Meta Instagram users accuse platform of censoring posts supporting Palestine - Kari Paul

"Meta made similar excuses in May 2021, during a separate series of escalations in Palestine during which Facebook and Instagram users posting about Palestine reported a similar reduction in the reach of their posts. Those incidents prompted a letter signed by more than 200 Meta employees demanding the company address such shortcomings. A subsequent independent analysis commissioned by Meta found that the social networks had violated Palestinian human rights by censoring content related to Israel’s attacks on Gaza."

In addition to allegations of shadow banning and outright censorship, Meta was under fire this week after users documented a glitch that translated “Palestinian” followed by the Arabic phrase “Praise be to Allah” to “Palestinian terrorists” in multiple profiles. A former Facebook employee with access to discussions among current Meta employees said the issue “really pushed a lot of people over the edge” – internally and externally.

“You cannot keep blaming it on glitches when it’s spreading misinformation and dehumanizing Palestinians by feeding into the narrative that all Palestinians are terrorists,” said the former employee, who spoke anonymously for fear of retaliation. “It’s very overwhelming for a lot of the employees of the company.”

Just days later, Ben Gvir's Kahanist party would become the 3rd largest political force in Israel.

Nov 16, 2023: "Dozens killed in latest Israeli bombing of Gaza Mosque - Israeli planes targeted the Mosque as worshippers gathered for a congressional prayer"

"At least 50 Palestinians were killed and dozens of others injured on 15 November after the Israeli army targeted a mosque in the besieged Gaza Strip, WAFA news agency reports.

The attack on the Sabra neighborhood was conducted during a congressional prayer when the mosque was full of Palestinian worshippers.

Israel has conducted similar attacks on places of worship since its inception; in this war alone, multiple Mosques and churches have been leveled, including ones dating back centuries.

On 20 October, the Israeli army destroyed the Grand Al-Omari Mosque in Jabalia, dating back to the 7th century; it was one of the largest mosques in Palestine."

Return to the east bank of the Jordan! Reach Syria! It’s all ours from the Nile to the Euphrates!'"

CHD President Mary Holland: ‘Children Should Have No Role in Violent Conflict’

Children’s Health Defense President Mary Holland today issued the following statement in response to media reports of violence affecting children in Gaza and Israel.
Our mission at Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is to protect children’s health and freedom, yet these ideals are impossible when children are trapped by terrorism and war.
CHD grieves for the children and families that have been injured or have died in violent conflicts occurring in the world today.
We condemn acts that intentionally or negligently target children. Children should have no role in violent conflict.

CHD calls on all parties, governmental and non-governmental, to seek diplomatic solutions. All children deserve health, freedom and peace.

The US' unconditional support of Israel is destroying the last pathetic shreds of its "moral standing" in the world:

"What do you think the world sees when they watch a trapped, stateless civilian population of 2.2 million people—half of whom are children—being obliterated by one of the world's most powerful militaries... backed and funded and armed by the world's most powerful?"
