Gazan portraits by Palestinian Photographer Motaz Azaiza (pictured in the center of the final photograph) :

Motaz’s photography captures the daily life of Palestinians in Gaza; from old to young, from happy to sad, from living to dead - he is currently documenting the Israeli onslaught and mass destruction of Gaza live on his social media. His Instagram: Motaz_Azaiza

Trevonte Helton, a 29 year old Black man, "was found hanging from a tree at High Shoal Falls in North Georgia." This man was murdered, and their quick eagerness to call this an "isolated" incident is just horrifying.

He tried his best to cheer the innocent baby when he knows himself the catastrophe they’re facing. Ya Allah, please protect the people of Gaza. You know what is best for them. Grant us the imaan, patience and bravery You gifted them

We are talking about millions of people being exterminated... No food no water no electricity. Total blockade. Any aid gets bombed. Gaza has been bombed nonstop. Thousands murdered. Children murdered. No one can get in or out. Death Camp. Extermination. Wiping Gaza off the map.

Basically... a Holocaust.

Ironically, a bloody holocaust.

And Hamas are the terrorists??? REALLY????

#the way this time they have been going extra powerful with their propaganda #making sure to dehumanize Palestinians so they can kill MILLIONS OF INNOCENTS #and the world watches and debates morality #while spreading falsehoods #this is not a war #this is genocide #free palestine #palestine #gaza

[screamingfromuz]

Why do you still call yourself a pro-Palestinian Zionist?

I assume you’ve seen for yourself the forty minutes worth of footage of what Hamas did, Gazans cheering them on?

Those animals deserve death.

Yes. Because the moment I stop, the moment I give up on this very possible alliance between Israeli and Palestinians, I will lose.

And losing will destroy me. This is the hill I stand on, and I will keep standing on it as long as I can. I will continue to support the right for self determination of both my people and of the Palestinians, my brethren. I will continue to support a peaceful solution. I will not concede and let neither Hamas or the right wing extremists win.

I do avoid the videos to my own sanity, but I have read the descriptions. I knew about the cheering from the first day, and it didn't stop me then and would not stop me now. You know that there are people on my side cheering for the death of Palestinians? people who celebrate their deaths?

How can I, knowing those people exist, expect any Palestinian to reach their hand to me if I do not do the same? If I am to generalize and declare all Palestinians the same, how can I ask them to not do the same to me? What gives me the right to put others on a higher moral standard that I uphold myself to?

If a hand is able to reach to me through all this hate, what right do I have to not reach my hand in response? what right do I have to not grab that hand and hold this person? how can I in good faith give up on this chance?

I am and will stay both pro-Palestinian and a Zionist, because this is the only way I can live to my ideals. Because the moment I stop, I have personally failed.

The sheer fucking audacity of CNN to refer to yet another inhumane massacre of Palestinians who were just trying to retrieve aid for their starving families as a "chaotic incident" enrages me. They refuse to name the perpetrators who murdered Palestinians, the IOF and they refuse to condemn Israel for the atrocities they have been carrying out since October. The CNN and other western news/media outlets don't even deserve to be called as journalists but rather a bunch of heartless ghouls with no morality, fortitude, or spine. and these so-called news outlets should be put on trial for their complicity in this genocide.

#literally fuck everyone behind these reports #the constant dehumanization of Palestinian lives is rampant #not to mention that they won't even utter the word “genocide #fucking insane #fuck israel #fuck imperialism #fuck america #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #free palestine #gaza strip #palestinian genocide #palestine #war crimes

[ahaura]

absolutely fucking insane for people to message palestinians saying "im thinking about killing myself" like did you stop for one second to think about the person whose people are being subject to genocide is a human being and not your therapist, diary, or thought-dispenser who exists to make you feel better or to ease your distress

#i know things are hard right now but when you do this you center yourself and put palestinains - who are already dealing with a metric ton #of shit - into a really shitty position. like think before you fucking speak! #something something when you do this you also succeed in dehumanizing palestinians on some level because even if your intentions are good #you relegate them to a position different than what you consider as Normal Person and just take them for granted #you treat them as an information and convo dispenser instead of a person.

I've been on an unofficial hiatus for a while because recovery and adjusting to disability are both really hard, but i feel i do have to say something.

I am not pro-Israel. It's not just my political allignment that makes it impossible, but also my moral code.

Palestinian civilians have been displaced, wrongfullu incarcerated, killed, and otherwise subject to the Israeli government's military violence for decades now, plenty among them for peacefully protesting. Mandatory military service for Israeli citizens means any young adult who isn't willing to face jailtime for refusing to enlist is expected to be a tool of that military violence, and any who do enlist and say something in poor taste or genuinely offensive about it on social media becomes a much easier target than the ones actually in charge. Israeli soldiers ar facing depression and suicidal ideation from this war and Palestinian civilians are resorting to eating animal feed due to aid being cut off.

