Harris now begins her defeat speech. Most expect it to lose in some states due to the Biden administration's support for Israel and its promise to stand by Gaza. Unfortunately, Trump will also not stand with Gaza, and since his term, he has declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.Please support Gaza because in reality there is no administration or president who stands by the oppressed people of Gaza. Only free peoples stand by them. In this difficult time, I call on you to support my oppressed family in Gaza.

Please stand by my family from famine and devastating war

Employers desire foreign workers who are accustomed to the hazardous work sites of industrial construction; in particular, they specifically solicit migrants who do not have a history of labor organizing within SWANA. In response, labor brokerage firms brand themselves as offering migrant workers who are deferential. Within business transactions, employers and brokers use the terminology of seasoned as code for workers who embody a variety of qualities that lend to them being acculturated to dangerous working conditions without engaging in dissent. However, the manner in which South Asian workers are marketed as compliant is to be noted. Often, labor brokers conflate the category of South Asian with docility; the aim is to position themselves as the only provider of seasoned workers.

[...] While the public image of the South Asian American community remains as model minorities, presumed to be primarily upwardly mobile professionals, the global reality of the population is quite to the contrary. A significant majority of the community numbering more than a billion are laborers within the informal economy of South Asia as well as occupy low-wage jobs within global markets.

Embedded within these processes is a long history of outward migration into the oil economies of SWANA. From the historic colonial routes initiated by British occupation of South Asia to the emergence of energy markets within the countries of SWANA, migrants have been recruited to build industries by contributing their labor to construction projects. Within the last decade, these South Asian migrants, with experience in the SWANA oil industry, have been actively solicited as guest workers into the energy sector of the United States. The growth of hydraulic fracturing has opened new territory for oil extraction; capitalizing on the potential market are numerous stakeholders who have invested in industrial construction projects across the southwestern United States. The solicitation of South Asian construction workers is not coincidental. [...]

"We say quality, they [U.S. employers] say seasoned. We both know what it means. Workers who are not going to quit, not going to run away in the foreign country and do as they are told.” [...]

Hari of S.K. Rao Industries, a labor brokerage firm in India, shares a similar account of how to distinguish their firm among foreign employers. “We have a good system, that’s what we show the foreign companies. We know how to find seasoned workers. Our quality is high, we won’t give you a group that’s going to create trouble. . . . The workers we select are not trying to change the whole system. They want to work, get paid, and go home.”

My family, my dear friends and everyone who knows me or not.

My name is Issam, I live in Gaza, and I'm 29 years old. Everyone who knows me knows that I am a reserved, quiet and reclusive person. I have always been an independent person and used to do everything myself for my family. So, I hope you understand that today it's difficult for me to talk about my personal issues and finally ask for help

I will tell you my story briefly, after I realized some of my dreams a short time ago by marrying my life partner and moving into my house, which we only stayed in for a few days until we were in the middle of the war, we fled to save ourselves and stay alive, we lost hope in life after all our dreams that we had dreamed of since childhood were shattered

One of our dreams was to settle in the house we built stone by stone and be happy like other couples, but we couldn't because of the war.

I used to work as a lawyer in several companies, I am unemployed, I lost my job, I have no source of income, and everything I saved I put in the house, the house was destroyed and I have nothing now.

This is a picture of me as a lawyer with the head of the Bar Association

My wife and I decided to start a fundraising campaign so that we can get some money to evacuate us after we lost everything, to rebuild our house that was destroyed by the occupation, and to get food, water and other necessities of life so that we can live first and then think about our future, which we don't know anything about.

Now, this is our house, which was destroyed by the occupation after my wife and I equipped it

The place where we live now is devoid of all the necessities of life, and we struggle with access to water, food, safety, and all the necessities needed to live.

I realize that we're all going through tough times, so anything that helps, whether it's your love and support, your donation, sharing my story, or sending love and prayers, it's all accepted and greatly appreciated, and I hope that anyone who is able to help me will help me and spread the link, because literally every dollar makes a difference.

