This is my favourite analogy (@caitoz) about why we are holding our breath instead of celebrating the ceasefire and Trump’s peace plan:

“If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he'll attack the kid again.”

I will wait to see what Israel is going to do after they get their hostages back. There is a strong chance they will resume the genocide and continue to ethnically cleanse Gaza.

I will be happy to celebrate if true peace comes and Israel ends the occupation, oppression and Palestinians achieve the right to self determination and statehood.

Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his grandparents used to live in this house and now he won't leave.

My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave.

They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don't even care about his religion, I just don't like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff.

"The poor guy just wants one room to call his own," his friends say in his defense. "You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That's kind of bigoted and evil."

He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it's understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don't hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us.

And what's weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I'm coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he's been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It's like there's a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue.

It's having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy's being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It's really unfair.

Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he'd never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends claim I'm saying the guy should be exterminated and try to get me in trouble.

It's a real mess, man.

That guy sucks.

They were in Lebanon.

THEY WERE IN LEBANON.

THEY WERE KILLED IN FUCKING LEBANON, THE COUNTRY THEY WERE FUCKING INVADING.

I feel like I'm going insane.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

They taught their children to fear the word "socialism" while their government was overthrowing socialist governments across four continents.

They taught their children that democracy was their "greatest export" while their intelligence services were assassinating democratically elected leaders.

They taught their children that America had never lost a war while losing wars.

They taught their children that the market was "free" while using military force to open other countries' markets.

They taught their children that they were "the good guys" and then sent those children to places that had never been given the option of seeing them as anything else.

And the children came home broken, or did not come home, and the country called them "heroes" and moved on, and the next generation of children was taught the same things, and the cycle continued, and the people who profited from the cycle donated to the libraries and universities that produced the textbooks that kept the cycle running.

This is not a conspiracy.

This is an ecosystem.

And everyone inside an ecosystem experiences it as nature.

[James D. Schwartz 🇵🇸 @jamesschwartz]

@larryelder Gaza, by population, is about 1-166th the size of the United States.

Israel killed well over 70,000 Gazans in its genocide. Mostly civilians, including tens of thousands of women and children.

Adjust for population, that is the equivalent of 11 million Americans killed.

[Jewish Voice @jewishvoicelive]

Zionists are not Jews, and Jews are not Zionists.

Israel is not a Jewish state. Israel is a Zionist state. Zionism is not Judaism. Zionists are not Jews. Jews are fighting against Zionism. The enemy of the Jews is not the Palestinian people. The enemies of the Jews are Zionism and Israel. Before the establishment of Israel, Jews lived peacefully as neighbors with Muslims and Christians in the Palestinian territories. Zionists came and ended this friendship. If you want to do good to the Jews, stop supporting Israel. Supporting Israel harms the Jewish people.

[James D. Schwartz 🇵🇸 @jamesschwartz]

@EYakoby lol. The NYT was complicit in downplaying and covering up the Gaza genocide. Funny how you don’t even realize they are more on your side than on the side of humanity…

[Israel Exposed @xIsraelExposedx]

Everyone who participated or made excucses for the genocide in Gaza will be punished. You can tell when you listen to them talk, they know. There will be no holocaust museum in the world that will not note Gaza.

@amjadt25 Genocide supporters like yourself do not speak on behalf of 8.3 billion people…

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

After the “ceasefire” was declared on 10 October 2025, Israel continued to attack and bomb civilians throughout Gaza. Since then, it has killed 1,003 residents of the Strip.

Since October 2023, Israel has killed more than 73,000 people and forcibly displaced about 1.9 million from their homes, as part of the genocide in the Gaza Strip. It has destroyed the healthcare system and massively damaged water infrastructure, education systems and other essential services.

In this so-called ceasefire, Israel has continued to kill people, block the entry of humanitarian aid and use starvation as a method of warfare, while preventing reconstruction and repair of vital systems.

The killing, destruction and dispossession have not stopped for a moment: the genocide continues.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

I try not wish ill upon others... to be positive...

...but exceptions can make for the British elites involved in imprisoning the Palestine Action activists for trying to stop a genocide.

This is the moral equivalent of imprisoning Germans who hid Jews during the holocaust.

These people are the true cancerous scum of the universe ... may you all suffer for all eternity for your crimes.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

I am proud to be the first Democrat to take this pledge to reject money from AIPAC and affiliated groups, recognize the genocide in Gaza, and oppose aid to Israel and military sales that kill civilians.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

US Sanctions? Hear the case, then decide for yourself.
You may disagree with my words, my findings, or my work as a UN independent expert altogether. That is legitimate.
But using sanctions against me for fulfilling a mandate is not debate about opinions: it is an abuse of power.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

They raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries.
The video of the assault was leaked.

Now the rapists are free.

This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick!

After the right to torture Palestinians, Apartheid Israel claims the right to HANG Palestinians. The shame of the century continues.

[Novara Media @novaramedia]

“Israel is accelerating the genocide against the Palestinian people.”

UN special rapporteur @FranceskAlbs addresses Israel's apartheid death penalty law, which was passed earlier this week.

“Israel has been emboldened by the impunity that has been granted to it,” Albanese explains, adding that all the countries conducting ‘business as usual’ with the apartheid state are, to an extent, complicit.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The Israelization of liberal democracies becomes more visible. The illusion of the vote (as in "the only democracy of the ME") obscures the repression of minorities perceived as encumbrances (eg migrants, refugees, Muslim communities) and those who stand with them. Even MPs.

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Israel's conviction rate of Palestinians (in military courts) is 99.74%

Israel's conviction rate of reported settler attacks on Palestinians is 1.8%

Israel's death sentence will only apply against Palestinians not Israeli Jews

It's not complicated. It's Apartheid!

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

Why did this young man travel all the way from Connecticut to invade my family’s country? Who encouraged him to participate in such a horrible crime against Lebanon?
