Communists really need to bring free love back as a point of argument, the necessity is obvious. The whole discourse of monogamy vs polyamory is pretty much illusory because both tend to end up instrumentalizations of other people with few exceptions, because our interpersonal relationships as a whole are so bound with economic constraints and our structurally encouraged selfishness and indifference. You can’t just turn away from the family and romance as “personal issues” unrelated to making the case for communism when so many people explicitly justify embracing political quietism and fatalism as long as they have romance

We actually do not know how many have been killed in Gaza. The numbers of those killed per day are seemingly less everyday compared to the start of the war, but we also hear of new daily massacres. We’re also hearing of Palestinians dying of starvation everyday, a number which is not included in the death toll. There’s not enough search and rescue teams to pull people from under the rubble, or that it’s too dangerous to do so. The Ministry of Health is unable to function properly, doctors and nurses are being killed off as hospitals are routinely bombed over and over, which means the current death toll is not being updated frequently and is most likely inaccurate. The carnage that Israel has left and continues to leave will only further result in the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, even long after this ‘war’ is over. Does that not scare you? Does that not anger you?

Update: This week, The Lancet, a medical journal, published a report suggesting that by applying conservative estimates of 4 indirect deaths for every direct death to the current amount of deaths reported, the projected Gaza death toll is at 186, 000 or more.

Really relevant right now. Despair and defeat is what they want you to feel - that's a colonial weapon in itself. So don't you dare fucking stop, turn your rage and grief into fuel that keeps you going.

I swear we will never forget how the slow death of these babies was literally being televised.

The whole world knows now that these babies have had their oxygen cut off from them by israel and the whole world knows that the hospital they are in is being bombarded by israel and the whole world knows that the families of these babies were being held hostages at gunpoint by israel inside the Al Shifa hospital.

The whole world also knows three of these babies have died already as the NICU shuts down.

Those who are silent about Israel's atrocities have made a deliberate choice to go down in history as the most shameless cowards. This is a very avoidable tragedy that you have chosen to maintain with your silence.

Israel has worked hard to portray Gaza as a barren wasteland, backwater that is a terrorist stronghold. In reality, Gaza is a beautiful city/region with a rich history that has been decimated from constant bombings and strangled by the blockade. So much of what is being destroyed by Israel are restaurants, bookshops, schools, universities, houses and much of what contributes to life in Gaza and people’s livelihoods. Places that are attached to and filled with the memories of Palestinians in Gaza. It’s not just about making life miserable for the people who live there, but about projecting a particular image of Gaza to the world. This is also similar to how the US has portrayed places like Afghanistan to justify its invasions.

the fact is, israel now definitely realises that no one believes its bullshit anymore, especially seeing the mass movement and huge shift in narrative in response to its ongoing war against Gaza. this tells israel that the mask is now completely off and the masses no longer believe its claims of being the victim and whatever the hell else.

this explains why the scale of violence has been so overwhelming in recent weeks, considering there is nothing for israel to justify anymore and no pretences to keep up for those who used to fall for them.

there is also the sense of embarrassment; a whole military apparatus with billions in annual aid still could not break a besieged, starved enclave (it never will). we have been hearing about ground invasion this, ground invasion that and we have yet to see anything tangible.

again, the public for the most part has now seen who israel really is; a genocidal, terrorist state, and israel knows there's no turning back from this so it ramped up the violence to cause as much damage as possible before it is forced to halt its current acceleration of the ongoing genocide.

U.S. officials are literally telling israel to "pause" so that people can ease up a little and be lulled back into complacency. always remember this and let's keep doing what we're doing because the tides have really turned.

With Netanyahu's initial reaction to the video of the three women hostages, calling it propaganda etc, it's good to remember that saving hostages is not even the least of israel's priorities right now, and as it was summed up perfectly:

Rescued hostages who may contradict the narrative are a potential embarrassment.

Dead hostages are capital they can spend to further justify genocide.

tamarrud

"The army is concerned that further hostage releases by Hamas could lead the political leadership to delay a ground incursion or even halt it midway."

Like they literally would rather not! And you have to think about this the next time you hear zionists advertise israel as the "safe haven" for Jewish people around the world

John Cusack, the voice actor for Dimitri in Anatasia (1997), shared his statement on Palestine 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

P.S. He has been a Palestinian supporter for years

I appreciate that he is cool but literally only on extremely normal website Tumblr would anyone ever introduce John Cusack as "the voice of Dmitri in Anastasia (1997)"

The new fabricated piece of Israeli atrocity propaganda, that Hamas baked a baby in an oven, is lifted directly from Palestinian survivor testimonies about what Zionist militants did during the Deir Yassin massacre of 1948.

[Warning, explicit descriptions of torture and violence.]

“I saw the Zionist terrorist soldiers ordering the bakery man of the village to throw his son in the oven and burn him alive. The son is holding the clothes of his father tightly and crying from fear and pleading to his father not to do it. The father refuses and then the soldiers hit him in his gut so hard it caused him to fall on the floor. Other soldiers held his son, Abdel Rauf, and threw him in the oven and told his father to toast him well-done meat. Other soldiers took the baker himself , Hussain al-Shareef, and threw him, too, in the oven, telling him, “follow your son, he needs you there”. - Testimonial from Othman Akel, recorded in Palestine Rising: How I survived the 1948 Deir Yasin Massacre (2010).

Like the saying goes, "every Zionist accusation is a confession."

It almost makes me wonder if it's part of a deliberate tactic to obfuscate search engine results. Because if you now search for something like say, 'Israeli solider put child in oven,' all the top results will be about Hamas, not Deir Yassin.

I've pointed this out before, but it's worth repeating that Ezra Yachin, that 95-year-old IDF reservist who has been celebrated as an inspirational war hero in Israeli media, participated in the Deir Yasin massacre.

And if there's any part of you that's still doubting whether Zionist settlers really could commit an act that depraved and cruel, here is what Yachin has to say about Palestinians in 2023:

"Be triumphant and finish them off and don’t leave anyone behind. Erase the memory of them," Yachin said while addressing Israeli troops this week, in a video that has since gone viral. "Erase them, their families, mothers and children. These animals can no longer live." "Every Jew with a weapon should go out and kill them. If you have an Arab neighbour, don’t wait, go to his home and shoot him."

I feel this feeling where I feel like I’m stranded in the middle of the desert. I feel parched and desperate, I feel like crying out until someone can hear me. I have been going in circles in my mind, and feeling my mental health deteriorate. My emotional state is absolutely reckless right now.

I have not really felt motivation to work on my projects lately. Working towards my hopes and dreams. I just feel so depressed, I feel like a desperate abandoned child who wonders why her mum keeps acting so cold to her
