The mass atrocity in Gaza is a genocide 
<https://substack.com/redirect/8bd48de0-49ed-4868-9b35-b94123d7e989?j=eyJ1IjoiNDg0OWljIn0.Y6K1LMhdrJlQZgVGsgH3ZN_uOH6pr27RwbiXoo1LXXA>, 
obviously, and is an undisguised ethnic cleansing operation 
<https://substack.com/redirect/23e02ed7-d682-47d9-b118-c4b46a85cd68?j=eyJ1IjoiNDg0OWljIn0.Y6K1LMhdrJlQZgVGsgH3ZN_uOH6pr27RwbiXoo1LXXA>.

But it’s also a lot more than that.

*It’s an experiment *— to see what kinds of abuses the public will 
accept without causing significant disruption to the imperial status quo.

*It’s a psychological operation* — to push out the boundaries of what’s 
normal and acceptable in our minds so that we will consent to even more 
horrific abuses in the future.

*It’s a symptom* — of Zionism, of colonialism, of militarism, of 
capitalism, of western supremacism, of empire-building, of propaganda, 
of ignorance, of apathy, of delusion, of ego.

*It’s a manifestation* — of violent racist, supremacist and xenophobic 
belief systems that have always been there but were previously 
restrained, meeting with the unwholesome nature of alliances that have 
long been in place but have been aggressively normalized.

*It’s a mirror *— showing us accurately and impartially who we currently 
are as a civilization.

*It’s a disclosure* — showing us what the western empire we live under 
really is underneath its fake plastic mask of liberal democracy and 
righteous humanitarianism.

*It’s a revelation* — showing us who among us really stands for truth 
and justice and who has been deceiving us about themselves and their 
motives this entire time.

*It’s a catalyst* — a galvanizing force and a rallying cry for all who 
realize that the murderous power structures we live under can no longer 
be allowed to stand, and a blaring alarm clock opening more and more 
snoozing eyes to the need for revolutionary change.

*It’s a test* — of who we are as a species and what we are made of, and 
of whether we can transcend the destructive patterning that is driving 
humanity to its doom.

*It’s a question* — asking us what kind of world we want to live in 
going forward, and what kind of people we want to be.

*It’s an invitation* — to become something better than what we are now.
