Darkness Falls on Gaza
Gaza’s internet has been dead for too long now, sealing two million Palestinians inside a digital tomb. In that darkness, Israeli troops gunned down more than fifty people who were waiting for flour and bottled water; hundreds more were wounded. Hospital directors warn generators will run dry within forty-eight hours—when the fuel is gone, ventilators will quit, and newborns will pay the price.
Complicity in Washington
While Gaza families siphon fuel from parked cars, the U.S. State Department stamps another “defensive” munitions shipment to Israel and sprints from the podium. Reporters ask about the blackout; spokesmen recite the right-to-self-defense mantra like a broken prayer wheel. Every crate stamped USA tightens the siege.
Cable news yawns. Fox gave Gaza’s blackout eight token seconds before pivoting to migrant fear porn. CNN doubled that, then cut to a celebrity-chef meltdown. When organized starvation is sold as “security,” journalism has pawned its soul.
Inside the Strip, surgeons split morphine ampoules, parents soak rags in brackish water to calm starving toddlers, and the Red Cross whispers about evacuation because even neutrality has a breaking point.
Rage into Action
Congress holds the kill switch. H.Res. 786, a cease-fire resolution, lingers in committee while leadership tweets “deep concern.” Melt their phones. Pair every bland press release with those BlueSky receipts; screenshots live longer than throttled posts. Donate to medical NGOs still threading trauma kits through the few gates that creak open at night. Show up—consulates, district offices, town-hall mics—until silence becomes career suicide.
