#ALT Israel

[zelena777]

Yesterday I watched the news with my grandma were Toxic!Iran abused Enigma!Israel as the same as Hamas, Lebanon, and Yemen did. Israel has a new alternate form in blue white color she changed. She was bleeding with blue acid then screams out loud because of him after she was attacked by her toxic father Iran. And those three, Greece, Germany, and USA are watching her how she's screaming while having radiohazard tantrum. USA records for his challenge on his phone, and Greece and Germany are shocked or confused of seeing and hearing her massive temper tantrum during the radiohazard attack.

I'm still being sorry for Israel because she's tired of fighting unless she needs to stop and rest for a few hours. But USA still forcing her to do it. TOO INSANE AND TORTURE AF!!

Al Jazeera posted a long-form article about the Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza. It talks about who they were, their hopes and their dreams.

At the bottom, there is a Romanized searchable version of the list of names of people killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza.

The first 7 pages are children below the age of 1.

He didn't even get the chance to be named.

This is a genocide.

Brazil's Lula welcomes citizens rescued from Gaza, condemns 'inhumane violence'

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Monday welcomed 32 nationals that his government managed to rescue from the Gaza Strip this week following a month of negotiations, receiving them at the Brasilia Air Base after a nearly day-long flight.

The Brazilians crossed the Rafah border between Gaza and Egypt on Sunday and were taken to Cairo, where this morning they boarded an Embraer presidential airplane loaned by Lula and traveled to Brazil via Las Palmas, Spain.

Lula greeted passengers with hugs and kisses after their arrival late on Monday evening, offering his support to Brazilians still in or arriving from the Gaza Strip and condemning the killing of civilians in Gaza.

"I have never seen such brutal, inhumane violence against innocent people," Lula said in a short speech on the tarmac.

i’m so sick of people saying shit like “oh but gaza is homophobic” or “well if you went there they’d kill you” to justify a literal genocide

the west, usa and uk especially loves to weaponise queer rights in order to portray middle eastern and/or islamic countries as "savage"

israel does the same, they've literally been trying to brand themselves as desirable to the west by doing events such as pride festivals and whatnot, but it's all bullshit and part of their propaganda to appeal to the west so people ignore what they're doing (research “brand israel” it’s fucking insane)

example: this bloody tweet

slaughtering people supposedly in the name of queer rights is fucking disgusting and even then it is not at all what israel is doing. they're committing an ethnic cleansing and no funnily enough it's not because they love the gays

not to mention the absolute hypocrisy in the fact the usa and uk are absolute shit when it comes to queer rights and just keep getting fucking worse, it's all just a blatant excuse to justify israel's genocide of palestinians

no one can possibly try to say "oh but they're homophobic" while they're burying queer palestinians under rubble. even if that was true does that seriously fucking justify way over 25,000 murders, over 10,000 being children

fun fact! dead people can't have rights.

Crochet Pattern for Palestine and Israel Relief

At long last, it's done!

This crochet pattern is for small cats, of a good size to make into keychains, magnets, or even hair clips! There are six PDF versions available:

- US stitch names in 12 point Atkinson Hyperlegible - US stitch names in 22 point Atkinson Hyperlegible - US stitch names in 22 point Comic Sans

- UK stitch names in 12 point Atkinson Hyperlegible - UK stitch names in 22 point Atkinson Hyperlegible - UK stitch names in 22 point Comic Sans

Between those six options, that should cover most pattern accessibility needs. If you need something else, though, let me know! I'm prepared to offer a .doc or similar file on an individual basis if you need a screenreader to access crochet patterns, and have a sheet I can use to translate things to German stitch terms (though more in-depth instructions would still be in English). The pattern is worked primarily in (US) single crochet/(UK) double crochet, with the ears in (US) double crochet/(UK) treble crochet popcorn stitches, and is bundled with similar file options of a popcorn stitch tutorial PDF (no stitch names used).

"Socchan," you say, "These cats are super cute! And you said that this pattern is for charity? How does that work exactly?"

I'm glad you asked! Simply donate a minimum of $3 or close-enough local equivalent to a related charity, then take a screencap of your receipt/proof of donation. Block out any information that could doxx you; it's nice if you trust me, but it's not impossible that my email could get hacked, and I want you to be safe! Finally, email the altered screencap to socchan (at) protonmail (dot) com.

