These murderers are admitting they lied only after the damage has been done and is STILL ongoing, and I am beyond pissed.

"I鈥檓 personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived.
My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed.
I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army鈥nd then I found out that it wasn鈥檛 exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.
There鈥檚 no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that鈥檚 what鈥檚 called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'.
There鈥檚 a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you鈥檙e not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it鈥檚 at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.
I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it鈥檚 much worse than it was then. It鈥檚 the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century.
I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can鈥檛 even visit! So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible鈥eople call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don鈥檛 have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that鈥檚 a complete falsity.
You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.
And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

Yeah, if you鈥檙e alone, you see ants.
People I have met who are very lonely have all hallucinated about ants.
I tried once to work out why.
Ants move around in groups, you know.
So I suppose very lonely people keep thinking of ants.
Although I have never done that.

for 2024:
read a lot and read everything
film and art and music are what builds ur soul
be outside
love and romance will not come to you any quicker if you are focused on it constantly
possessions don't improve things
movement does improve things
university is <4 years of the rest of your life - make the most of it
find the pleasure in hard work
lose the pleasure in scrolling
creation is essential
joy, love & intelligence are the tenets of life
stagnation isn't inevitable. no person is in a fixed state. you can always change
