i like to think that our blogs are just our own little personal museums of all the things we like, and we can visit each other’s museums and leave nice notes at the reception.

in a time where palestinians in sheikh jarrah and other neighborhoods whose houses are on the precipice of being stolen and occupied by israeli settlers are literally ASKING people to amplify their voices so that their stories are heard so they have a fighting chance for a semblance of justice, it is outrageous and completely unacceptable for some to say that people aren’t required to have an “opinion” about the “israeli-palestinian conflict”

first of all call it what it is: the illegal israeli occupation of palestine. calling it a “conflict” is wrong, because implies that both parties are on equal footing and have equal power. understand and acknowledge that it is a colonial relationship of domination and subjugation. anyone telling you it’s a “clash of civilizations” and a culmination of a centuries old feud between two religions is misinforming you and also perpetuating the myth that the “conflicts” in the middle east are due to civilizational backwardness stemming from religion and archaic cultural practices

second, what happened to “if you’re neutral in situations of injustice you have chosen the side of the oppressor”? why are people so scared of non-neutrality and educating themselves when there is a whole robust academic field with scholars from all over establishing the history and politics of the occupation? if you need reading material here are some books/articles/scholars to start with:

Regina Sharif, Non-Jewish Zionism Hannah Arendt, “Zionism Reconsidered” Michael Selzer, The Aryanization of the Jewish State Walter Laqeuer, A History of Zionism Ali Abunimah, The Battle for Justice in Palestine Ella Shohat, "Sephardim in Israel: Zionism from the Standpoint of its Jewish Victims" Michael Hart, Social Science and the Politics of Modern Jewish Identity Edward Said, The Question of Palestine Lenni Brenner, Zionism in the Age of the Dictators, A Reappraisal Rashid Khalidi, Palestinian Identity Joseph Massad, The Persistence of the Palestinian Question Shlomo Sand, The Invention of the Jewish People Ghassan Kanafani, Men in the Sun Ghassan Kanafani, Returning to Haifa Sara Roy, The Gaza Strip. The Political Economy of De-Development Neve Gordon, Israel’s Occupation Jeroen Gunning, Hamas in Politics Israel Shahak and Norton Mezvinsky, Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel

you should be able to find most if not all the books on libgen.is

finally, if you can’t do that, then keep up with the people on the ground in sheikh jarrah who are providing updates on the situation: journalists mohammad el-kurd @m7mdkurd and muna el-kurd @munakurd.13 based in occupied jerusalem

I recently read an article how journaling can make a person develope and as a person who keeps up with a number of youtube channels of daily/weekly vloogs ranging from cooking to lifestyle with @matt_d’evella to #nerdfighteria with hank and john i discovered alot of things that opened my eyes.

in other words it’s step for me to give back and experience the difference of journaling and doccumeting a part of my life .it might even be step for me to dust off my writting and keeping up with my thoughts .

i shared different type of content out here before .now it’s gonna be mostly text so enjoy the experience of taking a look on my progress
