The Air In Gaza Smells Like Corpses
The newspapers keep saying the air in Gaza smells like corpses.
Like rotting human flesh; the entire Gaza Strip.
They say it emanates from the rubble.
Pervades everything.
It’s just what Gaza smells like,
like how Hershey, Pennsylvania smells like chocolate,
or how Milpitas, California smells like landfill.
I bet you can never get the smell out.
Out of your clothes.
Out of your hair.
Out of your dreams.
Out of your heart.
I bet none of us can.
Gaza smells like rotting corpses, and
our whole civilization smells like Gaza.
You walk into a Starbucks and it hits you.
You go watch Trump’s inaugural address and there it is.
The smell of rotting dead children wafts from our own ruins.
Fills our minds.
Fills our nightmares.
Fills the speech of the yammering pundit.
Fills the feigned joy of the social media influencer.
Fills the light pouring from our screens onto our faces in the dark.
We can scrub as hard as we like,
but that smell’s never coming out.
It will follow us straight down to hell.

The genocide extended to Lebanon is a diversion in order to lure Hezbollah and the resistance elsewhere while the zionist wage its ethnic cleansing attacks on Gaza and the West bank with full complicity of the US and most western countries (UK, EU/NATO controlled countries like France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, etc…) while the zionist wage its ethnic cleansing attacks on Gaza and the West bank with full complicity of the US and most western countries (UK, EU/NATO controlled countries like France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, etc…)

In the Israeli regime’s 396 days of onslaught on Gaza as of Tuesday, two-thirds of the total structures in the narrow strip have been damaged, according to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
Those 66 percent of damaged buildings in Gaza account for 163,778 structures in total.
“Israeli military is employing private civilian companies & non-military personnel in flattening homes in Rafah,” he wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “Meshek Afar Ltd has been in the city for 3 days. An employee now in Rafah uploaded this below & said that its CEO will flatten a mosque tomorrow,” he added, sharing a video of Meshek Afar CEO Alon Elgali and another company staff navigating through the rubble in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza.
Has Israel already started colonizing Gaza?

‘Ethnic cleansing on industrial scale’
“The depravity knows no bounds. The goal has always been the ethnic cleansing of Palestine,” wrote Radia Hennessey, a human rights advocate, on X.
She further noted that Alon Elgali, the CEO of Meshek Afar, must not evade legal accountability, as civilians are also subject to prosecution for war crimes under the jurisdiction of both the International Criminal Court (ICC) and national courts.

The attack on Lebanon is a diversion, the zionists are taking over Gaza and the West Bank, this is genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Your mock governments are complicit.
