RT: [@_ZachFoster](https://mastox.eu/@_ZachFoster ) The hostage crisis fell off the global agenda, because 100% of the remaining hostages are Palestinian.

2026-05-06 23:18:04 UTC

RT: @cbonneauimages For those of you commenting about the ceasefire being broken, keep in mind that Israel broke it in the first hours by bombing an ambulance in Qalalieh, and they have bombed us every day since. There has been no break from this terror campaign.

2026-05-02 20:24:22 UTC

RT: @academic_la Israel is planning to renew the offensive in Gaza and finish the genocide. A debate on the matter will be held in the Israeli cabinet tomorrow. I am terrified for my friends in Gaza.

RT: @jadaliyya “That's not targeting H-zb-llah. That is targeting civilian infrastructure and the ability of Lebanese people to live in their own land.
And all the while right now, what's being underreported is Gaza, which is in part what the strategy of Israel is. Create more chaos and more

RT: @npub174g…4xwl Where to find the words anymore?
What to say when Israel continues to behave like this?
And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon.

The U.S. wants to leave Lebanon out of ceasefire talks with Iran, so that Israel can continue doing this.

2026-04-11 17:23:16 UTC

Imagine the news coverage if Palestinians were killing Israelis on a daily basis.

2026-04-06 00:52:09 UTC

Hey @AP, who displaced them?
Who bombed Lebanon on Easter Sunday, killing at least 11 people including a 4-YEAR-OLD?

The war in Iran, invasion of Lebanon, death and destruction, global impacts and instability, at the center of all of it is the same culprit that wants you to forget about Gaza—where the genocide is not over.
They want to overwhelm us into submission, to normalize this madness.
Don’t let them. Nothing about this is normal.

The ICC prosecutor has faced more punishment for holding war criminals accountable than Netanyahu has for committing genocide.
Imagine explaining this to future generations.

2026-03-28 03:09:12 UTC

RT: @SinaToossi A reminder as this war spirals:
Netanyahu openly bragged about convincing Trump to kill the Iran deal and repeatedly pushed him toward military action when diplomacy was viable.
Now the U.S. is locked into a catastrophic war of choice.

You attack universities, hospitals, and schools when your goal is destroying a country, not liberating a people.
Again, Gaza was the testing ground.

2026-03-16 21:10:05 UTC

Israel displaced 1,000,000 people in Lebanon and is now telling them they can’t return home.
Remember, they don’t hide their intentions, this is about occupying land.

The language is so twisted that it can’t even be fixed.
“Israel forces shoot and kill Palestinian parents and two children in occupied West Bank,” that’s your headline. All the basic info is there without ambiguity.
The way the headline is now you might think it was an accident, when, in reality, Palestinians are terrorized and killed as an everyday feature of Israeli occupation.

2026-03-15 23:51:02 UTC

Look at this headline and subheading. They *murdered* a family, including two children aged 5 and 7, but the language is convoluted enough to obscure that fact.
Why does NYT have such a difficult time saying Israel KILLED Palestinians?

This Iranian man broke me. These are ordinary people who are being killed and having their lives destroyed by U.S. and Israeli bombs.

Tehran’s metro area has a population of 14-16 million people. Evacuate to where, exactly?
Calling it an “evacuation warning” while Israel bombs another civilian population is pure theater. Stop normalizing it.
