It is not a neutral “conflict”. Palestinians don’t have:
- an army
- police officers littered around the streets fighting off attacking settlers
- $3.8B funding from the US
- bomb shelters
- homes (hello they’re being evicted and bombed?)
- immediate access to medical care (settlers are blocking ambulances and throwing grenades)
- citizen acknowledgement from the government that supposedly wants to help them
- means of defending themselves
- the right to properly mourn (a funeral was recently attacked by settlers)
- justice
Anyone who chooses to claim neutrality is choosing to claim the side of genocide. Neutral = complicit. The number of Palestinian deaths remains staggering and I promise, the occupying state’s numbers are nothing compared to it. Thousands more deaths and fatalities have occurred to the Palestinian people. When the death toll defers by roughly 9,000, I think it’s safe to say that the situation isn’t neutral.*
I repeat, if you are neutral, you side with genocide.

ZOË KRAVITZ IS THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST ACTOR OF 2020. “To love Zoë Kravitz is to fear two minutes of screen time a pop. The longer she’s got, the smokier and more incandescent she gets. “High Fidelity,” a series remake of the 2000 movie, is almost all her, simmering as a heartsick record-shop owner named Rob. She moves through her breakups and bad decisions serenely unfazed. In Episode 5, Rob goes to town on a mansplaining lech who doubts she knows her Bowie and McCartney. My pulse shot up. Kravitz’s seemed fine. We were watching a star casually announce herself. Hulu, sadly, canceled the show. But not before we saw what Kravitz could do with something intended as all hers: own it.”
