Painful truth, war never brought about anything good. Ever

Breaks my heart

Just because we aren't seeing more posts about Palestine, doesn't mean the genocide has stopped. Let's keep Praying and speaking up for Gaza, Palestine.

I think some people don’t actually realise how serious this issue is

some things that have happened since you stopped hearing about p/alestine after the “ceasefire” was declared

1,000+ palestinians were arrested in a mass-arrest campaign designed to, and i quote, “instill fear” - including children

al-aqsa mosque and worshippers were attacked and beaten

literal children, not even teens, children, were arrested and tried in a military court (this is not new, thousands of children have faced this terrorization over the years. Isr@el is the only country in the world that tries children in military courts. 500-700 children are prosecuted each year.)

a soldier deliberately ran over a child on a bike for having a pales/tinian flag on his bike. an adult man ran over a child with his car. on purpose. the child is 12. read that again.

sheikh jarrah was blockaded, illegally

whatsapp blocked the accounts of over 100 pal/estinian journalists

silwan, another pal/estinian neighborhood like sheikh j/arrah, is being violently ethnically cleansed to make way for more settlers

Isr@el has forced social media sites to censor the hashtags “free pal/estine” and “save sheikh ja/rrah” many posts and accounts have been deleted

25 pales/tinians have been murdered by the ID/F and settlers

in Jaffa, 300 arab families are under force expulsion orders to make way for more settlers. 300 families.

suicide rates in g/aza have risen to an all-time high due to PTSD and hopelessness

Pales/tinians in G/aza still do not have access to safe drinking water, electricity, medical care, and nutrition. families are still being displaced from their homes by settler colonialism. There is still an inability to mobilize freely, pursue a career, seek an education, or gain access to decent healthcare or mental health resources. The occupation, genocide, and ethnic cleansing continues whether you see on your feed or not.

"WABI-SABI"

For every happy person,

There's one learning about grief.

For every single dreamer,

There's one struck by disbelief.

For every colorful finger,

There's one with scars on their wrist

For every valley with a rainbow

There's some town covered in mist.

Good and bad have one common purpose,

And it is to keep you invested.

Beyond your world is a mystery my friend

You only have lies manifested.

Though sweet could be summer

And sour could be rain.

There could be grieving happiness

There could be joy in pain.

But before we see it ending we shall see how it begins

Or we might just feel like human and never know what it means

Carrying the weight of remorses and let downs,

looking up to the possibilities in coarse frowns

Cherishing the the glass of water when your house could be burning to the ground

Singing the song of hope when listening how death sounds,

Putting your faith into something that might just be empty.

Living your life on pieces when you might have

plenty.

Even though we know we're gonna lose here's to keep fighting.

In a deep dark ocean of time and space threads here's to the spark igniting.
