Israel just brought down a full residential apartment block in the Basta area in Beirut without warning, at 4am in the morning. Families sleeping soundly in their beds, to wake as their ceilings collapsed in on them.

This is the US-Israel axis of evil at play

Netanyahu is a war criminal and should be stopped and brought to justice for overseeing this latest escalation in the genocide of the Palestinian people.
He is not the root cause of the decades of genocide in Palestine that began in 1948.
The occupation is.

Over two million people in the Gaza Strip are facing catastrophic levels of famine due to Israel's continued blockade on humanitarian aid and severe shortages of food and flour.

The lack of flour has caused prices to skyrocket, making it unaffordable for many families, 1/2👇🏻

a snippet from the first edition of “black women’s writers at work.” maya angelou is asked “what is your responsibility as a writer?” she responds: “My responsibility as a writer is to be as good as I can be at my craft. So I study my craft. I don't simply write what I feel, let it all hang out. That's baloney. That's no craft at all. Learning the craft, understanding what language can do, gaining control of the language, enables one to make people weep, make them laugh, even make them go to war. You can do this by learning how to harness the power of the word. So studying my craft is one of my responsi-bilities. The other is to be as good a human being as I possibly can be so that once I have achieved control of the language, I don't force my weaknesses on a public who might then pick them up and abuse themselves.”

i am always coming back to the lessons, pleasures, and deep readings in the monumental book “black women writer’s at work.”

here, maya angelou describes her commitment as a writer.

Palestine is a test of humanity. If you are comfortable seeing people herded into an open-air prison and brutalised and killed, or watching them have their lands and homes stolen by settlers, then you are an enemy of all humanity.

There but for the grace of God go any of us..

Have not seen much on here on Sudan, so I'm amplifying this horrific report that shows the number who are killed is higher than previously estimated.

Adding here other writing to read to understand this war that has displaced over 11 million people; the highest displacement crisis globally. 🧵

Western leaders cannot call what is occurring in Gaza a genocide because they are themselves all complicit. Just like a gang of thieves that can’t admit the wrongdoing of the others without incriminating themselves, they are obliged by their guilt to lie to their last breath.

Israel is a nation of rape and sexual violence. It had been a defining characteristic of the state since its founding. That the narrative ever shifted to Palestinians was projection. Israel has been sexually obsessed and abusive of Palestinian men, women & kids for 75 years.

If I must die, If I must die Refaat Alareer you must live to tell my story to sell my things to buy a piece of cloth and some strings, (make it white with a long tail) so that a child, somewhere in Gaza while looking heaven in the eye awaiting his dad who left in a blaze-and bid no one farewell not even to his flesh not even to himself- sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above and thinks for a moment an angel is there bringing back love If I must die let it bring hope let it be a tale

If I must die, let it be a tale.

—Refaat Alareer

Do not stop speaking out about the genocide. It still continues night and day. Even if the feed is not showing you the corpses, they are still there. Seek out news if you must and be the voice sharing what is happening. We must keep Gaza at the top of the feed until Palestine is free!

Israel is one of the most important cornerstones of US imperialism. It needs it to preserve its dwindling hegemony. But this cornerstone is slowly being chipped away at until it is eventually torn down. We will see it fall in our lifetime.

You can’t say that you didn’t know. You can’t say that it’s too complicated or complex to talk about. You can’t say you aren’t political or don’t want to upset others. You just can’t. It’s so clear. Every person who has been on the ground in Gaza has said the same. It’s genocide.

Please don’t turn a blind eye to this.
