Oh fuck.

This kind of news feels like it just keeps coming. I don't know quite what there is to say. I think most Americans adding "I stand with Israel" to Facebook profile pics don't know that the people in charge of Israel are authoritarian ethnonationalists.

Jailing people for sharing truthful information that is critical of the government is just miles away from what anyone considers acceptable, democratic behavior.

Everything just keeps getting worse. Every time one side screws up, the other side doesn't capitalize on it -- they try to outdo it
