מעבר למחשבות המזעזעות על מה שבני אדם עוברים שעה דרומה ממני ממש עכשיו, אני עסוקה בשאלה הקיומית שמלווה את חיי. איך נקום מכל הרוע שזורם פה ברחובות כבר שעות, ימים, חודשים, שנים, עשורים. איך נעשה רה-הומניזציה אחד לשני. איך נזכיר לעצמנו מהי אכזריות ומה גבולותיה. מתי ואיך נצא מזה.

People's comments on this platform are often vicious and hurtful - we all know that. One theme I find particularly unhelpful is when I write something about what's being done to Palestinians and then get told I'm a colonizer who should leave. This morning, I bothered to reply.

@revemadrid Hi Reve. I wasn't sure whether there's any point in replying to you, but I will try. Your comment is rather unempathetic. You say this like it's so easy to leave the place you were born, where your whole family lives and many of the people and places you care for, and become a

בג"ץ הוציא צו על תנאי בעתירות נגד חוק האזרחות והכניסה לישראל! על המדינה להסביר מדוע לא לבטל את החוק שמפריד בין בני זוג ובין הורים לילדיהם, ופוגע בשורה ארוכה של זכויות אדם.

27 עזתים מתו במתקני מעצר ישראלים מאז ה-07.10, חלקם שהו בישראל עם היתר טרם פרוץ המלחמה. השבוע נחשף כי שב"כ מצא שאנשים ששהו עם היתר כדין לא העבירו מידע לחמאס או שיתפו פעולה עם המתקפה. אנשים חפים מפשע מתו במתקני מעצר, מנותקי קשר מהעולם. כנראה לעולם לא נדע מה קרה להם.

Every time the unthinkable happens, I allow myself to believe: this will be the thing that ends this awful war. The world is furious at Israel for what it did last night. Macron calls for an immediate ceasefire. But nothing seems to make a difference, the destruction continues.

Apparently, the Israeli Chief of Police recently informed the State's Attorney that Minister Ben Gvir had instructed the police not to accompany humanitarian aid convoys to Gaza. We all saw there was no attempt to stop Tzav 9 from sabotaging aid. Now it's official.

It also turns out that everything all human rights organizations have been screaming for 35 years is true. Settlements are illegal, creeping annexation is illegal, Gaza is still occupied, etc. There's no satisfaction in this "I told you so" cause we're all so totally fucked.

Israel finally got into its long-anticipated fist fight with Iran, and just like that: the US is our best friend again, Jordan and the UK are willing to help, and no one is talking about hunger and misery in Gaza anymore. Perhaps this situation is convenient for some?
