israel tries to hide its military failures and losses by murdering children and civilians in their tents so they can have a *number of casualties* to report with and pretend they did something.

In case you missed it:

Yesterday, the US House voted to hide Gaza death toll statistics.

This is far more than just institutional genocide denial.

This is one half of American Congress giving a foreign nation green light to kill: with billions of dollars and a blind eye.

(This measure, if passed in Senate, would make it illegal for the US State Department to cite genocide statistics.)

In other words, illegal to do its job.

Denial is key part of committing a genocide. The USA is working through all the stages.

There are no words to describe the hunger that people are enduring in Gaza, according to Ali, a Palestinian in Gaza.

Residents of the Palestinian enclave say Israeli authorities are severely restricting life-saving food deliveries once again, bringing back the extreme conditions experienced in March, leading to the death of at least four children from malnutrition just last week.

The UN's hunger monitoring system, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), released a report on Tuesday showing that a "high risk of famine persists across the whole Gaza Strip".

The report said more than 20% of the Palestinian enclave's population, over 495,000, are now facing "catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity" involving "an extreme lack of food, starvation, and exhaustion".

The IPC found that while aid deliveries to northern Gaza increased in March and April, and found their way to the south too, the situation had deteriorated in recent weeks.

The report found that over half of households in Gaza reported that they often have no food to eat in the house, and over 20% go entire days and nights without eating.

"We don't know how much more can we endure of this," says Ali. "Every day we fall apart and break down. Every day is worse than the day before it."

It's actually really frightening to see officially sanctioned genocide denial rise up in Western countries in real time. Like, I remember 20 years ago hearing about how it was illegal in Turkey to point out that the Armenian Genocide happened, and how I thought that that was fucking evil and oppressive. Now here we are, with a campaign in Gaza that experts have called 'a textbook case of genocide', for which the UN Human Rights counsel has determined there are "reasonable grounds" to call it genocide, and the US Congress is trying to make it illegal to criticize Israel. We have Hollywood agencies refusing to represent anyone who points out that a genocide is currently taking place. And it's just the same shit from a fresh asshole as we got from the Turkish government over what happened in Armenia in the 1920s, like "Oh yes, there were killings, but...calling it genocide? Ohhhh, you must be very hateful to our poor little nation to think that our people are capable of that 😢 😭!" Fuck off.

I have literally lost faith in humanity.

a family bids farewell to their babygirl minutes ago, on the first day of Eid. Palestinians can't even celebrate without occupation bombardment.

this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and don’t have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.
