👇THEAD 🧵🪡
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..

4| "a statement asking for #ceasefire will not help ongoing diplomatic efforts to achieve ceasefire".

5| But while @POTUS was determined to wield American tyranny on a people pulling the corpses of their #children out of the rubble, he didn't notice that he was actually standing with a finger in the air in the midst of the gushing sea change.

6| Mere hours after @LastWeekTonight delivered what would prove to be the deathblow to Israel's propaganda machine, American journalists- and in turn politicians- would start asking questions about arms deals between the #USA and #Israel.

7| Biden found himself forced to save face, and so he gave a grotesquely weak statement of support- not demand, mind you- for Israel to stop obliterating the Gaza concentration camp.

8| My optimism aside, a ceasefire is still not reached, Palestinian bodies are still being recovered from Israel's destruction, seven homes have been destroyed since sunrise, and a fresh batch of Israel's guided missiles pounds Gaza every second minute for the 8th day in a row.

9| We've got our work cut out for us, and every moment wasted is an innocent life wasted. So celebrities, take action now, #boycottIsrael!
