It's pretty clear what the narrative is: These are white folks, why are they experiencing war? These are white folks, why are they fleeing? These are white folks, are we even allowed to use the terms migrants or refugees???? Journalists, you can do better than this.

"The Phalangists now have immunity from prosecution by the government — they cannot be tried. Some of those who participated in the massacre are now driving taxis in Beirut, selling perfume, and they shop in Shatila on Saturdays because the produce is cheap."

I knew when I woke up this morning that the Israelis would use the Superbowl - the foremost American distraction - to commit massacres in Rafah tonight. It’s precisely the playbook.

In 20, 30, 50 years from now they'll pretend they didn't know and they'll talk about the sheer tragedy of it all, and perhaps even acknowledge it was "wrong". We cannot and will not accept that kind of language after they worked so diligently to annihilate our people.

Corpses in the street being eaten by cats. Children's last breaths, their bodies torn apart. The footage is there for the world to see. Our leaders will never be able to claim that they didn't know what was going on in #Gaza , just that they didn't care enough to try to stop it.

One of my closest friends back in Ontario is an ICU nurse. While the lack of PPE is a big issue, she sounds nothing like the nurses down here. She said she feels the hospital is mostly prepared, the government can be trusted, and the people will heed guidelines. She's not naive.

It’s hard to comprehend the deaths of 12,800 children. We put up figures of children on our studio walls - one for each child killed in Gaza during the war. They’re dying from airstrikes and now malnutrition and dehydration. These are some of their stories.

Now Amanpour is talking to Sarah Helm about how Palestinians are just expecting to die in Rafah. Like it’s just the sacrifice they’re meant to make. Like it’s inevitable. What’s another dozen or hundred or thousand. Even when they do talk about us, we are effectively vermin. 3/

I say this especially because in the run up to this interview with Yael Noy, Amanpour said “dozens” of Palestinians were killed in Rafah last night (it was 100+) yet “1200!!!” were killed on October 7. The mere comparison at this point when we are close to 30K corpses in Gaza 2/

A quick note on Hamas "coming to power" in Gaza, per Yair Lapid's speech at UNGA right now: Whether you love or loathe Hamas, that election was in fact the freest vote ever seen in the (Arab) Middle East. Former US President Jimmy Carter was a monitor. Why did Hamas prevail?

What the hell are you on, Nate? This is just another way of saying “the issue is too complex” which has been an Israeli argument for decades to push people away from studying and acknowledging the experiences of Palestinians. It’s easy to understand. It’s also plain as day.

This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
