Misuse Case Jan 29, 2024

"Pregnant women are also being subjected to caesareans without anaesthetic,"... The filing quotes the United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls… warning on Nov. 22 that "[T]he reproductive violence inflicted by Israel on Palestinian women, newborn babies, infants, and children could be qualified as… acts of genocide under Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention of Genocide."

South Africa's Genocide Case Against Israel Is Serious

Israel denounces it. The U.S. dismisses it. The International Court of Justice is hearing it. The rest of us can't flinch from reading it.

PSA: If you’re defending Israel as it carries out its genocide of the Palestinian people, you can fuck off. No ifs, no buts, no maybes… just fuck off.

Ways you can fuck off:

1. Unfollow me
2. Block me

Ways that don’t constitute fucking off:

1. Oozing your genocide-denying, complicit ass into my mentions.

But can’t we just all get along? No, we cannot all just get along with fascists who commit genocide and those that enable them.
