Is this a watershed moment for Jewish solidarity with Palestinians?
We look at whether there is a shift within the Jewish community against Israel’s actions and policies.
Israel’s war on Gaza rages on, now in its sixth month, causing mass devastation and resulting in the deaths of more than 31,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. With mounting humanitarian crises, Jewish groups across the world have rallied in large numbers to denounce Israel’s actions and policies.
This is not the first time Jewish communities have come together to criticise Israel. A growing number of progressive Jewish groups have been organising against Israel’s policies towards the Palestinians for years.
This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill talks to the founder of Rabbis for Ceasefire, Rabbi Alissa Wise, and the national spokesperson for IfNotNow, Eva Borgwardt, about the Jewish communities mobilising for Palestinian liberation.

These the type of last messages that haunt my mind forever man. What the fuck do you mean he said "is there flour?" and "O' Allah, relief" only to be slaughtered on the same day???
We failed every single one of the 40,000 martyrs as humans. We failed them all.

people just love to appropriate poverty struggles and classicism when they are challenged on their own consumption habits.
veganism is bad because some people live in food deserts (even though they don't)
no one can critizise fast fashion and ultra consumption of clothing because it's just so classist to say we shouldn't support slave labor (ignoring the fact that "poor" people are not buying 70 new items of clothing a year)
framing the demand for fundamental change, and the actions supporting it as intolerant as those horrible existing systems, because accountability is scary, and changing your lifestyle is hard.
if you cannot make a certain change right now, that's ok. activism groups largely know and account for that. but you should ask yourself: "can i actually not do this? or am i just unwilling to give up a priviledge i have?" because there is a difference

even tho I'm a cis lesbian, I hate seeing people say stuff like "I hate men" "KAM" and "cis guys are the worst" and yk, anything else about men being bad because;
1. The whole point of feminism is that nobody should be treated differently purely because of their gender
2. Saying all men suck is making an assumption based on an irrelevant category, and barely any different to ideologies like "all women want is your wallet"
3. By specifying cis guys you are separating trans and cis men, as if trans guys aren't literally men, which results in you being transphobic (regardless of whether or not that was your intent)
4. Men who see people online talking about hating men are probably going to be offended - and they have every right to be - which over time only results in them becoming more sexist (and the last thing we need are more tate-riders)
5. There are shitty people in every gender category - men, women, non binary or whatever else one identifies as, because gender holds no regard to moral value
There's probably a million other reasons but at the end of the day it's shitty to say that you don't care for men because let's be honest, we shouldn't be making assumptions based on gender because that's kind of why feminists have been getting pissed at men for like thousands of years...

If you have ever said or done anything that could be considered "Anti-Zionist", please read!
This is the Canary Mission; it's a Zionist project to doxx anyone who has publically supported Palestine. This includes posting their university or job location and their photograph. It's straight up stochastic terrorism.
Tumblr media
The only way to get them to remove your information is to write a written apology to Israel and the Canary Project, repenting for your anti-zionist beliefs. As far as I know there is no legal way to combat your information being posted by them. I strongly recommend checking to make sure you haven't been placed on there; if you have, however, there is at least one way to try and mitigate the damage to your reputation that being labelled an antisemite for standing against genocide might cause: This is Against Canary Mission, a program that seeks to combat the libel of Canary Mission by posting clarifications, and attempting to drown out google search results for your name from Canary Project with their own.
Tumblr media
Please consider taking action as necessary to protect yourself.

Interesting to call this “confiscating” when it’s just making the rich pay their fair share, especially considering all the stolen wealth from the bottom 99% and historic tax evasion.

Inspired by this post by @alex-just-vibing. PaliRev values the contribution of all people to the liberation of Palestine, and we encourage you to share this around your schools or with others to give accessible options for us all to show solidarity for the Palestinian people.
[image id: an image with a white background, bordered on the bottom left and top right with green, corner illustrations, an olive garden branch drawing on the bottom right, and a drawing of a boy sitting down with a backpack leaning on him, looking downwards sadly on the top right. there is a low opacity palestinian flag behind black text reading "HOW DO I SUPPORT PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE IF I CAN'T DONATE?" below this is a list in smaller black text, bulleted with light green arrows. the list reads:
"- Wear shirts, pins, keffiyehs, anything outwardly pro Palestine.
Email your Representatives, Congress, White House. Tell the people in charge you want a ceasefire.
Talk to your local library about holding an educational night about the genocide and/or Palestinian culture.
Make schoolwork about Palestine! Writing about news? Focus on Palestine. Making questions for a test? Use Palestine as an example.
Find social media accounts for your representatives and schools, and make a fuss. Comment and @ them!
Show up to local actions (i.e. protests), join and organization, and follow Palestinian journalists! (next line) - Motaz Azaiza, Plestia Alaqad, Hind Khoudary, Bisan Owda -
Educate yourself on anti-Palestine talking points (Palestine toolkit) and how to refute them in a calm manner.
Speak up! It's scary, but don't let other people's bigotry go unchecked. You'll find that other people agree, and speak up from your example.
Don't engage with people unwilling to learn. Your goal is to educate people who are and make those comfortable with genocide feel UNCOMFORTABLE."
below this in light grey text reads "@PALIREV.WEB". /end id.]

Aaron Bushnell it's trending. His name is trending. His screams of Free Palestine weren't in vain. Because Tumblr can try and censore palestinian blogs, and keep palestine from trending, but we will always find a way to bring revolution to the world.
Fucking Free Palestine

Golf Courses ARE Being Converted
The Solarpunk "fantasy" that so many of us tout as a dream vision, converting golf courses into ecological wonderlands, is being implemented across the USA according to this NYT article!
The article covers courses in Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, Colorado, and New York that are being bought and turned into habitat and hiking trails.
Tumblr media
The article goes more into detail about how sand traps are being turned into sand boxes for kids, endangered local species are being planted, rocks for owl habitat are being installed, and that as these courses become wilder, they are creating more areas for biodiversity to thrive.
Most of the courses in transition are being bought by Local Land Trusts. Apparently the supply of golf courses in the USA is way over the demand, and many have been shut down since the early 2000s. While many are bought up and paved over, land Trusts have been able to buy several and turn them into what the communities want: public areas for people and wildlife. It does make a point to say that not every hold course location lends itself well to habitat for animals (but that doesn't mean it wouldn't make great housing!)
Tumblr media
So lets be excited by the fact that people we don't even know about are working on the solutions we love to see! Turning a private space that needs thousands of gallons of water and fertilizer into an ecologically oriented public space is the future I want to see! I can say when I used to work in water conservation, we were getting a lot of clients that were golf courses that were interested in cutting their resource input, and they ended up planting a lot of natives! So even the golf courses that still operate could be making an effort.
So what I'd encourage you to do is see if there's any land or community trusts in your area, and see if you can get involved! Maybe even look into how to start one in your community! Through land trusts it's not always golf course conversions, but community gardens, solar fields, disaster adaptation, or low cost housing! (Here's a link to the first locator I found, but that doesn't mean if something isn't on here it doesn't exist in your area, do some digging!)
