   The only place I have found Palestinian voices is on Twitter, even as a broken site, and even with all the censorship of Palestinian voices. And the most heartbreaking thing is when journalists who were updating us with the most horrific updates, photos and videos tweet "this might be my last tweet," and their friends say "X's home was bombed and we haven't heard from them in 3 hours" "a new day and there is no news about X."

     Some of them say "this might be my last tweet and I don't ever want you to forget that you left us alone and isolated in Gaza."

     I have never seen something like this in my life and I will never be the same, seeing the fascists in the tech industry I'm surrounded by for whom it is so easy to deny, dehumanize and justify this genocide.

     @timnitGebru@dair-community.social There are Al Jazeera reporters inside Gaza with their families. They give voices to Gaza's people in their reports. One lost his entire family except a daughter and said that it is his duties to continue reporting about what's going on in Gaza. Do you know The Listening Post? Great program about how medias cover the news.

     @timnitGebru my LinkedIn feed has become a twitter-like cesspool of out and out call for blood, or, worse, support for one group with a loud and blaring non mention of the more helpless group. I tried to explain to a non tech friend that big tech was woke in sense of having badges to celebrate pride month, but when it came to solutions that actually tackle injustice (eg unions), big tech was the boot

     In Saturday night’s press conference, Netanyahu invoked a biblical command to commit genocide - quoting a passage about the Amalekites.

     It is taught to all schoolchildren in Israel, around fifth or sixth grade, with an emphasis on the penalty paid by king Saul for sparing the life of the Amalekite king: he died on a battlefield.
     That is part of the curriculum. Invoking it is not a dog whistle.
