"It sickens me that it is the spectacle that has finally moved the people of the world to listen to Palestinians about our struggle. Somehow, we needed to have our guts on display, disemboweled on the ground, before our humanity can be proven by vivisection." -Sonia Sulaiman

"Pro-Palestinians shouldn't block roads because that's going to make people angry and" Palestinians shouldn't be killed

"Boycotting doesn't actually work and you're risking the jobs of" Palestinians shouldn't be murdered

"Palestinians should offer sympathy and empathy for the October" Palestinians shouldn't be tortured

"People only care about Palestine because its trending none of you actually" Palestinians shouldn't be hostages

"Palestinians should educate about" Palestinians should not have to do anything. The suffering of Congo, of Syria, of Iraq, of Venezuala, of Ukraine, of Sudan, of Yemen, of everywhere do not have to pick themselves apart and display exactly what you would like to see so you'd be willing to admit that they're suffering.

the torture in abu graib exposed should've permanently destroyed any faith in the US government to be "humanitarian" in foreign policy, but instead revealed the power of dehumanization. the most horrific war crimes become a necessary evil as long as you view victims of those crimes as deserving of it. and unsurprisingly the most depraved individuals are attracted to jobs involving torture CIA "advanced interrogation techniques". what torture you see israelis doing right now is so comparable to the torture done by the CIA in abu graib. some of it is quite literally identical, including the pictures and videos sadistically depicting war crimes as a positive.

and now what do you hear? "you're supporting terrorism by rejecting biden/israel". you know who else was accused of supporting terrorism? people questioning bush's policies after 9/11. you know what the public is aware of now? those people were correct about the bush administration.

How zionists talk about the murder of 4, 8 and 10 years old children

[sowakeupalready]

April 3, 2024. Journalist Zuher Dahlan was passing out candy and saw a little girl start crying. He asked her why she was crying and found out that he resembles her father, who has been missing since they left the north of Gaza.

Cole Brings Plenty.

Cole, an indigenous American, was murdered. He had been missing for four/five days before they learned he had been murdered. He was murdered in a "secluded area of the woods" with his hair butchered and cut. He was murdered in the same way that his sister, Kyla Mercy Red Bear, less than a year ago, had been murdered.

And, exactly as what happened with Kyla, Cole's murder is not being called a murder.

The police have decided to announce no foul play, despite the family pleading for justice. The police, less than a year ago, decided no foul play in the murder of Kyla, despite the family pleading for justice.

This is the reality for many indignenous people. Silently get killed in the background, stay silent while your culture gets massacred, and remain silent well after they've buried you.

Cole was assaulted. He had been accused of domestic violence by the woman that cut his hair off before she retracted her statement. *If* a news organization is mentioning this at all, they center the conversation on the accusation. Not on the murder, nor the assault, nor his sister, nor America's history of excluding and ignoring the violence and suffering of the indigneous.

Justice for Cole. Justice for Kyla. Justice for Ella Mae Begay, Levi Brian Yellow Mule, Merle Glen Saul, Damon Boyd, Tyana Whitehawk, Kendra Nicole Battelo, Diana Medicine Horse, Michelle Elbow Shield, and all other Indigenous people that are missing and/or murdered.

#you deserve better #justice #justice for the indigneous #indigenous #native #acab #im so sorry #no indigenous person is free #until ALL indigenous are free #may your memories be inspiration #may your spirits be at peace #may our hearts remember your names

I know people have already pointed out the clear hypocrisy in people seeing the murder of White people as the final straw, but guys. Hind.

The Red Crescent is the Muslim version of the Red Cross. So when people heard that Israel killed a six year old and the members of the Red Crescent that desperately tried to save her, they did not care.

That should have been the last straw. I cannot fathom how anyone was able to pick their life up and forget this. That should have been the last straw, and instead people completely ignored the aid workers that were obviously targeted and killed and they completely shrugged it off and now it's happened again, but to people with lighter skin and brighter eyes and a different mother tongue and now suddenly death's a tradegy again.

