As western pundits, politicians and celebrities suddenly pivot to denouncing Israel's genocidal atrocities after two years of silence, it's hard to believe that just a few weeks ago we were being told that saying "death to the IDF" is a hate crime. Reading by Tim Foley.

We've been asked to believe a lot of intensely stupid narratives throughout this genocide, but "it's actually HAMAS who's starving Gaza" has got to be the dumbest one yet. The fact that Israel and its supporters tried to blame the UN and Hamas for Israel's extensively documented starvation campaign makes it clear that these freaks intend to keep lying about this thing until the last dying gasp of the last Palestinian. Reading by Tim Foley.

Just so we're all absolutely clear about what we're watching here, Israel is intentionally starving civilians in order to bring about the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and steal a Palestinian territory. That's all this is, and anyone who says otherwise is lying. Reading by Tim Foley.

Those tiny skeletal bodies you're seeing on your social media feed are the fruits of the empire. The shredded, eviscerated, decapitated children you've been seeing in footage from Gaza since 2023 are the fruits of the empire. This is known now, and it can never be unknown. Reading by Tim Foley.

The mass atrocity in Gaza is a genocide, obviously, and is an undisguised ethnic cleansing operation. But it's also a lot more than that. Reading by Tim Foley.

A doctor in Gaza named Nick Maynard reports that Israeli snipers are now shooting starving civilians in different body parts on different days, based on the injuries people show up with for treatment. There's a head day, a leg day, a genitals day, etc. Reading by Tim Foley.

Gaza isn’t starving, it is being starved. And the people who are starving it have names and addresses. Reading by Tim Foley.

Saying you support funding Israel's "defensive weapons" while opposing sending it "offensive weapons" is as nonsensical as saying you would never give a mass shooter guns and ammunition, but you would give him body armor to keep him safe from the police. You're helping him commit mass murder just as much as you would be if you gave him guns and ammo. Kings didn't arm their knights with shields and armor so that they could live long and fulfilling lives, they did it so the knights would live long enough to kill the people the kings wanted killed. Reading by Tim Foley.

Of course they'd try to silence our speech. Of course they'd try to send our kids off to war with Iran. Of course they'd work to manipulate our government. Of course they'd pollute the information ecosystem with mountains of lies. They support a live-streamed genocide. They're bad people. Reading by Tim Foley.

It's so funny how Trump has stopped even pretending to be a populist. As soon as he was re-elected he was just "Yeah okay so Israel comes first and forget everything I said about free speech and the Ukraine war is continuing and there will be no Epstein investigation, fuck you."
