Can you direct link a screenshot as I have Twitter blocked.

Twitter and screenshots of Twitter are not credible sources from which to form your opinions.

It would give me a starting point to look into what they are arguing since there are no other details in their comment.

Here is the text of the tweet and the text of the tweet quoted in it:

A draft that does not demand an immediate ceasefire, but instead suggests one might be negotiated if certain conditions are met, and that genocidal attacks can otherwise continue, is not a ceasefire resolution. It is a ransom note.

It quotes the following by Al Jazeera English:

The US has drafted a new UN Security Council resolution that appears to support a ceasefire in Gaza, after blocking several other attempts at achieving a truce. Al Jazeera’s @baysontheroad looks at what the new US document says.

The quoted aje tweet is in reference to this video and the video is embedded in the tweet.

E: what do you do when you don’t have someone around to copy and paste shit from twitter? It seems absurd to block twitter but not have any way of accessing information that’s distributed on that website…

Thank you.

I usually hope the original poster will post it and not give them any more views ad if they don't I just move on.

Well shit, I’m here, might as well ask the obvious question:

Why? To what end?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Interested in what the commenter had to say but not interested enough to give Twitter a view?

I have Reddit and Meta blocked too.

I guess I was asking to what end you are trying to avoid viewing twitter to the extent that you don’t use a stand in.
