On the bright side, at least it gives us some entertainment…

Every child’s life is precious. The loss of any child—anywhere—should stir outrage, empathy, and action.
But in the West, we have been conditioned to look away. To accept Palestinian suffering as normal.
This apathy is not just troubling. It’s inhumane.

Thank you for sharing. Very well articulated. The unlawful detention of Mahmoud Khalil will unleash a powerful movement in support of Palestinians. We will not be silenced.

And yet, the world looks away. On this St Patrick’s Day, laughter spills from crowded bars, glasses raised in celebration - while grief, horror and devastation flood Gaza.

If you believe these innocent children deserve this fate, then you have abandoned both conscience & humanity.
One day, there will be a museum documenting this horror, and future generations will be horrified at how many stood silent while this atrocity unfolded before our eyes.

I can now fully understand why Israel wanted this movie banned. The worst thing that can happen to Israel’s goals are for people to see that Palestinians are human. They want you to think this movie is Hamas propaganda.

9/ This isn’t about alarmism—it’s about recognizing patterns. History teaches us that looking away leads to catastrophe. The question is: Will we learn from it this time?

8/ 📌 Denial of conquest wars – In the 1930s, politicians believed no modern country would wage war to seize land. That belief shattered as WWII began. Today, many still think land grabs and conquest wars aren’t possible—despite clear warning signs.

7/ 📌 Corporate influence on government – Then and now, big business thrives while human rights suffer.
📌 Shifting goalposts – Hitler constantly changed the terms of negotiations to get what he wanted. Trump follows the same strategy, making deals impossible to trust.

6/ 📌 Authoritarian alliances – Hitler aligned with Mussolini. Trump is cozying up to Putin and Netanyahu.
📌 Normalizing genocide – The atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza are being justified, just as Jewish persecution was excused in the 1930s.

5/ 📌 Appeasement – European leaders tried to pacify Hitler in the 1930s. Leaders today hesitate to stand up to Trump.
📌 Demonization of a people – Hitler scapegoated Jewish communities. Today, Palestinians and Muslims are being vilified on a global scale.
