“I’ve seen a lot of empire loyalists going ‘Why aren’t the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?’ If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he’ll attack the kid again. And then at some point you’d start wondering why the guy isn’t in jail. They actually expected a bunch of parades and trophies for pausing a genocide. They thought they’d get applause and adoration and then everything would go back to how it was pre-2023. That’s adorable. That’s precious. Not gonna happen, but it’s cute that they thought it would.” (10/13/25)
