Absolutely horrifying that the "leaders of the free world" are not only standing by while this happens but actively and continuously enabling
Months of daily photographic and video evidence of Israeli war crimes, and still the US, EU and UK are all enabling Israel attacking civilians and carrying out ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Genocide is inseparable from colonial history. It is dishonest to insist that material demand superceded the need to exterminate "undesirable races." I'd even argue that extermination of non-white people was more urgent for colonizers as it cleared the path for extraction.

This country is so janky, ask them to mobilize a response so we're not in an endless pandemic & it's beyond them, but if they need to surveil & track pregnant people to criminalize abortions they're at the ready with all the infrastructure they need.

In all honesty we did not think this story would have such reach! Some ways to support 1️⃣ donate to the shelves (bluestockings.com/free-store or www.paypal.com/US/fundraise...) 2️⃣ check out our members program (withfriends.co/bluestockings) 3️⃣ just spread the word we exist 🩵🩵

Notes on humanitarian pauses:
1. w/o fuel, Gaza's civilian infrastructure will collapse. Even UNRWA is on its last fuel
2. If no fuel enters, aid won't get far (b/c Rafah trucks aren't the delivery trucks)
3. Medical procedures rely on fuel for generators. No fuel means surgery by phone flashlight

Quick facts on humanitarian logistics in Gaza:
1. The trucks that bring humanitarian aid into Gaza don’t distribute it. Trucks from Egypt are aggressively inspected before entering through Rafah, deliver aid to a UNRWA warehouse (Rafah logistics base), and depart again through Rafah;

Perhaps it’s naive of me, but I keep wishing that some of these Black folks who ascend to the presidential boardrooms of this country’s major universities would stand on the side of justice. But then, if they were so inclined, such ascension would be out of the question.
