Saturday, November 18: All We Know is War
If you think about it, there's a little Hamas command center inside all of us
One of the worst parts of having zero faith in western media’s coverage of Gaza is not knowing exactly how many premature babies have been killed at Al Shifa Hospital by Israel’s murderous actions. Western outlets have seemingly forgotten about the dozens of babies altogether, and journalists on the ground in Gaza differ in their coverage, with some saying all of the babies have perished, and others claiming only some of the babies are dead. What a world we live in.
We established this week that Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza wasn’t actually home to a hidden Hamas command center (shocking), but now Israel is claiming that actually, the enemy ‘command and control center’ is hidden within a hospital in southern Gaza. The sad fact is, this imaginary “Hamas command center” will somehow magically teleport directly beneath anything the Israeli Occupation Forces feel like bombing on any given day. Anyone killed by the apartheid regime is automatically Hamas, yet somehow Hamas is always escaping unscathed. A demented catch-22 intended to maintain the support of western powers and the sympathy of anyone incapable of critical thought.
Idiots like the one in charge of the US continue to operate under the false pretense that Israel has some grand military strategy that it’s slowly revealing. The truth is, Israel has no military plan. It has an ethnic cleansing plan for northern Gaza, where they’ve already destroyed 45% of civilian infrastructure and forced the evacuation of two thirds of the population to the South. Every airstrike targeting a hospital, every bomb dropped on a UN school, every child murdered or disfigured is part of that plan.
Ultimately the point of bombarding Gaza so mercilessly and targeting specific infrastructure and resources like hospitals and schools is to neutralize every necessity that can sustain life there, purposefully making Gaza uninhabitable. That way Gazans have no choice but to leave entirely, giving the apartheid state the green light to occupy and colonize more land. One of the popular weekend spots in Gaza was Al-Katiba Park in Gaza City, where on any given day families would gather to relax, play and enjoy their free time after a busy week. These images show what has become of the park, after Israeli tanks carved a giant Star of David into the ground.
Israeli bombardment has already killed thousands of civilians in the areas of Gaza that the apartheid state ordered them to move to, yet somehow much of the western media is still repeating useless statements about “humanitarian pauses” and “evacuation corridors”. But even outlets like CNN are beginning to open their eyes and realize the inhumanity of what we’re witnessing. The video released earlier this week by the occupation forces giving a tour of the weaponry found at Al-Shifa hospital indicated that the weaponry “may have been moved or placed there prior to news crews arriving”. I guess it was only a matter of time before the apartheid state’s propaganda became too ridiculous to repeat.
In all of this, as Palestinians are murdered en masse day after day, the Israeli public thought it somehow helpful or appropriate to host a yoga class in Tel Aviv with pictures of the Israeli hostages on top of the yoga mats. Somehow, through all this death and devastation, these clueless colonizers still find a way to make it about themselves. Namaste.

Whatever They Say He Did, He Did That: In a turnaround faster than most episodes of SVU, Sean Combs aka Puffy aka Diddy, etc. has settled the civil lawsuit brought forth by Cassie, one day after the lawsuit was filed. I’m no legal expert, but if a billionaire is settling out of court for an undisclosed sum less than 48 hours after the allegations were made public…that man is guilty as hell
New 3K Flute Drop: André Lauren Benjamin aka André 3000 aka 3 Stacks aka one half of Outkast, the greatest southern hip-hop duo in history, dropped a new album this week, but it’s pretty far removed from his previous work. André sold 20 million records and won six Grammys as a hip hop legend, but his debut solo album is actually a rap-free epic of ambient music and woodwind improvisation. It’s surprisingly catchy and great background music, 6/10 would recommend
Public Library Budget Cuts: Public libraries in New York City will be forced to close on weekends after mayor Eric Adams announced cuts to the city’s funding. The 5% budget cut will force libraries in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens to close on Sundays. I can’t help but think back on all the time I spent at the library as a kid (shoutout Sheppard Memorial Library in Greenville, NC). If you think about it too hard you start to realize it’s truly a crime and a sin that the richest city in the richest empire in the history of the world can’t keep a public library open for kids to read and play and learn in when they’re away from school. The empire is truly in shambles y’all
