Good to see the Irish Daily Star giving the Schoolgirl massacre the front page attention it deserves, heartbreaking and criminal.

Came off twitter/x a month ago, had a quick look at it today. It's just wall to wall pro genocide content now, incredible really how far it continues to fall.

Palestinians are being starved, there are thousands of tonnes of food Kms away being blocked by occupation forces. It is an act of deliberate genocide.

Whatever we think of the pope, he opposed the genocide and was vocal about it, even in his final message, which is more than most other western leaders have done.

THREAD: Israel targeted a journalist we work with in an airstrike and claimed he was a Hamas fighter.

This is why you should never believe anything Israel says. 🧡

Why do you say 'hamas run health ministry' but you don't say 'US backed Israeli air force' or 'indicted war criminal'?

I am utterly convinced the US crash and decline began with Biden and his unlimited military and political support for the genocide, everything follows from that, Trump is the natural sequel that cruelty and the current outright insanity is the natural conclusion.

Al Jazeera strongly condemns the assassination of its correspondent in Gaza Hossam Shabat.

massively depressing that the big scandal is that the shithead guy from the atlantic got texted accidentally and not the part where they're raining more death on yemen

Israel is assassinating journalists in Gaza β€” and Western media’s silence enables it.

On March 24, Israel killed two more reporters: Hossam Shabat and Mohammad Mansour.

This isn’t β€œcrossfire.” This is a kill list. 🧡

130 children murdered in one night, 1,000 civilians in 48 hours, a continuity between Biden and Trump in the extermination of Palestine.

A reminder that #gaza was already a refugee camp made up of victims of the Nakba ethnic cleansing campaign, who is to say that if Palestinians move to another giant refugee camp Israel won't come after them in 50 years, if they wish for further expansion.
