Sounds familiar. Very on brand for this institution, actually.

If the best you have is someone that considers the author of the Crime Bill a "good friend," refuses to call a genocide a genocide, and won't mobilize the tens of thousands of people going to his rallies to actually fight back against encroaching fascism, what good is he, really?

Byron C Clark @byroncclark I feel like to many people don't recognise fascism because they think fascism will arrive selling oppression and tyranny, but if you're part of the privileged group fascism is selling you safety, normalcy, and tradition

Yes, fascism is sold to white people as “keeping you safe”. They know it’s brutality, but think it’ll only be used on black/brown people. They’re right… in the short run. Suckers gonna be so surprised.

I think Radio Free Asia just accidentally exposed why South Korea, Ukraine, and now the US are claiming there are DPRK troops in Ukraine despite literally no evidence.
South Korea is planning to sell weapons to Ukraine.

To argue a ceasefire violation (which Israel has been repeatedly guilty of) justifies the current slaughter of Palestinians is hypocritical; similarly, denying that Palestinians face violence at the hands of the Israeli state even when a "ceasefire" is in place ignores reality.

Palestinian death toll reached 9,500, including over 6,400 children and women Israeli raids led to the destruction of 55 mosques, 3 universities, and 3 churches, says Gaza media office Samar L.

Gaza is no exception to this trend. Israeli strikes in Gaza since Oct. 7 have killed at least 9,500 Palestinians, including 3,900 children.Gaza is no exception to this trend. Israeli strikes in Gaza since Oct. 7 have killed at least 9,500 Palestinians, including 3,900 children.

Israel-Palestine Conflict The Human Cost - from 2008 to 2023 Palestinian Deaths: 6407 Israeli Deaths: 308 [chart shows yearly breakdown of these figures through Oct 7, 2023]

Even when ceasefires are in place, the Palestinian people are and have been subject to a brutal campaign of occupation by Israel. Palestinians civilians and children were already being killed by Israel in record, disproportionate numbers prior to the events of Oct 7.

Self-defense or provocation: Israel's history of breaking ceasefires | IMEU The Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) is a non-profit organization that offers journalists facts, analysis, experts, and digital resources about Palestine and Palestinians.

Furthermore, 2022 is far from the only example of Israel breaking a ceasefire. Consider the article below, written in 2012, which outlines numerous examples of this occurring in 1949, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1981, 1982, 1988, 2001, 2002, 2008, 2011, and 2012.

"But these numbers refer to incidents in the West Bank, not Gaza"

These struggles are linked and not isolated from one another. The most recent ceasefire arose after the Israelis unleashed a series of "preemptive" airstrikes in Gaza after making an arrest in the West Bank.

Screenshot of UN OCHA report: "The number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank and Israel by Israeli forces so far in 2023 (172) has surpassed the total number killed in all of 2022 (155), which already saw the highest fatalities in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 2005."

The same report goes on to note that the 2022 fatality totals, which had already been exceeded by August 2023, were the highest they had been since 2005.

Israeli forces killed six Palestinians, including one child, during Israeli force operations across the West Bank, some of which involved exchanges of fire with Palestinians.

An August UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs report stated "The number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank and Israel by Israeli forces so far in 2023 (172) has surpassed the total number killed in all of 2022 (155)".

"Almost half of the Palestinian society are children The estimated number of children (under 18 years) is expected to be 2.39 million in Palestine by mid-2023; 1.22 million males and 1.17 million females. Children in Palestine represent about 44% of the total population (41% in the West Bank, and 47% in Gaza Strip)." Source: Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics

Indeed, it should come as no surprise that children are frequent victims of violence from Israeli forces, given that children account for nearly half of the Palestinian population. 41% of Palestinians in the West Bank, and 47% in Gaza, are under 18.

This exceeds the numbers reported in November 2022 from Save the Children, who noted at the time that 2022 had been the deadliest year for Palestinian Children in the West Bank since 2006.

Save the Children International published a report in September noting that 2023 was already the deadliest year on record for Palestinian children in the West Bank, with at least 38 Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces; an average of more than one child each week.

I've been seeing a talking point being used lately that I want to address, which goes like this: "There was already a ceasefire before Oct 7..."
This is a disingenuous statement which ignores the brutal reality of life under occupation by Israel for the Palestinian people. 🧵

However well-intentioned, calls for a mere ceasefire don't go far enough. The blockade on Gaza must end. The occupation of Palestinian territory must end. The conditions that led to this moment need to be addressed, else the status quo of apartheid and genocide will continue unimpeded.
