Thank you Saul, for compiling this long, and frankly grotesque list of strategic Israeli "laws & military orders" that have systematically controlled and suppressed the Palestinian people at every level restrictibg their daily life for decades!

Israel truly is an abomination. #freePalestine🇵🇸

Talk With Saul @talkwithsaul.bsky.social · Jan 29

Q: Did it really start on Oct 7?
A: Below is a list of laws and military orders, spanning decades, designed to suppress the Palestinian people. These policies target nearly every aspect of daily life with an intensity and focus that is unprecedented. The list is very, very long.

BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

I have trans women friends who’ve been living authentically for decades - how are they going to start using the gents?
I have a tall cis female friend who’s now scared to use ladies loos because she’s been harassed several times.
This code is both cruel and unworkable.

Takk for denne artikkelen, VG! Vi trenger flere slike skildringer av mennesker i Gaza og de mange skjebnene. Så mange historier jeg er redd aldri vil bli fortalt, men her fikk vi i alle fall et glimt ❤️🇵🇸🍉💔

That one is spewing some smelly bullshit, because trans rights is an integral part of the fight for any true feminist.

It is a shame we have to have the fight, but there's no way to keep fighting for women's rights with any kind of integrity, if you don't include trans rights in your fight.

Never mind doing the right thing, because it's right... It's just: "How do we get these damned people to vote for us"?

Norzola @norzola.bsky.social · 17h

This is true, and my sentiment exactly. If being a billionaire was prohibited, so many problems would simply disappear. If getting richer wasn't top priority for so many people we would see big changes in people's behaviour and choices. I think it's fair to say the world would be a better place.

Literally every problem I ever talk about in politics, institutions, injustice, racism, discrimination, etc… can frustratingly be boiled down to “the money”

You could ignore the nuance of every issue and just get rid of capitalism and 90% of every other issue would be solved.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was finishing his studies to be a civil engineer in Rafah. His home and the small farm that him and his family had were destroyed. He’s now trying to survive with his large family, including many small children, in tents.

Cannot forget, what did not happen.

It didn't "stick" because Israel doesn't want peace, they want Palestine (and more), and Biden aided and abetted the genocide with weapons, money, Israeli propaganda, and unwavering support instead of any actual pressure to make them stop killing babies.

Probably one of two outcomes Bezos considers a success: a) keep it going but only producing Bezos-approved crap, or b) tank the thing; in any case it's about curbing free, investigative journalism.

Jo mer jeg leser om områdets historie, jo mer overbevist blir jeg om at etableringen av Israel er en av tidenes verste beslutninger. Kan ikke se at dette hadde noe som helst potensial for fred. Hjelper ikke at Israel, fra dag én, har vært brutal og utspekulert ned til minste detalj. Det er så stygt.

Norzola @norzola.bsky.social · 19h

Jeg tror en viktig del av problemet er at zionistene aldri hadde intensjon om å akseptere grensene som ble tegnet i 1948, tror faktisk ikke de noengang formelt godkjente det heller, og det var alltid planen å tilegne seg langt større områder; evig krig var ikke til å unngå. Tror jeg.

BILLIONAIRES SHOULDN'T
EXIST
Human brains have not evolved to understand large numbers. As a result, we tend to vastly underestimate how large "one billion" is.
This may help:
One million seconds = 11 days
One billion seconds = 32 years
