BREAKING: 🚨 Over 100 BBC staff have signed a letter declaring they're being FORCED to do PR for Israel.
This is one of biggest scandals of Western journalism of our time.
Fuck the @BBC, you will be remembered as participants in genocide.
I actually can't believe a group of people who are currently executing starving men, women & children as they queue for flour is demanding our sympathy on the internet.
Nobody wants a war with the United States. No country is a threat to US citizens. The United States is the threat to everyone else, lying about threats to their security as justification to kill more people.
Today, the world rejoiced.
It rejoiced as though justice had emerged radiant from a tomb. A single man, young, smiling, full of breath, walked free. And the world clapped, like a courtroom claps when a nobleman is acquitted of crime while peasants rot in the yard.
They said, “A hostage is free!”
And no one asked: But what of the others?
I am not against the boy’s freedom. No, no, God forbid. let every captive return to his mother. Let every hostage see the sky. Let every soul be spared the torment of being unseen.
But I ask, how is it that you remembered him, and not the 2.3 million? How is it that a machine of negotiation turned its wheels so quickly, and yet Gaza burns without pause? How is it that a ceasefire was not required? That the killing never stopped? That the fire kept falling, even as the cameras clicked and the handshake was sealed?
They have proven something unspeakable: They can release a hostage without peace. They can save a life without mercy. They can act, but they choose not to.
You speak of geopolitics, of mediation, of security. I say: you have created a world in which a child must die for a government to feel strong. You have forged a morality where grief is measured by borders. You have trained humanity to recognize suffering only when it serves a flag.
The world watched a hostage return home, and called it humanity.
But it was selection.
It was a declaration: this life matters. These others, do not.
Let us not be fooled.
Gaza is a prison, yes, but not of war. Of will. A prison of choice.
A sentence written not by the guilty, but by those who stand aside.
The guards are diplomats. The locks are embargoes. The silence is the verdict.
And I, I who believe in the redemption of men, I say this as an indictment:
You have placed human life on a scale, and decided whose breath is worth your politics. You have the power to end the fire. To open the gates.
And you keep your hand at your side, because our death is easier to digest than our existence.
They say, “All hostages must be freed.”
Then let it be true.
Let it include the man in the rubble.
Let it include the girl dying of infection in a collapsed hospital.
Let it include the mother who no longer counts her children, but her losses.
Do not call yourselves civilized while Gaza screams unheard.
Freedom for one proves your strength.
But the continued slaughter proves your soul.
#GazaGenocide
Undermining Syrian joy to smugly make your arguments about the cynical future of Syria, is also pretty imperialistic. Not everything is an op-ed that needs to be written imminently. Let them feel free. If they’re not, help and fight for them after, without the condescension.
What do you mean tens of thousands would be free from torture dungeons in #Syria?
Why are millions returning home to Syria after being forcibly evacuated?
How dare they become “Syrians” and not “Syrian refugees” anymore?
How could they choose who rules the country without asking me: The westerner who has known nothing but living peacefully without being tortured or murdered for disagreeing with the government!
But what about my geopolitical insights on the area and what follows after overthrowing Assad?
My ideal political point of view is now ruined because Syrians believe they are humans who deserve to live freely with dignity and the right to decide their own future.
But I matter and no one else does!
That’s how yall sound to me really.
F*ck the occupation
F*ck Assad
F*ck all forms of injustice
And f*ck you as well.
