A video shared widely by Hebrew Telegram channels on 8 June shows that the Israeli army made use of the US-built pier installed in central Gaza as part of a bloody rescue operation that saw the killing of at least 210 Palestinians in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Furthermore, according to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, a special US military unit specialized in rescuing captives “supported the effort” that decimated the Nuseirat camp.

I also have seen multiple videos and images on Twitter of humanitarian aid trucks used in the operation as well.

The cultural erasure of historical ethnic cleansing is a thing that troubles me a lot.

Isn'treal and and the nazis clearly modeled themselves after Amerikkka's hunger for blood and land, which hardly anyone in the world wants to admit to, because it was successful. "Yes, daughter, it was very sad what happened to those people, but that was a long time ago and there's nothing we can do about it. (Also it was kinda their fault, too.) Now drink your corn syrup and don't think about it ever again."

The modern imperial mantra being "blood now, tears later" means this train has always had brakes that are just seen as too unprofitable to use.

If nothing else, for all that they are also a threat to humanity, I'm grateful for nuclear weapons (and if need be, even the prospect of biowarfare on the table) as a result.

The rest of humanity is now increasingly building the foundations so that they can move past the barbarism the west inflicted on them, and if the west cannot choose even the most basic humanity- if our societies cannot abandon hegemony, genocide, and exploitation, and overthrow their monstrous systems themselves- if need be, they will be wiped off the map this time around, when they try to inflict the same on others.

I feel the same way

Even the remnants of indigenous peoples are treated like shit, both here and in places in South America, I e. Bolivia, Venezuela, etc. so how sorry do they feel even now?
