I noticed something today: there's something so striking and powerful about the mundane.
Like, for example, I saw a post about Palestinian people from 2013; they were enjoying a day at the beach. You can see a father playing with his baby and there's a big crowd behind them, and they're all smiling. It reminded me of my childhood summer holidays.
And it impacted me so much more than all the traumatic pics of children bleeding out in their crying parents' arms.
Now, don't get me wrong: triggering pictures have an impact as well. But is it always a good/helpful impact? This is what happens when I see those: it terrifies me, angers me, saddens me, which is what it aims for, shock value.
But then, I stare, my heart starts racing and I get sick, and I turn off the Social Media and reflect in silence and eventually, I don't do anything because my brain would rather forget. This is selfish, this is human.
Because I can't relate to it, and what I can't relate to I can't understand. And it's so hard to do something about what you can't understand, isn't it? I mean, what kind of a person would treat a child like that? Would even think of doing something so awful, or, on the contrary, think so little about the result that in the end, they choose to do it anyway?
Then, I saw that happy, mundane picture, which is such an unusual way of sharing awareness because people assume that you will want to think about that video of a child bleeding out long enough to do something about it. Which doesn't happen because if it did, then we'd probably get results.
I'm not guilt-tripping/gas-lighting anyone, cause those posts are still important. Everyone has different reactions to everything. So keep posting those, keep sharing and reblogging those. But don't stop there.
I haven't been happy in such a long time. Summer holidays at the beach when my father was still an important part of my life? Those I can relate to. Cause they remind me that what the Israeli government is doing to Palestinian people isn't happening on another planet. They remind me that they're just like us: they had happy days and now it's all gone to shit. Except that their bad days aren't just bad days, they're Hell on Earth.
On another note: pro-Israeli should really stop treating this genocide like it's a football game, and anti-semites using the pro-Palestine "title" to "justify" their behavior/opinions.

People getting shamed for saying that they’re voting for Kamala Harris but still have criticisms of her is not it. What more do you want us to do? Eat her fucking box?
#sorry I’m just tired of people being told they’re not allowed to dislike her or that now is not the time#or that if you do it’s just because ur a chronically online leftist hung up on purity politics#like no I’m just organizing with Palestinians and seeing them react in real time to their family members being killed#and having Democratic politicians sick the police on us !!#our Democratic mayor changed an ordinance to have 5 of our organizers arrested a few months ago#Kamala ‘Most Lethal Army in the World’ Harris has stated over and over that she will not end arms for a country currently guilty of genocid#sorry I’m not trying to tap dance for the Democratic Party rn that’s my bad!!

What did taehyung do ?
basically days he posted on a instagram a photo dump to be exact and for some reason a photo of him holding mcdonalds fries was in there and everyone was like ????? wtf is this ???? especially bc idols don't post brands like that unless they are being paid or have a contract with said brand or something like that everyone was disappointed on that day... i had to witness some of my mutuals unstanning and just being sad and disappointed because i mean... it has been months, everyone has spent a lot of time trying to get bts to speak up and sharing information about the boycotts and were met with radio silence so for taehyung months later to post a photo dump with mcdonalds fries just seemed like he just doesn't gaf and i understand their side because if i was a stan i would also be done and ready to quit stanning bc it's insane and very ignorant so yeah that's what happened
#allegedly there's gonna be a bt21 collab with mcdonalds#and that's why people think he posted that#bc bts likely have a contract with mcdonalds still#from what it looks like don't quote me on that#but yeah stupid armys spent that whole day harassing palestinian fans once again#bc they were disappointed and sad and just done with bts in general#and a lot of them were just asking for an apology and for the post to be deleted#but i mean it has been days and nothing so idk#it's just all very disappointing#and i did post abt it but there was a tiktok#of a person saying#because of all of this mind you#that if taehyung supported isnotreal they would to#and it's like Okay so you are insane#I COULD GO ON#but i will end here for my sanity and yours LOL#asks#anon

