As we stand by, the Israeli military is obeying its commands to annihilate the Gaza Strip.

As The Bombs Rain Down

When there were still hospitals functioning in the Gaza Strip, before they were intentionally destroyed in an ongoing, genocidal bombing campaign, the surviving doctors wrote on the bodies of the surviving children, over and over again, the acronym, WCNSF -- Wounded Child, No Surviving Family.

Wounded Child -- No Surviving Family (WCNSF)

Outside of the west they're reporting the WHO and just about every other UN department are holding constant press conferences, trying to sound the alarm about an imminent genocide, and all the people in Gaza who are about to die of famine and disease.

Famine and Disease

Part of Israel's strategy of destroying Gaza is to destroy the ability of the people of Gaza to tell their story, by explicitly targeting and assassinating journalists.

They're Killing Off the Journalists of Gaza

When the rules of engagement are "shoot anything that moves."

They Were Raising A White Flag

This song is a public service announcement, to thank the Houthi Army for their service to the global public.

It's Christmas Eve

#AirDropAidForGaza has been trending on X and then the Jordanian Field Hospital in Gaza was bombed.

Airdrop

After using starvation as a Total War, strategic weapon of collective punishment, the Israeli occupation forces are using food tactically as a weapon of war as well.

Flour Massacre

On the other side of the world, Aaron Bushnell's body burned in the same way the bodies of innocent people are burning every day in Gaza. As he burned he shouted repeatedly, "free Palestine."

Song For Aaron Bushnell

The thousands of troll accounts spewing genocidal propaganda on my Facebook posts are abhorrent and completely full of crap, but they have a fascinating narrative, albeit completely farcical.  All the more fascinating is the fact that, although obviously farcical to anyone with an actual clue, the western press and politicians generally accept the narrative as self-evidently accurate.

What I Learned From The Hasbara Trolls

A song of appreciation for all the protesting students, staff, and faculty at Columbia and many other institutions across the US.

Boycott, Sanction, and Divest

"Antisemitism" is the new "communism" -- have you ever said anything that could be construed in someone's convoluted mind as somehow anti-Jewish?  Iran is the new USSR, Elise Stefanik is the new Joe McCarthy, and the House Un-Israeli Activities Committee is going strong, ruining one life at a time, and striking fear throughout academia and beyond.

The House Un-Israeli Activities Committee

Sarah Wilkinson's outrageous and also impossible bail conditions have been dropped, due to popular pressure, but Keir Starmer's balaclava-clad Mossad thugs are still on the loose in England, terrorizing journalists.  Here's Chet Gardiner's brilliant new remix of "On the Streets of London," the song I wrote at the beginning of September, 2024, about this stark reality.

On the Streets of London (Free Sarah Wilkinson)

My impression is Donald and Kamala have some significant differences in their intended policies if elected, as well as significant differences in terms of their records in office.  However, if there's any distinction between the two of them when it comes to the genocide of the Palestinians currently being carried out by the Israeli military with US armaments and US tax dollars, I have yet to discern it.

Ballad of Donald and Kamala (When it Comes to Israel)

Israeli settlers began a new campaign to steal more of the land from the people of the town of Beita, in the Occupied West Bank, in 2021.  Turkish-American ISM activist, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, was the 17th protester to be killed by Israeli troops in the town of Beita since 2021.

Aysenur

Everywhere the Al-Jazeera reporters were reporting from throughout the Middle East during and after Iran's October 1st ballistic missile attack on Israeli military targets, people could be heard cheering loudly.  Most of the people I know across the world might not have been cheering, but their hearts were a little lighter, for a little while, at least.  I know mine was.
