I can hear the tears in your voice giving me the most distressing picture. xx

So great. This song expresses exactly how I have been feeling every second that I can still do nothing except wonder what I can do.

It is one of the ironies of history that Israel, founded by survivors of the holocaust, is the country that most resembles Nazi Germany in the modern world: a murderous expansionist racist apartheid settler state that has invaded, bombed, and stolen territory from every one of it's neighbours while carrying out "ethnic cleansing" genocide against the native people of Palestine so Jewish settlers from Europe and the US can steal their land.

we do commonly call this an irony, but in so many ways it's more a consequence, both of u.s. foreign policy, and especially of the nazi holocaust. one holocaust to fuel another one. it's a consequence, but maybe an ironic consequence. or maybe just a consequence. the bullied often grow up to be bullies, not defenders of the bullied.
