Hey guys remember when I said his grandfather lived the same suffering he just experienced? Here's some excerpts on British officers using Palestinian boys as human shields in the 1930's. I'm being very fucking literal.

Please do donate to Sudan initiatives. The news we hear from Sudan is absolutely terrible. Even if you can't donate, share it anywhere you think might get people to donate. Share it on ig, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, whatever. Just please do share and if you can spare a few dollars once and a while....

Another thing is that when this aggression started, we were so worried about winter and how displaced people in tents will survive it. Earlier this week the temperature in Gaza hit 38 degrees (100 Fahrenheit) and we are now wondering how will displaced people survive the heat in those tents.

They are almost halfway there btw

Do they know that even settlers in Palestine wore the kuffiyeh before the state of Israel was established in their own agricultural settlements…? settlers often wore the kuffiyeh to “blend into the oriental environment” - it’s well documented and we have plenty of pictures of it. Zionist logic doesn’t hold up and immediately falls apart after doing two minutes of research

Incredibly alarming that talks of “peace” in Gaza seem to extend no further than a ceasefire. How do you think they’re gonna start off where they left off themselves? Their houses are destroyed, so many have lost mothers and fathers and brothers and children, they still have no clean water and no food. Any area Israel withdraws out of is an area it already knows has been rendered inhospitable. There was even a direct quote by some IOF soldier gleefully stating how he “wasn’t sure Palestinians could go back to their homes.” So what happens when the US “succeeds at negotiating a ceasefire”? Who will be responsible for helping the Palestinians rebuild all that they’ve lost?

Palestinians are literally being treated as invalids & it hurts so much to see. It’s so heartbreaking watching footage of Palestinians walking the demolished streets of Khan Younis in shock, with some saying (with no emotion, bc they’ve been enduring this for months) that their homes are simply gone. There was nothing to come back to by the time Israeli troops left. These are whole, multidimensional human beings like you and me who no longer have homes they could live in. And there is literally no recourse. They’re supposed to just pick up the pieces all alone. It’s so dehumanizing I could cry about it.

So important to reinforce that advocacy for Palestinian rights doesn’t end at a ceasefire that has already come too little, too late. At that point it would be about advocating for Palestinians’ rights for quality of life, Palestinians’ rights to retribution, and most importantly Palestinians’ right to freedom. Although those numbers have certainly intensified since Oct. 7, the Palestinian struggle goes back decades. No one should be hanging up their hats when the US inevitably paints itself as the western savior Palestine has needed all along, finally flying in on a golden chariot to broker peace. This is far from over when a ceasefire is declared, and it’ll be far from over until every Palestinian enjoys the safety and comfort of living any human being is entitled to.

These updates are fucking insane. Israeli forces are currently besieging 3 hospitals: al-Amal Hospital, Nasser Hospital, and Shifa Hospital. They even executed a doctor, Muhammad al-Nono, for refusing to leave his patients, while a PRCS worker was killed in the al-Amal shelling (they are terrorizing these hospitals all at the same time). A Palestinian woman relayed that other women have been rounded up from Shifa hospital and subjected to rape and torture. There are also accounts of Christian Palestinians being denied access to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday—all while Israeli settlers stormed al-Aqsa Mosque on this same Sunday. My heart is aching for these Palestinians. So devastating there are no words.

Attacks on an additional hospital are ongoing and are not being reported by media, concerning zionist attacks on the European hospital. Staff have reported gunshots and air strikes by zionist occupation terrorists.

I’m actually so physically sick reading this. These Palestinians were malnourished, sick, frail. They just wanted sustenance for themselves, for their children. And Israel knows this. It knows it has created a fish bowl where people are starving every day, where they’re so desperate for the smallest morsel of food that they’re willing to go anywhere to get it. So they deliberately—on purpose—planted aid in a certain location, stayed waiting while Palestinians all rushed over for this promise of food, and then they opened fire. Now 104 Palestinians are dead, and the footage of this is so heartbreaking it actually made me wanna throw up. I am so incredibly tired of Arab lives being dispensable, or fodder for shock value videos. And with the UN having cut entry for aid trucks, I don’t know what the surviving Palestinians will do. It’s hard living with the fact that people care for Arab people so little, they’re willing to watch this and do nothing. Why are we not human to you?

It’s wrong to even say “Now with x Palestinians dead hopefully people will wake up,” because Palestinians are not out here trying to be some sort of symbol for anybody. They just wanna live, and they deserve to live, and they shouldn’t be framed as some means to an end. But even in saying that, it’s not as if Palestinian slaughter has stopped anyone anyway. People said Hind’s death would mobilize a change, but that did nothing. People said the threat to invade Rafah would mobilize a change, but that did nothing. A man self-immolated days ago, and that caught international attention—and yet it did nothing. I just want these people to live. I can’t stop thinking about the Arab families still in northern Gaza and the hell they’re going through just to stay alive. It’s too much.

We need to keep advocating for Palestine. Defeat is no better of an alternative. But it just amazes me how long Arabs have been begging and pleading with you to humanize them, to take their plights seriously, and how even with these stacking atrocities it changes nothing. Not even the horrific footage is moving anyone who can actually do something to do it. Arab lives have always been dispensable.
