I came here to post about my time in England at a family wedding.
But I can't do it tonight. I cannot post about the good fortune of my family without acknowledging the huge gulf of privilege that protects me from the desperate fate others find themselves in. Especially what is happening mere hours from London.
I cannot reconcile how one family can have such a happy time and just over the way, Pale$t1ni@n families are being forced to witness their loved ones being starved to death. The total horror of it is unthinkable.
There is NO JUSTIFICATION for what is currently happening. There is no twisted, distortion of logic that makes this ok. It's not been ok for a long time now.
I know many of you feel this too.
We are living in a kafka-esque world, where what we can plainly see in front of our eyes and rationalise from history is argued away with both frightening vehemence and such ease.
The emperor's clothes, part 2. Only, babies are being starved this time.
How have we let this happen? What will we all collectively do about it? Post on socials, call on your elected officials to sanction I$Re'el, keep up the pressure for these heinous crimes to be acknowledged for what they are - war crimes. And check yourself.
How often have you gone along with the narrative that all muslims are terrorists? How often have you ignored blatant anti-arab racism in journalism?
This rampant and institutionally unchecked anti arab/muslim sentiment has contributed to the way being paved for the west to quietly accept the murder of all these families.
In this, there is much culpability for us all. Would it ever have gone on this long in 2025 if the little faces being starved to death had been white western faces?
We are now in a situation where the justification for geno¢ide is that all 'those babies are terrorists' (knesset member of the house 2024). What have we been complicit in?
If you are still choosing denial, go and listen to the words coming directly out of the Is*** government's mouths or the tv stations in Is*** as they mock mothers of dying babies. Educate yourself, find your heart again.
Let's pray it is not too late for more of us to come to our humanity and for this to stop. Justice must be served, we cannot stay silent.
Wedding pictures tomorrow. ❤️
