#Palestine48 || "Shut up and be thankful to have second class citizenship": An #Apartheid thread 👇🧵🪡
(1/4) "Hi Vici, happy holiday, due to the current situation, a strike was announced by our Arab community, that’s why I won’t be coming to work tomorrow. Hoping for the best 🌷"
(2/4) "What does a strike in the Arab community have to do with your office work??
Thank you very much for your time working with us, good luck in your future endeavours."
(3/4) "What do you mean what does it have to do with it?!!! I’m Arab obviously, and the pain of the Arab community is my pain. Your lack of understanding and empathy, and people like you, doesn’t bode well for a future coexistence of our two peoples."
(4/4) The state in which you are a citizen gave you a warm home and rights just like mine, but you and your people chose not to assimilate in this state, that really gave you everything, because of people like you, you’ll always stay second class citizens and that’s too bad.

No spine, no #journalism ethics. @SkyNews serves as the mouth piece of Israel's army, now busy committing #GenocideinGaza.

We better be seeing some serious disciplinary action. ImageImageImage
At least they didn't straight out call for #genocide like @Newsweek, because that's how low the standards are.


And here disciplinary action is not enough, a criminal investigation for #HateCrime and #IncitementToGenocide.
And since I'm on a roll, let's talk about the @CNN apologia for #genocide.

I'd like to reiterate a few points I made last night about the @newyorkerunion #FromtheRivertotheSea statement, so here's a throwback thread 👇

Israel's moderate voices - a case study in 4 parts:

1⃣ "Pointless", much like the more common "senseless", often in conjunction with the word "violence", obfuscates the fact that violence and cruelty are never pointless. They have a very poignant goal- domination, land, money.
2⃣ If there's colonisation (i.e. genocide), there's resistance. Not the other way around.
3⃣ Genocide is not a spectator sport.

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..

1| Americans should contemplate long and hard why one of Trump's most burning tasks, right before he leaves office, is the targeting of a #HumanRights movement lead by an #indigenous people on the other side of the globe 👇

2| Let's first recall that the Palestinian-lead global BDS movement has already been designated by the @UN as a #HumanRightsDefenders movement, whose speech is protected.

3| @amnesty chimes in with a bit of uncharacteristic & very welcome political analysis:
"This is simply the latest attack from a US government determined to undermine the universality of human rights and the global fight against racism and discrimination, including antisemitism."
