  • Hey, I stayed at one of their homeless shelters. You should donate just for that. Where else will you get rotten food? Whose going to talk shit about you? Whose going to throw your fragile possessions during check in and treat what little you have as a toy?

    Don’t you want people to have bloodstained linens to sleep on? How else are people going to stand in 110F heat for fucking hours while the idiot Berber Christians have their meetings?

    I really appreciated how little time I spent there, how little I interacted with others, how little I asked, but I was always met with annoyance and contempt when I did ask for something. Like please may I have a pillow case not covered in blood? I know it’s a lot to ask!

    They always walked away knowing they were good christians so good luck speaking up. The shelter ran by ex prisoners was much less degrading.


  • By the end of the article they’ve framed much of this as being pro-Hamas / anti-Israel when a collaborative encyclopedia was seemingly worried about appearing neutral.

    There’s enough there to have a good argument about sources and consistent wording but the article keeps highlighting people who think it’s purely political and even that people probably didn’t read the issue, they just wanted to be pro or anti Israel.

    There’s still a lot of people who call this a genocide because they feel / think it’s a genocide, not because they’re on a side. Having consistent wording is important because you should be able to speak the truth and still feel whatever you felt… it’s not about hating Israel. I guess the beginning of the article sort of captures that mindset.
