I wrote about how the American campus protests for Palestine are being viewed from the Middle East, where Iranians, Lebanese, Yemeni, and Gazans themselves have found themselves inspired by the solidarity they've seen at places like Columbia University.
Let it be known tonight that the United States bombed multiple cities in a different country in order to protect Israel from suffering economic damage while it conducted a genocide.
Sat image of Israel by night.
It’s not a cliche; Israel is a beacon of light in a dark MiddleEast. The only place in the region where people live freely and equally regardless of their faith, race or color. Chanting “from the river to the sea” is a call to turn off the lights.
The IDF releases footage showing some of the damage at the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel, after it was hit by Iranian ballistic missiles overnight.
According to the IDF, the airbase continues to function as usual, and the damage was "minor."
Amazing PR coup by Israel over the past several years where they've convinced basically everyone in America that gay marriage is legal there when it absolutely isn't.
i'm not even saying this as like a "ha ha, i don't know what this is" but i literally don't know what this is. how did $200 million get spent on something i've never seen a single image from before
Macklemore speaks at the “Free Palestine” rally in DC:
“They told me to do my research, that it’s too complex, to be silent … In the last 3 weeks, I’ve gone back & I have done some research, I don’t know everything, but I know enough to know that this is a genocide.”
There is one purpose to release this video, high-up where you can see no faces, without sound so you can hear no gunshots.
Israel is demanding that you look at these Palestinians like insects, swarming these trucks like beasts, and the Israeli troops were forced to open fire.
“This is my apartment, I put my life’s earnings into it. Gone in a minute. I have nothing, I left home with nothing.”In a video uploaded on social media, an 87-year-old man broke down in tears upon seeing his destroyed apartment upon returning home to Khan Younis, Gaza.
This pain this man has suffered over the past three months is beyond the comprehension of so many of us. And yet journalists in the West do not mention him, the sacrifices he has made, and who is targeting him to prevent him from bringing people the truth.
If there is any better evidence that Israel is lying about the hospital airstrike, it's this: the first reports of the explosion occurred at around 7:20 PM local time. Every video the IDF or the Israeli government is sharing around show a blast that occured between 7:59 and 8:00.
🇺🇸🇮🇱 — WATCH: Israeli journalist Barak Ravid wins the Aldo Beckman Award for excellence in White House coverage at the White House Correspondents' Dinner this evening.
Capitol police have been called to Bernie Sander’s office. It is looking increasingly like Pro-Palestine protestors calling for a ceasefire now will be arrested.
How am I supposed to sit here and continue to pretend that comparisons between this state and Nazi Germany are somehow unfounded and moreover uncalled for.
"I am personally proud of the ruins of Gaza, and that every baby, even 80 years from now, will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did."
May Golan, Israeli Minister of Social Equality & Women's Advancement
"Allowed"! That key word. Israel only authorized the reopening of some of these bakeries after months of starvation and only a modicum of American pressure to stop a full-blown famine from intensifying, after denying (and continuing to deny) there is starvation in Gaza at all.
For the first time since the aggression on Gaza began, a bakery in northern Gaza was allowed to reopen for business. Today, I visited the bakery and witnessed the immense relief felt by the community as they held fresh bread for the first time in months.
This flight shouldn't exist. Taking off from Qatar, flying straight over the North Pole, and then landing in Seattle without stopping. Spitting in the face of God. This should take 6 months. I should have to spend 2 months on an icebreaking ship and go insane writing a diary.
I cannot overstate how bad the optics are of saying "The Hague won't stop us" as any country, much less one desperate for Western respect and approval.
Me and my buddy Jake were walking around Crown Heights and we found the grate that the Hasid guys crawled out of from the tunnels they built that one time
I feel crazy that all of this stuff was reported on at the time, filmed and everything, by Palestinians, and yet now it's a scoop because NBC reports on it months later.
According to
@NBCNews
analysis of videos, photos, and interviews with university staff and students, at least 5 of Gaza’s 7 major universities have been destroyed or partially damaged since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
For me, this will be one of the defining images of the genocide. Israelis blocking trucks from being loaded with aid for Gaza.
