    Nothing like sending “safety instructions” through a twitter post written in English to a population that has no electricity and that mostly doesn’t speak the language.

      Yes, people in the west specifically the US need to realize the only purpose of messaging like this is to put the barest level of grease on the window so that it lightly obfuscates what we can see.

      This statement and others like it will be (attempted) to be put forth by Israelis and their defenders for decades to come when people bring up the genocide of Palestinians in 2023 and annexation of northern Gaza. They’ll say “no no read the tweets! See! They let them leave!”
