Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than your feelings. Your feelings don’t matter. Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than playing along with the persecution-LARPing of Zionist university students.
With my brain and heart on fire with anger, I can’t access the words I need. So very, very thankful you are here. Just want you to know what an incredible service you provide. ❤️❤️❤️
Stopping the slaughter is currently the most important thing that needs to happen. I think it is also important to try to make sure we are eating well and trying to sleep so that we can continue going to demos, writing letters, talking to other people who have not quite got it yet (it would seem). We can't do much about anything at all if we are physically incapacitated. As I say that, I think about the people in Gaza who do not have that choice. More than anything that is going on right now, I want them to have that choice.
I was going to comment that this article is brilliant, but it’s actually just rational and humane. The issue is that we are bombarded with irrationality and inhumanity by our politicians and media.
The israeli Genocide Force, handcuffed and shot children. How could anyone survive an act like that. Dr., Nurses handcuffed and shot. Anyone handcuffed and shot is a war crime. AOC speaking at Columbia in support of students and mins later posing for pictures with Genocide Joe supporting his re-election. We are mentally ill allowing this to go on. Vote NO on Genocide Joe! Free Palestine!
Sadly, Israel is the mad dog let off its American leash to brutalize and normalize wanton murder and war crimes in the name of religious doctrine - and in the name of revenge. The third, fourth, fifth orders of effect be damned. Underlying all the blood and brutality is the slow release of the odious toxicity called genocide. We are somehow left to watch, almost powerless in the face of our supposed democracies, committing heinous crimes against humanity - in our fucking name. These entrenched power structures have to be crushed by us the people. They are clearly sick beyond redemption and we have to reclaim our humanity back from these American and Israeli ghouls. Otherwise, where does it stop?
I thank you for this post. I wrote my own post on this same topic two days ago. So glad to see there are other writers here who are screaming for change now.
Let’s be very clear about this - Zionists feelings are not more important than just Palestinian lives, they are more important than ALL other lives. Their collective brains have broke since that myth has shattered over the last six months. And their unhinged reaction is a testament to their new reality. Welcome to the real world, Zs.
Thank you! No one should feel comfortable with the genocide in Gaza, with settlers killing and menacing Palestinians in the West Bank, with Palestinians in Israeli prisons being tortured and raped. Everyone should be very uncomfortable with all these injustices. Stop this genocide now is what everyone should be clamoring.
"Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than making sure Joe Biden maintains enough support to win re-election."
Amen and amen! How anything could be less important than "Genocide Joe" staying in office is impossible to fathom. Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than EVERYTHING a racist-zionist can think of. Everything.
"People’s feelings should be uncomfortable when a genocide is happening."
Exactly. No one should be feeling "comfortable" when a large portion of humanity is suffering and dying horrible deaths due to the pure selfishness of warmongering capitalists. Get over yourself and do something positive like bringing this genocide to an end. Today.
Sadly there are many people entirely comfortable with it. A sign of declining society, indoctrination, money? Your fight may see few battlefield victories but hopefully it will help change in time something that is fundamentally wrong with many of us.
So critical is stopping the slaughter in Gaza that woke politics has bastardised our humanity and elevated self-interest and the bullshit cowardly veil of personal safety than what it means to be selfless.
Caitlin, I have become a full-bore conservative since 2021, but Gaza is the one issue where I don't align with *some of them*. And there are others like me.
"None of us should be feeling comfortable with any of this." Caitlin
The really frightening fact of the matter is that so many leaders, particularly the White Christians are unhappy with the fact that it is taking Israel so long to level every home in Palestine and kill every Palestinian who has survived the genocide to date. Right Chancellor, Prime Minister/s?
We all know who they are . Our indelible task is to send the “evil devils” of our time (Netanyahu, Biden, von Der Leyen, Scholz, Macron, Zelensky,) and all the others in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada) as well as the self-proclaimed architects of ‘humanitarian war” and the “free market”, down to where they rightfully belong and it really needs to come soon enough for this world to survive.
While a practising Christian, a Roman Catholic named Biden, sends multi billions of both money and armaments again this week to Israel for the further murder of Palestinians, you have to question the values of any Christian teaching over time that allows these crimes to occur.
Yes, while Christians can be part of such a crime, without penalty, it makes all those teachings, all those words of guidance for leading a good life, something of a pathetic joke.
So remember this, voters of America, this man Biden is one of two people out of 330 million citizens who will again take control of your country again in November, just seven months away.
In the meantime he continues his evil ways unchallenged by his church.
Now is that hypocrisy
"Thou shall not kill" ....yes, even in the Jewish Torah as well. Very prominently.
However, if one bases this on the interpretation by Jews, under the direction of Netanyahu, (with Biden at his back, of course), it also means 'thou shall not kill........ after you have finally killed every Palestinian, stolen all the land called Palestine, redeveloped all the land to be occupied by Jews only, extracted and sold off contracts to produce all the oil and gas from Palestinian gas fields and when you finally control all the politicians in the USA', not just 86%.'

Woke left: words are violence and I need a safe space.
Pro Israel right: words are violence and I need a safe space.
Me: sure…lol.
We all have the right to speak freely, and to be freely offended as well.

My heart aches when I see videos of young kids in Gaza either crying for their dead parents or injured.

Compare "This sign makes me feel unsafe!" with the bombs targeted at Palestinians which actually make them unsafe

You are absolutely right on this.

Not long to go now.
