#hamas attacks

It is okay for you, random internet user, to not have hot takes on what is happening in the southern Levant right now. Especially if you do not know what the southern Levant refers to.

When in doubt, please remember the following:

There are no civilians who it is acceptable to murder

That's it, that's the take

So instead of ill-informed hot takes on tumblr dot com about an 80-year-old conflict in a former British colony whose history you barely understand, what should you be doing?

If you are in the U.S.: Support decolonization efforts right here in your own backyard in a country you have some hope of understanding. I recommend checking out the Land Back movement or looking up issues for a tribe or other indigenous group local to you. Or you can donate to the Native American Rights Fund or the Indian Law Resource Center, both of which fund things related to decolonization.

If you are in another settler colonial state: Find whatever the equivalent of that is in your country.

If you want to support Palestine: Donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, Al-Haq, or another trusted charity, and check out info from Amnesty International about human rights in Gaza, which are routinely violated by both the Israeli and Hamas governments.

“Noy Katsman knew the eulogy for their murdered brother would anger some who came to mourn, but did not want the violence of Hayim Katsman’s death to eclipse his life as a peace activist. Grief and loss at Hayim’s slaughter was magnified by watching Israel launch a war in his name, said Noy, who is non-binary. So at the funeral, relying on a Jewish tradition of respect for the bereaved, Noy called for it to stop.

“‘Do not use our death and our pain to bring the death and pain of other people and other families,’ Noy told the hundreds-strong crowd, as the government bombed Gaza and prepared for a massive ground invasion. ‘I have no doubt that even in the face of Hamas people that murdered him … he would still speak out against the killing and violence of innocent people.’

“Arguing against retaliation in Gaza, as Israel reels from the scale and brutality of the massacres by Hamas on 7 October, is unpopular. At one point in the eulogy the mourners tutted in anger and disapproval. But afterwards Hayim’s friends came to thank Noy. ‘One told me: It’s exactly what your brother would have wanted you to say.’

ईरान, लेबनान, गाजा, हर तरफ दुश्मन, फिर भी कैसे अजेय है इजरायल?

इजरायल उन देशों में शुमार है, जिनकी सीमाएं, चौतरफा दुश्मन देशों से घिरी हैं. एक पड़ोसी ऐसा नहीं है, जिससे इजरायल की दोस्ती हो. चौतरफा इस्लामिक देशों से घिरा यह यहूदी देश अगर जंग न करे तो खुद खत्म हो जाए. 7 अक्तूबर 2023 के बाद दुनिया इजरायल की क्रूरता के किस्से सुना रही है. संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ से लेकर पश्चिमी देशों तक, सबने एक सुर में इजरायल की कड़ी आलोचना की है, प्रतिबंधों का ऐलान किया है लेकिन इजरायल ने न ईरान को बख्शा है, न ही गाजा पट्टी में महीनों से जारी सैन्य तबाही रोकने के लिए तैयार हुआ है. अब इजरायल ने ईरान के परमाणु ठिकानों पर हमला बोला है.

हमला इतना खतरनाक था कि ईरानी रिवॉल्यूशनरी गार्ड के चीफ हुसैन सलामी ढेर हो गए. लेबनान में हिजबुल्लाह आतंकियों को बैकअप देने में ईरानी रिवॉल्यूशनी गार्ड की मदद जगजाहिर है. इजरायल ने  परमाणु ऊर्जा संगठन के पूर्व प्रमुख फिरेदून अब्बासी की भी मार दिया है.  इस्लामिक आजाद यूनिवर्सिटी के अध्यक्ष मोहम्मद मेहदी तेहरानची को भी इजरायल ने ढेर कर दिया है. इजरायल ने साफ ऐलान किया कि जब तक ईरान की तरफ से पैदा होने वाले हर खतरे को वह खत्म नहीं कर देगा, जंग नहीं रुकेगी.
