Empire managers and propagandists are losing their minds about student protests against the genocide in Gaza on university campuses, so naturally we're seeing a mad push to frame this as the result of interference by Russia, China, Iran and Hamas.

Empire Managers Say Russia, China And Iran Are Tricking Students Into Opposing Genocide

The Biden administration has reportedly canned its plans to issue sanctions on an extremist IDF unit for human rights violations in the occupied West Bank, following backlash from Israel and its high-powered supporters within the US government.

Biden Wanted To Sanction An Israeli Battalion But He Didn't Because Israel Said No

Kids are taking over university campuses around the world for the noblest possible reason anyone could do such a thing in 2024. There are so many reasons to feel pessimistic, but Gen Z's fierce opposition to the Gaza genocide is a massive reason to have hope for the future.

Gen Z Just Might Save The World

Those university students should not be responsible for standing against this genocide, and in truth the responsibility is NOT all theirs - it is ours as well. Each and every one of us are responsible for doing everything we can to end this horror.

It Is Everyone's Responsibility To Help Save Gaza

In Evil Autocracies the leaders commit genocide for hateful and racist reasons, whereas in Free Democracies the leaders commit genocide for noble and righteous reasons.

Gaza Shows Us The Difference Between Evil Autocracies And Free Democracies

In one of the most appalling propaganda segments I have ever seen in my life, CNN's Dana Bash launched into a fire-and-brimstone sermon on Wednesday comparing anti-genocide university protesters to the brownshirts of Nazi Germany - doing so in defense of a fascistic police crackdown against those very same protesters.

CNN Compares Campus Protesters To Nazis In Stunning Propaganda Segment

So, to be absolutely clear, Israel's top government official has announced that charges against himself and other Israeli leaders for obvious war crimes like intentionally bombing and starving civilians would be both "antisemitic" and a "hate crime".

The 'Antisemitism' Moral Panic Has Officially Jumped The Shark

So let me get this straight. The US wound up building its "floating pier" a few miles off the coast of Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid, but nobody will be able to ship the aid directly to the pier to get it to Gaza. Instead, the aid will be delivered to Cyprus via air or sea, and then from Cyprus the aid will be shipped 200 miles to the pier. From there the pallets of aid will be loaded onto smaller US army boats, which will then carry the aid from the pier to a long causeway on Gaza's actual coast. Those pallets will then be carried from the boats to the shore via the causeway - possibly by British troops or possibly by Israeli troops depending on what source you're reading - and taken into Gaza by IDF troops after careful examination and approval of their contents. All to deliver some 90 to 150 truckloads worth of aid per day, which is far short of the 500 truckloads the UN says Gaza needs.

And this is all being done because Israel isn't simply letting people drive an adequate amount of aid through the custom-built gates directly into Gaza. Since Washington doesn't want to exert any pressure on Israel to allow such a self-evident move, this immensely complicated and expensive dance is being performed to deliver a pathetically inadequate amount of aid instead. Aid that is only necessary because Israel has been destroying Gaza in its genocidal bombing campaign which it has been carrying out with total impunity.

Cool. Very normal and cool.

The Bizarre Gymnastics Of The Gaza Aid Pier

As Democrats get worse and worse the longer Biden's genocide in Gaza continues, I find myself recalling a tweet that went viral back in November by an account with the handle @eyeballslicer, "A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that's going on right now."

Opposing Every War But The Current One, Supporting Civil Rights But Never Right Now

What's happening in Gaza SHOULD radicalize you. It absolutely should.

Right now, even as its own criminality hits fever pitch, the western political-media class is fretting with increasing shrillness about young people getting "radicalized" and turned against their government by the spread of information and ideas at campus demonstrations and on TikTok. 

But young people should be radicalizing right now. Everyone should.
