If one needs people starving to death, scheletric, or burned alive to call it genocide, there we are.
But wait. Does one also need for the victims to be a specific number, like 6 million or close to it, to call it genocide? That would be over two times Gaza's population and equivalent to all Palestinians under Israeli rule. Is this what States are waiting for to stop Israel?
🔴Supplying weapons to a state accused of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity violates int'l law — and fuels further atrocities.
🔴Today the clearest path to Israel’s legitimate self-defense is to stop arming it.
I was wondering why @RitchieTorres had yet to try to make his voice heard. Yes, @RitchieTorres: I stand by my statement that antisemitism was not the primary drive behind the October 7 attacks, an argument supported by many authoritative voices, including Jewish scholars who may not be included in the talking points you receive. See here: https://t.co/fP0tcJPV8w
Even an illiterate person would recognize that this is not whitewashing the events of October 7, especially since I have repeatedly condemned all crimes committed against Israeli civilians and called for justice for all victims, and the release of all hostages (i.e. both Israelis and Palestinians).
See you at the event at the New School then- or elsewhere (I will publish the list of my public engagements in the US soon).
Powerful interview, with an uncharacteristically emotional Jeremy Scahill. But how can one not be emotional at this point. Nothing justifies the butchering of children day after day, weeks and months. I am also profoundly disturbed and disgusted by what we have become.
In Gaza, the collective shame of the century continues unabated and unstopped, in defiance of every norm of international law and morale. The Palestinians, exhausted by relentless attacks on their bodies and souls are abandoned to their tormentors. Shocking images of summary executions, mass forced displacements, and other egregious abuses strike us, leaving us stunned and bewildered, unable to comprehend that what is happening in Gaza is truly real. What a disgraceful testament to our global failure to protect basic human rights . The United Nations, once a believed beacon of hope and a force for peace, are crumbling under the weight of this shame - and the pressure of the inaction or complicity of its most powerful member states.
This was allowed to happen because the US refused to put a stop to this genocide. The US instead enabled it & the Biden-Harris administration should be held directly responsible. A vote for Harris is a vote supporting THIS evil currently happening in the world.
#HolocaustHarris
I'll never forget or forgive the fake progressives that capitulated to Biden with the bogus lie of a lesser evil. They parrot the lesser evil propaganda every 4 years. There is no greater evil than this and the Democrats allowed, enabled and directly support it. #HolocaustHarris
I don't know about you but for me, my red line is a long ways before the literal burning of human beings alive.
Ain't nothing you can do or say to convince me that voting for the person doing this to other human beings is justified in any way.
#HolocaustHarris is EVIL.
This is what the world will remember the administration of ‘Genocide Joe’ Biden and Kamala ‘Holocaust Harris’ for.
A Holocaust perpetrated by a fascist ethno-state, that they backed and armed to the hilt.
No amount of horror could convince them to stop this barbarism.