[cypheranachem]

the fact that they got bill clinton to go to michigan and just spout anti-palestinian rhetoric in an effort to appeal to arabs should make people aware that the dems are literally do not care about Palestinians in the least so you should stop saying "dems would be better for Palestine" when that is objectively not true. vote for harris if you want but keep palestine out of your mouths.

if anyone is trying to donate to help in Gaza through orgs, these ones were just banned by the Israeli government with no reason given and can no longer operate in Gaza (at least for now).

these are the orgs: Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association, Glia Project, Palestinian American Bridge, PalMed, Baitulmaal, FAJR, Palestinian American Medical Association, Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund

from what i’ve been told by people who have been working in/coordinating aid in Gaza, Palestinian Red Crescent Society, World Central Kitchen, and Anera are unaffected by this order, but everyone has been limited in what they can bring in. while the middle two aren’t medical orgs, they have been bringing in some medicine. PRCS is a red cross affiliate providing medical care.

(not trying to sway anyone’s donations but wanted to put this out there since PCRF has been the org i’ve recommended several people donate to previously.)

on the "gazavetters" situation

For those unaware, the blog "gazavetters" which claimed to be run by legitimate Gazans on the ground and was verifying Gazan fundraisers, has been purged and a vague message was left on the blog seemingly discrediting vetting as a whole.

Myself and the team in @gaza-evacuation-funds are not associated with them and we never have been.

Their message is too vague to say what the actual intent behind it is, as it is written by ESL speakers. It seems to be criticizing the vetting practice rather than the fundraisers themselves but zionists will hear what they want to hear. The message is currently being co-opted by the racist and cruel "all Gazans are scammers" gang because of the vague nature of the message. Do Not be drawn in by that or fall into their racist trap.

Unfortunately it is hard to say the damage this vague message has done to many possibly legitimate fundraisers on the gazavetters list, as their legitimacy is now up in the air, in addition to every other gazan on tumblr fundraising for their families.

Though we are incredibly disappointed and puzzled by how things have been handled by gazavetters, we are investigating what happened there because we are commited to legitimate gazan fundraisers and deserving people continuing to get the support that they need.

Regardless of our findings, it is a reality that we may not be able to re-verify every single family on their list. And all we can offer is to try and shed more light on the situation. And unfortunate as it is that many families' legitimacy was harmed, we can't be held responsible for the actions of others.

Please avoid reblogging fundraisers vetted by gazavetters for the time being until we are able to confirm whether we can still consider these fundraisers as legitimate.

There is nobody who actually believes 90-ghost is a scammer. as far as I remember he’s been on here for years how fucking evil can people be to defame someone who not only has lived under genocide but also has made immeasurable efforts to help other people throughout everything he’s been through. Anyone claiming otherwise is doing so intentionally

a must read

Watch how your favorite pundit reacts when Palestinians take up armed struggle or consort with actors beyond the U.S. sphere of influence.  Does the pundit drop the crowd-pleasing slogans and start yammering about strategic errors and moral failures among the resistance?  Does the pundit exhibit a sudden compulsion to nuance?  Does the pundit begin ruminating about how this-or-that U.S. enemy is actually worse than Israel?  Those are your tells.  Those are the habits that earn fancy credentials.

[...]

We should aspire to something better than being merely tolerated.  We needn’t be grateful just to be seen; we can articulate compassion through obstinance and reproach.  Anti-Zionism isn’t simply a politic; it is a sensibility, an attitude, a worldview.  It is a refusal to accept any society predicated on suffering and displacement.  It detests the ruling class.  It rejects the misery presented as natural under capitalism.  It honors those old revolutionary devotions:  fuck Israel; fuck landlords; fuck civility; fuck the police.

The solidarity movement of the United States is no closer to effecting Palestine’s liberation than it was fifty years ago.  In some ways, our position is worse, for fifty years ago our marginality indemnified us from easy cooptation or infiltration.  Palestine has largely been appended to a social democratic left with a nagging habit of abandoning the nation and its people in service to electoral success.  This legibility in leftist spaces has diminished rather than solidified the revolutionary properties of Palestinian resistance.  Being nothing in this country wasn’t so bad, after all.

i mentioned this when talking about the most recent racism against palestinians on tumblr but you'll repeatedly notice that these people genuinely interpret the world through a terminal case of anonymised people global south. i'm certainly not a standpoint epistemologist or anything but you'll never see these bloggers even cite the palestinian activists, intellectuals and journalists that are recognised in the west at this point – not edward said or mahmoud darwish, not steve salaita or rashid khalidi, not mohammed el kurd not emmy winning journalists on the ground like bisan al-owda. and the effect of that is to make it easy to intellectually dismiss any palestinian you see, because they are not real in your mental landscape, not agents of history, history is merely done to them.