It is not Holocaust Inversion to say that the state of Israel is oppressing Palestinians

It is not Blood Libel to say Palestinians have had to look through rubble to find their dead childrens' body parts

Jewish people who cannot condone the actions of Israel for moral reasons do not deserve to be called self-hating for it

A massive loss of lives is never good, and it saddens me to hear of Israeli civilian deaths. I wish all those peaceful protests worked and this level of desperation had never been reached, but i cannot, in good conscience, condemn violent resistence to occupation, no matter who it comes from. Doing so cracks open the door for anyone to condemn any group they have a political grudge against for the same thing, and also to claim that they also deserve the total anihilation Israel seems intent on inflicting upon Gaza.

I hope that this war is called off. I hope that all of the hostages can return home. I hope that the brave and compassionate Israeli citizens who see the cruelty people inflict in their name for what it is and try to put a stop to it are victorious. I hope that from the River Jordan to the Mediteranian sea, Palestinians can walk freely among their grandparents' land without fear of bullets, bombs, or violence.

#after all the racism and blatant dehumanization i've seen hurled at Palestinians i can't stomach any more calls for their extermination #after seeing tiny bags with the demolished body parts of children #all the living children crying for their dead parents #i can't harden my heart to it #please unfollow if you can harden your heart to it

[chaiaurchaandni]

really important!!!

after killing 40 Palestinian journalists (+ many journalists who survived but their entire families were killed because their HOMES were targeted), zionists are now spreading dangerous propaganda linking journalists to hamas to

minimize their credibility

refuse to hold any accountability for killing them and

manufacture consent for further targeted killings of even more journalists

it is important to remember how heavily surveilled Gaza is and how israel knows where every single person lives. this is why many journalists have been martyred, not in the field while reporting, but in their homes, as they went home to see their families and get some rest. furthermore, if you follow motaz azaiza closely, you'll know that recently he has also had some close calls with israeli airstrikes, suggesting that israel is indeed targeting active Palestinian journalists, especially those who report in english or have a lot of reach in the west.

please do not fall for israeli propaganda and convince yourselves that israel is justified in murdering innocent Palestinians who only seek to show the world a small glimpse of the hell they live through everyday. call out this propaganda everywhere you see it, and spread awareness about this being a propaganda tactic. by israel's own logic, if journalists happen to record an armed group as they carry out an operation, then journalists from cnn who have embedded themselves with the idf, are also legitimate targets.

and as much as i hate a lot of these american journalists for their complicit reporting in the genocide of Palestinians, i think they deserve to be prosecuted in a free and fair court of law, not to be blown to bits for it. however, for israel, ALL palestinians must be killed to ensure the security of the zionist entity. even the existence of a single Palestinian is proof that israel is an illegitmate settler-colonial state that ethnically cleansed the indigenous population.

#fuck israel fuck zionism #the zionists r grasping at any excuse to dehumanize palestinian and they will stop at nothing #right now theyve started by suggesting journalists were involved in the oct 7 attack so all palestinian journalists deserve to die #eventually theyll say all palestinians were aware about the plans for oct 7th so all palestinians are legitimate targets #they lie and slander again and again and again #and palestinians have told nothing but the truth from the very beginning #every zionist accusation is a confession #all zionist journalists do not care about objectivity or truthfullness #they shamelessly spread propaganda eg ab the 40 burnt or beheaded babies #palestinian journalists dont even have to make up shit they just have tp turn on their camera and SHOW you whats happening #anyone with an eyes and a heart can see who is the victim and who is the aggressor #palestinian journalists have paid for their bravery and courage by their own blood and the blood of their loved ones #this is a common tactic in genocide also to kill intellectuals and journalists and artists from the target group #anyone who contributes to the creation of knowledge is seen as a legitimate target #free palestine #palestine #gaza #long live palestine #glory to the martyrs #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #long live the resistance #death to israel

Apparently Zionists are harrassing Sudanese people who're risking death to post updates from their own genocide because they can't tell the Sudanese flag 🇸🇩 apart from the Palestinian one. 🇵🇸

Mfers 1) can't even identify what they hate so much, 2) can't leave any Black people alone if their lives depended on it.

