People find articles about environmental destruction depressing and so don’t click on them. So no financial incentive for mainstream media to write those articles 🤷🏻‍♀️

Israel’s war in Gaza amounts to genocide, Amnesty International report finds
Human rights group says Israel ‘brazenly, continuously and with total impunity … unleashed hell’ on strip’s 2.3m population A report from Amnesty International alleges that Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip constitutes the crime of genocide under international law, the first such determination by a major human rights organisation in the 14-month-old conflict. The 32-page report examining events in Gaza between October 2023 to July 2024, published on Thursday, found that Israel had “brazenly, continuously and with total impunity … unleashed hell” on the strip’s 2.3 million population, noting that the “atrocity crimes” against Israelis by Hamas on 7 October 2023, which triggered the war, “do not justify genocide”. The unprecedented scale and magnitude of the military offensive, which has caused death and destruction at a speed and level unmatched in any other 21st-century conflict; Intent to destroy, after considering and discounting arguments such as Israeli recklessness and callous disregard for civilian life in the pursuit of Hamas; Killing and causing serious bodily or mental harm in repeated direct attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, or deliberately indiscriminate attacks; and Inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction, such as destroying medical infrastructure, the obstruction of aid, and repeated use of arbitrary and sweeping “evacuation orders” for 90% of the population to unsuitable areas.

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate. The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

Heart shattering to learn an Israeli drone has targeted and assassinated Mahmoud Almadhoun, one of the founders and chefs behind the Gaza Soup Kitchen. What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture. The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention. Here’s how they did it... 🧵

What is happening in the north is beyond comprehension, and the Israeli government and IDF have gone out of their way to ensure that the media has a hard time reporting it. Myself and @farrahfazal.bsky.social gathered some testimony, but it is one sliver of the horrors.

At least 100 people killed overnight in northern Gaza, including in another UN school being used as a camp. I remember the look of these schools well, there was one in our adopted hometown of Beit Sahour, every Palestinian town has them, such is the depth of UNRWA support for Palestinian life.

Sure, but that’s not really what we’re talking about. I’m wondering if there’s a way that Lydia could have gotten her message across to King Charles in a way that you would have found acceptable? (Considering her request to meet with him was ignored)

What would “appropriate diplomacy” look like? She’s protesting centuries of theft, r*pe, and genocide and everyone’s upset because she wasn’t polite about it. Seriously, have a think about that. Also, she requested an audience with the king and was ignored.

I know, I was seeking clarification regarding exactly what was meant by “do the crime”. Lydia was right to do what she did.

Lydia sent a message through all the correct channels to ask for a meeting with the king and was ignored. What she did was right and just, and the senate is a bunch of gutless worms to vote to censure her. They’re on the wrong side of history.
