Gaza now an extermination camp

.

Gaza was for 16 years a concentration camp, Now it is an extermination camp.

Israel is engaged in a fascist genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

There is almost nothing else to be said in this moment except to note:

(a) The ongoing support of nearly all the western political class for this genocide.

(b) The complicity of the racist western media in manufacturing consent for it; endlessly replaying the events of October 7th and dishonestly framing the industrial slaughter of innocent civilians trapped in Gaza as a war. The Guardian is perhaps the most racist and shameful actor in this disinformation. 

(c) I understand why many are reluctant to face this truth and why many may also be frightened of the potential cost of sharing it.

But as over 2 million innocent people face death at the hands of fascists in Gaza – most women and children – we must not reflect on the costs of speaking the truth – we must only ask:

WHAT IS THE COST OF LIES?
