My god. Why oh why are the USians so beholden to these terrorists. Will we see this stop in our lifetimes??? I sure hope so 💔

"If you support Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state, you must support the holocaust and now ethnocide"

Gaza is the litmus test for our morality,

a strip of land, a strip of paper,

dipped in the acid of war.

Watch the color change.

Do we see a rose, blooming in the rubble,

or just the grey of shrugged statistics?

Do we hear the anthem of the steadfast,

or the static of a muted news feed?

The test is not for them, crouched in the dark,

their sky a geometry of fire.

The test is for the distant, the safe, the full—

for the hand that turns the page,

for the eye that glazes over,

for the heart that has learned to ration its outrage.

It measures our capacity for grief

for a people not our own.

It calibrates the precision of our empathy,

the distance it can travel before it fails.

It asks the child in London, the student in Berlin,

the farmer in Kansas, the trader in Tokyo:

What is the exchange rate for a child’s cry?

How many ghosts fit on your screen before you look away?

Gaza is the litmus test, and the result is in.

It stains the hands of the bomber,

and the hands of the silent.

It reveals the true pH of our prayers—

whether they are alkaline with healing,

or corrosive with excuse.

The paper has turned a shocking crimson.

The question now, for history, is simple:

Did we see the color,

and did we call it blood?

They blackmail every one of any power or influence in the USA. If the person cannot be blackmailed, they get rid of them. We just saw that happen with Massie.

And today we saw that happen with Trump. Sooo close to a deal with Iran…until BB called.

Right?! Yet no surprise that he’s so easy to control.

The Judeo-Christian contagion

It began not with a bang, but a breath,

a whispered law on barren stone,

a single thread, a filament of faith

to stitch a world of chaos to a throne.

A virus of the absolute, it spread,

a taxonomy of soul and sin,

that mapped the wilderness inside the head

and walled the ancient, tangled world within.

It touched the water and the common cup,

it blessed the sword and sanctified the crown,

a great inversion, teaching us to look not up,

but down on all the gardens not our own.

It fevered nations with a promised end,

a linear history, a chosen race,

to every question, one truth to append,

and leave no uncontested, sacred space.

The body, once a temple of desire,

became a suspect thing, a source of shame,

its instincts doused in apocalyptic fire,

its pleasures given a devil's name.

And we, the carriers, the long-possessed,

who bear this heritage in blood and bone,

now feel the old and aching unrest—

the ghost of something wild, overthrown.

Is it the sickness, or the only cure?

The prison walls, or the foundation stone?

The contagion that we must, at last, endure,

or the fever-dream we now outgrow?

Israel has crossed the line a long time ago. They went from defending their country to all out murdering innocent children.

they’ve been a genocidal nation since the beginning. they have never NOT been a genocidal nation.

It was never Isr@el’s land. It was land taken from its indigenous inhabitants.

Over and over, a Colonial enterprise with vicious settlers, like the American West was.

October 7th was a false flag

Yes and many many more

Look up the Nakba of the 1940's

I am in tears ... every day for years brings yet another proof point that we have not really evolved in 10,000 years. Thank you for reporting the truth no one else will cover.

A second genocide 😭

It is time to liberate Palestine.

I hope to God this is not true.

Books Behind Borders's avatar

It’s true. I have never lied to my readers, nor will I ever.

krissyleigh's avatar

can you find a pic that isn’t ai? this is stressing me out. i fear people will give up on information all together.

Bernard Doug Cook's avatar

Understood, what I'm saying is that there are some who maintain the one-sided so-called Gaza war was, as I believe both the Iran war & the Ukraine war certainly are, a hoax perpetrated by Israel & the USA, with their so-called friends, concocted for a variety of reasons. Idk what to think about Gaza nor what to think about much of what is fed to us as so much fear-inducing pablum...maybe that's the aim, just to keep piling fear on top of fear. (??)

Color me suspicious but wouldn't be surprised if October the 7th was a premeditated setup to wipe out Gaza and the Palestinians so they could proceed with development of their big white luxury resort.

That transnational crime syndicate reaches from one end of the globe to the other and all of the filthy, obscenely rich people are running it.

Friendly reminder -American citizens are objects now - we're not really people - so when they get ready to eradicate us you'll know in advance by way of Gaza.

Same people same MO.

Spunty's avatar

You don't have to be surprised. The receipts are already in that it was a premeditated setup.

Israel bombed Jewish people in Beirut in 1982. They seem more intent on joining the Muslim wars between the two factions of Islam, and against Christians

Just remember that the death cult called the “IDF” aren’t jews. You don’t want to be labeled as “antisemitic”, right? {end snark}

Tom Martin's avatar

We need to stop all the killing. Especially the evil that is done by Hamas and Hezbollah, but also the massively disproportionate killing by Israel in self defence. An eye for an eye was to limit retaliation, not a minimum for revenge... 🕊

Gary’S's avatar

If anyone truly believes that the terrorist actions of Hamas and Hezbollah are worse than the terrorist actions of the jewish, Israeli, Zionist state; this “anyone” is certifiably insane. And not in a good way. In a malignant and malevolent way. The jews are a combination of cancer and an infestation of parasites and dementia. OTOH, they are YHWH’s chosen tribe.

Where does your voice go when you are no more?

Your voice does not vanish—it learns to hide

in the hush of a room after you’ve gone,

in the creak of a stair or a jar undone,

in the radio left on low all night.

It slips through the cracks of a half‑closed door,

clings to the dust where your laughter swam,

becomes the pause in a telephone line,

the shape of a name on a stranger’s tongue.

Some of it nests in a rusted key,

some of it waits in the copper rain,

some of it loops on an old cassette

till the ribbon frays and the music fades—

but even then, it hums in the ache.

And when the last ear that remembered goes,

your voice untethers, a sparrow’s ghost,

and stitches itself to the wind’s bright hem—

no longer yours, but a thread of the air,

unanswered, unending, and everywhere.
