They haven’t even showed the worst videos showing the torture of Palestinians by israeli soldiers, they’re horrifying and ugly. I can’t comprehend how clips like these are trending and allowed on the same websites that prohibt any content about th horrors in gaza.
In the first place, if Moscow and Beijing are content with a purely diplomatic and public relations victory, they do not need to do anything at all. US virtual silence in the face of Israel’s indiscriminate bombardment of Gaza is doing it for them. Yet again, the United States has used its UN security council veto to defend Israel, as the solitary opponent both of all the other UNSC members, and a large majority of the general assembly. As western (and some US) diplomats have remarked (off the record), unfaltering US support for Israel has shredded the Biden administration’s strategy of competing with China for influence in the “global south”.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the western reaction to it, the charge has been made across most of the non-western world (including by US partners like India) that the west has one standard for white victims, and a much lower one for everyone else. The Biden administration (and many European governments) have now in effect confirmed this.
Witness (in a widely circulated clip) the US national security council spokesperson John Kirby choking back crocodile tears over Russian bombardment of civilians in Ukraine, then justifying Israeli “collateral damage” in Gaza – although according to UN figures, Israel has already killed almost as many Palestinian civilians in two weeks as Russia has killed Ukrainian civilians in 20 months. Equally striking has been the refusal of the Biden administration to do anything to help the 500-600 Palestinian American US citizens trapped in Gaza. If anyone wants evidence to argue that in the eyes of Washington some US citizens are more equal than others, they need look no further than this.
Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties — and calls for a ceasefire —reaches a tipping point.
In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.

Turn “weeks” into days. Into minutes. The fact that they’re projecting that far out is abhorrent when we all know what will happen in those weeks.
But, god.
Keep talking. Keep calling. Keep marching. Shout for the people of Palestine.
Just remember that they’re probably assuming that the outrage will die down somewhat, because we are all numb to this kind of shit at this point, right?…

ah, no nut november, an important time where many furry artists gather together to draw girls with massive cocks being edged for an entire month before painting the whole house white… truly a culturally significant event
I want to add one of those images of a character with a speech balloon tail drawn in to imply the character pictured is saying the words in the post above it, but I have no idea how I’d do that with the Spongebob Narrator
