#Christmas of Gaza 🧨
The war is still continuing, eating away at our bodies and souls, making us lose a part of us with every passing day, and a large part of the world is deaf and blind. #Christmas has come and the world is celebrating and dancing, and we are living under pressure that no human being can bear: hunger, oppression, and injustice in all aspects of life. Explosions, killing and destruction in Gaza, and dancing and drumming in the world on the occasion of #Christmas as if there were no human beings in the world suffering and screaming because of hunger, loss and daily massacres against them and their rights.
Their families, I am one of these families who have lived through hunger, oppression, injustice and loss. I feel sad because of the paralysis of this world that has forgotten everything we are going through...
Please help me and my family to survive and live a normal and just life, Especially after I had a baby a few weeks ago, life has become more difficult than before, and the extreme cold is devastating our bodies. I am very afraid for my children and for this innocent baby who was born in difficult circumstances and has no signs of his future and needs health care and a warm atmosphere.
I ask all the honorable people of this world, not to forget us, and to help us 🙏

To be fair to you, there ARE plenty of people who believe and are genuinely claiming that she was at some point a cop.
Okay damn, I've only seen people say she supports cops and is basically this blue lives matter candidate and I assumed that people who say she was a cop kinda meant the same thing, but just phrased it like that to make a point, but who am I to question people's stupidity?
#but then again who am I to judge?#it's so easy to just say stuff online that you assume are correct but haven't looked that deeply into#and I noticed my own conformation bias lately#especially with everything going on in Palestine#like I was so quick to believe posts defending Palestine#but as soon as I saw something pro Israel I immediately questioned it#which would be the right response for both#but it just feels like asking for sources and not taking every claim at face value means questioning if Palestinians are even the victim#which is so stupid#obviously you should be able to fact check all your sources and even take sources that go against what you seriously#if you are right than you will just confirm that and if you aren't then you learned something new#and also to stay with the Palestine example the overall narrative of Palestine can be true without every piece of information being true

Just saw some Free Palestine supporters on the road to my parents’ house and was about to wave at them but then I saw a couple of them holding signs making disgusting antisemitic jokes about Passover. Guys seriously how fucking difficult is it to just. Not do that 😭 You’re really not giving Palestine extra help by making horrible comments and jokes about Jews ffs can you not just promote support for Palestine without bringing hatred for entire minority demographics into it DURING THE TIME OF A RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY. It is remarkably easy to criticise Israel without antisemitism and if you can’t do that then maybe you should stay out of the movement because you’re causing much more harm than good
#It was in such a small town as well where I doubt anyone has ever even met a Jewish person#Like in the city I’d expect some of that cos there’s more people but a tiny Northern town? That’s scary#Makes me so sad when bigots highjack what should be a compassionate movement#I know it must be so scary to be Jewish or Muslim right now and it stresses me out just thinking about it#Like it’s scary being Jewish or Muslim any day of the year but especially with everything going on lately#I’m sad. People make me sad#When will the hatred and violence ever stop fr#Ugh my day’s ruined now someone send me something funny pls#personal#vent#rant#antisemitism#free palestine#free gaza#i/p#protest

so one of the organizers of that flag project at the txt concert talked about it and it was mostly to clear the fact that some people were trying to diminish their efforts because they bought tickets anyway even tho bringing flags, posters and signs and qr codes for donations and etc to concerts and events is part of the boycott efforts too but that's a whole separate subject i wanna touch on this thing they said in their thread
a hybe staff approached them and asked about the flags even tho it's more than obvious the staff was aware of what was happening. they also said that the hybe asked what country that flag was from and basically acted oblivious to it but he didn't stop op or anything but he just kept watching them the whole time
i'm talking about this to underline that, yes, hybe is very aware of what we are trying to do and i honestly found this instance very insidious to me. i think they didn't actively stop anything because they knew they would get severe backlash from it but i want people to be aware of this because it does seem important
#i know for a fact they didn't expect people to bring the flags to concerts that's for sure#it's very obvious they are aware of the boycott and everything going on#especially because weverse moderation has been taking down posts about palestine and so on#this is not even that surprising#it's just very odd to me#hybe#hybe labels#hybe boycott#hybedivestfromzionism

