There was another 4 minutes air raid warning this evening. These happen a few times a day, but usually not that long.

why don't i allow israel/palestine asks anymore?

to get started, i will establish my stance on the subject: i am pro-palestine, and i've listed some ways you can help at the bottom of this post. all y'all zionists can leave now, please and thanks. this is for my lovely followers who may be leaving asks. in addition, this post is not targeted at any one person in particular, this is just the result of a lot of my own thought over the conflict.

after a several month-long debate with myself, i am no longer allowing any asks about the israel-palestine war. any asks about the subject will be immediately trashed. here's why.

i suffer heavily from compassion fatigue. and i know some of y'all reading saw the words "compassion fatigue" and wrote me off as an asshole making shit up so i have a reason not to care. anyone claiming compassion fatigue "isn't real" is not only failing to demonstrate the very same empathy they demand from others, but is also just plainly uneducated on the subject, and therefore has no right to speak.

compassion fatigue is not neccessarily caused by exposure to information, like one would see just perusing the internet, but a person's empathy can be heightened/damaged by separate personal issues, which i won't be getting into on the internet, causing them to struggle with caring deeply about other issues (source). If you want to do some reading on compassion fatigue, here's a list of articles you can read.

what i will say is that this post is not meant to demean anyone for doing what they can to help, especially social media activists. it is because of social media activism that i know about this topic at all. however, talking directly to people about the issue unprompted is not the answer. i understand that the people who do this are likely teenagers, probably 13-17, looking to make a difference. i can say this, because i too was once a teenager, aged 13-17, looking to make a difference.

you really wanna help palestine? donate here, or here, or here. write letters or e-mails to your local politicians. do fundraisers in your community. hell, click this button everyday that @hiya-itsamber showed me. volunteer by helping put together refugee parcels. but in the kindest way possible- get out of my inbox. i am eighteen years old, financially dependent on my parents, and extremely mentally ill already. this is not the place for your well-intended activism.

How do you recognize a state without even asking them to release all hostages as a precondition to recognition? This is diabolical. How can the UN even discuss the recognition of a state holding hostages? The world must declare war on Hamas as they did with ISIS.

ICC issues arrest warrants for Israel’s Netanyahu, Gaza death toll surpasses 44,000

Gaza health officials said on Thursday that the death toll from the 13-month war between Israel and Hamas has surpassed 44,000, as the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Mohammed Deif for alleged war crimes related to the Gaza war.

ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant, Hamas leader Al-Masri

According to the warrants, Netanyahu and Gallant could be arrested if they travel abroad. According to unconfirmed reports, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri, also known as Mohammed Deif. may have been killed by Israel.

The court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, requested the arrest warrants in May, saying there were reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant were “criminally responsible” for the mass starvation in Gaza, which constitutes war crimes and crimes against humanity.

On Thursday, the court said it found reasonable grounds to believe that Deif was responsible for crimes against humanity and war crimes, including murder, torture, rape and hostage-taking.

Gaza officials say death toll surpasses 44,000

Gaza health officials said Thursday that the death toll from the 13-month war between Israel and Hamas has surpassed 44,000.

Gaza’s health ministry did not distinguish between civilians and combatants, but it said more than half of the dead were women and children. The Israeli military claims to have killed more than 17,000 militants, without citing any evidence.

Meanwhile, a rocket fired from Lebanon killed a man and wounded two others in northern Israel on Thursday, according to Israel’s main ambulance service.

The Magen David Adom rescue service said paramedics found the body of a man in his 30s near a playground in the town of Nahariya, near the Lebanese border, after a rocket fired on Thursday.

Israel launched a war against Hamas after Hamas-led militants stormed southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping another 251. About 100 hostages are still in Gaza, at least a third of them believed to be dead.

Most of the rest were released during a ceasefire last year. The Israeli offensive has caused severe destruction in the vast coastal territory and displaced 90 per cent of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million.

770 children arrested in the West Bank since last October

More than 770 children from the West Bank have been arrested since the start of Israel’s genocidal war against the Gaza Strip last October, human rights sources said.

On International Children’s Day, which is marked on November 20, the Commission for Detainees and Former Detainees and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society said on Wednesday that in light of the ongoing crime of enforced disappearance of Gazans, there are no accurate figures on arrested children from Gaza.

