Gaza is a ‘killing field’, says UN chief, as agencies urge world to act on Israel’s blockade by Megan Fisher (BBC News). Since Israel broke the fragile ceasefire on March 18, they have murdered 1,449 Palestinians. Food and medical supplies are blocked.
There’s a very good chance you haven’t given much thought to what’s happening to Palestinians, seeing as we’re under another kind of assault in the United States. It’s no coincidence that as the fascists openly and willfully destabilize this country, there’s less focus on Gaza and the U.S.-sponsored genocide of Palestinians. That’s intentional. They’re overwhelming us with their shock-and-awe destruction, throwing so much horribleness in our faces at once that we lose sight of what’s still happening on the other side of the world:
Genocide.
Ethnic cleansing.
Intentional starvation.
Journalists and medical personnel targeted for murder.
Children shot and bombed and slaughtered at a rate never seen before.
And the media isn’t helping matters. Journalist Adam Johnson documented how mass death and destruction has been normalized.
Know who else isn’t helping matters? The Democrats. Last week only 15 Senators voted to block more arms to Israel. This is NOT what democracy looks like. The majority of people in the U.S. do NOT want to spend billions of dollars to arm an apartheid state so they can commit genocide. Many of us called and sent emails only to have our voices ignored again.
I’m exhausted. We’re all exhausted. But we can’t stop talking about Palestine. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

The only thing I know for sure right now is that evil is being left unchecked. I truly don’t understand how anyone enabling all the horror is able to sleep or look themselves in the mirror.

Tracy, such individuals have long lost their soul or moral compass. They are known as sociopaths and psychopaths.

You’re right. They are sociopaths and psychopaths. Or, as I’ve said on many a message to my so-called representatives, “soulless ghouls.”
