whenever zionists do the whole "israel can't be a white supremacist state there are many middle eastern Israelis" in my head it feels like: diversity win! The settlers who razed your village to the ground are also brown!

Your ignoring is one of the reasons for our death ‼️

My words fail to express what is in the heart, but I will say that hunger is deadly and our children are not hungry, but they have been starved, so do not be the reason for that.

I, Ahmed, appeal to you with a voice of humanity and a living conscience. My four children, Batool, nine years old; Aseel, eight years old; Bahaa, five years old; and Leen, three years old, and my wife, who is pregnant with a young child, have no money, no food, and no shelter.

Please keep Gaza in your prayers.

On behalf of my friend Mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 I'd really like to draw your attention to his campaign. He's a university student who has been splitting his time between supporting his family during this genocide and extreme crisis andalso supporting his community.

He's currently saving up to pursue his education, even under these conditions. His fundraiser has reached 32K out of 35K, and he is very eager to close his campaign so he can truly focus on continuing to support the community through endeavors like @isnadfoundation which he founded and is organizing currently.

And though he has all of this pressure and stress on his mind, like every other Gazan, he is suffering due to the exorbitant costs of food. He barely even has the time or energy to advocate for his own fundraiser with all the work he has been taking on. And yet, he needs this money to feed himself and his family.

If you can support him in any way, please consider donating to his family's fundraising campaign.

You can also donate to his Paypal.

hello everypuppy, today's reading assignment is the outstandingly influential Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage Of Imperialism by revolutionary leader and the first president of independent Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah (here's a pdf). in this 1965 book, he explores how modern colonial powers retain control over nominally independent countries through debt and economic dependence, indirectly but intentionally forcing their governments to accept continued supplication to the first world.

[kiirodora]

need to arrange these thoughts somewhere so:

zionists will try to convince you any palestinian civilian "deserves to die" because they may have harbored ill feelings about israel as a result of running a decades-long campaign to frame opposition to israel as an unacceptable moral flaw rather than a logical political position.

this is obviously part of connecting anti-zionism to anti-semitism and why they have been utilizing every means at their disposal to prevent even seemingly benign criticism of israel

but i can't stress enough how this hasn't convinced non-zionists so much as it has convinced zionists themselves that criticism of israel is an unacceptable moral flaw. they regard any criticism of israel with deep suspicion and believe it has to be rooted in an inherent characteristic somebody has (that characteristic can be "being arab" or "being muslim" or born hatred etc) rather than a rational response rooted in anti-colonial and anti-apartheid principles.

the idea is that if a palestinian hates israel then they are antisemites who hate israelis for merely existing, and more significantly, tolerate violence towards individual israelis (and most extrapolate this to include the worldwide jewish population) on an interpersonal level. but they never pause to consider that supporting israel in any capacity requires co-signing far more violence towards individual palestinians, and is viewed as explicit approval of the violent subjugation and dispossession of palestinians. even supporting a fantasy version of zionism where everyone gets along requires, on some level, accepting the extraordinary injustice done to palestinians as the price paid to get there. and yet far fewer (if any) zionists are ever subject to a moral purity test of being asked if they wholeheartedly love and support palestinians and believe a palestinian state should exist at any cost to israelis. israeli hatred is tolerated and justified, while palestinian opposition (and here it is important to stress it is not hatred because it is not rooted in irrational fear but rational historical grievance) is demonized.

this is also why it is important to extend allyship to palestinians by normalizing criticism of israel. palestinians are quite literally being murdered in part because they are perceived to have an inherent hatred of israel. they are so dehumanized that their rational political stances as being denied because they are seen as incapable or undeserving of rational thought. to illustrate this point, israeli perceptions of european antisemitism dictate the conversation of how palestinians feel more than palestinian history itself. imagining, for example, that a palestinian needs a book about hitler or knowledge of antisemitic tropes to hate israel when israel is literally starving them and killing their children is the height of israeli (and western) arrogance and palestinian erasure. israeli logic contends that no palestinian is allowed to have a legitimate grievance with the state and soldiers carrying out their genocide; and if they do then they deserve to be eliminated so it wasn't a genocide but a righteous act.

so rather than saying "no palestinians don't hate israel!!!! look how many palestinians work in peace projects/advocate for tolerance/condemn violence" it's important to say why on earth are palestinians required to love their colonizers? why is anyone on earth required to lend approval and loyalty to an apartheid state? are palestinians supposed to salute the israeli flag in their refugee camps between checkpoints and bombings? by legitimizing a moral purity test of loving israel, you throw every palestinian who (quite rationally) does not like israel under the bus and validate the idea that loving or hating israel is a moral position about individual values rather than an explicitly political one about states and rights.

The thing that makes me the most angry about Zionists is that they have the audacity to complain about their hurt feelings online from the comfort of their home while Palestinians are starving until their bones are showing and being blown to pieces and tortured by the state they dickride so hard.

IMPORTANT

Shaimaa's (@shaimaahadaid) campaign is stagnating. Shaimaa has to take care of her children and cannot take much time spreading her campaign.

If you're reading this, can you please contact Shaimaa and adopt her campaign?

It would help a lot if you could use your reach to spread her campaign further. One of her children, Ilana, had to go through medical treatment and they all need food to sustain themselves. The current amount of donations is not enough. Shaimaa's campaign has been vetted by GazaVetters. (#610, here)
