Broke:

Belle has Stockholm syndrome because she falls in love with the Beast, her kidnapper.

Woke:

Stockholm syndrome was coined to slander a woman who had been in a hostage situation but openly criticized the poor police response which recklessly put her in more danger and escalated the violence. She was then belittled and discredited publically by the police for this.

So. Yeah. Maybe Belle does have Stockholm syndrome actually.

poetry outlets that support a free palestine

after finding out that the poetry foundation/POETRY magazine pulled a piece that discussed anti-zionism because they "don't want to pick a side" during the current genocide, i decided to put together a list of online outlets who are explicitly in solidarity with palestine where you can read (english-language) poetry, including, except where otherwise stated, by palestinian poets!

my criteria for this is not simply that they have published palestinian poets or pro-palestine statements in the past; i only chose outlets that, since october 7, 2023, have done one of the following:

published a solidarity statement against israeli occupation & genocide

signed onto the open letter for writers against the war on gaza and/or the open letter boycotting the poetry foundation

published content that is explicitly pro-palestine or anti-zionist, including poetry that explicitly deals with israeli occupation & genocide

shared posts that are pro-palestine on their social media accounts

fyi this is undoubtedly a very small sample. also some of these sites primarily feature nonfiction or short stories, but they do all publish poetry.

outlets that focus entirely on palestinian or SWANA (southwest asia and north africa) literature

we are not numbers, a palestinian youth-led project to write about palestinian lives

arab lit, a magazine for arabic literature in translation that is run by a crowd-funded collective

sumuo, an arab magazine, platform, and community (they appear to have a forthcoming palestine special print issue edited by leena aboutaleb and zaina alsous)

mizna, a platform for contemporary SWANA (southwest asian & north africa) lit, film, and art

the markaz review, a literary arts publication and cultural institution that curates content and programs on the greater middle east and communities in diaspora

online magazines who have published special issues of all palestinian writers (and all of them publish palestinian poets in their regular issues too)

fiyah literary magazine in december 2021, edited by nadia shammas and summer farah (if you have $6 usd to spare, proceeds from the e-book go to medical aid for palestinians)

strange horizons in march 2021, edited by rasha abdulhadi

the baffler in june 2021, curated by poet/translators fady joudah & lena khalaf tuffaha

the markaz review has two palestine-specific issues, on gaza and on palestinians in israel, currently free to download

literary hub featured palestinian poets in 2018 for the anniversary of the 1948 nakba

adi magazine, who have shifted their current (october 2023) issue to be all palestinian writers

outlets that generally seem to be pro-palestine/publish pro-palestine pieces and palestinian poetry

protean magazine (here's their solidarity statement)

poetry online (offering no-fee submissions to palestinian writers)

sundog lit (offering no-fee submissions to palestinian writers through december 1, 2023)

guernica magazine (here's a twitter thread of palestinian poetry they've published)

split this rock (here's their solidarity statement)

the margins by the asian-american writers' workshop

the offing magazine

rusted radishes

voicemail poems

jewish currents

the drift magazine

asymptote

the poetry project

ctrl + v journal

the funambulist magazine

n+1 magazine (signed onto the open letter and they have many pro-palestine articles, but i'm not sure if they have published palestinian poets specifically)

hammer & hope (signed onto the letter but they are a new magazine only on their second issue and don't appear to have published any palestinian poets yet)

if you know others, please add them on!

Days after the trip to Gaza, Malcolm would pen his most extensive article on the Palestinian cause.

On 17 September 1964, he published the essay, "Zionist Logic", in the Cairo-based newspaper, the Egyptian Gazette.

In the piece, he describes Zionism as "a new form of colonialism" which appears to be "benevolent" and "philanthropic". He warned that newly-independent African countries in economic difficulty were being exploited by Israel through economic aid and assistance.

He also accused the West of strategically attempting to divide Africans and Asians, through the creation of the state of Israel.

"The ever-scheming European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world, infiltrate and sow the seed of dissension among African leaders and also divide the Africans against the Asians," he wrote.

