As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:
DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.
It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.
Stories like Lama and Haya's can never be forgotten and it is our humanitarian duty to keep their voices aloft and alive. Free Palestine now and always! 🇵🇸❤️
Isn’t it crazy how hard some people on this website pushed the narrative that Biden “is just trying his best” “doing what he can in a broken system” “is expressing remorse, which Trump wouldn’t do” when it just broke the US has signed off on billions’ worth of bombs and jets, hot on the heels of Biden signing off on a bill that defunds the UNRWA?? Like isn’t that just something. It’s almost like he’s gleefully partaking in the extermination of Palestinians, and the whole “tensions between Israel and the US are rising!!!!” thing they played hard into was all for show and posturing. It’s almost like the US never faltered for a second in its position in this genocide—which is to continue funding it 6 months in and counting.
Eight girls from Beita, Nablus, carrying a hand-sewn outlawed Palestinian flag and singing Palestinian songs during the First Intifada, after Israeli soldiers dynamited 15 homes, killed a 16-year-old boy, and arrested all the village’s male adult residents. By George Azar.
i recently saw a video a little kid saving money to go back home to the north of gaza; and when he was asked what he was gonna do when he goes back, he said: "buy things, buy chocolate" and "play with his friends". i saw another video of 2 kids get emotional and happy because they finally got BREAD for food. these kids should only have to worry about getting some coins to buy their favourite snacks, or about going to school or having friends, not worry about whether they're going to die because of a fucking bomb.
if for whatever sick reason you think it's okay for people to go through a genocide, then could you at least have some empathy or compassion towards babies? literal kids. BABIES. get a fucking grip
Imagine you've been fasting all day only to break it with cooked grass. GRASS. All the while the ones who did this to you are dancing on TikTok and pretending to fast too only they've got a lavish seven course meal that they're boasting about online all the while trying to convince people that they are the ones who are suffering.
Taawon, a Palestinian non-profit, are organizing to distribute suhoor and iftar meals for displaced families in Gaza during Ramadan.
You can donate whatever amount through their donation page but they do have this guide on their page on what your contributions will help them provide.
I don’t think anyone actually knows the severity about the current Rafah bombing. 1.5MILLION displaced Palestinians are residing there. The idf was always said to be a “safe zone” and that everyone should evacuate there. This is not coincidental, they purposely cornered displaced Palestinians as far south as they could. If you look at a map of Gaza you’ll see that Rafah is the furthest you can go. There’s NO WHERE ELSE TO EVACUATE!! The Palestinians only have two options, flee to Egypt or die from air strikes. The idf did this on purpose. They plan to either kill all Palestinians or drive all of them to Egypt. ALL EYES ON RAFAH!! ALL EYES ON GAZA!!
the situation in sudan is dire. allied militants are targeting sudanese people in darfur on the basis of nothing but their ethnic identiy. telecommunications in sudan have all but shut down, impeding access to details of the atrocities that are being committed as we speak. people are being killed, their homes are being looted, they're having to relocate to other cities--only to fall prey to militant forces again, which are going out of their way to pillage more and more areas. although it's been difficult getting hold of footage in sudan, the ones that have managed to come out have been entirely horrific. just like palestine, sudan is falling victim to ethnic cleansing.
ramadan is coming soon, and it's a time of selfless giving and kindness. as we come closer and closer to it, please consider donating to ramadanforsudan--an initiative started by SAPA to raise humanitarian aid for sudan. as always, even the smallest penny counts. if you can't donate, make sure to spread this to someone who can. this is extremely time-sensitive, and it could use all the donations and coverage it can get.
