Middle East eye recorded an interview with a palestinian woman who was kidnapped from her children for several days and she spoke about being continuously told to strip by Israeli women soldiers and being beaten by men and women occupation soldiers. It makes you think all that bullshit about solidarity with all women. israeli women can choke they facilitated the rape of palestinian women in Gaza and beat palestinian women with no remorse because theyre palestinian (the palestinian woman said "it was all punishment"). Because at the end of the day regardless the abuse israeli women face in their society, well they consider themselves part of the colony and superior to the native. Women settler colonialists who proclaim feminism only want to be equal to the men in their colonial project. All that bullshit zionists have been talking about "believe all women. Believe israeli women" actually never pertained to all women because where is their shock regarding the testimony of palestinian women relaying the sexual abuse they faced? No where
every single time israel fires on people picking up food or humanitarian aid it truly cuts me to the core. obviously it's equally horrible to fire on civilians escaping the invasion or to bomb hospitals or refugee camps or people just living in their own homes. but there's something so brutal about hitting people right when they have gathered for life-saving aid. by firing on them there the IOF have set up an impossible dilemma where starving people have to choose between death by bullet or death by hunger. they have left no room for palestinians to choose life. i do not know how my government or any other government can just sit by and watch while innocent people continue to be gunned down for the crime of existing in israel's eyeline.
I saw people do this & adopted it myself, and it’s actually been super helpful—set a daily reminder to do your arab.org click of the day. It has been said ad nauseam at this point, but if each person in the thousands of people who engage on palestine posts clicked on this, we’d be raising thousands in revenue towards humanitarian aid. Don’t think your one little click is unnecessary. It adds up fast—but only if you actually do it.
A lot of people asked how they can help if they don’t have funds to spare. This is the most passive way to raise donations towards Palestinian aid.
It is no secret that Israel attacks the most vulnerable and will do so by any means. The truth is in everyone's face yet so many people refuse to see this as a genocide.
Because my last post about this didn't get much traction, I'll say it in a text post.
There is an upcoming global strike for Palestine. February 18th to the 25th. Talk about Palestine and other injustices, call your representatives and email them, boycott companies and limit spending during the week. Get your grocery shopping in now and only buy essentials during the week, please. Limit interaction on posts other than injustices around the world. If you can, skip work or school, though this is a privilege not everyone has.
Edit: It is 18th-25th not 18th-24th!! If you've already reblogged this, please reblog this version instead, edits don't show on past reblogs
Living on a planet where any government is allowed to go through with military action that they know will result in the death of civilians should be gut-wrenchingly painful for all of us. Over 10,000 children have died in Palestine since October 7th, and there is not a single child in Gaza who is not suffering. CHILDREN. INFANTS. I can't stop thinking about all the innocent children we are losing and leaving to suffer every day.
Please use whatever privilege you have to do whatever you can during the Global Strike for Palestine (January 21st - 28th). Contact your representatives. Call for an immediate ceasefire. Boycott, stimulate the economy as minimally as possible, participate in pro-Palestinian protests, educate yourself, and most importantly, amplify the voices of Palestinians.
A few ways you can donate to/support people in Palestine:
eSims for Gaza
Palestine Children's Relief Fund
Anera
World Food Programme
Hardcore 4 Gaza
Hirbawi Kufiya Factory
Handmade Palestine (the inspiration for this post)
[ID: a digital illustration of black, white, and green text on a bright red background. The text reads "do not let them die in silence. strike. speak up. stand with Palestine." in all caps. The text is surrounded by small toys, pencils, and other handmade objects depicted in the same black, white, and green colors. End ID]
