🍉🍉🍉 VERY IMPORTANT!!! 🍉🍉🍉

I know that I usually post about silly robots and my OCs, but for once, this isn't a silly fun post about my hobbies.

Palestine and Gaza are still very much under attack, and their people need our help in order to survive the malicious and hate filled violence that's claiming lives every day. It hurts to know that literal children are being torn apart and being separated from their parents, their homes for nothing. There is no reason for any of this to be happening, but since it still is, it's never too late to take action and help out. Whether it's donating to Palestinian charities to help with removing them from the hostilities being forced on their homes, or if you simply repost this post, you are helping with spreading a message and are bring us one step closer to helping these people and free them from this one sided war. It's not over until they are safe.

For those with money to spare, here are some charities to donate to in order to help out:

Every penny counts, so don't dwell on only donating so much. One dollar is better than nothing.

Slight relation: Companies that support Israel.

(I get that it's impossible to boycott everything, but even reducing the amount of money you give to these companies is spreading a message.)

Again, our society relies on most of these companies, so I'm not expecting you to just live off of air and hopes, but consider your favorite brands you like to shop from and think to yourself if it's worth the harm they are causing. Remember, at the end of the day, they only care about your money, not you.

[oc] "The Last Valkyrie"

This is a new oc of mine, Theia Chong aka Zero! she's the protagonist of my newest setting that plays heavily off the mecha genre. It takes place in an alternative future where partnered pilots in mechs fight off kaijus that were accidentally resurrected by rampant nanotechnology. Zombie cyber kaijus, what fun!

Theia used to be the pilot of a (in)famous mech known as Titanium Valkyrie (TiVal), which had a history of pilot deaths relating to the machine seemingly trying to "overcome" its user. This is because TiVal runs on an operating system that's way different than what most of the other mechs use.

Also, unlike all other mechs that are run by two pilots, TiVal is piloted by a single person.

Of course, while Theia's goal was to reclaim the mech's lost glory, she fell victim to the duel between man and machine. However, unlike past victims, she miraculously survived-- just at the cost of severe mental damage and by extension, memory loss.

The Words - The Second  Word - Part 2

The second person, a God-serving, decent, and fair-minded man, goes to a country that he considers quite excellent. Seeing a universal fes- tival, he finds joy and happiness in every corner, and a house for remem- bering God overflowing with rapture. Everyone is a loving friend, even a relative, to him. He sees the celebrations of a general discharge from duties accompanied by cries of good wishes and thanks. Hearing a drum and a band for enlisting soldiers with happy calls of “God is the All- Great” and “There is no deity but God,” he becomes happy at his own joy and that of others. He enjoys a comfortable trade and thanks God.

When he returns after some while, he meets the other man, under- stands his situation and says: “You’ve become crazy. The bad and ugly things you see come from and reflect your inner world. You imagine laughter to be weeping, and discharge from duties to be sack and pillage. Come to your senses and clean your heart, so that this inauspicious veil will be raised from your eyes and you may see the truth. This is an orderly, prosperous, and civ- ilized country with a powerful, compassionate, and just ruler. So things can- not be as you see or think.” The man comes to his senses and is full of regret: “Yes, I’ve really gone crazy because of all those intoxicants. Thank you. May God be pleased with you for rescuing me from such a hellish state.”

I might be obnoxious about my interests but none of yall even know that the tival team in high school musical (the west high knights) are based on the real west high knights in Salt Lake city (just like how the wildcats are the real school mascot of East high). AND OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST NATHAN CHEN WAS A WEST HIGH KNIGHT

"Sabra hummus is a joint venture between PepsiCo and the Strauss Group, an Israeli food company that provides financial support to the Israeli army."

"Fruits, vegetables and wines from Israel are often wrongly labelled as "Produce in Israel" when they come from stolen Palestinian land. Boycott all produce from Israel in your supermarket and demand they are removed from shelves"

"A barcode starting with 729 usually indicates a product of Israel. But this is not always reliable. The best way to tell if a product is made in Israel is to look for a "Product of Israel" label or to ask the retailer if they can guarantee a product isn't from Israel."

Strauss Group: Prominent player in Israels food industry, flagship brands such as Sabra and Max Brenner

Danone: 20% stake in Strauss Group, second largest food company. Recognized for contributions to countrys economy. Dairy products

Tivall: Israeli food company specializing in meat substitutes, has global footprint, exports Israeli products to major supermarkets like Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, and Sainsbury's. Plays a significant role in meat alternative market.

