#stand with palestine on the right side of history

Follow challenge🥰🖤🤍💚

i've been feeling incredible anger and frustration lately with these posts lamenting what the next four years will look like in the u.s., how much "worse" things will get under the trump administration, as if we haven't been witnessing a holocaust for the past year funded by the biden administration. if you have seen a single video from gaza, a single picture, read a feature from a gazan journalist, spoken to a single person in your inbox when they plead for your attention and help, words like "worse" or "better" turn to ash in your mouth. just yesterday my friend hilda texted me that even when her family manages to get food, smoke from the fire needed to cook aggravates her sinus allergies, making it difficult to breathe. this is how she's been living for the past year and a month, under a democrat-funded genocide.

below is a small fraction of the palestinians who have reached out to me for help with their campaigns. it is a huge source of shame to me that i can't keep up with all of the people in my inbox. please go to their accounts and read their stories. and please give what you can spare.

wrong side won the cold war and we have failed every human being in the global south in the following years, the fact that whats happening in palestine is going to continue no matter what…. it is such a monumental failure of the world. the fact that repression in tigray, in the amazon, in ukraine, armenia.. all going to have to suffer to keep the wheel of capital turning, to make a dozen of men richer… it makes me sick to think about. the ecological toll of neo-colonialism is currently unthinkable, i cant stand to dwell on how many creatures will be erased from history for oil, for minerals, for corporate expansion, and i think about how much suffering it will take to avoid annihilation and i really cant imagine how much of this weight will be on the smallest lives.. with no chance of support…

if capital has decided against it you cant live your small life, no matter how insular or anemic, right now, as we speak and breathe, people with literally NOTHING are being displaced for resource extraction. people who take up no space, who own no belongings, who take no food, who have no constant home… THAT is the life that is too much! THAT is what capitalists cant abide. how do you fight in self defence against refugees? who fights a 'defensive war' with bulldozers???? i have seen too many people reduced to pools of gore, collected in black bags to stomach politics inside this country and i hope the meekest and most furtive lives on this planet get revenge 10 thousand times over. i think everyone living here in these days should live in immense shame.

This week, the Associated Press reported rather matter of factly that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is examining a plan to seal off humanitarian aid to northern Gaza in an attempt to starve out Hamas militants, a plan that, if implemented, could trap without food or water hundreds of thousands of Palestinians unwilling or unable to leave their homes.”

Any Palestinians remaining in northern Gaza – a large area including Gaza City – “would be considered combatants – meaning military regulations would allow troops to kill them – and denied food, water, medicine and fuel.”

But that intensified genocide-by-starvation plan is already well underway. On Saturday, the United Nations World Food Programme said that no food aid has entered northern Gaza since 1 October.

“People have run out of ways to cope, food systems have collapsed, and the risk of famine is real,” Antoine Renard, WFP country director for Palestine, said.

In reality, Palestinians in northern Gaza, particularly children, have been starving to death for months as the direct result of Israel’s declared policy of cutting off all life-sustaining supplies to the territory.

Yet while Israel is open about its intentions, it could not carry out this mass-murder by starvation without the aid and support of the United States – which still purports to be working towards getting more aid into Gaza.

Following the news brief from Nora Barrows-Friedman, we’ll speak about the situation with Laila Al-Arian.

An Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist, Laila is executive producer of Al Jazeera’s flagship documentary series Fault Lines. A recent episode, “Starving Gaza,” documents how the United States government has been knowingly covering up for Israel as it deliberately starves Palestinians to death. You can watch it here: • How Israel’s man-made ...

This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada's day 376 livestream. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer and Asa Winstanley were joined by EI contributor Abubaker Abed live from the Gaza Strip, and award winning journalist Laila Al-Arian. You can watch the entire broadcast here:

Hi friends, I am learning this morning that Joost Klein and the Netherlands as a whole may be disqualified from Eurovision. Why is that, you ask? Well, our lovely Dutch gabber chose to do a little heckling during the press conference, shouting"Why not?" After the Israeli press rep told Eden Golan that she didn't have to answer a question regarding why she felt comfortable performing the show when it put others in danger. He also would actively cover his head with a flag during her speaking portions. As well, he explicitly asked for the Isreali team to not record him during some of their video filming. They did anyway. That takes us to today, where, from down the grapevine I hear that comments were made by the Israeli team regarding Joost's deceased father of whom his song is dedicated to, and he retaliated full force. Not sure what this means, or what will happen to him, but I support him in standing up to Isreal on what is at present one of the largest Israeli stages.

