Gaza was livestreamed.
That sentence should have ended the world as we know it.
A genocide, documented in real time, filmed by its victims, uploaded from phones in rubble, available to anyone on Earth with an internet connection, watched by hundreds of millions of people while it was happening.
And the governments of the world's self-described democracies continued to supply the weapons.
And the platforms continued to suppress the content.
And the people continued to scroll.
And the weapons continued to arrive.
We live in the first era of human history where it is possible to watch, in real time, the killing of a people, to see their faces, to hear their voices, to watch the moment the building falls, and for all that visibility to produce almost nothing.
Almost nothing.
No Nuremberg.
No intervention.
Hashtags. Protests that were permitted and then ignored. A ceasefire resolution vetoed. More weapons authorized.
If visibility alone could stop power, Gaza would have stopped it.
It didn't.
Which means we need to stop telling ourselves that awareness is the same as action.
That sharing is the same as solidarity.
That witnessing, even anguished witnessing, even enraged witnessing, is, by itself, a political act.
It is not.
The empire has made peace with being watched.
It has made peace with your outrage.
It factored your outrage into the plan.
And then it dropped the bomb anyway.
Nothing the people and media in isreal can say to erase the crime of #genocide and #EthnicCleansing that they have subjected on the Palestinians! Israelis are the most evil people on earth now!
هذا الرجل كان يمشي وصادف مسيرة شعبية من أجل فلسطين فصرخ من قلبه وعاطفته وحياهم وتضامن معهم وشجعهم وهو متأثر يكاد يبكي من الفرح!
هذه فلسطين التي تجمع العالم ❤️

AIPAC CELEBRATES Section 219 ADVANCING TO SENATE

Citing COUNTERINTELLIGENCE CONCERNS over Israeli tech integrating into SENSITIVE US NETWORKS
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK
Retired Army Colonel Larry Wilkerson says the successful passage of Section 219 inside the NDAA could start a civil war because the majority of Americans are absolutely sick of Israel.
He says Mike Johnson, Mitch McConnell, John Thune, Hakeem Jeffries are all treasonous traitors.
"We're looking at a Congress that is betraying the United States of America in a significant way in regards to National Security."
BREAKING: $95 billion on the floor at 4pm today.

Tucker Carlson Says House Vote to Merge U.S. Military With IDF Is a HUMILIATION Ritual
A $1.5 TRILLION military just handed itself to a foreign reserve force, and the men who voted for it call themselves America First.
It took less than two years back in office for Donald Trump to destroy his political career. He has very quickly become the worst President in American history.
