This is the reality facing us. Land loss. Mass migration. Misery. And yet we carry on as if it were science fiction rather than the truth obscured by money, misplaced power and magical thinking.

DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD AND WATER IN TO GAZA. This is from Lemkin Institute begging..... we are all begging.
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is
calling on every single leader in the world: DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD &
WATER INTO GAZA RIGHT AWAY. Even if it takes bypassing the reports, meetings, endless conferences, parliamentary sessions, UN sessions, and all the other regular diplomatic
channels that have led nowhere. Just do it. Genocide must not be allowed to continue while we all
watch. We must not allow mass starvation in Gaza.
We cannot wait any longer. IF YOU HAVE POWER, USE IT. HISTORY WILL DEMONSTRATE THE RECTITUDE OF
YOUR ACTIONS.

You’d think someone might ask why distributing aid in Gaza has proceeded like the opening twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan, every day, for weeks. Is it normal to fire machine guns at starving civilians trying to collect flour? Because we are currently at one, two or three massacres *per day*.