Osem: Fourth largest food company, making waves in UK with Sabra Salads and Beit Hashitah. Products include frozen meat items and ready made cakes. Gaining popularity in prominent UK markets

Nestle/Coca-Cola/Eden Springs/SodaStreams/Starbucks/McDonalds/Pepsico

I only elaborated on brands that had or may have perishable foods but I would recommend going into the links for more information and on the brands I didnt elaborate on.

Please add or fix/let me know if theres any incorrect information.

If you're going to do something similar you have to make sure the store knows you're targeting Israeli products specifically

i love how my name can be typoed in so many ways

examples:

itu (sprout)

uwu

uru

iwi

iwu

uta

kutu (spawning, like fish and frogs etc. do)

kuti (past tense of "to spawn" or casual way to say "a bullet")

udu

uda

oda

iru

itu-tival

tavil

taimen ??? (tree sapling or brown trout)

and because of all the typos and mishearings my nickname in my friend discord server at the time was Kututaimen and Kutitaimen. Then it was Homotaimen because we added Homo- to every active persons name. Now it is HomoPukaPuka because of Kanata.

(Fun fact for non-Finnish speaking people: Utu means mist and Taival means journey)

Remember not to buy any food products that say 'Israeli' or have major shares/collaboration with their government such as:

Strauss: One of Israel’s largest food companies, operating globally with various production sites. Of concern is its support for the Israeli army, particularly the Golani platoon.

Danone: Holds a 20% share in Israel’s Strauss Group and operates an R&D facility in Israel. It supplies Danone products to the Middle East and neighboring countries.

Tivall: An Israeli food company specializing in meat-substitute products, with global exports.

Osem: Israel’s fourth-largest food and beverages company, owning brands like Sabra Salads, Beit Hashitah, Of Tov, and Habait.

Nestlé: Holds a majority share (53.8%) of the Israeli food manufacturer Osem and has increased its investment in Israel over time.

Coca-Cola: Sponsors events, awards, and organizations aligned with Israel’s interests and operates in the occupied territories.

Eden Springs: Associated with the illegal occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights.

SodaStream: Manufactures home carbonating devices in the illegal Israeli settlement of Mishor Edomim in the West Bank.

Starbucks: CEO Howard Schultz is known for supporting Israel, and Starbucks has engaged in initiatives promoting Israel.

McDonald’s: A corporate partner of the Jewish United Fund and Jewish Federation, with a strong connection to Israel.

Israeli Fresh Produce: Targeting companies that operate in illegal settlements in the West Bank, such as Carmel Agrexco and Mehadrin Tnuport Export (MTEX).

See Full Israeli Product: 200+ Israeli Product List by BDS Movement

Additional Information

Some companies, previously part of the Boycott Israel Campaign, have been removed from the list due to divestment or changes in their operations. These include Disney, Sara Lee, Nokia, Arsenal FC, and Selfridges.

The Israeli product checker card is a valuable tool for informed consumer choices. Avoiding products from companies supporting Israel allows individuals to contribute to efforts addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This not only reflects concerns about their involvement but also aligns with a global movement dedicated to ending Palestinian suffering and promoting peace in the region.

I do want to say re:food appropriation, for Palestinians it is a very very very sensitive issue. I don't know a single Palestinian who doesn't react vehemently to calling food "Israeli." One, because you have to recognize that this is within a larger pattern of completely erasing Palestinian identity, and two, because food is an essential core part of culture, where historical, familial instruction should be acknowledged.

I find it incredibly.... insulting to say "well food can be exchanged between cultures and people, so what's the big idea?" and neglect the fact that even within the Levant, there is a diverse array of cooking styles. To call certain dishes "Israeli" especially within the context of how the state of Israel was established, plays into the erasure of Palestinians.

It's often necessary to attribute the food we eat to specific cultures. For example, I, a Palestinian, would never claim ownership over Macarona Bil-Bashamil, or Yalenji, because they're "Arab." That's just not how food culture works. Different cultures, different climates, different environments all contribute to the food we eat and the clothes we wear. Food in itself is political because of how heavily it is tied to a location in which things are grown and raised.

Food is what builds community. Women, young and old, pass this knowledge throughout generations. And ESPECIALLY between peasant families that grow and raise the very flora and fauna we rely on in our dishes. This is a professional sort of knowledge that we celebrate and consider incredibly important. To strip our very food of our identity is not only insulting, but negates the centuries worth of food culture we've established in favor of homogenization. So yes, it IS possible to appropriate food, especially when you do not acknowledge the centuries worth of knowledge shared.
