“why do i believe this” and “who benefits from me believing it” are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more

There’s evidence that Palestinians in the mass graves (including babies, children, people in medical scrubs) were buried alive.

Your partner is trying to hide their nonhuman nature. You figured it out months ago but play along because you find their antics amusing.

Message to all Americans: you BETTER NOT have brought BURGER in your SUITCASE

[books-and-tears]

‼️‼️

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

“Victims of genocide die twice: first in the killing fields and then in the texts of denialists who insist that ‘nothing happened’ or that what happened was something ‘different’.”

— Panayiotis Diamadis, Australian genocide scholar. 100 years ago, the Armenian Genocide began. (via verticalbarmatt)

I need my fellow Americans to understand that it is disgustingly cruel, absurd, and privileged to be celebrating ANY sort of military conflicts or wars, especially in countries destabilized and exploited by the US.

War is not a fandom or sports game for us to spectate from the other side of the world in homes that have never been at risk of being bombed or invaded by soldiers. You should not be "picking sides" to cheer on or boo without ever being affected.

These are real people whose lives are being destroyed, whose homes are being reduced to rubble, who are losing their loved ones to horrific violence, whose lives will never be the same. Real people digging through rubble to find their children's bodies. Real people being torn apart by bullets. Real people being blown apart by bombs.

Do you understand that? Can you comprehend that? That while you sit safe in a country that hasn't been touched by a real war since before your parents were born, real people are losing their lives in conflicts that you're making fanart for and using to get clout on social media?
