This didn’t start on October 7th. Gaza has been an open-air prison for nearly two decades — sealed off, starved, and suffocated by Israeli blockades. Israel controls its airspace, borders, electricity, and access to clean water. Even before the bombs dropped, Gaza was barely surviving. Now? It’s a graveyard. The death toll is staggering. Journalists, aid workers, doctors, and entire families wiped off the map — while U.S.-funded weapons light up the sky like it's the goddamn Fourth of July.
We’re being told this is “war.” No. This is a military superpower unleashing collective punishment on a stateless, starving population with nowhere to run. Children are being pulled from rubble, schools and hospitals are targeted, and humanitarian aid is a PR stunt with a body count. And our government — our tax dollars — are co-signing every atrocity with blank checks and mealy-mouthed statements about “self-defense.”
Here’s what we do: Call your reps. Demand a permanent ceasefire. Boycott. Divest. Protest. Share Palestinian voices. Don’t let apathy be your alibi. Because if your humanity has conditions, it was never humanity to begin with.
