The mountains look on Marathon—
And Marathon looks on the sea;
And musing there an hour alone,
I dream'd that Greece might still be free. (Lord Byron)

@HistoricRecord @greekcitytimes It does agitate for recognition of the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek genocides. See, for example, https://t.co/cj6tLq6oEF

@mckinnon_a I listened to the interview. Marr thought he was doing "Genocide Media Watch" but Chris Hedges admirably held his ground.

Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy wins the Athens Democracy Prize for documenting Israel's occupation. He was described as a journalist who "gives voice to the silenced, exposes crimes in Gaza, and condemns violence, expulsions and genocide." https://t.co/uB5fmAyW73

15 doctors, from all over the world, showed how at least 114 Palestinian children were killed with a single gunshot wound to head/chest. THIS IS GENOCIDE.

[Mark Seddon @MarkSeddon1962]

They are admitting it now. More than 200,000 Palestinian casualties. This is mass murder. It is a genocide. https://t.co/fCvwBdARuR

GENOCIDE LETTERDROP

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Israeli 🇮🇱 leaflets dropped into Gaza City 🇵🇸 this morning, ordering innocent civilians to fully evacuate the city immediately.

Western ‘leaders’ & media silent.

They are turning Gaza City into rubble for real estate.

Israel 🇮🇱 is a terrorist state.

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

Say 'NO' to the bullying of the pro-Israel Lobby!

Writing GENOCIDE and ISRAEL in the same tweet triggers some kind of silencing mechanism in the algorithm, and the post gets throttled.

So let's try and break Elons algorithm today...

ISRAEL IS COMMITTING A GENOCIDE IN GAZA.

If you see this & agree, like it and retweet it.

My inescapable conclusion has become that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

Trump's sanctions against the UN rapporteur for the Israeli-occupied territories attempt to censor criticism of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza. She has been a courageous voice: legally sophisticated, factually accurate and unsparing in her criticism but fair. https://t.co/hN4WJifRCc

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

There is probably no better way to commemorate the victims of the genocide in Srebrenica 30 years ago than to act now to prevent new victims of the genocide that Israel is committing in Gaza. https://t.co/SXDG72PZ7t

The most curious story ever: The Oz reports that police believe an “alleged criminal group” was behind almost all anti-Semitic attacks being investigated in NSW. Motive was to reveal the fake plot and get shorter sentences. Big apology due to Australian Islamic community and…
