"Don't let Palestine become a trend!"

I'm seeing statements like these a lot. And I agree and sympathize. After all, I've seen leftists pretend to care about Belarus in 2021 for a few months and then suddenly switch causes, never uttering a word about my home again while I still fear for my relatives back in Minsk. It hurts.

But you are naive. Terribly so. Because Palestine - like all "causes" of so called slacktivists already has become a trend. You've seen people who used to be so very vocal about BLM, StopAsianHate, Taiwan, Belarus, Ukraine and many more suddenly switch their focus, abandoning those causes entirely because they're not "trendy" anymore.

This is performative activism. And leftists are horribly susceptible to it - hell I myself have been guilty of that.

That switching of causes like one might switch fandoms (because this is *the* fandom blogging site) is one thing. Even worse I have seen people say things like "Ukraine is low priority. What's going on in Palestine is worse" which is harrowing and a mortifying thing to say by itself. Some of you who haven't said it aloud might subconsciously think that. This mindset is performative, disrespectful and morally bankrupt.

Because you - yes YOU treat global conflicts like fandom. Jumping from one to another. No longer caring about what used to be your sole focus. It's not activism, this is a cowardly performance. And the same will happen with Palestine. Give it a few more months - or even years. But it will happen eventually. Those of you who right now care so much and loudly will gleefully abandon your "cause" to jump to another, more trendy one.

I'm not saying this to attack anyone. I'm saying this as a wake up call to people who think blogging is activism, to those who treat global conflicts like fandom or football matches. It's many of you to whom this post is directed at.

"Don't let Palestine become a trend" is a dream of naivety. A lie. A fruitless attempt.

"Stop treating Palestine and other global conflicts like trends" is what you instead should say. YOU, yes YOU can change that.

We are witnessing the grotesque reality of the martyred Palestinians and thousands of their massacred children being written off as mere afterthoughts. The way western media outlets steadfastly refuse to call the Israeli aggression and onslaught for what it is, which is genocide and ethnic cleansing, is just another way of dehumanizing Palestinians.

You guys better never shut up about Palestine. Even when they are liberated, your mouth better not close. Thousands upon thousands have died, and your words will never equal their lives, even if you spoke of them for thousands of years. You owe it to their memory, and to the people who live on, to never shut up.

Raindove is still fundraising to get as many people out of Rafah as quickly as possible while the tanks are encroaching on Rafah. The terrorist zionist forces are going to try to do as much damage as possible. They're about 3k away from their initial goal. They don't have much more time. They've already done so much to help Ghazzawiyeh, they can do more with your help.
