Stop calling it the Israel-Hamas war. It's the Israel-Gaza massacre.

I used to think genocidal massacres are bad but then some really smart Israel apologists explained to me that this genocidal massacre is completely different because this genocidal massacre's perpetrators believe they are doing the right thing for a good reason.

The worse Israel's crimes become, the more Israel targets the press and works to restrict information flow from Gaza by cutting off electricity and internet access. The worse Israel makes itself look, the more vitriolic ad hominems Israel apologists begin flinging at those who…

The only reason so many Israel apologists scrambled to circulate unverified stories about beheaded babies and mass rapes instead of waiting for evidence was to make the real atrocities Israel is perpetrating and will continue to perpetrate in Gaza look reasonable and appropriate.

Laying complete siege to a civilian population and bombing anything that stands would be an extraordinary abomination in any war. And this is not a war — it's an enclosed shooting range with military explosives and human targets.

Hamas is responsible for Hamas' decisions, Israel is responsible for Israel's decisions. Hamas is responsible for the Hamas attack, Israel is responsible for provoking that attack via apartheid abuses and for bombing civilians in retaliation for it. It's not actually complicated.

It's an extensively documented fact that wartime has always been rife with atrocity propaganda. The mass media learned in Ukraine that they can parrot any amount of atrocity propaganda without any professional consequences so long as it comes from the side their government is on. https://t.co/SK7NGaJeM4 pic.twitter.com/7SOT4VU5FV

Last week not even actual SS Nazi veterans or Ukrainian soldiers with Nazi insignia were Nazis. This week everyone who doesn't want to genocide Palestinians is a Nazi. I can't keep up anymore. https://t.co/FbWJMp7WeE

Everyone's got a serious case of 9/11 brain today.

You know about 9/11 brain, kids? It's when something scary happens and everyone goes insane and starts believing a bunch of lies and consenting to power-serving agendas that do exponentially more damage than the initial trauma.

The Israeli government calculated the bare minimum calories Palestinians in Gaza need to survive in order to determine how many trucks of food to let through "to put the Palestinians on a diet", then decided to allow significantly less food than that.https://t.co/287yTDkC8m

The Palestinians are again fighting for their lives, refusing to live in the prison known as Gaza, controlled and policed by Israel with Palestinians killed and maimed, unreported, day after day. Now their resistance, to which they have a right, is called 'unprovoked'. Read on: https://t.co/GKkEaF5ndL