there’s been many times in the last few years when army was so divided i thought we’d never recover but none of those times hold a candle to what’s going on right now. genuinely there’s no coming back from the way these anti-boycott, anti-DOING-FUCKING-ANYTHING armys have been acting
#they dont lift a finger to help but accuse pro-boycott armys of being ‘useless’ even tho bds korea literally endorses the hybe boycott#there are so many ways to support the cause by sending emails trending hashtags sharing fundraisers sharing any information at all#if it was just not wanting to boycott bts’s music i completely understand that it’s your choice and its very low on the priority list anyway#but these ppl are harassing palestinian and pro-palestinian armys. reporting their accounts. reporting their online stores. doxxing them.#starting massive hate trains against them. accusing them of being antis trying to ‘infiltrate’ ‘real’ army spaces.#when they are just palestinian/pro-palestinian armys trying to find a safe space for themselves and being continually pushed out#and it makes me fucking sick to my stomach to see what this fandom has become#how is any of this real. how do these people claim to love bts when they’re so passionately against everything bts have ever stood for#twt is the only place to get real info and updates on the boycott but im so quickly reminded of why i left twt in the first place#aeron.txt

me when im not fucking evil
#“uh theres no genocide because hamas soldiers dress up as civilians sometimes lol so all civilians killed are just probably hamas fighters”#literally kys you sick fuck#this unknowable variable is so perfect for israel defenders because it can easily be used to dismiss any deaths of palestinian innocents at#the hands of idf soldiers#not just any deaths but potentially all deaths#this post just keeps on getting more and more worse as i scroll down it. 3 paragraphs down and its literally going like#“the israeli army has given the palestinians enough time to evacuate north gaza so everybody still in north gaza must be hamas”#israel gave a million palestinians one single day to escape north gaza. roof knocking isnt an effective method of warning people. some#people just cant move for a plethora of reasons. and why should anybody have to move in the first place? surely there are less destructive#methods that israel could use to get rid of hamas or even just reduce its support? such as lift the blockade (the thing that helps#radicalize palestinians) for instance?#fuck the guy who made this. seriously. get banished to the shadowrealm indefinitely#yeah i got real mad here but i feel that my anger is very well justified#i guess im going to sleep now#palestine#post

It is always morally correct to pirate dog training resources from zionists instead of supporting them monetarily.
And by zionists I mean Leslie McDevitt specifically, but all other zionists too.
#if y'all could see that woman's deleted fb activity...#she has unapologetically spewed zionist propaganda#every mention of gaza and palestinian deaths and occupation from her comes with 'but the innocent israelis' bs#and she's agreed with comments saying that talking about palestinian death numbers minimizes the suffering and deaths of israelis#and that those kinds of posts are antisemitic#idk who needs to be told this but colonizing soldiers of an occupying army are not innocent people#who should be mourned as equal loss to innocent civilians

