I sincerely wish news articles would stop linking to X posts, and instead just mirror the content, or something.
Yes, I don't understand why people keep using this platforn.
It's probably an overhead or creative licensing thing. But it sucks. And if you're a day late to the article, it's a gamble that the video hasn't already been removed.
The same reason people keep using FB: it's a dumpster fire if toxic waste and they like it that way
Privacy Badger has replaced this X (Twitter) widget
And Twitter posts as sources is always very sketchy...
It's Al-Jazeera. Their logo is their in the video, and the Arabic is a newscaster talking.
The source is already gone so doesn't really matter now

Article said it’s a must see video, I went to the website and it linked to X.
Shame… I guess I won’t see it
Israel is comitting genocide
Gaza is also on the verge of famine now, if not already in the midst of it.
Everything is going according to the plan once you understand Israeli end goal.
This shit is happening on our watch and fake news is covering it up while half the country thinks Gaza residents deserve it.
It is ongoing.

Mirror for people that don't want to click the Twitter video in the article:
Murderers.
Fuck Israel.
I could never understand why my dad hated Israel so much. Now it's my turn!
Just remember there are 4 groups involved, not 2. You've got the Palestinian people, and the Israeli people. You also have Hamas and the Zionist dominated Israeli government.
As far as I am concerned, 90% of the blame falls on the Zionists. They have constantly broken agreements and goaded the Palestinian people. This led to the rise of Hamas, it was the only group willing to really stand up to the Israeli government.
The Israeli Zionists are working hard to conflate issues with them with issues with Israel in general and antisemitism in general. Don't play into their hands on that.
Five groups: don't forget the British/UN, who fucked up the handling of Mandatory Palestine in the first place.
Frankly, I don't think partitioning the Jews and Muslims into separate states was ever going to work and the British should've forced them to deal with each other in a single secular state instead.
British should have put Israel in Germany
I still don’t understand this.
“We fucked so we are gonna give you someone else’s land”
Zionism predates the holocaust by several decades. The plan was always to colonize an area of the middle east. The founders of the ideology wished to do so to escape persecution in Europe, and determined that enacting violence on the native population of those regions was acceptable to achieve the end goal.
who fucked up the handling of Mandatory Palestine in the first place.
The British didn't fuck up. It was done exactly as intended and designed by the Zionist movement to give the Israel the strategic leverage to occupy more and more land after the initial partitioning.

For sure. Nevertheless it is the state of Israel carrying out the dirty work, rather than a bunch of rogue Zionists doing it by themselves.
Agreed. The state of Israel is thoroughly in the hands of the Zionist elements.
My point is that the options and views of the people aren't always well reflected in their government. A lot of countries have the same problem (US and UK, definitely!). It's human nature to band together, when attacked from the outside. Focusing attacks on the culpable entity helps a lot in correcting that.
I mean your point is true in general but Israel just has that many genocidal maniacs. Just look how much support the war has, even though they want Natanyahu out.
Much of that is the effect of propaganda. Once it becomes "us Vs them" a lot of logical thinking goes out the window. The first step to countering it is to stop feeding into it.

I'm not familiar enough with them to form a good opinion. Thanks for giving me a start.
Real terrorist.
But Benny Morris said the IDF air force signs off with 15 lawyers and super duper confirms all the targets. Surely israel apologists wouldn't lie!
