I had a post removed from Mastodon because it described Israel as a "terrorist state". Would a post be removed if it described Russia or Iran as a terrorist state? If not, why are we giving special protection to a country that is on trial for genocide and has just launched an enormous pager terror attack on Lebanon?
UPDATE: The decision was overturned on appeal so thank you to the person who saw sense.

Don't you fucking dare send our troops to fight for Israel

I don't know how to tell you this, but if you think it's okay to destroy several packed apartment blocks in the hope of killing one man, you are a monster

If you have to be at war with every country around you for the entirety of your existence, maybe it's a you problem

Many of us called it from the beginning that the Gaza genocide was not about rescuing the hostages (who Israel keeps killing) or even about destroying Hamas (who Israel is helping recruit). It was always about ethnically cleansing the land of Gaza...

Lebanese people are switching off all of their devices, including baby monitors, because they don't know which ones Israel can make explode, but we're supposed to pretend Israel is not the terrorist in the equation

In the 1980s, when Israel launched an invasion of Lebanon that left 20,000 dead, Reagan pulled the plug & Thatcher imposed an arms embargo that lasted until 1994. Today our leaders just let Israel get on with it. Biden & Starmer are further to the right than Reagan & Thatcher.

It's a matter of time until the devices of social media users who criticise Israel start randomly exploding, isn't it?

When I worked in a bank, we were told that if we accepted so much as a box of chocolates from a customer, we could face prosecution due to the Bribery Act. How can it possibly be OK for someone to buy expensive clothes for the prime minister's wife? How is that not bribery?

Someone needs to explain how the rich got richer by half a trillion pounds during Tory rule while almost everyone else got poorer. How is this anything other than theft?

This is a start, but it's nowhere near enough, is it? If you acknowledge Israel is violating international law, you need to be suspending all arms licences. This looks like it's performative and intended to appease the ICC/ICJ.

Israel’s largest union, Histadrut, has announced a general strike to force the Israeli government to agree to a ceasefire, following the deaths of 6 hostages. In other words, 800,000 Israeli workers are about to do more to end the genocide than our so-called leaders.

A US professor arrested by FBI for attending the Free Palestine Film festival in London. An Australian journalist facing legal action for retweeting pro-Palestinian content. Across the western world the law is being abused to crush Palestinian solidarity. This is bleak as hell.

We're more productive than we've ever been and yet we're poorer than previous generations. Coincidentally we have far more billionaires than ever before.

Another journalist - Sarah Wilkinson - has been arrested by UK anti-terrorism police. When I say that we in the UK, who report on Israel/Palestine, live in genuine fear the police could break our door down at any moment, there is not a word of exaggeration in that statement. They’re picking us off one by one.

Now before you get too excited, the government is reiterating Israel’s right to self-defence “in line with international humanitarian law”. Interestingly, it never says Palestine has a right to self-defence in line with international humanitarian law.
