American democracy in iraq :

This is Ali - a hooded prisoner standing on a box with wires attached to his hands & if he falls off the box he will be electrocuted. 1/n

Everyone please read this. What happened at Al-Shifa will go down as one of the most depraved acts of mass murder in modern history

An absolute must read.

NEW: UN’s Director in the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights resigns in protest of Israel’s Gaza operation, calling it a genocide and criticising UN for failing the Gazans and the international community

[Ramy Abdu| رامي عبده @RamAbdu]

⚠️ Frightening scenes of Palestinian civilians in West Bank being tortured, humiliated and lynched by Israeli army.

[ahmed - Gaza 🇵🇸 @CollateralTweet]

The bombardment in Gaza tonight is the most intense ever. The scale of the attacks is crazy, to a level even unprecedented for Gazans. Yet, Gaza is without internet. People can't even peer out their windows to see.

Thus, there's no media coverage.

@TheresaLubowitz One of the primary issues holding back the Free Palestine movement is the conflation of Zionism with Judaism. When people do idiotic things like this, they’re only making it harder for our arguments to be heard. The Jewish community as a whole has nothing to do with this.

[Séamus Malekafzali @Seamus_Malek]

If there is any better evidence that Israel is lying about the hospital airstrike, it's this: the first reports of the explosion occurred at around 7:20 PM local time. Every video the IDF or the Israeli government is sharing around show a blast that occured between 7:59 and 8:00.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

This is horrific. This is a war crime. We cannot stay silent.

The Israeli government must be held responsible.

[Omar Shakir @OmarSShakir]

Breaking: @hrw has confirmed—based on verified video & witness accounts—that Israel used white phosphorus in Gaza & Lebanon. White phosphorus causes excruciating burns—causing lifelong suffering—& can set homes afire. Its use in populated areas is unlawful https://t.co/AzN4bAHkau

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The level of misinformation in all directions at this moment is incredibly high, especially on this platform.

If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources.

[The IMEU @theIMEU]

BREAKING: Biden lied this afternoon during a speech, saying he’d seen photos of "terrorists beheading children."

The White House immediately walked it back, saying he in fact had not seen photos, only unverified claims.

Disinformation has deadly consequences for Palestinians.

My statement on the continuing violence in Israel and Gaza.

[Abdallah Fayyad @abdallah_fayyad]

I wrote about the Israeli occupation of Palestine and where the “cycle of violence” begins—not with a single attack but by slowly and methodically, over the course of generations, vanquishing all hope among innocent people who have never known freedom. https://t.co/y4nPnINSTM

[Sarah Leah Whitson @sarahleah1]

Folks, unless you've got some hard facts (not more allegations) to support gruesome allegations of decapitated babies and mass rape --which Israeli army says it can't confirm confirm - please take a pause from asserting it has happened.

Recall the allegations of mass rape in Libya and Syria all turned out to be false, though that did not stop media from repeating it.

I want to tell you a little story about why you should turn your back on the @NDP right now. Because @theJagmeetSingh , @MaritStiles , and the parties they run have turned their backs on us. A 🧵

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

The fog of war lies thick all around. It’s so hard to sort out pebbles of fact from mountains of propaganda.

But here’s one thing I know: I’m just appalled.

Appalled by what Hamas unleashed: the slaughter of civilians, homes drenched in terror and raw vengeance. 1/8

[Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura @arnesa_kustura]

Today I spoke to several distinguished genocide scholars & educators. We discussed the situation & focused specifically on this statement & the many others like it coming out of Israel’s govt.

All 6 of us agreed that this fully espousing genocidal intent.
