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.
4⃣ When you're genocidal episode averages at 500 children, then yes, a 1/4 of that is very low.

Suggested remedy for such inflation: Stop killing children.

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.

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."
