Even in the midst of the new year’s excitement, I genuinely can’t stop being haunted by thoughts of Palestine. We have the privilege of celebrating the new year, making resolutions, looking forward to the blessings in the year ahead—but many Palestinian children didn’t get that privilege. Hundreds upon hundreds of children far younger than me have died in the past 3 months; won’t get the luxury of sharing in this flurry of excitement and joy. Many more are biding their time, not knowing when their last day is. Tonight will mark a new beginning, but I hope it also heralds a year of far more people advocating for Palestine, sharing the atrocities that have been committed in Palestine, boycotting brands supporting Palestinian genocide, and just all around finally coming to terms with the fact that Palestinian genocide SHOULD be their concern—even if they’re not being directly affected by it. More people need to be aware that educating themselves on this should not be a choice, but a responsibility and a must.
“The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict…[an individual] who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Remember the names of the 45 countries that abstained from voting in favour of a ceasefire against Palestinians. Remember their names next time they start moaning and bitching about human rights when it's convenient to them.
Gaza is completely isolated, they can't even call ambulances while missiles and bombs are being thrown at them and 45 countries decided that this isn't worth their time.
Edit: correction of the image thank you @tartmagica for letting me know
I hate these annoying westerners adding their shitty dehumanizing opinions about how H amas doesn't care about its people like they've figured out how they think. Yes, thank you for your psychoanalysis. You know exactly what's going on behind that trauma they've been suffering from throughout their entire life. It's not like they saw bombs raining upon their homeland every single day while seeing more dead bodies than they could count. Yeah, no, that wouldn't radicalize someone at all. All of them are in it because it's fun to kill
This was shot last year. It explains what life is like under the occupation in Palestine, especially the west bank. It's very important and informing about everyday life, please watch it and share it as much as possible.