Knowing that the Red Crescent staff shared their coordinates with Israeli forces when they embarked on their rescue mission in January to save 6 year old Hind who was trapped in a car with dead family members, and knowing Israeli forces struck the ambulance when it was meters away from where Hind was, killing everyone.

We just cannot be totally shocked now to learn that the WCK also shared their coordinates with the Israeli forces and they too had not one, not two, but three of their marked vehicles targeted separately killing 7 of their staff.

It's all part of the same plan with the same agenda on a genocidal loop. It's systemic evil and literally predictable at this point.

It needs to be stopped and calls for ceasefire just won't cut it now. These calls need to be elevated to hold Israel accountable for the crimes it has been literally broadcasting.

There are these tiktok ads where some White dude with a slight tan and loose brown curls (like the OG Palestinian boys) walks around in what I swear is like those white robes and those brown sandals and he goes like "Welcome...to Tel Aviv" and the whole ad is "Look how beautiful it is" and "Come Join Us" and its like. Okay. Sure man sign me up let me in

it's so funny when people say "go back to your country" like girl i'm TRYING 😭😭😭

They bombed a hospital, and when nobody stopped them, they bombed every hospital.

They killed a journalist, and when nobody stopped them, they killed more journalists than any other war in history.

They killed a child, and when nobody stopped them, they killed more kids than four years of world conflict.

And now they bombed an aid convoy.

I get that we don't matter. Fine. I get that our kids don't matter, or our parents, or our dignity, or our lives. Whatever. Where is the line? Where's the fucking limit? Give me a number of deaths, or a date, or an action, because I'm so sick of hoping that a horrific event will be the spark that will coax racist old White men to end the genocide and I'm so sick of all the horrific events blurring together because it's never ever enough.

I’m just so fucking pissed off man if they can surgically airstrike international volunteer food workers three consecutive times to ensure their operation is wiped out completely what the fuck is left for anyone to say

#palestine #free gaza #free palestine #what do i do #every single Palestinian #and i mean EVERY Palestinian #that writes and speaks about Palestine #is risking their lives #and the lives of their families #thats Israels power #thats how tight our chain is #i could get imprisoned and tortured and killed #for this stupid post #and im so #so #sick of this #my people deserve better

I've always felt uneasy about wanting to get people to pay attention to the atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza by saying "if Israel isn't stopped, it's only a matter of time before it happens to you" because why not care even if this wasn't ever going to affect you personally

But seeing as how Israel had targeted a clearly marked vehicle of World Central Kitchen today, killing 4 of its staff operating in southern Gaza who are Australian, British and Polish - just goes to show these people again that Israel is setting precedent and making sure the world understands that it's not "violating international law", it is in fact changing the standard and setting the stage of what counts as a crime and what is permissible and can be done with complete impunity and no consequences.

April marks 6 months of the Israeli genocide in Palestine, 1 year of the war in Sudan. Over 32,000 killed in Gaza estimates are over 50k killed in Sudan*. Liberation in Palestine + Sudan will require the entire complicit multi-lateral system from the UN to the AU be abolished.

People speaking about Palestine being a trend are so funny, because Palestinians never shut up about Palestine. We miss our home, and we grieve our home, and we fight for our home constantly.

The Starbucks boycott isn't new. The first time, Starbucks was forced to stop donating money to the IDF. We know what we're doing.

Having non-Arabs/non-Muslims stand by us, though? That's new. That's literally revoluntionary. The movement is not new. Non-Palis being involved is new. People seeing Palestine as more than a political joke is new. People seeing Palestine is new. Fix yourself, then fix your community, then fix your world, and maybe life won't be so hard for everyone.

I posted about Palestine on social media for years with zero interaction. No one wanted to talk about it and it has always seemed too far removed for americans to give a shit about.

So again I just want to remind people, it's never been like this before (in the us). This movement has always been here, but they can no longer bury it.

The fact that protests and boycotts have been sustained for going-on 6months, that's not nothing. This should be evidence to you that we can sustain the momentum, we must, and use this momentum for radical changes within ourselves, our habits, and our education.

We have the rest of the world to catch up with.
