There is something obscenely ghoulish about whining about rocket sirens (sirens, not rocket injuries or detonations) when you’ve murdered 710 people in 24 hours, 42% of whom were children and babies.
🚨 Tel Aviv is under attack. Rocket sirens ring in neighborhoods near Tel Aviv, sending innocent civilians running for shelter.

This is sickening, @CNN. You know very well a rocket cannot be the cause of this. You know that because even laypeople know that any rocket Hamas has doesn't have the capacity to kill 500 ppl. This is an Israeli warcrime and it's becoming unbearable watching you give cover for.

Israel banning baby formula is evil. If you’ve ever heard a baby cry from hunger this should haunt you forever and ever.
Baby formula is also banned from entering Gaza. Just imagine the plight of infants who rely on it—there’s no alternative. Mothers have nothing to give, nothing to do but watch their babies waste away from dehydration and starvation. This is the horror Israel has made normal.

Don’t waste time with Israel’s preposterous claim that they didn’t bomb the Al Ahli hospital. They did. They’ve been bombing medical facilities all week, promised to flatten Gaza & are the ONLY ONES with the weapons capacity to kill 1,000 people in a go. This is a strategy to.

This is an advance warning of the genocide that Israel is planning to commit. Gazans cannot leave, they are blockaded by sea and under a land siege, they cannot cross the border into Egypt. To bombard an occupied population with no ability to flee is a war crime.
Netanyahu telling Palestinians in Gaza to “leave now,” because he’s about to bombard the besieged Strip, as if they can do anything to leave that open-air prison which is Gaza.
