@pgiulan Interesting. For those of us outside the US, hoping that they provide hosting outside of the U.S. Or else provide ways of self-hosting on servers outside the U.S.

If you're a Palestinian living in the West Bank, being an Oscar Award winning co-director of a film does not protect you from apartheid Israel's settler violence.

Human shields? And in the West Bank where Hamas has no serious presence?

@realcaseyrollins @thor @icedquinn @galena There is no question whatsoever that the assassination of Palestinian American Journalist Shireen Abu Aleh in 2022 by the IDF was a murder. Is the IDF arguing that their snipers are incompetent?

@realcaseyrollins @thor @icedquinn @galena Israel bombed the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza twice, killed and injured perhaps hundreds of civilians in order to kill one mid-level Hamas commander. Do you find that acceptable?

Is Israeli intel incompetent now too?

@realcaseyrollins @thor @icedquinn @galena A good chunk of the rest of the world looks at this as terrorizing a civilian population in an act of "ethnic cleansing".

@realcaseyrollins @thor @icedquinn @galena Anyway, it's the weekend. I have a mass rally in #solidarity with #Palestine to attend. You should go to the event where you live as well. There is life beyond the internet.

@realcaseyrollins @thor @icedquinn @galena so you want to go to a pro genocide protest?

@realcaseyrollins @thor @icedquinn @galena The one exception I would make is that there was a degree of IDF incompetence around October 7th. Most of the IDF was tied up in the West Bank where there were violent settler land seizures going on with the IDF frequently assisting. So, they responded in chaotic ways to the attacks of October 7th. There are some reports from Israeli civilian witnesses that (at least) some Israeli deaths were "friendly fire" incidents.

@realcaseyrollins @thor @icedquinn @galena Israel is an apartheid state with many similarities to South Africa (I've been there...on both sides of "the wall") It also functions as the "local cop" in the US Empire's imperial system and U.S. taxpayers fund it to the tune of about $4 billion per year.

Of course the Israeli state lies. It has every reason to.

@realcaseyrollins @thor @icedquinn @galena They are lying a lot these days, but here are some that date back to 2014.

@realcaseyrollins @thor @icedquinn @galena Like they bombed two ambulances today in front of a hospital. The IDF's evidence is simply "we say so".

We are expected to believe such things based on what? Faith???

@realcaseyrollins @thor @icedquinn @galena The IDF knows the geographic coordinates of every UN facility in Gaza. They bomb them anyway. Do you think that one of the most technologically sophisticated militaries in the world is just incompetent?
