I had asked about this horrific crime by Israel — using drones to broadcast recordings of crying children so they could shoot Palestinians who were lured — when I first saw it reported in Gaza in 2024.

The Biden admin spokesperson saw no evil.

The Trump spokesperson hasn’t had a briefing in almost a year.

Now Israel is reportedly doing it in Lebanon. Video by @decensorednews

“I think it’s really, really clear where Jews of conscience stand [on Palestine].”

Canadian Party Leader @avilewis explains to @mehdirhasan why he identifies as anti-Zionist and believes most North American Jews feel similarly.

The US/Israeli way of war.

This image was posted by an Israeli soldier in southern Lebanon. Israeli soldiers have been posting imagines of their war crimes and cultural desecration for two and a half years straight without interruption.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Some states say they can’t act on Israel's genocide because "the ICJ hasn’t ruled''. But it has. In July 2024 the ICJ found the occupation illegal, ordered it dismantled, and banned aid or assistance. Keeping trading with and arming Apartheid Israel means one thing: complicity.

And yet you are complicit in allowing it again.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

On Yom HaShoah, we remember the more than six million Jewish people who were murdered in the Holocaust.

Our remembrance is vigilance – so that “Never Again” is always true.

You came to China, got caught spying, were used as a bargaining chip by your government that was so deeply cucked to the US that it kidnapped a Chinese executive for doing business with Iran, and now want to sabotage mass EV adoption with the last of your relevance.

Go to hell.

Imagine being so ugly your own genocidal government condemns the publication of your photograph as a hate crime.

Pierre Poilievre’s LinkedIn is looking pretty thin.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

The Carney Liberals did not win a majority government through a general election or today's by-elections. Instead, it was won through backroom deals with politicians who betrayed the people who voted for them.

While the Prime Minister spent the year on this cynical power grab, he has doubled the deficit, and given Canada the worst grocery prices and housing costs in the G7.

Liberals expect Canadians to give up, get complacent and go away, so Carney can have total power without any accountability. That will not happen. Our country and its people are worth fighting for.

We will continue to fight for people to afford homes, food and fuel.

We will continue to fight for safety in our streets.

We will continue to fight for our resource workers and soldiers.

I will continue to lead that fight every day and in every way in Parliament, across the country and in the next election, when Canadians will reclaim the country we know and love.

Hamzah: You guys killed children in Lebanon, is that okay?

IDF Soldier: Yeah, this is okay because of Hamas.

Hamzah: What about the children, the babies?

IDF Soldiers: The babies is good to kill.

Hamzah: Really, in Lebanon?

IDF Soldier: Yes, in Lebanon, in Gaza, in Iran

Hamzah: Have you ever killed any Palestinian children?

IDF Soldier: I killed

Hamzah: How many?

IDF Soldiers: I don't know.

Hamzah: You don't keep track?

IDF Soldier: No, but I killed.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

The most f*cked up aspect of this is the "DoorDash grandma" t-shirt she's wearing, and the implications of this: I checked and this is a pre-organized PR stunt between DoorDash and the White House (they boast about it on their website: https://t.co/AHDUwKQfgj).

The lady - Sharon Simmons, "a grandmother of ten" who has "completed more than 14,000 deliveries" - isn't even from DC, they brought her over from Arkansas as a prop for this.

Think about just how uniquely rotten things need to be in order for this to happen.

She is literally a grandmother relying on gig work because she can't afford healthcare for her husband's stage-3 cancer. She doesn't even get paid a living wage and needs to rely on tips. And as an "independent contractor," she gets no benefits, no healthcare, no retirement.

Which means she is an almost perfect illustration of the failure of the American social contract on almost every level: healthcare, labor rights, retirement, wages, etc. Any decent human being looking at her story - let alone policymakers - should feel only one thing: shame.

Yet DoorDash and the White House looked at this woman and saw a photo op. They flew her from Arkansas, branded her "DoorDash grandma" and used her as a mascot for a tax tweak - no tax on tips - that wouldn't even begin to cover her husband's chemo sessions.

Watching the actual video of her "delivery" to Trump (https://t.co/xzNDJq71Jx) is almost unreal. Trump opens up by saying, smiling at the camera, "who says it looks staged? It doesn't." They immediately proceed to do a joint press conference to a bunch of journalists who were conveniently standing right there.

None of the questions that follow during the next 15 minutes are related to Simmons' situation who just stands there. Journalists, the President, and cameras all obsessing over culture wars and the actual war in Iran, while the walking embodiment of the country's deepest structural failures - healthcare, labor, retirement - stands silently in a corporate t-shirt, unmentioned and too uncomfortable to confront.

[Alex Cosh @AlexCosh_]

He was shot in the head by an Israeli drone.

Anand makes no mention of this but politely asks Israel to “cease its attacks.”

If you’re Canadian and Israel kills you, this is the absolute most you can expect from this government.

[Dyab Abou Jahjah @Aboujahjah]

Lebanese here. Israel destroyed our house in 1976, I was five. We were ethnically cleansed to another town. Israel destroyed our home again in 1982, I was 11. We escaped with our life and rebuilt our home. Israel destroyed it again in 2024. No one believes your lies.

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

The schools that had the most prevalent protests - including Columbia where I work - either suspended or expelled most of the students protesting Israel's genocide of Gaza. One of my former students has a 3 year (!!!) suspension.

Then, the schools enacted rules making protest nearly impossible. And the very people who pressured the schools to do this are now saying "Where are all the protests?".

Idiots.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

This video of Israel soldiers casually throwing what appears to be a Palestinian youth off from the roof of a building has shocked the world.

Look how comfortable they walk away after throwing the youth to his death.

As if they have done it 100s of times before.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Netanyahu just admitted Israel targeted "family members of Basij members." Not combatants. Family members. Wives. Children. Parents.

International law isn't being violated. It's being mocked

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Israel quite clearly started this war, brought the U.S. along, and now is refusing to end it even as the U.S. has announced it’s over. AIPAC trying to play the victim here suggests they are feeling genuine pressure.

[Angelo Giuliano 🇨🇭🇮🇹 @angeloinchina]

1944 Hitler introducing a "gas chamber".... (Topic forbidden to question/debate)...

Nahhh this is 2026 from a European supremacist representing Israel, a sick society.

This is Ben Gvir introducing execution chamber for Palestinian people, the same owners of the land colonisers stole.
Palestinian prisoners used to be tortured and sodomized, now they will be executed as well.

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

If you are interested in why Islamophobia is often simply racism perhaps examine the time lines of some of the people who so enthusiastically follow you on @x. Take this thread for example.
You are using texts in a way which is false to the lived experience of almost all religious believers - Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc. Do you really think 2 billion people - a quarter of the world’s population - believe or want to implement what you claim? And what would you propose to do about it if they did?
