There is an occ-pier, and an occ-pied. There's a colonizer, and the colonized. The Land Owners and the thieves. It's not complicated.

Happy indigenous peoples day!

hey! i've been in talks with Mohammed/@help-mona.

their campaign (verified here) has been going on for quite a while, and donations have significantly slowed down.

i've been a bit destitute lately, but i was able to chip in 50 euros.

i'd love to see someone match my donation, or even match 10% of it.

if you can't, i'd greatly appreciate it if you could help spread it around.

even with small donations, little by little we can build bridges to safety.

but only if people are willing to help lay the bricks.

Wait, the Greek gods were supposed to be perfect? Is our contemporary understanding of Greek Mythology the equivalent of understanding Christianity through Family Guy jokes about Jesus?

It's a theology, terms like "supposed to" can be loaded. Greek polytheism had no canon. It was by nature diverse, and viewed in many different ways. Greek gods weren't "supposed to" be anything, but the realities of Greek polytheism were far more complex than most people understand.

It’s almost like Palestinians have been saying this has been their real intention the whole time for the better part of a year.

Is it not completely insane and mind blowing that a few days ago just marked a solid year of this and we still get lukewarm headlines by mainstream media about how Israel is now ACCUSED of attacking Gaza hospitals (w no actual penalties for it)…. Think pieces by the New York Times that do their absolute best to tiptoe around the subject, if not outright fail to address it…….. and this is most insulting of all but I even saw more than one headline “honoring the memory” of the IOF soldiers who died in a recent attack…… and this all sounds made up but it’s not. It truly is all you see when you look up the news. Truly nothing has changed

i don't think most people realize how bad things in rafah have truly gotten. we all already know israel has desecrated its own vow that rafah would be the "safe zone" in every way imaginable, but i can't describe how gut-wrenching it is to read about 12 iof soldiers infiltrating the rafah crossing under the guise of an aid truck just a day or so ago. again--they entered rafah with the pretense that they would be supplying starved, displaced people food

this is just now breaking, but i can't fathom how many palestinians got lured out w the promise of feeding their families--only to massacred then and there, never to be heard from again. likely their bodies won't ever be returned to the families. how can anyone read this and not be absolutely horrified

trying a different approach and writing a shorter post. my friend mohamed (@ayeshjourney) vets campaigns on the ground in gaza for @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi (these campaigns are on their spreadsheet here), and also helps run the blog @/gaza-evacuation-funds.

mohamed is raising funds for his family, and his campaign is very low on donations. he does so much to help so many people, and i hope we can show him the same support and generosity. please consider donating even £5 if it is within your means, and if you cannot donate please reblog, and please follow mohamed for any updates!
