Worrying About TikTok During An Active Genocide

There will surely be grave consequences from Washington for this bold act of defiance, perhaps including Biden saying the words "red line" a second time.

A red line that everyone knows you'll never enforce is not a red line at all; it's just perception management. And Biden has already openly said his "red line" against invading won't be enforced, telling MSNBC "It is a red line, but I am never going to leave Israel. The defense of Israel is still critical. So there is no red line I am going to cut off all weapons, so they don't have the Iron Dome to protect them."

Leaked bodycam footage obtained by Al Jazeera reportedly shows a November IDF raid in Gaza in which Israeli troops executed a Palestinian civilian and then laughed and congratulated each other about it afterward. 

There's only so much footage you can watch of IDF soldiers gleefully behaving like monsters before you have to admit there's something deeply and profoundly sick about Israeli society itself.

The US is playing an imaginary game of The Floor Is Lava by pretending it can't send aid through the front door of Gaza. Meanwhile Palestinians have been forced to play a very real and deadly game of The Floor Is Lava when trying to access supplies, frequently finding themselves targeted by snipers while trying to obtain food and water.

There's a motherfucking genocide happening and we're being told we need to be worried about TikTok and defaced portraits of Lord Balfour.
