I'm actually going to scream.
You know what I found out?
December 10th is International Human rights day.
This year it will be the 75th anniversary of the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
... 75 years...
The same amount of time as the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine.
One of the most horrific ongoing human rights violations, started the the same year the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created.
One that the world is trying to ignore and silence people from speaking about.
Israel is illegally occupying and killing Palestinians.
It is a genocide.
And it's not just Palestinians.
Sudanese, Congolese, Armenian's, Kashmiri, Tigrayans, Uyghurs, and many many others are undergoing their own genocides and denial of basic human rights.
And places like Israel, the UK, the US are complicit and funding them.
None of these tragedies occur in a vaccum.
Don't let the world forget what's going on.
Don't let them brush these atrocities off as they celebrate this day.
On a day celebrating human rights, we need to discuss who is being denied there human rights.

How Kashmir and Palestine are Connected through Illegal Occupation
I just found out (although it’s not old news) that Israel plays a huge part in India’s illegal occupation of the state of Kashmir.
It shows just how extremist the government of India is against Muslims (and other minority religions), and how Israel is pushing their “religious war” agenda.
Kashmir is a Muslim-Majority state, under military occupation for the past 4 years by the Indian army. The people cannot walk just any street, there is military everywhere, and violence is very, very common and encouraged as the army has free reign to kill, rape, and commit other heinous acts…just like in Palestine.
When the Indian population sees this type of support for their government from Israel, it further pushes the extremist agenda that Kashmir and Palestine do not deserve freedom because their own government is telling them a “religious conflict”. So, if the Zionists support the Hindu-extremist BJP government in an occupation war against a Muslim state, then the Indian extremists support Israel in their occupation against Palestine.
Which is exactly what is happening. Everywhere on social media, a significant portion of Indians, mainly Hindus, support Israel despite the clear-cut atrocities they commit against the Palestinians.
Why? Not only because their own government supports it, but because it’s the same atrocities they fully support that are committed against the Kashmiris.
Before anyone tries to tell me the BJP Government is not extremist, they have allowed the multiple:
burnings and destruction of mosques
vicious attacks against Muslim families (not unlike Palestinians)
allowed the state government of Uttar Pradesh to BAN zabiha halal meat (the largest state of India)
as well as against other religions as well
And no, India has NO RIGHT to occupy Kashmir; it deserves be a free state
As a Pakistani, I’ve constantly seen how the situation in Kashmir and Palestine have gotten so much worse. I don’t have much of an audience on Tumblr, but I try to do what I can
