#A Humanitarian Appeal from the Heart of Suffering

I am writing to you today from my simple tent that has become my only shelter. I never imagined that I would find myself in this situation - without a home, without basic necessities of life, and without a clear horizon for the future.

Life in the tent is very harsh No electricity to light up our darkness, no regular clean water

No means of heating to protect us from the cold of winter, no kitchen to prepare a hot meal, no private bathroom to preserve our dignity, no comfortable bed to sleep in

I appeal to your humanity and your merciful hearts. Every donation, no matter how small, will help me and will make a difference

For those who can help, the link is below. If you can not donate, your prayers and sharing my story may reach those who can help.

My prayers for you are that you will not know what it means to lose your home and find yourself homeless.

🗞️ … The Justice Times — COLONISER!

By: LaillaB, founder of ‘Reclaim the Narrative’, from LinkedIn …

“The international community regards all settlements as illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. Surprise suprise! … #coloniser

For over half a century, the settler colony has operated with flagrant obscene flagrant disregard for international law, behaving like a rogue settlement outpost in the Middle East.

The continued occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip has led to a consistent pattern of human rights violations against the Palestinian residents of these regions.f

Since the occupation first began in June 1967, Israel’s ruthless policies of land confiscation, illegal settlement and dispossession, coupled with rampant discrimination, have inflicted immense suffering on Palestinians, depriving them of their basic rights.

Israel’s military rule disrupts every aspect of daily life in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

It continues to affect whether, when and how Palestinians can travel to work or school, go abroad, visit their relatives, earn a living, attend a protest, access their farmland, or even access electricity or a clean water supply.

It means daily humiliation, fear and oppression. People’s entire lives are effectively held hostage by Israel.

Israel has also adopted a complex web of military laws to crush dissent against its policies, and senior government officials have branded Israelis advocating for Palestinian rights as “traitors”.

Israel has been forcing thousands of Palestinians off their land, occupying and illegally using it to create settlements that exclusively house Israeli settlers.

Entire Palestinian communities have been displaced by these settlements.

Their homes and livelihoods have been destroyed, they’ve had restrictions enforced on their movement, access to their own water, land and other natural resources.

The communities have also been violently attacked by the Israeli military and settlers.

In recent months, Israel has accelerated settlement expansion. The government has announced plans for thousands of new illegal settler homes in existing settlements, as well as the establishment of nine new settlements in the occupied West Bank.

This “settlement enterprise” relies on unlawfully appropriated Palestinian resources, including land, water and minerals, to produce goods that are exported and sold for private profit.

Hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of settlement goods are exported internationally each year.

The issue is not just about Israel taking Palestinian land and resources illegally.

Governments around the world are letting goods produced in these settlements into their markets, and are allowing companies in their countries to operate in settlements.

All of this helps the illegal settlements profit and thrive!” … 🤑

WAYS WE CAN HELP PALESTINE:

as of 9am today, 8131 palestinians were killed, 20438 are injured and 1.4 million have been displaced. it’s important for all of us to help palestine in as many ways as we can.

i also cannot stress how much just spreading awareness in general can help. staying silent because of your discomfort is not an excuse to sit by while a genocide takes place. when we learn about these events in history we often think “how was this allowed to happen?” but that’s exactly what’s happening now and it’s our responsibility to not sit by and let an entire country be wiped out. i will continue adding more ways to help to this post and i’d really appreciate it if anyone can spread this as much as possible.

it’s important to get educated on everything going on in palestine right now, here are some sources that could help!

decolonize palestine - made by two palestinians, answers a lot of questions regarding everything right now (including debunking a lot of myths from biased news stations) and provides a lot of historical context.

Hi Stays, this is a post to warn everyone to be wary of a SKZ author here on Stayblr with the username @/gimmeurtmi

I followed them not too long ago, but they suddenly blocked me. I was confused why because I have my age in my account and followed all of their rules. However, I have some reasons to suspect that this user is a Zionist. As you can see I am very Pro-Palestine, it’s in my blog title and bio, and I think this is why they blocked me.

