The IDF just committed one of the worst massacres in modern history. But if you rely on US media, you wouldn't even know that from their headlines.

1) London: A wall of humanity marches through the city center. Some estimates say 500,000 people are there.
2) Hundreds of thousands of people in Istanbul 🇹🇷 create an ocean of red at their Great Palestine Rally.
3) Paris 🇫🇷. These protests are explicitly illegal in France. But thousands still braved arrest to show solidarity with those suffering in Gaza and the West Bank 🇵🇸.
Incredible scenes as @Lowkey0nline owns @PiersMorgan so hard that they end the interview early.
Lowkey tells Piers his previous guests, Israeli Ambassador Mark Regev and CIA chief David Petraeus "deserve to be in The Hague and tried for war crimes."
"This badge was given to me by an employee of this building who said they were told they could not wear it because it was the Palestinian flag. You talk about 'uncensored'. This is censored!" - @Lowkey0nline
. @Lowkey0nline subtly suggests that Piers Morgan comparing himself to Nelson Mandela wasn't quite appropriate.
