This bloodbath has gone on for far too long. At the start of this aggression, the school year had barely just started. The academic year ends in just a month. Everyone, from first graders to university seniors, have lost an entire year at least. I say at least considering even if there is a ceasefire today, Israel had destroyed literally all universities in Gaza and damaged over 400 schools. Lest we forget also Israel's deliberate targeting of university professors and academics.

You absolutely cannot mistake the intent behind all of this.

This is quite literally textbook fascism

Watch this short report to get a glimpse of what Israel has been subjecting Palestinians it has taken captive since October 7, whose numbers have now surpassed 8,400 from the West Bank alone.

The conditions in Israeli prisons have intensified and men, women, children and elderly people are subjected to starvation and torture. 14 Palestinian captives have in fact died in Israeli prisons since October 7, which is an alarming and unprecedented escalation to the already dire humanitarian crisis taking place in Israeli torture chambers.

The family of the 74 year old man in the video, Omar Assaf, did not even recognise him. He describes the past 6 months feeling as though they were 6 years.

When a straight man lashes out after dating or having sex with a trans woman, he is often afraid of the implication that his sexuality is joined to hers. When a gay man anxiously keeps trans women out of his activism or social circles, he is often fearful of their common stigma as feminine. And when a non-trans feminist claims she is erased by trans women’s access to a bathroom, she is often afraid that their shared vulnerability as feminized people will be magnified intolerably by trans women’s presence. In each case, trans misogyny displays a fear of interdependence and a refusal of solidarity. It is felt as a fear of proximity. Trans femininity is too sociable, too connected to everyone—too exuberant about stigmatized femininity—and many people fear the excess of trans femininity and sexuality getting too close. But sociability can never be confined or blamed on one person in a relationship; it’s impersonal, and it sticks to everyone. The defensive fear and projection built into trans misogyny, whether genuine or performed, is an attempt to wish away what it nonetheless recognizes: that trans femininity is an integral part of the social fabric. There will be no emancipation for anyone until we embrace trans femininity’s centrality and value.
