If we're not angry, we're just not paying attention.

I feel like I’m losing my mind.

I woke up this morning, wanting to write about the horrors Israel is inflicting on Lebanon, which is basically Gaza part II.

Tower blocks are ablaze. Black smoke fills the sky. Entire neighbourhoods lie in rubble. And the rockets don’t stop. I’m getting the most horrific sense of deja vu. Right after one holocaust, we’re watching another one take place.

Throughout the Gaza genocide, I tried to expose the hypocrisy and sheer monstrosity of our leaders through satire, but I’m wondering how I can possibly find humour when every key press is painful? Today is one of those rare days when I’m struggling to stay in character, but I have to say something.

I thought Setlers gathering in deck chairs on a hilltop to watch Gaza being bombed was sick but now they take boat cruises off the Gaza for their entertainment.

It seems if you don't call it a genocide it's OK to continue the mass killing.

The western media is as rotten as hell as are it's gutless leaders.

With you completely. Now we await the Anniversary of October 7th, with all the faux frowning of brows and hand wringing, and yet not a word for the thousands who have perished in unrelenting acts of brutality in Gaza since. Essentially an October 7th committed every single day and night for 12 months.

I agree with everyone's sentiments but think the reverse is true.

By using the language of genocide - when it isn't, and neither was Hiroshima - just gives Israeli apologists room to point out the difference, and act as if this is some kind of justification for the ongoing horrors.

The ongoing horrors are ENOUGH and the international community must act NOW.
