I don’t think anyone will ever be able to fully comprehend the extent of intergenerational trauma that is being created right now as we speak. This will be a stain on the history of humanity forever.
seeing posts like this from Palestinians is so unsettling.
they are exhausting their energy trying to get the world to listen, even if it means turning their own suffering into something the algorithm will notice.
the silence of the rest of the world is unbearably deafening.
I don’t think you understand how catastrophic the oil refinery bombing in Tehran is.
Burning petroleum releases sulfur and nitrogen oxides that mix with rain to form sulfuric and nitric acid, essentially turning rainfall toxic.
When Saddam burned Kuwaiti oil wells in 1991, the fallout contributed to what became known as Gulf War Syndrome, with veterans developing chronic illness and cancer decades later.
The difference now: this isn’t a desert battlefield, it’s a city of 10 million people, most of which women and children.
💢 “Black rain” and “nuclear winter” effect reported in Tehran after Israeli strikes on oil facilities
▪️ Israeli strikes on oil depots around Tehran have released massive quantities of toxic hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Mixed with rainwater, these chemicals are causing highly acidic precipitation that can cause skin burns and severe lung damage upon contact, according to Iranian authorities.
▪️ Dense plumes of black smoke from the Shahran and other refineries have blotted out the sun, plunging parts of the city into darkness and creating a "nuclear winter" effect, NYT reported. Authorities warned that these noxious fumes cause acute respiratory distress and eye irritation.
▪️ Oil-saturated rainwater has blanketed the city, leaving rooftops, balconies, and streets covered in a thick, murky black liquid and oily soot. This contamination poses a long-term risk of heavy metals like nickel and vanadium leaching into the soil and local water systems.
▪️ Environmental groups warn the pollution threatens migratory birds crossing the Persian Gulf. The "black rain" and smoke plumes can cause internal organ damage and destroy the insulating properties of bird feathers, leading to hypothermia and death.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned of the dangers of the rain, advising residents to protect themselves and to cover exposed food from oily soot particles. Officials said the rain is highly corrosive and could potentially damage civilian structures.

this kid was someone’s whole world
when you think of each kid that was killed by america and israel, you have to imagine how many worlds they killed and the generations of trauma they created
if it happened to americans or israelis, they wouldn’t shut up about it for 100 years
Notre Dame roof on fire = global emergency. Western art historians wrote essays abt "civilizational loss." Billionaires rushed to donate.
When US/IS bombs fall on a cradle of millennia of art, suddenly the art world has no wi-fi. Whose heritage matters?
Seems a good time to remember that Pope Francis called the Christians in Gaza almost every night for years, up until his death, and used his Christmas address to stand against Israel’s campaign of mass death
How many more videos, witnesses, and victims before the world admits this is systematic and state backed? lsrael backs these settler terrorists. Palestinians are a threat just for existing.
