Vetted Fundraisers

hey reminder to continue boycotting eurovision and instead turn your eyes on gaza where the last media outlet al jazeera has just been shut down so that Israel can launch its attack on the most densely populated area in the world without scrutiny. Dont stop talking about Palestine

"Absolutely bizarre. The media is complicit. I'm seeing less and less about Gaza in my feed - it's flooded with Met Gala content." from Rosy Pirani, 06/May/2024:

Rapper Macklemore is releasing a track called “Hind’s Hall”, speaking out on the genocide of Palestinians, and the United States complacency in this ongoing violence. Macklemore has stated that once the track drops on streaming, all proceeds from streams will be going directly to UNRWA— the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East.

The new tracks namesake Hind’s Hall echoes the honours that Columbia University encampment protestors bestowed the Morningside Heights campus’ Hamilton Hall— in memory of Hind Rajab, the 6 year old Palestinian girl in Gaza who was shot by Israeli soldiers after being trapped inside a vehicle, with her dead family. She had begged to be rescued as tanks closed in on her.

Macklemore using his platform to vehemently speak out against genocide, the Israeli occupation and United States-led violence is what every single artist should be doing right now. The power of art should not be underestimated. Macklemore started out in the Hip-Hop scene within communist circles, namely working alongside Blue Scholars, and has never neglected his Leftism through out his career: the artist has spoken on issues regarding mental health, addiction, racial profiling and police violence, Capitalism, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights and toxicity of American culture.

“The Nakba never ended, the colonizer lied” Hind’s Hall, Macklemore, 2024

My opinion is that Macklemore and Kendrick are two different situations. Kendrick’s drop is important because it’s exposing genuine issues within the music industry and exposing a literal predator, womaniser, and someone who has essentially been shitting on the history of hip hop and rap ever since he started his music career.

Macklemore’s drop is important because not only does it call out the IDF and America’s complicity in Israel’s genocide on a huge platform, but all the streaming proceeds actually go to helping Palestine.

What isn’t important is Drake. That’s why Macklemore only shouted out how he isn’t interested in Drake’s response, and doesn’t mention Kendrick at all, because no one should give a shit about what that whiny little bitch has to say and waste time waiting for the response.

But overall, the main takeaway from all of this, including Macklemore’s song, is that you shouldn’t let the actual drama distract you from talking about and supporting Palestine. Kendrick has won the “beef”. We all know that he has, and we need to respect what he did as a legitimate moment in history for the hip hop scene and for the music industry as a whole. That’s why I think viewing it as just “beef” is stupid anyway. Kendrick fucking executed that guy and now Drake should fall out of relevancy for good. I don’t give a shit about Drake’s response either. This isn’t celebrity drama, this was a hip hop legend cleaning up the scene for us.

Meanwhile, we should also be streaming Macklemore’s song because it sends all its funds to the UNRWA, and funding the Palestine relief effort is important as fuck right now. You can have whatever opinion you want on Macklemore himself, but streaming that song will help Palestine.

Basically, the Macklemore song and the Kendrick songs are important for different reasons, and they should be treated as such and not pitted against each other. Even Macklemore’s not pitting them against each other if you actually read his lyrics.

Don’t stop talking about Palestine. Don’t let celebrity drama distract you. Fuck whatever Drake has to say, and stream both Hind’s Hall and Kendrick’s diss tracks.

I really don’t like Travice Kelce’s response to Harrison Butker’s misogynistic speech. Like I know he briefly said that he doesn’t agree with Harrison, but it was so unnecessary to go on about how nice of a guy he is and then go on some bullshit spiel about “respecting different views”. Like yeah man I’m sure he is nice to you because you’re a MAN ! And I’m sure it’s easy for you to look past his misogynistic views because you’re a MAN ! Travis was given an opportunity here to call out toxic male behaviour and hold Harrison accountable and he chose complacency. The most frustrating part is that Harrison is not going to listen to the thousands of women who have expressed hurt and offence over his speech because he doesn’t respect us enough to, but he might have listened to Travis because, once again, HE’S ! A ! MAN ! Honestly really disappointed

not any previous anon but thank you for sharing that you support Palestine. Idk why there are so many zionists roaming the anti ts tag. I blocked jewishbarbies after she said something about how Jewish Voices for Peace were not speaking in the interest of Jewish people. I mean, JVP is Jewish, and they are pro peace so idk how she came to that conclusion 🙄

I feel like there is no other appropriate stance than to stand with Palestine. Anyone else cosigns genocide. I blocked jewishbarbies way back in October when she called it the “israel hamas conflict” which is 🚩 and steadily blocked any blogs since who continued to interact with her/other zionists in the tag. I can’t believe there’s a huge zionist presence in this tag because it feels so RANDOM.

Also jewishbarbies saying JVP aren’t a real Jewish organization goes to show how zionists delegitimize Jews who condemn the illegal settler colony that is Israel. I’m so lucky and happy I have so many jewish friends who stand in solidarity with and actively participate in Pro-Palestine actions because they know that Israel doesn’t represent Judaism.

Anyways. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free 🇵🇸

Welp, if JK Rowling being executive producer and therefore being fully involved in the show wasn't enough for people to boycott, then here's HBO basically saying they don't care JK Rowling is a bigot from hell who literally helped lead a harassment campaign of lies against Imane Khalif in her transphobia and obsession with women being terf's standards of women alongside posting harassment against trans people on twitter at times, they gonna stand by her, while using the excuse, "personal views". Hmm, yes, personal views- that's one way to uh, call what the fuck JK Rowling comes out with a-lot- last I checked personal views do come with consquiences if said out loud....a thousand times in JK's case and still counting....especially if they hurt people, but hey, if it means making another Harry Potter project to milk, just let it fucking be I guess.
