A startling admission is buried in the @nytimes today: Israeli officials admit they are fine with “mass civilian casualties” in Gaza. The Israeli officials also cite the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan to justify the scale of expected civilian death in Gaza. Unconscionable.

Despite the International Criminal Court being created by the Rome Statute in 1994, here’s why Israel and the US have never been held accountable for war crimes and why victims of Western wars will not likely see justice anytime soon🧵#Gaza

Israel has cut off all internet and cellular communication in Gaza.

They don’t want the world to see what they are doing.

We must not look away from this violence, especially during a blackout.

We need a #CeasefireNow.

This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.

For everyone who has wondered how genocide is allowed to happen, we can see it clearly now. An entire people – once Jews, now Palestinians – are systematically dehumanized and vilified until people become indifferent or even enthusiastic about slaughtering them.

The West is allergic to investigating root causes. Most media, and almost anyone with any kind of power, wants you to stay far away from the origins of any problem. Because to address the core issues like racism, capitalism, and colonialism implicate the entire system.