Gonna review all the sources I've been provided with (they're damning for the zio so rip to them but thanks for the sources lmao), and been searching through more sources from the time periods in question and, well, basically I started a thing.
(sorry for the blurriness) An overall essay going through the evidence and providing a small splash of input as someone noticing a lot of discord in said evidence, which isn't surprising but still it is telling how zionists cherry pick.
Anyway, the more I learn, the more I realise that there's a lot of political and nationalistic push to emit details in some papers, while pushing for certain conclusions based on the framing of the research for others. I think this is legitimately just unproductive when acknowledging the subjectivity of history as a study and the way certain overlap may point to a conclusion that isn't preferable by a variety of people, from researchers to the intuitions that may use or pay for the research to begin with. I find this in studies that delve into contentious topics in general. It's why it's so important to note the overlap and notice the inevitability of bias in understanding these topics.
As far as the history the Middle East goes and who colonised who, I think many disregard the simple theory that, perhaps, colonisation itself can be something inflicted by the post-colonised and equally be something done to a group with connections to conquest, ultimately making both the same in terms of land rights and the concept of legal ownership. Or, more specifically, that Zionists' attempts to become conquests have since reduced their claim, just as it would reduce a Babylonian, despite their deep links to the land and, arguably, being one of the first social groups before or at the same time as the Israelites.
History and Carbon Dating specifically become difficult to assign moral value of land rights to when cultures blossom and change in such extreme ways (to the point of being unrelated or unrecognisable with those from ancient eras) with the passing of time. The racial blame placed by Israel is thus shown to be one of mistaken vengeance and generally racial profiling of modern Arabs, just as the Persian, Turkish, Roman and British empires showed signs of racist attitudes to employ totalitarian tactics of rule over the peasantry. Being the colonised when one is willing to colonise with the same means reduces the ethical claims and, meanwhile, the history itself reflects greater nuance than political nationalists may desire of it.
Ultimately, as I search further and further, I find that the claim of nationalism and identity is a mere shared ideal of all empires formed through conquest and the desire for ownership of abundant resources. Meanwhile, I find that the idea of an ancient homeland to reclaim is obsolete when the people in question do not resemble those they wish to avenge. Culture evolves with geography and time, a constant for every country's history. Religion, culture and the concept of a homeland forms where the resources are abundant, rather than any legitimate greater or lesser claim from neighbouring tribes and civilisations. The wish of a Promised Land is a logical conclusion for any group seeking refuge from the elements; a moral argument filled with human necessity and a shared common ground if faced with an open mind and a willingness to review the past, while simultaneously moving on from it. The complexity becomes simple when it is understood that only the present can take responsibility for the present; and choose a better path than those who horde resources in the modern age of globalised colonialism.
#My thoughts so far#If anyone has anything to add or want to recommend any sources; please let me know#writing#history#essay draft#blog post#history of the middle east#ethics#culture#religion#I will elaborate more later but I will add as well that Israel has genuinely and clearly adopted German nationalism into its belief system#while the most obvious would be the “strongest army in the world” quoted from Germany by Israel#a more direct and consequential one is the usage of land back and homeland to an older ancestry to justify nationalist intent#Regardless of the truth of that claim or not it is one that is weaponised in the same way#but it honestly doesn't matter because the purpose isn't so much about the truth or the genuine pain suffered by past colonializations#but rather to serve a political power that uses a totalitarian method of conquest in the name of that ethos#it is one that is founded in European political systems and has since been used by Israel which does use the tactic of victimisation#Which is also what Germany did use to claim they had to invade#And yes similar (though not as directly copied) tactics have been used in the past; even against the ancient Israelites#The Roman Empire even coined the term that perfectly describes this tactic;#"Two things only the people anxiously desire — bread and circuses.”#A spectacle to distract from the inner political issues and inequalities has always been a tactic employed by conquests and colonisations#And yes Israel has used it as well and it results in a genuine hatred of Israel for what it has done and the methods used#So when I look back at the history of colonisation I do see a lot of patterns and a lot of the same justifications#If it weren't happening today and were a historic event I would even call it fascinating how such methods are passed down specifically-#-within and around the Asian Eurasian and European regions#It's why Israel as an existence is antithetical to land back movements and contradictory to arguments of indigenous sovereignty#All the while it being technically true they're (particularly in terms of sacred practices and culture) indigenous to this place#yet it is reduced by the fact the same colonial techniques used against them are ones they now employ and consequentially pass down#The Palestinians are indigenous because they are being colonised and no matter what claim an Israeli may have it becomes redundant

The US, on 29 February, vetoed a UN Security Council (UNSC) statement that would have condemned Israel for the mass murder of over 100 Palestinian civilians who were awaiting the delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza City. “We don’t have all the facts on the ground – that’s the problem,” US deputy ambassador to the UN Robert Wood told reporters on Thursday. He then claimed there are “contradictory reports” about the Israeli army's latest massacre and highlighted that Washington was focused on finding “some language that everyone can agree on.” Thursday's veto is the fifth time Washington has blocked a UNSC statement or ceasefire resolution that would hold Israel accountable for the atrocities it has committed in Gaza.

