I just spent an hour going through her instagram and reading her comments. There’s a lot of death, yes, but also a lot of life. It would be so hard to see the good amongst what’s going on over there. She was very talented and it’s sad that she won’t get to see her work in Cannes - at least she knew before the end.
One of the posts was about someone who lost 12 family members in a missile strike. Eerie concidence… or maybe that kind of story is more common than we could possibly know.
The photos and videos taken before this latest shitstorm were photos just like any other average person. Someone skateboarding, kids playing, photos of buildings in the light… watching the transformation as I scrolled back up towards the top was heartbreaking.

I hope I live to see that fascist state smashed and dismantled.
I would bet my annual salary that Israeli will never face any consequences for this mess
You can’t kill an idea. They will, even if indirectly.
It may take 200 years, but it will happen. Not only because every empire falls, but also because you can’t just get away with bullying your neighbors forever. Someday the wind will turn
*Slaughtering your neighbors
Ftfy
I’d love to make a history joke about them getting to learn a new lesson every few centuries, but that mere joke itself might legitimize their absolute bullshit claims on the land. Israel was formed in 1948 because of a bunch of segregationist assholes who wanted to fuck with brown people and Russians.
Statements like this only further justify the Israeli security apparatus.
How?
It makes sense, if you equivocate the Israeli State with all Israeli people, or even all Jewish people. I don’t, just as I wouldn’t equivocate the Nazi German State with all Germanic peoples the world over.
Everyone in this thread: I want Israel shattered, and it’s people cast into the sea!
Half the Jews on earth: OK, well we’re not going to let that happen to us without a fight. In fact, since you all keep trying, we’re going to take proactive steps to make your goal basically impossible.
Everyone in this thread: why do you love genocide so much?
Us: We hate Nazi Germany! Down with Hitler!
You: Heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil (etc.)
Us: Why do you love genodice so much?
Edit:
Also it bears repeating, because you’re actively ignoring it, but we’re not calling for the death or Israelis or Jewish people generally, but specifically the fascist state that is commiting crimes against humanity in their name. The insistence that those two are one and the same is just fascist propaganda.
I fucking hate israel. Jews are cool they can hang out. Because most cool Jews also hate Israel.
Out of curiosity, do you have a source for the belief that most Jews hate Israel? Not disputing it necessarily, just curious where you get that impression from.
A quick search pulled up this study about American Jews that seems to show that even the most sympathetic age demographics display 50% or more approval for how Israel has handled the conflict. If you’ve got different numbers about Jews worldwide, I’d be interested to see them:
There are no cool Jews that like Israel. Because that would make you un-cool.
This cool Jew hates Israel. Hope that helps 😉
Note that I said ‘most cool Jews’. I’ve met a number of outspoken expats that have flavored my perception, and there’s a broad swath that oppose the country’s actions but you’re right, there’s a metric fuckton of uncool Jews out there.
Sorry, my brain skipped over the word cool and read “most Jews”. No doubt that there are Jews who acknowledge what is actually happening, it is just disconcerting to see how far some people will bend over backwards to make excuses for their own team.
I have this argument with my family all the time when they try to act like there is something to redeem here in America—it is a strength to admit when the rot has spread and the limb can’t be saved in its current form.
Israelis and Jews in general have been victims of a massive pro-genocide propaganda campaign from the Israeli government for many, many years now. Not everyone buys into the propaganda, though.
Kind of similar dehumanizing rhetoric as we’re seeing in America right now when it comes to immigrants and trans people or the cold war rhetoric of the past when it came to Russians.
There are no winners in war (except for banana companies and Big Oil).
Honestly it’s a real fucking bummer. As someone who grew up in an era where a common wish for lottery winners and trophy winners was “peace in the Middle East” in regards to Israel and all of its neighbors, the recent escalation in Gaza has given a lot of us an excuse to learn a lot more about the actual history and unforgivable atrocities that have occurred since the early fifties.
Slightly more than 50% of all people are at least somewhat uncool, in my estimation, and that of course includes Jews, so thanks for confirming that!
If you didn’t scream “WITNESS ME!” before death, was it actually loud?
Ah today’s batch of fresh horrors has arrived.
Fucking hell. The courage of this person. That poem at the end nearly broke me.
I support vigilante justice against zionists, since it’s the only justice they will ever receive.
Well, I bet it was loud!
Sorry, I had to… don’t ban me
You suck.
The world is so much worse without her.
But hell yeah, sister, she set an achievable goal!
They certainly got what they asked for.
Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it.
