This article in @taz.de about settler violence opens with @amnesty.org Apartheid report, claiming misleadingly that this report speaks of "'Apartheid' in the palestinian territories". They even link to the report.

Opinion piece in @szde.bsky.social on why the 20-point-plan, like earlier initiatives, denies Palestinians basic human rights, including self determination, and how States like Germany are, and have been, untrustworthy actors in the question of Palestine.

@zdfde.bsky.social justifies the Israeli military's killing of a colleague and a child in Gaza after it provides a document claiming to prove he was a member of Hamas.
This colleague was still a civilian, no matter what he was a member of.
It's appalling that ZDF legitimizes such brutality!

Israel directly controls 58% of Gaza, then lays yellow blocks even further into the territory, severely limits aid and blocks almost all medical supplies from entering. It kills Palestinians in airstrikes and demolishes residential buildings.
This is anything but a ceasefire. It's still genocide.

While a vast majority of diplomats walk out before Netanyahu's speech at the UN making him speak in front of an almost empty room, the Israeli military forces Palestinians in Gaza to listen to it by bringing massive loudspeakers and blasting the sound into Gaza.

In reality, they were killed by the Israeli military.

This is what German outlets print in their articles on the targeted killing of 6 journalists,among them Anas Al-Sharif.In each article,we get a detailed account of the point of view of Israel,the perpetrator.
A record number of journalists get killed in Gaza in total impunity,and that's what we get.
