do people really just wanna be fans of the hunger games and not mention palestine at all? like honestly? do you really wanna just support fictional uprisings and fighting back against fictional oppression but don't actually give a shit about it in real life? did y'all genuinely learn and internalize nothing from this series????
#the hunger games fandom has absolutely disgusted me the past 8 months#there's literally ZERO discussion of palestine & the genocide & the explicitly obvious parallels the books draw to what's going on#but no. everyone just wants to talk about everlark and fucking toast babies#its gross as fuck#its hard to be excited about the new book (which i am) because i now hate this fandom so much#fandom clearly didn't learn shit & even if they did they don't actually care about real brown people that are being visibly slaughtered#sunrise on the reaping#the hunger games#free palestine#thg#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#tbosas#hunger games#suzanne collins#haymitch abernathy#panem#katniss everdeen#palestine

“I don’t talk about Palestine because I don’t like going into politics : /” fuck you. The existence of Muslims and MENA people has always been political to the West. Their lives and their deaths. Their happiness and anger and sorrow. Their love and hatred. Their sweat and blood and tears. Everything has always been reduced to politics when they are more than you could ever begin to comprehend. Palestine will be free. And so will Sudan and Pakistan and Lebanon and Yemen and Syria and every other country, place and people who suffer only for their pain to be called political by those responsible for and complicit in it
#before anyone starts i fucking know you personally aren’t responsible#that doesn’t change the fact everyone in the west benefits from this system that has historically oppressed and harmed non-western countrie#and it’s your responsibility to acknowledge and understand this#i also have been living in a western (generalised not geographically#and it’s easier and i know why it’s easier#my heart goes out to non-muslim and mena countries and people but i wanted to talk about their very specific plight they experience#pakistan#middle east#north africa#free palestine#palestine#falesteen#lebanon#syria#yemen#sudan#free sudan#non-outsiders

aaron stated his pronouns were he/him to jounalists and news outlets before his self-immolation. speculating someone else's gender, especially after his death is disrespectful and not your business. even if he went by lilly and used other pronouns, you are essentially trying to out him and disrespecting his wishes. maybe you should do as aaron asked and keep your focus on palestine instead of sending hate to a black trans person on here
im not sending hate to this person, i havent even interacted with him unless those anons were sent by him. i continue to use he/him for aaron bushnell, as per his last public communications, because as per the original post this is about, this is all speculation. i appreciate you coming to me off anon to tell me this, but i want you to think about whether this discussion is genuinely harmful to aaron bushnell's legacy or the palestinian freedom movement as a whole, whether it is just uncomfortable or in poor taste, and most importantly whether it warranted the widespread backlash against trans women on this website that it elicited.
#i guess my point being that#the post people are talking about IS an uncomfortable read - and i would not blame you for saying its in bad taste#but as it stands i dont see it detracting from awareness of the situation in palestine or from the statement aaron made#THAT is what ive been trying to say this whole time - not that i even agree with the original post#but that the backlash against it has been disproportionate#and indicative of a wider pattern of scrutiny towards trans women on this website that is not applied to everyone else

genuinely anyone raving about the met gala this year and rating outfits — i don’t care if you did this in years past, if you are talking about the met gala and not also talking about the suffering in palestine right now, that is despicable. ESPECIALLY since there was a protest for palestine right outside those stupid, extravagant doors that celebrities payed $75k to get through.
#this one guy i follow on insta#has stated his love for the met gala and his admiration for those artists that make those dresses#and he STILL ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT FELT WRONG TO CELEBRATE THIS YEAR#while everyone was talking about the met gala#his post was about rafah#and the 1.4 million palestinians that have been forced there#palestine#free palestine#rafah#all eyes on rafah#all eyes on palestine#fuck the met gala#fuck eurovision#evvy talks to the void#met gala#gaza strip

