I was quoted at the ICJ. Gratefully for having our voices aplified. "I want you to look in the mirror and ask: where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide?"
The President of South Korea said a video of the IOF tossing a Palestinian child off of a roof reminded him of Japanese crimes against Koreans during colonialism and the Holocaust
israel says this “trivializes” the Holocaust. As if Koreans and Palestinians are inherently cheaper
“lsraelis are fleeing Tel Aviv.” Imagine if all the borders were shut and they were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. Since 1948.
She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

This is where my mom was born. It’s not called Tel Aviv. It’s called yaffa. My grandfather had a coffee shop, a home, land and a bakery. All taken by settlers.
Update: the Palestinian who was gangraped by the IDF has been taken back to the Sde Teiman concentation camp.
He was hospitalized with a “a ruptured bowel, a severe injury to his anus, lung damage and broken ribs” according to Israeli media.
The West condones this.
Tweets about Palestine no longer go viral. The genocide is no longer trending. Back to business as usual. The normalization of our people’s slaughter is sweeping across the West, whose leaders provide the nails being driven into the hearts of our children.
