The UN reports that no food has entered northern Gaza in nearly 2 weeks. Israel must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need. Civilians must be protected and must have access to food, water, and medicine. International humanitarian law must be respected.

For over a year Biden officials have justified Israel’s slaughter in Gaza by saying Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields.

Now even the NYT admits what we’ve known all along, every accusation is a confession.

Wow, Sky News managed to highlight the double standards in Western media in one post.

-Israeli soldiers are “teenage victims” of a named attacker
-Palestinian refugees are “people reportedly [to cast doubt] killed” by an unnamed attacker

Nothing to see here, just Israel’s prime minister threatening the UN again. You see he’s laying the groundwork to justify attacking another UN entity.

People characterise this theme of takes as genocide denial, but reality is they’re expressions of frustration with & embarrassment by the IOF’s incompetence, & cope with the shattering of image of superiority: “we’re losing because we’re too good 😌🤬

The latest from Israel’s “left wing progressive” newspaper Haaretz is they’ve published a self serving piece demonising Palestinians & accusing them of “exploiting” their own suffering, & signed off the piece as an anonymous from Gaza. These people have no shame whatsoever

It doesnt get worse than this.

All of the victories of anticolonial movements to regulate guerilla warfare & impose a restriction on colonial powers from indiscriminately killing civilians (ie, AP I Art 50, 51, 57) is now toilet paper for the West.

If you're wondering if this quotes any polling data, nope! Just an assertion without evidence, in an article with curiously no byline.

Many Iranians are furious that the regime has spent billions of dollars arming proxies that were meant to deter Israeli attacks but have instead invited them.

Tonight, an American civilian is spending his 23rd birthday as a hostage in Gaza. This is his second birthday spent in the Hamas terror tunnels. Please amplify the plight of Omer Neutra to demand the American government not abandon one of our own. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW

Germany “won’t shy away” from helping Israel attack civilians, declared Foreign Minister @ABaerbock in the Berlin Parliament. Just recently, Chancellor Scholz reaffirmed that Germany will continue to send weapons into the hands of the Israeli occupation forces.

Look at how - and with how much weight of tragedy - they give the names of the four war criminals killed.

The way this is presented here you’d think these were British soldiers.

The potency of propaganda is amazing. I'd bet most Americans don't know that Israel was bombing Gaza throughout 2023 **before the Oct 7 attack** -- just like most Americans believe the lie that Hamas beheaded Israeli babies on that date and killed 1,200 civilians.
Completely misleading. Israel bombs when they are attacked by the enemy. 2023 was retaliation. Please be honest

The way she gets brought home: Stop genocide, institute a ceasefire, and agree to a prisoner exchange
