The news keeps saying that “aid in Gaza is running dangerously” low, but with Israel seizing the Rafah-Egypt crossing there is literally nothing. That was the lifeline of Gaza. Now that Israel is encroaching on Rafah full force there’s nowhere for aid to go & people are dying a slow painful death
April on top of being Arab American heritage month is also GENOCIDE AWARENESS MONTH. sixth going into seventh month of this genocide, 76 years of occupation, and the biden administration actively sending arms to the iof (namely, thousands of 2000-pound bombs that literally make craters in the ground and are banned from use in any western military because of its potential for civilian casualties) while endorsing the u.s.’ continued support for israel defending itself. when will you learn compassion? when will you stop endorsing biden for another term?
i drew some poppies and made a couple images with them. the red was colourpicked from the palestinian flag. the black on white can be used to make thermal-printed slapper stickers. feel free to use them.
"photograph of a young palestinian girl flying her kite on al-waha beach, gaza, 2011. on this day, 6,200 palestinian children filled the gaza sky with kites, achieving the guinness world record for most kites flown simultaneously. the culture of kite flying amongst gaza youth remains a symbol of resilience, creativity, and joy. over the past 7 weeks, the amount of children killed by the israeli state has nearly surpassed this number, continuing to rise each day. we must continue calling for a permanent ceasefire now. the devastation must end" — via @azeemamag on instagram
