THIS!!!!!!!!!! most of us feel like we aren't doing enough because we can't physically stop a genocide but speaking helps!! pressuring helps!! boycotting helps and protesting helps!! please don't give up on Palestinians not when the entire world has turned their backs on them

here is how YOU can help Palestine

Again the @BBCNews fails to say Israel killed Refaat Alareer, let alone the truth, which is that like Shireen Abu Akleh, he was assassinated.

Instead, they obfuscate and sanitize Israeli war crimes by removing Israel from the fact of their murder of @refaat17.

WHO killed him? This @BBCWorld headline intentionally leaves it vague.

Time and time again the @BBC and too many others intentionally advance the idea that Palestinians just die on their own in the thousands, in targeted attacks on civilians.

Absolutely devastating and infuriating updates from @myhanitizer - as the military has taken his father and brother hostage and has stripped them naked and is dragging them all through Gaza. This comes after the United States and Israel killed member after member of Hani's family. All of these things are atrocious war crimes.

@myhanitizer is a hero who has been committed to advocating and supporting the people of Gaza his entire life, and is a team member of @unrwausa. His family continues to suffer unjustly and it must stop.

Praying for his family who are martyrs from IOF airstrikes, his mama who stood over the rubble to protect her son's body from stray dogs, and his family members who have been abducted by the IOF, praying for their swift and safe return.

Praying for Hani.

“Her name is Lulu…she is scared of the loud bombing just like us.”

don't use "ftm" it's outdated and offensive. it implies that the trans person was their agab, which we never were. i was always a boy, never a girl who became a boy.

i'm 35 years old. i've been IDing as trans or something similar to trans for nearly 20 years. i was probably calling myself FTM while you were playing tag during recess, anon.

i WAS a girl. i IDed as a girl early in my life. i recognized myself as a girl, called myself a girl, lived as a girl, and was a girl. who then IDed as a man. hence, F t M.

spend more time worrying about yourself instead of strangers on the internet, anon.

sorry not sorry if this comes off as needlessly hostile, but i've been getting a lot of shit from a lot of teenage trans kids about the language i use to describe my own goddamn experience, and i'm growing real fuckin weary of it.

i have elder trans friends who call themselves transsexuals and transvestites and trannies. are you going to seriously go to a 60-year-old trans person who survived the reagan years and tell her she's not allowed to use certain language to describe herself because it might offend the delicate sensibilities of some teenager on the internet?

do yourself a favor and log off, find some real-life trans people who are over the age of 20 or 25, and spend time talking to them instead of getting all holier-than-thou at random strangers on tumblr.

i understand that mosquitoes are also necessary but. They Fucking Suck!!!!

You can read the letter here.

More money than any of us here will ever see in our lives, taken directly from our taxes, is funding death and destruction unfathomable across the ocean. Not universal healthcare, not schools, nothing good. Just death.

Keep protesting, keep up using your voice, and don't lose hope, we owe Palestine that much

Israel just bombed next to a Catholic church. During Mass. On All Saints Day. This is not and never has been an issue regarding religion. This is a genocide of ALL Palestinians. They are bombing indiscriminately under the guise of fighting terrorism, when they are the real terrorists.

this happened 7 years ago, the people were only trying to help a girl who was bleeding from a shot wound.

Watch the video yourself, you can see the people who gathered were not posing as a threat, they were only concerned about the girl. Yet an officer felt it necessary to harass a man in a wheelchair?

There is no neutrality. There is nothing complex about it once you open your eyes and realise the people of palestine have been dealing with an oppressive force for years

"We're collecting our kids in bags! In bags!" "We're finding body parts that we don't know who it belongs to"

A massacre after another, and the world is silent. This has to stop.

Felt that it’s important to share videos like this too.

As always, the Irish speak nothing but facts.

How many more innocent civilians have to be killed by Israel before you condemn that for it?

That is a genocide.

That this is a crime on all accounts.

And deserves to be punished to the full extent off the law.

Antisemitism and Islamophobia are very similar (if not the same), actually

So I was scrolling down the #palestine tag for any updates and important information, and I came across this:

And I think we need to sit down and talk about this.

I am a Muslim. I live in Indonesia, a country that is predominantly Muslim and a lot of Muslims here also support the Palestinian cause. Hell, even our government supports it by not only allowing Palestinian goods enter the country without fee, but also taking in Palestinian refugees and even acknowledging the status of Palestine as a state while not having any political ties with Israel. The topic of the Palestinian tragedy has been spoon-fed to us at schools, sermons, media, etc., so your average Indonesian would at the very least be aware of the conflict.

However, there is a glaring problem. One that I keep seeing way too often for my liking.

