I’ve observed that as of recently, the fascists have amped up the rhetoric, because they want to make you afraid, and as an example of why you shouldn’t be afraid, I’d like to remind you of hacker Edw...

You should be careful right now. Fascists are watching us - and they control every branch of the government.

Wanting to starve and mass murder civilians makes you a piece of shit, whether you are Jewish, Mormon, or Buddhist.

Nobody cares what religious belief systems you happen to hold in your head while you advocate massacring civilians, they care about the fact that you advocate massacring civilians.

I hate all genocide supporters equally, regardless of their religion. Your religion is like your dreams: completely uninteresting to me. If you support an active genocide you're a bad person who deserves to be shunned and reviled, regardless of what your religion happens to be.

The new edition of JOHNSTONE is now available to order in print or download as a pay-what-you-want e-book version. This month’s issue is titled “A Stark Raving Mad Society” and features a painting of Piers Morgan’s stupid, punchable face.

It’s not okay to be a grown adult with internet access in August 2025 and still believe that what we are seeing in Gaza is not a genocide.

In This Dystopia

We have Jerry Springer-style shows where people who are upset about genocide shout back and forth with people who are enthusiastic about genocide.

Dare To Hope

It wasn’t that long ago when I sincerely wondered if we’d ever see Assange’s face again, let alone in public, let alone in Sydney, let alone heading up what had to be one of the largest pro-Palestine rallies ever held in Australia.

"What Was Israel Supposed To Do After October 7?" Is Asking The Wrong Question

A much more useful and interesting question is “What were Palestinians supposed to do in response to all of Israel’s abuses prior to October 7?”

everyone in Gaza has been experiencing Israel's abusiveness in various manifestations throughout their entire lives. Israel has always been this way. October 7 just gave it the excuse to completely unleash its genocidal impulses.

Israel apologists who say everything Israel is doing in Gaza can be explained by October 7 have got it exactly backwards: everything we're seeing in Gaza explains why October 7 happened in the first place.

The sadism and psychopathy we're witnessing in Gaza didn't magically appear 22 months ago;

Israel's strongest propaganda weapons are western governments, the western press, legions of paid trolls, and an extremely powerful lobby.

Palestine's strongest propaganda weapons are Israel's actions, raw video footage, facts, journalism, and the "translate from Hebrew" button.

Israel Apologists Support Genocide; Of Course They're Fine With Lying

Israel apologists use language the same way malignant narcissists do. It’s never to communicate or connect or find out what’s true, it’s always to manipulate and get things they want.

Those Who Were Wrong About Gaza Should Admit It With Profound Humility

People absolutely should admit that they were wrong, and they absolutely should be encouraged to do so, but they need to do it with humility, and with some outward expression of remorse.

People still supporting this genocide really think they'll be able to use "I didn't know Israel was lying" to defend themselves when this all comes crashing down.

You fucking knew. You knew the whole time. You lied your way into this, but you won't be able to lie your way out.

If all those monstrous abuses were tolerable for us over these last two years, there’s something deeply and profoundly sick about our civilization.

Trying to blame the UN and Hamas for Israel’s extensively documented starvation of Gaza makes it clear that Israel and its supporters intend to keep lying about this thing until the last dying gasp of the last Palestinian.

The worst thing Donald Trump has ever done is commit genocide in Gaza. Everything else pales in comparison. He could end the Gaza holocaust with a phone call just like Biden could have, and he hasn't. For that reason alone he deserves to die in a cage.
