Two years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the world’s complicity is clear. Western governments, corporations, and media have shielded and sustained a colonial project built on occupation, racial capitalism, and dehumanization—profiting from and normalizing the erasure of the Palestinian people

To be clear what happened here.

Israel bombed a hospital.

They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive.

Then they bombed it again.

This is known as the 'double tap'.

You are watching unfathomable evil, armed and facilitated by the West.

Civil defense rescue teams were hit by an Israeli airstrike during a live broadcast on Al-Ghad TV. 🚨📢

It was the second strike on Nasser Hospital, killing journalist and Reuters photographer Hossam Al-Masry, along with others.

This is not war. This is dehumanization. 😤

Israeli forces illegally boarded ‘Handala’ in international waters, abducting 21 unarmed civilians.
Demand your government end its complicity in Israeli war crimes, ensure the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid, and call for the immediate release of all crew members.

Perfect illustration of Laverne Cox's "I think they're focused on the wrong 1%".

This is a cartoonish representation of oligarchic domination: a chauvinist billionaire donned in gold jewellery and smoking a cigar, celebrating a supreme court ruling that (by her own side's account) wouldn't have gone through without her extensive financial and political investments