if ppl telling you "jewish ppl in israel were already kicked out of other countries and have no where else to go" makes you feel compelled to call whoever said that a "zionist", I really just dont think you give af about jewish ppl's lives quite frankly.
if your "free palestine" means "getting rid" of all jewish civilians in israel I think you're probably just a heartless asshole.
#two state solution ftw#or at least something along those lines#yelling at average jewish ppl who ARENT in israel is antisemitic#anti semitism- no matter how 'big of a deal' you think it is naturally makes jewish ppl feel unsafe by default#where do they go when theres nowhere else thats safe? you guessed it- probably to israel.#which is WHAT netanyahu wants. he wants scared controllable civilians to think hes the only one who can protect them#so you being anti semitic and not checking yourself on it or being 'whatever its nbd' about it is making everything so much worse#STOP BEING SO FUCKING APATHETIC FUCK ILL BEAT YOU UP TO MAKE YOU FEEL SOMETHING IF I HAVE TO#i dont feel like i can in good conscious reblog your 'free palestine' posts bc idk wtf the op thinks about jewish ppl being in#israel. and at this point i dont have faith in leftists to not notice the antisemitism in some of these ppl and call it out#its not something we can 'push aside and deal with and apologize for later' its ACTIVELY MAKING THE SITUATION WORSE AND NEEDS#TO BE ADDRESSED RIGHT THE FUCK NOW#maybe jewish ppl wouldnt be calling it 'self defense' if yall didnt keep being antisemitic and making them feel like they have to cling#to israel to stay tf alive. fuck.#OBVIOUSLY the response to what hamas did is disproportionate and affecting more people than israel says it intends to target#but thats the govt. and actual regular people are worried about their families. its disproportionate and probably being used as an excuse#to genocide palestinians but this wouldnt be happening if hamas didnt basically GIVE the israeli govt the excuse to do it.#free palestine. from hamas and from the israeli govt. and dont have genocidal intent toward jewish ppl.#thats all i want.#hamas' escalation did nothing but hurt everyone and make things worse especially for palestinians.

Something that drives me fucking insane is when zionists insist that Palestine can't be a country because "ohhh but- but they (Palestinians) don't even have the pronunciation for P in their language. 🥺 They can't say their own name, ohhhh ohhhhhh it can't be real." Are you fucking stupid. You're blatantly trying to erase the existence of a country and people using a fact that doesn't actually have any real base. You know that different languages have different pronunciations for different letters right? J in Spanish and J in English sound completely different. And you know that people native to a country usually have a different name for their country right? Like people in China aren't calling China China, I'm like 90% sure they usually call it Zhongguo. People in other places aren't saying like United States of America, even in the other Latin based languages. Spanish speaking countries say Los Estados Unidos, and that's pretty different even though SPANISH ONE OF THE CLOSEST LANGUAGES TO ENGLISH. LOOKING YOU DEEP IN YOUR DISGUSTING FUCKING EYES ARE YOU STUPID
#just. the blatant attempt to erase the validity of an entire country that theyre trying to destroy. and especially with language. is fuckin#enraging. everything about it is disgusting but this especially has been weighing on my mind because i Have seen people think that this is#valid way to disprove the existence of palestine. it has made people change their minds and it shouldnt for so many reasons#but i just need everyone to know that its not fucking true#ofc this is assuming that they actually dont know#also some languages have more or fewer letters/characters than others. theyre not the same THEY DONT SOUND THE SAME THATS THE POINT#this point isnt as prevalent now as it was a little bit ago but i do hear it sometimes#and more irl than online. but you all go out into the world irl. so#im not a linguistics or arabic expert but jfc come on#i chose usa bc i kind of figure thats where most zionists are actually from. and thats where i hear it the most#your eurocentric views of language and spreading of misinfo and erasure of an entire group of people should have some sort of consequence