Since I've seen a number of people shocked about the Palestinian kids kept in Israeli prisons, here's more. I suggest you read about it more and spread the truth.
Ahmad manasra was arrested in 2015, after he was run over by Israeli soldiers and his cousin who was walking with him killed. He has been kept in solitary confinement since November 2021. He started showing signs of mental disorders as well as schizophrenia due to the torture he endured by the IOF. Read about our children who are getting tortured and abused in Israeli military prisons. They are not criminals, freedom to all of them.
Soldiers versus children, yet the world sides with soldiers! This is pre-OCT 7th! A western backed, democratically elected government with one - if not THE strongest army in the world! I am a mother my heart skips beats when I look at their faces. These could be my children or your children. These are our children! Enough! This occupation must end now! This madness must end now!

Israel “outright denied” 82 out of 91 attempts since 26 October to deliver aid to besieged areas in northern Gaza, said Georgios Petropoulos, head of the UN humanitarian office in Gaza. More attempts were unsuccessful because of “denials of specific locations or specific supplies,” he said in a statement reported by The Washington Post on 26 November.
The aid that has reached Gaza is being looted by criminal gangs, which are able to operate freely after Israel began killing members of the Gaza police attempting to secure aid deliveries earlier this year. “It is tactical, systematic, criminal looting,” Petropoulos told the BBC. [...] The BBC was told that “thefts often happen in clear sight of Israeli soldiers or surveillance drones but that the army fails to intervene. [...] Stolen goods are apparently being stored outside or in warehouses in areas under Israeli military control”.
please, support grassroots initiatives set up to ease gazan people's suffering under zionist genocide.

u forgot to mention that it seems like bts might have another mcdonalds collab again 😭 i see a lot of disappointment mainly towards hybe/bighit which is fair but it really is ridiculous how much people disregard the fact that the boys really could have at least chosen to not do or post some things if they can't even speak up. it's also so annoying how much people will call it harassment if we ask the members to speak up when every day i see people harass palestinian armys themselves
yeah i didn't mention in the answer itself i put it on the tags but yeah apparently there's a collab that's why people are speculating that that's the reason why the insane photo of the fries is even there to begin with. there's nothing wrong with holding your faves accountable and something that i've seen a lot of my armys mutuals say is that nowadays in the fandom if you try to do that you will be labelled as an anti or a hater when all they want is for them to know they were wrong and apologize. there's definitely this culture of stanning no matter what and not be critical of who you stan when they do wrong things. and i mean, this silence is not doing anything good to their reputation a lot of people outside of kpop are also seeing what has been happening and seeing how some armys have been acting to "protect" bts and even tho i am not an army it just gives me second hand embarrassment especially when land palestine posted about the fries post and people started to jump them and saying they were harassing tae and also saying it was "defamation" when he posted that himself so yeah it's a whole mess and i understand why so many fans are losing hope and are constantly disappointed
#if i was to mention everything that has been happening#i would be here for a whole day 😭#especially on the army side has been crazy#and especially the constant harassment of palestinian armys every day#they are constantly trying to accs down it's been insane#it has gotten worse and worse ever since we started the hybe boycott#i feel exhausted as we speak but i can't even begin to imagine how they feel#tris.txt

Since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza in October, Israeli soldiers have been posting what can only be described as snuff videos on social media platforms. In the videos, soldiers can be seen – often gleefully – committing war crimes against Palestinians. In one video, an Israeli soldier dressed in a dinosaur costume loads artillery shells into a tank and dances as the shells are fired in the direction of Gaza. In another video, a soldier is filmed dedicating an explosion to his two-year-old daughter for her birthday. Seconds later, a Palestinian residential building behind him is blown up. Other videos show Israeli soldiers setting alight Palestinian food supplies during a starvation campaign and mocking stripped, rounded-up and blindfolded Palestinian civilians. [...] And there is another aspect of Israeli impunity that is often overlooked: Israeli soldiers routinely admit to horrific crimes they commit against the Palestinians to clear their conscience and absolve themselves of personal responsibility but never face any accountability. Israelis themselves describe the practice as “yorim ve bochim”, which translates from Hebrew as “shooting and crying”. A favourite pastime of the Zionist left, it takes centre stage in dozens of Israeli films and documentaries. Take the widely celebrated film Tantura, named after a Palestinian fishing village that was subjected to a massacre in 1948. In this film, several Israeli veterans talk with ease about the fact that they killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians. Others openly admit to participating in ethnic cleansing, yet all are portrayed as complicated individuals who are traumatised by the trauma they inflicted on Palestinians. “Yorim ve bochim” is also epitomised in the work of the Israeli NGO Breaking the Silence. A darling of the liberal West, the organisation of Israeli army veterans tries to expose the reality of the “Occupied Territories” by providing a space to Israeli soldiers to confidentially recount their experiences in the Israeli army and at times admit to taking part in systematic abuse and destruction. The testimonies on its website make for incredibly difficult reading, particularly in this moment when we are seeing what is happening in Gaza. And yet nowhere does this organisation call for accountability or address what justice might look like for the Palestinians whom the soldiers they work with have systematically abused over decades. The reality is that over the last seven and a half decades, there has been complete impunity for brutalising and slaughtering Palestinians. The ongoing genocide in Gaza and the way in which it is being so brazenly shared on social media by the perpetrators is a manifestation of that impunity. The only way to make sure that it stops and never happens again is to hold not only those who have taken part in the genocide accountable but also those who are complicit.

