Mentally I'm still here
Last night, protesters arrived at St. Patrick's Cathedral to remind the city's wealthiest and most powerful that Israel canceled Christmas in Bethlehem. Eric Adams and Rudy Giuliani were both in attendance, cheering on the genocide of Palestinians in the same city where Jesus was born.
Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!
I have transcribed the English translations on this video below:
"With God and the IDF's help, after we turn Khan Younis into a soccer field, I'm sure there will be international pressure at some point -hopefully after we finish the job -to rehabilitate Gaza and [to think] what needs to be done with Gaza. And then we need to take advantage of that. To take advantage of the destruction that we will wreak upon them, in order [to tell] the countries of the world, that each one of them should take a quota, it can be 20,000 or 50,000 [to say] that they too should shoulder the burden in order to allow them to leave. You have to understand it was hard for them to leave until now, it was complicated to leave Gaza. We need to change our mindset, and let them leave. We need to let them leave. As Tzvika said before, in the last few years half a million young people emigrated. We need 2 million to leave. In all honesty, that's the solution for Gaza."
On national television, as so many of them have proudly and publicly declared; a former Israeli Minister encourages mass displacement of Palestinian people on HISTORIC PALESTINE as a way to continue their Zionist agenda -she, as many of the liberal zionists do -propose this as a solution to end THEIR OWN systematic violence against Palestinian people... the audacity.
Do people sincerely think this isn't ethnic cleansing? Like at this point, settlers will literally say they want to burn Gaza to the ground and make it their 'paradise,' and western/European politicians and people will say that there's '2 sides to this...' and Israel has a 'right to defend itself,' despite breaking international laws, committing war crimes and genocide, and being a terrorist state with fascist mentalities...
I'm disgusted.
Joe Biden would rather risk full on war than stop genocide.
The last woman... absolutely heartbreakingđź’”. Where is the outcry now, where is the UN now? Why is the world silent when something horrible like this happens to the muslim /arab world ? I will never forgive them for being silent. Now I at least know they are all full of shit and no one actually cares about human life.
This youth from Palestine here, was called after finding his friend's house got bombed. They asked him to call his friend in order to determine his exact location so they can start digging.
Remember that in gaza there are no resources to dig people up from underneath the rubble, so civilians from the neighborhood have to use their own hands and be very careful because of the bodies underneath. I can't even imagine the trauma he's experiencing, his shaking voice and hands. I would never bear witnessing my best friend in such conditions and having to call them bc I'm not even sure they're alive.
How would anyone heal from this? And yet all are we asking for is just a ceasefire. This genocide should stop.
