When some things end in your life, often there is a certain moment, a certain episode, where you know you cannot do it any longer. You know it's over. I had my final and complete disillusionment with my country the summer they shot and killed 223 and wounded thousands of demonstrators using live fire during the 'The Great March of Return'. Every weekend, from March 2018 until December 2019, Gazans would gather along the border with Israel, with thousands and thousands in attendance. They wanted to break the siege and attract the world's attention to their plight and oppression under so many years of brutal occupation, with no end in sight.

They were quiet demonstrations: no Israeli soldier was hurt in any of them (there may have been one case of counter-violence by Palestinians, and maybe not even that). Israel's murderous overreaction that time was placing tens, or maybe even hundreds of snipers in positions overlooking the border and the adjacent Gaza lands.

Those snipers shot and shot and shot people in unbelievable numbers. on May 14th, 2018, 52 Palestinians were killed in one demonstration. Rouzan al-Najjar, a 20-year-old nurse, was sniped to death two weeks later, on the 1st of June. She was hundreds if meters away from the fence. Her death may have been what broke me. Or maybe it was the complete obedience of everyone in the IDF. No one said: we cannot do that. This is insane. No one felt bad about it. I felt like I was losing my mind. Or maybe it was the big live concert at the center of Tel Aviv that very summer, given by Israel's fresh Eurovision winner, a day or two after one of the bloodiest weekends in The Great March of Return. It was a big deal, and everyone was happy and celebrating and proud.

• On Local Call, the Hebrew version of +972 Magazine, I wrote an article titled "Accept that it is over". In that article, I also wrote that I was not going to vote in Israeli elections again, as there was no point, particularly as so many people who are ruled by Israel cannot vote.

• 2018 seems like so long ago now. It was before Covid, before October 7th, before the genocide. But it was that summer, that year, that I knew I lost my country.

And the absolutely beautiful, angelic face of Rouzan al-Najjar brings tears to my eyes to this day. To this moment. It is such a heartache. Such a loss to this world. Such a stupid, monstrous crime.

There has to be justice for Palestine someday. There simply must be.

@palestine LOL, bring it on, you living spambot. nobody needs your scolding. I already blocked mastodon.social, I actually thought you in particular lived there the time to reason with liberals is over. You're on the way to your own destruction.

@palestine Hah, he blocked me and ran away. I know you are going to report me, you have a Ukraine flag. You stand for international terrorism and hoping nobody stops you. Well, we're putting a stop to it Barney. This left-libertarian society you live in was built on abundance, and it can't abide crises.
The USA is the one committing the war crimes, genocide is a war crime and Israel is its proxy, you dolt. Of course the US deems its actions legal even when it violates international law, it has a gun to the head of every international institution, be it the IMF, the World Bank, the UN, aid organizations, NGO, we own it all. We are flagrantly engaged in global acts of espionage and terrorism on a daily basis.
Of course the occupiers designate the people living in the country they are trying to destroy "war criminals" for nonsensical reasons like wearing their own clothing because they lack military uniforms. Thanks for showing your true face, clown.
Sorry you can't take a little advice on how to deal with resistance movements. The British learned this the hard way. Guerillas don't go away. They aren't foreign proxy forces committing war crimes. They're the people who live in the land you're trying to kill. Remember that, or you will lose so much it is incomprehensible to you now.
It's not the end of Europe, but you can see it from here.

Remember when Biden said the US will build a pier in Gaza back in early March? To deliver food to be checked by ISR in Cyprus, then in Gaza. US military finally started pier construction off Gaza. May take 60 days to build. No rush. Just starving Gazans. @palestine @israel
