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.

Hello.

I am back just for these few things.

I know it feels like it gets worse every day, hour, minute, and second. And that it seems as if that there is an endless sea of bigoted, hateful, and downright pure evil people.

But, that's not true. I get it. I feel all this despair too. Likewise, I want to just melt into nothingness with all the negativity I see. But here, let me show you. The amount of hateful people in this world causing all of this death, pain, suffering, etc. Is a minority. We outnumber them tenfold!

And given that people are good, and that a large amount of hate comes from misguidance and being uninformed. We are truly a much larger group.

We are the workers that make the machine work.

So we can make it stop.

We are the consumers that fund the evil.

So we can stop.

We are the mouths that spread the word.

So we can be loud.

We are the hands that post, reblog, repost, etc.

So we can do it for them.

We can win this. We will win this. The news you've seen is bad, it has got quite terrible. But there are so many of us. So many of us on this earth fighting to make it better. The journalists showing us the horrors in Palestine, Sudan, the Congo, Haiti, West Papua, etc. The aid workers, sometimes giving their lives to bring aid and resources to the ones suffering, the ones who are living the nightmare and hell. Who fight every second to live and survive against an oppressor and odds that truly wish them gone.

And then, there's us. You reading this. Odds are, you're either young and think you can't do much. Or you're and adult that doesn't buy much and think there's not much you can do either. Well, let me tell you:

Your words are powerful

Even just spreading the word, reading posts and reblogging them to raise awareness and keep the tags trending impacts greatly. Talking about it with your peers, family, coworkers. It shows more people that they should care.

Clicking on arab.org every day, donating if you can, boycotting, protesting, organizing protests, divesting, sanctioning

We make impacts.

Small contributions to a large effect. And it shows. The ones peddling the genocide, suffering, and lies fear us. They are doing everything they can to erase our voices.

They know we are powerful. We outnumber them!

Remember that.

Now go, do everything in your power to spread the word. Click, donate, boycott. Never stop.

They suffer while we live free

Nobody is free until they are.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

I don't understand why veto powers even exist. It's just another tool the US takes advantage of to continue their unapologetic colonialist, expansionist, genocidal actions.

I personally don't respect people who shut their eyes out of conflicts just because it is sensitive topics. Will you see them as respectable to who avert their gaze from your suffering and not showing any respect, decency and empathy?

Reasons are excuses. "This isn't my thing" Is just excuse for hiding behind lack of empathy and humanity you all having. How do you feel if someone have all wounded bodies knock your doors and you said, "this isn't my thing for helping. Go away". This is the exact thing you have been doing for years. It is pure unblessed ignorance.

I cannot believe it, I found the Hammarskjold movie

I really enjoyed it, it is about everything I would ask for

Thoughts under the read more, will include spoilers

I really like the direction, the dichotomy between Hammarskjold the Secretary-General and Dag the person. I see why some wanted more focus on the crisis itself, but I actually think the crisis is not that relevant to him, as the subject of the movie. And given the almost 2 hour run time already, I think it was the right decision.

I cannot talk about the dichotomy between Secretary-General and man without talking about Peter. I remember reading that the director added Peter as a stand-in for him, as a voice to which he said what he wanted to Dag. I definitely see that, but his sub-plot with Dag was so good it is barely noticeable. (And I respect the rpf self insert shipping 😂)

In the movie, Dag and Peter knew each other since University, but were estranged after Peter tried to kiss him on a camping trip. It’s almost like a romcom setup - the love interest reappears into the protagonist’s life in a time of turmoil and uncertainty, reigniting feelings the protagonist long repressed. In the past, Peter even gave him a gift - a statue of a unicorn - something Dag would later use in Markings to describe himself.

The conflict within Dag is so palpable. When Dag was told Peter had previously been found guilty of homosexuality in Sweden, the first thing he asked was if anyone else knew. When he rejected Peter for the second time, Greenback his pet monkey and sole companion died almost simultaneously… the parallel writes itself doesn’t it?

The Congo crisis itself was probably the weaker part of the movie, and I am fine with it. It quietly builds up in the background, and ends almost just as unsatisfyingly quiet. Because there is no fight at the climax, this is not a 3-arc narrative where everything is resolved, not even like the more well-known crises in the Cold War where everything ended generally better than it started, the crisis continued on for years, if not till modern day. Hammarskjold died, and the movie ends with him. I would suggest watching a different movie if you want to focus on the events of the crisis.

It somewhat reminds me of reading about the crisis in real life: you know what it is from the start, there is no gallant fight, you watch them walk away less hurt than the good people, you watch them win using all the dirty tricks, you know it doesn’t matter that the pilot who shot his plane down had tears in his eyes, you know how it ends.

Most other characters are relatively one-note, and I think it fits. Dag was a lonely, perhaps very repressed man. I think on some level he was afraid of being known so intimately, the way Peter did, and thus he keeps most people (that he didn’t know prior to being at the UN) at arm’s length.

The use of quotes from Markings were also well-chosen and well-timed. I could almost recite them by heart, and they fit very well into the plot. The movie does a really good job making you want to see Dag happy - in a cottage near his friends, back home in Sweden, no stressful job, and perhaps love. When Peter sent him a letter telling Dag that he had a right to be happy too, and Dag replied that Peter would be welcome when his term ended, it hurts ever more knowing it was too late.

I previously said this movie was my Oppenheimer, but that isn’t entirely accurate now, I suppose. Oppenheimer was a deeply polarising individual - the father of the atomic bomb - the movie must balance between his point of view and addressing the reality/horrors of him and his creation.

But Hammarskjold does not have this baggage - he is still by a wide margin considered the best Secretary-General of the UN, remembered universally positively. For once, Hammarskjold didn’t have to be the image of an impossibly perfect Secretary-General, he can be Dag. And I think he has more than earned it.

