Where is the outrage? Where have all the "humans" gone? Israel slaughtered over 400 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

-----------
The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp

I'm tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human

They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before

That which cannot be found I desire

کز دیو و دد ملولم و انسانم آرزوست

گفتند یافت می‌ نشود جسته‌ ایم ما گفت
آن که یافت می‌ نشود آنم آرزوست

FUCK Zionists and their supporters

The needle is moving. The latest genocidal attack has received far more negatively loaded coverage for Israel than ever before. Even TheGuardian and Reuters are starting to name Israel as perpetrator in their headlines. European countries are condemning Israel. Keep pushing for public awareness. Soon politicians will openly start condemning Israel because the overton window has shifted.

I want my country to stop supporting this

Hopefully the tide turns, and Palestine can be free. May the people of Palestine have strength, and the Zionist entity dissolve. One, single, secular state of Palestine for Palestinians and former Israelis alike.

That reminds me of a quote (kinda poem like) I made after directly seeing the destruction in Gaza

"One day the bombs will stop falling from the sky, the barrels will fall silent, and a "normal" will set in, but the soil will be forever drenched with the blood of the innocent"

Someday this war is going to end, son.

What my quote means is that yes the war will end one day, but the deaths will always be remembered

🇨🇦 My MEP will be having a Q&A in a week and I will go and pressure him on this. I'm not sure what more I can really do.

Where have all the "humans" gone?

Gone to graveyards, every one

When will they ever learn?

Where is the outrage?

It's there but media and the government are not covering it.

the outage is gone, you've used up your yearly alloted outrage quota, you will no longer experience anger, nor most other emotions.

That was possibly the hardest thing to take, surviving the genocide(s). The banal evil, the indifference, the apathy, the heads in the sand, so many wannabe good falling to inaction and wilful ignorance upon confrontation with the overwhelm at the horror... some even going back into denial. Horrible catch22s and psychological fatiguing as strategies to further defeat and divide us by. I KNOW it is hard, but still have compassion and sympathy for those who succumb to losing theirs, while encouraging them back to sense of empowerment, reassuring them, there is something they can do, they will seek it, find it, and do it. On and on. No room here for defeatist self fulfilling prophecies of despair and ignorance. Awaken, mendwards, because it's necessary. Amazing grace... We're not done here. We can still mend this.
