For your own wellbeing, just be careful today on what you watch.

Quite a shocking video.

US soldier douses himself in petrol and sets himself alight outside of the Israeli embassy in DC.

Certainly one way to raise attention on the plight of Palestinians.

Odd thread - I don’t tend to search this kind of thing on YT , or watch this type of thing on any social media

Where ever you watched it I assume you reported it

I have just glimpsed a still from it on my Croydon4Palestine WhatsApp group, I wish I hadn't. Not a nice start to the morning.

Wherever possible I avoid the links which delve into the horrors of what is currently happening in Occupied Palestine - I don't need convincing and I don't know why some people feel the need to focus so much on it.

Odd thread.

It's a useful one. I haven't seen that, and I don't want to.  Sometimes it not a case of going looking for these things, you can open links on Twitter and the like without realising until it's too late. Thanks OP.

I'll also remember not to look at my Rage Against The Machine album

Because a lot of other people still think it's perfectly justified behaviour?

Apparently the air force guy in question has died now.

I just didn’t click on a bluesky sensitive image because of having already seen this thread, so OP, I thank you.

The whole situation is awful and this is more of the same, poor bloke.

I've already seen the picture this morning, but I have to say I was actually more unsettled by the Zionists retweeting the picture/video while insulting him and posting memes than the picture itself. Shut the **** up, scumbags.

Sounds horrible. It must be a horrific way to go.

But......this is a fascinating insight into different people's social media experiences and the power of the algorithm. There is just no way anything like this would come up in mine. Just not going to happen. Mine is full of cats (obviously), photos of kayaks in amazing locations, beautiful woodwork projects, people swimming amid ice and amazing landscape photography.

Seems about normal.

Hopefully you've not seen the one of Isrealis pissing on dead Palestinians.

Came up on reddit in the r/IsrealCrimes group. Ironically the post before it was from r/mademesmile, a little puppy falling asleep in a yoga class.

Funnily enough, I get puppy yoga videos and then an alert for a non graphic version of the news story.

Really depends what you follow.
