Israel Really Is As Evil As It Looks
Israeli snipers routinely, deliberately shoot children in the head throughout the Gaza Strip.
Israel created an AI system for the IDF to target suspected Hamas fighters when they go home to their families and mockingly called it "Where's Daddy?", because they are killing the fighters' children.
Israel has targeted healthcare facilities and ambulances in Gaza hundreds upon hundreds of times. They've been documented entering the hospitals they attack and systematically destroying individual pieces of medical equipment in order to make them unusable.
IDF soldiers constantly post photos and videos to their social media accounts showing themselves mockingly dressing in the clothes of dead and displaced Palestinian women and playing with the toys of dead and displaced Palestinian children.

Waking Up From The Nightmare Of Western Civilization
We don't need horror movies. We're creating our own horrors in places like Gaza.
We don't need dystopian fiction. We're living in dystopia right here in our own society.
We don't need fantasy stories about scary monsters. The scary monsters run our government.

Israel Will Even Persecute Palestinians For Simply Talking To Journalists
Israeli soldiers have been harassing a Palestinian activist who appeared in Louis Theroux's recent documentary The Settlers to talk about Israel's apartheid abuses in the occupied West Bank. Issa Amro shared footage of IDF troops raiding his home over the weekend, days after Theroux's film debuted on the BBC.
Israelis not only murder journalists, attack journalistic institutions and block journalists from entering the Gaza Strip, they also persecute Palestinian civilians who speak with journalists.

It Was Never About Hostages. It Was Never About Hamas
There is absolutely no excuse for continuing to babble about hostages and Hamas after the US and Israel said the goal is the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. They told you what this is really about. They said it. With their face holes. They said it right to you. End of debate.

"Anti-Zionism Is Anti-Semitism"
Anti-Zionism is anti-semitism. Cats are ducks. The Declaration of Independence is spaghetti sauce. The Bronze Age is a foot fetish. There are no differences between any two things. All things are exactly the same as all other things.

Israel's Backers Keep Whining That They're Losing Control Of The Narrative
Amnesty International is now calling Israel’s mass atrocity in Gaza “a live-streamed genocide” due to the way this nightmare is unfolding right in front of us on the screens of our devices around the world, and public support for Israel is plummeting in the United States.
Zionists are losing control of the narrative, and they know it. And they are not taking it well.

Biden Never Pushed For A Ceasefire In Gaza
So everyone who said the Biden administration was working for a ceasefire lied. They lied that whole entire time. They committed genocide and lied about it, and then they said you were crazy and irresponsible if you didn’t support them.
People’s rage should shake heaven and earth.

It's Always About The System
Israel is a bad country full of bad people. They are not bad because of their religion, they are bad because they live in a genocidal apartheid state whose existence depends on indoctrinating its people into seeing genocide and apartheid as good. It's the system. It's always about the system.

We Are Trapped In A Dystopia That Is Ruled By Lunatics
We really need a name for the mental illness that comes with obscene amounts of wealth. Elon Musk's bizarre progeny obsession. All the weird shit Michael Jackson did. The stories you hear about rich families making their servants clean their toilets after every use or throw away plates after every meal.
