I was thinking about it more and I think another reason the rhetoric of "no Jews, no news" and "where were the protests for X issue" pisses me off aside from downplaying Palestinian efforts in raising awareness and organising for Palestine is that it assumes Palestinians have a wide range of support in comparison to other causes. Protests for X and Y issues are held and organised by those relevant communities but the particular issues Zionists love to hold up are already opposed by Western countries in which some of these communities live in. Syria being a great example of this. Western governments opposed Assad, provided funding to militias to oust him, saw his backers (Iran and Russia) as enemies etc, so naturally they strongly denounced his atrocities. This energy does not exist with Israel. The minute world leaders issue even the softest condemnation of Israel, Zionists go mad. But even then, we've seen support for Palestine grow a lot this past year, we've seen the ICJ rule that Israel is plausibly committing genocide, and we've seen the ICC issue arrest warrants but what has that achieved in reality? Not only do these governments still back Israel with funds and weapons, but they have done nothing to stop the war. Palestinians in Gaza are still killed daily, and Palestinians in the West Bank are still occupied. The only ones who were actually defending Palestinians were groups like Hezbollah and Houthis which the West has bombed due to their attacks on Israel, whilst Arab states supported that whilst standing idly by as Israel continues to destroy Gaza further. You must be living in some alternate universe to cynically assume that the vast majority of people care about Palestine and not X issue only because Jews are involved.

I finished my Masters in Library and Informational Science! People asked me what I wanted as a graduation gift and I said that all I want is for you to help out @abo-ataa to support his family this winter by donating to his paypal below.

Please consider donating to my friend Hussam, he has been displaced from his home in Rafah, and has to take care of his children in this freezing cold weather without even a proper tent! A few dollars will go a long way, no matter how small! Consider it a graduation gift for me if you appreciated any of my posts on tumblr!

I try not to give dumb Zionist propaganda like that ‘Gaza death toll inflated to vilify Israel’ article any attention to not give it any credence but it really does feel mindnumbingly absurd and even borderline insulting to hear of new massacres every single day with civilians of all ages being killed and not just to hear it but to see it as well, then zionists wanna claim it’s all made up. obviously it’s rooted in clear dehumanisation but also like we’re clearly not following the same war here. like have you ever thought there’s a reason why most of dead are claimed to be civilians and not in fact combatants / militants? seriously what a joke.

A video posted by dear uncle Khaled (khaledmnabhann) picking lilies as a tribute to Gaza and the people of the world...

A translation of what he says in the video:

(Comment from instagram user mydxbstyle - Translation: 'Today is 4 August 2024. Today, I put together this bouquet of lilies as a gift to the souls of the martyrs of Gaza, the people of Gaza, and the Arab and Islamic Nation, and to all Free People of the world!')

This is nothing new but it’s still wild to me how many people become outright Nazis when they talk about Palestinians

Reminder that notes/online attention are not a reliable indicator of how well a campaign is going.

You might see fundraising posts with thousands of notes on your dash daily and think to yourself "this person must be doing fine!"

I wish that were true. I saw a post earlier referring to people with fundraisers as "those fortunate enough to have internet clout" but unfortunately internet clout is not a currency that can buy food and other necessities. It's only a testament to how much effort that person spends desperately networking in order to make ends meet, and often not succeeding at that. These people do not have an advantage.

I spotlight for @dr-anas96 and his posts consistently get a lot of notes. He's vetted here.

Here's an interview in English and Spanish he did for AJ+. and also here's a recent article about him in Spanish.

And where does that get him?

He's barely at 19% of his goal, as of today, December 13th, which marks 6 months since he started fundraising.

Anas is slowly dying of starvation and of his illnesses that he cannot currently get treated for. Don't be fooled by the amount of notes this will get. If you can spare a dollar please don't hesitate to donate here.

who do you reckon would win in a fight ? your average “Islam is taking over our beloved western society and ruining it we need to deport every immigrant” right wing cookers or “the jews are to blame for everything” right wing cookers?

