lot of people have ossified thoughts about Chapo and what they were ten years ago, but I remain adamant that they have been EXCELLENT covering the genocide in Gaza (mostly Will and Felix) and the protests movements here. And this is proof that shit absolutely does matter to Palestine. Great job Will

My dear brother William @willmenaker
Today, we did not send you an ordinary message of gratitude. Instead, we decided to write our gratitude on the walls of Gaza itself.
The young members of Project Mohammed painted your portrait on one of the walls still standing amid the destruction, because your voice has never been merely distant words to us.
Here, your voice has become water for thirsty children, bread for hungry families, and meals for people exhausted by hunger.
The war may have destroyed the buildings around us, but it could never erase the gratitude in our hearts. We wanted your portrait to remain here, among the people you stood beside during the most difficult days of their lives.
When the children saw the mural, we told them:
"This is William—a man who may be far away, but whose heart is very close to Gaza. His voiceWhen the children saw the mural, we told them:
"This is William—a man who may be far away, but whose heart is very close to Gaza. His voice helped bring you water and bread."
This is not simply a portrait on a shattered wall. It is a message from Gaza to you:
You did not witness our suffering and remain silent.
You helped the world see and hear us.
Because of you, our team has been able to give thousands of families a measure of hope and life.
From the children of Gaza, the young members of Project Mohammed, and the depths of our hearts: thank you, brother. You have become part of the story of this place, and your impact will remain engraved in our hearts—even if these walls disappear one day.

Plenty of contemporary comedy gazes upon American stupidity and concludes that Americans are stupid. The Chapo Trap House anthology "Chunks" suggests instead that people behave strangely because the world around them has become so strange.
