Israel says they’re blocking food in Gaza because HAMAS is stealing food from the civilians and the starvation in Gaza is entirely HAMAS’ doing.

Let’s play Devil’s advocate for a second here.

Assuming Israel was telling the truth: blocking food will starve out HAMAS? And HAMAS still has Israeli hostages?

If HAMAS starts starving, they will feed themselves before they feed the hostages. At least according to Israel.

And Israel says they’re trying really hard to get the hostages back alive?

Hmm… no.

There is no reality where these can all be true.

Starving Gaza of their food supply to starve HAMAS would starve the hostages.

Palestinians have already been dying from starvation.

There is no long game where they can starve Gaza and expect to get the hostages back alive.

Period.

But this is a state that claims to be Jewish. Thus representing the Jewish diaspora.

Many Israeli civilians are happy to see Palestinian civilians die. Men, women, children, newborns. Be they Muslim, Christian, or Jewish.

Israel operates off of white, Jewish superiority.

Minorities, including Holocaust survivors, are treated like shit.

Denied access to bomb shelters.

After Israel bombed Iran without cause, the borders were closed. Flights cancelled. No Israelis were allowed to leave.

IDF buildings are purposely based in residential areas, using civilians as human shields.

Israel likes to play victim, but they have bombed Palestine, Yemen, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq without having ever been hit first (the aggression against the Palestinian people has been going on for 7 decades. Long before October 2023)

Back to the hostages: Israel repeatedly broke the ceasefire agreement during which hostages were set to be exchanged.

And before that? Israel was bombing indiscriminately, and had no idea where the hostages were being held.

Meaning, they were more concerned about killing Palestinians than in ensuring the hostages didn’t become collateral damage.

On top of that, the IDF killed three of the hostages. Three Israeli hostages managed to escape, waved a makeshift white flag, and still got shot.

And what did they say? Oopsie.

Bombed World Central Kitchen workers in a marked truck while they were exactly where they had communicated they would be.

Killed paramedics, dug a hole to hide the bodies and the ambulance. When they got caught? Oops, our bad.

Killed more journalists than during the entirety of WWII in JUST a few months (following October 7th 2023)

An average of thirteen journalists a month thus far.

Mosques, Synagogues, Churches, schools, apartment buildings, and hospitals have been destroyed.

At one of the hospitals, the IDF forcibly removed staff. Including the NICU, where they were forced to leave infants behind to die.

South Africa has spoken out against Israel.

Ireland has spoken out against Israel.

The International Criminal Court has a warrant out for Netanyahu.

The Torah forbids the existence of a Jewish state.

Practicing Judaism means no Israeli state.

And yet Zionists claim their actions are because they are Jews, and speaking out against them is antisemitic.

Rabbis have spoken about this.

Jews, famous and otherwise, have spoken about this.

Bernie Sanders. Mandy Patinkin. Wallace Shawn. Gianmarco Soresi. Jewish Voice for Peace.

Zionism’s misrepresentation of Judaism is a breeding ground for antisemitism.

People being called antisemitic come in three flavors:

1. Those who legitimately hate Jews.

2. Those who know what Judaism teaches well enough to call out Israel on their lies and are attacked to be silenced

3. People who know nothing about Jews, but know Israel is conflated with Jewish people, sees what Israel is doing, assumes Judaism actually supports war crimes, and believes that they do actually hate Jews because they misunderstand the situation.

The rise in antisemitism has been artificially inflated by ignorance and lies.

Not unlike the islamophobia that grew due to the lies told about Muslim beliefs following 9/11.

Israel has destroyed boats attempting to bring food, formula, diapers, and water to Gaza.

Most recently, two of them were stoped and the passengers unlawfully apprehended in international waters.

There are thousands of people waiting to move onto the land where Palestinians have lived all their lives. Just waiting for the Palestinians to be killed or forcibly removed.

Imagine that for a second.

Let’s say… Texans wanted to move to Oklahoma. But Oklahoma is inhabited.

So Texas starts bombing Oklahoma. Blocking aid from coming in. Destroying crops. Arresting people for standing up for themselves, and painting them as the bad people. To the point other states start sending money and weapons to Texas.

