Xitter suspended, without explanation, Steven Monacelli, Ken Klippenstein, Rob Rousseau, the TrueAnon podcast and almost certainly others. And I’d still bet my last dollar that I’ll soon read an article that describes Musk as devoted to free speech.

That's true. By free speech absolutism he means for people with views like mine.

@freemo @JoshuaHolland

Using terms such as 'decolonization' and 'from the river to the sea' are not calls to violence even if the free speech overlord deems them to be.

"I have been working in global public health for 20 years, and I have never heard health and aid organisations as forthright and concerned as they are about the level of suffering and deaths in Gaza. It is an unprecedented conflict, breaking the most tragic records, and while experts might debate whether it’s a genocide or not, the truth is we’re witnessing the mass killing of a population, whether by bomb, bullet, starvation or disease."

"I want to go back to feeling my hand. I wanna hold my hand"

This child is Ibrahim Dahouk, from gaza strip, had his arm amputated in Israeli bombardment. He's crying, saying that he wants his hand back .Ibrahim says that the doctors told him he can if he was able to get outside of gaza for medical attention as soon as possible, he asks for anyone to put an end to the bombing so he could get proper treatment.

Translation:

"-Why are you crying?
I want to go back to holding my hand. I want to feel my hand.
My two cousins have been killed and I got injured. Please stop the war, that's what we want. We want to go back to our homes, we want to go back to live and to walk like before. They don't care about anything, they don't care about us. For the rest of my life I only want to feel my hand again, please. The doctor told me if you want your hand to grow back you have to get treatment abroad, immediately."
Then the man goes into explaining ibrahim's situation. Please if anybody knows how to help get Ibrahim the medical treatment for prosthetic limbs do everything you can, before he loses the remaining parts of his hand, share this on all platforms. And most importantly keep demanding a ceasefire. This has to stop.

Genocide is a defined term and when it is being committed it is appropriate to use it.

https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

jbburd,
@jbburd@mastodon.online avatar

@littletree @ecsd @oatmeal @israel @palestine

Based on Israeli leaders statements of intent, the current actions in Gaza clearly rise to the definition of genocide:

"genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part,"

C. "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; "

cont'd ...

@littletree @ecsd @oatmeal @israel @palestine

cont'd

Hamas' actions on Oct 7 are terrorism and / or war crimes. The case for it being genocide would be more of a challenge to make:

"Genocide can also be committed against only a part of the group, as long as that part is identifiable (including within a geographically limited area) and “substantial.” "

jbburd,
@jbburd@mastodon.online avatar

@littletree @ecsd @oatmeal @israel @palestine

Because it's genocide:

"The Genocide Convention establishes in Article I that the crime of genocide may take place in the context of an armed conflict, international or non-international"

jbburd,

@littletree @ecsd @oatmeal @israel @palestine

Deliberately starving a people, withholding water and medicine, slaughtering thousands of civilians, destroying civilian homes and infrastructure including schools and hospitals. Ethnic cleansing. Israel leaders opening making genocidal statements showing their intent. The goal is to make Gaza unlivable so the population leaves. It's genocide.

jbburd,
@jbburd@mastodon.online avatar

@littletree @tzafrir @ecsd @oatmeal @israel @palestine

"it's war, that's why it can't be called genocide from either side."

"The Genocide Convention establishes in Article I that the crime of genocide may take place in the context of an armed conflict, international or non-international"

schalken, to anarchism

What the hell do leftists mean by a "free Palestine?" One in which Palestinians are oppressed solely by a Palestinian state? Where is the freedom in this?

As Lenin said, "when there is state there can be no freedom, but when there is freedom there will be no state."

@schalken

Freedom means having full human rights in their homeland, not living under the brutal boot of another people.

mahal, to Palestine

A message to moderators on all platforms:

If you have followers that talk about or especially tag out the @palestine and @israel groups (especially when they speak positively about Palestine), beware.

These people will get reported by bad-faith right-wingers, neoliberals, and genocide apologist leftists.

They will pressure you. They will annoy you. They will do everything they can until you get pissed off and do something about those people, who are then completely powerless against your ability to make them migrate and go through the set-up process again.

(There are also people who do actually make real antisemitic statements and resort to hate-speech, which deserves the boot, by the way).

You want to do things differently from Silicon Valley? Resist this. Being a moderator — especially of a large platform — is a duty you can perform with your head held high.

Because even this is a form of resistance — it is something you can do, and it is a very meaningful thing you can do, to be a watchful, mindful, and unrelenting sentinel for the helpless and their advocates.
