I am proposing the following as replacements for "third world," "developing countries," and "global South" :

"Countries fucked by colonization"
"Regions we bomb non stop"
"Countries white missionaries think they have to save"
"Countries that we don't allow to grow"

The ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Gaza:

1. That Israel had no idea what Hamas was up to prior to October 7, but ever since October 7 has known about every hospital, mosque, school, refugee camp and water tower that Hamas is hiding in.

2. That the blame for all of the deaths caused by Israeli weapons launched by Israel rests solely on Hamas.

3. That Hamas is using “human shields” — meaning Hamas bases are hidden amidst civilian populations — yet Israel is managing to kill thousands of civilians without doing any meaningful damage to Hamas.

4. That it would be perfectly fine to murder children by the thousands even if they were being used as “human shields” — as though resolving a hostage situation by mowing down thousands of child hostages would be regarded as reasonable and acceptable by the public if it happened in our own country.

5. That is is only by pure coincidence that Israel bombing “Hamas targets” in civilian infrastructure and residential buildings just so happens to look exactly the same as what you’d expect to see if Israel was simply bombing civilian infrastructure and residential buildings and lying about its reasons for doing so.

6. That satellite images of entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble in Gaza have been caused by “precision strikes” directed solely at Hamas and have been carried out with the greatest of care for human life, despite Israeli officials openly saying that “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy” in this assault and that “Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents; there will be no buildings.”

7. That this bombing campaign has anything to do with freeing Israeli hostages — as though the bombing campaign itself has not killed dozens of hostages, and as though anyone believes Israel would stop bombing Gaza after the hostages are returned.

8. That the only reason anyone could possibly oppose the detonation of thousands of bombs on an open air prison full of children would be if they had very strong and hateful opinions toward the members of the religion of Judaism.

9. That Hamas attacked Israel entirely out of the blue and completely unprovoked, solely because they are evil and hate Jews.

10. That Washington is powerless to stop this genocide that it is directly funding and supplying.

Question for Zionists: if Hamas was hiding in Israel would it be okay to bomb Israeli schools and hospitals ?

[Jackson Hinkle 🇺🇸 @jacksonhinkle]

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Bombing hospitals seems to be a longtime hobby of the Israeli military.

Every interview, every article & every quote that is some variation of “Ukraines don’t deserve this b/c this isn’t Africa/Middle East”, is a glaring reminder that some of you truly believe that Black/Brown people naturally deserve war, famine, & violence. No one deserves that.

I mean might as well be a paranoid brown girl with a house rather than a paranoid brown girl paying $2k a month for one bedroom. You know?

I moved to Dallas for 5 months. Discovered a great community, a beautiful city, & affordable homes. I was too afraid to move permanently bc "America." But as I'm literally watching a white supremacist parade go on for 3 WEEKS, it's hard to spot any difference. Peace ✌🏼

What the government calls water on the Little Red River Indian Reservation. To hell with colonization — and its ostensible “greatness.”
