Folks I can’t write.
I have sat and racked my brains and cannot come up with words to put on paper to match what is in my heart.
And I can’t stop seeing images of brutally murdered, starved, shot, mutilated children. I can’t stop feeling sickened every single day that these killings are being justified because ‘hamas’ or ‘hostages’.
So twenty hostages justifies these horrific mind games the IDF are currently playing on Palestinians in Gaza (and the West Bank!?). Killing over 100,000 people (and yes even more than that. Whoever believes the bullshit 40,000 dead that the media has been spouting for two years is tripping and utterly ignorant. It’s well over 100,000 dead, closer to 500,000 – studies have proved this – there are hundreds and thousands of people buried under rubble who are unaccounted for. It’s a GENOCIDE.)
Babies lying on hospital floors with intestines spilling out, clearly dead, while other babies stagger around with blood on their faces and nappies looking for comfort that adults are too injured and distressed to give.
Snipers aiming to shoot babies every day – making it a sport, so doctors are seeing tens of babies shot in the head one day, and then dozens of babies shot in the leg another day, followed by a third day where it seems they played the target game of ‘shoot em all in the stomach’ – so all the injuries appear in a pattern.
Settlers ripping people from their homes illegally but with no accountability from their evil government or the international community. Settlers blocking aid to Gaza by using their own children as human shields to block the roads so aid cannot enter. ISRAEL blocking aid but then blaming the UN, when everyone knows ISRAEL alone is responsible for who goes into or out of Gaza, because they, as the occupying force, have full control of its borders.
Yet somehow this is justified because Hamas needs to ‘release the hostages’?!
There’s more. There is more. They are starving, but the Ben Shapiros and Konstantin Kisins of this world say that is okay because INTELLECTUALLY, WHAT WOULD YOUR COUNTRY DO IF IT WAS ATTACKED LIKE ISRAEL WAS ON OCTOBER 7TH?!
Intellectually?
Intellectually, I would have the moral compass to see that debating supposed ‘facts’ while defending killing in cold blood is reprehensible. I certainly would not defend it and cloak my empty baseless sentences in meaningless justification.
And then the lovely people of the UK and US and elsewhere in their comfortable homes with trays of food on their fat bellies can sit there and stand with israel because their whiteness and colonial mindset is threatened.
They believed the lies about Iraq and Iran, and they are willingly swallowing the barbed lies about Palestine.
Oh I feel so angry.
But if we say anything we are antisemitic.
So no I have had no power or desire to write feathery meaningless short stories when I am watching the world become drenched in blood and watching people openly supporting it and justifying it. I cannot right now. My mind feels weak and furious and helpless.
