Elon Musk is paying blue checks for ad revenue in the replies of their Tweets now. He is only paying "verified" accounts for this, even if the account in question has hundreds of thousands of followers.
“How can you be Jewish and support Palestine???”
It’s easy really. Other than having a soul, it’s because when the Nazis had our people in ghettos, when we were sent to death camps, when we asked for help and nobody listened. We know what it’s like to be begging for someone to listen. Because we know what the pain of loss, of starvation, of losing your home, of being mocked and dehumanised and othered feels like. Because we know that no life is above anothers.

[ID: A video clip showing a Black person in a green coat interviewing an elderly white person holding up a flag, with more protesters in the background displaying Palestinian flags.
The interviewer asks, "Why is it important for you to be here today?"
The protester responds, "Well, uh, I'm Jewish, I'm Israeli, my parents were the only survivors of their families from the Holocaust. They both survived Auschwitz. I'm not going to support genocide am I?
"I'm here with the Palestinians, and we are here with Palestine, because we don't believe that what the British government is doing is correct. The British government is supporting this genocide! It's arming Israel, it's financing Israel.
"BBC and the other media here is supporting genocide. This is illegal. This is immoral. We don't agree with it, we will never agree with it, and as Jews -- and myself as Israeli -- I am totally against it, and we will continue to be against it.
There are now more than 60 such events in the whole of Britain, uh, people don't want to support this. They are against this government on so many other issues, but especially on this one."
Another elderly white protester next to the first joins in, leaning forward to add:
"And, also, this didn't start on October the 7th. In 1948, Palestinian villages, hundreds of them --"
Another elderly protester interjects specifically, "500 of them".
The second protestor nods and continues, "were demolished, thousands of Palestinians, innocent men, women, and children were slaughtered, and seven-hundred and fifty thousand Palestinian refugees were created. That's when it started, and it hasn't stopped since!"

take some time to notice your vision. see how easily you detect motion. focus on something in your peripheral (without moving your eyes to it). see how it works. look at your hands. pick something up with your fingers. appreciate how ridiculously specialized they are in fine motor skills (even if your personal motor skills are lackluster). think about how you have a body built to be an apex predator through use of tools. think about how the brain of your kind has created a digital hivemind uniting the whole world. now look back at the screen. look at the tab where you are in an argument about cartoons on tumblr. close the tab. open a new tab. google “tribute to anomalocaris”. watch the video that comes up. leave a like. subscribe even though the channel has been inactive for 8 years. you will need it in the coming times

Shocking how many people don’t know that hens lay non-fertilized eggs and think the yolk they’re eating is a baby chicken
Again the @BBCNews fails to say Israel killed Refaat Alareer, let alone the truth, which is that like Shireen Abu Akleh, he was assassinated.
Instead, they obfuscate and sanitize Israeli war crimes by removing Israel from the fact of their murder of @refaat17.
WHO killed him? This @BBCWorld headline intentionally leaves it vague.
Time and time again the @BBC and too many others intentionally advance the idea that Palestinians just die on their own in the thousands, in targeted attacks on civilians.
Today, I learned about something terrible, and I want to explain it further here or in a video, but I can't quite imagine what I read, really.
Israel has the world's largest skin bank for the treatment of burns, skin cancer, and other conditions. However, in a 2009 documentary, it was revealed that most of the skin in the bank isn't from Israelis but rather from Palestinians, taken from "unidentified" or "not subjected to forensic autopsy to determine the cause of death" martyrs.
An article emerged around the same time, in which the head of the forensic medicine institute exposed Israel for allegedly killing and harvesting organs from Palestinian individuals without their or their families' consent. Reports at that time suggested that people from Gaza and the West Bank were being arrested, and their bodies returned with missing organs. Article Link: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/dec/21/israeli-pathologists-harvested-organs
Why the Jewish people don't register themselves as donors before they pass away, for instance, and allow their organs to be taken from them after they pass away? In the Jewish faith (as well as in Islam), the body is supposed to be returned to its Creator as intact as possible. Israel is aware of this in Islam, but as we've seen, they don't seem to regard them as anything other than animals...