They made a post showing anger about Stays educating Felix on his live about Coca-Cola (For people who don’t know, Coca-Cola is on the BDS boycott list, they support Israel and built an R&D center in occupied Palestinian territory of Atarot) In their post they said it’s “pathetic” for Stays to inform Felix about this and that he wasn’t doing anything wrong. Felix made the effort to read about the issue on his live and chose to apologize to Stay for it, but this user thinks that boycotting a brand tied to a genocidal state is the same as bullying.

((Screenshots are not mine))

They also showed strong support for the new SKZ collab with Charlie Puth. Many Stays are boycotting this collab because Charlie Puth is a raging Zionist, and the track also has an Israeli producer, Johnny Goldstein who is also a proud Zionist. gimmeurtmi even made a whole tag for this collab on their blog to show how much they’re excited for it, even though two Zionists worked on it and will be receiving royalties for it. You can also see the tags in the third post showing them speaking of Tommy Hilfiger, yet another Zionist, in a friendly manner.

Furthermore, I talked to other Stays in the community about this because I don’t want to jump to conclusions and gimmeurtmi blocked other users who are showing support for Palestine, not just me. From reading their posts on their other blog (@/stuckonspidey) you can also see how far their beliefs about this go. That’s not to say them being Jewish means they must be a Zionist, because that’s a completely false idea. There are plenty of Jewish people who are not Zionist and support Palestinian liberation because we recognize that what Palestinians are suffering through is a history repeat of what our people went through. But this added with all the other questionable evidence makes me suspicious that this user is a Zionist, or at least an Israeli sympathizer who treats support for Palestine as an inconvenience.

From these posts on their main blog, you can see them refuse to condemn Israel or even say anything about their crimes when they got asked about it. Instead, they just talk about how this genocide has personally affected them. There are no posts (that I could find) of them showing any sympathy or support for Palestine, all their posts about the subject are just self-victimizing posts about how they feel. Yes, it’s a scary time to be a Jewish person as well, I know this as a person of Jewish ancestry, too. But fighting anti-semitism AND fighting for Palestine can and SHOULD co-exist. It’s a huge red flag that the only thing they have to say about the genocide is how Jewish people are the victims in this. They also made another post where they claim that “Zionist” is just a word people use to be anti-semitic. This is a tale as old as time that Zionists have used to excuse, deny, and even justify Israel’s war crimes. I was once told that a genocide of Palestinians doesn’t exist and is just an “anti-semitic blood libel”. This is the exact same rhetoric that Zionists in my community and Zionist news outlets use (which, I add, almost ALL news outlets are strongly biased to Israel because of America’s ties to it. Israel is heavily backed in support from some of the richest and most powerful countries in the world, it is not the victim and never was).

I am not making this for drama. I made this post just to tell fellow Stays to be cautious of which writers you’re reading from and supporting. If you are against the genocide that has been happening to Palestinians for 75 years now, I suggest not supporting this person’s work, because at best they don’t care about what’s happening in Palestine, and at worst, they actually endorse it. There should be no place in our Stay community for this hateful ideology.

The campus group National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) is waging a campaign to gut Jewish life in academia, calling for the abolition of Hillel International campus chapters, the largest collegiate organization for Jewish students in the world.

“Over the past several decades, Hillel has monopolized for Jewish campus life into a pipeline for pro-Israel indoctrination, genocide-apologia, and material support to the Zionist project and its crimes,” a social media account operating the campaign, titled #DropHillel, said in a manifesto published last week. “Across the country, Hillel chapters have invited Israeli soldiers to their campuses; promoted propaganda trips such as birthright; and organized charity drives for the Israeli military.”

It continued, “Such actions reveal Hillel’s ideological and material investment in Zionism, despite the organization’s facade as being simply a ‘Jewish cultural space.'”

DropHillel claims to be “Jewish-led,” although only a small minority of Jews oppose Zionism, and the group has been linked to and promoted by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters.

