I've spoken before about the IOF's involvement in sex trafficking rings - which is one of the reasons I'm terrified about reports on missing Palestinian women and children.

im just catching up on what happened a few hours ago but "south africa has ties with hamas" being a main rebuttal is embarrassing but not unexpected. like according to them atp who doesnt

The fucking nerve of Netanyahu talking about “de-radicalizing” Palestinians, as he is committing genocide. Somebody needs to de-radicalize Benjamin Netanyahu and the state Israel.

Palestinians have always voiced their concern over the way images of their bodies would be shared online if they were to be killed by Israeli strikes. Yet, I am seeing this argument that these images and footage are essential to show the world the true magnitude of the genocide that is taking place in Gaza.

But here’s the thing, we’ve had almost 100 days of this current escalation of genocide with no shortage of these horrifying images and footage and we are not seeing this magnificent impact that this argument alludes to. Hell, we have had decades of horrific images, some dating back to 1948 and here we are 75 years later with little to no solid change. If you really think images of bodies torn apart are impactful, you really have not considered the abundance of these images throughout the past decades worldwide, not just in Palestine. At some point you’ve got to recognise that circulating horrific images is not fulfilling the purpose you think it is fulfilling and you have to question /your/ motive.

I say /your/ because I know some of you will say that journalists in Gaza are the ones actually shooting these images and sharing them. The difference is, that’s their reality and that’s what they are witnessing. It’s lazy to think that our role is to merely hit the share button. I think our role should grow beyond that because unlike them, we have the means to write at length if we want, create graphs, share the info the footage was aiming to relay to the world, share the numbers, names, details, stories… in any way we can.

Not only do we need to understand that many of these people never wanted to be seen in this way, but there are many alternative ways to bring attention to any atrocity around the world. There are many aerial images of the destruction of entire cities that convey a very strong message, we also already have access to figures, information, statistics and testimonies that would serve the cause in a really powerful manner, only difference would be that they don’t rely on gore and shock as a main factor.

I am once again at a loss for words. From @/ democracynow [@/ JoshuaPHill on X. 12/22/23.] [Image description: "Satellite imagery shows Israel's razing of Gaza agricultural land." A 'before' picture shows an aerial picture of lush green fields and areas of healthy crops, as well as the location of a greenhouse. An 'after,' photo shows an aerial view of a completely desolate land -there are no crops, no greenhouse, and no greenery.]
