. Hospital and university and mosque and church bombings.
Palestinian truck drivers face possible lynchings - if they are suspected of carrying aid to a starving population.
Another inevitable horror of genocidal mania.
The armed ruling-class entities that are advertised as "brave" by mass media are typically anything but. US soldiers are deployed to brutalize poor people across the world, while police are deployed to brutalize vulnerable citizens at home. Glorifying oppression to the oppressed.
The talking points went out about Hillel and like clockwork the bad faith machines are repeating them. So a little about Hillel and why they are an explicit arm of the Israeli apartheid regime:
This is an absolutely incredible, must-watch, all-timer of a clip.
The Secretary of State admits social media has made it almost impossible to hide atrocities and a sitting senator agrees by saying outloud that was a factor in leveraging the power of the state against TikTok.
Incredible historical document here: Blinken says Israel’s PR is failing because social media allows people a direct look at what’s happening, shorn of the ability to mediate it, and it lands with emotional resonance. Romney then says yes, that’s why we moved to ban TikTok
I haven’t read torture accounts like this since Abu Ghraib during the US attack on Iraq, which caused the Supreme Court to rule against President Bush, whose White House falsely insisted the Geneva Conventions did not apply.
“Thousands of victims remain missing, either because it was impossible to recover them from under the debris in light of insufficient equipment and technical know-how, or because their bodies were either hidden by the Israeli army or no longer exist,” the Euro-Med report reads.”
This is the nihilism at the heart of American society. The desire to be idle and unbothered before anything else, and the idea that anything could intrude on that from the outside world is to be opposed with all the might you would otherwise reserve for caring about someone else.
