As Israeli forces were burning people alive again, for the whole world to see, nothing can be clearer than who our fascist acquaintances and country leaders are.
It’s quite simple:
Those who defend fascists are fascists.
Those who justify the murder of children would probably murder children themselves.
Those who justify the daily extermination of people and defend it for a whole year now would justify it if it was your family, too, being burned alive.
Those who can’t condemn military occupation or genocide have already shown us their values. To see it is uncomfortable; unpleasant; uncool.
Yet if seeing how the occupier is burning people alive is less uncomfortable for some than their own silence about the mass murder, they should come back to read the very beginning of this post.
We are so done debating anyone whose sense of humanity has gone down the moral abyss, together with the Israeli army and its fascist government.
This is what our cowardice, polite tones, silence, and looking away has led to. This is what our fascist leaders support and enable.
This is what our governments stand with:
An extermination of people on an industrial scale.
And it won’t stop until it’s stopped — a century too late; hundreds of thousands of lives too late. An entire life of atonement too late. Mine has started over a decade ago. When has yours?
Stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.

Good News: We Are on a Boat Ride Together; Bad News: It’s Being Steered by Psychopaths
We’re on a boat steered by psychopaths — and they’re not taking us anywhere nice. As the U.S. and Israel are destroying Lebanon and Iran, one thing can’t be clearer: it is the whole world that has to make them stop.
