A brave girl in Gaza tells the truth to a stunned, unsuspecting pro-Hamas reporter:
- Video is fake. it's pathetic that an Israeli top bureaucrat puts that. https://twitter.com/…Beeswax
- But I agree Hamas is equally responsible for the deaths in Gaza.Beeswax

A deadly cascade: how secret Hamas attack orders were passed down at last minute
The first orders went out before 4am: anyone who had been attending the regular training sessions and was not planning to attend dawn prayers at their usual mosques must go to pray.
An hour later, as the sky began to lighten over Gaza and the congregations began to disperse, new instructions were issued. These too were straightforward and passed mainly by word of mouth: bring your weapons and any ammunition you have and assemble at specific landmarks.
But still no one was told what was about to happen. Operation al-Aqsa Flood, the most ambitious operation launched by Hamas since the extremist Islamist organisation had taken control of Gaza in 2007, was still a secret.

Here's the problem for Israel...they've done a great job winning over Western right-wingers and some people in the middle but they're losing everyone else. The fact that Douglas Murray is who they promote as spokesman for their cause is a perfect example.
The current actions in Gaza, bombing hospitals and refugee camps, might make sense to Israelis traumatized by the attacks but this is disastrous in terms of global public opinion.
There are 25 million Jews in the world and two billion Muslims. Those Muslims mostly have smartphones now and are getting a daily update of all the atrocities being committed. The idea that you wouldn't factor this in is incredibly stupid -- it's also what Hamas wanted.
The attacks on mainstream Western media outlets like the NYT and AP...implying they were complicit somehow in the attacks...and mocking people who support the Palestinians are especially counterproductive.
So is spreading racist conspiracy theories about American politicians. You're basically just spitting in the face of the same people who fund Israel and stand up for them at the UN.
- Consider that you may be mistaken and that this conflict is much more complex than you're lead to believe.IRNlun6
- I didn't say it wasn't complex. But you can't assume everyone agrees with your worldview.yuekit
- Israel or Jews as a community are like adults who have unresolved childhood trauma and keep repeating the same patterns that cause them more troubleBeeswax
- This stems from the"Exclusivity" that they design for themselves, dont get me wrong all religious groups have this delusion but Jews really poke that in the eyeBeeswax
- they are really creating their reality in a sense by feeding hatred out of this and then reaping the results, then become traumatised again and rinse & repeatBeeswax
- Those who dwell in fear will inevitably falter. Germans were so traumatised after WWI that, that fear put Hitler on the throne.Beeswax
- Not assuming. We're just past a month of this renewed conflict and many have firmly picked a side. Have already decided what's to be believed or dismissed.IRNlun6
- We don't have to dig too deep in the Ukraine thread for to see much of what's published in the press is either misinformation or wishful thinking.IRNlun6
- I find too many people are dismissive of the threat of Islamic extremism which has impacted a considerable amount of countries around the world.IRNlun6
- A fear of mine is we'll see renewed terror attacks while countries tear each other apart trying to blame their political adversaries.IRNlun6
- It's one thing to defend Palestinian civilians. It's a whole other problem to adopt the speech and symbolism of terrorist organizations.IRNlun6
- I see fucking college students down the street from me chanting "from the river to the sea."IRNlun6
- I agree about the threat of terror attacks and also the left's naive view in some cases. But the same holds true for hardcore Israel supporters.yuekit

Finally cultured. Now its time for others to learn the affairs.
"The Kansas Law’s legislative history reveals that its goal is to undermine the message of those participating in a boycott of Israel. This is either viewpoint discrimination against the opinion that Israel mistreats Palestinians or subject matter discrimination on the topic of Israel. Both are impermissible goals under the First Amendment."
Kansas legislation is defeated at the court a year later but there are several states that are still breaking the constitution.
For example you cant do any business with state of Nevada if you boycott Israel but you can freely boycott Palestine

If you are a college student and you join a protest calling for ceasefire you'll be considered providing material support to terrorism.
"The consequences for students are not hypothetical. In late October, Florida State University System Chancellor Ray Rodrigues and Gov. Ron DeSantis took action to deactivate the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters at public universities in Florida, based on nothing more than the speech of the national SJP organization."
Blanket calls to investigate every chapter of a pro-Palestinian student group for “material support to terrorists” — without even an attempt to cite evidence — are unwarranted and dangerous. They harken back to America’s mistakes during the McCarthy era, and in the months and years after 9/11. The ACLU has decades of experience fighting abusive and discriminatory “material support” investigations and prosecutions that infringe on or violate constitutional rights. We know from history just how damaging these types of sweeping unsubstantiated allegations can be.

A harrowing plea from an American/ Israeli mother.
I unfortunately saw the video she talks about & her injured son, it popped up on my X timeline today.Just Brutal.
- sorry for her but what a shitty propaganda piece.Beeswax
- She should ask that question to Netanyahu. People are not wondering about her kids bcs thousands of them are getting killed every week by IsraelBeeswax
- Some hostages are Pprobably blown of by Israeli missiles. Hamas agreed to return hostages in return of ceasefire and Netanyahu rejected right?Beeswax
- Return all the hostagesGnash
- From the looks of the bombing, it appears that Israel gives zero fucks about the hostages. No?ShenanigansTV

It's amazing how effective social media is at creating a propaganda echo chamber. Some Israel supporters are claiming victims of the bombings in Gaza are actors (they call it Pallywood). But many of the things they are posting are real people who were injured by Israel's bombing campaign.
Then on the other side, there seems to be a push to convince people that Hamas didn't actually target civilians on October 7, in spite of extensive video evidence and testimony.
