1| I try to focus on a single story in every post, but I want us to have proportions. So let's compare and contrast #Israel's response to @benandjerrys's not wanting to be complicit in its #WarCrimes, to Israel's actual war crimes.

2| The beautiful soul in this picture is 11 year-old Mohammad ‘Allami, who was executed by Israel's army, when he was convincing his daddy to go back to a shop to by him something. Mohammad's sister was also in the car, she wasn't physically injured.
3| Mohammad 'Allami is the 312th indigenous #Palestinian to be killed by Israel's army since the beginning of 2021, the 52nd to be executed in the #WestBank, the 76th #child executed in total, the11th child to be executed in the West Bank.

2| Israel's army shot and killed Shadi Salim (41), at #Beita junction, making him the 311th indigenous #Palestinian, to be killed by Israel's army since the beginning of 2021, and the 51st Palestinian to be killed from the #WestBank.

3| Israel's last #execution was carried out just 6 days ago, when soldiers invaded the town of #NabiSaleh, and shot 16 year-old Mohammad Tamimi in the back.

2| What caught my eye in this @guardian article was the quote:

“In Israel there is a strong political movement to make #diplomacy through #business. Business first, diplomacy later. When you make a deal together, it opens a lot of doors to diplomacy.”
3| The notion that #profits trump #consent is rather disturbing, but perfectly in line with the product- #spyware.

2| There's probably not a single person on the planet who hasn't heard the earth shattering news:
Ben & Jerry's will no longer sell ice cream to Israelis living in occupied #Palestinian land.
3| Reminder: Transferring your civilian population to a territory your army is occupying "Attempts to alter the demographic composition of an occupied territory" and is "unlawful and engages State responsibility and criminal responsibility of individuals."

1| From @iamjohnoliver calling out #Israel's #apartheid and #WarCrimes on primetime; @ParisHilton tweeting an impassioned plea to #savePalestine and #StoptheGenocide..

2| ..to @TheOnion offering themselves up as a human shields to #Palestinians in #Gaza under Israel's hellfire; whether we can see it yet or not, yesterday heralded cataclysmic events that will radically shift our political landscape.
3| As Israel continued its blitzkrieg on Gaza, @JoeBiden was proving himself an unironic compromise between Trump and Obama, vetoing the UN's call for ceasefire three times because- I paraphrase..

We've analyzed this report & it is #bizarre. @HRW says it's promoting #HumanRights but it's actually whitewashing #terror (1/n)
One #bizarre @HRW argument is that #HumanRights are violated by banning membership in #Hezbollah, #Hamas, #PFLP #terror groups!

HRW refers to a Hezbollah affiliate-member as an "artist" & a PFLP leader as a human rights expert. They ignore Qatar Charity's Hamas links. (2/n)
In a #bizarre implication that #WestBank should be annexed, @HRW points to #Israel-controlled #Jerusalem as an example for "less restrictive measures." (3/n)

Get your shit together Election Commission! Ugh.
Have they suddenly forgotten they have a website which needs to be updated?
OK what if... WHAT IF... the website updates and shows drastically different results than what our news channels are reporting?
Maybe, just maybe, EC is setting up the biggest prank of this election season.

That would be hilarious. 😂
WTF! How are they getting official trends when the website isn't updating?

.@HagaiElAd: "I haven't seen a single fact we presented abroad refuted." Couldn't help myself, took the bait, & spent 5 minutes on @btselem's site 1/3
& I found this: 17 y.o. Gazan "not involved in hostilities" killed while he "tried to enter Israel with incendiary devices." Seriously. I didn't, couldn't make this up tinyurl.com/yajgr559 2/3 #NotTheOnion @UNWatch @dannydanon

Here is a short #thread about the #Nakba
