I know eight minutes seems like a long time to pause when you're scrolling through Twitter or any other platform but - do pause here - and watch this insightful and revealing interview. It is worth your time.
The people sounding the alarm on genocide include:
Omer Bartov of Brown, a pre-eminent Israeli scholar of the Holocaust,
Marion Kaplan of NYU, 3-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award,
And a former UN official who spent 30 years monitoring human rights around the world.
In 1842,
Joshua Giddings of the Whig party was censured by congress for introducing an anti-slavery bill.
Tonight, Congress has censured congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for humanizing Palestinians
Posterity will remember
“I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words..
I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.”

It is incredible that those who refuse to call for Israel to stop killing Palestinian children, call for a peaceful demo to be stopped in London.
Because they find the march "offensive", but they don't find the killing of Palestinian infants offensive.
I don’t want to talk about anything else. I don’t want to do work. I don’t want to do chores or go to the gym or read a book. It reminds me of that feeling you get when a loved one is in intensive care: you feel every fucking second and your adrenaline won’t settle and you can’t sit still.
Innocent people are fucking dying because they wanted to live on the land their ancestors came from—their homeland. That’s their only sin. For merely existing where they’ve always existed, they’re being exterminated for land and money and power. In our fucking name. IN OUR FUCKING NAME.
If we tolerate this, the world is lost. Let this be the butterfly that flaps its wings and creates a storm that swallows the ruling order whole.
You saw..
Babies with their brains blown out.
Babies terrorized by nonstop air strikes.
Babies scorched by white phosphorus bombs.
Babies buried under the rubble.
Over 10,000 civilians now.
And you still didn’t act or care.
Maybe it’s you who is the animal.

I love the idea of people getting a warning saying 'leave now we are going to destroy your building to kill a Hamas commander' and then everyone gets out safely while the commander just sits in the building and waits.
And yet somehow this is repeated as being plausible by media?