Look at their hands outstretched, smiles on their faces, imagining themselves at the forefront of a glorious movement to starve people to death.
Mind-boggling to me how supporters of Israel were spreading around this interview as somehow indicative of the IDF's resolve, bravery, and superiority when it was actually incredibly incriminating.
Calling Israelis “settlers” is an ahistorical slur.
Judea and Samaria are the rightful homeland of the Jewish people.
For Biden to target these Israelis—especially as he shows weakness and deference to Iran—is a reckless policy.
Oh my God, they are literally back at the exact same MRI machine they planted weapons at during the first siege on al-Shifa' Hospital in November. They are literally doing all of this shit over again and expecting you to buy it.
🔴Operational update from inside the Shifa Hospital:
Weapons including AK-47s, grenades, explosives, mortars and magazines were located in the hospital's MRI complex, maternity ward and on its roof.
A soldier from the Israeli occupation army kidnaps a puppy from its mother and his colleagues throw stones at her.
"The most ethical army in the world" did not spare a child, nor an elder, nor a woman, nor land, nor a tree, nor a stone, nor an animal.
جندي من جيش الاحتلال…
Israel's Minister of Communications calls on the IDF to cut off the foreskins of Hamas fighters as revenge, as David did with the Philistines in the Tanakh.
I am not joking.
This is a real post by a verified account of an Israeli cabinet minister.
״וְכָל הַבְּאֵרֹת אֲשֶׁר חָפְרוּ עַבְדֵי אָבִיו בִּימֵי אַבְרָהָם אָבִיו סִתְּמוּם פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיְמַלְאוּם עָפָר״. ״וימלאום״ מופיע פעמיים בתנ״ך, אחד כאן ואחד לגבי ערלות פלשתים - לפי שעבר אבימלך על שבועתו ומילא הבארות בעפר, מילא דוד לשאול מאה ערלות פלשתים בכפליים ונתן לו מאתים…
What is the point of learning from the lessons of the Holocaust if we are told that no other event since not only doesn't have any parallels with it, but that it's actively evil to consider any such parallels?
Weaponizing the Holocaust is always wrong and especially when it comes from a head of state. That Brazilian President Lula did so to promote a false, antisemitic claim is outrageous and should be condemned.
Genuine question: what do these people want out of life, exactly? You replace movies with AI, books with AI, music with AI, dating human women with AI, most human interactions with AI. What are you doing any of this for? What are you aiming to experience?
So I met a girl in the Marina last weekend and gave her the number to my dating clone lol
it successfully closed a first date for saturday at 6pm.
should I tell her that she was talking with my clone or see how long I can get away with it?
One of the fears I had about an American invasion of Iran was that the new generation of US soldiers, minds seared by memes and 4chan, would bring that misanthropic humor and use Iranians as a prop for their own amusement. You're seeing that phenomenon with the IDF now in Gaza.
Watching "The Laughing Man" (1966), an East German documentary where GDR filmmakers posed as West German journalists and interviewed Major Siegfried Müller, unapologetic Nazi soldier turned US-siding mercenary in the Congo. The doc is just full of insane quotes like these.
One actual "craziest moment on Twitter" was the cops putting out a call to identify a man at the Capitol Riot and someone joked that he looked like Jay Johnston from Mr. Show and then everybody slowly realized it was in fact Jay Johnston from Mr. Show.
Television actor Jay Johnston, who had recurring roles on “Bob’s Burgers” and “Arrested Development,” has been charged in connection to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
I would like to hear less, in fact nothing at all, from the woman who was literally caught on tape talking about how she wished the United States had rigged the last Palestinian election.
Hillary Clinton on Gaza destruction:
“I think it's fair to say Hamas cares nothing about the civilians who are being murdered or killed, both by Hamas still in Gaza or through military operations by Israel…
“If Hamas would agree to a ceasefire, there would be a ceasefire.”

We’ve obtained a copy of the email sent to faculty & students:
I love when the Palestinian Islamic Jihad flag is found organically inside the hospital, covered in square fold lines, almost like it was folded up neatly and planted there before the photo was taken.