Hillel International has provided Jewish students a home away from home during the academic year. However, NSJP says it wants to “weaken” it and “dismantle oppression.”

The idea has already been picked up by pro-Hamas student groups at one college, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, according to The Daily Tar Heel, the school’s official student newspaper. On Oct. 9, it reported, a member of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) unveiled the idea for “no more Hillel” during a rally which, among other things, demanded removing Israel from UNC’s study abroad program and adopting the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement. Addressing the comments to the paper days later, SJP, which has been linked to Islamist terrorist organizations, proclaimed that shuttering Hillel is a coveted goal of the anti-Zionist movement.

“Zionism is a racist supremacist ideology advocating for the creation and sustenance of an ethnostate through the expulsion and annihilation of native people,” the group told the paper. “Therefore, any group that advocates for a supremacist ideology — be it the KKK, the Proud Boys, Hillel, or Heels for Israel — should not be welcome on campus.”

The #DropHillel campaign came amid an unprecedented surge in anti-Israel incidents on college campuses, which, according to a report published last month by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), have reached crisis levels.

Revealing a “staggering” 477 percent increase in anti-Zionist activity involving assault, vandalism, and other phenomena, the report — titled “Anti-Israel Activism on US Campuses, 2023-2024” — painted a bleak picture of America’s higher education system poisoned by political extremism and hate.

“As the year progressed, Jewish students and Jewish groups on campus came under unrelenting scrutiny for any association, actual or perceived, with Israel or Zionism,” the report said. “This often led to the harassment of Jewish members of campus communities and vandalism of Jewish institutions. In some cases, it led to assault. These developments were underpinned by a steady stream of rhetoric from anti-Israel activists expressing explicit support for US-designated terrorists organizations, such as Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and others.”

The report added that 10 campuses accounted for 16 percent of all incidents tracked by ADL researchers, with Columbia University and the University of Michigan combining for 90 anti-Israel incidents — 52 and 38, respectively. Harvard University, the University of California – Los Angeles, Rutgers University New Brunswick, Stanford University, Cornell University, and others filled out the rest of the top 10. Violence, it continued, was most common at universities in the state of California, where anti-Zionist activists punched a Jewish student for filming him at a protest.

if you are feeling hopeless right now watching what is happening in palestine and you’ve already done a lot of what’s been suggested - resharing palestinian and leftist jewish voices, educating yourself on the topic from trustworthy news sources and organizers, following and learning about BDS and getting involved with it locally, calling your representatives if you live in the US or another country whose government supports israel - i need you to take what you’ve seen online and talk to offline friends and family about it. this could be anyone from very offline friends and family to your faraway friend who is only on one or two platforms. they are not seeing what you are seeing on your very curated feeds - they are seeing either deliberate misinfo, sanitized news propaganda, or barely anything at all.

pick 2 people in your life who aren’t as plugged in as you are. have casual conversations about it. connect with them on a personal level. these do not have to be people diametrically opposed to you, don’t waste time trying to convince people who are on a different wavelength of reality. i mean the people who just arent clued the fuck in. talk about this issue (and any others that come up) regularly, what you heard, what you read, what you saw. share the sources for those things with them when it’s appropriate, talk up anywhere that was helpful for you to learn. you know these people best as their friend or family, you know best how to empathize with them and get them to care or to get involved. if they seem interested, get them to talk to 2 more people. have them join you in the things you’re doing, have them call representatives and join local organizing with you.

i know in our circles online it may seem like the most urgent thing happening (bc it is!) but there are many people just going about their fucking day right now. you HAVE to help wake them up too. and this goes for any issue. and it may take time and chipping away at it and gently prodding people and making concessions and having a few uncomfortable conversations to hold their hand to get them there ideologically and teaching them but that is our responsibility. for every post you reshare online how many people in your life have you spoken to? how many IRL or phone or text conversations have you had? these things HAVE to be done in tandem. it’s worth it, even if it’s only 1 or 2 people.
