A Place to be Ace

but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.

telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

The humanitarian aid that Israel is currently blockading is food, water, medicine and what Palestine desperately needs is building material too so it can replace the destroyed homes, schools, hospitals, factories, power & water plants, airport. Israel regularly uses its navy to kill Palestinians attempting to fish because it doesn't want Palestinians to have the ability to leave the area or to survive in the area, either. At every turn, the Israeli regime blocks any outside help from reaching Palestinians because Zionists are attempting to exterminate indigenous people to fully possess their land and resources. The Israelis learned from the US massacring Natives for their lands & resources, from the British occupiers and Nazi middlemen who worked together to sell as much Palestinian land to rich European Jews as possible in an effort to fund the Reich and establish a European colony in the middle of of the region to be a bulwark from which Europe could launch more wars of extermination. Palestinians on their own land have no clean water, no clean air, no shelter that Israel cannot destroy, little food & medicine, and no ability to fully replace what has been lost. And almost every so-called western country gives money, weapons, and trade considerations to Israel, knowing full well what Israel has done for the past 75 years and what it wishes to do now. Personally, I think that every single person who defends Israel should be put down as the bloodthirsty fascist they are, until at last people stop defending the Israeli occupation and genocide of Palestine and the land and its people can be reunited and begin the long centuries of healing.

*lebanese journalist | could not find date of martyrdom

Today, Dr. Hani Al-Haitham, head of the Shifa Hospital's emergency department, was murdered, along with his wife, Dr. Sameera Ghifari, & their 5 children: Shireen, Tia, Sameer, Wafa & Sara.

in the short term, there are some things that help—largely done by yemen. donations to families who ask, e-sims, the field hospitals and aid trucks are some of them too. they are limited in scope but they help. but these global protests and global actions and global pressure—this is long term work. it's more about you and your coworker and your friend than it is about gaza because you and your coworkers and your friends are laying the groundwork for the global shift. it's about your politicians first then israeli airstrikes second. it's the result of decades of organizing and awareness palestinians have put in and it is facing one of the most brutal, well-funded and coordinated suppression campaigns in history. this is a slow-shifting tide and you have to be part of it without overestimating or underestimating your place in it.

i don't mean to understate this support for palestine and the urgency of doing everything possible to help gaza rn. its actually the opposite. this is all of the utmost importance.

Awe, you're "frustrated"? You're having a pity party for yourself because someone renamed your fucking couscous salad? You're feeling victimized because someone spray painted "STOP THE GENOCIDE" on a sidewalk? You're feeling sad cause your imagined first world persecutions aren't being "centered" by people trying to stop a fucking GENOCIDE?

Let us know when someone bombs off your fucking hand. Write back when your entire family are killed and your legs are amputated. Let us know when thousands of your people are being left to rot under rubble.

Until then take a cue from the MANY Jewish people standing against this madness or GO FUCK YOURSELF.
