@LeeKurtiss @acnewsitics This entire tweet chain is YOU ranting about Black people and enjoying being outraged about SOMETHING YOU INVENTED.

[No Context Brits @NoContextBrits]

Flawless design.

[Brexit Buster @BrexitBuster]

Unemployed and unemployable former minor jobbing actor Loozza Fox jumps to the defence of cosplay cleric Calvin, his emotional support clown, who is now also unemployed and unemployable. Everything Fox touches turns to shite. 💩

Trump's only been in office for 10 days.

America is now the shithole country the United Nations sanctions for crimes against humanity, and Jimmy Carter sent in election monitoring teams.

GOP removed housing regulations—housing collapsed

GOP removed banking regulations—banks went under

GOP removed railroad regulations—trains derailed

GOP removed FAA regulations—midair crash

Stop deregulating billionaires and transportation industries. Stop listening to GOP.

@ArtemisLynn @Lebbywalrus86 @academic_la The UK colonisers’ atrocities against Irish civilians were DIRECTLY to blame for the IRA’s violent resistance.

The Zionist colonisers’ atrocities against Palestinian civilians are DIRECTLY to blame for Hamas’s violent resistance.

[Fly🪶 @flockofwords]

@ArtemisLynn @Lebbywalrus86 @academic_la OF COURSE the colonisers who have been continuously terrorising displaced non-Jews for decades & throwing them in military prisons without charge or trial & subjecting them to torture up to & including child rape are to blame for the existence of armed resistance who loathe them.

[Critter @asclepiasyriaca]

I'm not saying the Blackhawk #planecrash is Trump's fault..

But if Biden had replaced a Four-Star General Defense Secretary with an abusive drunk Fox News host, and driven out/fired key aviation safety officials, Republicans would be racing to every microphone to blame Biden.

[gdimelow @gdimelow]

Astonishing that BBC News spent 15 minutes covering the Potomac #planecrash and managed to completely avoid mentioning the fact that 8 days ago Trump fired 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head & 3,000 air traffic controllers.

[poletic kate @poetickate]

a single dad in utah dropped his 5 year old off at school and then he was detained by ICE

he’s being detained because of previous traffic violations and has no other criminal record

that 5 year old kid walked out of the school expecting to see his dad and he wasn’t there

@IgRecon @academic_la “Regimes who have done worse.”

My dude, even Israeli Holocaust Scholars agree that Israel is committing genocide.

Jewish Holocaust survivors are repudiating this genocide & saying “not in my name”.

It really doesn’t get much worse than mass murdering & gang raping civilians.

@ArtemisLynn @Lebbywalrus86 @academic_la Hamas literally offered to return ALL the hostages in exchange for Israel not invading Gaza.

That was an option.

Bibi wanted ethnic cleansing, landgrabs & a major distraction from his anticorruption trial.

He dgaf about the hostages as people, just as leverage.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

When the war in Gaza started I supported it. I still think it had to be fought. But I realized the war had to end months ago. People wonder what happened to me and why I changed my mind. I realized three things, that would not give me respite. I simply couldn't ignore them.

1) Israel was not as careful with civilians as it should be and was not disciplining its soldiers properly leading to all sorts of issues, some of which were war crimes. It became apparent that the Israeli courts were not investigating these things sufficiently and they will end up before international tribunals. I was, unfortunately, correct.

2) Israel did not have a day after plan. That meant that no matter how many Hamas terrorists the IDF kills they will not be replaced. It became clear that the diplomatic clock would run out (it took far longer than I expected) and when the sides were finally forced into a ceasefire, Hamas would remain in power. I was, unfortunately, correct.

3) That the Netanyahu government was motivated at least partially by an attempt to survive and keep Ben-Gvir and Smotrich in the coalition and not by the strategic interests of Israel. That could lead to needless bloodshed and a needless delay in the release of the hostages. I was, unfortunately, correct.

These mistakes led directly to the unfortunate situation Israel is in now. Its soldiers and heads of state are afraid to go to other countries. Hamas remains in power, many hostages are dead, and Palestinian civilians have suffered far more than was needed.

The three most important things Israel can learn from this in the future is this:

1) Military force is important but it does not solve all problems. It must be combined with legal, diplomatic and political tools aimed at achieving its goals of security.

2) Nothing can bring Israel genuine long-term security but peace. The use of force only buys time and creates temporary security, often at the expense of long-term stability.

3) The is no contradiction between morality and strategic utility. Not complete contradiction anyway. If Israel had been more careful and had investigated its own actions, its position in the world would be far better.

[Fly🪶 @flockofwords]

@FactFinderAI @AJEnglish Bibi has been ACTIVELY REFUSING Hamas’s offers to return the hostages for 15 months, because he prioritises ethnic cleansing & land grabs ahead of the safety of Israelis.

The IDF murdered Israeli citizens rather than let them be taken hostage, & murdered Israeli citizens in Gaza

[Fly🪶 @flockofwords]

This is the first time I’m hearing about Islamic Jihad holding ay of the hostages?

The coverage has all been Hamas Hamas Hamas Hama - seems like the situation is more complicated?

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Crowds surrounded Israeli captive Arbel Yehud as she was freed by Islamic Jihad in Gaza as part of the ceasefire deal. Yehud was held for 482 days. Watch her release here ⤵️

The air traffic control tower was understaffed - that’s not DEI - that’s because Donald Trump and President Musk are decimating the civilian federal workforce

[B.M. @ireallyhateyou]

This war criminal felt it was wrong when he raided Palestinian houses and turned them into military posts, yet he says he did it hundreds (!) of times until he finished his army service. And now he's "breaking the silence" to clear his conscience, while facing zero consequences.

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

I wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask:

"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"

And see what happens.