Feel like that doesn’t matter?

Imagine your snobby neighbors want to force you from your home, bulldoze your house, and incorporate your land into a golf course where you won’t even be allowed to visit.

You resist, you get painted as some unhinged person who just hates golf. The denial that your property ownership was ever real.

Can you imagine it now? Maybe a little?

And now, the IDF is preparing to move in and forcibly remove these starving people from their own land. Land that is not Israel’s to occupy, police, or commit genocide on.

This is worse than what this country did to Native Americans.

Why?

Because the truth is readily available at your fingertips and people still refuse to believe it’s happening right now.

You can try to make this significantly different from the holocaust in your mind.

You can have a feel good conversation saying you would’ve stood against the Nazis.

But if you aren’t vocally critical of the genocide against the Palestinian people, they’re only pretty lies.

There are no gas chambers. There are no barracks.

Gaza and the West Bank are open air prisons.

Palestinians are forbidden from swimming or fishing in the sea.

When they go to the few places food is being distributed, the IDF opens fire on them.

This isn’t a war. It has never been a war. It’s a murder.

And whereas a war is worse than hell, because there are civilians… innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.

And this… this murder… is worse still. Because it is almost exclusively civilians. Only a handful of HAMAS members have been killed, and that’s by Israel’s admission. (One of whom was, supposedly, hiding among thousands of innocent civilians in a refugee camp)

While people are droning on about the rights of a fetus, and labeling abortion as murder… without getting into it over the children whose access to food, clean water, and medical care in this country has been deemed less essential than our military, among other things… we are watching men, women, and breathing children be starved to death, beaten, or shot for simply existing. If there are any pregnant women in Gaza, whether you consider their fetuses to be human lives or not, they are not going to be viable. They will never get to be born.

And Israelis have been brainwashed not only to not fight against that, but to openly celebrate it and mock the victims.

Their mindset is: “the only good Arab is a dead Arab.”

Jews from around the world who have visited Israel have spoken to the treatment of Arabs who live or work near majority Israeli occupied areas. Treatment which they find abhorrent. Treatment which has, rightfully, alienated them to everything Israel stands for.

We can talk about the notion that war in the Middle East will lead to the end times… but “defending” Israel… funding Israel… arming Israel is not what will prevent it.

It is what will cause it.

Israel shoots first, and will lie to your face afterward. Claiming it to be self defense.

But that doesn’t fly for civilians.

Only for fascists.

If you get a battery charge for punching someone in the face, claiming they were about to hit you so you hit them first is not going to work as a legal defense.

Grief took the express train.

And ran my ass over.

I have good days,

And I have bad days.

This… seems to be turning out to be the latter

I want a phone call.

But I’m fine.

Okay, that’s a lie. (Coriolanus would be disappointed)

But I’ll be okay after I cry my eyes out again.

[issacharmastersdp18]

Okay, so…

I don’t get the opportunity to watch college basketball very often.

And I’m seeing these players foul out of the game

And then they’re back on the court later

I’ve tried searching the NCAA rules

As far as I can tell

Once you foul out, you’re out for the remainder of the game.

So why are these aggressive af players back in the game?

My team won, and that’s great!

But I still wonder if rules were disregarded for some reason.

Is React channel trying to trick people into watching them again, post ageism debacle, by using new channel names?

Or am I giving them too much credit in their manipulation skills?

[issacharmastersdp18]

I know the two exist independent of one another, but

In my mind

“Be Careful What You Wish For”

Is the theme song for

We Happy Few.

Dear Ion Mystery case files,

Lieutenant Horatio Caine is, shocker, a Lieutenant. Not a captain.

[issacharmastersdp18]

Donald Sutherland’s book was set to be released today, but was quietly rescheduled to be released February 3rd, 2026.

Why?

Well, the article I just read suggests it’s because he got “too candid” about his sexual relationships.

I read an article from earlier this year that Kiefer and the family had not yet read the book because Donald was still editing it three days before his passing.

I’ve seen nothing thus far of the family commenting on this news.

