THREAD 🧵

There are three things in the photo that virtually nobody else sees but me.

[Pelham @Resist_05]

🇺🇳 The United Nations has voted Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian territories as the Person of the Year..!

Francesca has fought relentlessly for an end to the worst genocide in our modern history.

[Marc Owen Jones @marcowenjones]

The more I reflect on what happened in Amsterdam the stranger it seems. A racist team who have a reputation for hate speech come to Amsterdam during a genocide and engage in acts of racism and violence against the local population. They are accompanied by Mossad agents. All this happens under the increased success of Islamophobic Geert Wilders and the PVV. The media, not just in the Netherlands but in Europe and North America publish what looks like an Israeli press release using incendiary language about pogroms and Kristelnacht. Politicians around the world immediately and uncritically embraced this rhetoric and say nothing of pro-genocidal chants. They media mislabel on the ground journalism by Dutch photographer @iAnnetnl to minimise Israeli violence. They ignore evidence from other Dutch journalists like @OmeBender. Channels like Sky News even re-edit packages to maximise the narrative of antisemitism and minimise examples of anti-Arab racism. Dutch parliamentarians then wield propaganda by the Israeli diaspora affairs as if it constitutes evidence. Many media outlets still haven't corrected the record about what happened, from the BBC to WSJ and Sky. It's disturbing and sinister, and shouldn't be allowed to slide.

Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.

🥁Randomized Phase 2 Trial of Felzartamab in Humoral Transplant Rejection

📍Late antibody-mediated kidney transplant rejection
(AMR) is the leading cause of transplant loss
📍Long-term outcomes after AMR diagnosis remain poor
📍No therapeutic strategies have demonstrated efficacy
