3/9/25 | @FilmUpdates: ‘THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB’ received a 22-minute standing ovation at the 82nd Venice Film Festival. The longest of the festival so far.
@samah_fadil: can't help but wonder how many american-funded bombs and bullets ripped through palestinian flesh during those 22 minutes.
@NerdeenKiswani: Hollywood making movies about a genocide that’s still happening is their way of absolving themselves. They profit, pat themselves on the back, and package it as history, while 100+ Palestinians are starved and bombed daily. Their responsibility is to stop it now.
the world and its ghoulish consumerist media are just fossilizing the lack of shame and uselessness in their pathetic attention, two years into an open genocide, so we can pretend they're doing something such as "awareness", achieved a while back thanks to the resistance which is hardly if ever honored as much as journalists and the selective focus of the day which usually involves infantilizing a whole genocide looking for victims to sell to hollywood.
ffs, awareness isn't low, neither is the awareness of the reality of what must be done to stop the genocide of palestine.
what the world is low on is on bravery and the ability to die for others, so now liberalism shows its ugliest face: easier to make films and movies and continue to be safe and comfortable profiteering from other's suffering but impossible to reproach as hollywood standing for all genocidal "humanity "shields itself in the name of "art" and "memory". and why do these white genocidal useless vultures get to process others' deaths through their entitled lens and money and consumerism into their own memory forgetting palestinians dying right now? why do they get to approach desperate people and promise them nothing by giving them a space where nobody cares but for the circus they've made of morality and the responsibility we have for each other?
this whole exercise centering hind rajab only serves to obfuscate the selective genocidal infantilizing "empathy" of the west, the same sham of diplomacy meant to make palestinians into palatable victims, it offers nothing while it maintains what israel wanted from the beginning, for palestinians to lose everything, even their stories as they become the masks of white saviorism for liberal zionists normalizing and making once again historic the suffering of palestine.
it's plain horrifying to see how easy it's to make the general population fucking clowns the second there's the possibility of communal patting-in-the-back for OTHER'S PEOPLES GENOCIDE! this is the same as that liberal zionist friedland or whatever tf last week as if it mattered that there's still "conversations" to be had that aren't just circlejerks to coddle jewish people who like everybody else seem unable to cut ties with their zionist mom, dad, and friends and etc. for some godforsaken LIBERAL genocidal reason it's easier to make a circus out of that while the meaning of resistance is watered down into nothing and the demonstrations of action made by rachel corrie or aaron bushnell or the BRIGADES THEMSELVES are forgotten for a defanged intifada hellbent on coddling GENOCIDAIRE populations, wtf dude?
i hate how nobody is pushing anyone to the "violence" needed for change, violence here being an useless word now because the promise of not complying with a genocidal entity and responding to their acts of aggression is seen as a threat and thus, defined as violence. resistance is violence from the pov of the colonizer so why are we so afraid to just embrace the power needed to change? i am so damn tired of the mutilation of the "intifada" into nothing by the west, what uselessness is there in the water for no one to die for palestine? what will it take?
please donate to these two campaigns if anything today, share and donate as soon as now, the least we owe to palestine is survival, after that we owe them our lives and our children's too probably for a thousand years 🇵🇸
