Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said, openly, on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel. History is happening in front of our eyes. Don't look away. Please help share this widely. Read the full story here: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social These young people are going to Gaza to try and stop the murder of children. That they have to put their live on the line reflects the absolute failure of the west, the G7, Canada. Call the Israeli embassy and warn them not to harm these children. The world watches.

“It must nevertheless be done of course so what if there were a way to depersonalize it?…To the point where it is no longer one human being killing another human being it is simply the maintenance and operation of a vast machinery. Insert ammunition on one end and it spits out corpses on the other.”

And we're still authorising the bonds that fund this.

There is no context that could possibly justify what Israel does.

“yes, we are committing war crimes”. Frm Israeli PM Barak. He knows it, his country knows it it and so does the world. where is the will to make it stop?

#C4News find the girl escaping the fire in the burning classroom after an Israeli strike "I walked through the fire all by myself" "The rubble fell on them (her siblings)" "I want to see my sisters, to be with them, but they're dead" "I want to be with them"

If someone had told me, when I was a kid in the 1900s, that we would have technology that would allow us to reach people directly inside concentration camps and ghettos, I would have assumed we would ALL use that technology to help victims survive and liberate themselves post haste.

I hate crypto, I hate online gambling, I hate AI, I hate pay-later, I hate subscription models, I hate the gig economy, I hate ring cameras, I hate drones, I hate self checkout. I don't want to come off as a luddite but capitalism's hold on tech sucks.

"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza." My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza *is* a genocide. zeteo.com/subscribe

The Irish Great Famine; “Gorta Mór” (Great hunger); “Drochshaol” (the bad times) is a defining disaster in Irish history. It’s the before and after of our understanding of our country. Generally accepted estimate is 1 million died, and millions fled, and the Irish population fell for generations 1/

Every moment of this horror is beyond comprehension

This should have been the headline for all news outlets

Military intervention must be used to stop the genocide in Gaza | Ahmed Ibsais

Palestinian village Mughyier ad-Dir in the West Bank was ethnically cleansed today by violent settlers who, with the support of the IDF, built an outpost within the village and terrorised residents until they left.

You can be pro-Palestinian liberation and for Palestinian restitution from the Israeli government's war machine and not be an antisemitic piece of crap.

An army of cowards.

Brian Eno calls on Microsoft to cease its partnership with Israel and pledges to donate the original fee for his Windows '95 chime to victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza

Israel still blocking aid for Gaza despite promise to lift siege, says UN. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Given the Israeli military's increased bombardment, experts warn against seeing the trickle of aid now coming in after a three-month blockade as a mercy.

“A sane country does not wage war against civilians, does not kill babies as a pastime, & does not engage in mass population displacement...The Jewish people, who have endured persecution, pogroms, & genocides throughout our history...are the ones now taking actions that are utterly unconscionable.”

There is now an open debate in Israel about whether it is acceptable to kill babies

An Israeli air strike on the Musa bin Nusair School in Gaza City has killed at least a dozen Palestinians, including children and a pregnant woman. The school had been sheltering forcibly displaced families.

You see, it’s all very complicated

These 'threats' of doing the bare minimum are how we got to this point. Time to actually move beyond empty words.

Good letter in today's Irish Times, enough of empty words, there must be action to stop apartheid Israel's mass murder and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. #SanctionsNow #GazaGenocide

I've been saying this FOR MONTHS on here. You are not obligated to give to anyone. But there's a special place in hell for you if you reporting people who trying to survive a GENOCIDE because they are desperate for support. YOU CAN JUST MUTE PEOPLE AND KEEP IT MOVING. What is wrong with you?

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

“What was done in Gaza, it was a shame that it didn’t get worse…IDF soldiers are the purest good…I hope my son kills anyone who stands in front of him…including if they send children.” - Knesset member Michal Waldiger x.com/middleeastey...

The population in Gaza is being subjected to "forced starvation" where hunger is being used as "an instrument of war", President Michael D Higgins tells the National Famine Commemoration in Kilmallock, Co Limerick.

gift link: wapo.st/3YLDNtL "More than 116,000 metric tons of food aid have been sitting in position along the aid corridors into Gaza, UNICEF & the World Food Program said, adding that it represents enough food to feed 1 million people for four months." Mass starvation is a choice.

“the nazi bar is so much nicer now that the people who didn’t want to be at a nazi bar left”

I really hope @mark-carney.bsky.social is paying attention to this and realizes what a fundamentally silly idea having a Minister for AI really is. It’s poor tech, not ready for prime time. It’s also a privacy nightmare.

On the 77th anniversary of the 1948 Nakba (1947-1949) the BDS movement shares these 7 facts and 7 demands for meaningful solidarity. Only mass, intersectional people power can end this. Join us! #Nakba77 loom.ly/oNoeaL4

My potentially unpopular take is that when we valorize people speaking out about Gaza as a heroic act, we signal to people who are cowardly that they can't risk doing the same. It isn't heroic to say: this is a genocide. It's just honesty.
