These two kids are Hamza (the oldest) and Qusai (the youngest).

Their mother shares this video and bids them goodbye. They were both killed by Israeli bombardment 5 days ago. She says:

[Two days before Hamza and Qusai were killed, hamza asked me: "mom, when we die, where will I go?" And I told him: "you will be a bird in heaven, my love." He said: "and Qusai?" "Just like you inshallah."

And indeed, two days later, he left and took his brother with him. It's like he was preparing me for saying goodbye to both of them. Heaven is more beautiful than any place on this Earth, habibi. We will meet and be reunited one day, me, your dad and you two].

Our kids don't deserve to die already thinking about what will happen to them, they don't deserve to die already terrified, anticipating their death because the world failed them and decided their lives mean nothing. We are not numbers. Remember their names and their stories.

there has been more moments than i can count in the past seven months where i felt destroyed by all the death and carnage i've seen due to the colonialism and imperialism of the world. but there was something in particular about hind's death that made me think the world would stop turning bc how could anything continue given how gruesome and inhumane her death was? and yet, the world did not stop. and i thought we were once again left to remember her story only in our minds as she became another number, as her murderers went on killing unpunished, and as her mother grieved with rage when all she wanted was to keep her daughter warm and as safe as she could manage in this man-made hell on earth.

however, hind, a girl who only got to experience her kindergarten graduation, is now being immortalized in universities across the nation. her story did resonate to the masses and we will not let her be forgotten nor forgive those complicit in her death. real justice would be having hind alive, but these students are showing that they will stop the world and burn the status quo it upholds to the ground if it means her people can truly be liberated.

seeing news outlets continue to lean on the "hamas is under the hospitals that's why israel is bombing the everloving fuck our of them" narrative is. infuriating

Palestine will be free

This is an excerpt from a Politico article. (Politico is a journal focused on US politics, especially Washington DC politics.) Keep making yourself heard! We can force a change!

Text of the excerpt under the cut for screen readers:

One House Democrat told me of a dinner last month with about eight other colleagues, a cross-section of the caucus ideologically and generationally. "It was unanimous that this Israel-Gaza war needs to end now and that Biden needs to stand up to Bibi," this lawmaker told me, before offering his own view.

"This is a disaster politically," said this House Democrat, who rarely criticizes Israel. "The base is really pissed--and it's not just the leftists. I have never seen such a depth of anguish as I've seen over this Gaza issue. Bibi is toxic among many Democratic voters and Biden must distance himself from him--yesterday."

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.

How does one adequately explain to USAmericans that their entire political apparatus is solidly in the grip of what they would call "Nazis"? That their donation posts are basically just leaving supplies outside of Auschwitz for the emaciated inmates to look at while they're gassed to death (and they're starting to hate us for it)? That all Israel has to do now to kill all 2 million of them is to fuck off and let them die of injuries, dehydration and starvation (there's very little food, water and medical supplies left), but they won't do that because they're having too much fun blowing shit up? That the longer it goes on, the closer it gets to exploding into an entire regional conflagration of war? Which will precipitate an oil crisis that will make everyone nostalgic for the one in 1973 that collapsed the global economy, leading the US and UK to go up in flames by next year?

Oh and the rest of us in the global South are going to starve too?

Don't forget Biden has auctioned off the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska to an unprecedented fracking project forecasted to tip the earth over the edge of climate collapse. And they're definitely going to do it because WAR and OIL CRISIS. (Also Rishi Sunak something something oil regulations, I forget, it's really bad.)

I really want someone to tell me this is just doomerism, but there's something fatalistic about trying to explain what a genocide looks like to the only people in the imperial core that can do something about it, except they can only visualise it as people with swastika armbands herding people into gas chambers. And the fact that they've been infighting on the internet so long that they no longer know how to connect with generational movements that know how to organise.

When we said liberalism was going to kill us all, we meant it quite literally and specifically.

[losergendered]

pisses me the fuck off when people act like israel “protects” judaism globally. cool yeah could you maybe explain what happened in 1982. how lebanese mizrahi populations were specifically targeted. how beirut was so completely destroyed that an entire generation of my family doesnt have birth certificates. i guess it doesnt count when the jews you’re killing are arab.

Help my baby please

🍉I am Hala, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza Strip 😭😭. I fled the war with my husband to Egypt..