WIP - from the Descendants rewrite that's been cooking on the back burner in my brain since 2019 and was brought back to full flaming rage after the release of the latest installment:
Nights on the Isle are never quiet. They shouldn't be, for if they were, its inhabitants might as well be dead. (And - well.) (That's not possible.) No, the Isle is buzzing with life at night. Figures hide in the shadows, knives behind their backs. Children scamper between alleys looking for food, tired, hungry and thin. Drunken adults stumble on the streets looking for a way to satiate their desires, through drinks or whoever is unlucky enough to cross their way. Gangs make their moves against each other in their never-ending games, always at each other's throats. (Everyone hiding, everyone running away from something with nowhere to go.)
Until, that is, the rumours start. And they spread like wildfire. Whispers begin to travel the streets, winding through battered alleys and broken homes. The barge never makes an appearance at this time of the month. Speculative murmurs, knives sharpened and gleaming in the dim night light. On the far off horizon, barely distinguishable from the still-dark sky, a boat approaches silently. From a shabby, grimy rooftop, four shadows watch as it draws nearer.
#descendants#disney descendants#i support Disney in no way just to clarify#they are funding a genocide#everything i write#especially in regards to descendants#is a direct#scathing commentary on what they are doing in real life#please go and donate to any fundraisers you can find#free palestine#mal descendants#jay descendants#evie descendants#carlos descendants#disney

Ah yes
Ye olde call out post for someone [checks notes] talking about antisemitism but not making any public posts discussing israel, zionism, or Palestine
How dare you not performatively beg to be seen as a 'good jew' and how dare you call yourself a Jew without amending a required 'antizionist' label to yourself every single time you refer to yourself
Especially in [checks notes] posts where you discuss the inherent issues or requiring Jews to label themselves as 'good' before being allowed the conditional acceptance of talking about their own experience on their own blog.
I am someone who is willing to talk about my my thoughts and feelings about the state of Israel. I've got a post in my drafts that is 10 paragraphs long that is just the contextual preamble trying to get to the point of talking about one thought I had while at a community event.
And I'm a blog with 3 active followers, and I'm at the beginning of my explorations of how all the concepts relate to me as an individual
Of course a Jewish blog with a large following might not make public posts about current events
On the other hand you could say oh but posting about it is the /least/ you could do
How do you know they aren't posting elsewhere? How do you know they aren't doing other actions?
Also
And I can't stress them enough
One of the screenshotted posts calling them out for being an eevil zionist
Was them talking about the antisemitism they experienced
While at a protest march for Palestine
Hear ye hear ye add the Jew to the block list for the crime of not calling themselves an antizionist while actively on the ground protesting for Palestine and realizing there were Nazis around them
#My posts#Tumblr#Antisemitism#Same as how people rage at anyone discussing antisemitism#Bc it's not on the same scale as the harm in Gaza#Y'all do realize that internal local issues#Can be talked about on parallel#To external international issues#That you can work on both?#That you need to work on both?#Would you dismiss the rise in islamophobia for the same reason?#People are allowed to just be people#And not have to post their personal statement on everything especially stuff like this#I cannot stress enough the call-out post included them going to a protest as evidence that they don't care about Palestine#Because talking about the antisemitism at the protest was one of the few times they've talked about Palestine on the blog#Surely irl action and community building is more important?#But call-out culture people don't care about actual community building or building bridges#Vent#Rant#Negativity

i think i need to be online less but unfortunately it is so much easier to be online than to not be online
#okay i'm about to be tmi in the tags#i want to stay informed about everything going on rn especially palestine#because not knowing what's happening or how to help makes me more anxious#but also my ocd in the past 48 hours alone has been actually fucking buckwild#and i seem to be incapable of not doomscrolling#so like. Logging Off Entirely TM doesn't feel like the answer. but holy shit lol#also it's much easier to like. open tumblr for two seconds than to open a book for two seconds because a book requires more focus time#but then sometijmes two seconds turns into agonies. so#okay whatever. the post is over i might delete this in the morning#max.txt

i’m also really sorry but continuing to actively promote a brand or a franchise that is notably guilty and complicit and even exploitative of what’s happening in palestine not even just financially but promotionally (continuing to write for said franchise, continuing to repost things relating to said franchise, at all) is morally counterproductive and contradictory and i just have to say that because i feel like no one else is going to
#and i’m going to be so honest this is in fact directed at the last of us writers#because if you do all of this only to continue to write for fictional characters that have ties to the game and the game itself is like#problematic in nature#then that doesn’t make any sense#you kind of have to stand on business#i feel like what’s happening in palestine is such a real thing that extends far beyond like fictional characters#and especially if there’s a company or something that is moving in a pro israel fashion in any way#if you choose to embrace that on your own terms so that you can feel better#you’re still embracing that company#you’re still embracing that franchise#you are not fully standing on business#and that to some extent makes what you’re doing performative#i’ve had this conversation with a few of my friends because like seriously in the grand scheme giving up like#comfortable access to like starbucks and games and tv shows that outwardly have a pro israel narrative or support israel#is really not that difficult and if it is difficult for you then i think you need to redefine your activism#it’s not a matter of what you’re doing right now but what i will say if this conversation surrounding palestine dies down and people just#go back to pretty much what is business as usual and disregard everything you’re doing now if you’re doing anything now#that’s really not okay#and it’s actively not okay to play for two teams#especially when one so clearly morally outweighs the other#stand up#download hinge#or tinder#find another fandom to write for and promote and embrace#it’s gonna be okay

