The collapse and devastation of Sudan is designed by the UAE, backed by all the usual suspects.

Estimates put numbers slaughtered at upwards of hundreds, into the thousands, over the course of a few days. Satellite images, found by the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab, suggest piles of human bodies in ElFashir and red discoloration of patches of soil, consistent with blood.

Horrific situation in Sudan’s El Fashir, which has fallen to the RSF. Massacre after massacre of civilians; civilian men being asked if they’re soldiers and being summarily executed in the streets.

The genocide is not over. We are dealing with overseers and executioners of an extermination campaign of children.

You’re here and not necessarily hearing / reading the experiences of Palestinians in Gaza in real time.
Here are just some of the tweets from Palestinians in Gaza as Israel turns this into one of the bloodiest nights of the genocide.

Israel wants to extend the war, not the ceasefire.
It’s campaign of starvation - a war crime - is presented just as a tactic to extend the first phase of the ceasefire.
Israel wants to extend the first phase because the second phase would require it to withdraw its troops from Gaza & end the war.

This is actually insane? They weren’t even US citizens?
Their deaths—at the hands of Israel—are being used as a war cry for continuing the extermination of Palestinians. It’s become abundantly clear that the culture and embrace of genocide in this country won’t be dismantled.

Incredible thing to write and publish while a video, taken by an IDF soldier, of dogs eating the carcass of a murdered Palestinian circulates on social media—not an outlier of Israeli treatment of the Palestinians they’ve killed, but the norm.

The NYT is single-handedly responsible for one of the foundational lies that was used to justify the genocide of Palestinians: ‘Screams without words’.
Between that & this, it really should end any discussion about the breadth of *intentional complicity* in genocide manufacturing by the NYT.

A ceasefire doesn’t end a genocide.
From the Herero & Nama genocide to the Holocaust to the man-made famines that forged the global south, genocidal projects often achieve the most harm and extermination not through bullets and bombs but the purposeful spread of disease and starvation.

The CNN report also mentions the incident where aid trucks were looted recently, but makes no mentions of the fact that the gangs operate under the support of the IDF — an accusation made by aid groups.

It’s overall a good report, leading with the violence and starvation wrought against the Palestinians. It ends with an Israeli COGAT quote that is not true re: aid trucks.
Need reporters to contextualize with Israeli politicians repeatedly stating their intention to starve Palestinians.

According to Palestinian health workers & journalists, the Israelis seem to be using new weapons that *vaporize* any human body within a few hundred meters in North Gaza.
Gaza has long been used as a laboratory - the Israelis test weapons & then there is a spike in global demand for those weapons.

The breadth of denialism of the genocide of Palestinians is still astounding to me bc of just how much dehumanization it requires.
Never in history have we seen an extermination of a nation play out in front our eyes so explicitly and never has there been this breadth and effort put into denial.

If the bombs won’t kill them, if the starvation won’t kill them, if the injuries won’t kill them, if the bullets won’t kill them, if the diseases won’t kill them, if the lack of medical care won’t kill them.. the Israelis & Americans will find every other way to kill them.

After 14 months of this, you cannot find a single Palestinian who doesn’t carry a heavy sadness in their eyes.
Palestinians will exist, they will outlive their oppressors - but this much loss is unbearable for any nation and it should be unbearable for the rest of us too.

Trump undoubtedly was and remains worse on immigration - he is terrifying. But he was empowered to do what he did because of what the Obama administration had set up. And he will be able to do the horrors he promises because of the tools given to him by the Biden administration.

Trump, before Biden, oversaw mass deportations & increased family separations (kids in cages) w/a devastating zero tolerance policy.
Obama, prior to Trump, oversaw mass deportations & yes, his admin did do family separations (kids in cages). ICE raids under his admin were akin to military raids.
