#Gaza We watched this last night. It was the most traumatic thing I hsve ever seen. It shows how systematically Israel has destroyed Gaza’s healthcare system and killed doctors. This is ongoing - just yesterday many killed at Indonesian hospital.

I feel irrevocably alienated from all the lovely people around me who choose to just ignore all this. Not watch, not see. For almost two years the most barbaric slaughter, aided by our governments here.

#Gaza i mean, was it like this when the images of the horrors of the concentration camps came out in 1945? Lovely middle class liberals going: “too much for me to bear, I am a sensitive person, my children will never be allowed to see this” and this being an entirely accepted, applauded, rational, majority position?

@pvonhellermannn I think the situation is more comparable to Poland 1939 to 1941 when it comes to public awareness and opinion. Then Jews could still be described as terrorists and murder was downplayed. At least in Sweden.

@pvonhellermannn FWIW there was a front page story about Sudan, and how the loss of US aid is directly starving children to death, on the front page of the Wash Post on Sunday. It’s right in front of the nose of the lovely middle class liberals, if they choose to look.

@pvonhellermannn I mean, they are using starving people in Gaza for target practice now. And yet the winner of the Democratic mayoral primary in NYC is being labeled and derided for talking about Gaza at all. The mainstream liberals look at people living in the Fox bubble with pity, but they are in their own bubble on this. I think they know. They just don’t want to be the one to raise the subject and get shot down for it.

@pvonhellermannn there wouldn't have been any Nuremberg trials at all if the French hasn't insisted upon it. British and US leadership wanted to just brush it all under the rug. So, yeah