I... don't know how I feel about this statement. I mean, the statement itself is well written, and I like how they gently go "hey if you want to do activism there are better options than harassing some internet comedians."
But just... validating the complaints with this kind of response seems dangerous, especially given Dropout clearly recognizes they're tenuous at best. Like, I'm all for them taking an explicit stance on Palestinian liberation and directing fans to charities, but it feels like giving these accusations the time of day is encouraging more harassment.

#like with rachel ok there is a case to be made because from what i've seen of her views yeah she is pro-israel and it makes me sad#but also she wasn't like? advocating it on the show?#do they need to scour every guest's social media before inviting them? or just jews? because spoilers THE LATTER IS ANTISEMITISM#i'm all for criticizing people who hold shitty views but ostracizing them from everything will only drive them to reactionary rabbitholes#and anyway it seems like the main thing was about noah which from what i can tell at least was barely anything and nothing current#like best case scenario this was keyboard warriors playing purity politics but i strongly suspect it's mostly just antisemitism#y'all need to fucking understand that like. there is a VAST reckoning happening in american judaism rn#and that a lot of if not most american jews grew up in a culture that implicitly supports israel#in the same way that usamericans are raised in a culture that implicitly supports the us#idk if you got mad at noah saying he was proud of his grandfather and making uninformed statements during the immediate aftermath of oct 7#you better also be having that same energy for anyone who has ever celebrated july 4 in their life or who was scared after 9/11#because it's the same fucking shit. different countries same shit#anyway i don't actually disagree with dropout's statement at all and especially the part about letting ppl learn and grow#i'm just unhappy they felt the need to make it and i'm scared it's going to embolden antisemites in the fandom#anyway i'm going back to my cave where i don't talk about palestine on the internet again now because there is no fucking nuance#ps if you use the word “zios” in my notes i'll block you

(PRE-ORDER) FUNDRAISER STICKERS FOR GAZA!!
Pre-order will end on December 11, 2024 so get them while they're hot!!
GET STICKERS HERE!!!
100% of funds will be donated to families in Gaza! Check out their fundraisers below, and please consider supporting them!!
Ameera's family: They currently live in North Gaza that has been experiencing dire Israeli-made starvation. Her young kids, youngest of which is 2 years old. She has spoken to me about how she hasn't been able to find anything for her kids to eat, like milk for her baby, and getting funds would really help her afford to feed her family.
Ahmed's and Dina's family: A family with 3 kids and one newborn. Urgently needs funds for medical treatment and essential goods. With winter approaching, these funds become crucial for affording winter clothes.
Rawan's family: $8k urgently needed to help take care of her mother, who needs treatment for a tumor. The funds will also be going to support her family as they await the crossing to open for evacuation.
Alaa's family: She is trying to care for her two very young kids, the younger of which has a skin infection that needs to be treated. She is facing constant bombardment and needs help.
Aya's family: She is helping to take care of 19 family members, including 9 children.
Walid's family: Walid is 3 and has two sisters, Layan (2) and Toleen (6). He is disabled and needs treatment.
Rawan and Yemna's family: two sisters and their father who need access to essential goods to live.
All of these campaigns are equally urgent and I can understand the difficulty in choosing one to donate to, especially if you don't have much to spare.
But it's better to choose one than to let indecision keep you from choosing any.
Also, your one donation won't solve everything (unless you're a millionaire and can spare tens of thousands at a time LOL) so, and I say this in the nicest and most gentle way possible, get over yourself! Pitch in whatever you can spare like the thousands and thousands of people donating to these fundraisers every day, and acknowledge that you can't save the world BY YOURSELF - but with many others acting with you, you can make a difference!
As always, free Palestine and all oppressed peoples of the world!

