"Why is ContraPoints saying [advocating for Palestine] is totally futile? Because ContraPoints doesn't want to do anything about it... She feels that the only reasonable way to live is to accept that things are bad and not going to change. Even though that is actually unreasonable. Even though it is actually also morally quite bankrupt. You are the one who is experiencing doom. That is the thing that you feel. That does not mean other people are supporting a doomed cause. It means that you feel doom about their cause. Examine why you might feel that way. They thought Vietnam was a doomed cause, too. Cuban revolution was a doomed cause. Chinese revolution was a doomed cause... "Zero Palestinian lives were saved"... I don't think this is true. For instance, think about the vast amount of fundraising campaigns that have tangibly helped, even as aid is blockaded in Israel, that has tangibly helped Palestinians. They have gained support as a result of this activism. So saying "zero Palestinian lives were saved" again, this is not true. This is not true. But second of all, even if it was true, you're going to blame people for speaking out against things that are actually wrong because it wasn't effective enough instead of just like offering better ways to do it? Does something have to be done or not? Does something have to be done or not?"

reblog this and tag with a food you no longer have access to (closed restaurant, state you moved away from, ex’s mom’s cooking, etc) that will haunt you until your dying day, mine are the spicy chicken sandwich on the employee menu at the fine dining restaurant I was a prep cook at, and the onion bagel from the kosher place down the street from my house when I lived in the city

The Gaza Freedom Flotilla Handala crew was just kidnapped by Israel on live !!

They went way closer to Gaza than the Madleen. Israeli soldiers jumped on the boat, circled them, and cut all the cameras one by one. I screen recorded the live:

🚨UPDATE ON THE HANDALA🚨

The Israeli occupation has just boarded the vessel

The Handala has been live on YouTube and Instagram to update us on the situation. I have transcribed two parts of the livestream bellow (this was before the occupation boarded the vessel).

First transcript begins with a message from the IDF to the Handala. As this was broadcasted through the radio, I was unable to understand the full message, but here you go, transcription of the IDF transmission plus the response from the activists on board:

“… If you do not change your course, the IDF will be forced to respond and take measures. In accordance to international law (…) You will be held accountable for the consequences of your actions and you may be subject to (…)”

“Israeli navi, this is the civilian vessel Handala. Let me give you a lesson in international law. Any blockade that deliberately starves a civilian population is a violation of international law. It is not only that, it is a warcrime. You have no legal authority to enforce an unlawful blockade and as such, you have no authority to use force — to enforce — an unlawful blockade. Therefore we demand that you stand down. You are responsible for the wellbeing of every civilian on board this vessel. As an occupying power in Gaza, you are responsible for the health and wellbeing of the civilian population there. Not only have you disregarded that obligation, but you are actively exterminating the people. You have engineered a famine. You are deliberately starving civilians and children before the eyes of the world. our vessel does not constitute any threat to you. We carry only humanitarian aid. And therefore you have no authority to intercept or otherwise attack our vessel. We demand again that you stand down.”

Second transcript, a few minutes later: the activists aboard the Handala trying to contact the Israeli occupation with the following message (no response came):

“Israeli navi, again, this is Handala. Again, we are a civilian vessel and we are sailing lawfully in international waters where you have no jurisdiction. We are sailing from international waters to Palestinian territorial waters where you have no lawful jurisdiction. Your claim to enforce a maritime blockade is rejected. You have no authority to enforce a blockade that is deliberately starving civilians. Any blockade that starves civilians or has a disproportianal harmful effect on a civilian population is illegal and therefore you have no authority to enforce an illegal blockade and as such you are not permitted to use any kind of force to enforce an illegal blockade. We demand that you stand down. Do not attack this civilian vessel that is carrying only humanitarian aid. Why are you afraid of baby formula and teddy bears that are destined for the children of Gaza? You spew your propaganda about Hamas but this vessel carries food and baby formula for children that your government is deliberately starving. Your blockade is deliberately starving children to death. You have no authority to enforce an illegal blockade. This is a warcrime. You are responsible for the health, wellbeing and safety of all civilians aboard this vessel and any attack on us is a violation of international law which you will be held accountable by the international community. Again, we are a civilian vessel, constitute no threat to you. Do not attack this vessel, do not board our vessel, do not obstruct our path to Gaza. Handala out.”

I have screenrecorded parts of the livestream to make these transcripts, Tumblr will only let me post one video at a time and it takes a while for videos to come online here. Time the crew of the Handala does not have.

All eyes on deck. All eyes on Palestine.

Talk about the Handala, talk about Freedom Floatila. Contact your government and demand the release of the hostages kidnapped in international waters.

i wanted to show everyone my favorite tiktok

Imagine if there was someone using they/them pronouns and every time someone asks them why they do that, like isn't that a plural, they just look at the asker with the most deadpan expression and say "my parents were really poor when I was growing up. They couldn't afford to get us all our own pronouns so me and my siblings all had to share."

IF THIS MADE YOU SMILE, PLEASE READ

This is a short happy scene from my catastrophic life. We are a family of 10 trying to survive in northern Gaza. The kitten is well fed because cat food is cheaper than human food and we have to take responsibility for him no matter what. But as for us, we are starving. I haven’t had anything other than one cup of tea since yesterday.

The merchants now dare to sell one kilo of flour for $200. This is insane. Our rent has also risen to $1,300 per month. We are living in extreme conditions and we have a small child with us.

Please help us. If you can only donate $5, that helps. If you can only share the post, that helps too. Just please help us because we can’t survive on our own.

When we see a Palestinian close to his goal, let's help him together to get there as soon as possible. We see their dignity being lost on Tumblr, and we see the opposite. We must help them and send them our best wishes.

Enough of the betrayal. Enough of the neglect. Let's return to being like before When the Rafah crossing is opened, these people will be evacuated, including my friend Ibrahim.
