The world only pays attention when mass violence breaks out in Israel and Palestine, but the daily petty tyranny of occupation is violence too. For Palestinians in places like Hebron what the world calls "periods of calm" are still marked by daily cruelty and humiliation.

[Torraine Walker @TorraineWalker]

I need the American mainstream press to scream as loudly about this as they did over Emily Wilder.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Reporting on the Israeli bombing of Gaza shouldn't be hard, but for U.S. media, it's a game of verbal gymnastics.

@sanasaeed gives her critique on the way U.S. media fails to cover Israeli occupation.

[vivafalastin 🇵🇸 @vivafalastin]

the moment you speak out for palestine, zionists put a target on your back. it doesn’t matter how benign what you said was, some form of this is always the result.

[All That's Left: Anti-Occupation Collective @ATLCol]

Settlers just set the sarura village caves on fire. This is the site of the Sumud freedom camp. Police and soldiers watched and did nothing as terrorist settlers set this village on fire. This is the occupation. This is apartheid. But #WeAreSumud

[Sumaya Awad @sumayaawad]

Is the ceasefire coming with an end to the siege? No? Then you better keep planning your next protest.

[Rawan‏𓂆☭ روان @RiverToSea48]

I just want to see the people of Gaza free, living in their villages or wherever in Palestine, peacefully on the beach or near some fruit trees, in our lifetimes

[Sarah Lazare @sarahlazare]

The fact that this is what AP did after Israel bombed its Gaza office shows just how deep anti-Palestinian sentiment runs in US press

[Tom Corcoran @thetomcorcoran]

The AP just fired a Jewish reporter for her support of Palestine in THE SAME WEEK Israel literally bombed the AP’s office in Gaza.

That tells you everything you need to know about who has power (Israel) and who is silenced (Palestinians & supporters of Palestinian liberation).

[suhauna hussain @suhaunah]

Associated Press staff received a memo this morning that @vv1lder is no longer with the company, after conservatives rallied to get her fired because she was part of Students for Justice in Palestine in college

samir mansour, despite the limitation of its offering due to the siege, was the biggest bookshop in gaza. i would find myself roaming it for hours, aimlessly too, because being surrounded by books was a reminder i’ll perhaps find myself in one of these words. it’s all gone now.

[Mariam Barghouti مريم البرغوثي @MariamBarghouti]

Israel destroyed the largest bookshop and the main publishing house of Samir Mansour in #Gaza.

They not only want to shut down our voices, but our access to other works.

This is an attack on knowledge, education, literature, and the exchange of narratives. #Palestine

[Huwaida Arraf @huwaidaarraf]

This is renowned Palestinian physician Dr. Ayman Abu al-Ouf, Head of Internal Medicine & COVID response at Gaza’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa. Israel obliterated him & his family in missile strikes on his neighborhood Sunday. Then they blew up the roads leading to the hospital.

[Remi Kanazi @Remroum]

The difference between a Republican and Democratic president on Palestine: The Republican high fives Israel after it blows up a building filled with civilians, the Democrat gives a low key fist bump.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

Israel targeting media sources is so the world can't see Israel's war crimes led by the apartheid-in-chief Netanyahu.

It's so the world can't see the killing of babies, children and their parents.

It's so the world can't see Palestinians being massacred.
