#/// genocide

[sayruq]

Make no mistake, the Palestinian resistance caused this. Just hours ago, they announced a successful operation against the IDF

Its operations like these that has made it difficult for the IDF to conduct a genocide in Gaza

Of course the biggest credit goes to the people of Northern Gaza who steadfastly refused for 16 months to let their land get colonised

WTF WTF WTF

Everyone should read this.

Reading the entire article made me sick to my stomach.

These Israelis are incredibly deranged and evil. They’re real life monsters. Demons.

Palestinians have been enduring them for 76 whole years.

Major progress towards a ceasefire in Gaza

Some notes on the name Palestine

TL;DR: Palestine is a colonialist name from a group trying to deny an indigenous group's indigenousness as part of a genocidal campaign. It may have acquired other meanings, but the etymology is still linked tightly to that, and it still carries that past with it. Anyone who considers themselves pro-indigenous should not use the term.

Let's rewind. The word Palestine is related to "Philistine"; indeed, it comes from them. So who were they?

In short, a bunch of Greeks who created a syncretic culture in what is now, roughly, Gaza. They mixed with the native people, called Canaanites. (We don't know what they called themselves - Philistine itself derives from a Biblical term.)

They vanished pretty fast, and then, a while later, the Romans came.

The indigenous population rebelled too much, so they embarked on a campaign of genocide. They killed people, of course. But they also raped enough women that Judaism is matrilineal. They sold people as slaves, barred them from their holy city and capital, Jerusalem (which they renamed). They destroyed the Jewish holy temple, the Second Temple (there is now a mosque on top of it).

And then they tried to deny that the indigenous population was, in fact, indigenous. They renamed the region Syria Palestina. Why? Because Philistines weren't around anymore. They could pretend there weren't any indigenous people to displace.

Over time, that word, Palestina, moved. It moved to Arabic, where it became Filastin. It moved to English, where it became Palestine.

But the indigenous name for the region (except, arguably, for Gaza, give or take) has never been Palestine.

We don't know what the Neanderthals, the first group there, called it.

But we know what many of the indigenous people call it. Eretz Yisrael. Or, in English, the Land of Israel.

("But wait!" you say. "You just said that in Arabic it was Filastin. Palestinians are native and speak Arabic!"

But they didn't speak Arabic back then. Arabic came with the Arab conquerers (who Palestinians aren't super related to, FYI). Arabs spread vastly during the Islamic conquests, but before that, they were primarily a desert people, whose homeland corresponded to roughly Saudi Arabia, although it extended to places like Syria and Oman. There are majority-Arab countries and places today that range from Morocco to Mauritania, Sudan to Iraq, Egypt to (parts of) Iran. Arabs are not indigenous to any of those places, and neither is Arabic.)

You may not support the Roman genocide. I hope you don't. But you are still using a term European colonialists used to erase indigenous identity as they genocided them, and it still carries that baggage.

(If you refuse to call the region Israel, Canaan is also a fine term - although it may get you some weird looks.)

Gaza's Health Ministry has documented 4,500 amputations, including upper and lower limbs, since the beginning of Israel's genocide in the besieged enclave.

About 800 of the amputees are children, comprising 18 percent of the cases, while 540 women account for 12 percent of the amputations.

Zaher al Wahidi, the head of the Health Information Unit at the ministry, emphasised that the figures highlight the enormity of the humanitarian catastrophe facing the civilian population, particularly the most vulnerable groups children and women.

He added that the number of amputations is likely to continue rising as the genocidal war persists, exacerbating the already dire strain on the health care system, which is grappling with critical shortages of medical supplies due to Israel's ongoing blockade.

The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) wrote to 460 town halls and educational centers asking them to boycott the UK's Holocaust Memorial Day.

The IHRC, which British media has linked to Iran, said it was "morally unacceptable" that Gaza was not considered a "genocide" alongside the Holocaust.

The Holocaust Memorial Day this year - on January 27 - will commemorate 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. 

IHRC also wrote a letter to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust itself, imploring the body to include Gaza on the list of genocides.

DONATION MATCH! 🇵🇸

Please match my donation of ANYTHING to one or more of these vetted campaigns. PLEASE CAN WE START A DONATION MATCH CHAIN 🙏 I have little consistent income and can only at the moment afford to donate 10USD/5GBP to each campaign at a time, so we need everyone’s help to raise funds for these people who are suffering more than you and I can ever imagine. Although we have shared DMs, although I have read all of their lived experiences and felt pain in my heart, I can only ever try to understand their horrific situations. Anything you can spare, please contribute.

All the verification is on their respective accounts. Please help these people find some semblance of relief in the midst of this genocide.

Please remember that while you may think that £/$/€5 is so very little on its own from one person, if everyone were to contribute just that it would stack up exponentially. If twenty people give five, you can reach a hundred. Please do not let that deter you and do whatever you possibly can 🫶

If you can give $15 please please do. Nour and her family right now are in desperate need of funds to SURVIVE

Please share and reblog this fundraiser/post

Hello everyone, my name is Andrea and I am the organizer for @noor509's GoFundMe campaign

Shortly before we reached our goal, we had our transfers paused due to GoFundMe wanting to verify information and wanting to know if the money had been sent.

I had sent a majority of the money directly to Nour's bank account, but due to an issue we recently had to switch to Western Union. I provided documents and answered all of the team member's questions, but in the end GoFundMe had decided to close Nour's campaign anyways.

The last transfer that was sent to us was on November 3rd and we had transfers paused on the 4th. If you have not received a refund from GoFundMe already, please reach out to them to demand for a refund.

And if you still want to help Nour you can send money to this PayPal link: paypal.me/NoureddineAboalresh

The money that is sent there will be accepted to my bank account which will then be sent to Nour's friend via Western Union who will then forward the funds to Nour for him to receive.

Nour's campaign has been verified here: x and you can read more here: x
