Don't Let Them Numb You To What's Happening In Gaza

ISRAEL and U.S. IMPERIALISM
Caitlin Johnstone
We're not SUPPOSED to be unaffected by this sort of thing.
We're not SUPPOSED to be able to find a state of psychological comfort with genocide.
It's not natural, and it's not right. Man-made nightmares unleashed upon the waking earth are SUPPOSED to disturb us.
One of the reasons I often pivot to poetry and emotion-laden prose in my commentary on Gaza is because it’s so very easy to let ourselves become numb to the horrors of what’s being done there day after day and month after month, but it’s so very, very important not to.
It would be so very easy to get overwhelmed and start letting one day of lies and atrocities blend into the next until it becomes this amorphous gray blob on the periphery of our attention.
Reports like IDF sniper drones playing the sounds of distressed women and children to lure civilians out into the open and then shooting them.
Or Israeli officials ridiculously claiming they had no idea that blowing up a consulate building full of Iranian military officers would be seen as an escalation, have been coming out on a daily basis now.
And it’s tempting to let yourself become overwhelmed and stop caring as much.
