One of our biggest hurdles for justice in Palestine is forgetfulness and indifference, which are the cornerstones of Israeli impunity.
Take a look at just the first hospital bombing since October 7, when the Al-Ahli hospital was bombed in October, and people were rightfully outraged for days. Israel then bombed a second hospital, a crime that was now just a headline. Then Israel bombed a third hospital, and now, over 20 hospitals later, this has become "what Israel does".
And I am seeing this now too, where just within one month, people went from literally screaming their lungs out on TikTok about the massacre Israel committed in a displacement camp on May 28, to yesterday, when Israel committed another massacre at another displacement camp, the third within one month, and I can visibly see the difference in response between the first time this happened (May 28) and the third time (June 21).
This has always been the plan as evidenced by Israel's founder saying "the old will die and the young will forget." But when it was clear this was not going to happen and Palestinians would not forget, the selective amnesia of the west became the basis of Israel's strategy.

also my laptop fucked up the colours, they're actually higher in contrast and way more vibrant (more orange/red-ish). it was fine everywhere else, so I hope it's just my laptop. I know that it can show up differently on different devices but I never had it this extreme??
little update #3 on my kaysanova lino cut:
[here you can find my first and second update, as well as my initial post with the sketch]
I didn’t have a lot of time to work on this recently, but I’m almost entirely done with the black layer (only the border around them needs to go) I still wanted to give an update since it’s been a while
I changed the hilt of nicky’s sword because with this bigger version I went for a more realistic look for the weapons (not realistic just more realistic) and the shape of the hilt ended up looking weird but I’m not entirely happy with it now either. idk
I should be able to print this next week but maybe I’ll also do it tomorrow?? (and yes I am aware that this project is a continuous string of I’ll-do-it-next-weeks haha but maaayyybe this time I’m right) and if I feel like it I’ll also do the coloured layers (or at least one of them)
I also already have an idea for my next big project but that one is more complicated (and time consuming) than the current one and also not within the ballpark of things I’m capable of and I also really should work on some stuff that isn’t fanart
so we’ll see if I’ll actually go ahead with it
little spock drawing bc why not
i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.
fucked up how colors look different depending on what screen you’re looking at them on. that should be illegal I think
