As people of faith we believe in a better way. It is not too late for you to change course and rid yourself of deadly investments in companies profiting from the Israeli occupation. Join your courageous students and divest now.
TikTok CEO #ShouZiChew has said the company will take the fight against the new law to the courts, but some experts believe that for the #US#SupremeCourt, national security considerations could outweigh #FreeSpeech protection.
As #ceasefire talks continued in #Cairo, Palestinian militant groups #Hamas and #IslamicJihad said their fighters struck Israeli forces on the eastern outskirts of #Rafah, firing anti-tank rockets and mortars at Israeli positions.
#Biden, who says Israel has not produced a convincing plan to safeguard civilians in Rafah, warns a major assault could halt arms supply to #Israel.
#CAIRO — After a long journey from #Gaza, more than 100 American citizens and their families have entered #Egypt through the #RafahCrossing. Jonathan Webster, the #USEmbassy in Cairo's consul general, said some of those families are telling him they ran out of food and water during their journeys. #Israel
Multiple sources told the Guardian and +972/Local Call that when a strike was authorised on the private homes of individuals identified as #Hamas or #IslamicJihad operatives, target researchers knew in advance the number of civilians expected to be killed.
If you don't think elements of the so-called Christian Right, encouraged by the GOP, have gone wild with hatred for LGBTQ+ people, like red-eyed, frothing, rabid dogs, you haven't heard about the town in New Hampshire that wants to ban ALL PUBLIC ART. This case deserves national attention. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/new-hampshire-town-art-debate-1.7014430
More than 700 leaders from the entertainment industry have signed an open letter released by the non-profit entertainment industry organization Creative Community For Peace in support of #Israel.
Only just today, the @nytimes published an “editor’s note” on their #Gaza#hospital misreporting:
“On Oct 17, The #NewYorkTimes published news of an explosion at a hospital in Gaza City, leading its coverage w/claims by #Hamas govt ofcls that an Israeli airstrike was the cause & that hundreds of people were dead or injured.
“The report included a large headline at the top of The Times’s website.
“#Israel subsequently denied being at fault & blamed an errant rocket launch by the #Palestinian faction group #IslamicJihad, which has in turn denied responsibility. #American & other #international ofcls have said their #evidence indicates that the rocket came from Palestinian fighter positions.
It's disturbing to see so many news stories condemning Israel's continued response to the continued firing of rockets from #Gaza toward #Israel by #Hamas and #IslamicJihad
It's clear that many media organizations throughout the world don't dare mention the constant attacks on Israel or Hamas' dedication to the destruction of Israel and the deaths of Jews everywhere.
The suffering in Gaza is because of Hamas and IslamicJihad. Israel didn't start this war. Israel didn't start the last war.
Calling for negotiations is naive as well. Hamas will only negotiate for time to rebuild and prepare for the next strike against Israel.
That problem won't be solved by condemning Israel.
The Palestinians in Gaza won't have peace until they are freed from Hamas' brutal rule. I don't know if Israel can achieve that. They shouldn't have to shoulder that burden. But it's obvious that Iran's propaganda machine has succeeded in misleading a billion+ people around the world into thinking Israel is the aggressor here.
Human rights lawyers warned Biden that his unconditional support for the war on #Gaza may implicate the U.S. in Israel’s crimes.
“U.S. officials can be held responsible for their failure to prevent Israel’s unfolding genocide, as well as for their complicity, by encouraging it and materially supporting it.”
@GW
It’s increasingly clear that it was not a hospital that was hit in #Gaza but a hospital parking lot… that the death toll was likely in the dozens not the hundreds & that the culprit was not the #IDF but a faulty rocket fired by #IslamicJihad (another #Iran funded terrorist group in #Palestine) #Hamas knew this very quickly & worked very quickly to disseminate the #Israel to blame narrative.
As w/ bogus WMDs & #IraqWar the #NYT is complicit again —this time possiblely for triggering WWIII.
It's heartbreaking to see that Palestinian lives mean nothing to the terrorist groups that use them as human shields and propaganda tools.
It's disappointing to see so many people in the West agonizing over Palestinian deaths and saying nothing about the ongoing rocket attacks. They wouldn't be dying and suffering if Hamas and Islamic Jihad weren't doing this.
None of the anti-Israel rants have suggested any way to end the violence.
Clearly not attacking Gaza didn't do any good.
Clearly not occupying Gaza for 18 years didn't do any good.
Clearly you can't negotiate a lasting peace with an organization whose sole purpose for existence is to destroy Israel and kill all Jews everywhere.
You cannot support peace and freedom for Palestinians while refusing to call out the #genocide those terrorist groups are waging against Jews - or the way they kill Palestinians who speak out against their repeated atrocities and #warcrimes.
It would seem that Israel, by its scorched earth tactics, is intent on creating the next generation of Palestinian Resistance Fighters. Unless of course, Israel plans on total genocide which seems to be the current mission.
@GW Have you ever been to Israel? Have you ever gone through a deadly knife attack?
A suicide bombing blowing up a bus with dozens of civilian passengers, torn apart by hundreds of shrapnel pieces?
If not, please stop speculating & spreading biased comments. Thanks.
Scores of Palestinians have moved into Israel, passing the destroyed security barrier and seen on this video celebrating and dancing on a destroyed Israeli thank.
Palestinians have learned to use OTS drones and home made quadcopters to attack Israeli tanks and destroy them.
Islamic Jihad telegram channel claims that they have captured some 200 Israelis from several settlements they have occupied.
Images and videos are simply unbelievable and hard to believe, Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters patrolling Israeli cities and violently taking anyone they find hostage.
The literal first paragraph of the article linked reads:> Hamas and the allied Islamic Jihad have rejected an Egyptian proposal that they relinquish power in the Gaza Strip in return for a permanent ceasefire, two Egyptian security sources told Reuters on Monday.
Emphasis mine.
If you are going to do pro-#Israeli propaganda at least get your basic facts right goddammit :reimu_sigh:
#PressFreedom / Why did IDF assassinate Journalists Hamza Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya? 3 different versions within 4 days tried to hide the obvious truth
IDF doesn't know who they're targeting. They kill and then make up a story about "terrorists". But targeting journalists, clearly marked as such, seem to be a priority. Israel is also among the top jailers of journalists worldwide, as acknowledged by CPJ recently. https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/111806150045046433
Israel gave several shifting explanations for the killing al-Dahdouh and Turiya:
Initial IDF statement was that they were killed while accompanying a "terrorist" who was operating a drone that threatened Israeli forces.
Later, an IDF spokesperson statement was that they were using a drone in a war zone which is problematic, but it is unfortunate they were killed.
Even later, the IDF statement changed again, this time claiming that "intelligence" shows the two were active members of #Hamas and Palestinian #IslamicJihad, who had just operated drones threatening Israeli forces before being targeted.
This tortured interview with #Hasbara operative Eylon Levy leaves no room for doubt. Israel is lying and has been lying to international media about almost everything they agree to comment on in respect to the arbitrary killing of Gazans.
