Surf feminist and prizewinning filmmaker Lucy Small reveals obsession with Gaza conflict

"1. Wake up and think about Gaza. 2. Watch the latest atrocities on phone. 3. Have breakfast think about Gaza."

Many brave and loud voices were heard in the surf community after twelve hundred Jews were either slaughtered, raped and, or, kidnapped by the Iranian-backed and trained religious extremist group Hamas on October 7. 

(From the preamble to the Hamas charter, “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it” and later “There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility.”)

The surf feminist and trans-in-sports-activist Lucy Small was among the loudest, although Andy St Onge and Surf Equity ran a close second and third, busily posting a series of stories after the attack. 

These included a reel  from Al Jazeera showing Hamas terrorists in paragliders landing in Israel and about to murder and rape indiscriminately with the caption, “Palestinians in Gaza made history as they escaped the world’s largest prison”. 

(Small explained the apparent contradiction of a feminist and trans-activist supporting a religious fascist group notorious for killing gays and subjugating women with, “The end of occupation may allow for healing. It is common in communities affected by armed violence, rates of domestic violence and violence against women are higher – it’s a tragic part of war.”)

In other words, the Jews made us do it! 

In another salvo, Lucy Small cleverly described Israel as being “at the nexus of colonisation, white supremacy, capitalism and (the) military industrial complex…”

Among today’s fusillade of stories, Small has revealed her obsession with the conflict with an eighteen-point explanation of an average day in the house of Chez Yay Hamas. 

Small asks, 

Anyone else’s day to day look a lot like:

1. Wake up and think about Gaza.

2. Watch the latest atrocities on phone. 

3. Have breakfast think about Gaza.

4. Surf and get really furious about Gaza.

5. 2 hours on phone watching new developments in Gaza.

6. Text friends about latest fury about Gaza.

7. Get really angry at the government. 

8. Read some more background on historical atrocities committed against Palestinians you didn’t know about. 

9. Feel sad and hopeless about Gaza.

10. Start trying to imagine what peace would look like. 

11. Think about the poor woman whose baby died crying as she says she got 580 injections to have him. 

12. Watch some videos of settlers attacking civilians in the West Bank. 

13. Tears in eyes thinking about Palestine. 

14. Start making plan to become the prime minister. 

15. Text friends for help.

16. Reply to some comments hoping someone might decide not to be Zionist.

17. Watch more videos and think about everyone Gaza.

18. Sleep. 

Sure beats my day. 

1. Wake up. 

2. Brief regime of push ups and, or, chin ups. 

3. Examine deltoids in mirror and run appreciative fingernail along slightly raised vein in bicep.

4. Look at surf. Think, tide too high or too low. 

5. Sauna. 

6. Copy story from Surfer and/or Stab.

7. Nap.

8. Be depressed, briefly, over myriad emotional failures and financial missteps.

9. Go to jiujitsu, get slept. 

How does your timetable operate?

Are you weeping for the brave Mohammedan freedom fighters or it don’t touch the sides, as they say?
