Imagine you're the mother of this 7-month-old baby!
Your baby is murdered before your eyes, your husband is shot in the head. The shooter is roaming free & will never be held accountable
You can't file a police complaint, you can't go to court, b/c you're Palestinian! The entire Israeli system is rigged against you.
If you turn to the "free" & "civilized" world for help, at most they'll call on Israel to investigate itself. The IDF will close down the case as an accident at best, or they'll say you were using your baby as a "khuman shield".
If you take matters into your own hand, you'll be condemned instantly by that same "free" & "civilized" world as a terrorist. No investigation needed! You'll automatically get the death penalty that Israel applies only to non-Jews.
If you turn to the International Criminal Court, the US will bury you alive under sanctions.
If you speak up, yell & scream your lungs to heavens in futility, you'll be blacklisted as an antisemite.
The only thing you're allowed to do is sit & wait quietly for your turn...
Researching the life and work of composers Michiko Toyama and Alida Vazquez has been infuriating and so sad. Their composing career completely squandered by institutionalized racism and misogyny, with Ussachevsky and the rest of the male composers at the CPEMC gatekeeping access
My essay 'After Orthogonality,' the culmination of 4 years of work on virtue-ethics, rationality, AI, decision-theory, and praxis is out on @gradientpub
The disparity the โgeneral publicโ have for the value of a life is such a depressing confrontation. I know it well from living in โisrโ but seeing the valid outrage of the killing of 3 ppl here while not a trace of concern for the 73 killed there the same/every day will haunt me
Israel terrorist forces have just bombed a communal kitchen in Mawasi Khan Younis and killed the three brothers who managed it:
Osama Jumaa Shurrab
Mohammad Jumaa Shurrab
Ahmad Jumaa Shurrab
*a brother named Salem was killed in March 2024.
Israel has now intercepted at least 31 out of 44 Sumud Flotilla ships; all in broad daylight on camera for all to see!
Still no word from the "leaders of the free world"!
The average Gazan has never met a single person from the outside world in their lives; never been allowed to step a foot outside Gaza, not even to the West Bank; never seen a passenger plane, an airport, a ship, a mountain, snow, forests, rivers, or lakes... A human cage!
This is world full of shit that watches our families burned and dismembered every single and now watches our mothers and sisters sleep in the streets after the israeli terrorist forces bombed their houses.
Not tents, no shelters, no transportation, no blankets, mattresses, clothes.
Shit fucking shit.
Fucking 707 days and the world is watching a bunch of terrorist commit a war crime after a war crime.
We shall never forgive anyone whoโs complicit in this.
my piece 'Cheer up, finder' written for @Tai_Shani The Spell or the Dream is on Dream Radio only today, followed by a mix of works by Michiko Toyama, Halim El-Dabh, Tyshawn Sorey, and more. then gone into the etherโฆ or maybe not, but for now it is.
