As Israel openly ramps up it genocidal project to empty Gaza of Palestinians through starvation and murder, and the Trump regime unleashes a fascist police state on targeted protestors at home, it's becoming clear that the machine wants us all to forget about Gaza and let the nightmare happen - but that is precisely why now is not the time to go silent.

"Look friends, I know that this is a really bad time to ask people to stick their necks out to oppose a genocide but Israel just bombed literally the last hospital in Gaza and it barely made the evening news in the United States. The regime and indeed much of the larger ruling class establishment that supports settler colonialism, and profits from the genocide by various means, wants to create an environment where speaking out against the genocide in Gaza and Israel’s settler colonial massacres is just criminal and subversive enough to stop most of us from doing it. This will then allow them to easily isolate and repress a much smaller number of people who are brave enough and otherwise able to resist the genocide directly. It is vital that we counteract this cone of silence effect by keeping the US-backed genocide in Gaza on our lips, and our outrage about crimes against humanity Israel is committing in the discourse; the regime can’t arrest us all – and Gaza, is running out time."
