To put the intercept article in broader context: - Israel pushed lies about sexual violence - NYT editors demanded an article to supprt it - NYT got a first time "reporter" to "investigate" - they found nothing. zero. nada - they published it anyway - Israel murders 30,000 people

I've heard so many variations of this story about the conquest of Palestine. Each one a different village, a different family. Each one just as gut wrenching

TIME TO TELL MY MOM'S STORY: My Mom was born in Jerusalem in 1942 in what was then the British Mandate of Palestine to a Christian Palestinian father and a Jewish mother. My Mom has fond memories of her family's home in Jerusalem. @RepRashida , @4noura , @WESPAC_NY , @jvplive , @AOC

Israel/Palestine is unbelievably simple. Everyone deserves Human Rights, life, equality and freedom, and right now Palestinians don't have much of that

A good rule of thumb: the more "unbelievably labyrinthine" someone insists "Israel/Palestine" is, the more they want you to sympathise with Israel

For the second time, a @ycombinator founder has posted to the internal YC forum about how they lied to skip the vaccine queue in Oakland, with instructions for other founders to do the same. Absolutely fucking disgusted

The Right is blaming Biden -- correctly -- for the genocide in Gaza. I'm thinking of all the liberals who are saying we can't speak up against Biden's genocide because then Trump will win. Actually, Trump will win because Biden did this.

I wrote about the genocide in Palestine, and how tech has been silent and complicit.

I've been sending emails to a journalist - they'd get some of them, but none of them got through if they had the P word spelled out. Sent the exact same email, one with the the P word, and one with "Peace" instead. Second got through instantly. No idea what to make of this

Retweeting this because it's a SF-based startup with a backbone - publicly posting in support of Gaza and Palestine. If you're in SF and need a part time car subscription, these seem like good people

If you want to honor Dr. King, act boldly against injustice. We demand a complete and verifiable ceasefire, the release of all hostages in Gaza and political prisoners in Israel, and the termination of unconditional US financial and diplomatic support for the Israeli government.

Irish Government does not intend to join South Africa in the case against Israel before the International Court of Justice. Taoiseach Varadkar says โ€œwe need to be very carefulโ€ about using genocide re Gaza, but re Oct 7 โ€œWas that not also genocide?โ€

I appreciate the Editor in Chief of Jewish Insider skipping the bullshit and directly admitting: 1. Palestine is a country 2. Israel's at war with Palestine, not Hamas

โ€œNormally when two countries fight a war, each side takes responsibility for taking care of its own people. In this war, Israel is expected to protect its own civilians but also be responsible for protectingโ€”and feedingโ€”Palestinian civiliansโ€
