I really hope the majority #Gazan#Palestinians make it of out this genocide alive. It’s an obvious statement for me but the world is 🤷♀️
I just wonder if in future they will look to friendly Westerners/ random countries that recognise Palestine and people online for help instead of other Arabs and Muslim majority countries because most have let them down.
They’re probably getting more help from people donating to their GoFundMes and TIk Tok campaigns than “official talks” and “aid”. Yes that’s partly Israeli interference but it’s also partly bullshit.
(Yes I realise there are Palestinian Christians & Jews in Gaza too but they’re a small minority and nobody is listening to them either. Most are Arab though.)
The IDF are killing Christians hiding in Churches in West Bank and nobody gives a shit about them either. There’s no Hamas there, so why is there a ‘military operation’ going on there as well? wtf. The only good thing about this is the Christian churches are working together to save each other, at least in Jerusalem. I’m not particularly religious but the unity is nice.
How is humanity going to come back from this? It’s not as if nobody knows what going on. It’s being live streamed online. It’s the worst stuff I’ve seen in my life and the perpetrators really don’t care.
One lesson learned is just how much money is invested in Israel. I had no idea it is a gold mine for the West. Another is how much our schools have failed us.

...the saying should be extended to the son in law, too?
"#JaredKushner has praised the “very valuable” potential of #Gaza’s “waterfront property” and suggested #Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the strip." (#TheGuardian)
Continuing this train of thought, however, this leaves only dire outcomes for the #Israelis and the #Palestinians:
If no #Muslim country will grant them refuge for political reasons, a lot of the #Gazan#refugees will die on that border wall...
To treat this strictly as a logic question, you have to get rid of labels that introduce bias, and replace them with symbols. Once the argument is established, you can substitute labels back in.
>> Otherwise, what’s to stop India killing any Canadian it chooses to?
>> Why he was targeted is immaterial. What matters to the Canadian response is he was a citizen. This isn’t a take, it’s a fact, no?
Again, it's the same as saying "Why #Hamas was targeted is immaterial. What matters to #Palestinian response is they were #Gazan. This isn't a take, it's a fact, no?"
It is a fact only from the Palestinian POV, not #Israeli POV, as we all understand.
Why someone is targeted is NEVER immaterial. You cannot #stripTheDeed 🙂
Good morning from London, the pause in fighting in the #Israel - #Gaza war was due to start nearly to hours ago. Here are some observations of colleagues on the ground -
V #BBC Yolande Knell:
'In the hours before the truce was due to take hold, there was intense fighting in Gaza.
Smoke could be seen rising up from Israeli air strikes and there was the constant sound of artillery and gunfire.
V Haaretz:
'Hamas Officials Abroad See Power Wane as #Gazan Leaders Take Control- Arab diplomats who recently met with #Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and other senior officials in #Qatar say that every proposal or discussion about the future of the group or the hostage deal was met with the answer, 'We’ll see what they say in Gaza'
