Israel killed more Palestinians in the week following October 7 than Hamas has killed Israelis in its entire existence.
“Hamas can have no role in post-war Gaza because of the horrific crimes they committed on Oct 7 but Israel killing 20,000 kids, starving 100,000s, and raping their captives somehow doesnt morally disqualify them as having a post-war role I am a liberal this is a serious position”
starvation is an easier thing to condemn because it lends itself easily to obfuscation about Israel being the cause of Palestinian death. It's like the atrocity version of the passive voice headlines. Where were these people in 2 years of sniping babies and incinerating families
I just saw a video from inside that American Airlines flight during evacuation (due to a fire)… people started grabbing their carry ons and NOT MOVING while the flight attendants screamed at them to leave their stuff behind and go. My anxiety is through the roof
We are tired, our bodies are exhausted from starvation. We sleep hungry and afraid of the bombing. gofund.me/58eca5e0 Please stop the war and the famine. We are human beings, we have rights and feelings. Please don't forget that. Please help us, we are suffering greatly.
New: After Gaza aid flotilla volunteer & US citizen Christian Smalls was taken into Israeli custody, seven uniformed individuals beat him, choking him & kicking him in the legs, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. Smalls is co-founder of the Amazon Labor Union.
The campaigns led by Israelis in denial of the hunger and the genocide are some of the most reprehensible and odious I have ever seen. The images of complete and utter destruction from Beit Hanoun are inhuman. The Israeli genocide is one of the worst in recorderd history, and its…
how is it "performative" to get on a boat with food, medicine and essential supplies to break a genocidal siege, knowing you might be killed by occupation forces and certainly will face abuse and mistreatment in detention do words mean anything anymore
Mondays are for pretending. Real work begins on Tuesday
One of the very first hadith I learned. My (extremely low income) Turkish neighbours used to leave food outside my door every day because they heard I was struggling to pay rent
Here's what I said when the commentariat decided Iraq was bad, which, of course, applies once again:

All these mf’s like “We can no longer keep silent…” Y’all think that genocidal bs you kept repeating about an occupying power’s “right to defend itself” against the people they occupy was silent???
and he did this amid calls not to participate or accept the honourary degree from PACBI and its partners in Britain and Ireland mind you
#Trevorphillips: "The point I'm really just making is, isn't it a bit unfair to say this is the Israelis as a whole" Bob Geldof: "Stop it Trevor.. if Israelis want to protest.. stuff your cars full of food & drive through that border & let your own army stop you.. shame on you"
We haven't eaten for 10 days 😭 We haven't eaten for 10 days 😭 We haven't eaten for 10 days 😭 Do not be our opponents on the Day of Resurrection. Publish, share, comment and donate. Our Lord, you will save me from this famine. gofund.me/547e1670
what has to happen to someone in life for them to be analyzing images of people to say they don’t look emaciated enough to be facing starvation. Like how do you get there
this depraved bonehead is a historian
Yes, I’m suspicious when I see images of well-nourished parents holding their apparently starving children. It’s not being heartless, it’s just not being brainless.
An appeal to folks on this platform…pls consider supporting grassroots mutual aid work regularly in Palestine, Congo and Sudan. I recommend @congofriends and @sameerproject and @sdnsolidarity but there are so many others too! $10 a month goes a long way. Bcm a monthly donor.