My animation skills are subpar, to say the least, but I wanted to try this idea out. Probably not very original, but I'm happy with it ❤️ 🇵🇸

A reminder to my fellow Swifties:

Taylor attending a comedy show presented by an activist and collaborating with an artist who is an activist does NOT mean that Taylor is an activist.

Please stop praising her for the work of other artists. If she wanted to, she could use her huge platform to engage with important issues. Instead, she chooses not to.

BOOST PLEASE

The ongoing, unjust censorship and suppression of Palestinian voices is so alarming and evil. STAND WITH THEM, AMPLIFY THEIR WORDS AND DONATE.

THOSE OF US LIVING THROUGH THE MOST DOCUMENTED GENOCIDE IN HISTORY, THOSE OF US WHOSE TAX DOLLARS HAVE DIRECTLY FUNDED THESE UNFATHOMABLE MASSACRES, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO HELP IMMEDIATELY AND CONSISTENTLY.

Dear friends,

I have been banned again due to reports from the Israelis 😢 , as if the entire world has abandoned us, and we find no one to stand by us. Even the place that used to give us hope and support has been closed. I ask you to continue standing by my side and following me.🙏

SquidgeWorld refusing to even talk about Palestine and other genocides happening because "this a fandom space" is wild and severely disappointing

[biblicalhorror]

The most frustrating part of engaging in any of this discourse with pro-Israel people is that they claim there's just something ineffable about "seeing and understanding" how supporting Palestinian liberation is directly calling for the eradication of Jewish people (as if that type of rhetoric isn't exactly how actual antisemitism often manifests in online spaces but that's a topic for another day)

They get through people debunking the "the land belongs to the people of Israel anyway" argument and the "LGBTQ Palestinians are safe in Israel" argument and the "Genocide isn't what's happening here so you should educate yourself" argument and when all of those points are meticulously disproven over and over they still stand with "Well, myself and your Jewish friends see the hate you have in your heart for us" and it truly doesn't matter what you say at that point because even if you yourself are Jewish they will claim that refusing to support the state, government and military of Israel is inherently hateful and bigoted, as if a religious ethnostate is some inherent human right that is being taken away from them. I know many of them are blinded by the relentless propaganda that's been around their whole lives and how hard it is to break free from a belief system that is so tied to your core identity as a human being but it is so frustrating watching people being led straight to the point over and over again and just turning around and refusing to see it.

It's also so frustrating to see people using the momentum of this movement to casually tack on actual antisemitism to these discussions, as if having Jewish people in positions of power is why the US bends over backwards to excuse the actions of Israel and not, yknow, the fact that our government directly benefits from having a military stronghold in the middle east. I've talked to some well-meaning pro-Palestine friends irl who casually use antisemetic talking points because they've ALSO bought into the narrative that Israeli = Jewish and so they blame the actions of Israel and the IDF on Jewish people's "religious values" and ignore the fact that this conflict really has almost nothing to do with religion itself and everything to do with capitalism, imperialism and maintaining the US's status as a so-called "global power".

Hard agree.

Fuck the “both sides” crowd, especially in one of the most frightening elections in American history. I stand with Palestine but enough high horse bullshit! There are so many groups of people that depend on a Harris victory, and invalidating their existence is sickening. No form of activism should EVER erase the suffering of others. It is NEVER excusable. People who promote Palestine but demonize vulnerable poc, women, lgbtq+, disabled peoples for being worried about their livelihoods should be fucking ashamed of themselves. Any time I see “both sides bad”, do you want to know what they are saying?

-They don’t care about the lives of black and brown individuals

-They don’t care about women/afab people

-They don’t care about lgbtq+ individuals

-They don’t care about people who are disabled

-They don’t care about Ukrainians who are also facing genocide and having their land stolen

Once again, I condemn Israel’s war crimes, but for the love of God have some fucking empathy for others! I don’t want to see people deported, people die from pregnancy complications, people be discriminated against because their protections have been stripped away.

To the third party voters, we support Palestine, and we want Israel to end its violence. Harris is more likely to listen than Trump. And reminder that so far, the third parties have received ZERO electoral votes. It is literally between Trump and Harris.

Do you, third party voters, support us? Do you support the rights of those less fortunate in America? Do their lives matter?

