Rebloging and reposting bloody gorey pictures of Palestinians when you regularly scroll past their gofundmes, videos of them telling their stores or just telling you about their day, or just generally ignoring them when they're alive is the opposite of helping
Palestinians should not gain value to you in death. The only thing about Palestinians on your blog should not be their death. These are real people who need support. And yes, showing the horrors of what israel does to them is helping, buts its not the only way of helping.
If your support for Palestine starts and stops with reposting those kinds of pictures then you do not support Palestine. You are using those pictures for their shock value and nothing else.
“Dear friends, my name is Bisan from Gaza strip, I am 32 and I am a teacher. My husband name is Abdullah and he is a pharmacist. I have 3 kids , karam is 10 years old, Sham is 7 years old and Maram is 5 years old.”
#thought of this after seeing a post of a disemboweled little girl when I went to the blog to see if she or her family had been identified#to see if there was a way to send money or support to them only to find that the account was 95% fandom an 5% gorey pictures of Palestinian#that's not support#not even a little bit#using their deaths for shock value is wrong#That person was someones whole life their whole heart and soul#But to you they were just another thing to show off#a golden badge of ‘i stand with Palestine’ but only after they've died#Palestine#free palestine#palestine genocide