The story began on March 21, 2024 when my beautiful child was born.. He was a wonderful and special child.. Suddenly, a week after his birth, my child Abdul Aziz's belly swelled up a lot and I visited several doctors without discovering the reason.. After another week of the child's suffering, I took him to a specialized hospital and the doctors there discovered a blockage in Abdul Aziz's colon that prevented him from excreting stool.. It was decided to perform a surgical operation consisting of an opening in Abdul Aziz's belly to temporarily remove stool from his intestines until the affected part of the colon was removed in another complex surgical operation that cost thousands of dollars..😭😭

I am speaking to you now with great sadness about my child's condition and I ask you to help me and donate to me to collect the costs of the operation within a month from now.

I appeal to everyone who can donate any amount, no matter how small, because it will save my child and give us hope.

Please don't leave my son alone to suffer and struggle in these difficult days alone.. You can support my campaign by donating what you can or share my posts to reach others who can help us by raising the cost of the surgery you are helping in the life of an innocent child with your small contribution. ❤❤🍉🍉

Every donation makes a difference in his very difficult life

How do I keep this dying plant alive?

I think it's an African Violet but I'm not 100% sure. It was a bit lopsided and wonky when I got it but since then it's gotten worse and lost a ton of leaves. I don't know what's wrong. Maybe it's the cold?

Any and all advice welcome because I don't know how to take care of plants like at all

Maybe you’re following the wrong people. My dashboard has been filled with support all day, it was refreshing to see.

it’s nice to hear that your dashboard is filled with support but yeah maybe you’re right anon. i wish i could figure out who is just simply ignoring this shit but i don’t have the energy or patience rn to hunt down who isn’t doing shit and staying silent. i don’t wanna assume that someone isn’t doing something on here and they’re literally in the streets protesting so i hope that whoever is intentionally silent about this and believe in the “two-sides nuance” or other zionist propaganda shit to just know that y’all are going straight to hell. but im grateful for my moots who have been vocal more than once rather than one reblog and then done.

[disco-cola]

ok im boutta rant so hard. so honestly the reaction of people (or sometimes lack thereof) to the recent events between palestine and israel is so telling… so many people even in my own surroundings are so ignorant and stupid and one-sided. being in support of a free independent palestine and still acknowledging the ongoing nearly daily mistreatments of Palestinian people by the IDF in the gaza strip west bank etc. even now after those recent horrible attacks on israel (which are not condonable or justifiable ever to me) does not make you a „terror sympathizer“ or even „anti-semitic“ like be so for real. this is exactly what the western media has been trying to make people believe for all those past years and they‘re doing it again now and using it for propaganda- which is why it’s so important to ALSO get updates from Palestinian sources (I use eye.on.palestine and theimeu and byplestia on insta since getting back from the trip and actually learning about the situation in 2020 and they are doing educational work on top of news too but beware it also contains uncensored extremely disturbing footage that a lot of western media just casually completely refuses to report about). It’s this complete disregard and erasure of Palestinian struggles for the past nearly eight decades and history under israeli occupation. The complete justification of the counterattack and pledges of unwavering solidarity in the big western newspapers without telling the whole story NEUTRALLY. Like what I’ve read in newspaper articles in the past days is actually SCARY bc it sounds like absolute brainwashing and is not neutral truthful reporting at all. I will say it as it is I don’t give a flying fuck about any of those violent colonialist settlers losing their lives. I also dont give a shit about any violent hamas member who killed an israeli civilian involved bc they are just as racist and evil. Scum like that needs to be wiped off the earth so that maybe one day this place really can find a solution in peace. And I really do wish that for Palestinian AND Israeli people, for Jewish AND Muslim people. I‘m so sorry for all the innocent lives lost who get caught in the crossfire but you also can’t tell me, and I’ve literally read this today in a big newspaper that I quote „israeli forces will do anything to protect Palestinian civilian lives“ bc it doesn’t line up at all with the footage shared from targeted regions in Gaza and that „Palestinian terrorists will use their children as shields and then cry into cameras and we cannot show sympathy for them“ when all I’ve seen are traumatized mothers or fathers who couldn’t even walk or stand up straight bc they were crying so hard. It’s inhuman to not show empathy like hello? I can’t believe this is actually what they’re printing and people are buying into it bc they think this is the right and political correct thing to do.

Also don’t forget about the fact Israel has one of the top high tech modern military forces in the world. Israel has iron dome and david’s sling (and thank god they do bc it does prevent more senseless deaths) which are highly advanced air defense systems which are said to have a catch rate of 90%. they are not catching and preventing ALL missiles from hitting sadly but A LOT of them. however when israeli military fires missiles on gaza, they KNOW for sure they WILL hit. Even if they apparently give „warnings“ to the population before starting an attack. In Gaza at least 900 civilians have already died in in the last 3 days, reportedly half of whom are women and children. Please think about them too when you mourn the victims, even if their pictures are not shown in the newspapers.