Thinking about how "self defence" is considered okay until a country the west is not allied with does it.
#yes this is about iran#israel attacked first and then they responded and now everyone is like “wait wait they can't do that!”#and I'm just sitting here looking at Palestine like ???#And look I'm not saying I condone any violence esp against civilians#but I am saying it's bery ironic and telling#when Israel fucks around and finds out#I am kind of here like damn finally tasting the taste of your own spit that you spat at another#must feel like throwing stones in a glass house eh Israel is kinda the feel I'm feeling rn#but anyway#also a note while I say I'm generally against violence I do think resistence is expected and deserved when colonial powers oppress people#I'm specifically talking about how I'm not condoning any attacks on civilians#BUT resistance is justified while Palestine is occupied#and long live the Antifada#both are two things that coexist for me here#and things I think are being honoured in the resistence the more I hear of personal accounts of said civilians#*civilians#When one military side says “oh this happened!” only to be proven as liars over and over again#then the hostages themselves say “no we were attacked with friendly fire from israel”#and for that to be proved??#Then hearing how said hostages say “Hamas put their bodies on the line to cover us from said friendly fire” like??#maybe Hamas aren't the aggressors when they treat their hostages like this and israel has killed their own just to get at Hamas and civ-#-illians alike#tag comments are a mess and probably don't accurately portray feelings fully but long live the antifada and down with colonialist lies

I'm getting the feeling that I'll be seeing a lot of Zionists' comments on my posts unfortunately, but I'll inform everyone about them if you want to block and move on
This was off my strike posts earlier
If you missed the last one I had posted
Let's not forget that Israel refused HAMAS's deal to release hostages, by the way.
And just the other day, I found out that Israel's always had a plan for ethnic cleansing and recommend everyone to look into what's known as Plan Dalet created back in 1948.
Peace was never in Israel's plans -- genocide was.
Reminder: Bisan has called for marches for Ceasefire between today to the 20th, and there is an ongoing strike that started today extending to the 25th.
#free palestine#palestine#free gaza#gaza#ceasefire now#ceasefire#i know syrma and i were talking about it before#about how it sounds like zionists are also getting hired to posts and counter or whatever#which i don't really understand in full tbh#but i thought to use this opportunity also to talk about palestine more#and about how this has been going on since 1948#if all else i feel like you need to at least know plan dalet#my friend and i from home are listening to an audio book called 'the ethnic cleansing of palestine' by ilan pappe#who is actually an israeli historian but he talks about all of israel's plans for how to conquer palestine#i'm still not done with it and i want to proceed further with it but i've been busy#anyways#i don't exactly have the energy to combat every single zionists comment on my posts#i feel like i only run into them by accident but i'm gonna try to not waste my energy to argue#there's better places to use that energy. like informing yall on some history and talking about marches/strikes#anyways i hope everyone's doing their part the best they can

Everyone talking about adopting Palestinian kids needs to read Scott Carney’s The Red Market and a brief definition of genocide outside of the physical destruction of lives.
#ra speaks#personal#adoption#palestine#the red market#it’s been years since I read that book#but the sections about the trafficked kids has always stuck with me#about the family who had their son stolen. who tracked him down in America. who asked the family to see him#not to take him home not to be a part of his life but simply to speak with a now young teenager#and tell him how much they loved him and missed him and were happy he was safe#only for the family to deny them.#like Jesus fucking Christ man that shit has fucked me up#idk maybe it’s just cause my countin died recently#and she was adopted and her graduate psychology work was with adopted kids because she was passionate#about the flaws and dangers of the system she grew up in#but every person who talks about saving the children when they mean taking them away from everything and everyone they’ve ever known#it makes my skin crawl#we should be putting effort into keeping track of families. of finding family friends and connections for these kids.#not throwing them into a new country full of racists who will give them shit for where they were born no matter how American they’re raised

