About 7.3 million people have been asked to evacuate from Florida because of Hurricane Miltons soon arrival. By the time this will be posted, the hurricane would be over, but the aftereffects will have definitely not left. Now, instead of our government doing what it is supposed to do by properly evacuating everyone, they are of course more concerned about sending money to Israhell to continue a genocide. Some of you may be asking, “what does Hurricane Milton have to do with Palestine?” Blah, blah, blah. Actually, it has to do with everything!
In Florida, 7.3 million people have been asked to evacuate. How? Oh they just have to figure it out themselves! Flights could’ve been used to specifically evacuate people for free because you know, our governments job is to quite literally keep us safe. But no! Of course, flight companies jacked up there prices and now many can’t even afford a flight to get to safety.
In Florida people are writing their names on their limbs in case they die to be identified. Remind you of anything? Oh right! What people in Gaza have been doing. Palestinians bodies are being burned, ripped apart, buried alive. Because the mainstream media and our President have said they don’t believe the death toll numbers of Palestinians since October the 7th, Gaza’s have been writing their names and their identification number so even if their arm is suppurated from their charred body, it can still be recognized.
Our government is too concerned about Israhells right to self defense than being able to take care of their own people. Florida is a place that frequently feels hurricanes. It has however been getting worse in recent years. Of course, because of climate change. And of course, we all know the reason for climate change: money. For all of you who so deeply care about the climate but don’t have anything to say about the ecocide happening in Palestine right now, you need to get your morals checked AND your facts. I’m saying facts because to not admit the fact the the ongoing genocide has played a massive role in climate change in recent years you are blatantly ignoring one of the primary causes of climate change: our government.
Climate Change
There are so many ways that we could delay or even stop rising temperatures. That doesn’t just come from non-profit organizations and zero waste initiatives however. Because we live in a capitalist society, EVERYTHING is about the dollars. From factories to genocide. Israhell has been specifically targeting farming lands. According to the Humanti Project, “An estimated 75% or permanent cropland in Northern Gaza has been destroyed”. Not only is this contributing to the starvation in Gaza, but it is also contributing to ecocide. If you don’t know what an ecocide is, this is the Oxford Dictionaries definition: “destruction of the natural environment by deliberate or negligent human action”. We call what is happening in Palestine a genocide because it is a deliberately being wiped out. Israhell is a systematic killing machine being funded by our tax dollars. What is happening in Palestine is affecting all of us, climate change is just one part of it.
Back to Hurricane Milton
Have you heard the “First They Came” poem?
This is how it goes:
“
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
“
- Martin Niemöller
This poem was written post WWII, kind of like a confession. It’s sad though isn’t it how it still works today? Martin Niemöller, who was originally a Nazi, had his perspective changed when Hitler came to power.
I think this perfectly describes what’s happening right now.
People in THIS COUNTRY, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, are doing the same thing that Gazans are doing. Of course I know they are two completely different situations, but it is impossible not to see the connection. Our government doesn’t care about evacuating its people because they don’t care about us. Do you still not get it? They couldn’t care less about Palestinian children so why would they care about yours? What makes you different than a Palestinian? Palestinians lives hold the same values as you and I but remember that the fascists don’t care AT ALL. Republicans, democrats, they are all the same. When you realize this, you will realize that the people who are “disturbing your peace” protesting are absolutely 100% correct and you are on the wrong side of history. When you realize this you will realize that people who are protesting are protesting for Palestinians sake AND your sake AND all oppressed people forced to live in a corrupt system that is created for only profit.
If you STILL don’t think Palestine is your problem, here’s something to think about:
When YOUR country can spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a foreign, genocidal, zio-nazi nation DESPITE people protesting against it every single day AND can’t spend any money towards properly evacuating people during a climate crisis that they caused, IT IS YOUR PROBLEM.
Today it is Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Haiti, Lebanon, Venezuela, Yemen, Syria, Kashmir, Afghanistan, and tomorrow it will be you. It has already taken over the world, will you be a part of the effort to stop it before it is irreversible?