If you see a Zionist saying "landback" in reference to Israel block or beat their ass and tell them they're racist for saying it

That is a Native American term used to spread ideas of native sovereignty and to help fundraise in the name of landback.

And what we're not gonna do is let a bunch of zionazis use it and drag the term through the fucking mud, redefining it, and associating it with fucking genocide of all things.

I REFUSE to let Zionazis be associated with it and you should too. Fuck Zionists.

"Zionism is a landback movement" kys

One of the first things people ask me when I talk about landback is if that means everyone but natives will be displaced and I say no. No, everyone else will Not be displaced. That's anti-indigenous fearmongering so people are demotivated from supporting natives.

And it's not any less anti-indigenous when Israeli Nazis commit genocide and claim its a landback movement.

When Katy Grable Gonzalez, 29, beads the words “Land Back” into a pair of earrings to sell she is simultaneously referencing three different land reclamation movements fought by her relatives. On her father’s side, the Yaqui are fighting against a border wall between the Mexican state of Sonora and the Southwestern United States and Native Hawaiians are resisting the construction of a telescope on sacred mountain Maunakea. On her mother’s side, the Huichol have clashed with the Mexican government over mining and drilling operations on their sacred lands. When the earrings are sold, Grable Gonzalez donates the majority of the proceeds to organizations on the frontlines of the movements for Black lives and Indigenous sovereignty, as well as to the Navajo Nation COVID relief fund. She also transfers funds directly to individuals in need of bail or rent

Started by Canadian memer Arnell Tailfeathers, “Land Back” memes have primarily been focused on criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his policy of reconciliation with Indigenous people, and complicity with pipeline developers. The phrase has been invoked by Land Protectors opposing the construction of major pipelines on disputed land, such as the Coastal GasLink Pipeline and the expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline, whose slated construction is being opposed by a group called Tiny House Warriors that re-settled areas along the proposed route. They maintain the Trans Mountain Pipeline cannot cross “unceded Secwepemc Territory.” Since mid-July, a camp named “1492 Land Back Lane” has been resisting planned development in the town of Caledonia, Ontario in defense of Haudenosaunee sovereignty.

Today, there is no place more justified for LandBack than Palestine, where Israeli “settlers” (with military backing) have pushed them off their land and slaughtered them for generations. According to the LandBack manifesto “Our struggle is interconnected with the struggles of all oppressed Peoples. It is a future where Black reparations and Indigenous LandBack coexist. We are the land.” Going far beyond economics, LandBack sees land as tied to culture: regaining land is central to efforts by the colonized to assert their existence. It advocates decolonization, dismantling white supremacy, and reclaiming stewardship to save their land. Palestinian efforts to regain their land can become a spark to mobilize LandBack across the globe.

Indigenous people from all over Turtle Island and abroad are sharing, “Land Back also includes Free Palestine.”

Being indigenous is about who claims you. If a tribe claims you, you're indigenous. Before blood quantum that's how it worked. You didn't need to be native by blood to be part of a tribe. Before blood quantum we didn't lay claim to a tribe using documents. The tribe claimed us.

And you know who we claim? Who we say is one of us? Who we think is native? Palestinians.

And as is typical of colonizers, Zionists are trying to force their way into being indigenous by twisting our words and ways.

"well we want our landback too" they say. A perversion of the word and what it stands for. Colonizers have no fucking respect for natives and each time one of them says "landback" while they justify genocide they show how fucking disrespectful they are. Every time they call Palestinians "savages" we know this isnt a landback movement.

They don't claim us. They don't get to force their way into indigeneity. They don't get to Force us to accept them as one our own. We don't belong to colonizers and they will never ever be one of us. We don't claim colonizers and settlers.

Being indigenous is about much more than a land claim, it's about dismantling white supremacy too, and if they were really indigenous they'd fucking know that. It's about caring for the land.

And if Zionists cared at ALL about dismantling white supremacy they wouldn't have recreated the white supremacy triangle towards Palestinians.

Landback doesn't mean genocide and it never will
