alt-text: there’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop. I have to eat better and also avoid a plague. my rent went up $150. I’ll need to pick up more shifts. Twenty people died in Rafah this morning and every major news outlet is stretching the limits of passive voice to suggest whole families may have leaped up through the air at missiles that otherwise had the right of way. I just got a notification that my student loan payments are starting up again and my phone isn’t charged. My cousin got COVID for a fourth time and can no longer work or walk or even feed himself. The person across from me on the L train seems to fashion themself a punk rock revolutionary, but they’re not wearing a face mask, and that’s the kind of cognitive dissonance that makes me want to steal batteries. Fascists keep winning primaries for both parties, and I think I gained a few pounds. The CDC just announced there are no more speed limits on highways, and I think this Ativan is finally hitting. The NYPD farmer’s market only sells bad apples, have you heard that one? Listen it’s warm today, too warm for March. But I don’t have time to think through the implications because there’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop.
Turns out my source was also counting other countries, so fair enough.

Still, a ceasefire agreement has been proposed, and Hamas is the reason it hasn’t happened yet.
Also keep in mind that sanctions need to be ramped up gradually. That gives people time to change their behavior instead of immediately being punished by brand new policies, and it makes the sanctions relevant for a much longer period of time. If you go straight to 100% and your targets just get used to it, then you can’t use that card anymore.
Israel is the reason it hasnt happened. Israel has refused to attend the negotiations, Hamas has given its side.

Hamas doesn’t get to say “we don’t know where any of the hostages are” and then follow that by saying “the ball is in Israel’s court”. That’s fucked.
Gaza is levelled, 30,000 people are dead, millions are starving to death, communications have been cut, and you cant even move around freely without being murdered by Israeli soldiers.
How dare they not have the logistics in place to know everything!
Genocidal nazis like Israel dont get to demand shit. And still Biden supports them.
It’s the single most important thing for Hamas to know. When they say they don’t know, it just means they tortured, raped and killed all of the hostages, but they don’t want to admit to it.
Stop spreading IDF propaganda.

For all we know Israel has killed them like it did with those 3. How can anyone tell with Israels indiscriminate terror bombings.

Back that up.
What you posted does not prove the propaganda you’ve said above.
Oh and…

I just did.
I haven’t said a single word to defend Israel’s actions, and I’m not going to. That’s also fucked up.
That’s why it’s a good thing that Biden has started to change US policy toward Israel.
