As a Jew I wholeheartedly believe that, folks who are pretending nothing is wrong and Palestinians aren't being murdered every day would have absolutely ignored the Holocaust and let my folks get killed without blinking an eye.

Americans have a lot of heroic fantasies about what they would have done during the Holocaust or chattel slavery, and the answer for a lot of them is absolutely nothing. They would have complained about the people actually doing things for being too disruptive. We Jews did the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and they would have called this terrorism. They would have also complained about MLK and Malcolm X, the former of which took the economies of entire cities hostage. Modern day disruptions don't hold a candle to historical disruptions.

In a two of more decades, people are going to use excuses like "I didn't know!" or pretend they were supportive all along, making tear jerking films about the Palestinian plight. We need to not let them do this.

Hi, reblogging this time just so everyone sees.

I’ve been making occasional updates in the notes for petitions and organizations I’ve found or been shown. I was able to make a donation to PCRF and just now to Care For Gaza.

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Care For Gaza: twitter instagram

it’s going to be Halloween and there’s poorly timed media releases, but we need to keep talking about Palestine and the Palestinian people. Please.

I’m a Jewish, third generation Holocaust survivor. I am telling you now that this is genocide. The Israeli government wants to wipe out the Palestinian people entirely. They speak of Palestinian people the same way we were spoken about, the way my grandmother was spoken about when she was in the concentration camp. Inhuman animals. This is wrong, and it is clearly wrong, and it is fucking evil.

Of course I want a homeland. It’s horrifying to exist in a world with so much antisemitism and nazism. But I do not want it at the cost of blood on my hands. That is evil. That couldn’t ever be worth it. I want my Israeli cousins who are being drafted to refuse and take the jail time. I want my entire people to realize that we are watching history repeat for another group and we cannot stay silent or compliant, like people were when it was us or our ancestors. The Israeli government is destroying the Palestinian people. Speak up against them NOW! Please, please.

There’s not much I can do from the comfort of my home. Please link petitions to sign below, preferably not from change.org. I do not have control of where my money goes and I don’t have a platform either. I’m just making this post because we need to stay focused and fight for a free Palestine. Please listen.

edit: I’m making updates in the notes for those who haven’t seen. I linked a petition I signed and PCRF’s website as I was able to make a donation. Please continue sharing resources, I’ll keep updating!

What’re the organizations? /genq (I want to know so I can sign too)

I signed two petitions for sure but they’re not showing in my search history :/ one was this:

I will update if I find the second one again. I don’t see anything in my history or emails so I may have done it through a tumblr link? my apologies

Hey why preferably not change.org? /genq

There’s a lot of Pro-Palestine petitions on there

hi, I do think change.org can make an impact in terms of getting lots of signatures – however, anything donation based usually ends up being ineffective because the site takes that money for themselves, not for the donation organizers. that’s what i’ve heard at least…

so overall I just don’t really like doing anything through change.org. I’ve signed petitions from organizations who have their own websites and it feels much more direct to me what I’m supporting and how my signature is going to help.

this is just my personal feeling, there’s always room for nuance and I would totally sign a change.org petition presented to me, just not my preference.

#i hope this makes sense #and let me know if what i’ve heard is disproven #i did another search and it seems to still be a valid concern about the site #asks
