The way they're acting like "ceasefire" means "go blow yourselves up" is just. A ceasefire is nothing. It's less than the bare minimum. It's not "rebuild what you destroyed." It's not "pay the victims remaining of the families you killed." It's not "rehabilitate Gaza." It's not any of the demands that could be made in this situation. It's just... Stop. Stop killing them. And even that is treated like it's so fucking extreme and if you call for it you must want Jews to die. Politicians with an agenda can really demonize anything.

(Nov. 7)

@Shepherds4Good: Palestinian children in Gaza hold a press conference outside Al Shifa hospital, speaking English so the world cannot pretend not to understand them: “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace… we want to live as the other children live.”

i do not pity israel. never have, and never will.

each night that gaza experiences is deadlier than the last, as idf soldiers record propaganda tiktoks, make rave parties and grwms and fit checks, gloat over having food and water, and film themselves deriving sadistic pleasure from torturing their hostages and victims and desecrating the dead.

Palestinians have to display their martyred before the camera for you to believe the atrocities that the zionist entity has subjected them to. they cannot even mourn in private. the apartheid entity murders them in cold blood, and you deliver the killing blow by doubting them.

babies whose families have been killed will never get to know their own name.

i can't reshare a tenth of the videos and photos that cross my timeline. i have seen more dead children in the past month than i have known death my entire life.

israeli settlers burn olive trees, bomb bakeries and fishing boats, shower white phosphorus and earthquake bombs on the captive civilians of gaza. you already know about the disastrous effects of white phosphorus, but earthquake bombs were last used during ww2 to wipe out entire cities.

how holy is the land that seeks to be built over the mass graves of thousands of children? is it holier than the miracle of a child being born in this hypocritical world?

all 11 universities in gaza have been bombed. academics should be agitating right now, especially those who call themselves "decolonial thinkers." destruction of universities is a sinisterly deliberate act to sabotage the Palestinians who will survive this great catastrophe.

the act of cleansing your hands before prayer is extremely important to muslims. no part of us can remotely comprehend the grief of the mother who refused to wash her hands from the blood of her children after losing them in a zionist airstrike over gaza. "I swear I won't wash them, I won't wash my hands, how else am I supposed to sleep near my kids."

it is only both moral and right when one side defends itself. the other side are the price of war, no better than insects and cattle and sheep left to die within the four walls of the slaughterhouse.

this situation should not be up for debate, but let me finish with one final thing : do your research about Palestine. HOWEVER. you do not need a degree in middle east studies to object to an ongoing genocide. if someone outwits you in a debate about historical details and every nuance of a subject, you were and will remain entirely correct in objecting to a genocide.

may those martyred rest in peace and be reunited again with their loved ones in heaven's eternal vastness.

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE.

glory to Palestinian resistance. from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Stereotypes make it easier to dehumanize us and incite violence. We call for narratives that show our humanity.

And this kind of problematic portrayals of Asian women is still happening in 21st century in Western Media/Hollywood.

Think of

Sonoya Mizuno’s Kyoko in Ex-Machina

Gemma Chan’s Mia in Humans

Naoko Mori’s Toshiko Sato in Torchwood

Hettienne Park’s Beverly Katz in Hannibal

Rinko Kikuchi’s Mako Mori in Pacific Rim: Uprising

Both Grace Park’s characters in Battlestar Galactica 

Dianne Doan’s character in Vikings

Amara Karan’s Suri Chohan in Stan Lee’s Lucky Man and all the EA female characters in that show 

Everything about Cho Chang’s treatment in Harry Potter (both the books and the movies).

Dichen Lachman’s characters alone have their own little graveyard.

This is just a small list off the top of my head of an already small list of Asian female characters that exist in Western Media being brutally killed off or sexually assaulted (sometimes both) on screen in the recent years.

“I have wanted to be in the MCU since the MCU debuted. I didn’t even know what I was auditioning for. And so they sent notes like, “Just overact. It’s okay, just go for it.” So, I was like, “Okay.” And I did some very great overacting. They called, and they were like, “Hey, you got the part.” And I’m like, “What part? What’s the part?” Before they even told me what it was, I said to my agent, I was like, “Oh my gosh, what if it’s Monica Rambeau?” And then it was Monica Rambeau, and I lost it. And I practically tried to jump off a set of stairs ‘cause I thought I could fly. I was so excited.”