And on another note despite what I’m focusing on I do think it’s abhorrent to assume everyone who voted for or supported Harris is chill with genocide like yeah that’s like. What blew up online that tori maya shit was stupid as fuck but due to the disorganization and lateness of this campaign there was REAL misinformation being spread especially to our elders by ppl misconstruing info and a large number of ppl genuinely RIGHT NOW believe she’s pro Palestine called for a ceasefire etc. Like that’s a big chunk of the issue happening rn - where ppl literally made up policies for her or suddenly fell for “neutral” talking points bc it’s on someone they like and spread that. Like idk I feel like until everyone can be honest and humble nobody’s getting anywhere
#I lost my point at the end damn#guess I’m just bringing it to ppls attention#ig Im very against ‘this chunk of ppl are exactly like this’ which is why I overly specify#guys if I’m talking about someone I promise I just say exactly what i mean#when I say ppl who voted with XYZ in mind that’s exactly who I’m talking about there’s no strays to be caught#anyways I’m thinking of this bc I’m seeing so many ppl saying vile things about Palestine and saying ‘well this is what you wanted’#like no and that attitude is part of what lost that election bfr#this is what I meant yesterday by terrible timing#bc black women are rightfully exhausted and saying we’re not showing up for everyone else.#and it’s just masking a complicity in a genocide some of you already has#Some of you ALREADY said fuck Palestine so pretending it’s bc Harris lost is so#like I’m sorry this is still about that tori girl#not even her the fanbase she curated#of ppl who genuinely think democracy would save us Harris had our best interests at heart and that genocide is smth to breeze over#and that Maya girl is a weirdo too don’t get me wrong#like it’s that thing where they’re both dead wrong but one person was a biiit more wrong than the other#that didn’t make the other person right at alll#And that Madeline person#I unfollowed bc despite what they were saying#some of which I agreed with#a lot of the FANS got racist fast#guys deleting comments is an option stop letting ur fans be bigots and pretending you can’t control it#y know it’s follow the leader delete the first signs of racism and they can’t fuel eachother hello#anyways that’s a collection of thoughts on ppl ig my point is.#genocide is bad and the way ppl react to that along with other circumstances and factors is never gonna be palatable#especially to ppl calling a politican auntie and BIG SIS GENERAL#fucking crazy btw that last one#and also a lot of ppl were desperate to see a black woman take care of everything so they ignored any flaw she and her campaign had#when these flaws were huge contributors to the loss#and also. with the big ass gap atp I think it is kind of useless to argue amongst ourselves

Sometimes I think people need to take a step back from arguing about Israel and Palestine all day and realize that there are much larger scale problems in the world. Everyone's become so focused one issue that they're willing to ignore and belittle the suffering of everyone else.
#I don't like to compare tradgedies#the suffering in Palestine and Israel is bad full stop#but it is so frustrating for people to condemn one relatively small conflict and act like every other atrocity they allow is worth it#people will dedicate their whole beings to fighting over 22k sq km and say 'oh well' to everyone else#The pro-human pro-peace idea has become centered around one conflict and it's exhausting#there are 3 times the amount of women being abused under the islamic regime than there are people in Israel and Palestine combined#but they don't get a single thought#there are 5 times the amount of people displaced in Sudan than there are people in all of Gaza it's the largest humanitarian crises#but they get maybe a single sentence#there are more uyghurs kazakhs uzbeks and muslims detained in internment camps in china than there are people in Gaza#but I guess that's too far away#25 million women in the US have lost their access to abortion and reproductive healthcare#but sure you should vote based on palestine and not the safety of 11 times more people#is it really even about saving lives if you are willing to ignore the pain of 100x more people just because you're obsessed with one war?#vera talks

Yeah trying really hard not to spit an Israeli right between eyebrows rn
#She asked if she could use the bench me and my mom were sitting on#Said sure#After 5 minutes she asks us where we're from#Proceeds to say she is from israel without gettung asked and then has the audacity to show me a billboard her rich genocidal people#Put up in my city about the 'bringthemhome'#And talk to me about it#I dont know you want them back of course how about the milions of people that want their land back???#And the people that want their dear ones back from death for tens of years????#The propaganda the sick need to play the victim to everyone they make me sickkkkkkkk#Free palestine#Now and forever#Really tempting to but out a brazilian guy at the Olympics

