Displaced Children Have Been Forced To Seek Makeshift Shelter In Chicken Coops After Their Tents Succumbed

Hi everyone! This is an illustrated guide I made as part of my co-admining work at The Middle Eastern Feminist on Facebook! It will be published there shortly.  The technique that is displayed here is a genuine one used in psychology - I forgot the name and couldn’t find it again so if you know about it, feel free to tell me! Some could say: “Yes but you can use that technique for instances of harassment other than Islamophobic attacks!”, and my reply is: Sure! Please do so, it also works for other “types” of harassment of a lone person in a public space!! However I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here, as they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes - that way one cannot say they “didn’t know what to do”!  I’d like to insist on two things: 1) Do not, in any way, interact with the attacker. You must absolutely ignore them and focus entirely on the person being attacked! 2) Please make sure to always respect the wishes of the person you’re helping: whether they want you to leave quickly afterwards, or not! If you’re in a hurry escort them to a place where someone else can take over - call one of their friends, or one of yours, of if they want to, the police. It all depends on how they feel! For my fellow French-speakers: I will translate it in French and post it on my page as soon as I can :) Please don’t hesitate to share this guide as it could push a lot of people to overcome bystander syndrome!! Lots of love and stay safe! PS: I you repost this cartoon of mine on twitter or instagram, please add me in the post so I can see it, with @itsmaeril :)

Every single one of the 13,000+ children murdered by Israel was robbed of their futures

This is not Gaza! This is a house in Nour Shams camp in Tulkarm in the West Bank during the Israeli occupation forces' raid on the camp today. This genocidal war is not only against the Gaza Strip, but against all the Palestinian people and all the Palestinian land.

هذه ليست غزة! هذا منزل في مخيم نور شمس في طولكرم بالضفة الغربية خلال اقتحام قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي للمخيم اليوم. حرب الإبادة الجماعية هذه ليست ضد قطاع غزة فقط، بل ضد كل الشعب الفلسطيني وكل الأرض الفلسطينية.

Ceci n'est pas à Gaza ! C'est une maison dans le camp de Nour Shams à Tulkarem en Cisjordanie lors du raid des forces d'occupation israéliennes sur le camp aujourd'hui. Cette guerre génocidaire ne vise pas seulement la bande de Gaza, mais tout le peuple palestinien et toute la terre palestinienne.

Это не Газа! Это дом в лагере Нур-Шамс в Тулькарме на Западном Берегу во время рейда израильских оккупационных сил на лагерь. Сегодня. Эта геноцидная война нацелена не только на сектор Газа, но и на весь палестинский народ и всю палестинскую землю.

A six year old sitting there surrounded by dead family for God knows how long…

They don't want us to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide not because there's not been an official ruling but because these things don't get set in people's minds via official ruling. Instead it is the oral history that sets an event into place in mass consciousness.

Us calling it what it is - a genocide - means they can't wriggle out of it in years to come. They can't continue to call it a conflict or a war if we cement it in public consciousness as a genocide.

So don't tone down your language. Call it what it is. Make sure the history books know what happened and the genocides that took place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo.

i dont think there is a word yet that can describe how absolutely vile israel is. they killed thirsty children by targeting a water tank.

how inhumane do you have to be to support this, to fund this, to excuse this, to ignore this and pretend as if it isn’t going on?
