I am losing my mind

Convoys of ambulances taking the injured out of Gaza to get treated in Egypt (as agreed and coordinated between all parties) got targeted by Israeli warplanes

The convoys were in three separate parts of Gaza and all of them were targeted and bombed.

15 killed so far and tens are severely wounded.

I literally just posted a couple of hours ago about Israel deliberately targeting civilian cars fleeing the north in response to death threats and now this

This is as deliberate as can be

Israel is literally revelling in its impunity. This is exactly what happens when cunts run around in circles when Israel’s crimes are brought up. Literal massacres against medical convoys. Just like there were massacres against refugee camps and massacres in hospitals and literal schools.

Keep advocating, keep posting, talk about this and call israel what it is: a terrorist state.

i’m going to be honest. the funniest star wars theory i’ve ever read, that still makes me laugh at random times, is that the jedi council knighted anakin so quickly after AOTC because he was way more relaxed all the time, a lot more peaceful. but it was just that he and padme had a rather active honeymoon phase and he was in a perpetual afterglow, but the jedi thought it was evidence of him achieving a new level of emotional control and knighted him, which is like - i cannot explain how funny i think it is

like it honestly just comes down to “having sex with padme amidala could be mistaken for inner peace” which, like, damn. incredible take.

Incredible, but believable

Hmm, ok, I guess it’s technically plant related? Sure, your druid’s spell does TREE(3) damage. Overflow damage applies if you do more then the targets hitpoints

yiddish theatre, yiddish newspapers and other yiddish cultural stuff was illegal in israel for years and actively discouraged and attempted to make obsolete, yiddish lectures were disrupted and the israeli state translated the testimonies of holocaust survivors to hebrew rather than keep them in yiddish (the language spoken by most jewish holocaust survivors) but tell me more about how israel and zionism are saving jews and making jewish cultural identity stronger rather than destroying and devaluing jewish diasporic culture 🤔

reminder that Jews from North Africa and West Asia also often spoke dialects of Judeo-Arabic as their first language and this is still heavily repressed by the Israeli state in an effort to distance Arab Jews from Palestinians and other non-Jewish Arabs

Moreover, only after the Yom Kippur war Israel allowed Holocaust survivors to openly speak about their experiences. Between 48’ and the 70’s, there was no support nor sympathy for Holocaust survivors. They were seen as weak, a “perfect example” for what a Jew or zionist shouldn’t be. The Holocaust survivors were just used as a reason to spread and justify the zionist ideology

also around 1/3 of holocaust survivors in israel live in poverty and israelis very vocally talk about how much they look down on holocaust survivors and diaspora jews

I hate to say this, and like, rain on everyone’s parade, but after scrolling past three posts about it on a writing tag …

If you are looking up synonyms to exchange words out in your story with the purpose of sounding smarter, more sophisticated, or complicated to your reader, you are probably abusing the thesaurus.

Now, if you *want* to do this, I mean, you can write whatever or however you want! But I just want you to know that this is frowned upon if you are trying to write at a professional level.

I have an old article on this somewhere …
