While the war on Hamas has moved into a “new phase,” activists went whining to Elon Musk on Twitter/X because Gaza lost internet. What did they want Elon to do? Give Gaza free Starlink!

Activists were quick to point out that Elon Musk had given Ukraine free Starlink access, and demanded the same for Gaza with the hashtag #starlinkforgaza. “Live by the promise of hashtag“, I guess. Never mind that Ukraine and Gaza are not at all comparable. Ukraine was invaded by Russia for territorial expansion in Putin’s desire to reconstitute the Soviet Union. Hamas wants to kill innocent Jews, took hostages, and wants to destroy the nation of Israel.

But back to the modern version of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, where wi-fi is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. One of the loudest voices demanding that someone Do Something™ was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She was performatively crying over the lack of internet in Gaza, and went to Twitter/X to register her complaint with… the universe? She is apparently complaining into the void that is social media.