Bigots will be blocked. DNI if you are a racist, sexist, homophobe/transphobe, ableist, etc.

Uh.. guys we're getting our asses kicked, go fucking vote

I don't usually use this blog for other than what's it intended for but;

Beware guys, FB/Meta seems to be more actively shadow banning users that support 🍉 and also profiling users while at it.

My FB profile just got locked just moments ago. I was just sharing a GoFund link to an FB group that support 🍉 and suddenly, FB said that I am not allowed to share anything to any FB group anymore...?

Like, I don't even post on FB every day, just about and lurking around.

Then again suddenly after seconds, my profile is locked, and it said that someone is actively trying to hack into my account. I already have the 2-authentication thing set up tho 🙄😮‍💨

Afterwards, it said to retrieve my account, I need to submit a pic of my ID that should at least have the same name as my profile name and at least the same birthday date as on my profile too. Which I did submit the pic, but I guess since my profile name is not my real name and my profile pic on my ID is blurry (thanks to the gov budget camera lol), they further reply through email with this (which really confirms that they really are have been profiling users):

This is actually already my 2nd account, they did a similar thing to my 1st account, which was making users confirm their real names. If you failed to do so, the profile name will be change to your real name and can't ever again be changed. (This may be old school, but it's not actually safe to reveal and use your real name online.)

I guess from that point on, where they make users confirmed their real names, they were already starting profiling users.

I guess with this, I no longer want to make another account coz this is already too inconvenient since it's already my second account.

Oh yeah, don't forget to keep boycotting/cancelling and keep doing the blockout on all platforms guys 🤗 Please don't also forget to keep signing those petitions 💖🍉 TQSM 🙇🏻‍♀️💖

one of the little boys in the video is five years old. FIVE. he lost his home, he has nothing to drink or eat. he lives in constant fear and he doesn’t even understand why.

he doesn’t know why these atrocities are happening to them, why they had to leave their home. he could lose his family at any given time or even worse he could die too. he’s talking about experiencing panic attacks, which he doesn’t understand either.

at the age of five, this child is having panic attacks, because of the constant fear and terror he has to live in. he should be going to school, playing with his friends and dreaming about his life and future. but that was violently taken away from him, by a settler colonialist ethnostate.

what Israel is doing has to stop, it’s a violation of international law and a crime against humanity. this is the culmination of decades long oppression and ethnic cleansing. this is not a conflict or a war. this is a genocide.

we have to stop this, we cannot sit by and watch the western powers fund and enable a genocide of innocent people. never again should apply to every other group of people on this planet.

speak up for Palestine, use your voice, when they can’t use theirs, sign petitions, go to protests and share information. contact your local representatives and demand a ceasefire. show that you care, because the world is watching, history is watching. let’s stand on the side of compassion and humanity.

from the river to the sea.

Hey look at all these abusive little shits in the notes. I never would have believed how many people would be so enthusiastic to act like nazis in public. Let's remember to report their terms of service violations and block them.

🛑MAKE A GOOD MEMORY, IF YOU IGNORE MY WORDS, YOU WILL KILL MY FAMILY

I accept death in Gaza, I lost the one who made me cling to this life, but I cannot bear to lose my father, brothers and sisters. I just want to tell you that it has been six and a half months since I opened the donation campaign for my family, and during this period we have lost many new family members, from my father being arrested by the Zionists and tortured, to my brother Mohammed being shot by a sniper, to our displacement to the south. I have been appealing to you for more than six months, asking you all to get me and my family out of the war zone. I cannot imagine Lulu’s future here after she lost her father in the bombing of our house and became an orphan suffering from fractures and malnutrition. I ask you all to unite together to help me achieve the goal. I am too shy to ask, but I trust you. Please do not leave me alone. Every dollar will be used to save my family.

Please donate or reblog this post.

i remember being in highschool and my world studies teacher told us to make a peace plan for Israel and Palestine as a little thought experiment.

i remember feeling so outraged and disgusted, so hopeless for them. this was when their biggest and most frequent problems were checkpoints and border checks, restricted zones. I remember making a presentation about how it should be a one-state solution; PURELY palestine. how what Israel is doing is wrong.

this was not even four years ago.

now kids are not shown Palestine's side, and if they do talk about it or know about it, they get kicked out of school and get in detention. they get arrested. they get maced and shot at.
