That 3rd tweet from Aug 17th comes from this exchange, starting from a denial of starvation in Gaza: ***** https://nitter.poast.org/Glinner/status/1957162098238321000#m Jews Fight Back 🇺🇸🇮🇱 @JewsFightBack Aug 17 She had leukemia so advanced her bone marrow collapsed (pancytopenia). That’s cancer. Not hunger. Not malnutrition. Her medical report doesn’t list “malnutrition” once. The BBC invented it. That’s not sloppy journalism. That’s outright fraud. This tweet is unavailable alastair frew @alastairfrew Aug 17 Has Israel withdrawn all military from Gaza and rebuilt all the hospitals it destroyed? (I’ll wait for your reply, which won’t ever come) Graham Linehan 🎗️ @Glinner Aug 17 Has Hamas released the hostages or surrendered? You know they could end the war right away, right? alastair frew @alastairfrew Aug 17 Israel to withdraw from Gaza and the West Bank now. Hamas to release the last prisoners now. Yes? Or do you only want one of those? Graham Linehan 🎗️ @Glinner Aug 17 Replying to @alastairfrew @JewsFightBack Israel already withdrew from Gaza and were rewarded with the worst attack on Jews since WWII. alastair frew @alastairfrew Aug 17 Replying to @Glinner @JewsFightBack Israel has Gaza under blockade and has stolen huge swathes of land. Israel occupies the West Bank. You are an intelligent and influential man, and yet you ignore all of this. Why is that? ***** It's just so unbelievably myopic, partisan, ignorant, one-sided, historically illiterate... I thought Irish people were supposed to understand about violent settler colonialism, especially those espousing leftist, internationalist values and not gung-ho unionists. Wtf is wrong with Linehan that his only engagement with this issue is to bash pro-Palestinians and regurgitate extreme zionist talking points while completely ignoring or denying the clear-as-day atrocities that Israel has been perpetrating every day since Oct 7th, and long before. It's got to be some kind of mind virus or something... The Rogan discussion of blandly discussing flooding the tunnels in Gaza as some kind of totally acceptable or proportionate response to the Hamas attacks is similarly insane. Do they not get the context of a desperate resistance organisation mounting a last gasp attempt to end the death grip the occupying power has on their entire society? And all they're concerned with is how best to extinguish that resistance and justify it in terms of legitimate defense - even now after it has been endlessly documented by the israelis themselves, that this is all about taking the land, expelling the people and killing those who try to stay behind. It's like Good Germans making a few tutting noises about how bad the situation is in the Warsaw ghetto, but that it's all because of those extremist resistance fighters and the nazis are justified with any response they decide on, but if they could try to minimise unnecessary casualties that would be best. "Why not just flood the tunnels?" - Jesus H Christ... don't these sh!theads listen to what they're saying? jeers, I |