it actually makes me sick to see the NFL, 49ers, and chiefs all make statements supporting Israel and calling palestinians terrorists. YOU'RE SUPPORTING THE TERRORISTS! what israel is doing is GENOCIDE. you're supporting GENOCIDE. who started the war? ISRAEL. who has a huge army? ISRAEL. who has continuously broken ceasefire? ISREAL. who is killing thousands of innocent people a day? ISRAEL. guess who doesn't have an official army and is basically defenseless? PALESTINE.
i wanted to say this again in light of recent events: i highly highly highly encourage anyone who sees this to read Edward W. Said's book After the Last Sky: Palestinian Lives (available on internet archive for free, but i recommend buying it). Said is palestinian, and in the book he talks about his childhood in palestine and the effects of being exiled from his homeland. the book is a true eye opener, and everything that Said says is still relevant today. it also includes photos, which truly emphasize the trauma and horrors the palestinian people have faced.

We are witnessing another massacre happening now
The occupation army contacted the director of Al-Shifa Hospital by sending a threatening message. The director of the hospital responded, stating that there are no resistance members in the hospital and that it is a civilian hospital providing care for the wounded and displaced.
Now, the occupation forces have cut off all communication around Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza in preparation for the ongoing massacre. A true massacre is happening at Al-Shifa Hospital - intrusion and entry of vehicles, sniper bullets targeting those present, silencing their voices from the world!
Journalist Osama Al-Kahlout commented on the situation at Al-Shifa Hospital: "The occupation army is firing directly at medical teams inside Al-Shifa Hospital, with snipers targeting doctors. There are fears of the compound being stormed."
This is the latest video we received from Al-Shifa Hospital, documenting what happened during the occupation's shelling.
It's worth noting that the hospital houses a large number of patients, including infants and newborns.
After the Pentagon's statements and its incitement against the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, we are facing extremely difficult hours. the American statement gave a green light for the terrorist army to commit massacres against innocent people, the hospital, its wounded, patients, and medical staff.
The occupation fervently attempts to portray Al-Shifa Hospital as the focal point of its war on Gaza, suggesting that the 'fall of the hospital' signifies the complete collapse of Gaza. However, this is not merely for capturing images, and then the Zionists returning to their homes; it serves two dangerous purposes:
Boosting the morale of the Zionists and Americans, implying that the occupation army is achieving successes, giving Netanyahu and his army more time in Gaza.
Pushing the Palestinian people and their supporters into despair and frustration, raising the white flag with the belief that 'everything is over with the fall of the hospital.'
We must clearly see through this game and not be deceived. Hamas has never claimed that the hospital is strategically or politically important; it has consistently stated that it is just a hospital providing essential humanitarian services. Hamas has even invited international institutions to enter the hospital and verify its nature.
The hospital holds no significance in the balance of war or the developments in military events. Do not let them exploit and demoralize you for nothing."
So always remember that regardless of the images the occupation broadcasts to justify its crimes against the Al-Shifa Hospital, keep in mind the following: there is no military activity originating from this place; it is solely a hospital. Israel and America have decided to designate it as a military target
