No people or state has a right, divine or otherwise, to slaughter, dispossess, and erase another. And it’s incredible the rage and accusations of hate that comes with stating such a banal truth.

Iraq was invaded on the basis of false intel that they had weapons of destruction, they didn't. japan was close to surrender and instead of demonstrating a nuclear bomb on empty land, america chose to use it on civilian cities. vietnam still suffers from agent orange exposure-

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Incontrovertible evidence is now in. Israel instructs Palestinian civilians to go to particular spots where it then bombs them. Israel has chosen war criminality and it pursues it relentlessly. Equally relentless must be the rest of the world in the pursuit of Israel's leaders

[Abu Omar @TalaatSYehia]

2 minutes of horror. Pure fucking horror. The drones created an invisible line of death separating children from their families. What trauma these people will carry for the rest of their lives if they survive this atrocity is unimaginable.

Genocide is a bipartisan project of the US ruling class.

[Momodou ✊🏿 @MomodouTaal]

The horrific images right now are a reminder that we cannot live in a world with Zionism. It’s insatiable bloodlust will rather burn the whole world to the ground that recognise the humanity of the Palestinians. One day this will end and we will ensure that every bastard that enabled it is taken to account.

They are preparing us for a slaughter. Yes, yes, they are. With words, with numbers, with lies stitched into the flags of nations and the titles of news. One need only watch closely, and the design reveals itself: before the blood, always the speech. Before the fire, the formula. Before the corpse, the justification.

There is no longer shock, only pattern. And what is pattern but the silent consent of those who have seen evil before and shrugged?

Now again, the cannons murmur from behind veils of language. “A ground invasion,” they whisper, “security,” “zones,” “necessary force.” Ah! The vocabulary of murder has become so refined, so terribly eloquent. But I know this tongue. I have heard it in the confessions of men who struck without hatred, only with duty. This is the tongue of systemic sin, when man no longer needs rage to kill, only permission.

They have spoken of Gaza. No, not spoken, calculated. That’s the word. They have calculated Gaza. Two million souls reduced to a coordinate, a corridor, a containment. They speak now not of justice, nor of mercy, but of calories. They say: “1,700 a day will suffice.” You see? Even famine has now a bureaucracy. Even hunger now must wear a badge and answer to a committee.

And the world? The world listens, nods, debates, adjusts its glasses. Ah, but the children, they do not debate. They merely waste away. The skin stretches tighter across their ribs. The light fades quietly from their eyes. They do not die as soldiers, nor even as martyrs. They die as obstacles, gently removed from someone else’s plan.

And still, the powerful claim: “We act because they will not yield.” But who is “they”? I ask you, who rules from beneath the rubble? Who governs from a tent? Who leads from the grave? The men in suits and titles will survive. They always do. It is the shoemaker, the widow, the feverish infant, who will be buried. And buried not for defiance, but for existing.

I have seen prisons, revolutions, the gallows, the trembling hand of a man sentenced to die. I have seen madness dressed in uniforms and love crushed beneath boots. But what descends upon Gaza, this is not madness. No. It is a coldness, a lucidity so perfect that it freezes the soul. It is not rage, it is procedure. It is not murder, it is policy.

They do not even pretend to believe in God anymore. They believe in management. In control. In metrics and messaging. But not in man.

So I say this, to whomever still believes in the soul: Watch Gaza. Not as a spectator. Not as a journalist or diplomat or cynic. Watch it as one watches Golgotha. Watch it as one watches the last flicker of humanity held under water.

For what is coming, yes, what is coming, is not war. It is a mirror.

And God help us if we cannot bear to look.

[dj franzia @hawillisdc]

a recession is *the point.* destroying healthcare and letting viruses proliferate is the point. gutting education to easily control a impoverished, dumb and sick population that relies on ai and highly censored news sources is the point. jailing/killing opposition is the point.

this is terrifying. she was detained for writing an op ed about BDS. an op ed. students are being kidnapped over this. this started at columbia and it will keep happening if we don’t stop it.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

There is no easy way to talk about this. This week the UN announced we are on track to reach up to 3.1° Celsius of warming. We are slated to blow past the goals of the Paris Accords. Here's what this means. (1/9) 🧵

This is a huge scandal.
USAID & State Department refugee bureau both said Israel blocked aid to Gaza. But Blinken told Congress the opposite, so they wouldn't have to heed US law that'd force cutting off weapons to Israel.
As in, the Biden-Harris admin is complicit in war crimes.

Watching genocide be normalized in real time for a US election — and it becomes apparent why the trans-Atlantic slave trade, indigenous dispossession and genocide, the Holocaust, ethnic cleansing, segregation, & apartheid are(/is) supported + maintained for so long.
