Five Things To Prepare You For ALL THE BLOOD IS RED by Leone Ross A thread. Ahem. 🧵

Perspective

Yes! This is also why Omer Bartov's thread yesterday is completely wrong. Israel has no right to attack the people under its occupation. An occupying power with an army is held to standard that says it is ILLEGAL under international law to harm the people under its occupation.

especially as kids mimic the love and gentleness and care that was modeled to them, we are losing so much. these are the people i want to share a planet with, not the ones killing them

Ok, You've GOT to be kidding me! The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list, who are responsible for all of it - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...? So incredulity aside, what about the list

Once you see the sheer scale of the genocide and horrific destruction you understand why news networks like the CBC were pressured into not airing their own footage

This was the first arrival of Ukrainian Children brought to the U.K. for treatment in March ‘22, under The Tory Government. But this Labour government won’t help Palestinian children. Why is that?

If you hold a placard saying you support Palestine Action, you get nicked. If you hold a banner saying 'Kill 'Em All' outside a hotel housing asylum seekers, the police look the other way.

Same father, same child. Life before the genocide.

Israel kills a 11 year old girl for the crime of carrying water for her family

This is a Nazi-level genocidal speech. Sorry. There is no way to sugar coat it. He is bone-chillingly explaining his plans for his own Warsaw Ghetto, Madagascar Plan and Lidice Massacre. The willful destruction of civilian infrastructure to make life impossible

Rereading Joan Didion’s memoir The Year of Magical Thinking, I came again across this extraordinary passage — one of the finest descriptions of grief ever written.

100% of thai women reported being sexually assaulted in Israel. 100%. 654 people surveyed. yall.

I am terrified for my friends in Gaza City, for the hundreds of students who attend the school we set up, for the thousands of families who've had to flee dozens of times already in the past two years. Israel is closing the loop on this holocaust, slaughtering more and more

the conditions in gaza are very bad, perhaps the worst they have ever been, with intensified mass displacements & shrinking shelter/space ... & the mutual aid is also very slow, perhaps the slowest ... very worried about how people are going to get through this

Actually, many Nazi genocidal policies against European Jews did not involve mass killing of every Jew on sight (the Warsaw Ghetto, mass deportations and the Madagascar Plan, the Nuremberg Laws), which is why the definition, created by a Jew, is not restricted to mass killing

'israeli' jews kidnapped her, sent her family a different body wearing her clothes and official ID, then months later confirmed she was alive, but that they had given her a serious spinal injury that left her partially paralysed.

it feels almost counter productive to always have to point out that palestinians are a normal diverse people like any other, like those videos of tehran with captions saying 'it's like europe', because it implies that if it were more islamic it would be bad, which isn't the case,

Gaza City is being wiped out. The world is complicitly watching and supporting another genocidal escalation. Another “red line” is being crossed without military, political and economic consequences for Israel.

Man, how fucked up is this? The cops who shot Jean-Charles de Menezes in the tube with 8 bullets to his head were trained by Israelis.