A lot of them are antisemitic as hell. The sermons I would hear sometimes demonize Jewish people. Antisemitic statements are openly said out loud on social media. Some are even Nazi supporters who would literally go to anime cons and COSPLAY as members of the Nazi party. This is not just an Indonesian Muslim problem, no, but this is a glaring issue within the global Islamic community as a whole. Today, this sense of antisemitism is usually rooted in general hatred towards the Israeli government and its actions against the people of Palestine, but antisemitism amongst Muslims are also rooted in certain interpretations of verses from the Qur'an and Hadith mentioning Jewish people and Judaism (particularly the Bani Israil), but in a way that is more ridiculing instead of life-threatening when compared to how antisemitism looks like in the Western world.

As someone who prefers to become a "bridge" between two sides in most cases, I find this situation to be concerning, to say the least. While, yes, it is important for us Muslims to support Palestine and fight against injustice, we must not forget that not every Jewish people support the Israeli government. A lot of them are even anti-Zionists who actively condemn Israel and even disagree with the existence of Israel as a state as it goes against their teachings. A lot of them are also Holocaust survivors or their descendants, so it is harmful to think for one second that Hitler's actions and policies were justified. It's just like saying that Netanyahu is right for his decision to destroy Palestine and commit war crime after war crime towards the Palestinians.

As Muslims, we also need to remember that Jewish people (the Yahudi) are considered ahli kitab, i.e. People Of The Book along with Christians (the Nasrani). The Islam I have come to know and love has no mentions of Allah allowing us to persecute them or anyone collectively for the actions of a few. While, yes, there are disagreements with our respective teachings I do not see that as an excuse to even use antisemitic slurs against Jewish people during a pro-Palestine rally, let alone support a man who was known for his acts of cruelty toward the Jewish community in WW2. They are still our siblings/cousins in faith, after all. Unless they have done active harm like stealing homes from civilians or celebrating the destruction of Palestine or supporting the Israeli government and the IOF or are members of the IOF, no Jewish people (and Christians, for that matter) must be harmed in our fight against Zionism.

Contemporary antisemitism is similar to (if not straight up being the exact same thing as) contemporary Islamophobia, if you think about it; due to the actions of a select few that has caused severe harm towards innocent people, an entire community has been a target of hate. Even when you have tried to call out the ones supporting such cruelties, you are still getting bombarded by hate speech. It's doubly worse if you're also simultaneously part of a marginalized group like BIPOC, LGBTQ+, etc. as you also get attacked on multiple sides. This is where we all need to self-reflect, practice empathy, and unlearn all of the antisemitism and unjustified hatred that we were exposed to.

So, do call out Zionism and Nazism when you see it. Call out the US government for funding this atrocity and others before it that had ALSO triggered the rise of Islamophobia. Call your reps. Go to the streets. Punch a fascist if you feel so inclined. Support your local businesses instead of pro-Israel companies.

But not at the cost of our Jewish siblings. Not at the cost of innocent Jewish people who may also be your allies. If you do that, you are no different from a MAGA cap-wearing Islamophobe.

That is all for now, may your watermelons taste fresh and sweet.

Salam Semangka, Penco

I blurred her face a little so you can reblog it.

This little girl was brought to the hospital after Israel bombed her house. The bombs led to several injuries and burn wounds that she permanently lost eyesight. She's talking to mohammed zaanoun but she's unaware of the fact that she lost her vision yet.

These kids are going through the unthinkable, and we also have to mention the journalists who risk their lives on the daily and yet they stay with children and comfort them. This is what Israel is targeting funded by the USA. Your tax money is being paid to cause this.

Trigger warning.

Today marks the 24th day of the genocide. Every day the bombing is worse than the one before, every night the image gets more brutal. We're seeing children injured in ways we never knew before. You have to speak up. Staying silent is siding with the oppressor, there is no neutrality in genocide.

I grew attached to these journalists who risk their lives everyday to show us the truth. This is Plestia, a journalist in gaza. This is what she said in her last video after the blackout on gaza.

Plestia's name is special. It comes from the first group of people who lived in the land of Palestine who came from the Aegean sea. They were known as the plestia tribes who lived there for 5-6 centuries. The name "plestia or flestia" later led to the name Palestine, the country we know now.

Here's her account.

Hi Lindi, thank you for using your platform to spread awareness on the crimes committed against Palestinians.

https://www.tumblr.com/tzthrowbacks/732483042729459712/i-think-its-important-to-note-that-financial?source=share

This post indicates that donations may not actually reach Gaza; but there is a way to help them by purchasing e-sims so they get reconnected to the Internet. There is also a linked guide on how to do so:

I was hoping if you could share this with your larger audience reach.

Thanks, and stay safe.

Hello anon - thank you for letting me know, I'm sorry for not looking into that further before sharing links, and thank you for bringing up the e-sims situation.

here is a twitter thread that'll teach you all how to buy e-sims for Palestinians. You might ask what's the point of this? It's to allow them more access to open communication as the blackout showed us how terrifyingly isolating it can be for them to feel so alone.

