A brutal education

The past month I have seen and heard things from Gaza and the West Bank that I cannot even begin to detail and will definitely never unsee. This is not even remotely an exhaustive list, and will change over time as I add to it or change things as I learn more.

I give you fair warning that this is, at the very least, jarring. So if you're not of a mind for it, skip past it and move on.

A man kneels on the rubble of his house quaking in tears digging for the bodies of his children.

Ice cream trucks used to store the bodies of dead children because there's nowhere else to put them.

Dead NICU babies left in place after the power was shut off and the doctors had to move.

A screaming boy talking about carrying headless bodies.

A woman dragging her two remaining children in car seats as she's being forced to move south.

People being told to evacuate a hospital then getting shot at as they try to leave.

Broken bodies of children and infants.

An infant found by the side of the road with no living relatives.

White phosphorous burns.

A boy licking his dry lips because there's no water.

A woman clinging to her son's grave stone as the land there is bulldozed to make a park.

Front doors of Palestinian homes and businesses bolted shut because Palestinians are no longer allowed to walk down the streets where those buildings are.

Dead Palestinian bodies being dragged by tanks.

Palestinian people being called vermin, rats, animals.

Palestinian children being told they brought this on themselves.

IOF soldiers playing put a finger down games about their actions and the situation.

A woman getting arrested in the West Bank because she liked a pro-Palestine post on social media.

A deaf girl saying the only way she knows the bombs are coming is when the ground shakes or she sees people running.

Gaza being talked about as a place to build a beautiful new city as if there's no people in it already.

A supposedly Jewish leader quoting the Christian Bible to excuse Israeli presence and actions as ordained.

A besieged people kept in planned starvation, with their food, water, medical care, and electricity limited, dependant on 400 to 500 trucks of humanitarian aid per day.

A woman saying "Yes, I'm a little bit fascist" like she's talking about a coffee order as she talks to a reporter about how Gaza should be razed.

Gazans cannot build wells or cisterns to collect water.

IOF soldiers ripping off a woman's hijab and smashing her face into a wall.

The current Gazans did not elect Hamas. Roughly two thirds of the current population was neither alive nor old enough to vote in 2006.

These are things I have not witnessed myself, but have heard reports about, or haven't yet investigated:

Plan Dalet.

The war on water.

The Ben Gurion Canal.

A boy having a seizure having his head stomped.

Entire family bloodlines wiped out.

Gaza being used as a testing ground for weapons.

Hellfire missiles dropped on human targets.

A little girl was shot while looking out the window of her home.

Cameras trained directly into the homes of Palestinians.

A man carrying parts of his dead childrens' bodies in bags.

Black Jewish women coming to Israel and being sterilised without their knowledge.

The skin bank used for grafts in Israel is mostly Palestinian skin. This is deeply problematic for Muslims in regards to burial.

Reports of dogs eating the bodies of the dead that can't be collected.

A horse farm being bulldozed and the animals killed.

Children imprisoned for throwing rocks and subjected to a military court.

Refugees forced to walk from the north to south of Gaza by foot, no vehicles allowed at all. They were not allowed to stop or turn around or they'd be shot. Forced families to walk separated from each other.

A Palestinian man's body indiscriminately bulldozed by the IOF. Conflicting reports on if he was alive or dead.

An elderly woman described as kind and good by her Muslim neighbours, she was Christian, was shot in the neck by a sniper and left in the street for two days to bleed to death alone.

IDF dug up a mass grave on the grounds of Al Shifa hospital, taking away some of the bodies, and denied burial to new dead.

The remaining medical staff and patients in Al Shifa hospital are being forced to evacuate and walk south. Some of these patients have missing limbs, are being pushed on hospital beds, and the group is being followed by tanks. Only five doctors were allowed to remain behind for the patients that absolutely could not be moved.

@batoushoujo​ asked: ” forget about it. ”

-Dalet wasn’t entirely sure what they’d been talking about, but he did know whatever it was, Damian was stressed. A shift was probably felt, from overwhelming emotion to none at all, as control was relinquished to the golem. 

“Wish granted, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” 

If it wasn’t the monotonous tone that gave it away, the mechanical overlay of his voice would have. It had been a while since he talked to Tem, hadn’t it?

3D modeled the letters of the Hebrew alef bet as practice for my next beginning Hebrew class with @progressivejudaism​. There are reasons I picked all of the textures but many of them are... very silly. (Also included a better-lit render so the textures are more visible, but I like my dark and moody lighting, damnit.)

Made in Blender over the past few days.

List of reasons for why I picked the textures under the cut.

ETA: I screwed up the order when I was rearranging them to fit into frame better D: I might fix that later but given it’s already been reblogged and my rabbi’s already seen it it’s also kind of too late. OH WELL.

