The first step in generating consent to war and genocide is to dehumanise a population. Israelis did it with Palestinians, Americans did it with Afghans and Iraqis and now they are trying to portray Yemenis as no good druggies so no one feels bad when they massacre them
Last year I saw a video of a Palestinian father frantically carrying the dismembered remains of his child’s body in a plastic shopping bag, desperately trying to get them to a hospital
He just keeps digging his hole. And lying too - he literally spoke out repeatedly for Ukraine and went to Ukraine.
But Gaza apparently, nope, that’s too political and bad for ‘families’. Hypocrite.
October 7th is linked to “centuries of Jewish pain” really? It’s not linked to over 70 years of the brutal occupation of Palestinian people???
Your handlers who wrote this can go to h*ll and so can you for reading it. @edsheeran
- reads from teleprompter
- immediately starts with October 7th
- still won’t call it a genocide
- says he doesn’t know enough about what’s happening
- makes no apology to Macklemore or addresses dropping him from the tour
- doesn’t mention where his donation will be going to
- doesn’t encourage anyone to donate
- won’t say Israel is the reason Gaza is suffering
- won’t say free Palestine
- only cries when he sees people showed up to the concert because that’s what he cares more about.
Fuck him.
10/10 parenting. I will die on the hill that supporting young adults and staying right there with them as they climb into adulthood is one of the most important things you will ever, ever do as a parent.
"The children will grow up".
This was also the argument that Nazi officials gave, during the Nuremberg Trials, to justify why they had killed children during the Holocaust.
Ms. Rachel announces she’s matching Macklemore’s $1 million donation in support of Palestine:
“I will match Macklemore's donation and I invite every wealthy white celebrity to match it and speak out against the genocide in Gaza.
Over 20,000 precious Palestinian children have been killed and children continue to be killed every day.
We have a moral obligation to use our privilege and platforms to protect children and human rights.”
