The Fucked Up Deer Your Mom Warned You About

Kirby's airride

"Data from the Census Bureau has suggested that bicycling and walking are much more common as a means of commute to work at lower income levels. The proportion of workers who walk or bike to work is progressively lower across income categories, up to about $100,000 per year, beyond which the prevalence is fairly stable or slightly higher at very high-income levels."

if you look through this thread, which this man made to cast doubt on the story about a man whose newborn twins were killed while he went to laminate their birth certificates, you can literally see exactly the same rhetoric people use on here:

just general accusations like "this seems fishy/his ear lobe doesn't look the same from this photo and this photo/who laminates a birth certificate in a war zone/look at how this gfm is raising money but it's based in cleveland?/the idf denies this" and he does it all with a veneer of concern trolling like he's actually just worried about the people who feel bad about this story, the exact same thing zionists here do

but this is a real story. it was reported by multiple outlets. there were eyewitnesses to the strike. there were video interviews with the father.

beyond that, his wife jumana was in contact with Heal Palestine, an american organization headed by steve sosebee (who founded the Palestine Children's Relief Fund) and had a well-followed facebook page where she documented her life, pregnancy and announced her delivery of her twins

even that wasn't enough for the zionist! "what kind of mom spends her entire day on Facebook posting and answering people?" he writes on a tweet that has 2.1k likes

this is basic, alex jones sandy-hook-esque conspiracy denialism but in israel it is extremely widespread and it's standard state policy. its also part of the structure of genocide. zionists literally utilized a US PR consultant to invent "pallywood" to cast doubt on palestinian murders caught on video in 2001 during the second intifada.

obviously (i've said this before) practice caution when you look for places to donate because there are people trying to take advantage of palestinian trauma, make sure they are vetted and reblog them from users you trust, or donate through verified aggregators like gazafunds.com if you find the process here intimidating

but practice even more caution when you uncritically reblog users who accuse all palestinians of being scammers or engage in genocide denialism. more than once i've seen these "concerned" bystanders lie about the conditions on the ground in gaza, belittle the scale of israeli atrocity, or overtly imply palestinians are inherently untrustworthy. this is not a coincidence: it's deliberate. as OP says, it's murder-by-proxy and no matter how convincing their skepticism seems, you should not take the consequences of uncritically sharing this lightly. real people are dying, under siege and starvation, and the people capable of doing that are also engaging in constant propaganda and disinformation to make it possible.

boy in bikini !!! (⁠ᵔ⁠ᴥ⁠ᵔ⁠)

Ally is going to court tomorrow. I'm sure they would rather we focus our energies on the people of Gaza at this time, so I will wish them good luck, but highlight fundraisers which have yet to meet their goal.

@fidaa-family2 extended goal due to ongoing costs [fundraiser link]

@virushasanhh Youseff Hassan, (unvetted) Fundraiser: €1,151/€25,000

@supportgaza Mahmoud Khalaf €31,973/€55,000 raised

@renadmagidnew Renad Magid €16,043/€25,000 raised

@danashehab Sahar Shehab €63,101/€85,000 raised

This is Farah's 'GoFundMe' (she's not that far off from her goal :) ) -

You can clips of the situation people are facing in Ghazza that she's uploaded onto her Instagram handle - farah.n.ammar.

The entity delights in taking away these people's limbs, sight and dignity - the football players, the journalists, just every day humans.

Her Instagram is here

they need roughly 7.3k USD to get to their next goal. remember to check the conversion rates! 10 USD = 103 SEK

Israel has pummeled Lebanon with an unprecedented airstrike campaign in less than three weeks, killing over 1,400 people, injuring nearly 7,500 others and displacing more than one million people from their homes, according to the Lebanese health ministry. The bombardment, which Israel says is targeting Hezbollah strongholds in the country, marks the world’s “most intense aerial campaign” outside of Gaza in the last two decades, according to the conflict monitoring group Airwars. Israel’s strikes are occurring at “a level and intensity that Israel’s own allies just simply would not have carried out in the last 20 years,” Emily Tripp, director of the UK-based group, told CNN. She pointed to the United States-led military campaign against ISIS in 2017, where, at the height of the battle for Raqqa – the terror group’s de facto capital – 500 munitions were deployed in a single day. Over the course of two days, on September 24 and September 25, the Israel military said it used 2,000 munitions and carried out 3,000 strikes. In comparison, for most of America’s 20-year war in Afghanistan, the US carried out less than 3,000 strikes a year, barring the first year of the invasion, where around 6,500 strikes were carried out – according to data from Airwars analyzed by CNN. “This isn’t normal,” Tripp said of both the scale and size of Israel’s strikes on Lebanon.  While Israel’s air campaign is extremely “unusual,” Tripp said its assault on Gaza over the last year – where nearly 60% of buildings are estimated to have been damaged from Israeli strikes – have normalized such mass assaults.
