I don’t know if this news matters to anyone in this world, but just a little while ago, a 6 year old child was killed while trying to collect firewood for his family to prepare food. The child was not carrying a weapon, not carrying a bomb, not carrying anything at all. He was completely visible in front of the soldier who killed him. His only “crime” was collecting firewood.
Do you realize this? This is a child, innocent, posing no threat, and yet he was killed as if his life meant nothing. Killing has become easy, and innocence no longer protects anyone here. I saw his father in video clips, and I swear to you, he began to lose his mind; he could not bear the loss of his only child.
Not a single day passes without more martyrs. Everything they call a “ceasefire” is just a trick for the world. Do not stay silent. Write, share, tell the world what is happening here.
I’ve experienced the IDF firsthand, so I won’t soften this: they are far worse than ICE. But anyone paying attention can see the trajectory. ICE is being molded in their image.
This is the IDF’s playbook. Arrest begins with humiliation. You’re blindfolded and restrained immediately. You’re beaten, spat on, stripped, mocked for sport. If you’re “lucky,” you’re thrown into a cell instead of killed during the arrest. No bathroom. No privacy. No dignity. No humanity. You sit there not knowing if your family is safe or if they even know where you are.
For years, Palestinians have warned the world: mobilize early, because what’s tested on us never stays with us. That warning wasn’t symbolic. You’re watching it arrive here in real time, in 4K. License plate surveillance. Drones overhead. Detention based on how you look. Different uniforms, same logic.
It’s all connected and it always was.
slaveowners would eat delicious meals prepared by the people they enslaved and then get up, get drunk, and beat/rape them for shits and giggles or sell their children on New Year’s Day. that’s how come so many of the fuckers ended up poisoned.
Renee Nicole Good is the second person who has been killed by ICE this week. In LA, ICE killed Keith Porter in his own home as he celebrated on New Year’s Eve.
The Last Unicorn (1982) leaves a different kind of scar. It isn’t fear driven, it’s the weight of loneliness and time passing. A children’s fantasy that introduces the idea of loss as something permanent, not fixable.
My new year resolution is the opposite of cutting people off. Instead, I want to make a million friends, experience life and make genuine connections. I want my phone to constantly ring because friends want to hangout with me or talk to me.
The same methods once used by Nazis against Jews….mass detention, humiliation and torture in camps are now being inflicted on Palestinians, while invoking Jęwish trauma as justification. That is a moral collapse.
what Israel is doing to Gaza’s civilians, the families, the parents, the children, the elderly, by not allowing caravans to enter and for reconstruction to begin, and by forcing people to remain displaced in tents during a harsh winter, exposed around the clock to the elements, is unbearable. children are dying of hypothermia. families are dying because their bombed homes are collapsing on them. people are freezing at night as their tents flood.
imagine living in a tent for years. it rains then floods while you and your children are inside. then the wind hits. you have nowhere to go and nowhere to find warmth. your belongings, your papers, what remains of your food, electronics, your money, and your clothes, everything is submerged. you spend the night cold and wet.
this is slow death. this is extreme cruelty. this is murder by a thousand wounds. first through large scale bombardment and incineration, then through starvation and displacement, and now by exposing people to the elements and denying them the basic human right of shelter...
necropolitics calls this the ‘slow death’: the deliberate production of soullessness and disposability. Lives are worn through denial of care, exposure to harm, bureaucratic delay, and normalized neglect. Survival becomes conditional and unevenly distributed. Death is witnessed not as an event, but insidious as a timely process.
slow death is preferred by today’s colonial powers over the fast death because it is more governable, less visible, and more politically sustainable.
the choice is strategic capital growth rather than incidental
Massacres are now just “updates.” Displacement is a statistic. When atrocities stop shocking the world and start blending into the news cycle, the killers have already won, not just by taking lives, but by numbing our conscience and killing urgency.
i don’t think you lot understand that anti-zionism means the complete dissolution of israel, any mention of israel in a positive or normal context especially amidst a genocide it is actively committing constitutes as zionism.
