The situation is very difficult in Gaza, especially in northern Gaza. Death is everywhere. Bodies do not stop in the streets. Anyone who leaves their home is killed. Hours ago, a residential square in Beit Lahia was bombed. More than 100 dead. Jabalia has been under siege for 15 days. There is no there. Food, no water, and it is forbidden for anyone to go out to the street. People are waiting for their death there, and the massacres do not stop. People are there under the rubble. There is no one to save them and get them out. I swear to you, there are hundreds of dead in Jabalia since yesterday, and we have lost contact with my relatives there since yesterday.

"Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now."

The only thing I can think of doing is screaming into the void.

Is it a moral failing? Do I personally have the power to do something, but I'm just too lazy/scared to do it? I have no idea.

No! You could go and try to do something by yourself but you'd fail. We need to build the organization where we live to challenge these imperial beasts! We have to build revolutionary socialist parties, or else no one will ever be able to stand up to these monsters.
