We are experiencing collective trauma. Palestinians are an extension of ourselves: humanity. And these psychopaths are abusing all of us. Hang in there.
You are right. The helplessness those of us in the west feel as we look on with horror, while the US government continues to prop up the Netanyahu regime with more weapons and utters not a syllable when aid is prevented from crossing the border into Gaza. It’s almost unbelievable yet there it is, and what are we to do?? The world has gone scarily off the rails and we resist in our spirits but it’s unbearable and so much more so for the people themselves. The US is allowing Netanyahu to obliterate the Palestinian people so they can develop it and pocket the wealth. I look toward the final justice which I have to believe will be merciful to victims and sentence the evil accordingly. And pray for that justice to come quickly. It’s enough to radicalize anyone and one thing is certain: Israel will never have peace and security in this path they’ve chosen. The state of Israel has no right to exist. It is an unholy land.
Aya, I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been so unwell. Yes, the stress of what we see in Palestine is awful. The UK government is as guilty as the US of supporting the zionist occupation of Palestine. The vile Starmer and his equally vile cabinet colleagues DO NOT speak for people in Britain. The hundreds of thousands of people who demonstrate in support of Palestine, despite the Police harassment that they are now subject to is evidence of this. And yes, it’s certainly a contributory factor to serious illness and ongoing psychological distress: CPTSD is a nasty bugger of an illness to have, so I sincerely hope that you’ll be feeling stronger soon. If it’s any comfort, your Substack friends all send you solidarity.
Thank you. It's the personal circumstances caused the CPTSD but it was just that the Palestinians, Sudanese, Indian Muslims etc etc must be feeling it way worse AND while under actually murder
So sorry to hear it. Totally understandable. Evil is out in the open and feels confident, and the world is seeing the effects. But we know we are on the side of justice, and that can't be taken from us. I'd rather be a good person and struggle than be a bad person and have it easy, and I know you're the same. And I think the resistance is growing. They won't have it their way forever.
No apologies necessary, Aya. I feel your pain and have my own health struggles presently. The origin is murky but I know for certain that my symptoms are worsened by this collective trauma. I also have no idea how the people of Gaza go on. They represent resilience in a way I could not have imagined had we not witnessed their daily suffering.
Take care. I so sympathise. I also often feel utterly overwhelmed and powerless in the face of what our governments are doing internationally and, importantly, domestically here in the UK, as you say.
As well as supporting the killing of kids in Gaza, Syria and elsewhere - and those children are all our children - they speak about sending two of my own kids off to war (for the joker Zelensky and his Nazi friends, no less) while withdrawing benefits from my son who has a lifelong mental health condition.
I loathe Starmer and his cronies more than, I think, any politicians ever.
I feel guilty too as all I do is write a few words and share a bit of information. I have no energy to do more than that. Or perhaps it's an excuse - I'm not brave enough.
Thank you for your post anyway. It actually helps the rest of us when we say that our online friends are also struggling with the world as it is. 🫂
I want to be the cure. But i too fear that i am being silenced. I send this to newspapers, but i barely receive anything.
“Greetings, my name is Adam and i write to you from Canada. I cannot tell you how many times the slaughter in Palestine has perforated my soul. Every bomb and shell the barbarians drop, every family they eviscerate, every home they raze buries me in sorrow like an avalanche.
I weep for every soul who perished in this horrible bloodletting and the survivors wander this broken world without hope.
Our world is under the iron boots of heartless monsters, who laugh and cheer at this carnage. Who drink the blood of the innocent like the most expensive wines. And who annihilate anyone who opposes them. Yemen included.
I cannot sit idly by while these vampires burn the world for profit. I must act. But so far, all i have received is a deathly silence. It’s as if my message was being muzzled. Silenced.
But if you think that this is merely an appeal to those who still bomb and kill the people of Palestine by the day, you are mistaken. I intend to exile them from North America and muster a force from this continent to liberate it from Zionism.
And so i ask you this: please help me be heard, so that i may send a message to those who want to quash and imprison us. Let them know that their time shall soon be at an end.
The time to reclaim our world has come. The spark must be lit.
At least your sickness shows that you are still human. Most people are not. It's not their fault though. They have been turned into zombies, empty shells, sucked dry.

Roll steady, stay well.
No need to apologize to us.
