The current violence seems particularly gruesome compared to past flare ups; like 100+ dead in Gaza in the last few days alone, and thousands of troops mobilized:

Net + Gantz appear to be on some bloodthirst shit right now... why reject the ceasefire??

I can't wrap my head around instigating such state-/state-sanctioned violence against one of the holiest structures in Islam, during Ramadan of all times. It's depraved (and as it happens, likely a war crime - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/how-israeli-raid-al-aqsa-mosque-could-constitute-war-crime).

Furthermore these raids, forced evictions, bombings, etc happening amid the expulsion/forced deportation of Black jews from the country:

and the stonecold medical racism in staunchly REFUSING to provide COVID-19 vaccines to Palestinians, despite the near-complete vaccination of Israeli Jewish citizens and a vaccine stockpile:

tells us pretty much all we need to know about how minorities are faring over there right now :( The term apartheid seems insufficient, tbh.

But of course, total impunity: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/23/over-300-us-lawmakers-urge-continued-israel-aid-without-condition

Every angle of this shit sucks. Prayers to the whole region
