Israel’s genocide didn’t need permission. It didn’t need provocation. It didn’t need a reason. It needed cover. And people like Scott Ritter provide it. He says we "helped facilitate it" by supporting Palestinian resistance? No. We exposed it. We stripped away the mask of a regime already carrying out slow-motion genocide, while the world pretended it was just "defending itself." You don’t build bridges in a slaughterhouse. You don’t negotiate with someone bombing bakeries, leveling hospitals, and turning refugee camps into mass graves. You don’t ask the occupied to "share responsibility" for the blood spilled by their occupiers. Ritter speaks of "dialogue" like it’s neutral. But when one side holds the bomb and the other holds a funeral, "dialogue" becomes a stalling tactic. He calls for "bridge-building" while Gaza is being turned into a graveyard. He asks Palestinians to talk with their executioners. But who gave Israel the right to play both "executioner" and "victim" in the same breath? Let's be clear: Dialogue is not the first step. Justice is. And justice begins by naming the crime. By holding the criminals accountable. By refusing to pretend that "both sides" are equally guilty in a genocide. So here’s my message to Scott Ritter: Go give your speech. Shake hands. Preach balance. But know this: You’re not building peace. You’re not laying a bridge. You’re laying down the welcome mat for murder, And calling it diplomacy.