#i needed to share my disgust and anger at people i personally know#i have a now ex friend i've known for 7 years turn into a full zionist denying the genocide#my instagram story views have dropped from 50 to 10 since i started sharing about palestine#of the people i personally know that i follow on instagram only 2 people also share and shout - my sister who has been very vocal#about palestine for years and a german friend who overcame decades of german miseducation to educate himself#everyone else? nothing. not a single word.#no wait i'm fogetting my other french jewish acquaintance who's still saying 'we should cry for both israel and gaza' - sorry no#i'm so mad at the dozens of people that i call my friends who are not saying a thing not sharing a thing#and also not even asking me how i am. maybe it's selfish. but the only texts i receive are my phone network texts#(apart from my immediate family of course but i am talking about friends here)#(okay i went too fast - there's also my black american friend and my queer texan friend too - love you t and a)#anyway. this is just me ranting and venting out my anger and heartbreak and disappointment in my friends#not tagging this

i hate all these rich privileged trans dudes online who have access to everything that people die waiting years and years for and they literally never use their massive platform (that they only have because they’re white and skinny) to actually do any kind of good
#this is about ezra butler <3#i used to follow him and i liked his posts#but. nah i really do not like him now#he was already on thin ice for managing to get t AND top surgery all in the space of a few months#and like. he got it all as soon as he decided he wanted it#and he never acknowledges that privilege or the fact not everyone has that#these people always act like they talk for all trans people too#when it’s like you’re so fucking rich. you don’t speak for us#you have fully medically transitioned in the space of months and you’re younger than me#like you don’t speak for me go back to using useless filters as a substitute for talking about palestine

As much as one can draw comparisons to the Jewish Holocaust to what israel is doing to Palestinians, i still dont think its right to compare jews to nazis
Its wrong on many levels, from factually wrong, to morally wrong.
not only is it wrong in the way that israel doesnt speak for all jews, so if you were to make a comparison you would refer to israel as the nazis, not jews.
but overall calling the oppressed by the title of their oppressors in the way of 'jews are acting like nazis' doesnt get anything done. among other things
israel is fascist, israel is colonialist, israel is commiting genocide, israel is islamophobic, israel is antisimetic (in the common use of the term that refers to only jews). israel white supremacy. these all true statements
but jews are being the nazis is not. and not only does nothing to help anyone but hits at every jew, both palestinian-hating zionist israeli jews and every other jew
all its showing when you compare jews to nazis is that you dont understand the situation, the nuance, the history. you are using your anger to be antisimetic
what you can say instead is that israel is being islamophobic and commiting genocide. israel is terroising people. israel is occupying stolen land. israel is practicing white supremacy. israel is a fascist state, and brainwashes its citizens to subscribe to its fascist ideas.
Dont let whats happening make you hateful towards the wrong people, and dont makenit lose your ability to understand the complexity that is the israeli citizens upbringing
meaning, regadless of how we emotionally feel first about zionist israeli jews, logically we should recognize that there are ex-zionist israeli jews and that is worth something. that is worth pursing and fighting for, just like for ex-fascists of any kind
this does not mean forgive nor forget. this does not mean you cant feel anger or even hate
it means that you need to recognize what is actually important to focus on. learn nuance, learn complexity. learn to stop and pick apart what youre seeing and hearing and above all else lead with your love of Palestine and Palestinian people and remember that you should also love Jews
Because this is not Jews. Jews are not Nazis. Nazis are Nazis. Israel is not Nazis and Israel is not Jews.
And if you cant tell the difference and this just seems like im being redundant, then idk what to tell you. If youre not willing to consider you may be wrong about something like this and would rather die on the hill that jews are being nazis and that that is an accurate and appropriate comparison, a comparison that is so necessary that you need to say it outloud, then maybe youre more reactionary then you might realize.
#FreePalestine if it wasnt clear
#palestine#tbh i cant say this applies to any Palestinian especially those in palestine rn bc i cant say that if i was in that scenario or my people#were being eradicated idk id id have time to focus on this#what i mean is this is towards everyone else who has no stake in this other than being against genocide and oppression#we who have the ability and time and comfort to regulate the emotions and figure that shit out#if that makes sense#like ive seen palestinians who have been antisimetic talking about thr holocaust and as wrong as that is and#as much as i absolutely dont agree and hate that#and i do combat it with civility#i cant help but recognize and understand why they said that. its antisimetic and its bigotry#but its understandable from their shoes. not understandable as a concept just as a situational response#so this post doesnt apply to anyone who fits that. it fits us who can turn off all the horror and go and do something else#who have time to reflect and think and consider and learn#also when i say jewish holocaust im saying like the part of the holocaust that targeted jews and how israel paints it#as the jewish holocaust. if that makes sense. i know the holocaust affected different ppl other than jews

