The genocide is not over. We are dealing with overseers and executioners of an extermination campaign of children.

According to @sanasaeed.bsky.social, mainstream outlets use stories that highlight the toll of human suffering in Gaza to defend themselves when accused of bias.

“These types of ‘good stories’ still diminish the role of the United States and Israel in the genocide itself.”

More tweets from those in Gaza

You’re here and not necessarily hearing / reading the experiences of Palestinians in Gaza in real time.

Here are just some of the tweets from Palestinians in Gaza as Israel turns this into one of the bloodiest nights of the genocide.

Agreed. One of the best films I’ve seen in awhile and she carried that film on her back, shoulders and in her eyes.

yeah the woman who starred in a film about the cruel discarding of aging women in the entertainment industry in exchange for the hot new piece of ass losing to, well, pretty much that ..is too on the nose.

Demi Moore losing to Mikey Madison should be a post-credits scene to The Substance.

Trump’s plan for “emptying” Gaza had headlines and reports using the word “ethnic cleansing” and referencing it as a violation of international law. 145 Democrats called it “morally indefensible”.

None of that for Israel’s actual crimes.

Israel wants to extend the war, not the ceasefire.

It’s campaign of starvation - a war crime - is presented just as a tactic to extend the first phase of the ceasefire.

Israel wants to extend the first phase because the second phase would require it to withdraw its troops from Gaza & end the war.

This act is unequivocally anti-Muslim, it is an intentional desecration of the holy month; it is another iteration of the ethnosupremacy that has been a defining feature of the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

At a time when Muslims are already fasting out of spiritual and communal devotion, Israel wants to starve them - there’s almost a humor in it for them.

Sana Saeed @sanasaeed.bsky.social · Mar 2

There is something pathologically cruel—distinctly Israeli, in its calculated brutality—about starving a population that is 99% Muslim on the second day of Ramadan.

This is actually insane? They weren’t even US citizens?

Their deaths—at the hands of Israel—are being used as a war cry for continuing the extermination of Palestinians. It’s become abundantly clear that the culture and embrace of genocide in this country won’t be dismantled.

If we want to talk about a theater of macabre, that performs humiliation and desecration of the dead, the Israelis are its greatest playwrights.

We’ve had 16 months straight of IDF soldiers filming themselves and taking photos of themselves wearing Palestinian women’s lingerie, playing and desecrating the bedrooms of children they’ve displaced, stepping on skulls of decomposed Palestinians.. it’s never ending.

Sana Saeed @sanasaeed.bsky.social · Feb 26

Incredible thing to write and publish while a video, taken by an IDF soldier, of dogs eating the carcass of a murdered Palestinian circulates on social media—not an outlier of Israeli treatment of the Palestinians they’ve killed, but the norm.

Because thats the thing: the only way to create empathy for Israelis and manufacture them as the primary victims is, as we’ve seen, through presenting Palestinians as worthy of receiving every type of violence.

Sana Saeed @sanasaeed.bsky.social · Feb 20

Constantly witnessing the humanization of every Israeli - by our media, elected officials, everyone - through the genocidal dehumanization of every single Palestinian is really goddamn exhausting.

I also want to note that the New York Times is well aware of how ethically compromised (to put it politely) Screams without Words was because they shelved The Daily episode about it. They just refuse to takedown and issue a correction & apology for the original.

Sana Saeed @sanasaeed.bsky.social · Feb 20

That is intentional. Just as it was intentional that the New York Times published a poorly investigated piece based on fabricated testimonies that was then kept up despite being completely debunked./3

It cannot be emphasized enough how hard you have to work when writing a report, when editing that report, to not refer to something that is clearly a type of violence (like sexual violence) as what it is. “Sexual violence” is not a legal term, so there is no legal caution to be taken here. /2
