Imagine some more




Yesterday, old Genocidal Izzy voted to ban the eight-decade-old United Nations relief agency UNRWA from operating within Israel. It is amazing to me, that a member of the United Nations can pass legislation that opposes the United Nations charter and violates Izzy's obligations under International Law. Naturally, foreign ministers from France, Germany, Britain, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Australia all expressed grave concern. Like really, really, seriously grave concern. Even the old US of A was concerned. But then I think they all got really busy and had to rush back to their desks to sign off on more bombs, jets, jet parts, and drones, and approve more arms deals with Izzy. But they were all really, really concerned.


They can all shove their grave concern. I don't know why we are willing to tear it all down, humanitarian law, international law, and everything else that was supposed to be some sort of standard of humanity for one vile entity.


I wish we could all just imagine for one moment the unimaginable. What it must be like to be Palestinian, or Lebanese, or anyone in the Levant whose lives are worth less than others. Then try to imagine a world where there is no world order. In all honesty, you don't have to imagine very hard, just scroll through your Instagram feed for a minute or two to see what type of hell a place with no world order resembles. It is called North Gaza. It is called Gaza, It is called the West Bank and Lebanon where it is no longer possible to estimate the dead.


Imagine some more.

 

Imagine.

Imagine living a life that people can’t bear to watch.

Imagine dying a death that nobody wants to talk about.

Imagine living with horror that the ‘civilised’ world denies.

Imagine fighting for freedom and being advised that is not your right.

Imagine.

Then imagine some more.