Once I get and check the screencap, I will email you back with a link to a MediaFire folder and the password you'll need to open the PDFs. Yes, it is a bit of a pain to need a password to open these files, but this was the simplest way I could figure out how to do things without needing to upload and send a minimum of six files to every person. Download as many of the variations as you want, keep a copy of the password somewhere safe (and don't delete the email with it), and go to town!

As a bonus, if you take your donation up to at least $5 (or close-enough local equivalent), I'll throw in an additional link and password for a very cute little flower pattern!

"That sounds pretty easy," you go on to say, "but where should I donate? There are so many options to choose from!"

No problem! Here's a couple of short lists of options that can help you narrow things down:

Palestine: Palestine Children's Relief Fund - Focuses on medical aid to children in Palestine Medical Aid for Palestine - "[H]elp MAP respond to the ongoing emergency in Gaza, as well as provide medical supplies, support healthcare services and deliver long term development to healthcare in the occupied Palestinian territory and Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon." MAP reportedly has a team on the ground in Gaza, providing critical medical aid. Anera - Providing food, hygiene kits, and medical care in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. Palestine Red Crescent - More medical support in Palestine; the rest of the webpage is in Arabic, so be prepared if you want to click around at all. Basically the Palestinian Red Cross. Gaza Cemetery Project - "Al-Hamdulillah, a ​​5,500 square meters’ piece of land has been secured to create a public cemetery for the city and neighbouring areas." This area still needs a fence to protect the burial plots before it can be used.

Israel: Zaka - A group of first responders and people who identify bodies and prepare them for burial (sadly, sorely needed right now); they are in need of safety equipment, medical supplies, first aid kits, and more. Red Magen David - The Israeli/Jewish equivalent of the Red Cross; first responder medical support and similar. (This one has some pretty immediate upsetting text, so take care!) Hatzalah - Similar to Red Magen David, another first responder and emergency medical group. The Koby Mandell Foundation - Focuses on bereavement aid in Israel for people who have lost loved ones in traumatic circumstances; they've got support hotlines and can arrange for support visits, among other things. The Refuser Solidarity Network - Providing support for Israeli citizens who refuse government mandatory military service.

I think that's everything, aside from: Please Signal Boost! If I end up having to send out two hundred emails in the next couple of days, that still won't be too many.

EDIT:

i have been informed that the red triangle has also been used in other ways, such as highlighting destruction in gaza or marking hamas/palestinian resistance groups' targets. thus, heritageposts may not have been invoking the holocaust as i assumed. PLEASE REBLOG THIS VERSION OF THE POST IF YOU REBLOG.

PSA: heritageposts is antisemitic.

while most of their political posts are no-commentary reposts of coverage of the palestinian genocide, they do occasionally add comments in the post body or tags.

here is a post where they wish the holocaust on an israeli man.

in case you are unaware, the upside-down triangle was used in nazi concentration camps to mark prisoners. the red triangle was used to mark political prisoners specifically, but i am not putting weight in the color since this is the only upside down triangle emoji available. the upside down triangle would be modified into a star of david using a yellow triangle for jewish prisoners, but the upside down triangle in general is more recognizable, especially as a nazi-specific thing. i cannot think of any other reason they would use the upside down triangle in this context except to wish the holocaust or similar on this man. wishing for a repeat of the holocaust is pretty common among antisemites and does not come without baggage.

please get your palestine news someplace else. israel is the aggressor, but that does not give anyone an excuse to air their antisemitism.

it might be tempting for non-jewish leftists to ignore this, but remember that if you let someone filter the news for you, you are liable to accept their biases as fact.

please be conscious of their antisemitism going forward.

the american israel public affairs committee is one of the largest lobbying groups in the united states

As M.J. Rosenberg, a former employee of AIPAC, wrote for The Nation in 2019, at the end of the day, the goal of AIPAC is "to ensure that Congress never questions Israel about anything, that it just shuts up and keeps the billions of dollars in aid coming. And above all, without conditions, like requiring Israel to take steps to end the occupation, the blockade of Gaza, or to grant equal rights to Palestinians inside Israel and in the occupied territories."

We will not be silenced. We will not stop until Palestine is free. Biden and Israel, what do you say? How many kids have you killed today?

[allthebrazilianpolitics]

A Brazilian journalist claims that, albeit they don't officially state it, the country's Foreign Affairs Ministry (aka Itamaraty) has the impression that Israel is stopping Brazilians from leaving Gaza as retaliation for the Brazilian government asking for a ceasefire and calling out the current ethnic cleansing campaign.
