#the news is so fucking horrible#my therapist told me a long time ago that I should take a step back from social media#like a year or two before the pandemic#bc i was in a state of having constant panic attacks that would trigger throat spasms that made it difficult to breath or swallow#anyway I get triggered by constant bad news bc of my shitty nervous system#but it’s calmed down enough where I felt safe coming back to at least tumblr#but god this past week with everything that’s happening in Gaza#me and my partner have been losing it#I don’t understand how we can watch the US gov and Israelí gov literally team up to steamroll an entire people in the span of a few weeks#and I don’t understand why some people find it appropriate to nitpick who’s more oppressed here#like guys hear me out#this might sound crazy#but I think the people trapped in occupied territory currently being bombed and raided rn don’t care about your identity politics#when ppl say that their government are going to another country to /eradicate evil/ in order to prevent another holocaust from happening#um#it’s horrifying#bc capitalism/fascism/hate has justified genocide#via the story of /we have a right to defend ourselves/#why is it so easy to dehumanize an entire group of people#how did it get to this point?#and tbh I don’t care about the history#this is about how people agree to go to war bc it’s okay if /they/ are the ones doing the oppressing#how you can say /innocent people in Gaza are dying/ and someone else can respond with /it’s not Israel’s problem bc hamas is a terrorist/#how can you sit there and comfort yourself with this hollow narrative when infrastructure is being destroyed via US funded bombs#their water supply cut their bodies catching diseases#a call to denounce the gov for their actions is not an antisemítico stance#people are dying people are dying people are dying and we keep saying never forget but people are still dying#I feel like I’m choking#I pray for the people of Palestine and the land and the olive groves
