I fancied myself an entomologist so I caught and killed butterflies then pinned them out. Now I find things I can skewer with words.

It was democratically elected by the Gazans. They are not the taliban, in case you are confused. But ignorance is AI bliss, I guess.

The absence of mainstream journalists for the Saul/ Sidoti Press club address shows that we are being fed propaganda. Time to boycott it all. No more complicity with slaves of Israel and assorted lobby groups.

Your country is racist. Its values are racist. It has no borders. It relies on the USA for everything. It is dying because it is no longer welcome in the world.

I think so. It's also clearly here to cause trouble. A real indication that it should just be blocked is its @imsmarterthanyou ...

I have seen the leaders of Israel past and present say the same thing about Palestinians. They back their words with mass murder. Repeatedly, until this actual genocide. If you weren't a biased racist you would see that Hamas is facing frothing mouth monsters who call Palestinians animals / vermin.

Where are the rest of our governments? If Israel can do what it likes, if it says 'fok U' to any institution that says it's criminal, if it drags people off the street rapes and tortures them for as long as it gets fun out of it, then why aren't we sucking up to all our regular serial killers?

Great letter in today's Irish Times, thousands of Palestinians are incarcerated in apartheid Israel's torture dungeons, they must be released. And our government must call for their release. #FreeThemAll #FreePalestine

Israel is lawless. It's time to stop including Israel in any human activity.

The fact that other governments are just watching is beyond belief. The protests have to be bigger, more frequent and crippling.

marguerite @maguerrete.bsky.social · 1d

What the hell is wrong with our governments? They stand by while their citizens are abducted in International waters, then stand by some more while they are put in Israeli gaols, then still wait around to see what Israel feels like doing next? What good are they - if they all just work for Israel?

But according to Bluesky it's how to get your account deleted!

marguerite @maguerrete.bsky.social · 1d

That's because they've swallowed all the propaganda pouring out of Israel since forever. They ignore the sophisticated lives Gazans had despite the regular 'mowing lawn' massacres conducted by Israel. I want to see you all travelling, seeing the world and coming home to comfort whenever you like.

marguerite @maguerrete.bsky.social · 1d

Well AI, hon, since Israel is the regional problem and Hamas isn't anything more than a group of freedom fighters, the logical statement is the reverse. No one really needs psycho killer country, do they.

The provision of tents and structures is essential aid, which must be delivered AS AID, and not as yet more extortion of Gazans. Western governments have pretended this wasn't happening, or using zionist propaganda tropes about
Hamas being responsible. This must be dealt with by the UN not the USA

they are deluded if they think he's the only witness to their atrocities... we have to keep up the pressure on this excremental country.

Will Wong get anything to do with Israel right?

Or could she simply be honing her sarcasm ...

“Our expectation is that Israel ensures that humane treatment to any detainees in line with international norms is provided,” Wong said.

marguerite @maguerrete.bsky.social · 1d

Do we still care more about the Israeli hostages, than all the illegally detained Palestinians?
It's a very old prejudice which can't be bothered hiding in broad daylight, isn't it, Guardian?
www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Who are the 20 hostages believed alive and expected to be freed from Gaza?

Ceasefire deal could end more than 700 days of captivity after hostages were taken during attacks of 7 October 2023

Keep doing a little something every day to #DismantleApartheidIsrael.

You never know the impact of your protesting, boycotting, social media involvement, etc.

The Hague group was a fizzer. It too made statements instead of doing something, despite a campaign begging them to act. The Arab states did nothing but play host and indulge Israel. It is now only public opinion which moves.

Some people just like staring at their own shit, mesmerised by the wonder of themselves.
