I Don’t Recognise Myself Anymore by Meriam Awada

Gaza Updates (1/14/24) - Provided by Meriam Awada (@meriamawadatalk on tiktok)

100 days of genocide. Truly, Palestinians are some of the world's most resilient people. How we, as the human race, let this genocide go on for so long is beyond me. Today's updates in particular set the stage for self-reflection.

I know some of you may wonder why I don't report or delete the comments of the Pro-Zionists under my posts. Personally, I like to preserve history. I'd like to be able to point at those comments and tell the generations who come after me that I was not one of them. That I didn't justify the genocide of the Palestinian people. Because, when the day comes that Palestine is free, the world will try to cover its cruelty and those who engaged in it will backtrack. I will not let that happen. I will not let them forget who they are.

To quote Meir Baruchin, The Jewish history teacher Meriam mentions in this video who was jailed for showing his dissent toward the IOF for their genocide of the Palestinians, "I thought to myself, when I retire, I might conclude this is the most significant lesson I ever gave in civics."

keep your eyes open for Palestine news anywhere you can because not only did Biden get the ok to sensor even more content than ever before, but Gaza as of a just few hours ago is officially without internet access. The one news outlet (Al Jazeera) that sent out information from a subpar satellite most recently stated that bombs are being dropped non stop right now. And their next target is one of the largest hospitals in Gaza with currently 10s of thousands of people taking shelter, as well as reporters. The most important thing we can do right now is stay informed because that is exactly what they don’t want from us. FREE PALESTINE!

just a few tiktokers I highly recommend following:

if youre on tiktok please show meriam awada some love. shes been regularly posting updates on palestine and lebanon to push back against zionist propaganda and is not only getting hate from zionists for her support of palestine but also from supposedly pro palestine people for being tattooed and atheist. her family is grieving close friends killed by israeli bombing in southern lebanon. she has devoted so much time to debunking zionist misinfo and giving daily updates on gaza but people still want to hate on her solely bc of her appearance.

her main is @ meriamawadatalk and her backup is @ meriam.awada

IMPORTANT NOTE: "Subroutine" and Archive of Our Own

Subroutine and all its related stories are no longer available on Archive of Our Own. I will not passively or actively support the website's Zionist leanings on top of denying the active genocide (by calling those declarations an "antisemitic trope") going on in occupied Palestine.

I'd say that was a tough choice, but honestly?

I'm glad to be away from that cesspool.

I urge anyone to withhold monetary or publication support from the OTW/AO3. Name and shame them, because they've already done a bang up job of suppressing their actions, and uncritical AO3 supporters are complicit in helping them do that.

Remember to:

Listen to and amplify the voices of Palestinians on the ground (wizard_bisan1, motaz_azaiza, ismail.jood) or in the diaspora (iamsbeih, anat_international, byplestia).

Read about the history and culture of Palestine.

Support LGBT+ Palestinian voices pushing against US and Zionist peddling of Pinkwashing, Islamophobia, and anti-Arab stereotypes (of pre/post-9/11 xenophobia that allowed them to invade the Middle East and destroy millions of lives)

Boycott, Divest, and Sanction all parties and actors (lit., actors) involved with the genocide of Palestine, it's people, land, history, and culture. Yes, that means local, non-profits, or non-corps offering sympathy or monetary support of the Zionist movement and all forms of military or government bodies here in the states or abroad.

Do your research: visit the Palestine Archive, Palestine Academy, Decolonize Palestine.

Support organizations like Jewish Voices For Peace and Students for Justice for Palestine.

Call your representatives and demand they vote no on the numerous anti-Arab/Palestine bills or resolutions Zionist organizations such as the ADL and AIPAC are trying to push through. Keep calling them, make yourself a nuisance to these people.

Look into projects like Open Secrets, Olive Grove, Vote Socialist 2024, and in general, become more involved in your community and general elections. Look into what unions like United Auto Workers (UAW) and [Iowa City] Starbucks Workers United (SWU) are doing with regards to Palestine.

Look into supporting Unions working toward a General Strike.

Support anti-Zionist Jewish voices (sexualityscholar). They're gonna be your best source on why you shouldn't support a white nationalist movement that's, in part, responsible for the spikes in Islamophobia and antisemitism across the world.

Support Pro-Palestine content creators (realgodivagoddess, jupiterbaal, blacademics) trying to raise awareness about the genocide going on right now, but avoid grifters like Shaun King (aka, Talcum X/Yasser Arafraud).

Support news publications like Aljazeera or Jewish Currents who are covering the ongoing genocide and pushing back against disinformation and misinformation peddled by ADL and AIPAC.

Avoid Zionist websites like Facts for Peace and Jewbelong (dot org). - Honestly, start using adblockers to avoid being blasted by Zionist ads on YouTube, and etc.

Download the No Thanks app, and use bdnaash to avoid Pro-Zionist brands.

Be wary of/avoid Washington Post/Times, LA Times, BBC, Sky News, the Guardian, ABC News, WBAL CH11, JZ13, CNN, Fox News (srsly), or any other legacy news org. They are actively aiding in the misinformation and disinformation campaign against the Palestinians, and have fired news anchors or journalists questioning the Zionist agenda.

Watch Israelism, Tantura, and Palestinian cinema/films (GQME, PC).

Read the Goldstone Report, IMEU article on broken ceasefires, amnesty internationals report of illegal settlements in Palestine

Look into ongoing genocides or destabilization efforts in Haiti (bertrhude, flowerboyserge), Sudan (bsonblast), Lebanon (meriam awada), Syria (AJ), the Democratic Republic of Congo (sincerelysparrow), Yemen (AJ), etc., going across the Global South. Look at who the common actors are, who benefits from this chaos.

Archive and save all information about this current genocide and cultural history of Palestine. Because they will be trying to rewrite the story, and are doing it as we speak.

There are some just a few of the things you can do to support Palestine and support your own liberation from systems that have brought most of to the brink of poverty, zero job security, lack of proper healthcare, the destruction of our education system, erosion of free speech, and houselessness.

Happy New Year.

Meriam Awada: visual inspiration

I came across this artist on Instagram and I thought certain techniques and sinister imagery conveys concepts and ideas similar to my work. These artworks also have a certain fluidity that I am drawn to as I adopt similar techniques when creating my work. I felt it was important to include this in my research as I created my work not knowing about this artist, however we clearly have similar creative minds. This was nice to see and find an artist that conveys similar ideas in their work.