[halalchampagnesocialist]

i really hate the discourse and back and forth of “jesus was Palestinian” and “no, he was a Jew!” because it’s just a distraction in the grand scheme of things. Like obviously the two aren’t mutually exclusive. But it also points to something a bit more insidious and that’s denying Palestinian Christians their cultural and religious connection to Jesus. Especially because we know there are Palestinian Christians (and Muslims even) descended from ppl who lived in Palestine during 1st century (and beforehand) and I feel like a lot of the strong reaction to saying Jesus was Palestinian is about denying Palestinians that connection and it’s just really ignorant bc there are also Palestinian Christian communities in Palestine that aren’t Arab either

anyway who cares really but it’s just so annoying

Seeing the way Israeli apologists are reacting to the news in Syria makes me realise these people only care about themselves. Psychopaths.

[halalchampagnesocialist]

On the other hand, seeing all these Western imperialists froth at the mouth of Iran’s loss of proxies and power is funny. Because that will not protect Israel any more. Israel is so far gone at this point and is only heading down a treacherous road. American empire itself is in decline. I don’t think there’s any salvation left.

[halalchampagnesocialist]

Seeing some of the responses to what's happening in Syria and I understand some of the suspicion but I really wish we, as leftists, would move away from hailing anything that is anti-Western as inherently "good." Syrian religious and ethnic minorities have a valid fear of the opposition mostly being Islamist but that doesn't make Assad the good guy, come on. He is literally responsible for murdering and torturing thousands of his own people. Besides, our aim as leftists in defeating US hegemony and imperialism in the region isn't to welcome Russian imperialism with open arms, that defeats the purpose.

I am making this post once again to ask for your support for Ghada, who is facing unimaginable hardships in Gaza. The situation remains dire, and his family needs continue to grow. While we’ve seen incredible generosity, donations have started to slow down, and Ghada’s struggle is far from over.

Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in her life. With your help, we can provide food, medical care, and essential supplies that are desperately needed right now.

it feels really frustrating to see zionists blame Palestinian protests and ‘anti-Israel sentiment’ for the burning of the synagogue in Melbourne when we don’t know who even committed the arson attack. the thing is majority of people protesting for Palestine will agree that this is an abhorrent attack regardless but even then, to blame Palestinian protestors who are out here protesting the genocide of our people is not just a weird conflation of Jews with Israel but also incredibly weird way of trying to blame Palestinians (+allies) w/o knowing all the facts yet. that being said, the attack is abhorrent and reprehensible however you paint it

[halalchampagnesocialist]

Seeing Zionists on twitter go collectively mad over Amnesty’s report that Israel is committing genocide is hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetically stupid because the problem with these people is not that they don’t think it’s genocide, it’s that they don’t think Israel is committing any sort of war crimes or crimes against humanity against Palestinians at all

[halalchampagnesocialist]

Zionists are constantly obsessed with bringing up the past when you bring up the facts of the present. even if this was true, which it isn’t, this is literally all irrelevant!!!

[halalchampagnesocialist]

i think it’ll be fascinating when all this is done and we’ll get proper analysis of oct 7 and everything that followed ie the current war/genocide and said analysis will prove why zionists were wrong, but unfortunately by that time it’ll be too late the damage is done (it already is)

While you're here, Hanan and her family need your help!

Hanan and her husband have 3 young children, Lana (10), Abdul Karim (7), and Adam (2); since last year they've been displaced and without income.

Their house in Khan Younis was destroyed with them inside, as well as the clothing store which supported their family. Now, they live in a weak tent which fails to protect them from even the weather, surrounded by scarcity and disease on the coast of Ghazzah.

To help them evacuate and rebuild their lives, they are trying to raise $100,000 USD. So far, they've only raised $9,695; not even 1/10th of their goal.

Please help them however you can, whether it be by donating or sharing their campaign. Every contribution matters.
