Exactly. The Great Disavowal feels like watching the tide recede before a tsunami
What dam? Acknowledging a point of no return in a man-made famine that no one is going to stop is not breaking a dam. It’s preparing oneself for self-pity in the guise of concern.
This video of Berlin police brutalising anti-genocide protesters took place just outside the Checkpoint Charlie museum today. This is from the museum website:

Made a brief trip to Kyrgyzstan to attend a friend’s wedding.
lol Berlin police posted this video warning people from posting nasheeds or else they’ll raid your home. What. The. Fuck.
Journalists are struggling to stay alive as Israel imposes forced starvation on Palestinians in Gaza. Al Jazeera is urging urgent action to save their lives.
Images out of Gaza today are the worst I've ever seen. Children piled on a hospital floor, bloody, injured, dying, dead. A toddler with her intestines outside her body while another screams in terror, reaching out for safety. I can't express this feeling. The rage, the shame.
Please take a few minutes to read this dispatch from Alaa Alqaisi, a writer and a translator from Gaza. It's extraordinary. arablit.org/2025/07/21/ben…
The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU…

"There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled" Famine expert Alex de Waal on Israel deliberately starving an entire civilian population
Israel is starving Gaza to death, it’s widely reported in the Western press, and it doesn’t seem like the “civilized” world is doing fuck all about it
