We have been asked to strike during these days by the lovely & hardworking journalist Bisan from Gaza. Let's all try our best for a people being tested with the harshest conditions imaginable. The occupation must be held accountable.
We're in this together!!
This will be using the UN's ten stages of genocide map (as seen above) as a base for each stage.
So far, palestine is within its ninth stage of genocide.
*although I do not believe isreal is a real or valid country, this will be referring to its citizens as "isrealis"
This stage is about us and them narratives. In the Holocaust it was Jewish vs Germans, in this it is Palestinians vs israelis.
The ‘us vs them’ narrative has been drilled into young "isreali's" minds for decades and has only gotten worse.
I do not believe there are any symbols to tell an isreali apart from a Palestinian person.
Most of the time it is based off their religion, however not all Palestinians are Muslim nor are all isrealis Jewish.
Instead of symbols, they segregate.
This stage is about taking things away from their target group. isreal has taken away their housing, their land, and their property as seen in the west bank.
Dehumanisation refers to distancing the target group from humans, and making people less inclined to empathize with them.
Isreal refers to Palestinians as both animals and derogatory words such as "whores" or "monsters."
This stage is about planning the genocide, and training.
Many isreali students are taught in order for them to grow up and become IDF soldiers. They are taught how to kill without remorse and enjoy it.
Polarisation is about the media and spreading hate about their target group in media.
The IDF not only go on international TV and talk about palestinian "terrorists" but also spread misinfo on social media.
(see this post)
When preparing perpetrators use code words in order to make their intentions seem brighter.
Isreal calls it "land disputes" or "self defense" when it is a genocide fueled by colonialist ideologies.
Persecution is about rounding up their target group and committing mass killings.
Isreal has rounded Palestinians up into Gaza, an open air prison, and continues to bomb their homes, shelters, and hospitals.
There is nowhere for palestinians to go.
This is the stage we are on. Isreal is destroying hospitals, relief centers, communities, and families.
They are attempting to find and kill every palestinian. Class of 2024 has been canceled due to all students dying.
This cannot continue.
If we continue to let isreal kill off Palestine, we will get here. To the point where zionists will deny the genocide entirely.
SPEAK UP. DO NOT LET IT COME TO THIS.
Thank you for reading. The original post can be found under the Twitter/X account @aligaytor_. OP has given me permission to share it to Tumblr.
They are carpet bombing Rafah. The over 1.4 million Palestinians in Rafah are being targeted at what is now 4 in the morning for them. They are posting their goodbyes.
melissa barrera (the actress who got fired from the scream franchise for being pro palestine) has started a fundraiser with unrwa!
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?
* news was originally shared by Ramy Abdul, chairman of Euromed Human Rights Monitor
it is also not the first time Israel has targeted water tanks . this is how some Palestinians in Gaza get water supplies since the IDF threatens to shoot them.
Important thing to remember: the only reason the number of deaths in Palestine are going down is because there isn't enough people to kill.
Read that again.
The genocide is still happening. The cruelty and inhumanity is still happening.
It is time we stop treating them as such.