You know what hits me hard? When 5 to 6 year old children, all the way in Southeast Asia, knows about what's happening in Palestine right now. That children their age is getting bombed, that they're starving to death, that they're getting shot at, and sniped in the head. Because, just this past 2 or so months, I heard some of the little ones in the Kindergarten classes I'm TAing in as an Intern talk about it. Hell, one of the little boys downright said he didn't like Israel, because Israel is bad, because they do scary things. Another was questioning whether Palestine was bad too, because, "why else would they shooting at them?". A little girl in one of my classes doesn't want to finish her food at all, because she wants to save at least half her meat and rice for kids in Palestine, because she heard that, they don't have food. And that's just the ones I remember. Namely the inciting cases before their classmates slowly follow suit. The littles are fricking SCARED. We had to sit these kids down, and tell them that the topic is too mature for them at the moment, that they shouldn't even be concerned because they're KINDERGARTNERS, they're not even old enough to properly understand. The one teacher I was TAing for had to make a class announcement saying that. What gets me is, these are 5 to 6 year olds, the youngest I've worked with in this specific age group is 4. 5 years old on average, and they've already been exposed to the worst horrors genocide has to offer through the news and snippets of conversation among adults and hell, considering how many of them say they like to play games on Mama's phone, or their IPad, even from fricking social media. And the fact that, these literal babies, from all the way in Cambodia, has more empathy in their entire body and soul, than full grown fricking adults have in the nail of their pinky finger, gets me. FFS we as adults could LEARN from them I feel sometimes. I honestly don't know what to feel about it anymore. On the one hand, this is the next generation I'm working with. And if the next generation's default response to a tragedy such as Palestine, is what I've seen come up on occasion so far? Perhaps there's some bloody hope for this world after all. At least in this country. Especially since a majority of them already come from families who survived a genocide. These are the 3rd - 4th generation descendants of those who survived the Khmer Rouge. They've got grandparents at home, who no doubt are more than intimately familiar with what Palestine is going through right now. And it shows.
But on the other, it makes my heart sink because these are CHILDREN, these are LITTLE KIDS, they should be playing with their toys and watching cartoons and talking to their friends about everything from Spiderman to Speakerman to Kuromi and her friends, and be worried about whether or not they can go to playground that day, guranteed they're well behaved, or if Mama remembered to pack in their costume for swimming lessons that week. NOT JUST MY KIDS. But the little ones in Palestine too. They deserve better. They all deserve, so much better. Hell, it's come to the point that whenever I look at my kiddos right now, whether they'd be working in class, playing, doing something as mundane as eating lunch or getting ready for their nap. I think of the children their age in Palestine that didn't even get the chance to survive. I think of the ones whose memories from this age, is nothing but absolute horror and pain, rather than what has slowly become my normal, who never got to experience what my littles do on a daily basis right now.
Children shouldn't even be concerned about "War", about a Genocide. The last thing that should be on a 5 year old's mind, is pain, and suffering, and the worst horrors imaginable ever to be inflicted on a human being. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S INFLICTED, ON OTHER CHILDREN THEIR AGE. And for that alone, the world has failed them. Especially the kids in Palestine who didn't ask for any of this. They just wanted to carry on with life as kids do, the same way as my littles do on a daily basis no doubt, learning, playing, chatting with friends over their favourite cartoons and characters, worrying about whether they'd get to go to the playground or not that day.
I apologize for talking about this on this blog. I know my blog tends to be lighter in feel, a lot more unhinged and light hearted typically. I mean, I'm just a fricking nerd who likes to draw and write, and lurk about her favourite fandoms to consume and support what is shared among other nerds who also like to draw and write. But I couldn't stop thinking about it. About contemplating it, especially since I'll be back on a roll tomorrow, working with my kiddos again after not seeing them for 5 days straight because of Holidays. And, I just had to talk about it. This is something I felt I couldn't keep to myself this time, I don't think my soul'd be able to carry it. I had to talk about it.
FREE PALESTINE. Our children deserve better.
#free palestine#gaza#palestine#rafah#israel#current events#gaza strip#human rights#childrens rights#save the children#cease fire in gaza#cease fire now#cease fire permanently#palestinian genocide#support gaza#pray for palestine#ceasfire now
