Abstract: This research examines social media discourses to unravel how moral evaluation can be used to legitimize and delegitimize state violence. Based on a Colombian case of police violence targeting protesting students at the University of Cauca, this study unravels the role of moral evaluation of social actors and their actions in affirming or contesting state violence. It underlines the use of dichotomies (i.e., “bravery-cowardice,” “honesty-dishonesty,” and “evilness-goodness”), the attribution of immoral character traits, and inciting negative emotions as ways of attributing morality or immorality to victims and perpetrators to legitimize or delegitimize political violence. It especially underlines the use of religious references in moral evaluations. By examining social media discourses about state violence, this article aims to contribute to a greater understanding of how political violence can be legitimized and delegitimized based on morality and emotions, which can help in developing ways to promote a culture of nonviolence. Keywords: Moral evaluation, Legitimation, Police violence, Twitter, Emotions, Colombia

    Colombian President Gustavo Petro, amid reports of Israelis shooting at Gazans as humanitarian aid was being distributed, said was personally responsible for the killings and was halting all arms purchases from Israel.

    4 months after the ongoing genocide, they act like they just found their conscious.

    Addis Ababa, African Union summit / Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva accused Israel Sunday of committing “genocide” against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip

    “What’s happening in the Gaza Strip isn’t a war, it’s a genocide,”
    “It’s not a war of soldiers against soldiers. It’s a war between a highly prepared army and women and children,”.
    Lula condemned Hamas’s 7 October attack on as a “terrorist” act but he has since grown vocally critical of Israel’s retaliatory military campaign.

    : "The comparison between Israel and the Nazi Holocaust and Hitler crosses a red line […] It trivializes the and attempts to hurt the Jewish people and Israel's right to defend itself."

    himself was accused of holocaust denialism when he suggested in the past the Palestinian National leader, Amin al-Husseini influenced the Germans toward the Final Solution.

    He’s also responsible for this buffoon (attached photo) seen at the Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas war at U.N. headquarters on October 30, 2023 in New York City.

    Yad Vashem chair Dani Dayan criticized his display, saying it “disgraces both Holocaust victims and the state of Israel” because Israel, unlike the Jews of the Holocaust, has the capacity to defend itself.

    [cont'd] Colombia's Gustavo Petro backs Lula da Silva on his statements about the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza

    Expressing his full solidarity, Gustavo Petro stressed that Lula da Silva is only telling the truth, stating that "this must be defended or barbarism will annihilate us."

    I express my full solidarity with President Lula of Brazil. In Gaza there is genocide and thousands of civilian children, women and the elderly are being cowardly murdered. Lula has only told the truth and the truth must be defended or barbarism will annihilate us.

    The entire region must unite so that... — Gustavo Petro (@petrogustavo) February 20, 2024

    In Colombia, rare bird flaunts male and female feathers https://phys.org/news/2024-01-colombia-rare-bird-flaunts-male.html

    "On the right side of its body, the #bird flaunted the typical blue plumage and black head of the male Green #Honeycreeper. On the left, it was a beautiful grass green... the specimen spotted in #Colombia was a rare example of bilateral #gynandromorphy — a condition in which one side of an animal exhibits male characteristics and the other female."
