There is such a thing as when entire societies seemingly becoming active participants in a genocide. Their very culture is geared towards not just the extermination of the Other, but also the continuous erasure of the victims even as they are murdered.

May your offspring avert their faces from you

Understand that this is who we are dealing with. The Telegram channel has over 100,000 subscribers. This is how they reacted to a man finding out his twin babies and his wife were murdered as he was on his way to register their births.

They celebrate each and every Palestinian death. They thoroughly document the deaths to make sure they don’t miss. The more horrified a Palestinian is, the more they celebrate.

Incredibly, surreally: I just posted the Primo Levi poem when I saw this post by a Gazan collective on Twitter.

Compare.

Today’s footage from the hell that is Israel’s genocide in Gaza is the corpse of a young boy. He has no bottom as it was blown off in a blast. They found his head and torso on a tree branch and his legs on the ground.

I’m so sorry little boy. I’m so so sorry.

@alter_kaker the photo of the mourning father is from Monday/Tuesday as that’s when his family was killed

Do you have the link to the Telegram message? I don't know much about Telegram but I'd like to take a screenshot without the translation. If not I can try to find it myself

@ayoub
A lot of those guys were reading Lamentations on Monday night and fasting on Tuesday to remember the destruction of Jerusalem. I have no words

@alter_kaker I’ll try and find the link. Sadly there are so many such comments like the ones in response to this post x.com/jackyhugi/status/1823468

By the way, I don't know if this interested you at all but last Saturday, we were reading Isaiah 1:1-27 as preparation for Tuesday's fast. The whole section is worth reading, but of particular relevance is verse 21: "Alas, she has become a whore,
The faithful city
That was filled with justice,
Where righteousness dwelt—
But now murderers."

And of course Lamentations itself, written about 150 years later by the Prophet Jeremiah, will sound familiar, like a recurring nightmare.
