Impaling prisoners with metal rods in their rectum is the last of the thousands horrors Palestinians have had to endure these past 8 months.
However, abuses, torture, mass killing, wanton destruction, have been the daily reality for the Palestinians under Israeli rule for over half a century.
Now everyone can see. Israel operates as a military dictatorship, committing all sorts of crimes including #apartheid to the aim of removing the Palestinians from their land.
It did not start on Oct 7.

As night falls and waking up at 5 AM, flying to New York and 8 hours of street reporting non-stop catches up with me, I am about to leave this party and let these young ppl who welcomed me into their space carry on. But first, some final thoughts…
Update on Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza: @WHO and partners had to postpone a highly-complex joint mission due to delays. Three prior missions were denied. The hospital remains under siege since 18 March.
100 patients and 50 health workers are reportedly still inside the nonfunctional facility, with hostilities around it. We are extremely worried about their condition and safety.
Repeated denials have not only impeded us from reaching patients but also disrupted other crucial life-saving operations, by diverting limited resources.
We urge Israel to facilitate a safe humanitarian corridor and a better deconfliction system for WHO and partners to support patient transfers.
International humanitarian law is clear: health must not be militarized or attacked. Ceasefire!
“Colonialism, which sought to exploit colonised people and places, was justified by the prejudice that colonised people's ways of knowing and being are inferior to those of the colonisers. Institutions for knowledge production… were therefore central to sustaining colonialism…”
Complete shocker, putting into law the concept that the Palestinians are not allowed to have human rights, only Israelis, and that the Palestinians will be punished if they have the temerity to ask for their human rights to be upheld. Why isn't every American journalist screaming about this obvious injustice?
Famine in Gaza is not a natural disaster. It's a political choice. Outrageous, yes. But also criminal: deliberately depriving 2.3ML Palestinians of resources crucial for survival reflects an intent to inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction

Ngl I’m annoyed by everything being reduced to “pro-Palestine” or “anti-Israel.” This is not a team sport. I am pro-justice, anti-genocide. Pro-equality, anti-apartheid. Pro-indigenous rights, anti-colonisation. Pro-human rights, anti starving-children-to-death.

A colonizer is always angry, because a colonizer is always guilty.
A colonizer is always violent, because a colonizer is always afraid.
A colonizer is always angry and afraid because a colonizer is never home.

Lately I started getting words for it, this colonizer homelessness, the fact that colonizers look and feel like aliens to natives not only because they don't belong, but because the colonizers themselves feel the same way.
Think about it: wherever a colonizer goes, whatever they see, smell or taste, it is never theirs, or completely natural. It is not organic to them, but engineered; their whole existence is.
Whatever sustains and nourishes the native, threatens the colonizer and reflects their strangeness: the food, the music, the landscape, the flora and fauna. the sounds and smells, everything.
Whatever comes naturally to the native is a great effort for the colonizer: they don't understand the codes, and never will. They can't be still.
Aa colonizer is not an immigrant, a tourist or a guest, they have to find meaning for their stay. It must be a higher purpose, a higher calling, else what can explain both their presence not home, and the violent means they always need to maintain it? We are not designed to inflict pain and injury for comfort. We need a story to put us in a positive light.
-
So much of the western world's anxiety, I think, is just a colonizer's latent, repressed homelessness. Because colonialism is not just taking other people's home, it is also, and forever, being without one yourself.
I will soon issue my own statement.
I would have lived with the first part re incompatibility. But finishing with ‘there is no place for racism’ implying that i am a racist, I cannot accept.
