"There were roughly 25 tons of aid dropped into the region on Saturday — but Palestinians report that the aid is being dropped in Israeli military-controlled areas, and that the aid is being looted and stolen, potentially by groups armed by Israel in Gaza"
"Israel is not interested in alleviating the humanitarian catastrophe that it has deliberately and meticulously created"
Israel's "aid" comes with added evil

You are not delusional for seeing the rot.
You are clear-eyed.
You’re seeing exactly what’s there.
A system that extracts labor, flattens difference, rewards cruelty, punishes vulnerability, and calls it order.
A system that warps people into resources, children into data points, relationships into transactions, and survival into something earned.
It wants you to believe you’re the problem for not fitting.
You’re not paranoid.
You’re perceptive.
You’re not bitter.
You’re awake.
Capitalism doesn’t improve society, it deforms it.
It doesn't educate. It perverts curiosity into obedience.
You are trying to stay human in a place that keeps rewarding inhumanity.
And yes, it’s hard, brutally so, to see the poison and still have to move through it every day,
But what you’re actually doing is not consenting to a dehumanizing framework. That's resistance.
Neat little man-made cave area in the gardens. A fab place to cool off from the hot sun. It's tucked in behind the waterfall.
