To expand on my last point about the irresponsibility of debating genocide: the thing is, after more than 80 days of this genocide being literally televised and widely shared, we just cannot be having the same old discussions about Palestine.

How are we going to have the same conversation about “Hamas this, Hamas that”, “Israel’s right to exist this, bullshit that” when we have lived through the past 80 days watching a tally of an ever increasing number of Palestinians killed by Israel, now reaching over 21,000? We have seen so many instances that many had originally thought “how can Israel recover from this?” and yet here we are after numerous hospitals being bombed, refugee camps shelled, entire residential blocks levelled to the ground, men and women stripped and tortured and executed in football fields.

Not only are these discussions futile in nature as you discuss your humanity with your oppressor, but they had clearly not done anything to stop the bloodshed caused by Israel in the past 75+ years, let alone the past 80 days. These “discussions” are simply Zionists’ favourite pastime to distract from the actual hell we are witnessing and deflect from being held accountable for enabling a literal genocide.

Simply put, conversations about Palestine can no longer centre the aggressor and go through their talking points first to finally be able to discuss the ongoing genocide they’re committing against Palestinians. For a start, shift your focus and make telling Zionists to shut the fuck up an integral part of your daily routine.
