#or watching those fucking politicans try to use me and my people to shut down any attempt to protest

I cannot even begin to explain the cognitive dissonance of having grown up hearing of how my family survived the holocaust, of how life is sacred above all else and any other commandment… and then watching Israel invoke both religion and the Shoa while committing such violence and invoking the very same stuff that makes me think there's little worse?
Join protests, donate, try to make sure things can't be swept under the rug. I don't know what we can do to actually stop the genocide, but we also can't stop trying?
Donate to MAP - Medical Aid for Palestine
Or if you want a direct way to help a family, my friend Ahmed has a GFM as he's trying to afford food and winter supplies for his family. There is barely any food to be found, and if there is it's expensive, and his brother needs a waterproof tent
#idk I suck at serious art like this it feels like not enough#both to make a difference and to convey my emotions#but I'm sick to my stomach watching people try to use what I think made me believe in justive and humanity#and invoke it to try and reenact nazi Germany but maybe even worse#or watching those fucking politicans try to use me and my people to shut down any attempt to protest#shut up man... maybe we aren't part of a specific community or synagogue but I have seen HUNDREDS of Jews march and protest#don't let them think all jews are zionist#my art#palestine#i think all specific memories I can point to that influenced me#either came from a rabbi or one of my grandfathers#so even if I'm not very religious i do think my religion and culture informs how I feel and think the world should be?
