I WOULD KISS YOU EVEN IF YOU WERE DEAD

I've been willing to draw Candyman for years, always putting it aside...I guess today is the day.

West Papua’s Indigenous people have called for a boycott of KitKat, Smarties and Aero chocolate, Oreo biscuits and Ritz crackers, and the cosmetics brands Pantene and Herbal Essences, over alleged ecocide in their territory.

All are products that contain palm oil and are made, say the campaigners, by companies that source the ingredient directly from West Papua, which has been under Indonesian control since 1963 and where thousands of acres of rainforest are being cleared for agriculture.

More than 90 West Papuan tribes, political organisations and religious groups have endorsed the call for a boycott, which they say should continue until the people of West Papua are given the right to self-determination.

Raki Ap, a spokesperson for the United Liberation Movement for West Papua, which is overseeing the call, said: “These products are linked to human rights violations, in the first place, because West Papuans are being forced, with violence, to get off the land where they’ve lived for thousands of years, which has now resulted in ecocide.

“This is a signal to the countries who are dealing with Indonesia, especially those in the Pacific region, to take notice of who they’re dealing with and how they are basically allowing Indonesia to continue the colonial project in West Papua, the human rights violations, and also ecocide.”

West Papuans say more than 500,000 of their people have been killed by the occupation in the past six decades, while millions of acres of their ancestral lands have been destroyed for corporate profit. Indonesia, already the world’s largest palm oil exporter, is now breaking ground in West Papua on the world’s biggest single palm oil plantation, as well as a sugar cane and biofuel plantation that will be the largest deforestation project ever launched.

“West Papuans’, especially the ULMWP, position is very clear: we are a modern-day colony,” said Ap, speaking from the Netherlands.

“Indonesia hijacked the right to self-determination in 1962 when the Netherlands and Indonesia signed an agreement without any consultation in West Papua … After that, in 1969, there was a so-called referendum, which wasn’t fair, which wasn’t under international law, one man, one vote: just 1,025 men were handpicked at gunpoint to vote for integration to Indonesia.

I've become a desperate mother, and I'm also sick because of the pressures of life I face. It's not easy to manage medication for all of these conditions. I desperately need your humanity, kind people. Follow her previous posts and you will see the truth in every word. My daughter Farah's tears and fate are in your hands. Don't condemn her to death.Her frail body is devoid of essential vitamins and nutrients. Save her with an urgent donation. 🙏🏻😭

🛑 Tears of the disabled, my daughter Farah deserves your donation. Move with your humanity, please 🙏🏻🥹

🚨Dear human being, I appeal to your kind soul. My child is battling death due to kidney failure. Please help save her; she is innocent and has done nothing wrong. I don't want to lose her. I am a grieving mother. Have mercy on me and spare me the agony of loss. 🙏🏻Donate now; your delay is contributing to my heartbreak.💔😭

Her frail body is deficient in essential vitamins for kidney patients, particularly potassium. Please help me buy what I need.

After a long fatigue in collecting money to obtain a university bachelor's degree, you must bring life out to me with a new predicament ، My computer which is my only source of income, has broken down ..😭

Unfortunately, my work stops today between providing a source of income for me and helping students in "Isnad Foundation". I am unable to take over tasks without a computer!!

The battery and the touchpad are broken, which means that my laptop will not be usable! 🤕 Fortunately, I keep my files on external storage, but now I urgently need a laptop and the least device now costs $1,000-$1500, I think this goal will be the most difficult since the beginning of the launch of my campaign!

This is what I’m being told because the treatment my mother needs — including the heart device — isn’t available to save her in time.

I am watching her fade… and I can’t do this alone.

Please help me keep her alive. Donate if you can, or share my post so it reaches someone who can.

I never thought I would have to ask for help like this… but today, I have no other choice.

I’m from Gaza, and I’m trying to save my cat, Amal — a name that means “hope.” I raised her since she was just 6 weeks old, and for over 10 years, she has been by my side through everything. She is not just a pet… she is my comfort, my safe place, and my family.

Today, Amal is fighting for her life.

She is suffering from advanced kidney disease. Her small body is getting weaker every day… she has lost so much weight, barely eats, and sometimes struggles just to stand or even drink water. Watching her like this — in pain, exhausted, slowly fading — is heartbreaking.

And still, she looks at me with trust… as if she believes I won’t give up on her.

I have done everything I can to help her, but here in Gaza, veterinary care is very limited and extremely expensive. The cost of tests, medications, and treatment has become more than I can afford.

I’m now at a point where I might have to stop her treatment… not because she stopped fighting, but because I can’t afford to continue.

Amal is not just my cat. She is my hope… a part of my soul.

I’m asking for your help to give her a chance to live without pain. Any donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference.

Your support will go toward:

• Medical tests and diagnosis

• Medications and ongoing treatment

• Vet visits and supportive care

If you can’t donate, please share this campaign… it might reach someone who can help save her life.

Please don’t let my cat Amal’s story end like this.

Please protect my little son, Abood (6 years old). All I have left are him and his siblings after this devastating war.Abood has developed hearing loss due to his repeated and persistent illnesses that never fully heal because of the cold and lack of nutrition. A layer of fluid has formed behind his eardrum, and he needs treatment before his condition worsens

Please, the prices here in Gaza are unbelievably high. I don’t want my little son to lose his hearing.

I need $175 (a very large amount, we have no source of income because of the war)

Please, please, I appeal to you from the heart of a mother broken for her little child. Please
