When Obama became the president, he didn't make my land safer, he turned it into a graveyard with remnants of his drones scattered all over the land. My beloved land is in ruins and I will never be able to return there. Obama was no different than Bush, he was in fact worse. Cursing Obama has become a household routine. Whether Trump, Biden or any other leader takes the mantle of imperialism, we will suffer greatly, not you. We do not care about the outcome in your country. You will go to the polling stations, cast your vote, you will ask for change, but refuse to stand up and organize, you will repeat the same defeatist rhetoric and go back to your old routine every four year, hoping for some kind of change in your land all the while we continue to be exploited.

Everytime I see news about Eurovision my eye twitches because every year Palestinians said stop watching this and the response was “how dare you take away my emotional support pinkwashing show”

I feel like in the midst of all of these daily tragedies we might forget that the people of Gaza are literally not superheroes and they do not possess special powers that we don't. I know Palestinians have been dehumanised but it also feels like sometimes this dehumanisation comes in the form of attributing superpowers to Palestinians.

Palestinians don't want to die.

Just like you, they look forward to weekends, to their morning coffee. They plan birthday parties for their kids and they complain about the laundry. They have a favourite chocolate brand and they hate not being able to get that tune out of their head. They have preferences and arguments. And just like you, they hate the sight of blood.

Palestinians don't want to die.

Honestly I was just thinking the other day about how annoying it is when people, mostly Israelis, call this a conflict. Then I found this post and it explained everything perfectly. So here you go, this is also for the people who at times maybe cant find the right words to explain why "conflict", is the wrong term to describe whats happening in Palestine.

On 27 November 2005, a Palestinian woman named Mahfodah Shtayyeh was photographed hugging an olive tree after it was attacked by Israeli settlers. The photograph became an iconic image symbolising the daily struggle of many Palestinian farmers in the occupied West Bank. Over 800,000 olive trees on Palestinian farms have been uprooted by the Israeli authorities and settlers since 1967. Despite all this Mahfodah is full of spirit: "They destroyed my olive trees but I grew them back. I tended them and they came back even better than before. Settlers will never be able to take my land. This is our land, not theirs. We will keep resisting until the world ends."

Where is the International protection the Palestinian people is entitled to when the occupying power violates international law and harms those it is obliged to protect. Aren't Palestinians lives worth saving?

this terrified kitty won't let go of the young man who found it under the rubble.

the reporter was wondering if animals associations would care for the animals situation in gaza and the man answers her: "they do not care about us; human beings, you think they care about animals?! they do not care about us. no one does."

Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if we’re already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. “We will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-“ how about you stop “making peace” with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.

Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.