Frankly, it should come as no surprise that he would be so open on the page.

He was a reasonably private man, but not terribly shy about his past. He also notoriously spoke “in paragraphs,” which was amplified in his letter writing.

If anything, this feels like an attempt to stifle some of his last words.

Something which I feel is INCREDIBLY DISRESPECTFUL to his memory.

Donald was larger than life and you can’t just water down his life because it MIGHT not be appropriate for all audiences.

Donald was someone who kept little to himself if he got comfortable around you. There’s a rather nice interview from Playboy that illustrates this perfectly. (It includes mentions of the first time he masturbated, the first time he kissed a girl, and the thing he regretted most about his life up until that point was that he hadn’t had more sex, just to give you a clue)

The man was open to notes, but I can guarantee they’ll be pulling far more information from it than he would approve.

And the article had the AUDACITY to suggest his openness in the book was due to his being ill (in whatever way he was ill).

There’s article upon article with snippets of stories about his sex life, and that’s just the ones approved for the general public who would be reading those magazines.

The man’s life, even when not behind closed doors, was hardly PG.

An interaction with one of the stars of “Die! Die! My Darling!” (Not while working on that particular project, if I recall correctly), working with Federico Fellini, a rather uncomfortably intimate, heavily choreographed “sex” scene expertly edited by Nic Roeg to trick the brain into seeing what isn’t actually there, Donald’s bare ass being shown as a joke for the rushes that ultimately made it to theatrical release of Animal House.

His wife is French Canadian. When they met, he didn’t speak French and she didn’t speak English. Naturally, their early on communication methods were largely physical.

(And based of what was allowed to print in magazines over the years, I can imagine just how much more “candid” this candidness may have gotten, so I am not saying any of this lightly or solely out of anger. I do have a working understanding of the kind of things they are alluding to him having written)

Listen…

I am ace spec.

I am not the most comfortable hearing or reading about other people (real or fictional) and the ways in which they choose to be intimate with each other.

So believe me when I say: I DO NOT CARE HOW “CANDID” HE GOT. LET US READ THE DAMN THING.

If censorship insists on continuing, those of us who preordered the book should at least be given the option of receiving the book with or without the censorship.

We should not all be required to wait another 15 months just because some editor got all hot and bothered with their panties in a twist.

These people do not know with whom they are fucking.

Donald Sutherland’s vengeful ghost is not something anyone would willingly sign up to deal with.

I guaran-fucking-tee the man has been hanging around this whole time.

Donald, by all accounts, was one of the sweetest people to ever live.

That said, an angry Donald Sutherland is one of the scariest things you will ever see.

Bless you for the information

Amazon, why you gotta do me like this?

One season, with a cliffhanger season finale, and you don’t give me any closure?

If I didn't know it was based on a book series with MANY more stories to follow, I’d actually be concerned that one of my favorite main characters might die.

Canadian actor, Martin Short, is Jack Frost in the North Pole while it’s being passed off as a Canadian toy factory.

It’s so unbelievably meta. I love it!

He isn’t my all time favorite Canadian (no surprise to some of you), but Martin Short is way up there on the list.

But what he loves is Katniss Everdeen. Oh, he just adores her. [...] So I guess maybe the thing you love the most does destroy you.

RottenTomatoes Interview

So, Reluctant Werewolf was on last night.

And I notice Frankenstein is married to someone called Repulsa.

Which, naturally, reminded me of Revolta from Ghoul School. (in name and, slightly, appearance)

And I got an idea.

Head canon, naturally.

They aren’t the same person, but they are the same species.

So, Mr. Frankenteen and Frankenstein could be related.

And Repulsa and Revolta could be, distantly, related.

Supposing there was a messy divorce or somebody prevented a relationship existing…

That could, possibly, explain Revolta’s beef with the Universal-esque monsters.

Because she want’s power, but she deliberately goes about it by targeting the children of said monsters.

Just a little food for thought, and

a little observational humor.

Muscles? What do you want? A recurrence of the first two Hellraiser films?

Because THAT is almost exactly what you’d get.
