The Israel/Palestine Situation right now:

It feels like this is the exact kind of situation that needed something like Twitter, before it was bought and then scrapped for parts and turned into a Birdchan Hellhole by Apartheid Elon.

And speaking of Apartheid:

Any situation were civilians are oppressed or killed is bad, ya'll. Israeli and Palestinian alike. Hamas should not be bombing people, but Israel shouldn't be perpetuating an Apartheid state. And dismantling Apartheid in this case would help to defang Hamas. It seems like this should be obvious.

These are my feelings about the situation. I'm just terrified that it's going to get a lot worse.

Yup. Though, honestly, I am seeing enough shit-tier takes on Bluesky that I don't need to know what a larger site would do.

I was thinking, if people in Gaza had a way to post what was going on from their side. Bibi needs to know that the whole world is watching.

They can! Lots do. It honestly just comes down to racism and colonialism, to be honest. The Israeli victims are identified by name and face and story; the Palestinian victims are identified by number and sometimes age, if we're lucky. White people are able to humanize 20-something-year-olds having a rave 1 km from an open air prison, but not the people inside that open air prison.