🔴 Hamas weapons, explosives, and ammunition hidden in the maternity ward of Shifa Hospital.
Yes, in the maternity ward.
Inside pillows, beds, ceilings and walls.
Hamas shoots at mothers and babies while hiding behind mothers and babies.
John Fetterman genuinely seems to have been more emotionally affected by having to wear a suit in the Senate than almost 10,000 Palestinians dying from aerial bombardment.
Sen. Fetterman on Israel’s military campaign in Gaza: “They are not targeting civilians. They never have, they never will”
I asked about the IDF’s recent airstrikes on a Gaza refugee camp and he replied: “Civilians were not the target” and said Israel targeted tunnel networks
We truly are seeing the post-9/11 playbook being rolled out in the media beat-for-beat. The IDF is connecting this directly back to George Bush's words in their PR operations because they know the power they had back then.
Senator Schumer is pushing a very fair bill that gives Israel the money she needs to defend herself and provide ample funds to protect innocent civilians in Gaza. Please call your senator to tell them to support it. And no he is not my dad.
Sorry, point conceded, they didn't steal this bra from a Palestinian woman's house, like other filmed instances of Israeli soldiers doing so. They most likely looted a women's underwear store, as one does on the noble path to save all the hostages in Gaza.
genuinely very uncomfortable that the already disgusting trend of "watch videos of people get sentenced to life in a cage" has jumped the gun into AI-generating photos of black people in animalistic metal restraints
It is truly staggering to me how Israeli settlers (and the Israeli right as a whole) just hate Holocaust victims/survivors and see them as weaklings. The Warsaw Uprising, the Polish resistance, erased for a revisionist narrative where only NOW are Jews protecting themselves.
The pitch of "Fuck you, vote for us, maybe it won't be as bad as the other guy", I have to tell you, has really diminishing returns after a pretty short while.
When asked about US voters upset with the choice between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton says:
"Get over yourself. Those are the two choices."
Really glad to see she's learned lessons from her 2016 defeat then!
In an ideal world, entire coalitions would manifest in order to stop a nation, protected by the world's lone superpower, from shooting doctors with snipers, running over injured patients with tanks, and torching hospitals as revenge. Yemen should not be standing alone.
This is not just an attack on Israel—this was an attack on America.
Finish them,
@Netanyahu
.
They should have hell to pay for what they have just done.
The IDF has become more depraved than I thought possible.
Israel is now admitting to have intentionally assassinated Hamza al-Dahdouh, claiming that the Palestinian journalist and son of Gaza's Al-Jazeera Bureau chief is a terrorist and a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
ברשתות התקשורת הפלסטיניות השונות דווח בימים האחרונים כי במהלך תקיפה שבוצעה מוקדם יותר השבוע באיזור רפיח נהרגו שני עיתונאים בשם חמזה אלדחדוח ומצטפא ת׳ריא >>
We have been so used to the images of complete, unimaginable carnage coming out of Gaza for the past 7 weeks that it has, in a sense, obscured the true scale of Israel's destruction.
This is Beit Lahia, what is left of it, a city of what was almost 90,000 people in Gaza's north.
📊 Which side has your support?
🇮🇱 Israel: 26%
🟩 Hamas: 6%
🟨 Both: 13%
Amongst young Brits, Hamas (14%) has more support than Israel (11%).

These reporters are so bad at their jobs that they dont stop and ask themselves if the Ministries of Health in the West Bank and Gaza might be different, and the editors moreover don't catch it either. Their first instinct is to slander and imply the Palestinians are lying.
This AP/Reuters story on the IDF hospital killing that the ABC's running quotes the "Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry", which I assume is just a reflex typo because Jenin's in the West Bank and the Palestinian Health Ministry in the West Bank is under the PA's jurisdiction
Doing my journalistic duty by reporting that a massive exodus of an ethnic group from a state on the verge of being totally occupied are "leaving on their own accord."
Refaat Alareer, as a professor of English literature in Gaza, recorded many of his lectures and put them online. I would encourage all of you to watch them and see the love he had for poetry, for Shakespeare, and for Palestine.
