By the way, UNRWA has stated that only 65K people in Rafah are still alive. 6 weeks ago, there was 1.4M. Down to 65K from 1.4Mโ€ฆ. This is ethnic cleansing. Rafah was never meant to be a โ€œsafe spaceโ€ it was a death trap.

I love a tabletop RPG with a bounded experience and a clear vision of the story it wants to facilitate. Last Train to Bremen is a whopper of an American folktale about outrunning the Devil and your own sins.

this is interesting especially as "occupied territory" is a... pretty centrist way of framing things โ€“ a JStreet-esque hedge against talking about apartheid! theintercept.com/2024/04/15/โ€ฆ

Remember when they dismissed the UNโ€™s call for a ceasefire and undermined its power, going so far as to say its relief workers were Hamas? Makes you think.

Replying to @SeaExcursion
LAST TRAIN TO BREMEN uses snappy mechanics based on Liar's Dice to deliver a grim tale of secrets, backstabbing, and betrayal. Build your band, flee your cursed contract, and reflect together on all the choices that led you down this sorry path. seaexcursion.itch.io/bremen

The UN security council has finally passed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The US abstained but did not veto on this occasion. Outrageous it has taken this long and after so many Palestinians have been killed but important now to make it a reality.

Not sure this is a surprise when even Biden defied his own "red line" immediately after establishing it. If he really wanted to draw one, he could (and with consequences). Every moment he chooses not to, the cost in innocent lives increases.

Bearing witness is not a neutral act. It requires us to name the perpetrator not only the victim. Israel has killed almost 30,000 Palestinian men, women and children. Israelโ€™s genocide is funded, armed, supported by USA, UK, multiple EU nations. These are the perpetrators!

Rafah is literally as far south as you can go. Telling Palestinians to evacuate Rafah is straight up saying โ€œLeave Gaza or weโ€™ll kill youโ€. The fact this isnโ€™t being plainly stated by the media makes them active participants in this historical crime.
