#Blinken should end up in The Hague, with Netanyahu, Biden and the rest
By amplifying ZAKA's unsubstantiated claims without corroborating evidence from impartial sources, Blinken tacitly lent credibility to an infamously unreliable organization. However, Blinken's and others' willingness to broadcast selectively curated information aligns the U.S. stance with Israeli propaganda efforts to reframe defensive Palestinian resistance as unwarranted aggression. Blinken's actions normalized the marginalization of Palestinian perspectives and enabled the systemic information asymmetry that nurtures the cyclical perpetuation of the Israeli occupation's oppressive status quo in Gaza, which is reaching its worst possible conclusion right before our eyes.
Bassem: THEY LIED . THEY LIED . THEY STILL DO. They lied so the world can accept the atrocities they are doing now . They lied . Their media said they lied . And the western media didn’t even bother reporting on that . Shame on you @cnn@bbcnews@skynews@msnbc@foxnews@france24@dwnews

Don’t know what to make of all these low-fi #Mando ads—and there are so many—that the #IG algos are feeding me that feature the lady who expresses all that urgency. #advertising#instagram#algorithms

In the lawsuit against Facebook, Stenson said the prevalence of inappropriate content on IG is low, & that the co invests heavily in reducing it.

1/2 Enraged Israeli spokes people are a very common sight on Western TV these days, but this exchange between Sky's Kay Burley and Israel's Eylon Levy seem to set a new low.
Speaking to Levy about Israel's decision to handover 150 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for 50 Israeli children and babies, Burley said she had spoken “to a hostage negotiator” about the discrepancy in the numbers. He made the comparison between the 50 hostages that Hamas has promised to release as opposed to the 150 prisoners that are Palestinians and Israel has said that it will release, [...] Does Israel not think that Palestinian lives are valued as highly as Israeli lives?"
In response to Gigi Hadid's now deleted post on #IG, Israel's Ynet is outraged that Ahmad Manasra, which was 13 when he was arrested, is described a child. Other accusations Hadid made about the occupation did not go down very well either.
Background:
Manasrah, a resident of Beit Hanina, began serving a sentence of nine and a half years in prison at the age of 14, after being convicted as an accomplice to attempted murder for a stabbing incident carried out by his cousin, in the Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood (an illegal Israeli settlement in occupied East #jerusalem in 2015, while he was still 13 years old.
Since his arrest, Manasrah's mental state has deteriorated, and he has been diagnosed with severe chronic mental illness that developed during his incarceration. According to a professional opinion in his case, Manasrah's condition requires immediate medical treatment outside of prison.
Amnesty International:
"A month after Ahmad Manasra’s arrest in November 2015, footage of his interrogation was made public. The 10-minute video, reviewed by #amnestyinternational shows Ahmad being interrogated by three men, without the presence of his lawyer or parent in violation of international standards. He appears increasingly distressed as his interrogators continue to shout at him, directing insults and threats. This video is evidence of several violations of Manasra’s rights as a child and as a detainee."
Trumper Congressman Jim Jordan is hit with devastating news as a judge sentences the man who raped the Ohio 9-year-old that Jordan accused of lying to a life sentence in
You really have to be a sick, twisted individual to accuse a pregnant 9-year-old of lying about being raped. Especially if you are the member of Congress who is supposed to represent her. #gymjordanlies#magatraitors#GOPGroomers
The inability of #Threads to import my Twitter/Masto follows is kind of a problem. I don’t want to follow my friends, family, and cute picture/meme accounts I follow on #IG. I want to follow the miscreants and journalistic types that I follow on these services. They’re INHERENTLY different groups that I’d rather not mix thoroughly.
