“it’s illegal to be gay in palestine why are you fighting for them”
meanwhile, and i’m not exaggerating, HUNDREDS of antilgbtq laws have been passed this year alone in the US. just how queer people still exist despite y’all trying to outlaw us here, they still exist in palestine
Note the proposal is to limit Palestinians exiting Gaza to 2,000 people per day. Therefore in practice this will not "allow civilians to leave Gaza" but rather allow the US and Israel to say the millions remaining in Gaza are not civilians.
COLLEGE ADMISSIONS OUT OF CONTROL is making the rounds again, so gonna once again bang this drum: more than 60% of all 4 yr institutions let in *at least* 75% of applicants. there is no social crisis of college admissions excluding otherwise qualified kids.
does not exist.
The official Twitter of the Israeli Embassy in Panama is unironically trying to push an AI photo as real.
I cannot stress enough, given the past three days, how ill prepared most people, most of you are for the coming Disinformation Age.
Turns out the source of the "beheaded babies" canard is an extremist Israeli settler leader, David Ben Zion, who "has a history of calls to genocidal violence" & wiping out entire villages!
He literally wishes to see Palestinians ethnically cleansed & the media is helping him!
In 2000, an Israeli reporter asked Edward Said if he agreed with those who said Israel needs to be 'de-Zionized' (even some Israeli leftists like Matzpen used this phrase).
His response:
Israel has destroyed:
17 mosques
4 universities fully, 6 damaged partially
1290 homes fully, 10800 partially
84 industrial facilities
46 media offices fully & partially
67 schools fully & partially
Entire neighbourhoods are gone!
Much of Gaza has become unrecognisable...
this is ethnic cleansing. there is no ability for palestinians who leave to return. this isn’t a “good compromise”, this is a population transfer. has everyone lost their minds

if you're engaging with an israel sympathizer, something that can be generative is telling them about Breaking the Silence (@btsisrael) – an israeli org sharing the testimonies of over 1000 IDF soldiers blowing the whistle on the occupation and how israel treats palestinians
im still hung up that people are like talking about 'its tragic because this will result in more palestinians being harmed' and completely gloss over that there's someone who will be voluntarily doing the excessive killing. like its just like fucking godzilla or something
