content notice for this issue: genocide in Palestine, medical sexual assault
Ceasefire Now.
Humanitarian Aid Now.
Liberation Now.
Lately, I’ve been looking up synonyms to find the exact words for how I’m feeling and what is happening to Palestinians, Congolese, Sudanese, Armenians, and others. Devastation. Catastrophe. Heartbreak. Disaster. Inhumane. Indiscriminate violence. Ruthless. Vicious. Life-altering. Radicalizing. Colonization televised. White supremacy on social media. Wholesale war crimes. Western-funded and justified murder.
There is no need to equivocate on the facts related to Palestine: current events are well-established, and in that recognition so many are now able to understand the history in context. What has been and is now happening on an advanced timeline is genocide. If you are uncertain about using that word, perhaps consider it alongside its synonyms:
carnage
massacre
mass murder
slaughter
annihilation
decimation
ethnic cleansing
mass execution
race extermination
race murder
genocide
Ceasefire Now.
Stop the Genocide.
Free Palestine.
Let This Radicalize you.
