If you're going to do something similar you have to make sure the store knows you're targeting Israeli products specifically
trying a different approach and writing a shorter post. my friend mohamed (@ayeshjourney) vets campaigns on the ground in gaza for @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi (these campaigns are on their spreadsheet here), and also helps run the blog @/gaza-evacuation-funds.
mohamed is raising funds for his family, and his campaign is very low on donations. he does so much to help so many people, and i hope we can show him the same support and generosity. please consider donating even £5 if it is within your means, and if you cannot donate please reblog, and please follow mohamed for any updates!

if you don't think ai "art" and i use that term very loosely isn't dangerous, just remember that there are fake nudes of celebrities and there was an ai made ad running in the superbowl while Rafah was being bombed to the nines.
y'all realize that instead of using ai for good, people are using it to fabricate lies, to steal from, humiliate and dehumanise others, right? right.
so don't ever come on my blog chirping high praises about c.ai or ai generated images. not when fanfic writers and small time artists are getting less and less appreciation for their hard work while "c.ai inspired" fics and "ai generated" images are taking all the spotlight (when they really shouldn't because it's been stolen). not when writers are being put out of jobs. not when voice actors aren't being taken seriously and are also being put out of jobs. not when artists' work is being stolen and being mass produced into soulless pictures. not when a dead artist's work should be left alone but some dude put their unfinished project(s) into an ai art generator to finish their project when it, again, as i've just said, should've been left the fuck alone. not when people (regular people and celebrities alike) are having fake nudes of their pictures being put out there for the world to see without their knowledge and consent.
and especially not when governments are paying millions of dollars to make ai generated ads about "bringing dads home" while dads (and moms, sons, daughters, their pets and their plants) are being senselessly killed.
so no. i don't wanna hear shit about ai. not until we stop killing our own humanity with it and claiming that it's good.
this is sami’s little girl, born in the war, she is 3 months old and is now living under bombardment with her and her family. today, hours ago, they were forcibly displaced from the city of rafah under bombardment and fear, and their tent was burned. most of the martyrs are children and women lying on the streets. sami does not want anything to happen to his children. help by donating so we they travel to a safe country. do not forget them. think about what is happening. they are human beings like you, and they are dying.

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:
While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.
Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.
The reason the number of women and children killed by Israel tends to be higher and remains significant is due to the fact that with the ongoing displacement, families tend to move in together, making the number of people sheltering together reach 30 or 40 people at times.
With that, the men of these families tend to let women and children take shelter during the night inside apartments and houses when available, knowing they provide more relative warmth and comfort, while men tend to seek shelter for the night elsewhere, usually in tents in open areas. This means that when Israel deliberately strikes homes during the night, the inevitable consequence is that the overwhelming majority of the people killed or injured will in fact be women and children.
Israel knows this and continues to deliberately strike homes, most of the time also knowing the exact number of people sheltering inside and even their ages. Women and children are not "collateral damage", they are specific targets that Israel had long deemed eligible, starting the day these women and children were born Palestinian.
