Israel committing genocide

Too many em dashes? What’s next? too much love? too much joy?

Today on Anthropocene new poetry by Simon Armitage 🍎🍒♠️🍐 anthropocenepoetry.org/post/folk-song…

You: - Hosted the head of the Israeli air force last week - Are currently training Israeli troops in the UK - Said Israel has the right to cut off water in Gaza (a war crime) - Haven't stopped arms sales - Haven't even recognised Palestine as a state You have enabled a genocide.

these same children who are starving to death right before our eyes tried holding press conferences begging us to save them in November 2023 and the world did nothing. I’ll genuinely never get over having to write these sentences as long as I live….the heart atrophies.

Gregory Orr:

nothing better to do on a sweltering day than feel this ache

they called it a famine in Ireland too

Write poetry. Replace verbs with extinct birds. Copy nothing. Edit with your non-dominant foot. Read aloud to your toaster. Walk like a moth. Think like a locked drawer. Live entirely in the subjunctive. Publish through interpretive dance.

Israel just assassinated the entire Al Jazeera crew in Gaza: fearless journalists and cameramen reporting the truth amid genocide. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity. Where are the Western journalists? Will they condemn this, or choose silence and complicity?
