How would the world react if hundreds of explosions went off in unison in New York City, Washington, Paris, or London? Eternal shame upon the news outlets framing this as an attack against combatants. These blasts all occurred in civilian areas. This is terrorism.

Israel had absolutely no idea who would be standing nearby when those beepers exploded. They didn't care, because civilian life is meaningless to them.

If it were iPhones that were leaving the factory with explosives inside, the media would be a hell of a lot faster to cotton on to what a horrific precedent has been set today. Nothing can justify this. It's a crime. A crime. And everyone in the world is less safe for it.

“Complex”, “impressive”, “epic” — you’d think Israel found a way to cure to cancer rather than yet another uniquely sinister way to maim Arab bodies

The burden of care on the Lebanese health system of yesturday's bombings will be similar to that of the Marches of Return in Gaza. There is a dire need for a Complex Trauma Reconstruction and Rehabilition Unit to provide the medium to long term needs of the thousands of wounded.

So I assume the airline industry will ban electronic devices until a full audit of supply chains or is everyone going to be cool with this because it's Israel?

The narrative that the US is “pushing for a ceasefire” and “working to prevent a wider conflict” is so farcical it’s obscene. The US continues to send massive quantities of weapons to Israel so that it can carry on a genocide while actively agitating for a regional war.

My pager has been on my hip when I carried my children in my arms, when I bent over a child to sew a cut on her face, when I hugged a colleague, when I was pregnant. It’s been in the hands of my daughter as she played with the buttons & in a bag next to my son in the car.

"Only Hezbollah had the pagers" is the new "40 babies beheaded". The intel comes directly from Netanyahu's boys and the media regurgitate it undigested.

No doubt this was a wild operation. But if Hezbollah somehow remotely detonated phones of Israeli soldiers, reservists, & anyone affiliated with the military, causing thousands of casualties across Israel, how would international media describe it? Would they be valid targets?

This is what so many of you are giddy about

Hamas & Hezbollah are more than armed movements. They have civil institutions, schools, medical facilities, etc. In Gaza, Hamas is the government; in Lebanon Hezbollah functions as one in many places. Targeting civil employees as combatants is a lethal lie. It is terrorism.

“why do so many ‘health workers’ have Hezbollah Pagers?” because Hezbollah Pager isn’t a real thing. because that’s what happens supply chains are contaminated. just because the propaganda needs you to be very stupid to believe it doesn’t mean you’re obliged to become that stupid

“White people were, and are, astounded by the Holocaust in Germany. They did not know that they could act that way. But I very much doubt whether black people were astounded.” James Baldwin, 1962

I've never thought I would see death in so many ways: dead by a sniper, dead by bombs, dead by fire, dead by starvation, dead by being bulldozed over, dead because of the cold, dead because of the heat, dead due to a shortage of medicine and many many more . Every day, they

There isn’t much left to say, other than to remind you these are occupied people being slaughtered by American weapons sent by a Democratic administration.

I was only 20 meters away from the bus that was targeted and bombed in Gaza city . We saw the moment the strike hit the bus and it exploded. We rushed to find out that the small bus was carrying a family, and most of the young children were killed.

Israel has been at war with Lebanon for months now. It’s not imminent, it’s been ongoing. Now, they’re itching to goad Hezbollah into giving them something they can use as justification for an all-out invasion and occupation of southern Lebanon. Because who is going to stop them?

Israel flattened an apartment building in Lebanon killing at least 14 people, including children, with more buried under rubble. But you wouldn’t know that looking at these headlines. Like Gaza, Western media acts as stenographer for Israel and tries to justify its atrocities.

Berlin police arrested a 10-year-old at a pro-Palestinian demonstration for carrying a Palestinian flag. Disturbing, shameful, Germany 2024.
