a lot of people could stand to start viewing the nakba and the holocaust as a continuum rather than as competitive binaries

man i fucking hate israel i hate seeing my friends panicking about being bombed in their sleep again i hate seeing them panic about the famine i hate seeing their terror at living through the war again. i hate israel and every state, every leader, every nation and every person that has colluded with its uncontained cruelty towards the palestinian, lebanese and syrian people. including my own
ceasefire today, accountability from tomorrow until the end of time. all my love to the steadfast people and martyrs of gaza
in common israeli behavior, as phase I of the ceasefire expires today israel attempts to sabotage the ceasefire again to avoid accountability.
they have violated the conditions for phase I and are refusing to move to phase II by announcing a war crime instead: resuming the starvation siege and preventing international aid from entering gaza during ramadan. this is all par for the course. israel has never met an agreement it wouldn’t break, nor missed an opportunity to inflict more suffering. accountability will come regardless, but now is the time to be alert, especially as western media tries to obfuscate the reasons for the ceasefire violations.
tonight at 3 am israel unilaterally ended the ceasefire and resumed the genocide in gaza, killing at least 45 people so far including dozens of children. for two weeks it had already been starving gazans in ramadan and preventing aid, food and fuel from getting in. accountability is a very long game. the more violent they get, the longer they put it off, the more the world will continue to pay.
i’ve been saying this for two years, but it doesn’t hurt to say it again: the short term of this is ugly. there’s no short-term solution. things are going to get more violent. but the long-term is already lost to them. all we have to do is stay the course, and don’t let them intimidate you into silence or exhaust you with the sheer scale of the violence. these are the tactics of a bully nation led by a bully sponsor, and the world has seen all of them fall before
Mazen is a 4-year-old boy who urgently requires medical attention outside Gaza. Mazen got hurt by a bullet in his left foot. The baby is not doing well physically or emotionally.Mazen’s dad told me how difficult it can be to calm him down when a helicopter flies over their tent or hear any loud sound and he been struggling with his sleep and his appetite is not getting back please don’t ignore this read it again and please know that your donation is the best way to help .
