Disappointing experience with @AllbirdsNZ @Allbirds 7th pair purchased, shoes were extremely uncomfortable despite “wear-all-day comfort” claims. Customer service was slow, poor, difficult to engage, and no manager escalation - appalling business practices

One has to be blind not to see that Israel has completely lost the majority of the world - including in the West. This is Sydney today.

No level of intimidation, surveillance, or threats can force the majority of humanity to support and defend apartheid and genocide.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Calling the Gaza genocide a "war" is like seeing a man beating a toddler to death and calling it a "fight".

So much evil hides behind calling this thing a war. If you accept that it's a war then you have to take seriously arguments like "It's a war, civilians die in war," or "Hamas shouldn't have started a war they can't win." If it's a war then it has two sides who share comparable levels of responsibility for any bad things that happen during that time.

But it's not a war, it's a naked ethnic cleansing operation being carried out by a highly sophisticated military with the backing of the most powerful empire that has ever existed. It's a globe-spanning power structure openly purging a Palestinian territory of Palestinian life using a full siege and the systematic destruction of all healthcare and civilian infrastructure, being resisted by a few thousand guys with homemade rockets and dwindling supplies. That's not a "war". It's not even a "conflict". It's a slaughter. It's a holocaust.

If the Gaza holocaust is a "war", then shooting fish in a barrel is "hunting". Beating up a quadriplegic is a "street brawl". A SWAT team shooting an unarmed civilian is a "gun fight". No conflicts are perfectly equal, but past a certain level of one-sidedness the language of conflict becomes absurd. The daily massacres we are seeing in Gaza are far beyond that point.

They are raining military explosives on top of a giant concentration camp packed full of children while deliberately starving the entire civilian population to death. They have complete control over the enclave, and they are using that control to eradicate the presence of Palestinians in Gaza. That is not war. That is genocide.

[Swara Bhasker @ReallySwara]

We live in a world where it’s apparently acceptable to slaughter 400 children in one day because they are Palestinian.
What an utterly despicable act of terrorism. I will say it again and again..
Israel is the terrorist. #FreePalestine

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

At least 342 Palestinians have been killed as Israel launched a massive assault on Gaza, shattering the fragile two-month-old ceasefire with Hamas.

Cutting off humanitarian aid to millions of civilians is a war crime. That is exactly what the extremist Netanyahu government is doing now to Palestinians in Gaza.

I���ve introduced resolutions to block billions in offensive arms sales to Israel & will demand votes on these bills.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Starving children is a war crime.

UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”

[Sonny Bill Williams @SonnyBWilliams]

All lives are Equal! Just not when you’re a Palestinian. “Let’s be honest about it. If me saying all lives are equal has resulted in people being offended, well isn’t that the bigger problem?” 🇵🇸

True.🇵🇸

@TaysideAMT @BrendaWaite20 Thanks for your time to catch up and for the sneak peak into some of your amazing work/initiatives!!

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

I don’t always know the right words to say, but as a physician and human, the violence toward medical facilities and patients in Gaza is awful and heartbreaking. To all my colleagues in health care risking their lives to save others, my heart is with you.

[UmHana @UmHana9]

@JAMA_current @CherylynneB Absolute they do. The silence by the medical community about what is happening in Gaza has been deafening. Unfortunately this piece was biased and glossed over Israel’s egregious crimes against Gaza’s healthcare system. Some examples:
