Numbers don't lie. We aren't just numbers.
at this point I've seen this being mentioned quite a few times.
That the reason Israel gets to do everything they do is because they're a jewish state so they can always claim the victim card.
And I feel like that is misleading. Like yes the Israeli state does use that excuse, but in the end it's really just propaganda.
The real reason Israel gets to do what it does is that it's beneficial to the west. Western countries have done all the same things.
It's not a product of Israel being given too long a leash. Because I can pretty much guarantee that this was the intent from the start.
It doesn't feed into some grand conspiracy that jews control the world. Because, well. They don't, at all.
The second Israel isn't beneficial to the west, and especially the US, then Israel is done for.
Like don't let yourself get hooked into anti-semetic talking points just because you hate Israel and want the palestinian people to live. Keep to the facts remember your love for people, and remember that many many jews across the globe and even in Israel oppose the regime. Remember that the world doesn't suddenly love jews. It's just been given an excuse to openly annihilate another group they hate, which in this case are the arabs.
We all have to be motivated by love rather than hate, it's the only way this whole situation can be anything but pure loss. It's the only way we can keep any humanity
you haven't changed, you just think you have
The International Court of Justice told Israel to immediately halt its attack on Rafah. So Israel decided to bomb a UN tent camp.
We are witnessing beheaded children being pulled out of a a sea of burning tents. We are witnessing the bombing of displaced people in a humanitarian area.
I didn’t think we could see anything more brutal than the things we’ve seen in the last eight months. But tonight’s massacre in Rafah is unspeakable. There are truly no words left.
If you cannot stop the injustice, please, at least speak up about it.
I have something very inappropriate to say about this man.

Leia killing Jabba and ending the cycle of abuse that got her grandmother and father abused directly paralleling Anakin killing Palatine at the end of the movie, thus ending the cycle of abuse there too, with Luke not doing anything violent like either of them and instead ending the cycle by putting down his blade and trusting in the good of his father (just like Padme did).
This is a picture of Montaser Al Sawaf, another Palestinian journalist killed by the IOF:
I am continually enraged by the normalization of Palestinian people's deaths in mainstream western media, and the constant dehumanization of each of their lives. They are not just numbers -they are people who have dreams, ambitions, livelihoods, families, friends, hobbies, and interests.
The IOF is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, is breaking dozens of international laws and UN Conventions -is committing mass genocide -but a small fraction of people in power get to determine the narrative of 'who is the REAL victim here,' by reinforcing IOF and American propaganda which sides with settler-colonial violence -and it is beyond abhorrent.
take a second to take it in..
and we didn't get a cease fire.
