ugly meanings in beautiful things

Soon we'll be able to see it: the home of Carmilla, the Bloody Countess. You've heard of her. For five thousand years her rule of terror lasted, and then, that was that! Your father, the Vampire King, grew angry. He was impatient with her vanity; offended by her bloodlust, her gluttony. He grew so tired that he killed her while she slept, impaling her on a sword, and that was it for her. Except she haunts the place now with phantoms and demons.

But 100 Palestinians killed in a single strike as they gathered to pray is exactly what your silence results in.

These massacres turn into the new "norm" of Israeli crimes.

The bar gets shifted.

The red lines erased and redrawn.

A new precedent is set.