If this movie is all that the world will ever learn about Dag Hammarskjold, I would be satisfied. I would rank this a 10/10, but I am very easily satisfied by movies.

(If I got anything wrong, it’s probably because the version I watched had a dub in a language I do not speak, and subtitles that were not in sync with the movie)

The houthis atacked israel Ships because they are antisemitisc plus they are starving yemenis

They might be for Palestine but they are not the Good guys

Israeli ships are being targeted because they are carrying and supplying weapons to Israel.

Which are being used to kill Palestinians.

But also because attacking the ships will encourage other countries to halt trade with Israel.

This actually was a key step in the eventual dismantle of the South African apartheid.

And lest we forget, Israel is an aphartied state.

Aphartied for those that don't know is a policy that is founded on the idea of separating people based on racial or ethnic criteria.

So, racism and thinking your race is more superior than another. Like thinking Israeli's are superior to Palestinians and Arabs in general.

The at the time, Jamaican Cheif Minister Norman Manley during the South African apartheid said:

"The ban on trade with South Africa is logical and proper. And done in respect of a country which denies its own people all the basic human rights. And denies coloured people all over the world every right to human rights intercourse.

Since we cannot send a coloured athlete to South Africa nor even a cricket team with any pretense of dignity. Why should we send our goods?"

I bring up Jamaica because they were one of the first nations to condemn South African apartheid.

They banned trade and travel with South Africa despite still being a British Colony.

Something that in a lot of ways mirrors how Yemen, is one of the first countries to act in direct resistance to Israel.

So no it's not antisemitic, just a tried and true method used to aid in the dismantle aphartied regimes.

But than Pro Israeli's much like the Israeli government see every form of resistance against them, no matter if it's peaceful or violent, as antisemitic and terrorism.

Israel can tell the world it wants to make Gaza into Auschwitz but than be afraid and mad when Palestinians want to be free from the river to the sea.

As for the second part of your ask... What are you 5?

Newsflash, there are no perfect heroes this isn't a movie or a cartoon.

Turkey stands with Palestine, they're sending a case to the International Criminal Court in regards to Israel's genocide of the Palestinians.

Which is great.

Doesn't negate the whole Armenian Genocide and the shit they're doing to Kurdish people.

Britain's over here talking about a ceasefire when they've still got colonies.

They're funding the civil war in Sudan, the atrocities against the Congolese and many many more.

Not to mention shipping weapons to Israel.

All of this doesn't mean they shouldn't be speaking out against Israel.

In fact I'd argue it's a more of a reason for them to speak up, because they have the power too.

Also on the topic of starving Yemen, let's not pretend that the UN didn't drop Yemen from their world food programme.

Seemingly in response to Yemen standing against Israel.

Which means the UN like Israel are inflicting collective punishment. Which is both a war crime and a violation of international law.

Yemen standing up for Palestine is a brave and amazing thing, because they have nothing and are doing everything.

Of course they have their own issues, but that doesn't suddenly make what they're doing to aid Palestinians have any less of an affect.

"They aren't the good guys"

Be fucking for real, every country has blood on its hands.

Some more so than others. And those continuing to cause bloodshed need to be held accountable.

That doesn't change that Palestine deserves to be free. As does Yemen as does every country and people facing oppression.

Isrsel has been actively committing a genocide for 75 years, they need to be stopped.

That's an indisputable fact.

At this point, if there's anyone trying to deny it being an ethnic cleansing, or that Palestinians are not being actively trapped in an awful situation of oppression and deliberate murder after the dozens of pictures, videos and reports coming from Gaza and other cities about premature babies being left to die in hospitals, children being shot or beaten up in prisons, grandparents and relatives waking up to find their children and grandchildren under rubble from airstrikes the next morning and seeing g entire generations wiped, or of people simply trying to evacuate and leave (even though its their home and they have all the rights to stay as much as other ethnic groups of the population have) only to end up shot by the Israeli army and put in a mass grave... I seriously don't want you to even open your mouth or interact with my posts. Shame on you.

Regardless of what animosity there may or may not be present between two people, groups or sides, this is not acceptable, ever. The Israeli government and military is actively - and very sickeningly so - bringing such misery to these people, yet zionists will still try to deny it. And oppression in various forms has been ongoing, dictating many aspects of their daily lives.

They have been getting away with these atrocities without any ounce of regret or guilt.

I sincerely want to see these monsters in the international court, but because Palestinians are not seen in the same way as perhaps Ukrainians will be seen by the West as many won't look visibly similar to many living there (being non-white), there is an active erasure of them on the media at times. That's why you don't see any accountability.

And that's why you need to keep speaking and calling them out.

Mind you, many states have committed atrocities in other countries - such as Vietnam, for one - with impunity. To this day, many people in Vietnam still live with the effects caused by the war - be it the previous loss of their homes, families, or even health due to the agent orange. Almost no state sitting at the table in the UN is actually free of having blood in their hands or of sin altogether in whatever other form of injustice.

You can acknowledge what your country has done right while also calling out on what has been done awfully wrong and continue being a citizen of said country/state. One is not exclusive of the other.

The reason why the Kremlin has allowed the country of Russia to distribute it's own aid in a direct manner is because they have been aware just how much infiltration has occurred inside organizations like the UN, UNRWA, and the EU's head staff. So why bother donating your aid when not only are you getting heavily sanctioned by these states; but also, have it all stolen and receive zero credit or proof that it assisted the poor.

So now African countries like Sudan and Somalia receive free shipments of grain every few months (as far as I can tell) and although it may not be enough, at least we can see that a country like Russia wouldn't withhold poor people's charity like the fucking EU has committed MULTIPLE times.

PS - just stating straight facts here whether you like it or not.
