What you are about to see is no work of fiction—it is a broadcast from Jabalia City, filmed amidst the airstrikes unleashed by Israeli forces [with American arms] upon the people of Gaza, Palestine.
We believe this footage, these raw moments of inhumanity, transcend any story we might tell, any horror we might conjure. Though it was not our plan to take on this responsibility, we feel that with the reach of our platform, it is our obligation to cast a light on these real-life horrors. Halloween may be our busiest season, but there are horrors in this world that no mask, no costume can conceal.
And so, we have chosen to cancel all further Halloween programming. The true terror now lies not in ghouls or ghosts, but in the actions unfolding before us—a terror that can only be ended through direct action and organization by the working class people of the world.
We invite you to watch. Bear witness. The world’s nightmares cannot be escaped. They must be faced.
