#end this genocide

[rvllybllply2014]

A not so friendly reminder. Rafah is under is under attack and has been since Sunday. Tell again how this isn’t a genocide? They were forced into this “safe zone”, but it’s no longer a safe zone. The Zionist have taken a page out of history’s worst playbook. Enough quit saying it’s about the hostages, it never was, because if it was they won’t be targeting and terrorizing “safe zones”.

Been thinking about how the US was initially established.

Been thinking about how we as Americans were taught in school about Cowboys and Indians and the settling of the West.

Of course America is supporting Israel. They are doing EXACTLY what we already did.

The only differences are the new tools of war and the new tools of communication.

#ceasefirenow! The genocide happening to the Palestinian people needs to end. So many lives have been lost. It’s beyond horrific and cruel. 🇵🇸

As is the case for THOUSANDS of other Palestinians. Even in death, they aren't free from the crimes of the occupation.

At best, they can't be buried like in this case, and at worst (that we know of), their dead bodies, skins, and organs are stolen.

As consistently as the genocidal Israeli occupation has been committing these crimes, and although I've known of a lot of them since I was a child, I still don't understand how the world we live in allows this to happen. How it allows the occupation to exist and continue committing such heinous crimes (because its very existence started with & is due to heinous crimes and can only be maintained through them)

How the occupation and its filthy criminals commit these crimes and live with themselves is another story entirely, and it's one I never want to understand. I just want it to stop.

الله المنتقم، حسبنا الله و نعم الوكيل.

Child of War

"take your war away from me" I said, and then I clung to it with my hands and my feet, still begging for it to let go. This war lives inside me; to separate myself from it is to deny my own existence. I am a child of war. I was born under skies lit up with missiles, my newborn cries muffled by the sound of bombs outside the hospital window. I know it like i know my mother's womb, because the first sound I heard upon arriving to this Godforsaken world was not that of the woman cradling me in her arms, but that of the enemy claiming my land the moment it became mine, holding my miniscule hand in promise that this war will never end, even if the missiles stop; it will sound at the back of my head as the first thing i have ever heard, it will keep mocking me, long as i exist, and taking away the things that were supposed to be mine like my hometown and the sacred garden of my grandparents' house, and all my favorite memories that float around, now forever lost, since the walls they lived in were turned into rubble and dust; like my mother's voice at birth and my father not being so far away, the day i was first brought to this earth. This war may have so many names, depending on the time and place, but don't be fooled, it has always been one and the same. "Take your war away from me", I said but the war is mine, I breathed it in with my first breath and it will stay in my veins till my death, it resides. "take your war away from me", I said but the war won't go until it ends or until I end, at the hands of it.

There's a person in a pit and two people on the ground above them.

Person one: Let's try to help them out of the pit!

Person two: *tossing more people into the pit*

Person one: what are you doing?!

Person two: *crossing the pit by walking over the people they tossed into the pit*

Person one: *helping the people out of the pit* this is awful!

Person two: *climbing on top of more people to sit on a throne*

Person one: *starts to build a bridge over the pit*

Person two: I'm in charge now. You're not allowed to build bridges

Person one: *outraged* why do you get to decide that?

Person two: Hey if you wanted to be in charge you had equal opportunity, so don't complain

A Palestine Sunbird. This Genocide needs to end. It’s beyond horrible, tragic and heartbreaking.💔Palestine needs to be free!🍉🇵🇸

[shenanaginag]

Don't forget, this isn't the end until "Israel" is permanently removed from Palestine, and doesn't go on to oppress other peoples. Keep pushing for a full-scale ceasefire and the removal of the apartheid occupation.

BIG WIN FOR PALESTINE.

The United Nations General Assembly adopts a Palestinian resolution calling on Israel to end its occupation by an overwhelming majority:

124 states voted in favour, 43 abstained, 14 voted against.

Israel is finished. The world recognises its apartheid and genocidal regime.

One of many pieces of information rarely discussed that has stuck with me in studying the Holocaust in a literacy class is that people who survived the death camps often did not survive starvation. It is very difficult for a severely malnourished body to recover from starvation. A severely malnourished body will struggle to process food at all, and many people die in the process of “refeeding.” This is called refeeding syndrome for this reason. Reintroducing food can and often is fatal without careful, medical guidance.

Starvation is one of the most common and effective forms of genocide. What makes it effective is that past a certain point, even if aid has been delivered, it is not enough to save someone from death by starvation. What also makes it effective is that withholding food is viewed as a passive consequence of political turmoil rather than an intentional act of violence among a people. You will see more people die from starvation in genocides across history because it is an effective way to kill many people without the use of state resources.

The starvation of Gaza is intentional. The United States and Israel may gesture that they are delivering or allowing aid into Gaza, but in reality they are active participants in the starvation of Gaza by destroying medical infrastructure, limiting the amount of aid “allowed” in, and blocking aid trucks from entering. Throwing food into Gaza by airdrop at this point in the genocide will not be enough without medical infrastructure to refeed a severely malnourished population. Many will die anyways. Many have already.

I’d just like to acknowledge that South Africa wouldn’t have such a strong case without the work of the journalists, both alive and martyred, on the ground in Gaza supplying the world with firsthand information about the genocide and that they deserve thanks for it.

It shouldn't stop at a bad feeling. It should inspire action. It should send you to protests. It should send letters to your politicians (if your country is supporting this in any way). It should affect the things you buy, so you're not sending money to this genocidal imperial machine.

Don't just feel bad, do something about it!

Even if it's just a little bit.

my heart absolutely breaks for gaza. imagine screaming for help. for someone to save you and the world ignores you for the most part. shame on anyone and everyone who supports this. where is your empathy.
