As I’m writing it, I understand how appalling it is that “another school massacre” is a common phrase now when we talk about Israel’s annihilation of Gaza.
That annihilation has not subsided. You may only be seeing less of it.
This is what my short video is about: it’s about the necessity to continue speaking out against the worst atrocities of this century.
The specific case I mention is one of Israel’s most recent massacres in Gaza. In this one, a school was bombed, leaving – this is not an exaggeration – only scattered body parts.
It was committed right after the US promised to send another 3.5 billion in military aid to Israel, ten months into Israel’s genocide.
I’ve expressed it multiple times in other formats on The Exploding Head, but it’s worth saying it again:
It cannot be clearer that this is America’s genocide.
It is the US that funds it, protects it, fuels it, and allows it to continue. It is the Biden administration that’s responsible, together with Israel, including a current US presidential candidate, so eagerly embraced by white feminists.
And if one day – a day I know so many of us have been waiting for – a lawsuit is filed to the International Court of Justice accusing the current US administration of failing to uphold the Genocide Convention, it will be no surprise to anyone who has a drop of critical thinking left.
But now, no matter how guilty, ashamed, depressed, tired, or embarrassingly apathetic we might feel, we really really need to keep on going.
We have to keep important things important.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.

International Law is No More, Fascism is Here: How Will You Choose to Operate in This Reality?
Fascism has never been a thing of the past; now, to disregard it means to disengage from reality. As international law has crumbled, Israel is still destroying Gaza, and masked agents are snatching people of the streets in the U.S., I invite you to ask yourself how you choose to show up in this reality.
As the US Attacks Venezuela, Notice Who Bows Down to Empires and Spreads Their Propaganda
You would think we would be beyond cheering military aggression by empires. Yet be aware of this cheering, as well as of consciously erasing international law considerations in the coverage of recent U.S. attacks on Venezuela.
A Visual Summary of What Our Governments Have Allowed Israel to Do to International Law
When the UN premises are raided and the UN flag is replaced by the Israeli flag, it’s not even international news. It’s not a scandal. Because of the impunity our governments continue to generously gift to Israel (which in turn has rendered international law itself completely battered).
