VIOLENT SUPPRESSION OF AMERICAN PROTESTS INTENSIFIES
📹 The heavily militarized American police continue to violently suppress student protests against the Israeli occupation's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Police have assaulted and arrested over 900 demonstrators since April 18th, in service of the Israeli occupation and US defense contractors profiting off the genocide of Palestinians.

A Terror Called Zionism
Tumblr media
In the grip of oppression, a Palestinian child is detained for daring to dream of freedom of his own land, while oceans away, an American student is shackled for standing in solidarity with Palestinians and against the Israeli occupation.
From occupied Palestinian streets to the land of the free, voices for justice are silenced by those wielding the same coin of terror—a terror called Zionism.

Guardianship of Jerusalem
Jerusalem, the most sought out middle eastern city in history. An important city for three of the five major religions in the world, so of course people are still fighting over it like children over a toy. When the borders were first established(favoring the Zionists over the Palestinians), the UN decided that Jerusalem would be under their jurisdiction as to prevent Israel and Palestine from fighting over it. And of course they underestimated the Zionists desire to make the city their capital even though they had over 50% of the land. If the UN thought that the Zionists would have been satisfied with controlling half of the city and Palestine having the other half then they must have been surprised when the six days war happened and Israel trying to annex all of historic Palestine and then some. What did they expect giving a bunch of fascists that much land and power?
I have stated before that the Israeli government doesn’t understand the importance of Jerusalem and only sees it as a trophy. It’s because they are trying to make it into a Jewish city, fitting for a Jewish state. But Jerusalem is not a Jewish city, it’s a cosmopolitan one. And since it’s a cosmopolitan city then Israel is unfit to govern it by default because they have no interest in being cosmopolitan. You’re probably wondering “Then who should govern west Jerusalem instead?”, well that’s easy to answer: Palestine.
When the Ottoman Empire let the locals govern their country mostly independent, the Palestinians let people from other countries not only to pray and trade in the city but they let them live and work there too. Maybe you didn’t know this, but Jerusalem is not only a center for religious worship but also a center for trade in the Middle East. Palestine actually made the city more prosperous by creating a network of trade between Jerusalem, Gaza and Jaffa. I have talked about this in a previous post about Palestine’s history.
To summarize: Palestine can abide by being a cosmopolitan country, Israel, however, does not. So if the UN are deciding to where to put the borders between Israel and Palestine, then they should make new ones, not just using the old racist ones from 1967. And have Palestine be the lone custodian of Jerusalem as to preserve its diverse history and culture.
If you want to learn about Palestine’s history before the westerners made their lives hell, watch this documentary on the subject:

Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — More than half a million people in Gaza — a quarter of the population — are starving, according to a report Thursday by the U.N. and other agencies that highlights the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The extent of the population’s hunger eclipsed even the near-famines in Afghanistan and Yemen of recent years, according to figures in the report. The report warned that the risk of famine is “increasing each day,” blaming the hunger on insufficient aid entering Gaza. “It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza. And at this speed.” ... At the start of the war, Israel stopped all deliveries of food, water, medicine and fuel into the territory. After U.S. pressure, it allowed a trickle of aid in through Egypt. But U.N. agencies say only 10% of Gaza’s food needs has been entering for weeks. (Dec. 21, 2023 | Source)

GUINEA BISSAU BENDS TO ISRAELI PRESSURE BY BLOCKING FREEDOM FLOTILLA
The "Freedom Flotilla" aiming to deliver desperately needed aid to starving civilians in Gaza, without the coordination or approval of the Israeli occupation, has been blocked from sailing by Guinea-Bissau officials on Saturday.
Organizers of the flotilla blamed Israeli pressure for the decision by Guinea-Bissau authorities to deny the Turkish humanitarian organization, IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, the use of two of its ships they'd planned on sailing hundreds of tonnes of aid to Gaza in.
The group said Guinea-Bissau authorities asked for "extraordinary requests" for detailed information on the planned trip, while Israeli security officials prepared plans for their expected arrival in the coming days.
Previously, a similar flotilla was organized in 2010 which set sail for Gaza from Antalya, Turkiye, during which the Israeli occupation forces raided the ship, killing 10 people and wounding 28 others.

Brilliant minds think alike on Gaza
... both Jewish and non-Jewish students, inspired by anti-Apartheid protests in Beinecke Plaza decades earlier, had gathered for a week-long sit-in to demand that Yale divest the portion of its endowment invested in the stocks of military contractors, which make the weapons Israel is currently using in its war with Hamas in Gaza. The students were protesting under the Occupy Beinecke coalition, which includes Yale Jews for Ceasefire, a group of Jewish students dedicated to fighting for a ceasefire in Gaza as well as sustainable peace and equality within the region.

The lesson will be to reject the abuses of force; the abuses of authority; to embrace respect for people's differences and hopefully, a retreat from politicizing or pitting against each other what are ultimately universal values of peace and the betterment of all for all, and get to enjoy them instead. One hopes. There is an awful lot of pain and hatred trying to be implanted at the moment, and it's going to take a superhuman effort to forgive after the madness passes. We will have to rally around the positives and focus towards the future.

Anyone else think that this is getting ridiculous? They rather throw their own population into prison than admit that they are guilty of aiding a genocide of a native people? No wonder that I have found so many posts and comments about people being ashamed of being westerners. I hope this madness ends soon.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM BISAN ON HER INSTAGRAM
Today in Khan Yunis! This might be our last call, we are dying! Gaza is completely collapsing! Everything in it collapses. There were dozens of raids and three hospitals were besieged in Khanyounis: Al-Amal Hospital affiliated with the Red Crescent, Al-Khair Private Hospital, and Nasser Medical Complex, the largest health institution in the Gaza Strip. People killed in the bombing were buried on front of our eyes in the hospital yard due to tanks blockading the streets, the wounded were on the ground without treatment and there was not enough medical staff! Massacres are still being committed On the 109th day of the war, Khan Yunis, the largest governorate in the Gaza Strip and the one that receives the most displaced people, is under bombardment, and the number of displaced people in Rafah is more than one and a half million people, in an area of 151 square kilometers!! We are facing hepatitis and intestinal diseases in the southern Gaza Strip, and starvation to death in the northern Gaza Strip! Yesterday, people in the northern Gaza Strip began grinding animal feed to get flour! Take to the streets, protest, strike.. make pressure on the decision makers by striking the economic movement! Call for a ceasefire!
