Israel bombing the proclaimed “safe-zone” of Rafah is a genocidal tactic we have seen before;
In April 2009, the Sri Lankan military had proposed safe-zones to Tamil citizens, pushing them into the Mu’l’li-vaaykkaal region of North-Eastern Sri Lanka, near the Kilinochchi district. Upon urging Tamil refugees to this very small area of land on the coast, Sri Lanka bombed the location and surrounding areas 25 times. These bombings targeted hospitals and humanitarian operations dedicated to helping Tamil civilians displaced and wounded. Sri Lanka actually admitted to bombing the proposed safe zones, after images were leaked to the UN— but claimed the raids were aimed at Tamil Tiger militants and not civilians.
The Tamil resistance group, the Tamil Tigers, were also branded as an international Terrorist organisation by the United States, UN and Britain in 2001, for resisting anti-Tamil violence by the Sri Lankan Sinhalese state.
Israel funded Sri Lanka during the course of the Sri Lankan civil war— the Tamil genocide— providing military training and armament to Sri Lanka and thus knowingly aiding the genocide of over 40,000 Tamil people.
ISRAEL are repeating the same genocidal tactics they had aided in Sri Lanka just over 20 years ago.

israel saying that they're only bombing mosques because hamas is using them "to store weapons" and destroying universities because "they're being used as training facilities for hamas"..... is like watching exactly what the sri lankan government did when they carried out a genocide on eelam tamil ppl in northern sri lanka in 2009. this is the same old genocidal playbook. sri lanka called the tamil resistance fighters a bunch of terrorists too. they wiped out hundreds of thousands of ppl - resistance fighters and civilians alike under the pretext of "only" targeting the "terrorists". sri lanka bombed schools saying that "terrorists" were using them to train their "youth army" meanwhile innocent school going children were blown apart. they bombed civilian shelters on purpose saying that terrorists were using these places to hide. same goes for hospitals as well. anyone who's been paying attention to resistance movements around the world knows israel's playbook like the back of their hand. because we've seen this before. and we've seen the innocent lives that it costs. we've been seeing this all play out again and again, only now in a different part of the world... and like before, the world watches while letting it all happen. this breaks my heart. truly.

I was on vacation in India with my family. We bought a chocolate cake. On the packaging, it had words in Tamil that I couldn’t read so we asked for a translation. It said, “contains a surprisingly small amount of chicken”.
I have never been to India.

I love how in tamil, no one really says bye. Instead, we say 'poitu varen', which means I'll go now and come back later. Even other variations of goodbye all have the same meaning in tamil, which I'll go but come back. It makes me quite happy.

(the "joke" is from my 80yo granny — "an MIL was rushing so much to cook her SIL a big meal that she forgot to put on clothes. her SIL screamed and said, 'cover, cover [up]!' but she thought it was about the open pots and pans until she tried to wipe off a spill with her drape—💀")

movies about friendship by big directors are just mainstream heroes realising they're partly (?) gay.
