One Must Imagine Sisyphus Actually Pretty Miserable. Because He Has To Roll A Huge Rock Up A Hill Over

THIS IS NOT A WAR. Stop calling it a war. GAZA IS NOT A STATE. GAZA IS COLONISED TERRITORY, under siege by a nuclear power. This is a World War waged on Palestinian people by the media and giant corporations and their reactionaries. Colonised people have the right to armed resistance under international law.

This is the funniest way you could've put it

i love how much the buddy system is built into playing ace attorney. no one ever investigates things by themselves. when maya gets kidnapped, phoenix investigates with pearl & at one point makes a joke that pearl doesn’t pick up, which makes him miss maya. when pearl & maya are on the other side of the bridge in aa3, franziska insists on him coming with him. when phoenix can’t investigate because of his cold, it’s not just edgeworth that looks at crime scene, but edgeworth and gumshoe. apollo gets left alone for five minutes in the gavinners dressing room and he’s immediately like “oh i wish trucy could have heard my joke about this guitar” or “trucy would love this post card.”

i’m sure part of it is just narratively things flow a lot better if information is split between two characters but it also just gives the impression that everyone actually genuinely likes each other. it feels very endearing. don’t separate them

tumblr what do we call this kind of design

I'm aware that this is a pretty big blog, so I try to avoid putting people on blast- mostly cause I don't want anyone tracking folks down and dogpiling on them for the unforgivable sin of "being wrong about a thing",

Because we are all hilariously, ridiculously and unabashedly incorrect about things at times, and that doesn't deserve the embarrassment of a thousand jeering, judging strangers with their careless mockery and casual insults,

That being said

BITCH THAT SHIT DO KILLS PEOPLE

this has been nagging at me ever since i started seeing so many memes about it but

[please reblog so this can breach containment]

While neither side should have attacked in the first place, what Israel is doing is many times worse than what Hamas could have ever done, and Israel should be punished accordingly.

if you support israel right now, you're supporting the extermination of the palestinian people.

it really is that simple.

this isn't a 'complicated conflict,' it isn't a situation that 'requires nuance,' it's not a 'geopolitical event' that requires us to condemn the 'bad actors' on 'both sides.'

it's a genocide.

there is no 'nuance' to be had here. it's a genocide, committed by the israeli state against the palestinian people, and it's happening right now as we speak. you don't have to infer anything: israel has openly, with next to no pushback from so-called liberal democracies, cut off gaza's access to water, food and electricity. that's more than two million palestinians denied even the basic necessities for life. a million of them, children.

what is that, if not a genocide?

and that's only the latest escalation. we could go all day, listing the atrocities the palestinian people have been subjected to. the killings, the beatings, the children sexually abused in detention center, all the hospitals and ambulances being blown up, videos of palestinians being heckled by settlers as they're driven from their homes, israelis gathering on hilltops to cheer as their military drops bombs on gaza...

but all westerns want to talk about, is hamas.

because the murder of palestinians by the IDF is status quo; it doesn't affect them. what's one more dead palestinian but a statistic? but if hamas has killed a handful of israelis — if they've go as far as to even kill babies — then that justifies the extermination of two million palestinians, children and infants included.

westerns will even say that the palestinians brought it on themselves; that they should have know that a drop of israeli blood requires a river in return.

and just so we're clear, you don't have to like hamas. but when you equate hamas with the IDF, when you derail every conversation by demanding a condemnation of 'both sides,' or when you, god forbid, agree that israel is justified in dismantling hamas — which, as israel themselves have outlined, will involve the complete destruction of gaza and the murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians — then either wake up, or own up to the fact that you're a participant in the extermination of the palestinian people.

do you think i'm being harsh? then imagine how it's like living under constant aerial bombardment. with no food, no water, no electricity. constant air-raid sirens. a bomb, dropping every minute. never knowing a moment a peace, always wondering if today is going to be your last day, if you and your family are still going to be here tomorrow.

could you stomach living in gaza, for even a day? i doubt it.

and still, now, on the eve of what might be the ground invasion of gaza — with one million palestinians being told to flee, with nowhere to go — i'm getting messages from people who demand my sympathy... for israel.

well, you're not getting it.

i'm not even humoring your hand-wringing.

if you live in israel, and you're one of the ones who've turned a blind-eye to the suffering of the palestinian people, if you've fought for the IDF or tacitly supported them, if you've callously called upon the memory of the holocaust thinking the death and suffering of your ancestors would wash the blood of your own hands....

then yeah, i think you deserve every single hamas rocked lobbed at you and so much more.
