Interesting, there are never enough users out there to boost the international humanitarian laws #ihl, and global civil rights, but they are complaining if they get in digital trouble to lose their favourite contents amid censorship or political supression.
These are the same citizens, who reappear after the storm to tell everyone online how engaged they were in #justice and #democracy.

📢 7amleh released its annual report, “Hashtag Palestine 2024”, which highlights the repercussions of the Israeli war on #gaza that lasted over 15 months, and the systematic violations of Palestinian #digital rights. #ihl

The report revealed how Israel utilized digital tools as part of its #war strategy, including the weaponization of artificial intelligence, leading to the shrinking of Palestinian digital spaces.

> The adviser, Phil Gordon, said on social media… “She does not support an arms embargo on Israel. She will continue to work to protect civilians in Gaza and to uphold international humanitarian law.”

A: Arms embargo on #Israel

Per Mr. Gordon she’s not in support of that.

B: …to protect civilians in #Gaza and to uphold international humanitarian law. #IHL

But she is in support of that.

Someone should ask him how you get to B without A.