Alef - mirror - reflects up the sound of the vowel instead of a sound of its own Bet - brick - starts with b, bet has a base, it’s solid Vet - velvet - velvet has ‘vet’ in it Gimel - grass - starts with g and I had no ideas and a pixar grass texture Dalet - dirt - starts with d and I had a really good dirt texture from another project Hay - hay - too obvious not to do honestly Vav - metal pipe - vav always makes me think ‘valve’ and it’s sort of shaped like a pipe with one of the 90 degree angle bits on the end Zayin - zebra - there are not that many things that start with z and are visually distinctive Het - challah - challah חַלָּה starts with het Tet - tile - it sort of looks like a sink or something and tile starts with t Samech - citrus - sukkot סֻכּוֹת starts with samech and I couldn’t find a closeup of an etrog with a creative commons license, so I found a pile of citrus (looks like mostly limes) instead Yod - denim - this is the stupidest one. in one of the apps I’ve drilled the alef bet in, it uses js for the y sound, so yod is jod, and it always makes me think of that post about the pronunciation of gif that goes “okay, jod” and also about making things start with j if they’re made of denim, and I already had a denim texture because I made denim dice to harass a friend, and I had no other ideas, so, Kaf - coffee - kaf kinda sounds like cafe, and coffee starts with the right sound Chaf - chaff - too obvious not to use, also when I idly searched if there was even stock of chaff, it was labeled as chaff from coffee beans, so I couldn’t not Kaf Sofit - coffee - brewed this time, because it’s the final form Chaf Sofit - chaff - I had no ideas for how chaff could be a final form Lamed - wool - I tried to find a closeup of a llama and couldn’t and this was the best I could do. it was tagged with ‘dog’ but I think it’s like, fake. Mem - water - mayim מַ֫יִם starts with mem Mem Sofit - ice - ice is kind of like the final form of water right Nun and Nun Sofit - void - I had absolutely 0 ideas and nun always makes me think none and a void is nothing and that’s all I got here Ayin - glass - ayin is usually silent, so it’s an invisible letter you can see through Pay - poppies - couldn’t think of anything and was just desperately trying to make it not elephant because the dot makes it look extra elephant and that’s confusing because: Fay and Fay Sofit - elephant skin - it looks like an elephant head with the ear and the trunk like tell me you don’t see that, and elePHant has the right sound and even helps me remember that it’s a ph kind of f because it’s the same letter as pay Tsadi - matzah - matzah מַצָּה has a tsadi in Tsadi Sofit - matzo ball soup - the final form of matzah I guess, also this picture is courtesy of the government of israel which I find hilarious, official governmental photos of soup Kof - wine corks - kiddush קידוש starts with kof, flat wine color seemed boring and also unclear and also I couldn’t find a good one, cork has k sounds also Resh - rainbow - I had no ideas and a ‘cartoon hebrew learning’ site I ended up on looking for words that started with given letters suggested visualizing resh as a rainbow Shin - firelight - shin always makes me think shine, so I wanted to make this flame, it’s set up with emission as well as texture so it’s glowing Sin - confetti - like the ONLY word I could find that started with sin was simchat torah which is a celebration. that’s all I got. shin/sin is the most confusing letter in hebrew, rest in pieces. Tav and Tav - rusty porcelain - this is the other stupid one. I remember tav/taf because it looks like a man’s head looking to the left, so I decided it was president taft because that works as a mnemonic, and he like famously had a special bathtub built for him or something? so... rusty tub. that’s all I got. look at this letter and think about president taft taking a bath. I don’t even remember his first name. what did president taft do. when was he in office. mysteries. mysteries that I do not care enough to look up on wikipedia. why does this letter have a dot sometimes.

Lyrics: A duke rode out at christmas night Tjing tjang tjing lutillej The snow around him fell so white Tjing tjang tjing lutillej He fought his way through wind and rain His horse dropped dead - it was insane Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang tjing lutillej In the high tower a maid awaited her fate Tjing tjang tjing lutillej For him to come by and fornicate Tjing tjang tjing lutillej But the night was sad and long Loneliness without some slong Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang tjing lutillej The next day at morning red Tjing tjang tjing lutillej They found the poor duke dead Tjing tjang tjing lutillej Covered in snow and ice Now defrosting in paradice Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang tjing lutillej Was this bad? You bet! Tjing tjang tjing lutillej When defrosting he got wet Tjing tjang tjing lutillej But this is how it goes my fine lad When you go out without a hat Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang tjing lutillej When the maid got the text Tjing tjang tjing lutillej She jumped from the tower next Tjing tjang tjing lutillej Now they share a cloud so fine It rains at folks and swines Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang tjing lutillej Danish Lyrics: En junker red ved juletid Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Omkring ham dalet sneen hvid Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Han stred sig frem i regn og blæst Med et der segnede hans hest Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Den jomfru sad i høje torn Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Og vendte ham som til forn Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Man matten gik så trist og land En ensomhed til solopgang Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Den næste dag ved morgen rød Tjing tjang tjing nutillej De fandt den stakkels junker død Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Han dækkede var af sne og is Men tør nu op i paradis Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Det var jo noget være noget Tjing tjang tjing nutillej For da tøet bliv han våd Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Man sådan kan det altså gå Mår man gå uden hugge på Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Da jomfruen fik den besked Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Hun kastet sig fra tognet ned Tjing tjang tjing nutillej Nu deler de en lille sky Som regner over land og by Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang lu Tjing tjang tjing nutillej
