does throwing a stone at a tank
make a child a terrorist?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
is terrorism about resisting oppression? is terrorism about demanding your birthright to live safely and peacefully in your homeland? is terrorism about hating the killers of your family, your friends and your people?
accusations of terrorism are often weaponized against those fighting for liberation and sovereignty and dignity. the french settlers called the algerians terrorists. the indian government calls the kashmiris terrorists. the pakistani army calls pashtun activists terrorists. the turkish government calls the kurds terrorists. apartheid south africa called nelson mandela a terrorist. americans called the vietcong and the black panthers terrorists. the israelis call the palestinians terrorists. all oppressive regimes are connected. all oppressed people are connected. injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

"No sugarcoating the Palestinian cause to make it palatable for Westerners. We don’t want peace—we want freedom. We don’t want to live side-by-side, we want the settlers to leave our land. There’s no conversation to be had. The demand is clear—we want to return to our home. We don’t negotiate with terror!sts. Long live the Palestinian revolution. ✌🏼🔻🇵🇸"

Hey if anyone's feeling hopeless and helpless about what's going on in Gaza (and the West Bank and the world at large) right now, I HIGHLY recommend Jewish Voice for Peace's daily Power Half Hour calls. They're every weekday over zoom from 3:00-3:30pm EST.
They're open to everyone, regardless of faith and they're really really grounding. Every day we take collective action together and complete easy short action items -- like calling our reps -- together while on the call. I cannot stress enough how much the calls are doing to keep me sane and still able to fight.
The JVP power half hour calls are primarily US-based but there are people tuning in from all over the world and sharing actions and news from their respective countries.
Anyways, you can sign up to be on their email list and receive notifications and invitations to the calls through JVP's website
or you can use this link directly to join the calls every day
you can also watch the livestream of them on youtube here

Land Day - March 30th
Every year on the 30th of March, Palestinians all across Palestine, yet especially those living inside the 1948 green line (governed by the Israeli government) revive the memory of ‘The Land Day’ (in Arabic : Yawm Al-Ard), a day that first became of significance in the year 1976 when the Israeli government announced the plan that it had in mind, to take and expropriate thousands of dunams of land from Palestinian citizens for “state purposes”… this led the Palestinian citizens living under Israeli rule to take on a general strike and go out in protests and demonstrations in large number against such a decision that deprives them from the lands that they own privately.
On the protests of March 30th 1976 the IOF killed 6 Palestinians (Khadeejah Qasem Shawahneh, Kheir Ahmed Yassin, Raja Hussein Abu Rayya, Khader Eid Mahmoud Khalailah, Mohsen Hasan Sayyed Taha, Ra’afat Ali Zuheiri) while injuring and arresting hundreds more…
Many literary and artistic pieces have been dedicated to the memory of Palestinian Land Day by various authors and artists, the most famous piece being a poem written by the renowned Palestinian author and poet Mahmoud Darwish named “Al-Ard” (which translates to “The Land” in English).
The BDS movement is encouraging people from all over the world to organize huge protests and demonstrations on Land Day, as it is a day that holds a big part of the Palestinian struggle, which is the struggle to take back the stolen lands that were expropriated by the occupation’s government.
So what will you be doing this Land Day (March 30th 2024) to help raise Palestinian voices ?

Tom Hurndall Hector Pieterson
January 13, 2004 June 16, 1976
Gaza Strip, Palestine Soweto, South Africa
I just saw the picture of Tom, and immediately, the picture of Hector came to my mind because of the striking resemblance.
Tom was killed by Israeli forces when he ran to protect two Palestinian children. He was shot in the head by an IDF soldier.
Hector was killed by the South African Police under the Apartheid system while he, along with 20 000± pupils, protested 'the language of the oppressor' (Afrikaans). Hector was one of an estimated 176 pupils killed during the Soweto uprising.
Remember them. Forever.

