I generally don’t share my videos on Twitter, but this is my favorite I’ve made so far- about the word “ham” in Persian. Ham means same or equal, but the Persian language has such a unique way of combining it with other simple words to come up with the most poetic concepts:
Disgusting.
Two days after Israel not only ignored the "30-day US deadline" to improve conditions in Gaza, but actively made things worse:
Elon Musk tweeted about the Internet shutoffs during Woman Life Freedom protests. He’s very well aware of what the Islamic Republic does, and is capable of doing. A billionaire businessman will rarely be on the side of the people.
US law is clear: No nation blocking US humanitarian aid can receive US weapons. Palestinian children are forced to eat pet food and bug infested flour, but @SecBlinken says there’s no need to change our policy. The Biden administration is refusing to comply with US law.
The war in Gaza has been conducted almost entirely with American weapons and $18 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars. We cannot continue to be complicit in this war by supplying more military aid and weaponry to the Netanyahu government. Congress must act to block these arms sales.
Day 404 of the genocide.
Israel failed to meet requirements to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza. People are needlessly starving. It's past time we withhold deadly arms sales to Israel and urge peace now. bbc.com/news/articles/…
The gaslighting from this admin is unreal, you can see the frustration of reporters. Matt Lee: Why did you bother to put in 350 trucks a day if it doesn’t matter Patel: I’m not gonna speak to— Lee: We didn’t give the Israelis 30 days, you guys did, and now those 30 days are up…
“Its analysis found around 44% of verified victims were children and 26% women. The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds”
Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children, UN says bbc.in/4fH3RfP
Those soccer fans - or, more accurately, hooligans - were attacking people, ripping down Palestinian flags, and chanting happily that there are no kids left alive in Gaza. Oh, and it’s you and your administration that helped kill 16,000 Palestinian kids. That’ll be your legacy.
The Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted. We've been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable. We…
These Israeli football hooligans spent their day beating up a cab driver & Amsterdam fans & terrorizing people in their homes, tearing down 🇵🇸flags, chanting “death to the Arabs” & “Let IDF kill them all” & people finally responded. Bringing it to @UN is hilarious & hysterical.
See my remarks at my meeting with the ambassadors of the UN Security Council member nations, with the participation of Israel's ambassador to the UN, @dannydanon >>
Just arrived at a recently bombed location to find that 11 of my cousins, who were sheltering there, have all been killed
Latest updates from Besieged north Gaza please amplify : It’s been 31 days of besieging the north. Israeli forces have destroyed most of the buildings, wiped out entire bloodlines that were sheltering together, burned schools, shut down hospitals, and killed an average of 100…
NEW: John Oliver on Gaza, the election, and @UncommittedMvmt (featuring @Ruwa4Georgia and @AZAlawieh).
This is hopeful and more of what we need @KamalaHarris We will hold you accountable for ending the slaughter of Gaza.
As Chair of the BOCC I was invited again to meet with @KamalaHarris as she arrived in NC last week. Every opportunity with her I have used my limited time to advocate for Gaza & the West Bank. This time I was surprised. - A rambling thread of my thoughts & processing /🧵
One from the archives. The time @FranceskAlbs was interviewed on BBC's Newsnight.
The Israeli government bombed children while they were trying to get their polio vaccination.
israel has not stopped its genocide in gaza, it's still bombing lebanon, and its knesset just voted to ban UNRWA, the UN agency that is life support for palestinian existence. western powers have shown the world that the ruled based international order is a lie
77 Palestinians killed in a single airstrike and hundreds injured don’t even get any attention anymore. The Israeli government has been able to kill us constantly, facing no consequences or repercussions, and the world is watching.
