“Gaza’s total population ‘fell by about 254,000 people, a 10.6% decline compared with pre-conflict estimates’, the research notes.”
Cue a Zionist in my mentions asking “but can you really call it a genocide if almost
90% of them are still alive?”
If you know people on social.cologne who aren’t Zionists/genocide supporters please let them know that they cannot see posts by me and others who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people as our instances and accounts are blocked by their Zionist/pro-genocide server.
I can only assume Zionist/pro-genocide servers will not be allowed according to mastodon.social’s new server covenant and suggested as safe spaces to newcomers to the fediverse (including Palestinians suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid) but it would be good to have official confirmation of this.
It’s time for people (and mastodon servers) to be unapologetically unambiguous about which side of history they stand on.

LIVE: Israel opens Rafah crossing in Gaza as dozens killed in attacks

Specifically, it is essential that we know whether the Mastodon server covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant) adopts the IHRA’s Working Definition of Antisemitism (https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism) – which conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel – or the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (https://jerusalemdeclaration.org) – which does not. (Or some other declaration that I’m not myself aware of or had discussed with the mastodon.social team.)

“Throughout our trip to Germany, most of the conversations I had with other survivors and their families reliably returned to fears and intergenerational traumas in the context of the Trump presidency; the rise of nationalism, authoritarianism and uncertainty in the U.S. and around the world. But although this was at the height of devastating reports of famine and genocide emerging from Gaza, everyone in our group, especially the Jews, seemed to make a concerted effort to avoid mention of Palestine.”

for 27 months they called us liars, they called us #Hamas supporters, they called us antisemites, they called us terrorists and other things because we shared the horrifying numbers of deaths in #Gaza.
Quietly, while the world is busy with #Epstein, #Greenland, War on #Iran and other distractions, they accepted the reports of the casualties of the Israeli #genocide in Gaza.
But, the western media don't seem to care much about it.

„Olga Cherevko grew up on military bases in Siberia, belonged to a Christian cult in the U.S. and was sent by the UN to some of the toughest places in the world. None of that prepared her for what she saw in Gaza.“

"The United Kingdom’s controversial rollout of #FacialRecognition technology will rely on software that appears to have already been deployed in #Gaza, where it is used by the Israeli army to track, trace, and abduct thousands of Palestinian civilians passing through checkpoints."

70,000 dead Palestinians, maybe much more. This isn't just a number. It represents grandparents, parents, children, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and loved ones. Each with a name and a face and a story. Murdered by the genocidal Israeli regime and backed by many countries, including the UK.
The murder continues. There should be war crimes trials.

“human processing facility” … USA v Gaza
We normalized this. When the world tolerated #Israel’s crimes against humanity in #Gaza and the world (the West) tolerated prioritizing geopolitical interests over international law and basic humanity, we sent a message: state violence against vulnerable populations is acceptable. This image (note the civilians on the ground) looks like a massacre, not immigration enforcement.
