Western countries will never be forgiven for their role in the deliberate and mass starvation of innocent children, in front of our eyes, in the year 2025. Genocide.

I cannot say this loudly enough: If you’re a US author still too afraid or careerist to talk publicly about Gaza—about what we, Americans, have done to Gaza—STFU about the rise of Trumpian fascism. Just stay quiet, write your little fictions, and wait till it’s safe to come out
A reminder, as this country eats itself: if you’ve been silent on Gaza for 22 months, your posts, op-eds, or novels about the fascist takeover of America are worthless. Nothing but safe, careerist, low-hanging fruit. The great moral test of our era is one you have already failed
