Israel's Genocide of Palestinians 03072024

-


Israel has committed a 95% civilian death rate (compared to Hama's 45% on Oct 7th), enforced a total siege on resources and aid, has perpetually bombed civilian infrastructure, schools/universities, hospitals, entire fleets of ambulances, government buildings, UN shelters, farmlands, cemeteries... displacing 2 million people left to just starve and dehydrate to death — This is a Textbook case of Genocide... the worst thing since the Nazis. If one remains unconvinced of this brazen genocide, then no possible set of facts would convince them.

Have we learned nothing since the last World Wars. We came through the Nuremberg Tribunals, we had the Geneva conventions, we established international law, the United Nations, to protect against exactly this level of insanity so that it never, ever happened again. The whole UN structure needs to be reorganized/replaced, clearly, just like the League of Nations was.

Rule of law is the last remaining glue holding our failing civilization together.... If we can’t uphold basic law in the face of atrocity then we have surrendered to total chaos on Earth.   

This all goes to show our failed ideologies and systems generate these outcomes, regardless of nation or generation... an insight of the most painful irony given it's Israel doing this, having been victims of genocide themselves.  

We can never expect to transition to a beautiful future without evolving our culture and institutions first.

Gaza: A Week In Genocide

Israel is invading Rafah, the last remaining city in Gaza where over 100,000 have been ordered to flee… many being displaced for the 5th/6th time now. Over 2 million in Gaza have been utterly displaced. There is no where left to go. Gaza has been wiped off the map. The border crossing from Egypt to Rafa where some fraction of critical aid/supplies were able to get through, was taken over and shut down by Israeli forces earlier this week on Sunday. 7 days later and still no aid, and no fuel has come through to power Rafah's medical systems, leaving hundreds of injured and sick people for dead. This, in addition to the already many thousands with non-combat related medical needs like heart problems, cancers, and pregnancies. (Weaponized) Famine sets in across Gaza, as innocent Palestinian civilians begin STARVING TO DEATH. There is no food, no water, no fuel, no electricity; all essential infrastructure has been destroyed; people are living on top of one another; and with rising temp

Commodification of Value

Everything has been commodified under Market Society, devaluing all we hold dear. People have become denatured because we don’t “value” anything. Everything is bought and paid for, nothing is inherently sacred or important; we are losing all true, tangible value. For millennia labor has been intimately linked to one's reward/survival, in effect "commodifying" ourselves and our labor for economic resources. As market capitalism has evolved over the past century, with the complete privatization and financialization of society, there exists today virtually zero constraints on what we'll make into sellable, marketable product in the pursuit of profit and survival in the system—  the planet's  natural resources...   our healthcare and medicine... our educational institutions...   our creative ingenuity  in the form of copyright protection and patents... our activism as mere occupational paths... the spreading of ideas and information in and of itself in the form of &qu

Women's History Month

March is Women's History month. It's a reminder that fundamental changes can and HAVE been made to society throughout history, when we come together and organize to do so. Our systems are not immutable laws of the cosmos, they are made by us, and we can unmake them, reshape them. Activists like to say that changing the system isn’t possible, that attempting change within a broken system is futile… but what happens after successful protests, LAW gets made...and that is the enduring part. Conversely, progress is by no means “inevitable”, it must be fought for. And achievements gained are always susceptible to erosion without our active engagement, as demonstrated by recent undoings of reproductive rights in the US. Radical change begins and ends with “talking” and the exchange of ideas… another action commonly dismissed as futile and “doing nothing”. But, words are powerful, they are the very means to "meaning", they give shape to ideas, which come to shape the world w
