On October 17th, our platform, which is not primarily a news outlet, was among the few to cover the attack on the Baptist Hospital in Gaza. We covered this attack because we saw clearly the bias of the mainstream media, the dehumanizing, pro-genocide rhetoric of imperalist mouthpieces like Anderson Cooper. Our resources for news reporting are limited, as the task primarily rests on an individual without a dedicated team. That said, it is with great pain that I report the most harrowing of realities from the heart of the Palestinian genocide.
As of January 23rd, it appears that all hospitals in the region have been targeted and are now non-operational. Initial reports indicated there were around 23 hospitals, although this number might not be precise. The Israeli military campaign in Gaza seems to have focused on causing extensive damage to civilian infrastructure. This strategy, documented in various reports, aims to compel resistance fighters to surrender. However, this approach has not achieved its intended goal. Over the past four months, it's estimated that nearly 40,000 civilians have been murdered by Israel with United States manufactured and supplied weapons, a figure that is extraordinary on a global scale. And now they've destroyed every hospital in the Gaza Strip. Every single one. I have yet to see a video of an Israeli soldier going toe-to-toe with a Hamas fighter, have you? I have yet to see a video of Hamas having... Where's their armored brigade? Where are their helicopters? Where's their artillery? This isn't a traditional army. No more so than the Americans resisting the Russian invasion during the cold war classic Red Dawn, were a traditional army. It is abundantly clear, even to the most layman of laymen, that this is an ethnic cleansing campaign fueled by a deadly combination of Capitalism and Settler Colonialism, as well as a healthy dose of Islamophobia. My take on why Genocide Joe is so hell bent on murdering children? He's mad his son got smoked in Afghanistan. You notice how he just spaces out sometimes? Eyes get all wide? He's having visions of joining his son in hell, on some real Event Horizon shit.
Additionally, genocides are happening in regions like Tigray and Sudan, and a significant displacement crisis, involving millions of people, is unfolding in the Congo. While I may lack the depth of knowledge to provide comprehensive commentary on these issues, I urge readers of my blog and articles to directly seek information from credible sources. I recommend the BDS movement and
Electronic Intifada, among other platforms, for insights into the perspectives of the Palestinian people, rather than relying solely on secondary sources like the Agora. And if you're like me an run a website, a platform, please remember to center the voices of the oppressed over yourself, especially in this context. No one knows more about the Palestinian struggle than the Palestinians themselves.
With that said, 5,000 to 7,000 people read my website every week. We've been reporting on this as best we can from the beginning, and I'm going to continue to report on this. Every single hospital in Gaza has been destroyed by the Israeli and American forces. (Need I remind you American troops are already boots on the ground, murdering civilians with impunity). This is unacceptable from a humanitarian standpoint. It's unacceptable from a war standpoint. It's a terrible strategy, and quite frankly, it disgusts me to know that America could easily, with a single phone call, end this, but instead we don't. The entire Israeli and American states must be totally and utterly dismantled. No more settler colonialism.
I just want everyone to remember that the reason that our kids in our schools don't have books is the same reason that the kids in Palestine have bombs in their schools.
