The homes Israeli hostages return to VS the homes Gazans return to

The is no going back to “normal” for them. They are now living in a rubble ridden hellscape while the western world moves on, pretending it didn’t fund and approve this.

On the left is a street in Tel Aviv, Israel. Pictured is beautiful green lush Mediterranean style cityscape.

On the right is an image of a young Palestinian girl walking the “streets” of Gaza City, now turned to rubble and ash. The buildings are demolished by bombs and war crimes while the streets are littered with debris, rubble, and broken concrete.

Something this book really drilled home (scuse the pun) is that we're not stalled out on climate because scientists didn't model hard enough or campaigners didn't come up with the perfect message, but because the world's most powerful spent gazillions to sabotage action.

Jewish journalist
details torture in
Israeli detention
Noa Avishag Schnall was abducted at sea from
The Conscience, an aid boat seeking to reach
Gaza as part Of the Freedom Flotilla movement.

Any flotilla member who upset
the Israeli guards was subjected
to twisted and tightened
handcuffs, and some received
beatings. I was hung from the
metal shackles on my wrists and
ankles and beaten in the stomach,
back, face, ear and skull by a
group of men and women guards,
one of whom sat on my neck and
face, blocking my airways.

I am also struck by the lack of attention paid to how Israel fired tear gas and rubber bullets *today* at Palestinians waiting for the release of their loved ones.

This kind of brutality is just priced in, and therefore deemed unimportant to report on.

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 1d

Very jarring how the media treats some lives as inherently and others not.

I am happy for hostages and their families to be reunited, but it’s shocking how little media attention is given to “how do Gazans grapple with the utter destruction of their homes, vast loss of lives, and ongoing famine.”

+ The way "hostages" is applied to Israelis hostages but not to Palestinians when the same articles admit "vast majority of Palestinian prisoners were held without charge" which reads to me like they were hostages, too.
