What we are watching unfold in real time right now is not a war. It's not a conflict. It's genocide. It's ethnic cleansing. It's Apartheid. And it's settler colonialism.
Let me unpack and explain it.

Today is one of those days where all I know to do is pray. And to ask you to pray as well. Palestinian leadership has sent in their framework for what the need for a ceasefire and now the nations at the table will HAVE to find a way to make it work. Please pray for their success, OK?
And, as we speak, the Israeli military has surrounded one of the last remaining hospitals in Gaza, and are killing anyone that comes or goes. Some of my closest friends in Gaza are in there right now. Please also pray for them!

Ep. 841 - Ceasefire negotiations are underway + Nasser Hospital has been surrounded

Every night is horrible in Gaza. Without fail. But somehow, last night was one of the worst ever as Israel and the United States bombed refugee camps all over Rafah, in Southern Gaza. Over 1.6 million Palestinians have crammed into a community meant for 150,000 people - after they were told it was a safe zone, but now they are being bombed endlessly.
And the fallout is beyond words. What I saw last night took my breath away.
Let me unpack and explain it.

Ep. 840 - Endless massacres of Palestinians during the Super Bowl last night

Last week the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel is committing genocide and, in essence, ordered them to stop all genocidal actions, genocidal speech, and to open up ports for humanitarian aid. And gave them 30 days to do so.
We are now within that 30 day period and Israel is in full, open defiance of every one of those orders. The genocide is in full force. The question now is this: what will the ICJ, and the rest of the world, do about it?
Let me unpack and explain it.

Ep. 839 - Israel is in full, open defiance of the ICJ orders

Hey my friends. When you see this, the International Court of Justice will have either already made their ruling on the genocide case brought by South Africa against Israel or will be close to releasing their findings. Let me tell you what I expect to happen.

Ep. 838 - The ICJ makes a very important ruling today.

In the center of Khan Younis, in Southern Gaza, a United Nations training center that was housing thousands of Palestinian refugees was fired upon indiscriminately by Israeli tanks. The UN reported the massacre themselves across social media, but leading American newspapers, knowing full well that Palestinians don't own a single tank (or airplane or warship or submarine for that matter) outright REFUSED to say WHOSE tanks caused the massacre.
At this point, the media is complicit in this genocide.
Let me unpack and explain it.
