And they want you to believe the real villains are college students, musicians, activists and aid workers.

The full excerpt of the 2018 interview with Sinwar:

The American government has genuinely lost its mind

[Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation @karaokecomputer]

Political self-immolation is one of the most calculated and clear-eyed decisions one can possibly make. It is an act of lighting one’s words on fire to bring their urgency to light. The clarity and purpose of the cause is written in pain and self-sacrifice.

[Madoc Cairns @MadocCairns]

surreal that we’ve passed in a matter of months from “the attack on the hospital was a misfired Hamas rocket” to “the IDF walking into hospitals and shooting patients in their beds is fine”

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Whatever your position is, just take a moment to reflect on just how dark this is.

Just hours after the ICJ concluded that Israel was plausibly committing genocide and ordered it to dramatically step up humanitarian efforts, 7 Western countries sanctioned... not Israel but the Palestinians and the UN (!!!).

They cut funding for UNRWA, which is THE UN agency tasked with humanitarian assistance to Palestinians (and therefore their main lifeline).

Even if you were the world's worst cynic, you'd still have a hard time expecting such sheer level of cruelty and depravation. This is absolutely unfathomable.

They did so with the cheapest possible excuse, effectively using Israel's narrative that "UNWRA is Hamas" and allegations by Israel that some UNWRA staff were involved in the 7th Oct attack but 1) Israel has been making these accusations for months (so the timing of cutting funding right after the ICJ ruling is obviously not a coincidence) and 2) UNWRA has announced it's terminated the contracts of the staff members accused (12 people out of its 30,000 strong workforce) and launched an investigation, so it obviously doesn't condone this. Even if the allegations were to be proven correct, how can an organization of 30,000 staff be held collectively accountable for the individual actions of 0.04% of its workforce? Especially in the current context when its work is a life or death matter for millions of people.

To add to the cynicism here, UNWRA staff are actually a major victim of the war with at least 152 UNRWA staffers killed by Israel in Gaza to date. In a normal world, it is Israel that should be punished for killing so many members of a humanitarian organization. But nope, it's the humanitarian organization that's getting punished, alongside with the very vulnerable population it's committed to helping.

fascism will rot you to your core. it will always kill you in the end. you will not break the will of the people. you will lose.

[soul khan, msw @soulkhan]

none of this was ever about hamas or hostages ever. it was always, always, fucking ALWAYS about killing or driving out palestinians through whatever means they could get away with.

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

Yesterday, the BBC insinuated that ‘Hamas builds tunnels under hospitals’

Today, the Israelis bombed a hospital in Gaza City & killed 500—FIVE HUNDRED—of the doctors, patients, and refugees inside of it.

This is journalism ushering in genocide. We won’t forgive.

[Bruno Maçães @MacaesBruno]

Remarkable reporting from @YousefHammash. Had to watch twice

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

more than 40% of gaza is 14 and under. israeli govt cut off their water, power and food yesterday. 2 million elderly and children living in an open air prison that israel routinely bombs. it’s the most sophisticated baby killing machine out there.

I spoke with the people of East Palestine, Ohio.
The government's deference to Norfolk Southern has left people lost, relying on each other instead. They have alarming symptoms. Their pets are dying. Some are even packing up to leave a place they love.
