Y'all people do not understand how fucking harmful ableism towards systems is. You really do not get it. It fucked me up so bad. My ex partner said straight to my face "Your DID makes me kinda uncomfortable."

I was so open about my system. I was healing. Our amnesia was getting better, we could communicate, trauma wasn't as scary when we were all working together. All of that is gone now and it's because of how my ex partner treated my system.

I can't be open about it anymore. I feel like I have to hide it. I feel disgusting. I feel like no one will love me. I'm scared to switch because I feel like my partner might leave me if I do. My ex made me SCARED to have an already scary disorder.

Ableism is a beast that can destroy people with a single sentence.

NPD is so fucking stupid because what do you mean I get outraged when someone WHO I LITERALLY LOVE AND WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL gets attention and praise ON SOMETHING I LITERALLY WANTED THEM TO DO WELL ON

I need everyone to understand that even as Palestinians, with everything that we grew up witnessing and learning about, some of what we've been seeing unfold in Gaza is still too horrific for us to bear or wrap our heads around

The bodies of the martyrs were buried in a mass grave in Khan Yunis after they were detained by the Israeli occupation in Al-Shifa Medical Complex and Beit Hanoun Hospital a few days ago They numbered 111 martyrs.

i was really hoping the story about the decomposing babies would be revealed to be slightly less horrible than it is but human rights watch just confirmed it which is making me sick

the doctors left five children behind at al-rantisi (also known as al-nasr) hospital because it was being targeted by the IDF. the hrw report says it was targeted by airstrikes—testimony from a nurse who left there says they were forced to leave the babies under shelling and also rounds of live ammunition by the army to evacuate the hospital. there was also testimony that at least one parent of one of the children left behind was shot and left at the entrance of the hospital

this was a testimony from one of a doctors without borders nurse after they were forced to evacuate.

i distinctly remember another written testimony by a doctor stating that they had left the five children behind at the ICU, and that they had informed the israeli army and asked for them to be evacuated but were specifically asking the red cross to intervene. there is also video testimony of a doctor asking the red cross to intervene before the hospital was evacuated.

one doctor explicitly stated that they had rehooked a child to one of the remaining battery-powered machines before leaving.

this was november 10th.

on november 28th, during the ceasefire, families were finally able to go back to north gaza and get into the hospital, only to discover that the five children left behind had been left to die and were found decomposed in their beds.

from AFP:

Gaza health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP that Israeli soldiers had blocked access to the intensive care unit at Al-Nasr paediatric facility, and doctors were finally "able to get into the ward on Tuesday night". There, Qudra said, "the occupation (Israeli) forces left five premature babies" who were found "partly decomposed". "The soldiers forbade the families from going near" the newborns before Tuesday, he said.

there's been an outpouring of anger at the red cross, which was the only international entity capable of intervening. instead, the red cross claimed it was not responsible for evacuating the hospital. they have not provided any assistance to thousands of palestinians in north gaza who were asking for help. the red cross released this statement:

However, their statement in Arabic was far worse, translated here:

"Our teams did not make any commitment to participate in these processes" essentially means the red cross (the only entity capable of evacuating a hospital the israeli military had beseiged) had simply abdicated its duties.

for comparison, because of the public outrage at al-shifa where 39 NICU babies were also beseiged by the israeli military, the red cross was involved in transporting the remaining babies to egypt after eight had already died. the red cross is capable of it, they just didn't care.

worth noting that since then israel has left al-shifa after filming some humiliating propaganda videos proving there was no "hamas headquarters" at the hospital and left al-nasr after finding nothing as well. this is not because the idf failed to find hamas, it's because the idf had succeeeded in its primary goal to make gaza unlivable and prevent palestinians from being able to access healthcare. finding hamas was never a real goal, and anyone who repeats this lie is either an idiot or a propagandist.

destroying a hospital and evacuating patients and medical staff is already a war crime. but leaving five children to slowly die alone of suffocation in a hospital bed and then leaving their dead bodies to decompose for over two weeks is unforgivable. this is what occupation does, what israel does. a war crime committed first by soldiers carrying arms, and then completed by international aid organizations that abandon palestinians in their time of need. it is not possible without international complicity allowing israel to continue committing unspeakable horrors against palestinians with impunity.

and today, december 1st, the ceasefire ended and bombing gaza has resumed.

the fact that palestinians in the west bank (INCLUDING children) continue to be detained at a rate equal to (and surpassing if you include hostages taken in gaza such as mos'ab abu toha) those who are freed while all released detainees have spoken of deteriorating conditions in israeli prisons since oct 7th, with multiple prisoners being beaten to death, the rest crammed into cells, fed smaller rations, exposed to the elements and other abuses

and yet the entire world will focus on the israeli hostages because every opponent of armed resistance has not yet figured out the answer to "the eyes of the world turn to us only when we commit violence, not when violence is committed against us"

[sallysavestheworld]

average lib rly thinks if hamas pinky-promised to stop then palestine would be free but refuses to confront that palestinian dispossession and death has never stopped for a single minute since 1948 and that israeli soldiers and policies do not discriminate between Good palestinians and Peace loving palestinians and Mean palestinians and Babies and Militants

confront israel before talking about palestinian behavior. human rights were never contingent on how the oppressed behaves, but palestinians have already tried everything these small and stupid brains are suggesting

Not to mention major world powers parrot their misinformation in their positions of authority. Biden was intentionally sharing misinformation on an international scale to manufacture consent for the genocide in gaza.

Theres something poetic about Kissinger biting the dust during the biggest public pushback against Israel in decades. If you’ve ever looked at the complete mayhem in Middle Eastern politics and wondered ‘hey what’s up with that how did we even get here’, you can probably thank Kissinger. Or the way some Arab countries tend towards either US proxy state or borderline feudalism. Henry Kissinger sabotaged diplomatic relationships in the Middle East for decades to better broker power for the US, by his own admission. He broke the legs of newborn countries for years to better harvest oil from their corpses, and we live in the shadow of his ghoulish foreign policy. Have fun in hell, you bastard.
