“Since the 7 October attacks, Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of committing sexual violence during its incursion. Many mainstream western media outlets have paid considerable attention to these allegations, despite a lack of concrete evidence. But while reporters must always take such accusations seriously, it is equally important for them to uphold journalistic standards in the process - and there appear to have been serious lapses in that regard.

At the same time, allegations involving Palestinian women in Gaza have received far less airtime.

Despite a UN report citing testimonies from Palestinians who said they were sexually assaulted and beaten while in Israeli detention, the mainstream western media has failed to give this issue much attention.

In addition to the UN report, there are many documented cases of Palestinian women who described sexual abuse at the hands of Israeli forces. Detainees reported being stripped to their underwear, beaten, searched and threatened with rape. Despite all the documented cases of sexual assault, however, Israel has used a single incident to refute them all. After Al Jazeera recently covered an alleged eyewitness account of the rape of a Palestinian woman by Israeli forces at al-Shifa hospital, the network backtracked upon learning the claims were fabricated, with a former managing director saying the woman had misled people “to provoke an emotional response”. After the report was debunked, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz suggested that the UN was wrong to take any such reports seriously. This is a dangerous position, considering that the UN and other human rights groups have recorded myriad other incidents of sexual assault and humiliating treatment of Palestinian women by Israeli soldiers. All of this has left us in a situation where Israel, despite being accused of sexual violence in the ongoing war on Gaza, continues to benefit from the silence of mainstream western media - and sometimes the silence of the victims themselves.”

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

The amount of cognitive dissonance and straight up DELUSION. It takes to say you belong to this ‘holy land.’ Then proceed to bomb it, destroy churches and trees that belong there and that have been apart of that land for longer than they’ve been alive. Not to mention targeting innocent civilians and journalists as a way to try to stop the atrocities they’ve committed from being exposed to the world.

Yet they think they have the most moral army in the world. What a joke. The blatant stupidity and overall lack of humanity you must have to think. Slaughtering innocent people so that you can steal their land is justifiable. You must be fucking mental.

And when you get called out on your crimes. You call people ‘anti-Semite’s’ to try to delegitimise their claims is pathetic. Shame.

So, I watched The Zone of Interest today...

It was really good, like super good and definitely worth a watch. I really like how inescapable the truth was, most of the movie took place within the Höss household, but the barracks of Auschwitz could be seen over the wall, and all the noise of the ongoings of the camp was inescapable, it was hauntingly beautiful. The acting was superb and the cinematography was really beautiful as well, it was deeply unsettling how everything played out so normally for lack of a better word, there were moments where you could almost forget where you are and who you're with, but then something happens, someone says something, you see something and your immediately reminded exactly what kind of movie you're watching.

It's kind of weird to say favourite scene, but I guess the most poignant scene for me was the river scene, Rudolf and two of his children are playing in a river when ash from the crematorium starts floating down stream, and there's so much of it it's so horrifying just how much there was, I actually had to pause the movie for a moment.

Do people realize that Israel is so unrestrained that it’s now launching attacks in Lebanon and Syria as well. Do people realize how little Arab people mean to these genocidal maniacs that they are now killing people in three Arab countries. Can genocide apologists pause their pure hatred for Arabs to at the very least admit this. Or are we going to pretend that Israel has a reason to be intensifying attacks in Damascus right now

netizens are desensitising gruesome things that are taking place in Palestine.

even the internet’s reaction to graphic things such as - pictures of injured children, civilians stuck under rubble, dead bodies of families in their destroyed homes etc. is beyond underwhelming.

DO NOT NORMALISE GENOCIDE.

BREAK THE STIGMA.

The settlers are already planning the names of cities in Palestine.

We are slowly running out of time, we have to take action. We have to demand, we have to scream. There was time to be polite, but It’s over now.

Fire is catching. Let it burn.