My blog used to be barren and I hardly reblogged anything let alone posting things. Then I saw the blatant hypocrisy of mainstream media about Palestine and their shameful way of trying to portray the victims as villains made me open up my mouth. It's not just for me though. The same thing happened to thousands of millions of people around the world. People who never heard about Palestine became aware, people who were indifferent about the Middle East became interested, people who were introverts came out to join rallies in defense of Palestine. Why? Cause in the end we're all humans and we're not devoid of humanity.
Enough is enough. People had enough. People are fed up with tyranny and privileged bullies, people are done being fooled.
Palestine has ignited the spark in us. Thank you, the people of Palestine. For encouraging us, for showing us the way, for being the inspiration.

"It might be hard to believe that this video was taken today after 155 days of genocide and war and continuous death and bombing even though Gaza still astonishes me because every single day I walk to a new place I find places that are full of beauty and life, its like the land itself is resisting to be killed to be demolished and to be wiped from the planet earth, long live Palestine and for God’s sake ceasefirenow🇵🇸"

Today marks the 17th of April, which is Palestinian prisoner day…
on such an occasion we wish for all of our innocent and beloved detainees and prisoners who have been put (without a charge, or because of wrongful and false accusations) inside the occupation’s prisons to very soon be released, to be able to experience life between us as it is and to gain back their freedom that they have been deprived from for months, if not even years or decades.
we wish that in a few years, when it is again the 17th of April, we’ll be looking back at this day and date in a Free Palestine while telling these stories of detainment and imprisonment as something of the past that will never bother us or come upon our lives to ruin them ever again.
on this day, we wish for the mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, daughters, sons, grandchildren and friends of those imprisoned to have endless amounts of patience, faith and hope until their loved ones are released.
الحرّية لأسرى الحرّية 🍉

For Historical Context : The Palestinian National Council chose April 17 as Palestinian Prisoner’s Day in 1974 because it was the date that Mahmoud Bakr Hijazi was released in the first prisoner exchange between Israel and Palestine in 1971.

Transcript for our HoH friends!:
So this might be the single most unhinged headline I have seen in a minute.
"Dear BLM Activists, We Israelis Also Can't Breathe."
I saw that article this morning, read through it, and discovered that there is so many angles to tackle this. I just want to go through all of them.
For starters, really bold for Israelis to weaponize BLM uh... When Israel was giving birth control to Ethiopian Jewish settlers without their consent for a period of time.
Also, this is the same Israel that was one of the primary exporters of arms to the apartied South African government up until its collapse. Almost going so far as to sell the apartied South African government nuclear weapons. Although, notably, Israel and apartied South Africa had a long history of joint-nuclear weapons development between their two programs. The South Africans offering, often times the resources and capital and the Israelis offering up the technical expertise. That really deserves an entire video that end of itself, though.
But because they invoked BLM, the one that I really want to settle on is the "Deadly Exchange."" For those of you that don't know, um hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the country, especially since 2001, have been actively trained and sometimes have traded tech and tactics with Israeli occupational forces.
There's a lot of examples to this that I can go into, the one that I really want to touch on is that American police officers visited Jerusalem and saw the 400 cameras that were blanketing the Old City in an effort to surveil Palestinians. In following visits to Israel by the Atlanta Police Department, their department created a Video Interrogation Center, collecting and monitoring footage from the city's thousands public and private 24-hour surveillance cameras. The Atlanta Police Department reported that the center is modeled after the command and control center in the Old City of Jerusalem and mimics Israeli methods to proactively monitor crime.
And Atlanta is far from the only city, uh if you're in a major city in the United States, there is a very good likelihood that your local police department has at some point been trained, advised, or you know, traded tech and tactics with Israeli Occupational Forces.
Which makes this headline, just fucking crazy contextually. Like, how are you, as an Israeli, as a settler in a settler-colonial project that is maintaining actively apartied structures, comparing your situation to that of Black Americans facing police brutality? That is fucking insane. Also, the whole "We Can't Breathe Either" line rings really hollow when Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are actively being bombed with white phosphorus. Which, if you didn't know, makes it kinda hard to fucking breathe.
Like, Zionists are fucking desperate, man. I... Wow. Uh, but, yeah. Something to think on. As always, free Palestine and have a great day.