"The continued low standard of living in the Arab world has been skillfully used by the Zionist propagandists to make it appear to the Africans that the Arab leaders are not intellectually or technically qualified to lift the living standard of their people.

"Thus, indirectly inducing Africans to turn away from the Arabs and towards the Israelis for teachers and technical assistance." In the essay's final section, he questioned Israel's justification of a state based on a "promised land". "If the 'religious' claim of the Zionists is true that they were to be led to the promised land by their messiah, and Israel's present occupation of Arab Palestine is the fulfillment of that prophesy: where is their messiah[?]" he asked. He then drew a comparison with Muslim rule over Spain, and whether that period would give Muslims the right to invade Iberia in the present day.

Some relevant movies and tv shows that should be boycotted:

Stranger Things: Noah Schnapp claimed zionism is sexy and Hamas is ISIS and liked videos on twitter mocking Palestinian people; actor Brett Gelman and producer Shawn Levy are zionists and both support Schnapp

The Last Of Us: israeli politics in The Last Of Us Part 2; Neil Druckmann openly supports israel

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Rick Riordan, the author of the books has made zionist comments neutral to Israel and the genocide

The Umbrella Academy: Aidan Gallagher openly supported Israel on instagram with a post "I stand with Israel", post is now deleted

Deadpool 3: Shawn Levy, the director of the movie is a zionist

Dune 2: Timothee Chalamet made a joke on SNL about the genocide in Palestine

Any Disney movies and shows including Inside Out 2, PJO, The Eras Tour movie, Moana 2, Marvel content: Disney is funding Israel, it has been announced that a new Israeli superhero will be joining the MCU

If you support Palestine, boycott zionist companies and stop funding them. Besides, there are many ways to watch the newest movies without paying a cent.

Please feel free to add more movies and shows with source links! 🍉

#bubblebar {font-family:consolas; width:60px; position:fixed; right:15px; bottom:70px;} .bubble {text-align:center; float:right; height:10px; width:34px; padding-top:12px; padding-bottom:12px; margin-top:10px; overflow:hidden; -moz-border-radius: 17px 17px 17px 17px; border-radius:17px 17px 17px 17px;  -webkit-transition: opacity 0.7s linear;-webkit-transition: all 0.7s ease-in-out;-moz-transition: all 0.7s ease-in-out;-o-transition: all 0.7s ease-in-out; z-index:999;font-family:consolas;}   #vertical {position:fixed right:30px; bottom:0px; height:260px; background-color: #f8c76f; background-image:url(‘IMAGE URL’); -moz-border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px; border-radius:10px 10px 0px 0px; }   #bubble1 {border:3px solid #9ec1f2; background-color:#ffffff}   #bubble1:hover {padding:5px; height:50px; width:120px; border:3px solid #4680d2;}   #bubble2 {border:3px solid #f795bc; background-color:#ffffff;}   #bubble2:hover {padding:5px; height:50px; width:120px; border:3px solid #be2a65;}   #music {border:3px solid #acacac; background-color:#ffffff;}   #music:hover {padding:5px; height:50px; width:50px; border:3px solid #111111;}   #player{padding-bottom:5px;}

Put this part above the tag </body>, retype ALL the quotation marks.

<div id=”vertical”></div>

 <div id=”bubblebar”>

<div class=”bubble” id=”bubble1”><img src=”ICON I URL”/><br/><br/> <div>bubble 1 text here</div> </div>   <div class=”bubble” id=”bubble2”><img src=”ICON 2 URL”/><br/><br/> <div>bubble 2 text here</div></div>   <div class=”bubble” id=”music”><img src=”MUSIC ICON URL”/> <br/><br/> <div id=”player”>MUSIC PLAYER CODE</div> <div>title</div>

</div>

You will have to adjust the height/width of the bubbles on hover depending on the lenght of your text

You will find the icons on ixora, same for a music player code, I changed the colors from the example, it will be easier for you to see what is what…

Please like the post if you’re gonna use it because I spent the last hour rewriting it to be customizable. Thank you OTL