They explained that at least 270 children remain detained in Israel’s Ofer and Megiddo prisons, as well as in other military detention camps, including new camps established following the escalation of Israeli arrest operations that have affected thousands of citizens.

Human rights groups indicated that arrested children have been subjected to severe beatings and threats, confirming that statistical studies and documented evidence indicate that arrested children have been subjected to some form of physical or psychological torture through a number of systematic means and methods that contravene human rights laws, international conventions and the rights of the child. According to them, some children were executed on the spot during detention operations.

Statistical studies have also documented a number of cases of children being used as hostages by the Israeli army to force their family members to surrender, noting that the most striking of these cases was the story of a three-year-old child from the town of Beit Liqya in Ramallah who was arrested for an hour and a half before being released when his father was forced to surrender.

A Toronto Public Library branch removed a poem by a celebrated Palestinian poet killed in an Israeli airstrike in December, following pressure from pro-Israel lobby group B’nai Brith Canada, a move that advocates are calling a clear example of anti-Palestinian racism.

Hamas just released its proposal for a permanent ceasefire. Israel has dismissed all of their proposals as “unrealistic” — and that has been echoed across the U.S. corporate media.

Here are the actual proposals from each side.

[emptyportrait]

i'm actually so fucking sick of zionists using phrases such as "Was it worth it, Hamas?" cause literally what the fuck are y'all yapping about??? Israel has been indiscriminately bombing gaza in front of our eyes since last October, Israel has murdered more than 30 thousands Palestinians within 5 months, Israel is forcefully starving gaza, Israel is the one committing war crimes everyday, Israel is continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing. Israel. is. illegally. occupying. Palestine.

we all know who are the perpetrators here. and zionists can't gaslight people into "hamas started it" bullshit anymore. everyone is actually sick of Israel's dumb colonialism propaganda where they just repeat same old tactics “how dare you palestinians resist us, after we have your stolen land, freedom, human rights and subjugated your people under fascist colonial regime.”

Israel carry out atrocities in broad daylight and then go ahead blame Palestinian resistance for the said act of savagery they've performed, "O their audacity!" indeed!

I am horrified at the indifference of the whole world, at the silence of the Red Cross and inaction of the blemished UN.

They could put pressure on Hamas to free the hostages. Instead, they support inane students with their abysmal ignorance and their support of Hamas (they dare chant “We are Hamas!”). A real nightmare.

Houthis attack two tankers in Red Sea, shell US military base

Military tensions are rising in the Middle East as the Houthis again attacked tankers in the Red Sea and fired shells at US military bases in Syria.

The attacks in the Red Sea

Two crude oil tankers were attacked in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen on Tuesday, but neither was injured, maritime security agencies said.

The attempted attacks on the vessels, identified as the Liberian-flagged Delta Atlantica and the Panama-flagged On Phoenix, have the hallmarks of attacks by Iran-linked Houthi militants on international cargo traffic in solidarity with Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas.

The Houthis have not claimed responsibility. The ships and crews in both cases were unharmed and continued on to their next ports of call.

Since November, the Houthi military campaign has sunk two ships and killed at least three sailors. It continues despite US and UK strikes on equipment and launch pads in Yemen.

The threat of Houthi attacks has forced many ships travelling through the Suez Canal between Asia and Europe to reroute around Africa. This raises shipping costs, delays cargo and increases pollution.

Shelling of a US base

Shells fired towards a US airbase at a gas field in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor province did not hit the facility, two US officials said on Tuesday.

Earlier, a security source told Reuters that an Iranian-backed group fired six shells at the base, all of which landed in close proximity to the US base, adding that the US-led coalition responded to the attack with artillery.

A US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the shells did not hit the base and no one was hurt. He referred to early reports that could change.

Lebanese pro-Iranian TV channel Al Mayadeen reported that US warplanes were flying intensively in the skies over Deir ez-Zor after the attack. ConocoPhillips said it was aware of reports of damage to a US and coalition base in eastern Syria bearing the Conoco name, but its assets in Syria were withdrawn in the early 2000s.

The Pentagon said on Tuesday that eight US troops were injured in a drone attack on a base in Syria last week.
