🔥 Gaza: A Land Buried Under Bombs.

They said it was war.
But no war leaves this kind of silence.
Only a graveyard does.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has not fought Gaza—it has bombed it into geological extinction. Strip by strip. Brick by brick. Body by body.

💣 What Was Dropped?

Not just bombs.
Not just numbers.
But a storm of engineered devastation:

Mark 84 “bunker-buster” bombs (2,000 lb) – capable of vaporizing entire apartment blocks.
JDAMs (Joint Direct Attack Munitions) – GPS-guided, U.S.-supplied “precision” bombs—precision not to spare lives, but to destroy them with focus.
MK 82 & MK 83 bombs – smaller, lighter, but still lethal enough to turn a school into smoke.
White Phosphorus shells – chemical fire rained over civilians.
155mm artillery shells – over 100,000 fired into Gaza—day and night, ceaseless.
DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive) munitions – designed to mutilate with microscopic metal powder.
Hellfire missiles, Spike NLOS, GBU-39s, MLRS barrages—each acronym, a method of annihilation.

📉 How Much Was Dropped?

12,000 tons in the first few weeks.
40,000 tons by November 2023.
70,000 tons by April 2024.
Now? 100,000 tons of explosives.

That’s more than the combined bombing of Dresden, Hamburg, and London in WWII.
More than both nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki—combined.

🗺️ Gaza Is Just 25 Miles Long and 6 Miles Wide.

Imagine Philadelphia.
A bustling American city of 1.5 million people.
Now compress it into a cage the size of Philadelphia International Airport and South Philly, and bomb it with the force of 100,000 tons of explosives.

What if that were Manhattan? Or Chicago's downtown?
What would we call that?

Now remember—Gaza has no escape routes, no air defenses, no bunkers.
Only children, bread lines, tents, and prayers.

☠️ And What Remains?

7,500 tons of unexploded bombs still lie buried in Gaza’s broken soil.
Thousands of amputees.
Entire families vaporized—2,200 family lines erased without a single survivor.

💔 This Is Not a War. This Is a Genocidal Laboratory.

And Gaza is the testing ground.
The West funds it.
Israel launches it.
The world watches it.

Every crater is a confession.
Every statistic is a funeral.
Every silence is a crime.

💬 If my small words move you—share them.
This isn’t just rubble. This is a record of our complicity.

Dr. Randa Abdel Fattah. De-Invited by Association: When Grief Becomes a Pretext and Palestinian Identity a Liability

How Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah Was Silenced in the Name of “Sensitivity” In a remarkable feat of moral gymnastics, Australia’s literary establishment has once again demonstrated how grief can be weaponised, principles suspended, and Palestinian identity rendered dangerously “inappropriate ” —all in the name of cultural sensitivity. Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah , a respected author, academic, and public intellectual, was quietly de-invited from Adelaide Writers’ Week following the Bondi Junction massacre. Not because she had any connection—real, implied, or imagined—to the atrocity. Not because she endorsed violence. Not because she violated any law or ethical standard. But because, apparently, the mere presence of a Palestinian Muslim woman who speaks about justice is now considered culturally unsafe during national mourning . One wonders: unsafe for whom? The Logic of the Absurd Festival organisers were careful—almost impressively so—to state that Dr. Abdel-Fattah had nothing to do wi...

Ana Kasparian: The Voice That Won’t Be Silent — A Call for Truth in an Age of Power

Ana Kasparian is one of the most recognized and outspoken voices in contemporary political media. As a co-host of The Young Turks — a trailblazing online news and commentary program — she has spent nearly two decades dissecting U.S. politics, media, power, and foreign policy with unapologetic clarity and fierce conviction. She is not just a commentator — she is a truth-seeker who challenges power at every turn , refusing to soften her words for comfort. Schooled in journalism and political science, Ana’s commentary continues to mobilize millions, especially younger generations who feel unheard in mainstream discourse. A Voice Against the Status Quo Ana’s rhetoric can be bold, controversial, and deeply passionate — because she refuses to accept narratives that obscure the underlying truth about power and influence. On American democracy and foreign policy, she strikes at the heart of what many hesitate to articulate: “ We don’t actually live in a true democracy here in t...

Gaza and the Collapse of World Order: When the Guardian of Human Rights Sounds the Alarm

There are moments when the language of diplomacy fails, when caution becomes complicity, and when silence becomes an accomplice to destruction. On January 9, 2026, Agnès Callamard—Secretary General of Amnesty International—crossed that threshold. Her words were unambiguous, unprecedented, and devastating: The United States is destroying world order. Israel has been doing so for the last two years. Germany, through complicity and repression, is helping govern its demise. This was not activist rhetoric. It was a diagnosis from the very institution tasked with guarding the moral and legal architecture of the modern world. The Collapse of the Post-War Moral Architecture The international order that emerged after World War II was built on a promise: never again . Never again genocide. Never again collective punishment. Never again impunity for powerful states. That promise was codified in international law, human rights conventions, and multilateral institutions. But Gaza has...

Rebranding Genocide: When Killing Learns New Words

There are moments in history when crimes do not end — they simply learn new language. Gaza is living inside such a moment. The bombs have not stopped falling. The children have not stopped dying. The displaced have not stopped freezing in tents pitched atop rubble that was once their homes. What has changed is the vocabulary . And in the modern age, vocabulary is power . If you can rename atrocity, you can anesthetize conscience. First, it was called self-defense — a phrase emptied of meaning by its repetition. Then it became a war , despite the grotesque imbalance: one side armed with one of the most advanced militaries on earth, backed by the world’s most powerful empire ; the other a besieged civilian population without an army, navy, air force, tanks, or safe shelter. Now it is branded a ceasefire — a word invoked not to stop violence, but to conceal it. This is not peace. It is genocide with a quieter soundtrack. The Illusion of Restraint A slowed rate of killing is not m...

Citizens on Paper, Expendable in Practice Arab Israelis, October 7, and the Failure of International Law Inside the “Only Democracy”

Israel tells the world it is the only democracy in the Middle East . Democracies, we are reminded, protect all citizens equally—especially minorities—especially in times of crisis. Now look at Palestinian citizens of Israel , roughly 20% of the population , in the months following October 7 . Then ask: what exactly does citizenship mean when the state will not protect your life? The Forgotten Fifth of the Population Arab citizens of Israel vote. They hold passports. They pay taxes. They are citizens in the narrow, bureaucratic sense. But international law does not define citizenship by paperwork. It defines it by: Equal protection Non-discrimination The right to life Equal access to justice On those measures, Israel is not merely failing—it is structurally violating its obligations . A Murder Epidemic the State Chooses Not to Stop Long before October 7, Arab towns inside Israel were drowning in violence: Illegal weapons proliferated Organized crime flourished ...
