Finally, and this is the most important point, international observers and press MUST BE PERMITTED ENTRY INTO GAZA IMMEDIATELY.

We need a full accounting of the horrors of this genocide. The laughably implausible death toll of 60,000 must be corrected. It's time for the truth.

The only people whose opinion matters on this peace deal are the people of Gaza, many of whom are cautiously optimistic. It is hard to be genuinely hopeful as a Palestinian, but I pray that the ceasefire holds and that Israel does not renege on the agreement.

The IDF took 3D animations from the Scottish Maritime Museum, a cyberpunk project and other places to make shit up about Gaza, Lebanon and Iran and these were reproduced in international outlets for the past 2 years.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

An ancient bridge crumbles, eaten by monsters. The network of tree portals that connects the world-spanning Empire malfunctions. Disasters pile up, and the Empire’s disaster poet Tarem, sent to document them, begins to realise that empire is the greatest catastrophe of all. #F #A #LGBT #OWN #DVPit