I saw a dumbfuck post about how the only realistic options are that Palestinians or Israelis commit total genocide (what's going on now stupid?), they keep fighting until another country takes over and treats them both badly, or ~both sides forgive each other~ and how the last one is the only good option, and I wanna break that down but like. Lemme just say realistically immediately after the creation of a Palestinian state what will probably happen is 1) many Israelis will leave because they won't want to live in a state where Palestinians have nominally equal rights, and many of them have been indoctrinated to believe Palestinians are rabid 2) many of the Israelis who do stay will still hold economic privileges over many Palestinians and will as such hold sway in the government alongside Palestinians that have managed to build wealth and the popular resistance leaders that survive to see a Palestinian state
#cipher talk#This is based on what's happened in Algeria and South Africa#Rwanda is also an example to keep in mind regarding 'oh everyone just forgives each other'. Rwanda is currently bombing DRC#Many Israeli politicians have made it clear they have expansionist desires and view Egypt and Lebanon and etc as targets#They have been bombing Lebanon. For decades#I don't think this state of affairs will stay- for things i wouldn't be surprised if a reparations program was instituted in#A free Palestine- there'd certainly be judicial cases about stolen property and homes which would cut into settler equity#Though many Palestine homes simply. Sit unoccupied because the point was depopulation in some cases#It's such a whack take too because many militants have talked about just wanting normal lives#The idea of continuing fighting just to commit genocide against Israelis is not only a distraction from the actual genocide#For many of them it's NONSENSE. Why would they want that when they could just be people again?#During the Al Asqa flood op which regained some territory... not many Israelis died in light of this idea. Because that's not the point#Currently Israel claims 1139 deaths from that operation#And has been revising it down and down. Before now they claimed 1200. Before that they claimed 1400.#As of now they claim 1400 total since October and the Palestinian death count is around 30000 that we know of#Again. There's an actual genocide going on and it's not against Israelis

hate tumblr's hatred for tiktok because why haven't I heard a thing about their digitine block party movement on here
not that I've been looking to see if anyone's talked about it, but I shouldn't have to look lol, it should be everywhere because it's incredible
some no talent rich woman quoted "let them eat cake" at the met gala and said it was the best day ever when it was the day isreal started attacking rafah
so everyone was like, well the last time a rumor started that someone said that she got guillotined... and you ACTUALLY said it...
so now everyone's unfollowing and blocking any well known person who hasn't spoken up in the eight months since october and who definitely have the money and/or influence to make a significant difference, including EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. who went to the met gala
and it's working lmao
#and their coverage of eurovision has been astounding#i haven't seen anything here which leads me to believe everyone took the boycott eurovision thing to seriously#but the pro palestine stuff going on there is important to talk about#I'm not usually someone who talks about these things#i leave it up to others and reblog it because I'm anxious and not good at it#but fuck!!! i want people to talk about it!!!#free palestine#anti celebrity culture#tiktok
