(Remember when the MSNBC journalist asked me, “Why not humanize all?” Then please do exactly that. Cover this. Report on it. Tell these families’ stories. If this does not deserve sustained international coverage, what does?)

Today, a historic mass funeral in Gaza City laid to rest 112 Palestinian civilians from the Abu Sharia and Al-Hasayna families, making it the largest single-event funeral procession in Palestinian history. These victims were killed on November 22, 2023, during a devastating Israeli airstrike that completely leveled a densely populated residential block in al-Sabra neighborhood, claiming the lives of approximately 308 people in total. Because israeli intense military attacks and severe equipment shortages blocked emergency access to the site, the bodies remained trapped under the concrete rubble for over two and a half years. The collective burial finally took place at the Baptist Cemetery following an arduous, days-long recovery operation by the Gaza Civil Defense, drawing thousands of mourners to honor the victims, who included over 40 children and 30 women.

Now ask yourself this: if this had happened anywhere else in the world, would there have been live coverage from the scene? Would journalists from CNN, BBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CBC, Sky News, France 24, or other major international outlets have been broadcasting this funeral to a global audience?

Surely, many a single victim elsewhere could command hours of international coverage. But sorry, the victims are Palestinians and the mainstream media does not even consider them human.

@MatthewdAncona @ShippersUnbound Funny. All the transphobes paying tribute to a wife beater and self-confessed pedo.

Seems strangely appropriate.

He's cynical and dishonest.

@kateC3P0 @GadSaad Errr being MAGA is a political decision.

Being Jewish isn't.

@GadSaad Is Gad ever anything other than a drama queen?

Serious teenage girl vibes from this one.

@Joeyforever21 @dominikymd @KonstantinKisin But how do they physically get to the Spanish mainland?

Ignoring laws doesn't make the sea disappear.

@CollinsMikeyc @TRobinsonNewEra What's the problem with white people being in the minority?

[Joe @joe43932]

@mrstomlinstan @CaraPac46808618 @bindelj @HJoyceGender Nobody is pretending that.

These strawman are exhausting.

[Joe @joe43932]

@KonstantinKisin This guy is obsessed with IQ.

He's a teenage boy in a man's body.

@montie Some decent non-partisanship, Montie.

Immoral speech =/= illegal speech

[Joe @joe43932]

@Councillorsuzie Why would this warrant imprisonment?

[Joe @joe43932]

@GEMINI20010 @Councillorsuzie It's simple. I support your human rights, even though I think you're a dickhead.

Not everything has to be partisan.

[Joe @joe43932]

@Councillorsuzie I think homophobes deserve to not be bombed in their homes.

Do you disagree?
