The statement claims that they’ve been deployed to protect ICE and federal property.

"Two years of fire, hunger, and slow death, endured by Palestinians in Gaza as they faced genocide head on."

Gaza is "the conscience of humanity that continues to remind us that justice may be delayed, but it will never disappear."
#Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Healthcare #Genocide

Two years of genocide

Gaza did not die despite a world that willed its erasure.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

They're claiming victory because they did the genocide they've always wanted, because they're bloodthirsty freaks.

The hostages could have been released in October 2023. Don't ever forget that. EVER.

Their truth will be exposed to the entire world once the hostages are released. For two years they lied, calling it “self-defense” and “rescuing hostages,” while in reality they carried out a cold-blooded genocide against an unarmed people.

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · 12h

It wasn't the genocide that freed the hostages.

It was a ceasefire deal.

Because the genocide was never about the hostages, no matter how much Netanyahu and his band of fucking fascists claim victory.