You'll also be glad to know that the wifi has been reconnected for Palestinians and coverage is up and running again, although spotty at times. Please keep palestinians in your thoughts!

I respect your opinion about the Israel-Palestine war, but you need to know that the ones that are putting the Palestine people in danger are Hamas, they are not letting people leave. They are forcing them be there.

To them risking people's lives is nothing, they want to kill and erase the Jewish population.

You need to know that the IDF lets people know where and when there will be a shoot so the people will leave the building (there's a tactic that calls knocks on the roof)

However, after the event on October 8, The IDF WILL ELIMINATE ALL THE HAMAS PEOPLE.

So instead of "free Palestine" write "free people from hamas"

No, I will not do that.

I will not write anything that takes away accountability from Israel, just as I will abhor Hamas' terrible actions. Because this was never about Hamas. Israel doesn't give two shits to differentiate whether who is a member of it or not. Never mind the fact that none of you still acknowledge that Hamas exists because of Israel in the first place. They've been doing this shit since before Hamas and they've upped the scale because they are finally given a good excuse to, or as good as it can be if you're dumb and/or heartless enough to believe them.

"the IDF lets people know where there will be a shoot so people leave the building" You mean like when they threatened the doctors of that chirstian hospital, telling the staff to abandon the injured refugees? Saying that they gave them a choice and that it's their fault for staying, despite the fact that they cannot fucking leave the damn hospital because there are people who need treatment? How considerate of them to do that before blowing them to bits. And I mean literal bits. A lot of the corpses were not intact. But what about when they gave a route that Palestinians could use to flee, promised it was safe, but still murdered them in cold blood? Such terrible manners, gosh.

You Pro-Israel pieces of shit still dont have the balls to go out of anon to say all these, by the way. Very telling.

"Palestinians deserve to die because of Hamas" 1) most of what you know about hamas is propaganda and/or totally decontextualised from the ongoing struggle of Palestinian liberation from Israel. 2) even if what you think you know about Hamas is true (it's not), no person, no community's right to live in safety is conditional on others. if you believe Palestinians deserve to be killed because of what you think you know about Hamas then by that same logic (casting judgment on a whole ethnic group by the actions of a small group), all Australians should be carpet-bombed for the actions of the Murdoch family. All Americans should be genocided because of the Trump administration - you get the point! there is no action anyone anywhere can take that justifies the genocide of their entire identity, full stop.

ABSOLUTELY NOT going to let you fuckers put the anti-gay Republican's shitty Zoopy Zorpy's Big Heckin' Scare Game movie in the no. 1 spot over Palestine.

Keep posting. Keep it trending. Don't get comfortable and don't act like things are "normal" now.

It's different this time

For both sides,

For Israel, this time they're trying to massacre everyone. A genocide in daylight

For Palestine, They’re fighting not just for survival, like they were for the last few decades, No, It's for complete liberation.

This time, It's win or win.

We, Arabs, have been raised knowing about the Palestinian cause. We sang songs and prayed for them. We didn't have hope we could liberate it anytime soon. 2004 came and gone. 2016 came and gone. 2019 came and gone..

But something is different this time. Everyone can feel it.

One bright thing I can say for sure is that it's you.

You guys,

I never could have imagined the amount of awareness and education spreading through foreign communities this quickly. Me, using Tumblr as a platform to talk about Palestine and thousands are engaging? No way.

Many Palestinians and Arabs are saying: Win the battle on the ground or not, We won. Because people know the truth now.

To everyone who wasn't raised in an environment that taught about Palestine and educated themselves and are now sharing the truth with us,

Thank you ❤️

May God reward you for this in a way better than you wish for.

Don't get bored.

Don't stop sharing.

Don't get used to the scene!

As Shreen said, "بدها طول نفس" : "It needs a long breath" (Patience and Stamina)

Today, I learned about something terrible, and I want to explain it further here or in a video, but I can't quite imagine what I read, really.

Israel has the world's largest skin bank for the treatment of burns, skin cancer, and other conditions. However, in a 2009 documentary, it was revealed that most of the skin in the bank isn't from Israelis but rather from Palestinians, taken from "unidentified" or "not subjected to forensic autopsy to determine the cause of death" martyrs.

An article emerged around the same time, in which the head of the forensic medicine institute exposed Israel for allegedly killing and harvesting organs from Palestinian individuals without their or their families' consent. Reports at that time suggested that people from Gaza and the West Bank were being arrested, and their bodies returned with missing organs. Article Link: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/dec/21/israeli-pathologists-harvested-organs

Why the Jewish people don't register themselves as donors before they pass away, for instance, and allow their organs to be taken from them after they pass away? In the Jewish faith (as well as in Islam), the body is supposed to be returned to its Creator as intact as possible. Israel is aware of this in Islam, but as we've seen, they don't seem to regard them as anything other than animals...
