My tiktok feed is incredibly unkind to Israel with the footage of children either dead or weeping at the hospital beds of their parents. That is why this is happening. That is why they shut off the Internet and electricity in Gaza and that is why they want you to shut off your Internet as well. If you see what is happening in Gaza there's a real possibility that global public opinion turns incredibly hard on the Israeli government.

I've seen about 5 reporters break down crying on tiktok. I watched a doctor treating a patient learn about his children dying in an airstrike. This isn't even graphic content. It is the raw human emotion and fear. Palestinians are putting out their goodbyes on social media and it's heartbreaking.

The Israeli government is a far right fascist government and it knows it can't survive without Western support. This time it's already well out what they're doing. Even their defense of saying they have to fight against Hamas is ringing hollow. You can't decry the death of Israeli civilians and then the world watches you bomb ambulances on Facebook.
