What about the below stats live from Ghaza? I think these Palestinian's twitter API quota has already been reached and went beyond any limit too. - 447 heavy rockets, - 374 air strike aggression, - 39 marine bombs, - 111 targeted homes, - 17 homes completely destroyed, - 95 homes partially destroyed, - 2 masjids attacked, - 1 hospital attacked, - 1 ambulance car attacked. I can understand war, I understand loss and f…

Please, I completely understand, and trust me our views on this issue aren't very different.

My goal is to disseminate breaking news and alerts as quickly and widely as possible, to whomever needs it.

What account is this that's hitting the limits? Or what application?

No app, just a simple feed that we post tweets to from various sources via API. Further details will be gladly discussed with @support staff.

Can you send me the twitter handle of the feed? My family lives in Hadera and the sirene didn't go off for the last strike. Would be good to follow this account as well.

I'm curious, is this service service equally available/relevant to civilians on both sides of the conflict, or only one? I don't ask to be judgmental, I recognize that politically/legally it may not even be possible to serve both sides. I just wondered if the automated nature of the service allows for it to be apolitical.

I prefer planning over firefighting...

We all do. But I think the time to fault them for not anticipating this is later. Right now, if the only thing you can contribute is, "They should have been better prepared," I don't see that as particularly helpful.

Why are you being secretive about the details? You may never hear back from Twitter support, but in hiding things you may miss ideas, opportunities and resources that HN users can provide to scale your feed in different ways.
