One of the dumbest things we are asked to believe about Israel's genocide in Gaza is that all these civilians are being butchered because the PALESTINIANS are evil and not the Israelis. That it's the VICTIMS doing evil things and not the perpetrators.
That's all this gibberish about "human shields" and "self-defense" is meant to do, you know. To make it look like the victims of siege warfare and carpet bombing are the ones responsible for all the death and destruction we are seeing and not the people who are actually doing it.
Can you think of anything more insulting to your intelligence? So self-evidently counter to common sense? They're seriously asking you to believe that the people who are being starved, shot and bombed to death are the perpetrators of their own genocide, and that the side which has attacked every hospital in Gaza are just the innocent bystanders responding to unprovoked acts of aggression in the most ethical and responsible way they can manage. Off the top of my head I really can't think of anything more absurd.
the crucial point is when Ben Affleck says: "We've killed more Muslims than they killed us by an awful lot, we've invaded their countries, but somehow that's not a reflection of who we really are." Exactly the same applies to Israel. Glenn also destroyed Bill Maher on this:
if Hamas, Hezbollah, or any group or person exploded electronic devices in Israel and killed children, it would be described by the entire Western media class as a horrific act of wanton evil sadistic terrorism. Israel does it and it's seen as an epic based move to be celebrated
@delivuhbaby@Carlosseerr@BlazesAccount I’m saying that from my experience doing backbends in pleasers but there was no need to be that aggressive lol. never said I couldn’t stomach it just that I didn’t like it
average chicagoan tweet: I live in a spacious apartment in a walkable hip neighborhood, surrounded with fun things to do and young people. my rent each month is a smile and a pat on the head. every winter I think fairly seriously about killing myself.
@Carlosseerr@BlazesAccount disagree, I think it was really dangerous to do that when morphine was in that backbend, she could have lost her balance and hit her head
UNRWA says that Israel tortured some of its employees "to make false statements against the Agency, including that the Agency has affiliations with Hamas and that UNRWA staff members took part in the 7 October 2023 atrocities.”

I love riding through the parts of the city where people hang out on their porches and in the street and spend time with their neighbors. I love how they're universally joyful to see a group of bikes roll by and how they'll make you feel like a champion just because you're there.
In Mississippi, women who are incarcerated are working at Popeye's for less than minimum wage and even being "hired" out TO INDIVIDUALS to do housework, yardwork, etc.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
