Stopping The Slaughter In Gaza Is More Important Than Your Feelings by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
Your feelings are not more important than Palestinian lives.
Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than your feelings. Your feelings do not matter.
Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than playing along with the persecution-LARPing of Zionist university students.
Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than some privileged Ivy Leaguers pretending to feel "unsafe" or "unwelcome" on campus.
Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than whatever you are pretending to believe "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" means.
Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than making sure everyone says all the right words and condemns Hamas with sufficient fervor.
Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than making sure Joe Biden maintains enough support to win re-election.
Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than performing all kinds of mental contortions and prostrations while talking about Israels criminality to avoid offending people who make everything about themselves.
Stopping the slaughter in Gaza is more important than helping you avoid the uncomfortable cognitive dissonance incurred by the contradictions between your stated value system and the genocidal murderousness and cruelty of apartheid Israel.
Your feelings are not more important than Palestinian lives.
Your feelings are not more important than Palestinian displacement.
Your feelings are not even more important than Palestinian feelings.
Your feelings are not important. Stopping the ethnic cleansing and genocide of the people of Gaza is important.
It is a symptom of the cancerousness of western civilization that there are people living their whole lives under the entirely unquestioned assumption that their feelings are so important that it is fine and normal to expect that a limitless number of impoverished foreigners may be killed without any opposition whatsoever in order to promote the interests of their favorite ethnostate, and that anyone who does oppose it is persecuting them.
It is a symptom of how diseased our entire society has become that people are so narcissistic that they now perceive anti-genocide demonstrations on university campuses as a direct attack against them and their identity, and will use any amount of spin and mental contortion to make this seem true.
It is a symptom of the dire need to dismantle the entire western empire that a mainstream narrative structure exists in our society which says opposing a genocide is a far more egregious offense than committing one.
It is a symptom of the dire need for radical revolutionary changes in this civilization that western political systems are urgently discussing the need to stomp out protests against a genocide at university campuses under the pretense of protecting peoples feelings.
Do not protect peoples feelings. Stop the genocide in Gaza.
Peoples feelings should be uncomfortable when a genocide is happening.
People should be experiencing uncomfortable cognitive dissonance and shame when their innately unjust worldview is being completely discredited in front of everyone.
None of us should be feeling comfortable with any of this.
We should be feeling very, very uncomfortable, and letting that discomfort drive us to end this nightmare forever!
