“Is there a threshold at which witnessing without action becomes a kind of complicity? What happens when the violence of knowing, seeing and remaining within the safe parameters is set by platform logic?” electronicintifada.net/content/awar...

Social media platforms train users to treat witnessing the genocide as the endpoint; we must unlearn that habit.

Drop Site’s full post, linked below, details how Israel is violating the terms of the deal while falsely accusing Hamas of doing so

The bodies of 45 deceased Palestinians transferred from Israel to the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis have not been identified, the hospital’s forensic department told CNN on Tuesday.

https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-gaza-ceasefire-deal-hostages-10-14-25?post-id=cmgr3l8su0000356oqp7oci4i

All of the bodies arrived at the facility with their hands and legs cuffed, the hospital said.
The remains were being held in refrigerators in Israel and came with numbers marking them, rather than names, according to the hospital.
"Some are blindfolded, and there are signs of gunshot wounds in some cases, while others have been run over by tanks," Nasser hospital said.

The current deal states that Israel will return 15 bodies of Palestinians for each deceased Israeli captive. Estimates of the number of bodies of deceased Palestinians that Israel is currently holding range from 600-720+.

If the costs of new “detention“ centers, deportation ops, border wall, more “judges”, & related costs are included with ICE spending, the ugly bill really does make the ICE budget more than the military budgets of every country but the US & China. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/press-releas...

Congress Approves Unprecedented Funding for Mass Deportation

This marks the largest investment in detention and deportation in U.S. history; a policy choice that will sow chaos and tear families apart.
