Not Blogging has not Improved the Blogging Situation

Well, trying to not talk about it has not had any effect than blogging about it constantly. Shit is all fucked up and - as I started noting incessantly way back in October - going to get worse.

There's no good news. The closest thing to good news is the ICJ is nearing the end of a week-long hearing on how illegal the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories is. Over 50 countries wanted to present and sll seemed to agree - even the US - that the occupation was illegal. The US however also believed that Israel is allowed to break the law and the ICJ has no jurisdiction, so we  have been clearly told what impact any ruling might have. Zero.

The IDF is going to invade Rafah. The last remaining city in the Gaza Strip, where a million displaced persons are sheltering in tents. You know that homeless encampment in the park that's bothering the fuck out of all the affluent downtown residents? Imagine that - but with a million people. Also, none of them have had regular meals for months.

I had mentioned before that the thing which fucking pushed me over the edge on the disaster unfolding before our eyes was when Biden questioned the death toll by calling the "Hamas run" Gaza Ministry of Health not worthy of trust. The Gaza Ministry of Health is the doctors and nurses and other hospital workers who have been trying to save lives in the bombed out hospitals of Gaza. The ones who have stayed in facilities they know the murderous IDF is obsessed with out of loyalty to their communities and patients. Fucking godamned heroes and Biden isn't worthy of being shat on by them. That's the thing that aggravated me into obsession myself.

So it should not have come as a surprise that UNRWA was the next target. The relief workers trying to distribute humanitarian aid in the conditions that exist in Gaza right now. Also fucking goddamned heroes. Gaza is not merely a "war zone". It's all four horsemen of the apocalypse - War, Death, Famine, and Pestilence - just riding free. And it's UNRWA that's been trying to slow their progress through the population of Gaza. And Biden thinks they should just fucking disappear.  UNRWA funding is going to be exhausted in maybe a couple of weeks because Joe Biden is a genocidal monster. Maybe Joe doesn't want to commit genocide himself - but he cares so little about preventing it that he will do his utmost best to ensure that the genocide is not impeded and can move along at the fastest speed allowable.

On the topic of Genocide Joe - apparently, he won't mince words.

Many of the replies to him were about how he absolutely is mincing words - by only identifying one source of all that suffering.  "But HAAAMMMOOSSE!". And that's a good observation. "I won't mince words - bad shit is happening, but let's not think about who is doing it or what anyone can do to prevent it from getting worse - which it has been - for four and a half months."

BUT here's the thing that isn't being noticed.  This is the statement that Joe thinks is some brave and controversial position - something that's "not mincing words":

The overwhelming majority of Palestinians are not Hamas. And Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.

That's the statement he thinks is so shocking and controversial that he needs to preface it with "I won't mince words." 

Fuck you Genocide Joe.  Just go fuck yourself.
