“We must pass a ceasefire resolution. … We must join the growing chorus of voices saying ‘never again’—’never again’ for anyone.”
Great work by my colleague @gusbova, wrapping up efforts to pass a #ceasefire resolution in city councils across #Texas: https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-gaza-ceasefire-austin-dallas-houston-san-antonio?utm_campaign=mastodon

@oconnell@texasobserver.social @gusbova@texasobserver.social @palestine@a.gup.pe Lots of numbers being thrown around. I think we can all agree that deaths are tragic even if we don’t agree on who is to blame. Israel’s defensive actions lack any connection to genocide, in either intent or result. Look at data. The population of Gaza grew dramatically both under Israeli occupation and since Israeli withdrawal. Two years after the current conflict ends it will have probably recovered from the current losses.

Your comment is appalling. People are not fungible tokens, 25 thousand births will not make 25 thousand murders Ok.
The demographic growth doesn’t annul the fact that Palestinians where expelled from 78% of their country, nor the fact that there’s ample reason to claim it’s genocide from public statements alone.
Cutting water and electricity are also genocidal acts.
Denying the entry of humanitarian aid trucks is also a genocidal act.
No, @AndrewR1234@mas.to, they won’t recover. The dead won’t revive. The mutilated limbs won’t regrow. The trauma won"t wash away. @oconnell@texasobserver.social @gusbova@texasobserver.social @palestine@a.gup.pe
