If just for counting casualties no longer able, you know the war is already catastrophic
"Why aren't there more protests against massacres by governments we *aren't* arming and backing to the hilt?" isn't the clever question you think it is.

SNIPER. SHOT. 4 [FOUR]. PATIENTS
A grim milestone tonight: for the first time since the Oct 7 conflict began, Gaza's Health Ministry says it cannot release an updated death toll, because Israel's bombardment is too intense to allow for an accurate count. It boggles my mind that most of you have never had the experience of watching the world mass slaughter your people, deem them dispensable, unworthy of life.
Had a white Jewish man in bluesky say to me that it’s just so hard when you don’t have a place to say “well this our home country.” I replied that as a Javanese descendant of slaves, tanned skin, I will never know where my folk are from but not knowing wouldn’t justify displacing people.

Ehud Barak says [Israeli] we must make the deal “all for all”. The thought of sacrificing the hostages is unthinkable.
Media ran for days with fake stories about 40 beheaded Israeli babies, but this atrocity [39 Palestinian premature babies] won't get anything like the coverage, unless we make sure it does.
NEW YORKER interview with settler leader DANIELLA WEISS. Human rights principles have suffered the destiny of the Fourteen Points. The time it took each to be undeniably abandoned by the West being the only notable difference.
According to the racist logic of the US government, Israelis killing us isn't bad because we're human beings, Israelis killing us is bad because it may radicalize our kids who may grow up wanting to hurt Israel. What deep, obscene dehumanization.
I know a lot of high-ranking media, such as New York Times, Guardian, Anadolu, BILD, Spiegel, Financial Times, Strait Times, Washington Post etc subscribed my substack. Plestia ‘Bosbos’ Alaqad ready to be your Stringer inside Gaza under bombing by Israel. Plestiaa2011@gmail.com
Toddler with Plestia, before war, living in Northern Gaza and they evacuated to Southern Gaza. Since Friday, Oct 13, when Israel announced to every Gazans from northern move to southern, more than 5,000 killed in southern, not counting barbaric bombing in northern Gaza. Northern Gaza is being depopulated, while even residents in the south are ordered to evacuate as the israelis implement their ethnic cleansing. Refugee literally fulfilled Israel warning, and still killed with barbaric bombing by Israel. Documentation by Plestia Alaqad
