I think this piece is really important and powerfully written. We should never allow Israel to divert attention from its brutal genocide and now its starvation campaign in Gaza. Our eyes must remain on Gaza.

At the same time, I hope the casualties in Iran: those losing their lives, homes, and now enduring bombardment, aren’t left unseen. Very few images are coming out, and the numbers aren’t being reported. The more the devastation in Iran remains invisible or not even mentioned in our discussions of the Iran-Israel war that was waged by Israel on Iran, the easier it becomes for more lives to be lost, buried beneath political distractions and debates; dehumanized. This is a piece by a comrade that is always highlighting these harms, even if not here. But in many broader discussions the actual people are being lost.

These struggles are deeply interconnected.

That’s my only comment, coming from someone whose family is currently under bombardment, who’s lost their home, and is watching her cities burn. We’re not distractions.

We will continue to resist Israel’s violence, and the first step to ending its war on Iran is ending its apartheid and genocide against Palestinians

I'm afraid that you're right: it's all about distraction. But my hope is that Satanyahu miscounted his blessings and that Iran will turn Isn'treal in a second Rafah. May zionism be swept from the earth so people can live in peace at last, especially Palestinian people.

It shreds my heart and rips my soul out. How can Israelis be so full of hate? Why are Americans, Canadians, Europeans being so complicit in this horrific genocide being lived streamed on our 24 hour news? Is it just the $ made by our war merchants?

Life hack: NEVER USE WHITE AND JEW MEDIA. They are the trashbags and cowards of the world who live millions of lies - they couldn't be objective or tell the truth once in their pathetic existence.

That property will be poison ground for the next ten years. So many bombs have landed the ground is poison.

That was Bibi’s whole plan from the beginning. I don’t need a crystal ball to tell me that!!

I agree. Israel is killing the people by starving them to death. No one talks about that. Despicable behavior. I used to have a lot of respect for Israel but that changed. 💔for those that are suffering.

Yes they tragically are being ignored in favor of other “news.” But , so far, nobody else in the region is experiencing Genocide… just Palestine. Why?

Trump family wants Gaza for their “resorts”

You lying sack of shit. The reason why Iran is perceived as the aggressor is because their minions Hamas started this war on Oct 7. The other reason is because everyday they chant they want to erase Israel for the past 40 years. And the third reason is the giant clock in Teheran counting down to when Israel will be erased

The only country erasing anything is Israel they play the victim but have demolished 90% of Gaza and its people and now focusing on the Occupied West Bank. They believe they are the chosen people while eradicating all the countries surrounding it to get their greater Israel. Be glad to see the back of their genocidal apartheid zionist state and it will fall. They are the real terrorists and started this in 1948 when they pushed the Palestinians out of their land and renamed it Israel. The world see ls Israel for what it is a pariah state.
