I don't wanna hear about your 9/11 anymore, man. It's been 9/11 everyday for people in the middle east for the past 20 years. Fuckin barbarians and murderers.
Imagine if Iran had murdered 160 little Israeli girls in the first hours of the war. It would have been the-worst-attack-on-Jews-since-the-Holocaust again. As it is, brown little girls and all, it's back page news.
It feels so surreal that the entire world is going up in flames, dozens being killed and several countries mobilising their forces. But I’m just supposed to prepare for Monday and act like all of this exists only on the internet?
“lsraelis are fleeing Tel Aviv.” Imagine if all the borders were shut and they were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. Since 1948.
People living in the Middle East are not some special species that becomes more immune to tragedy the more they experience it. They are humans who are suffering at levels that are almost inconceivable To believe otherwise is to justify your cold indifference
