Israel is representing itself in the meeting. Earlier the Israel's UN Ambassador @IsraelinUN held a standup meeting addressing media. He did not take questions. He said he would take media questions after today's session.

As the Israeli attack escalates on the ground, we can see more content censorship, which is basically documenting the war crimes in Gaza. Therefore, I'm posting this thread to remind the social media companies of their measures during the Russia-Ukraine war. 1/5
#GazaUnderAttack

Based on the Ukrainians' right to self-defense, they were allowed to spread hate speech against the Russian political leaders, military, and president.
In our case, We've seen some taken down content only taking about the killed children of Gaza! 2/5
#GazaUnderAttack

Russian media was labeled as state-owned media & weren't allowed to run ads on SM platforms. Palestinians didn't hear anything in this regard, but rather, we saw the Israeli forces sharing a video justifying carrying out air strikes on densely populated civilian locations. 3/5

The Palestinian Ministry of Health says the number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli aggression on Gaza has climbed to 24, while 203 Palestinians have been wounded.

#GazaUnderAttack

Two Palestinian brothers, 11-year-old Ahmed Al-Nairab and 5-year-old Momen Al-Nairab were amongst those killed in an Israeli airstrike on Northern Gaza this evening.

Israeli forces killed 11 Palestinians last night including 5-year-old Alaa Abdullah Riyad Qaddoum in an airstrike in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood of Gaza City. Alaa's father and six-year-old brother were injured in the same attack.

THREAD: Here’s what journalists need to know when covering Israel’s latest attack on #Gaza:

1) Palestinians in Gaza live under a brutal, illegal, 15-year-long siege, where Israel has limited Palestinians’ access to electricity, clean drinking water, and life-saving medical treatment.

2) Israel has one of the most powerful militaries in the world and is attacking a largely defenseless, entrapped civilian population in one of the most densely populated places in the world.

As always, this gonna be info. war! Israel gonna attack the ICT infrastructure & the mainstream media won't cover the attack fairly. Therefore, I'm posting some tips below.
Make sure to amplify the Gaza People's voices & their documentation of the war crimes. 1/3
#GazaUnderAttack

While writing about Gaza, keep in mind that Gaza has been under illegal siege for 15 yrs/ now. Thus, use the right terms, think about the power relations, and clarify who is the colonizer (Israel) & the colonized (Palestinians)! 2/3

BREAKING: Israeli forces killed 5-year-old Alaa Abdullah Riyad Qaddoum today in an airstrike in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood of Gaza City. Alaa's father and six-year-old brother were injured in the same attack. #GazaUnderAttack

Alaa Abdullah Riyad Qaddoum, 5, was killed around 4:30 pm on August 5 by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City. The Israeli airstrike hit a group of people outside Abu Samra mosque in the Wadi Al-Arayes area of Shuja’iyya neighborhood. #GazaUnderAttack dci-palestine.org/israeli_airstr…

Israel is bombing Gaza again. Gaza has been held under illegal siege for fifteen years - creating inhuman conditions for the inhabitants, more than half of whom are children. (1/4)

In what an Israeli official once grotesquely described as “mowing the lawn” it subjects Gaza to periodic systematic campaigns of bombardment - the last, most savage, took place in May 2021 when, over 11 days, Israel killed 260 Palestinians, more than 60 of them children. (2/4)

Today Israel began a renewed bombing campaign which so far has killed 8 Palestinians. Despite this barbaric record of violations of international law, the UK not only imposes no sanctions on Israel, but regularly approves military technology and arms exports to Israel (3/4)

@naftalibennett

For a the 5th time since they declared a unilateral ceasefire in the 11 day war in May in Gaza, Israel once again bombed Gaza.

@naftalibennett and @yairlapid continuie to squeeze Gaza in a manner which appears designed to prolong this appalling conflict.

#GazaUnderAttack

https://twitter.com/jncatron/status/1419582023459553282

The new leaders of Israel appear to be determined to continue the war crimes of their Likud predecessors.

It is time for those who believe in a peaceful solution to this multi-generational conflict to once again speak out against this obscenity.

Hamas has indicated a willingness to pursue a peaceful solution. Israel has not. Both sides need international community and media engagement to build towards a resumption of negotiations.

During the 11-day Gaza war in May the BBC and especially @bbcworldservice did a fantastic job of covering the rapidly escalating conflict.

However they seem to have now dropped the ball now that Israel has broken the casefire. #GazaUnderAttack

https://twitter.com/althecat/status/1405675374231625729

The story above completely buries the most important aspect of what is happening now in the Israel conflict.

Had Hamas responded last night with rockets this story would have led the news… and as my linked thread shows for a while last night it was thought they had done so.

@bbcworldservice

Notably the @bbcworldservice’s The Newsroom program - a 24h breaking news service heard all around the world - did not report the 3rd day of bombings at all.

As the thread shows there are numerous hard news angles that could be followed and which justify coverage.

This is the "innocent" flag march that led to young Gazans attaching candle wicks to balloons and setting them free to fly into Israel. Israel responded with bombs.

@POTUS

Tonight Israel's new Government repeated the bombs for balloons operation, on the eve of a trip by the head of the IDF to America to meet his counterparts in the U.S. Military.

The timing seems intent on provoking Hamas to break their side of a @POTUS brokered ceasefire.

Israel's new 5-day old Government is literally playing with fire. Deadly fire.

THREAD: The US support to Israel, summed up in the "Israel has the right to defend itself" statements by US officials, faces heavy scrutiny after #SaveSheikhJarrah & #GazaUnderAttack

Here are a few pieces by our analysts exposing US complicity in violating Palestinian rights:

@alaatartir

In this podcast episode just after Biden's election win, Al-Shabaka's @alaatartir warned of the new president's track record of support toward Israel (he's a self-proclaimed Zionist) & his promotion of the antiquated process of "economic peace" podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bid…

Our report shows 500 reports of Palestinian #DigitalRights violations over the past two weeks. Loads of content were taken down, Loads of accounts were suspended, This is the online oppression against Palestinians! #GazaUnderAttack
Check out our report: 7amleh.org/2021/05/21/7am…

It documents 40 reports that exposed the hate speech & incitement to violence directed towards Palestinians online, including reports of Israeli extremist groups mobilizing lynch mobs on WhatsApp & Telegram. #DigitalRights #HumanRights
Check out our report 7amleh.org/2021/05/21/7am…

Google also blurred the Gaza Strip and made the area low-resolution on Google Maps, impeding the ability of HR groups to document attacks & demolitions. #SavePalestine #SavePalestinians #Palestine
