To put things in context, Israel killed at least 24 people in Gaza today [1], including children. Did they have access to Twitter, let alone any telecommunication mean, let alone food and water? Sorry, but I really don't see how your twitter account being rate-limited or whatever has the slightest importance in this tragedy.

He is just trying to do whatever he can on the side of the conflict he can help out.

It's a war, and collateral damage is, unfortunately, inevitable.

To put things in context, after receiving a warning call from the IDF that their building was going to be bombed, the head of the household ushered the children onto the roof as human shields.

Shameful that you're being downvoted. FTA:

> Official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that six were killed. Those killed were forming a "human shield" on the roof of a home belonging to members of Hamas' militant wing, Palestinian sources said. Two were children, WAFA and Palestinian medical sources said.

Ah, same tactic Putin's bandits are using in Ukraine. Absolutely despicable.
