🧵Major change in Gaza fatality report by UN: They now publish only identified fatalities admitting large number are made up by Hamas. Women & children half the “14,000 kids” killed often claim. Now 24,700 fatalities identified and >14,000 are combatants according to IDF. 1/3

Clementine Ford is a toxic individual
She is a failed leader morally. She is a failed leader administratively- she did nothing about class disruptions and she did nothing about sanctions about the disrupters.
And she is a proven plagiarist.
So why does the @harvard board still tolerate her.

The extent of destruction in Gaza is horrifying 👇
Sorry for the typo, this is Homs, Syria 🇸🇾, bombed by the Assad regime.
Nobody protests in European capitals. No rage, no ceasefire demand. Just a few hundred thousand civilians killed. Carry on.
Great talk by Bari Weiss. Especially useful for secondary students
