It’s hard to watch the horrific scenes coming from Gaza and the escalating death toll, which includes such a high number of children.

I was happy to speak with @marwasf about the information war on social media, internet shutdowns enforced by Israel, and what people can do to support Palestinian rights in this moment.

I'm supposed to give a workshop at the #NGI Forum in three days, and all I can think about is #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #WarCrimes (by Hamas and Tsahal) and all the belligerent bullshit floating around.

Who gives a damn about the #Fediverse in such times? History will remember social media of our times as dull, empty, senseless entertainment to avoid taking responsibility and #EndAllWars.

Really, I can´t think of anything that would make sense. Should I cancel altogether?


The Anti-Defamation League has classified the event — and dozens of other protests led by Jewish groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow — as “anti-Israel,” according to an analysis by The Intercept, and added them to their database documenting rising antisemitism across the U.S.

"But they voted for Hamas..."

Whatever your sympathies on the Gaza situation, please stop using this as a justification for anything, because it's not true.

Feel free to share this. Stats:

- most recent election in Palestine: 17 years ago in 2006
- age of suffrage: 18
- ∴ minimum age *now* to have voted then: 17+18 = 35
- Palestinian population: ~5 million (Gaza plus West Bank, per CIA World Factbook)
- …of which, people under 35: ~3 million
- ∴ ~ 60% of current Palestinians could not possibly have voted for Hamas

Somebody reported me to myself, y’all. How’s your day going? 😀

Hint: if you don’t like my comparing Israel to Russia, go tell Israel to stop acting like Russia.

(And find out how the fediverse works before you go making an arse of yourself trying to censor me on my own personal instance.)