#''harrassment'' doesn't really cover it #i've never seen this level of blood-curdling dehumanizing outright genocidal hate from so many people before #they're swarming on twitter. it used to be pretty bad even here but now I think it's palestinians dealing with the worst of it #the lower the number of bigots on a site the more exclusively they go after their targets #leading to their harrassment being invisibilized to the unaffected majority who gaslights them about it on top of everything else #i remember the level of tankie harrassment of ukrainians last year. not that it stopped #but it's gotten worse now if anything because so many of them have jumped on palestine bc it validates their narrative #maybe it's why eastern european zionists are so much worse #or at least more visible #i don't think it's normal for so many genocides to be going on at the same time? unsure #palestine has thrown all the others into sharp relief but palestine alone has us so helpless #that it's making us too drained to give as much attention to the others #free palestine #free sudan #gaza genocide #palestinian genocide #sudanese genocide #online harassment #online hate #zionazis

decolonization beginning and ending as abstract theory is nothing more than a way for so called progressives to comfort themselves for being woke and reading the works of james baldwin and assata shakur and malcom x in their fancy classrooms but when it comes time to actually put it in practice, those same teachings are suddenly "inhumane" and "shameful". all while using any acts of resistance to justify the retaliation of an ongoing ethnic cleansing apartheid regime of an oppressive and occupying force?? its time to be for real and use some critical thinking skills

#the continued dehumanization of palestinians no longer shocks me the way it did when i was younger and the truth is liberation will never #be through the hands of the land hungry and money hungry imperial powers #liberation has been and always will be through the people

[milimeters-morales]

here’s the original post (instagram), the constant sound of shooting and bombing is awful.

#palestine #seen many videos of palestinian mothers crying over the bodies of their babies which range in age #my heart goes out to Duaa Obaid and her little girl Sama (seemed to be no older than 2) who was murdered by Israel #and the countless other mothers that have had their children beaten abused raped killed and stolen from them #and the mothers who had motherhood ripped away from them. they’ve no doubt lost fetuses from the constant terror theyre experiencing #not to mention the diseases and sicknesses that are spreading and will still affect the population years after palestine is freed #and the men and boys that are constantly stolen from their homes or whoever they had ran to after their homes were ransacked and attacked #and humiliated killed raped abused dehumanized pissed on #they are all suffering and it’s clear that it’s just plain genocide that Israel is commiting.

[cloudcountry]

there is NO fucking way israel's prime minister said hitler didn't want to kill the jews in 2015. HOLY SHIT. i almost didn't believe that??? BUT HE ACTUALLY SAID THAT????

#to be fair this is also the guy that is dehumanizing the palestinian people #of COURSE he'd try and distort history like that #what a horrible man

[cravenhearted]

I have finally watched The Creator yesterday. Watching that while the genocide in Palestine is currently unfolding was very, very painful.

Reviews on letterboxd I've seen focused so much on the what they perceived to be "boring sci-fi trope of wow robots have feelings/souls too" and neglected to point out how this film shows how US military DEHUMANIZE people.

It really grinds my gears how many people missed the totally not-subtle anti-military, anti-imperialism aspect at the very heart of the film.

#i do agree though the script is NOT good #the characters and the interactions and the emotional moments could've been written better #but as someone from Global South I absolutely adore the way they show how dehumanization works #i will probably say more about this film later. esp in regards to us war on terror and the on-going genocide of palestinian people. also th #whole 'A.I. must be stopped cus they will replace human' thing made me think about how people excusing israeli ethnonationalism #because 'Arab birth rate' would replace Israelis or whatever. that's why Palestinian children are considered to be massive threat to Israel #and this film a 'choosen child' is considered to be the highest threat to West military #The Creator #Gareth Edwards #John David Washington #The Creator 2023 #/text mine

it's been nearly three months since we went through an earthquake and each night when i go to bed i still feel the bed shaking underneath and i have to stand up and stare at my lamp to see if im just imagining things. i didn't even realize that the earthquake, which lasted for a mere minute, affected me this much until this started happening. so i can't even imagine the psychological repercussions that people in Palestine now face

to wake up to the sound of bombs everyday, to know that nowhere is safe, that there is nowhere to hide, to go to sleep not knowing if you'll still be alive tmrw, to write your name on your arm so that ppl would be able to identify you. all of this will leave such horrible horrible mental scars on all Palestinians i can't imagine the fear and the dread and the anxiety they must feel rn. my heart breaks for all of them it's horrible all of this is

#seeing how israel went back directly to murdering children #is just so #i lack the words to describe this entire ordeal #there is this dehumanization of palestinians and images of genocide that are shared everyday #almost as if people are getting used to it #to a mother apologizing to her 9 year old son because he was gone too soon #to a mother crying and reassuring her dead daughter that she would've made her a birthday party #no one should be getting used to these images #to this oppression to this brutalization to this genocide to this ethnic cleansing #please don't stop speaking up please please please #public pressure is what made israel sign a 4 day “truce” #we should turn it into a permanent ceasefire please don't become silent #silence is being complicit
