"I think my head's about to explode" is what I say to myself when something too grotesque, absurd, horrible, or insanely hypocritical is happening - and I think it's how many of us feel when witnessing injustice. In my podcast, to deconstruct that feeling, I talk about interconnected systems of oppression. Militarism, imperialism, colonialism, and several other -isms are inevitably there. My political commentary has been about Palestine since the beginning and is mostly on Gaza these days. You can read more about my projects here: http://www.justinaposkeviciute.com/

    The Inconvenience of A Genocide

    Will anything happen after the International Association of Genocide Scholars released their declaration calling Israel's actions in Gaza as constituting genocide? The grotesque "So what now?" question reveals how our governments - with the exception of a small number of countries - have been treating this genocide until now. For them, the annihilation of a people has been one big inconvenience.

    It's Time to Admit The Israeli Army Is Exceptional Indeed

    It's time to admit that, in the end, the descriptors Zionists tend to use for the Israeli army might as well be true.The uniqueness of the Israeli army should definitely be acknowledged and exemplified -- just not exactly how Zionists do it.

    Germany Says It Will Suspend Its Arms to Israel: Let's Put It in Context

    Germany just announced it would suspend its arms to Israel - what does it mean? In short, it means the mass murder of children, journalists, health workers, and every single demographic of Gaza wasn't enough for Germany. A genocide wasn't a red line.But something that Netanyahu has now more officially stated - something that was so clear from the start - became a red line, it seems.Let's not forget how despicable this is.

    Three Updates on Violence Unleashed by Israel on Palestinian Children

    These are just some of the horrors of this genocide and of Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank. This is what supremacy, fascism, and complete impunity look like on the bodies of Palestinian children.

    Extermination of Gaza: A Reminder for When There Are No Words Left

    My "recommendation" is very pragmatic and just as simple: we repeat, we repeat, we repeat.We amplify again and again informed voices of conscience ✊🏽We talk about the same horrors all over again -- because they're still happening.And remember: Zionist propagandists aren't ashamed of repeating their propaganda points aimed at justifying this genocide.#Gaza #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine #Palestine #Palestina #Israel #IsraeliCrimes

  6. Three Phenomena to Call Out Regarding Israel's Aggression against Iran

    Three Phenomena to Call Out Regarding Israel's Aggression against Iran

    When it comes to warmongering, manufacturing concent, and using racist colonial narratives to justify aggression against a country that the West wants to make "obedient", we don't need to look for examples in history -- we can see what's happening to Iran. In my short episode, I invite you to notice, call out, condemn, and ridicule three important phenomena you've probably noticed.

  7. Gaza: On Multiple Levels of Shame -- And Heartbreak

    Gaza: On Multiple Levels of Shame -- And Heartbreak

    The profound shame surrounding witnessing an extermination of a people is very real, and - I claim - has different levels (layers, if you will). This, and the continuous heartbreak, is what I address in my episode, illustrating one of those shame levels with the stance of my own country, Lithuania. I do hope this episode is more than an essay-like recording; I hope it will remind you that inaction is not an antidote to anything here. #Gaza #GazaGenocide

  8. Zero Tolerance for The Psychosis of Zionism

    Zero Tolerance for The Psychosis of Zionism

    We have seen enough. We have seen too much, in fact. We have seen enough to show zero tolerance for those who still declare their loyalty to an ideology that has turned Gaza into a mass grave of children. They are out of touch with reality; they are unwell. And just like, I would assume, you show zero tolerance to anyone who self-identifies as a Nazi, it is high time treat Zionists in the same way.
